Kingdom Hearts III Dominates E3 Conversation on Social Media
- Thread starter Fusionterra
- Start date
I question the authenticity of these charts when The Last of Us 2, the most viewed game via Youtube views, is nowhere to be seen amongst the Most Discussed.
Kinda expected, KH had a gigantic pressence:
-Preview event a few days before E3
-New trailer in concert one day before E3
-Incredibly surprising appearance in the MS conference that caught people off guard
-Slightly different version of the Trailer in the SE conference
-Another trailer with a new [returning] world reveal on the Sony conference
There is a lot of buzz because they have been keeping it alive the entire event.

Is it mainly people discussing what they think they know about KH hearts based on what they played. But then someone else bringing up some other obscure reference nestled in the 3DS game or some limited novelization piece or something. Eventually culminating in the fact that nobody has any idea what the hell is going on.
Yes I'm salty. Why do the big Japanese developers always have like 15 tie in products on other platforms that then become integral to understanding the game.
Also that trailer was a hot mess. Yea there were cool moments and it looked bonkers. But cohesively it was a terrible showing. Nothing made any sense. It was just vignettes all over the place.

We're all going to get norted. Nomura wants us all to fall into darkness.
these type of posts RE: KH's story will never cease to amaze me.
"you mean I have to play GAMES to understand this video game franchise's lore? what the fuck is Square Enix thinking?"
They showed like 5 minutes of Anthem all of e3 and it was only at EA's conference.
It's had like 5 total previews as well from major gaming websites which is very low compared to the other big games of the year.
Everyone says the flying is really fun, but the impressions on the shooting are pretty mixed (ranging from "it's great!" to "it's OK") and Bioware has addressed none of the concerns that this will have a super limited amount of content without PvP. They did an interview where they refused to say if the game was longer than Mass Effect 3 and it's like... People are going to want to play this game for 100-200 hours, you need more than 30 hours of content here or everyone will finish the game, go to Division 2 and leave your game for dead.
It's really weird that The Last of Us 2 is not charted... I mean, there's a lot of discussion about it online, like a lot, even controversy...
Because it was boring.
Even people who were hyped on initial reveal are at the "I'm out, until this nonsense starts making sense" phase. The promotional material seems so self-indulgent, especially with the ending "stinger" of some random actress we're supposed to care about.
On the other hand, its really dope to see someone so unabashedly making a game for himself, first and foremost. It's refreshing to see someone who clearly cares more about if he likes it, rather than if the audience understands it.
It was Aqua. Frozen almost wasn't talked, even Nomura was surprised. lol
Trailer doesn't show a whole lot really. It still looks intriguing, but we have not a lot of context of who's who and what's what, and where's where.
Huh?
http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/aqua-got-norted
...What? So that's bad? Is this character basically dead now or something?
Some people blame it on the weird chronology and random ass names Square give the games, people pass on a lot of the games because they assume they are spinoff and think the "main line" games that matter are the numbered ones.
But of course, only hardcore fans realize that all games are main line games.
It just means she's possessed by the main antagonist. She can still probably be saved.
That's because everyone knew it was coming. Everyone. The only question was whether it would be an actual world or a singalong world.
"Obscure reference nestled in the 3ds game"
You mean the directly preceding title?
Aqua is the most popular character in the series and she's been treated like garbage for her entire time in the series. This is just the most extreme form of garbage she's had to go through.
Because it was a no news kind of reveal. People left with more questions than they had before. So went... Fuck it. Well wait to talk about it until they show what it actually is.
She's just possessed by the main bad guy, who has been possessing people the entire series. People just didnt see it coming or think it would happen to her.
She's a great character, not sure how she's treated like garbage?
People saw it coming but didn't want it to happen, she's suffered endlessly in the series.
Norted is just a shortened fan term of Xehanort, the main antagonist taking over someone elses body. You can see this by her now yellow eyes instead of her blue eyes. Xehanort does this for several reasons, to start another keyblade war and obtain the ultimate weapon, and to cheat death since he was very old in Birth by Sleep.
Yeah this is weird. Makes me think there's a problem with their report.
Like the person above you said. I don't even understand which ones were actually important to play. And that's on Square. It's their marketing teams job to make sense and present it properly. Also having multiple titles, exclusive at the time. To varying platforms. But thing in to the same plot, is just bonkers. I'd venture to guess most KH players are like me. Played the first, maybe the second (because hey KH2). Then got completely lost in Squares flow chart of insantiy lol.
Not surprising. Three trailers which were collectively the three best trailers for any game since the big Kingdom Hearts DDD trailer in 2012. "Mickey, you're too late" is already a massive pop cultural event going around on Twitter.
Kingdom Hearts III is going to be huge.
Who doesn't?
They heavily promoted it as being the follow up to Kingdom Hearts II at the time, and that it was going to lead straight into III. It's not on Square if you didn't get that.
And no, "most Kingdom Hearts fans" aren't in your position. Chain of Memories and 358/2 Days were massive games, that sold fairly close to II (at least in the US). Birth by Sleep basically equaled Kingdom Hearts 1 in Japan. And the remaster collections have all done extremely well.
There are some people who only played I and II, but most people have played the majority of the games.

I'm not really surprised, half of their social media presence is people making disgusting homophobic/sexist tweets/comments about the gay/feminist agenda or whatever, those posts most likely count as negative in their algorithm. Nobody should expect them to be anywhere near the "best received game" chart.. Any discussion around those two games is incredibly toxic right now.
I can't stand this. Just say she's evil or possessed. WTF! Just found out about this term a couple of days ago, because of E3.
You can play the whole series on PS4. What are you on about?
And for me, someone that actually played the games, the trailers made a whole lot of sense sorry.
There is no flowchart anymore though. There's two collections on PS4. There, you're done.
It's a sign that the story NEEDS to be incomprehensible. I won't settle for anything less,
Yeah...even if the reaction to TLOU2 was negative (#notmyellie lol), it not being even mentioned is suspect.
0.2 was kinda depressing, watched all her friends and teacher get fucked. I suppose you could argue she is has been generally handled iffy.
Side note: She is a good character EXCEPT her...lacking VA
