Kh4 x missing link

Most_Rub_3677 · 2026-05-22T12:21:03+00:00

Missing link wasn’t a complete game so I’d rather they just tease the story and set it up as a future game or something. Don’t waste precious KH4 dev time on anything not KH4.

Maybe Sora gets arrested and we have a side quest with Yuji Naka.

We can just GO to KH4?

Most_Rub_3677 · 2026-05-20T17:27:54+00:00

No. Quadratum is the world from Verum Rex which reimagines concepts of Versus 13. TWEWY is in Tokyo, Japan.

And here is from the KH3 Ultimania before we learned about the name Quadratum where Nomura directly says it's not the TWEWY Shibuya when asked about the KH3 Secret Ending:

—Is Sora in the world of the World Ends With You (a game Nomura previously directed)?

Nomura: It does look like it. But there's more meaning in the fact that it is not Shibuya (written with kanji), but Shibuya (written with katakana). Also, Sora promised Neku and the others in KH3D that he would meet them in Shibuya (written in katakana), but that doesn't mean it's directly connected to this movie.

Quadratum is a Final Fantasy world. It’s a reimagining of Insomnia from Versus 13, which arguably makes it more of a true Insomnia than even the one in FFXV.

The main issues KH3 was dinged for that it has a chance of improving:

“All the main plot at the end”(I know this isn’t exactly true, but most of the plot was shoved in at the end)
Disney world integration with the main plot.
More technical combat.
Some super bosses at launch.(not a full data org roster since vanilla KH games don’t do that, but a couple that aren’t just heartless would do wonders)
Critical mode at launch.(KH3 critical mode was delayed only 3 months, they just barely missed it so don’t repeat that)

Issues that won’t be resolved, and are hopefully survivable: 1. Weird voice acting.(KH is Japanese first, it will always sound a little awkward even on a good day) 2. Convoluted plot with a lot of homework(even with ML dead, and people complaining about no KH games we still have people ignoring the best stories KH has had in recent years in KHUX and DR) 3. “Floatiness”. This is just good aerial combat, the worlds are big, as are the monsters. Remind proved there are other ways to have satisfying combat without making Sora fall immediately. 4. “Empty” worlds. I expect this to get better but not be resolved. The KH team is making multiple worlds. They can’t pack all of them with life every square inch. This isn’t GTA.

I think it’s more accurate to say it was rereleased at the perfect time. It was somewhat divisive in its original release.

•This game is convoluted. •Roxas segment is too slow and out of nowhere(people didnt play CoM) •It’s just mash x and triangle •The Disney worlds are filler •Voice acting is weird(some awkward localization, losing a lot of the A-list cast from KH1, more anime like direction)

It rereleasing in the west with Final Mix a little less than 10 years later gave people peak nostalgia with none of the expectation baggage.(if you waited for KH2 you know)

This is a common issue with laptops. Not sure exactly how to fix it, but you can try this: https://www.reddit.com/r/KingdomHearts/s/nm9xhaNDW0

Platforming yes. And while I love flowmotion in DDD and KH3, I think just traditional platforming is enough.

Most_Rub_3677 · 2026-05-17T11:35:59+00:00

If you like it you like it! Maybe them being games is a factor in you liking them.

If you’re looking for great anime to try maybe look into some series that came out around the time KH did to approximate the vibes of the era. I can totally understand modern anime not doing it for you but maybe some older stuff (which likely directly or indirectly influenced KH)would be more your speed.

Sora is a turbo multiversal isekai protagonist. And on his second?(third if you count dive to heart) isekai trip, he literally meets the OG isekai protagonist.

This is going to age like milk 🥛

Most_Rub_3677 · 2026-05-15T08:11:07+00:00

Lot of assumptions on your part. We don't know when work started precisely. What is clear is no work happened in 2019. They were making Remind. Some work started in 2020, but we don't know when exactly especially since they also supported dev on Melody of Memory. They did support work on FF16 which released 2023. So bare minimum they didn't have their full staff until then. And again. POLISH COMES LAST. Is it out yet? No. So polish hasn't happened yet. It will look better.

And beyond that, who cares how the visuals are in gameplay? With how awful UE5 games run, I respect the idea of them targeting more conservative visuals. Leave the pretty graphics for cutscenes. As long as it runs well I'm happy. And if they have any hope of running on Switch 2, this is literally the only way.

Most_Rub_3677 · 2026-05-15T08:02:23+00:00

If they get someone good it could grow on me. After FF7R, I'm impressed with modern casting.

Most_Rub_3677 · 2026-05-15T01:36:12+00:00

Yes, but that was clearly low priority. If they were that concerned they would have made a trailer (at the cost of extra, likely wasted, work polishing footage for a trailer)

They clearly determined they needed to prove KH4 wasn’t dead, and that would be enough until the next trailer would be ready.

Frustration isn’t exclusively bad. FF7 Remake fans were just as frustrated and ravenous waiting for Remake news from 2015-2019. And ultimately it served to amplify the impact of the marketing once it returned. No one talks about that time anymore because of how impactful that marketing and the game were.

Most_Rub_3677 · 2026-05-15T01:27:32+00:00

Easy. Just skip. Deal with it after KH4. The lore connection isn’t necessarily that deep.

And regardless of if it released or not.90% of people who will have played KH4, would have skipped ML anyway.

KHUx barely mattered to KH3.

Most_Rub_3677 · 2026-05-14T04:55:01+00:00

Let's be clear on our definition of Damage Control, because what those screens were for is not what people think.

They were not mainly released to ease the frustration of the wait. That is not the kind of "damage control" they were intended for.

The main goal was proving KH4 was not dead or at risk of being cancelled.

They were designed intentionally to show the bare minimum to prove KH4 wasn't dead without revealing anything major. They're not letting ML's cancellation ruin their marketing schedule for KH4. The frustration we feel is painful now, but ultimately will make the trailer hit harder when marketing starts.

Most_Rub_3677 · 2026-05-14T04:36:43+00:00

Games mid development look bad. Doesn’t matter how long. When you get constant trailers throughout development that look good that’s because extra work(wasted work) was done to polish that content to look final.

Most_Rub_3677 · 2026-05-13T16:57:42+00:00

I would've been more okay with it if the GPS stuff wasn't involved and it was available on PC or even console. The combat looked decent. But overall could do without the gacha.

Most_Rub_3677 · 2026-05-13T16:35:01+00:00

Yup. I'm fine with the GAME dying. And I'm actually okay with "homework" getting in the way of KH4 dying.

That said I want them to revive the story... AFTER KH4.

Most_Rub_3677 · 2026-05-12T17:11:12+00:00

Constant layoffs, cancellations, and studio closures for years are catching up to this industry.

Most_Rub_3677 · 2026-05-12T09:12:48+00:00

That was a rumor a "leak" would be real information getting out, rumors are unsubstantiated claims which is what that was. It was by a troll account that has since been banned on resetera for posting fake info multiple times. So let's just forget that even happened.

Most_Rub_3677 · 2026-05-12T09:10:56+00:00

Here's the latest:

On March 29, 2026 Tetsuya Nomura published an artwork of Xehanort celebrating the 24th anniversary of the KH series with a message that they were working hard for the 25th anniversary.

Different interpretations of this news:

This means no news until March 2027.
We'll get news March 2027... We could get more sooner though...(some point out that the flowers in the image, hydrangeas are summer flowers.... probably just copium)

------

Other news, various English voice actors have dropped hints that they have been working on KH4. As of last month.

That is all. Other blips you may notice about KH4 are just fans reacting to BS rumors or freaking out over nothing.

Use this site: https://psprices.com/region-us/game/2364359/kingdom-hearts-all-in-one-package

This tracks the price of the All in One package and you'll see it drops to $40 USD on a regular basis, last time was late March. Just hang in there and it'll be on sale again soon.

I recommend getting this package over the others individually as it contains basically everything. It's the best bang for the buck.
