Being a Kingdom Hearts Fan in 2024

[@truebladeseeker]

You thought Kingdom Hearts 3 waiting period was bad, at least we have side games & HD remaster in between. Now we just have mobile gacha game that won't come out & EOS early.

TrueBladeSeeker has hinted that he's JustaPancake's new account. He supposedly wanted to branch out to more general gaming content instead of being overly focused on KH skits, since he ran out of ideas for them around the release of KH3.

Hearing people say they are happy for the “bread crumbs” sounds so sad out of context, even then it’s like wow.. being a KH fan is pain. Good thing all the big fans are people who actually have patience’s… I think. Even tho I’m not too big on KH I am interested to see where this next game goes and them improving stuff from previous mistakes and so on. I feel like at most there will be something shown later this year if lucky. Especially if it is gonna come around 2026, but then again it’s Square so ya know it’s tradition to delay. Anywho great in a nutshell vid as always ❤

[@KrimsonKattYT]

There might be a trailer at TGS this December. KH has historically been there a lot, mainly in the days of KH3 hype. If not that, the 2025 game awards.

[@shottypwningz4068]

Just a Pancake retires. Nomura follows

[@XMan2001X]

Here’s a thought: if they’re still cooking Kingdom Hearts IV and want us to be sated until it’s ready, how about they ACTUALLY release the Kingdom Hearts collections on Switch?

[@Powerman77775]

Switch can’t handle KH3 might be waiting till Switch 2

[@ignacioamolio7682]

​@@Powerman77775 Sounds logical enough

[@AlejandroRodriguez-cy8ee]

​@@Powerman77775no it can. Someone made a prototype for it with the switch capacities. It can run it, sadly there are areas in which the frames can get astronomically low (mainly places in which there are a lot more assets with physics interactions). Best they could do is reduce it the cap of maximum frames. In order for KH3 to run well on the switch. It will need an optimized version for the console like how Doom Eternal for the switch did (which runs pretty amazing) and Nier Automata

[@AlejandroRodriguez-cy8ee]

​@@Powerman77775 but that's a whole operation specifically for this and I'm pretty sure that's not what fans want right now (nor would sales be the same as the initial version on the ps4). BUT it is possible

[@Manganra7]

@@KrimsonKattYTIsn’t TGS next week?

[@luqhakim5711]

I remember when KH4 trailer dropped over 2 years ago. Sometimes i wonder if it was a good idea for them to shoot their shot too early back then. Making us wait this damn long. That and.. hearing that Nomura's in his 50s now is making me sad. Bro is getting old, no doubt he will retire soon and KH will end for good. I expected fully that the series ended with 3 but im amazed he still has it in him to make a 4. The 5 thing may just be a joke, but i dont mind if its not a second trilogy. Maybe by this point, the next arc wouldnt be as long as before, as long as the games itself are pretty beefy in content

[@TheKpa11]

Justapancake said it’d release in 2024………which can only mean one thing………

[@Ingisen]

That would be quite something Square needs a comeback win, so... Why not? They already released a mature rated game (FF 16), so an all-out, no restraints FF XIII Versus 13 *could* be the way to go

[@ultimaterecoil1136]

@@Ingisenyou see the problem with that is realistically you’d want people to be able to play 13 and 15 on the same console as versus 13 to know the characters. The best bet is releasing 13 trilogy on ps4 but porting ps3 stuff is notoriously difficult.

[@MMaDness21]

Bro let that stretch on for like 11+ years before square pulled the rug on him and somebody got in that actually finished the game. Aint happening.

[@shoujoblush3234]

@@ultimaterecoil1136 nah not really. Sure the Fabula Nova Crystallis in itself has the 13 trilogy and as much as I liked it and was hyped up to what 15 would become, I didn’t end up finishing 15. I think barely anyone played agito (type 0) and overall as a standalone title as long as it still has the basic ff terminology alongside 13 hints there and there, it wouldn’t be impossible.

[@TheKpa11]

Fans of something will “wait” for eternity. A year, 7, 13, 20. Even in death; then when the product is “good” they’ll boast about it And should the original creator be gone, the dreams of “what could have been” will live forever So Nomura retiring at that point will secure all his work forever, and whomever decides to pick it up will take all the bullets of it’s botched in any way that modern day botches things

[@koutsioj4762]

Honestly, I can wait. If it means that this series is treated with the love and care it deserves, and the finished procuct is really good, then I can wait patiently for however long it needs.

[@blackdressbess195]

After FF15 and KH3 the wait for every other Square game seems pretty tame in comparison. Games being released 3-4 years after their announcement is infinitely preferable to 6-9 year wait times. They've become ever so slightly better with the announcement to actual release date time gaps.

Having started rediscovering the older Final Fantasy titles and also seen that Nomura's been doing work for Square since Mystic Quest (possibly earlier), I am both okay waiting (because I have tons of games to play) and okay with Nomura retiring soon (since he's been working on Square titles since before I was even born).

Being heavily monetized as much as possible by Di$ney while Nomura has to play tug of war with the woke Disney craps while trying to come up with a good story to even set the stage for the game. Tough to cook when there are money crazed Disney executives breathing down his neck. Frozen/big hero 6/tangled world already showed this issue. Can we just erase these filth with the snap of a finger? Probably not, so it will just be a struggle until kh4 releases because of these particular individuals.
