@@Lumber_jocks I hope it plays more like 2 than 3. But they added some stuff and the end of 3 that gives me better hope. I just want sora to be less floaty.
I really hope KH4 will bring out the dark atmosphere again. KH1 often times was VERY dark and haunting. I’m praying KH4 leans into that. KH3 was way too light hearted for what it was supposed to be in my opinion. The KH1 secret ending with Roxas is the vibe/mood I’m BEGGING for for this game
I think they could lean into that. KH 3 was probably so light hearted because a lot of the Dark Seeker saga games were actually genuinely tragic. I'd actually argue Dream Drop Distance and 3 are the only super light hearted games. I do agree 1 has a different feel though haunting is right which still makes it a unique and valid game to play to this day. BBS and 358/2 are more depressing and tragic if anything not necessarily haunting. I think 4 can go back to that mood with Quadratum being called an afterlife and them being in a new universe potentially that the characters know nothing about atm
Yeah that's why KH1 is my favorite game in the series, its great and creepy atmosphere, simple story, more complex world designs and a more grounded combat system are pretty unique compared to the rest of the series.
What do you mean only 2050? It will be 2060 once the entire game releases. We only get a half DLC before the next half is complete. XD but seriously I hope I’m not dead before this one comes out

@@jibanyanawesome8577 I’m not saying they didn’t care about it, it just wasn’t a top priority for them. They were focusing on other games and some of which were other kingdom hearts titles. They didn’t have a dedicated team working full time on the game, they were on and off. Yes they switched engines, but it’s funny because the switch came later and they decided to wait to start up the process of remaking the barebones of the game. You’re making it seem like they were consistently doing something with the game, they literally shelved it for another time. And that’s fine as long as you like to wait. But there’s no reason why you should think they’re working on kh4 every week.

No kh 3 had issues mostly because of ff 15 development. After kh3 major success. Disney and Square gave Nomura more of a budget. So instead of one team working on KH games rumor is he has 3 full teams working on kh games. Usually it takes 4 to 5 years for a major game too be developed. So my guess is holiday of 2023 or early 2024.

@@pizzaofdarkness4041 I wouldn’t say it was complete garbage, much of an overstatement. However the previous themes were definitely better, though my opinion might be biased cause of nostalgia
The way this game looks is already telling us the game has entered it's next gen phase. It's amazing how smooth everything looks compared to modern day Tokyo. I'm so excited to continue this story.
Never base your opinion of a Square game (specifically Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts titles) on the first trailer. Based on their track record, for better or worse the game will literally look or play *NOTHING* like this by the time it comes out.
@@dullahan_of_light6047 Yeah most likely, they've already been working on it and this time they have an entire library of assets and knowledge on how to work on unreal.
I'm so surprised, I never _never_ in my life thought the next numbered game would happen so soon with such fantastic graphics, I'll miss the stylised look that the kingdom hearts series has produced in the past but maybe this might be the best way forward if it means we get to see sora and the gang again Edit: since people seem to love reminding me like I don't know, here is the reply I made to an earlier comment. *Oh yeah you bet your arse they'll spend the next 5 years giving out a trailer per year before it get's delayed twice, the team working on it get's mixed about and when they do finally release the game it''ll be 2029, ten years since 3, with 4 other spin-off's using the old KH3 style with less polygons like Missing Link.* *I'm just suprised they actually anounced it, I hope they'll learn from their mistakes and not rush to anounce and release the game, I'd rather quality than speed.*

From first witnessing KH2 being played at a friend of a friend’s house, to getting KH as a gift from a family friend pastor, to over a decade of story and games, it’s a new beginning and starts with this
I feel like the story became so convoluted at this point that I'm not gonna question anything and just enjoy the ride. This trailer also confirms Disney owns the real world now, pretty accurate.
I mean we knew they were going down the FF route with KH4 (Quadratum, FF Versus 13 etc.) but damn I didn’t think they’d transform our boy Sora into a full-on FF character. It looks amazing, I can’t wait to see more 😍
I started playing KH1 when I was 9 and loved it. I’m 30 now and still keeping up with the story. Have the whole series for PS5. Looking forward to this one.
Same here ^^ First game made me cry. I just bought the collection for PC. Booted the game first time and "Dearly Beloved" in a remastered unlocked all feelings I had a child once again XD
I was 7 when I got and finished the first kingdom hearts ! 28 now…time flies. Didn’t like kh3 really but liked the fan service it provided and seeing all the characters reunite but I’m very excited for kh4:) kh3 seemed catered to children so I hope kh4 shows love towards its older and OG fans as well!
Bro, Sora running straight TOWARDS the danger hit so different with his new look. It's like he's a proper anime protagonist now~! I'm so hyped!!! AND HE'S ACTUALLY WEARING NORMAL SHOES, WHAT IS THIS BLASPHEMY!?!?
For thoses who have seen dark road, you can recall there is a moment in olympus where Hades says (you) as in someone approaching him. I believe the final scene of the trailler was meant to reference that because he will be important in the future (after all he is the lord of the dead)
@PiePierrot right? That was my first thought too. I dont know any other characters with the color dynamic and flames like him that are in this franchise
@@jeffcarroll1990shockafter Lightning kills God in Lightning Returns FFXIII she also goes to the real world and says that she's waiting for someone while looking at the sky, and KH4 is based around the lost story of Final Fantasy Versus 13
I remember when this was first released and the hype we all had seeing this and Sora gliding on the inside of the building, so looking forward to it's game release!
I’m 28 & thought this franchise died after 3. I feel like you guys have very low standards for games if you think this looks good lmao. Square Enix clearly hurting for money after all those flops of theirs recently.
You don't know wtf you are talking about. This world is the world of unreality and sora looks like this because of the environment. Wait for him to travel to other worlds and the game will be exactly like a kh game is. Nomura said it.
@@jman7481 yup another saga. Most likely a other trilogy. Which is why the reveal for kh4 was so quick to be announced. They probably worked halfway thru kh4 while finishing KH3. Probably so that us fans don’t wait as long as we did after kh2. They’re cooking up something good , I can’t wait for more kingdom hearts.
I actually like the look of this Sora. He looks normal! And really handsome. No longer a kid but grown up and developing. How his personality is...we'll see.
Uuuuh he just has now a different art style (FF looking character) ... he has the same age like KH3 so far! My guess? He just has this new art only in QUADRATUM! ... Might be possible at least! ... like Sora got his design in many other worlds, this is the one in Quadratum!
@@MiloKuroshiro Yes but they only advanced the story in little ways and filling in the gaps. The numbered titles are the ones that actually advance the story in major ways.
@@Webshooters1 I don't play KH but I like to look at game play but i agree. I think it's odd that they release games like that. It makes following the story confusing. I do wish they focused on working on the main story and just add proper side missions that add more substance, and make some mentions "to be continued" until the next major release to the game more substantial so they don't need to make so many little "sequels" it takes YEARS for them to release these games, I just think most of that time is spent on them reading previous scripts from all other games then trying to write a new story with as little plot holes or contradictions as possible, paired with the usual development time for something like this
You need to understand one thing. This trailer have sora doing some crazy parkour stuff. So my guess it won’t be on the final product and as much they wanna add that it won’t happen. More on that this game probably gonna take 5yr to finish due to all the stuff Nomura gonna try adding but can’t too much bugs.
So Sora's finally in the final fantasy arc, glad to see it. I feel like this will finally be where Kingdom hearts can finally become its own without having to worry about Disney trying to have full control of it. Plus a solo journey for Sora means harder game play possibly, which is awesome!
It's a bit personal this, but now i'm struggling with episodes of huge anxiety and stuff like that. However, that part of the theme makes me imagine this same scene, but instead of being afraid of all my "internal devils", I just ran towards them, facing them determinated. Sorry if i sound like a kid, but the trailer inspires me to it.
Same man. I remember playing KH1 back when I was in elementary school... its wild how much time as flown by and seeing this cracked story of a game evolve throughout the years!
Star Wars would totally fit in this game. Because of how the dark side is related to the heartless and darkness. I would love to see a lightsaber keyblade.
i can feel the developers are having the time of their lives with this one. KH is no longer just happening in the fantasy world, but in a city inspired by Japan. Cars, traffic light, people, phones mixed with shadows, keyblade, etc these developers are merging their reality and their imagination, i can tell theyre excited when making this one
Meh I prefer over gameplay and story over the next gen graphics… it’s all fun and games until they ruin it by focusing more on graphics like what they did with the third game.
@@legendaryviking281 yeah I mean it's gonna be kinda disappointing if that whole fight scene is basically done by "pressing triangle" again.. it's all well being flashy and cool to look at it, but hopefully it's actually engaging as well.
@@legendaryviking281 Well they definitely listened to a lot of the criticism in KH3, which is why they added combo extensions, critical mode, super bosses, ect. Definitely think at the very least they're going to continue to incorporate those things into this game at the beginning rather than through dlc. There's a lot more they can do gameplay wise, so hopefully they take some positive creative liberties.
I feel it’s so accurate having these people be more worried about taking a good photo of the random heartless that showed up out of nowhere than run away straight away.
That line at the end: "If you do leave this world, don't expect to return to the one from whence you came." I think this more or less confirms that Quadratum is but one world on this other side of reality. This could give Nomura the freedom to use stuff like Marvel and Star Wars and have it all make sense by saying they're worlds on the other side of reality.
@@IcyWind14 And what about the VERY next moment? The fungus growing on those trunks could also very well be from Endor, but is there chance we are also getting Pandora: The World of AVATAR? Sora, as a Na'vi? Donald and Goofy become creatures of Pandora? Anyone? lol I'm there already, lets GO Fox Properties
@@philatio1744 How so? The logic is sound. This IS a game series where you go around to various Disney worlds and such. Nomura is a huge Star Wars fan and has wanted to find a way to use it and Sora being in Unreality as we understand it could be the perfect way to use properties that were not originally Disney.
Though an early development stage footage, but already I'm liking how this is turning out. And those two go to Hades of all people for help? This journey has really made them crazy.
Well he is king of the Underworld, if anyone would know about death it's him, and if they are going for a more realistic take they could give him sort of a redemption arc
This is really well done, I'm looking forward to when the game is released. Hopefully Sora won't be the only playable character in the game, it'd be nice to play as either Riku or Ventus.
Well yeah but in the third game, you got to play as Riku sometimes. And you always get to play with different characters. So you did get to play as someone else. Not much. But you still got that little feeling of being someone else
Honestly, I don’t know what surprises me more. How freaking good QUADRATUM Sora looks (finally becoming the FF anime boy he was always meant to be) or the fact that we’re going straight to KH4 right after 3. No decimal sequels this time around? No 3.5 or 3.8 or 3.9. Rounding off straight to 4. Beautiful. But jokes aside. This game looks beyond fantastic and it’s not even the final graphics yet. This is still in development but already I’m psyched for this! This is coming for the PS5, right? PS5 and Xbox? Maybe even PC and Switch since KH in on PC and Switch now. Either way, a good time to be a KH fan!
Well there's no handhelds to split the games for and all consoles get the same version of a game now (or cloud in switch's case) Wouldn't be surprised if they only go for round numbers now unless they get some exclusivity deal or something but I doubt it
1. Not Switch, until KH4 comes out there will be a successor, 2. The mainline games never had decimal sequels, they were just collections of a few KH Games plus the main game
I kept screaming "Oh my gawd!" because of how beautiful this is! Sora fighting a kaiju Darkside Heartless, Strelitzia ending up in Quadratum, the gameplay, Sora looking realistic as hell, Donald and Goofy getting help from Hades to find Sora, THIS IS ART! Can't wait till Square Enix gets more information on KH4 today and later this year so we won't have to wait for so long like with KH3.
So im not the only one who already recognized that this guy can be only hades i mean its really obviously blue flames and then Red flames and the fact that sora did sacrifice himself in kingdom hearts 3.
1:51 - 2:00 is a small part, but it's just so cool, nomura's greatest strength is his direction when it comes to cinematics imo, always dramatic and badass
@@SeiyaTempest Almost. It's more like feeding pearls to the swine though. Nomura really needs to just present a script and let others actually lead, direct, and produce it. The guy has great ideas, but he has shown time and time again that he is not competent in getting them from his head to paper to the screen.
@@kyrolazioko4783 i like his character designs the best like check out that 0:49 drip -- i'm just willing to put up with whatever cringe comes along with it
@@braidena1633 I dunno. I feel like he's been in a creative funk for a long time now. Since Advent Children, 9/10 of the characters he designs are wearing mostly black. Sure, some of the outfits look cool, but color-wise, he seems to have hit a wall with creativity. I believe that the color scheme of characters influences the player's mood and attitude to a degree, and maybe that's part of the reason a lot of his creations feel dull even though they shouldn't. So yeah, all of Advent Children, Kingdom Hearts II and III even, Final Fantasy XV: all black clothes lol.
Is that Hades at the end? I thought the red to blue to red flames thing was his pastiche, but I wasn't sure (I also have no idea what Japanese Hades sounds like)
@@Muhammadwasapedo He did every game, Birth by sleep include. I thinks he's not in Hollywood's good books for a long time, so Hades in Kingdom Hearts is one of his most reliable income.
I love the art direction here. More serious. Hopefully they carry this them throughout the entire game. The transition from cut scene to gameplay was amazing.
@@tylerwalters2205 yeah, for sure the final product will be a little different. But since it's coming out on a powerful console, I'm sure it'll look close to it. I hope.
@@AspectLikesGames for some weird reason, those other worlds are what turned me off while playing KH3. I know that's literally the biggest draw of the game, but I just found myself not liking it as much.😅 Still managed to finish it though.
I mean, that transition was already there in KH3. Cutscene to gameplay flowed seamlessly. The only cutscenes that were distinguishable from gameplay were the enhanced cutscenes like at the end of the game.
This is so cool to me can’t wait, also keep in mind this is probably just one of many worlds sora will visit. I see people already starting to hate on his look which is crazy to me cause he looks 🔥🔥🔥
@@lastson5014 I hope so!!! Hope we finally get FF13 in KH4, would love to see Sora team up with Lightning. I could see them having such a Hope-Lightning dynamic like in FF13
Showing my age here but Sora looked more like a Final Fantasy character to me in KH1 than in this trailer For real though Sora was always essentially a Final Fantasy design and still is, just more like a modern FF character now than a PS1-PS2 era FF character
Sora"s new look isn't what I was expecting as I already miss the gloves. BUT I can tell Nomura took inspiration for Sora's new look from Rindo and Taiga Hashizume, hope to see more of this design and if Nomura decides to update it since the game is currently in concept I can't wait to see it. The fact Sora fully looks like he belongs in the Final Fantasy universe means my dreams are complete now I just hope he one day makes it to Dissidia somehow as there's fans wanting him to fight with other FF Heroes and villains. Also the fact the MoMs said Sora can just leave Quadratum for another implies there's other worlds within Unreality Sora can go if he wanted as he has endless options
I believe that Hades being an important character because he is the key to traversing across alternate realities since he has been bringing characters from other realities :)
@@humangirl2122 whether its hades or not its still pretty genius to imply that it is him, he has that iconic blue hair and is known to show red fire when he's pissed. but if it's not him it makes for a great twist to subvert our expectations.
I've been with Kingdom Hearts since it came out back in 2002, experiencing the series along the way as a growing fan, to see how far it's come, the story it's built up, it's impressive.

@@danielsmithiv1279 it will always be popular to the pop that is weak and anti social and now talks like 1990s black guys while still being completely afraid of black guys because they don't know any and loves bating to anime
I grew up on this game throughout the years from being 8 years old and getting KH1 on my birthday, to getting kh2 for Christmas, and purchasing KH3 as a grown man a few years ago. Of course, I've played everything in between too but it has been such an incredible journey.
Technically speaking, some games, even during gameplay; not just cutscenes, have already surpassed the graphics of that movie -- which is also rendered in only 1080 by the way.
It makes sense that they’ve entered the real world. It is, after all, the latest property owned by Disney.

Never base your opinion of a Square game (specifically Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts titles) on the first trailer. Based on their track record, for better or worse the game will literally look or play *NOTHING* like this by the time it comes out.

Incredible how far this series has come and I can’t wait to see where it goes
For thoses who have seen dark road, you can recall there is a moment in olympus where Hades says (you) as in someone approaching him. I believe the final scene of the trailler was meant to reference that because he will be important in the future (after all he is the lord of the dead)
Not a lord, a god. Donald and Goofy had no idea where their friend went and concluded that only a God could help them.
Yeah I was thinking it was Hades too because of the blue flames then turning red.

@@Webshooters1 I don't play KH but I like to look at game play but i agree. I think it's odd that they release games like that. It makes following the story confusing. I do wish they focused on working on the main story and just add proper side missions that add more substance, and make some mentions "to be continued" until the next major release to the game more substantial so they don't need to make so many little "sequels" it takes YEARS for them to release these games, I just think most of that time is spent on them reading previous scripts from all other games then trying to write a new story with as little plot holes or contradictions as possible, paired with the usual development time for something like this
You need to understand one thing. This trailer have sora doing some crazy parkour stuff. So my guess it won’t be on the final product and as much they wanna add that it won’t happen.

Star Wars would totally fit in this game. Because of how the dark side is related to the heartless and darkness. I would love to see a lightsaber keyblade.

There's a lot more they can do gameplay wise, so hopefully they take some positive creative liberties.

gta npcs in a nutshell
That line at the end: "If you do leave this world, don't expect to return to the one from whence you came."
I think this more or less confirms that Quadratum is but one world on this other side of reality. This could give Nomura the freedom to use stuff like Marvel and Star Wars and have it all make sense by saying they're worlds on the other side of reality.

Sora"s new look isn't what I was expecting as I already miss the gloves. BUT I can tell Nomura took inspiration for Sora's new look from Rindo and Taiga Hashizume, hope to see more of this design and if Nomura decides to update it since the game is currently in concept I can't wait to see it.
The fact Sora fully looks like he belongs in the Final Fantasy universe means my dreams are complete now I just hope he one day makes it to Dissidia somehow as there's fans wanting him to fight with other FF Heroes and villains.
Also the fact the MoMs said Sora can just leave Quadratum for another implies there's other worlds within Unreality Sora can go if he wanted as he has endless options
The first conversation is him arriving to the world 7 days ago. It's clearly a world change like all the other games
The gloves were always cool
At least he doesn’t have gigantic clown shoes anymore
@@BountyRogueCinemax Still I hope the concept is updated as this new look will take getting used to
yeah the forest is endor, there’s an at-st foot
I believe that Hades being an important character because he is the key to traversing across alternate realities since he has been bringing characters from other realities :)
Never going to happen. Just because the villain has Blue fire it doesn't mean It's Hades.
I recognize the voice belonging to Hades (me) @@humangirl2122
@@humangirl2122 whether its hades or not its still pretty genius to imply that it is him, he has that iconic blue hair and is known to show red fire when he's pissed. but if it's not him it makes for a great twist to subvert our expectations.
Which means James Woods will have a hell of a time in the recording studio.
I've been with Kingdom Hearts since it came out back in 2002, experiencing the series along the way as a growing fan, to see how far it's come, the story it's built up, it's impressive.
This looks so dope
yoooo my boy is a KH fan? bet.
This looks like traaassshhh
@@pacifiedbeaumonte Why does this have only 600,000 plus views? I thought it would be around 10,000,000 plus or something. Is Kingdom Hearts still a popular game or what?
@@danielsmithiv1279 it will always be popular to the pop that is weak and anti social and now talks like 1990s black guys while still being completely afraid of black guys because they don't know any and loves bating to anime
@@pacifiedbeaumonteUm...what?!!!! LOL
I grew up on this game throughout the years from being 8 years old and getting KH1 on my birthday, to getting kh2 for Christmas, and purchasing KH3 as a grown man a few years ago. Of course, I've played everything in between too but it has been such an incredible journey.
0:37 wait is that the foot of an AT-ST from Star Wars!?!??!?
In the top right corner
We’ve hit the new age for Kingdom Hearts and it looks amazing! Surprised we’re seeing Sora so soon though but I’ll take it!
I was scared we wouldn’t see him!!!! Thank GOD 🙌🏼😭😍
'So' soon? Or do you mean 'too soon.' I'm gonna with 'too' soon just like the reveal for KHIII was too soon.
we've reached a point where games finally look like Advent Children.
We made it, fellas
Yessir.
I thought it was impossible back then
Advent Children = my nostalgia, so I love to see it and I’m glad I’m alive to see it.
FFVIIR already looked better than AC.
Technically speaking, some games, even during gameplay; not just cutscenes, have already surpassed the graphics of that movie -- which is also rendered in only 1080 by the way.
I can’t believe it’s been only a year since this trailer, feels like forever
Prepare to wait 10 more
2033 can't get here any sooner!
Confirmed: Sora has been wearing comically oversized shoes this whole time haha
I mean, his KH 1 attire was most likely comically large so he could stay dry when he played on the island.
@@reddodeado301 ok but that doesnt explain his oversized shoes..
This is the only comment that matters
