I feel like Square Enix's in house teams are trying be more pretensious than each other in some artsy competetion, I never thought I'd see Mickey Mouse act so seriously

I have no idea what is going on in the KH universe anymore. Just give me KH 3. Also, with how the word seems to be thrown around in the series sometimes, how was "destiny" not used in the title?

I have been waiting for a kh game for so long. then i realized like 4 have come out. but all are not on a console or progress the story in a meaningful way , save birth by sleep... 
 
edit: but i just watched this again and realized that the video is very different from the over used original game. Of course your still i traverse town but now game play seems a bit more interesting and sora and riku are working together. SO i predicted they both get caught in a dream together b/c of some weird heartless and have to work together to get out, and as such the dream they get caught in is the stuff from kh1. but b/c they really didnt show any disney characters of worlds...except micky and wizard, who are working on the cure, the game focuses on the kh unique worlds or they didnt reveal the other worlds.

They're totally just having a laugh at this point. I mean the argument can be made that conceptually this franchise has been "off the rails" from the beginning but that was in a charming way - now they're off the rails in a contest to say who can make the game with the most zippers.
 
Not sure if KH3 can salvage any of it, and not sure if I care. Yeah I'll still buy it (KH3, not this Dream Drop Dookie or whatever) but my expectations have hit rock bottom.

I don't understand this, why on earth have they not made Kingdom Hearts three yet? Is it licensing of the Disney characters or something (shouldn't be a problem seeing as they're fine on handhelds) I just don't get it, they know we want it and just won't come out with it...and yet square feels like it's a better idea to FLOOD consoles with Final Fantasy...wtf Square...I am disappointed

Love the series but the titles on the Nintendo portables have been let downs. Really need to get Birth By Sleep.

KH3 for PS3. Enough sequels/prequels/sidestories. Too busy working on Versus XIII? Make all the portable teams work on KH3. I will buy the PS3 as soon as there is a Kingdom Hearts on it

Based on the other times they've made spin-offs from KH, this will not be a good game.

If this is the 4th time the re-use the worlds from the 1st game I AM GOING TO LOOSE IT. 
 
If your only experience with Kingdom Hearts is the Nintendo releases, how boring that must be.

wow another side story, even though this isn't KH3 i know I'm getting it day one just for the hope that there will be a preview of KH3 if i beat the game on hard or something. 
 
One plus though is that there is actually a new world, the scene with the bells bells looks like it was taken out of Hunchback of Notre Dame, and I'm sure that all the other other levels will be the same old locations we already know.

Seems just about everything Square is working on lately is just spinoff crazy (mostly KH & FF), wonder if anyone over there knows what's going on with either franchise.

1. That is a shit title and a stupid excuse to put 3D in the name.
 2. All Kingdom Hearts games look the same. It's time for them to make a KH3 so they can recycle assets from that game for the PSP2.

I'm still not clear on what the plot is (I hope it's more consequential than re:coded), but the combat is enough to make me want it.

Apparently it has something to do with the team that makes the console versions having their hands full with VS XIII, and have been busy with that since I don't know how long.  This is only what I've heard some random guy on the internet say though.
 
I've played most of the games in this series (no Final Mixes though), quite a feat I might say considering how spread out over different platforms the games have been. Only game I've skipped so far is Re:coded because I heard it didn't actually have much of an impact storywise, except for a little bit at the end which I just youtube'd. 
 
I have to say that I would have liked to never see young Sora again, but the prospect of playing Riku might be enough to pull me in for another round, even if it is young Riku and not Bishie Riku :/ 
 
Well see.

Apparently this takes place after Kingdom Hearts 2 and is set chronologically last in the series timeline so far. Not that, that explains why we see the younger versions of the main characters yet again. Maybe it's part of the "mark of mastery" or whatever they're supposed to be doing now. 
 
Whatever it is it will no doubt be convoluted as hell, just like everything else in this series :D

Ah i see.. but agreed, it's just getting convoluted.. i'm starting to care less and less about Kingdom hearts and this isn't a good sign XP

I could use less disney in my KH to be honest. It didn't stop being good after two, it stopped being good when they are just rehashing weird shit now. I was fine with 358/2 days and I'm fine with birth by sleep, everything seems silly.

Unfortunately won't see a Kingdom Hearts 3 for a good while, with the developers working on Final Fantasy Versus XIII.

Such a shame to see a franchise that had so much potential become a bunch of repetitive spinoffs. I've lost all interest in KH, which sucks cause I really enjoyed the first two.

I dunno, I've always kinda been surprised that it became a "franchise" in the first place. It was a crazy and cool idea for a game, but it was it's strangeness that made it special and refreshing.
 
Now it feels like just another one of those franchises trying to replicate something that just can't be replicated.
