Maleficent went back in time when she was defeated in KH1. However, instead of going back in time in her world line she appeared in Enchanted Dominion in UX world line. In UX, she is currently trapped in that Enchanted Dominion by someone knows as 'the darkness' that fears her knowledge of the future. Combined with the secret reports which refer to a witch from the future, 'the darkness' is probably Luxu and Maleficent in future UX updates will use her knowledge of the future in her worldline to help the Dandelions cross back over. Though this could be a fake out.

I think that's the worst thing about Union X. I can pitch it to my friends that are super into the series and catching up on the plot (KHInsider has all the cutscenes from Union and Chi for the mainplot in one world) but if that didn't exist you'd have to tell them to playthrough hundreds of quests of a mobile game going through a ton of filler just to follow monthly updates, of which the English version is a few months behind so you're not up to date on story developments anyway.

It's a mess. Really hope they find somewhere else/some easier format to tell the story when it's done.

I guess the problem with it though, Nomura is just needed to add the significant story developments, I imagine for the mobile game, he isn't/wasn't focused on developing the mobile game's story and instead developing current/future console games, which I'd prefer honestly, the mobile game is just manipulative and p2w, and I agree the story is mostly filler, I guess their idea of including new worlds that haven't been in past KHs is the only point of interest, outside of the actual significant story which seems to come rarely.
It seems the JP version is beginning to focus on Marluxia/Larxene/Brain atm though, so hopefully stays significant for a while, and the idea of the addition of worlds new to KH in general sounds good for periods

The team working on UX shouldn't have to wait until the director makes up his mind over what the next step in the story is going to be. They should have a clear path ahead with an end goal in mind.

We've seen during interviews about UX how Nomura sometimes shows unfinished artwork for the game and placeholder "coats" over characters because the story is still undecided. I know there are more important projects developing under his direction, but when season 2 was greenlighted, the team should have had the entire story for season 2 ready at that point. None of this "let's wait until Nomura has time to give us the next chapter". That's why the game is moving at a glacial pace.

Yeah that sounds fair. I would hope the team have a solid story foundation to work off now, it seems that they're focusing on KH3 links now, (And already set them up in KH3).

Wait, I thought the secret ending was basically the Verum Rex world from the video game ad at the Toy Story world?
I thought Nomura got so pissed off about getting kicked off Versus XIII that he made it into a world in KH3 :'D

Off topic i guess.

So after i complected KH3 and somehow i saw my old copy of re:coded so i started playing it again and..... guys don't kill me but i find the combat better than KH3.
The end boss vs Dara Roxas is still great.


Somehow i find the Reunion between the BBS, 358/2, COM casts being too rush in KH3. Still great they have a happy ending for everyone (outside of Sora lol....).
All the built up emotions from the previous games can't be resolved in just the final 3-5 hours of the games , it will be better if they actually spread some of the actual plots development and some reunions in between worlds.

Is Frozen 2 the Disney movie that takes some influence to some part of their setting/story from Sámi people? I saw it in the Sámi focused Finnish news sometime last summer, I think, and it was a whole big deal when some representatives from Disney came to discuss the story of an upcoming film of theirs to make sure their interpretation has some level of authenticity/isn't totally insulting.

Honestly, when compared to two I felt like I was watching more than actually playing the game and this goes back to how easy the game is. Nothing really comes to KH1 difficulty, or even the spikes of KH2, and because of it you are just clearing mobs of enemies in seconds. More noticeable, if you are someone like me who doesn't care about side activities, like ship combat and sledding.

This is absolutely my biggest issue with the game. The PS2-era design choices of "rewarding" players for beating certain sections with a cutscene or two just kind of drove me mad. I played for about 14 hours and would just start looking at my phone whenever I beat a section. What made it even worse was that the majority of cutscenes seemingly had nothing to tell me. Or if there was some new information, it took at least twice as long to get to the point as it should have.

I gave the game multiple tries but today is officially the day where I give up and trade it in. I'm disappointed because I do care about the overall story. The game just wasn't engaging enough for me to want to get there myself. I'm grateful that this thread gave me the information I wanted without having to play more.

Elsa as a party member in Kingdom Hearts IV please!! She looked amazing in the trailer, and that training montage was awesome. It seems like there's going to be some other elemental person too? That would be cool to see in the game as well, however that'll turn out.

Secret Report indicates that the Five Dandellions have no capability to travel to the different worldline with their own abilities. ( They aren't Masters )

Luxu thinks they might have gotten some assistance from a 'sorcerer from the future cough Mali cough'

That's... Hmm. So Maleficent accidentally travelled to another worldline? Which is why she would be able to send the Union leaders to another one. Okay, interesting. I like that she's getting a larger role, to be honest. It at least keeps some of the Disney stuff (aside from Mickey et al) relevant to the overall story.

Oh, and I assumed the Union leaders were Keyblade Masters, but I guess they didn't really say that. See, all this stuff from Union [chi] is so interesting and makes me very excited for the future of the series!

I feel like they vetoed Elsa and Anna party members in KH3 just so they could unveil their actual combat prowess in Frozen 2.

Cause all of that would've been great to see in the world itself.

Yeah, the DLC expansions they've put out for World of Final Fantasy and FFXV were pretty much exactly in line with the type and volume of content that the old International FF re-releases used to have. I'd be shocked if any DLC expansion for the game wasn't in the mold of the Final Mixes.

That said, I wonder if they'd keep the tradition of changing all of the enemy colors for no real reason.

Eh, somewhat disagree regarding FFXV - its character episodes are pretty different from what we've seen with International versions in the past (the Royal Edition stuff, though, sure).

I'm reasonably certain that we're going to see Tangled and Frozen worlds come back again in future Kingdom Hearts games (since we've got the New Seven Hearts and all).

FWIW I wouldn't be surprised to see KH3 get character episodes (at the very least, one for Riku). It's the first Osaka Team game *without* major multiple-character-storyline stuff going on.

But my hope is to see whatever comes along more fully integrated into the core game than what we saw with FFXV's character episodes.

That beach in the intro made me think of Aqua and trying to escape the realm of darkness too. Nomura and the team usually get Disney movie previews (they selected Frozen before it released not knowing if it'd be popular or not) so I assume we'll get Frozen 2 whenever the next main installment comesout. Hopefully it's with less restrictions as KH3 was left with in the plot though.

Yeah there was like a years worth of no story updates, and I assume the Union X team couldn't do anything about it, then the new updates were apparently written by the KH3 writers, so hopefully it keepsup.

I think he said 2 more months of story updates (not including jan) and a new world in Union X that's implied to be Wreck it Ralph so yeah at least they should keep it interesting for a littlebit. Just hope we don't get another major drought again. We already know something went down with those five going by the KH3 reports, but we dunno what so yeah it's getting interesting again.

Started replaying some of the Keyblade Graveyard boss fights, and though I do want to have separate, more aggressive data versions of most of the Org., I think the Ansem/Xemnas/Young Xehanort fight is actually pretty good as is. It's the only of the battles in that world where the enemies are explicitly designed to work as a unit, as opposed to just throwing in three bosses for the hell of it. Honestly, the only thing I'd like for that aside from more health and tweaked AI is to get rid of Mickey and Riku for that fight.

Arguably KH3 has so many big AoE attacks you can get off that fighting against a well-integrated enemy *party* is more appropriate than fighting against a single enemy.

Am I alone in thinking this? Either they reboot the series with a new director and improve everything drastically or I want them to keep doing ridiculous storylines with twists within twists with added twists on top of twists, just because that's how I get entertainment out of the story, seeing just how dumb it gets and trying to keep up. An improvement in the series storytelling while still having poor dialogue and mostly bad writing could just make it more boring.

Edit: Not saying dialogue, pacing, and direction can't be improved!

I got the platinum last night. It was more work than I expected. And that boss within the tornado took me just shy of 14 minutes to beat. Was the hardest boss I fought in the game.

So the only thing I'm really confused on is what a worldline is exactly. I kept seeing different things on what it is. Is it an alternate timeline or an alternate universe with its own set of worlds and realm of light, dark and sleep or is is it a world like the disney worlds? ?

The Pirates of the Caribbean 3 ending is amusing in the context of Kingdom Hearts. Sora, Donald and Goofy definitley killed a ship full of people when they and the Flying Dutchman unloaded on the Admiral's ship.

We don't have a super clear answer on that yet. They visit some of the same Disney worlds in the Chi and Unchained worldlines, so presumably it's some sort of alternate universe but with... wider reaching implications?

Just finished the game, do people really think KH3's proud mode is that much easier than KH2's?

I feel like I had way more difficulty with the endgame kh3 bosses than I ever did in any moment in KH2's proud mode. Hell, there were even some disney areas that caused a minor challenge such as the gigas in toy story and the frozen boss.

None of this will even matter when critical mode is released, but I still find it interesting to hear people's opinion on the difficulty of kh3 when compared to kh2, when I can't even remember of a single instance in vanilla kh2 that actually required me to think.

After finishing the game, I went back to watch that Final Battle trailer which I avoided watching before release.

Seriously? Like, seriously? They spoilt almost the entire game in that trailer. I mean, I don't know why I'm surprised given they've done this with other games in the past, but this trailer takes it to a whole new level. You would've thought they learned their lesson by now.
