It's officially a-leak-a-day season in 4chan, merry Christmas.

http://boards.4channel.org/v/thread/443870218/kingdom-hearts-3-prerelease-leak

Summary:
Riku and Roxas are both playable. Riku gets a visit to Dark Realm from 0.2 and this time we do the world revisits with Roxas instead of Sora. It seems to be limited to certain areas though.
Xion is back as the last Org member but it's another replica and not the real Xion, even though everyone acts as if she is the actual Xion, the leakers says he doesn't understood this at all lmao
Aqua is not norted, during the Riku visits she manages to scape sending Eraqus' keyblade away, and then ends up trapped inside Castle Oblivion because she doesn't have the keyblade lol
Terra-Xehanort is a decoy made by Namine and the actual Terra got back to the Lingering Will before the game starts. MX noticing something was up with Terranort is what made him nort Even and also get Xion as backup.
Roxas getting back to Sora during KH2 was Ansem The Wise's plan and he knew Roxas grew his own heart. By fusing with Sora willingly and not knowing they both had their own hearts and beings, Roxas heart returned to data Twilight Town because of his memories of summer vacation.
Cloud is the only FF character to make an appearance. No more Disney Worlds to be revealed. Olympus is the only Disney world with a proper revisit.
Chess Xehanort is the final boss. Scala is indeed the last world but it seems to be divided by two visits. The ending was not included in the game.

Well, that sounds different from those "rumors".

More yet, my guess might be actually a thing. By getting Even back, they're back to the replica business. If this turns out to be true, thats would explain the different silhouette. A new replica...maybe more, depending on how many back up plans Xenahort have.

All of that sounds pretty plausible. What pushes it into actually being believable for me is

whatever the fuck that Namine/Terra stuff is about, because incorporating a plot thread that was started at a Kingdom Hearts concert of all things is exactly the kind of weird left field pull I'd expect from Nomura.

From what (very) little I know of this franchise's ongoing narrative, I'd say that leak feels semi-legitimate based on how confounding it is.

Hard pass on that "leak" purely based on the stuff with the Black Box. Also no big twist with Luxu or the MoM, yeah nah.

I just can't wrap my head at

Namine of all characters being the one to fool MX with the Terranort stuff, she really earned that place on the boxart lol

(Even though it seems MX notices something is up and has a backup plan, a KH character trying to take one step ahead of Xehanort might be a first in this franchise)

The leak doesn't seem to mention data Riku at all, which makes me doubt it.

It also sounds too plausible of a plot - and I expect the opposite of plausible with KH.

The leak doesn't say why, nor does it say what it even does. Is it just a "kill everyone" button? If so why does it not explain why the MoM gave it to Luxu? You can't include the box then exclude Luxu and the MoM.
We know MoM is not in KH3 (Confirmed by Nomura) so i doubt Luxu will make an appearance

Maybe you missed it, but the leaker said that once Sora gets to Scala ad Caelum MX explains that the box was supposed to be kept by the original Organization founded by the lost master (my theory: Luxu is this particular master and the "original Organization" is a counterpart to the Dandelions, or his faction just like the other foretellers had one), along with the No Name keyblade.

The leak doesn't mention anything about the MoM, but if we go by the popular theory that he put his own heart inside the box in order to bring able to travel to the future (this plot point was also introduced recently in UX), I can see a cliffhanger reveal in which Sora opens the box and all of the trapped heroes get out... but he also is the one responsible to freeing the MoM's heart.

I wonder if they got back the sold copies and that's why we've had minimal leaks. I would have expected more by now.

Sounds about right for the finale. Disappointed they showed off so much before the game was released.

Yeah...
Lack of worlds and FF characters were my main concern. Gonna wait this one out.

Damn, I knew we wouldn't get too many FF characters other than the Dissidia cameos, but I'm a little disappointed it's only Cloud, oh well. I don't mind spoilers, I'll enjoy it nonetheless

I believe these leaks are real because Aqua gets nothing compelling to do in the narrative.

I love how slick the menu looks now. And the updated level up icon during gameplay is really nice.

Also Donald casts Aero and Sora can use it as a Flowmotion bounce pad. That is glorious!

Whew. Time to make some phone calls when I get home. Since this copy seems a bit more "legit" than the last, I bet copies are gonna be flooding some of my hook-ups in the next week or so.

From a quick glance, this extremely boring leak seems to be invalidated by the new one. Phew.

Someone ask about FF characters. And not really spoiler related but I thought this was too funny to not share:

Wow the menus look so different, I love that they changed it from the usual boring formula. Icons on the left look kinda odd, but it's hard to see in this footage. I wish the guy would just post the full opening lol

edit: nvm thought the icons were colored but they're not, and they even have notification signals apparently. REALLY digging it.

Damn. Poor Nomura. Kinda nuts this stuff got spoiled so early damn.

Also why people are using spoilers in an open spoiler thread? Thread is clearly labeled.

Oooh shit, Twitter dude from this morning was real? On Christmas of all days too, lol

Looks like keyblades still have stats, too. Wonder how that'll function given the expanded utility they have here.

The menu's visuals and the graphics are just GORGEOUS. I Just cant get enough.

But on the other side.. it seems like they didnt fixed the floaty combat, and as an critical player that loved FM+ combat that really worries me

Are you sure? I can't watch the vids yet. When I played at e3 I was a tad disappointed in the combat because there wasn't any gravity

Maybe they'll fix it in the day 1 patch...?

I remember they had a bunch of popular youtubers and speedrunners play the Toy Story Demo and the consensus between them all was that it felt floaty.

Hopefully SE listened.

I really hope so. air-to-ground combos are one of my favorite parts of KH1 and 2

imo the combos in the new footage look less floaty.
I just saw the video and agree. Still not enough gravity tho.
I miss when gravity was strong in pretty much all action games....

Watching the Toy Story world that the leaker posted himself playing It feels exactly the same. Sora Just stays a lot of time in midair, leaving himself extremely vulnerable, kinda gives me 0.2 vibes. I really hope Square pulls something like FFXV and release a major gamechanging patch, otherwise It feels the same..
