The Internet Reacts to Kingdom Hearts 4 Reveal (30 Reactions)

[@estaveler3288]

i like the idea of sora always having to fight a darkside because of the saying "the brighter the light the bigger the shadow it casts"

[@onlyacomentarynothingspeci2419]

Wow.... I kinda got goosebumps

Welp... that was a big fucking shadow indeed.

Ngl, when that red car drifted to a halt, I was half-expecting Sora to step out of the driver's seat.

[@shuruihageshiga4581]

Yo! Badass Sora! Nomura please make it happen!

[@tfvo86]

What blow my mind is that this trailer was running at Unreal Engine 4 (and look incredible) and Nomura said that KH4 full game will run Unreal Engine 5. Holy Sh!t

[@sinom]

UE5 doesn't actually inherently have a higher fidelity than UE4. You can make extremely high fidelity games in both it's just a lot easier in UE5 which is probably why they're moving to it.

Considering how FF like looks the game, I think it has sense.

[@_Glamor]

It really has the potential to happen. Ever since KH1 whenever they fought, they always end up somewhere else by the end of the clash. I wouldn't doubt that Nomura would write them ending up in Quadratum and finishing the fight there.

[@mori_san8206]

I'm currently watching every single KH movie (gods on KZbin take KH games at cut them to keep only the important gameplay passages and cutscenes so it makes hours long movies with all the lore in it). I watched the lets plays years ago but now I need to remember everything about the story. My road trip will be long but I promise I will know who the hell Strelitzia is XD

Kingdom Hearts lore sometimes be like going through the Star Wars Expanded Universe. "Wait, I gotta track down an out of print young readers novel series to get these stories? Oh boy."

[@josephtravis1032]

Funny that you mentioned Star Wars because from what the internet is pointing out in the trailer (case that nobody doesn't know) is that if you look closely to the whole forest area presented it looks identical to something from the forest of Endor from Return of the Jedi

[@soxar64]

@@josephtravis1032 it's not even that cause you can literally see, tucked in the top right corner in a blink it and you'll miss it moment, an actual AT-ST foot in that forest footage, specifically the close up on the river bed like if you don't know it's there you don't notice it but when you see it it's so unmistakably an AT-ST foot I'm actually wondering whether it's deliberate or they didn't realize it was there either and left it in by mistake

[@crimsonxero5924]

Fun Fact: This is still UE4. Imagine how the graphics will look once everything is converted over to UE5.

[@sinom]

This is still UE4. Both UE4 and UE5 games can look the same if you have a dev team put time and effort into it. The big thing about UE5 is that it makes it easier to make high fidelity games.

[@highulitma]

14:56 thats the funniest cut, i love it 😆

[@ami6785]

The biggest shock is that there was no big in between game for story. (There is maybe the mobile game, but this looks like something you could just jump right into from KH3

[@cloudshines812]

I would just love for them to make Kingdom Hearts 4 in a way that’s simplistic, special and new… Kinda like something I once loved over 15 years ago…

[@ami6785]

@@cloudshines812 I honestly never really found it too complex, it really only got to that point for me with Dream Drop Distance and A Fragmentary Passage. Sure the amount of games and all their connecting points can cause confusion (especially on first playthroughs when going in order), but most of the questions do end up getting answered, with the ones that aren’t will be answered soon in the upcoming game(s). It’s not a simple story, but it’s not something too complex once you have the pieces needed. (The main exception for me is it’s time travel aspect).

[@phantasosxgames8488]

@@ami6785 neither DDD or AFP are complex as way. DDD just reveals Xehanort made horcruxes and KH3 would need to make Sora destroy that. AFP is just the introdutory world of KH3 splinttered to be a pseudo-demo in a KH Collection , and it's story is about Aqua feeling weary in the Dark World. Even the time travel rules in DDD are merely a bunch of rules that Xehanort AND Sora broke from it in their own way , to make it look cooler how they broke said rules.

Final Fantasy XV used an in-house engine, the Luminous Engine (which, for the record, was supposed to be used for KH3 as well before the higher ups at Square Enix said "fuck it, you will move it to Unreal Engine 4" after two years of development). KH4 is planned to be for Unreal Engine 5; the trailer footage was made on UE4, but considering that UE5 is basically an updated UE4, migrating assets should be much easier this time
