>tfw we used to be more active a week or so ago
>but now we're dead, literally less than 2 days before D23 when we're going to get swarmed again
I don't get it

despair from the imminent disappointment has settled in

Since SE/Disney aren't streaming, we have to rely on twitter
twitter.com/aibo_ac7
twitter.com/Daybreak_Town
aibo or khinsider would probably be the best source as they'll be the ones retweeting people who are at the event
Hopefully someone secretly Periscopes it tomorrow, but it's doubtful
hope you're ready for a frozen world or nothing at all

Honestly I just want to see Kairi's titties and Riku. Anything else is icing on the cake

Rate, hate, and let me see yours.

28 hours remaining, lets see /khg/'s expectations.

strawpoll.me/15033838

Even though I put the option, I don't understand why people expect nothing at all?
I expect the event will go something like
>speech from nomura/hashimoto/dev team
>live performance from yoko
>UX related material
>exclusive BTS KH3 video
>KH3 news

>I don't understand why people expect nothing at all?
Memeing most likely. We're coming up on the part where they can go balls-to-the-wall with marketing, it'd be silly for them to not show anything.

hmmm

>It's just for the fan event in general
>a trailer isn't confirmed
>Nothing is confirmed
>don't get excited

>It's only a coincidence that it's the first tweet from the official kh twitter in a month
>it's only a coincidence that they tweeted a king's crown and three hearts
>three hearts doesn't mean kh3
>it's all just a coincidence

Post yfw the whole presentation is exclusive to the audience

We'll hear a sample of Utada's theme, right bros?

i hope in the new trailer we get a close up of soras monster ass

Begone Phone posters

...

Whos roxas talking to

>Phone posters
What the fuck do you mean? I'm on my laptop

phone

phone filenames aren't like those retard

I can't wait for Sora's monster face to look nothing like that.

THEY'RE HERE

>Get HD Sora & Kairi [EX] pre-strengthened to 5 dots within 15 pulls from the latest EX Medal Deal, starting tonight @ midnight (PT)! As an added bonus, you'll also get one Magic Broom Medal each time you draw from this banner! #KHUX

Was there more of these?

nice.

also nice.

There are 2 things I want from KHUX: a button that will automatically strip your keyblade and a button that will put medals on you keyblade that fit a challenge requirement automatically.

>15 mercy
>t4+
Miss me with that gay shit. Hope the 5 dots isn't just a one time thing for this banner

I need more keyblade setup slots because fairy stars is used for literally everything

>Still no HSC
This is very alarming.

yes

...

Where can I find? I'd like to complete my collection.

There's no fucking point in guaranteed 5 dots though, the most it needed was guaranteed 3 dots for the guilting. The fuck are you gonna do, just leave it unguilted because five dots makes your dick hard?

>2 less mickey and brooms to guilt it
How is this a bad thing?

use less mickey and brooms?

Fuckin hell I don't even know if I should pull. My buffs are all in order, but I feel like this would be nice to have as well

Why the fuck are you using M&B anyway, you luckless freaks? What, you can't manage two Sora & Kairis?
BUY MORE FUCKING JEWELS, KUPO!

Do it for best couple.

>need 45k for guarantee
No thanks, I'm relieved it doesn't really fit a slot in Fairy Stars

On Twitter.

If you don't really need it, given that there's no HSC, just save for now. TVA EX are next. Who knows what'll drop on Saturday/Sunday/Monday, too.

I know most of you guys are focused on D23 or KHUx or whatever, but I am genuinely curious about something. As one of the people who has helped crack open KH2.8, is there something anyone here is interested in knowing about 0.2?
In case nobody figured it out already, 0.2 was effectively the intro of KH3 cut out and sold for $60. We have substantial proof pointing toward this via 0.2 files, but I digress. How interested would anyone here be in knowing some hidden stuff that lurks inside 0.2?

>just in time for Valentine's Day
c a n o n s h i p

Im interested, but what else is there to find? The box its empty and MoM face looks generic.

First off, 0.2 was originally bbs volume 2. A game that was never made due to various reasons
Second, 0.2 being the original intro of kh3 isn't news. Nomura mentioned that they planned it but decided against it and put it as it's own short game with 2.8.
Third, the game was sold with DDD and the ux movie. Don't go implying that it was sold for 60 dollars by itself

Luxu uses some generic NPC model for his face because we were never intended to see it anyway, what with the shading inside the hood. But there's a plethora of things. KH3 Sora's model is referenced numerous times, though no textures or model exist. There is also button mapping for a Windows and Xbox version of 0.2. Combo magic exists as well via text strings. Stuff like AeroIce, AeroFire.

I know about Volume 2. But it had no mention past the secret ending of BbS until 0.2's announcement. It also doesn't appear to be widely known that it was the intro to KH3. Last, my implication was aside from a decent at best movie, 0.2 I'd the only new thing in 2.8, which was $60.

The game is being made on Windows, and releasing on Xbox, nothing you said is groundbreaking.

Indeed.

Can you rip the sound files please, sound effects et al

>the intro of KH3 cut out and sold for $60
You know 2.8 came with DDD and Back Cover too, right

Please show me where you saw 2.8 being released on Xbox.

At this point in time, most long time fans have played DDD on the 3DS, and with no story and very few mechanical changes on the PS4 release, most people paid $60 just for 0.2.

>is there something anyone here is interested in knowing about 0.2?
Not really. I want to see what the Riku model in the RoD looked like, but anything else interesting has already been shown. Aqua hasn't been ripped for SFM porn so it's not really worthwhile. Plus 0.2 wasn't the only thing on the disc, you should know that.

That's like saying the MGS2 demo was sold for $40, even though it was just a bonus that came with Zone of the Enders

>I've saved exactly 45,000 for this moment
I don't mind mercying best couple
Even if it means missing TAV and riku

Sorry, forgot to answer your first question. Sound files are a bit finicky, but we're working on UI stuff currently. We have animations, FMV replacement, models, and model textures, but maps and sounds are on lockdown for now. But we're trying nonetheless.

>Image

Good man.

>It also doesn't appear to be widely known that it was the intro to KH3
This is really old news. I'm surprised you didn't know it common knowledge, especially since someone at khinsider wrote a really salty stinkpiece about it

...

Unfortunately, I don't pay attention to KHInsider, KH13, or other groups like that. My experience with them has been unfruitful. I know it's old news, but when I've tried telling others who didn't know, they'd get defensive and jump on the "NUH UH, IT WAS ALWAYS PLANNED TO BE SEPARATE BECAUSE BBS VOLUME 2"

...

Well, that's not wrong technically.

BbS Volume Two was intended to be happen, but got shelved. Then it would have been salvaged as an intro for KHIII, but Nomura decided to make it standalone as a "prologue" chapter for 2.8

So it was separate, then it wasn't, and now it's separate again.

We still have yet to see Kairi in Twilight Town

Did you not play KH2?

Do you really want to see her hang out with Ham, Peas and Omelette that much?

Kinda. Something other than muh Sora or muh Riku would be nice.

Guys, I'm finally able to compete. Finally, after being a lucklet for a full fucking year and not being able to do anything since I never got any kairis. I now have KEX, XEX and fully guilted HD leon, Days Riku, HD Antiform Sora, HD Vanitas, HD Larxene, Boss Marluxia and not guilted HD Zexion.
I'm so happy I can do Colosseum stuff and event quests.

Congrats, user, and I'm so sorry it took you a year to get where I was after three weeks.
Best of luck in the next S/M/P Gem and Moon Gem challenges!

24 HOURS

Welcome to the meta friend, enjoy not being useless for up until KEX 2.0 shows up or whatever

Speeding through a python book to get better at coding while fistfulling reese's pieces into my mouth and lazily watching the KHG silence before the storm is a fulfilling night.

cozy

Quota user... Where.. is my SKEX?

I certainly didn't get it. Not even good traits.

Who is responsible for the KHUX story because they have absolutely no notion of pacing or character development. Literally all they would've needed to do was introduce stalker-chan earlier and do nothing for a while then kill her off and it would have meant something. meanwhile we're supposed to randomly care about random keyblade wielders who don't have names or personality yet the few random characters that player was trying to be friends with are completely forgotten as is the fact that no one was supposed to be friends because of union competitions. and then 3 months of backtracking the same disney worlds turned nanny-state levels of political correctness. can't wait for that Abu character again, really cracked me up.

It's impossible to have introduced Strelitzia earlier.

She's a new character for Union χ[Cross]. The story up to that point (which is still going on in Player's perspective) was set in stone in 2015 when χ[chi]'s story and service were ended.

Well since they now actually list the probabilities they likely either removed the weighted pulls to avoid getting into deep shit from data miners if it's found out they're doing a Destiny 2, or more likely they just removed the quota filling for the start of a banner since it was too easy for players to exploit. They might have left the quota based weighting near the end of banners if it exists at all.

The point is to have a character that is around for more than 3 story snippets before killing them off. They should have kept her around for a few more story updates, they could have all been as flashbacks, then it would've been at least somewhat of an impact.
It's not like there was any rush for the JP version to be stuck in Agrabah filler for months. Saying 'oh look here's an unknown love interest, now she's dead. feel sad' is just like 'oh here's an unknown super villain behind everything, he dies the same scene he's introduced and the story forgets about him' or 'here is a legendary weapon stronger than anything, it's weaker than a weapon you buy in a shop right afterward'.

whoever planned this out would suck at being a DM

Have you ever watched a crime serial, user?

The point of Strelitzia wasn't for us to have a love interest and be heartbroken when she's snatched away. She's not Aerith.

She's the victim of a murder and the crux of her role is facilitating that mystery. Her purpose is to create a situation where someone in the Union Leaders doesn't belong there.

She can't have been allowed to make it to the meet-up for this to happen, and she can't have met any of the Leaders, or Player, or else the jig would be up the moment everyone was together.

>'here is a legendary weapon stronger than anything, it's weaker than a weapon you buy in a shop right afterward'
That shit is the worst. This is why a game's story shouldn't focus around using a super weapon to defeat the big bad. The only time it ever works is if it's given to you at the start of the game, and upgrades as the story progresses. Kingdom Hearts and Xenoblade Chronicles are the only ones I can remember doing it like that.

>inb4 KH3 gives you the X-blade in the middle of the game and it's shittier than generic frying pan keyblade later on

Stop confusing gameplay with story. Some things you just have to ignore due to the nature of video games.

Again there was no suspense built or plot developed. It tries too hard to make it matter, using 1-sided stalking, acting like she might be the talking before the marluxia reveal, forcing marluxia to be the obvious suspect like a pup named scooby doo villain. This is like a child coming up with a plot of 'the person dies, oh and they were important somehow, and this guy walks away wiping blood from his hands but I'm not saying whose blood it is.'

I cannot think of a worse way to force this story than what happened.

>acting like she might be the talking before the marluxia reveal
Nigga what the fuck are you talking about, we all saw her die on-screen

There is no reason why it can't be done aside from a lack of forethought. Have the ultimate weapon break or be lost or drained of power before shoving in more powerful weapons. Have the ultimate weapon be upgraded as you go, or have it be objectively the best weapon but balance it with something like slowing you down or hurting you while using. Hell if plenty of games can have fine combat mechanics and gameplay without having alternative weapons then it can easily be done with upgradable weapons as long as its not a linear progression.

Which is why it was retarded. Rewatch it, it's the only reason why they shoehorn in her supposedly being a union leader in and didn't immediately introduce the 5th Ava-boy on screen in the scene.

Guys should I pull for this banner? My only good medals are IXEX and copy Naminé.

As long as you have enough for mercy. Otherwise, your chances of grabbing one are very low

I have 15k at the moment, I'm still not sure what medals I need.

Tough call with global becoming like JP we can assume there will be more generous banners with extra mercies in the future. You may want to save.

>tfw no kiss the girl in kh3
feels bad man

Save for now then. Better to save up for a mercy than waste on potentially drawing a good medal.

If we never need to have fishy fun again it will be a sacrifice I am very willing to make.

...

>Which is why it was retarded.
You might be the retarded one, thinking that Lauriam started speaking off-screen as an attempt to make us think it was actually Strelitzia

Blaine and Ven did the same fucking thing

Heard someone was talking shit about my friends.

>your friends are fake and only like you for your lux gathering ability

who is your favorite? mine is keyblade wielder

How long left until D23?

The event begins 2AM EST, so about 19 hours...
