1) We don't know their goal with the project. Hell, there's just not a ton we know about the game. No idea when it's coming out.

2) It's an uber-late sequel. Kingdom Hearts targeted preteens and young teenagers, anyone who grew up with the KH games are way past the age of the target audience this time around, leaving only die-hard fans to hype the game. Aside from the old die-hard fans, all they really have left is the weeaboo culture.

Is it because it's not exclusive? So do you think it's better to hype random 10th grade cookie cutter homogenized weeaboo crap only because it's exclusive? Or even resort to hyping Godzilla?

My God, what is happening to this place!

I'm familiar with Kingdom Hearts actually, I played it a bit on PS2 and honestly it's the only game of this kind on home consoles I'm interested in. Mainly because it doesn't take itself seriously, something most weeaboo games have massive problems with because OH MY GOD YOU'RE TEARING ME APART LISA kind of dramatism. Moreover I absolutely love Disney characters and thirdly it has a hack n slash combat system. I can only enjoy turn based combat in Western strategy / RPG games or Japanese SRPGs but I haven't played any of those for a very long time and I've grown out of JRPGs altogether so Kingdom Hearts seem an appealing alternative.

Anyone on board the hype train?

I think I will ask for a reviewer's copy when it's out.

I'm excited, just not right now. The thing is that I know it's years out from an actual release. I know Square is really slow at releasing new games. Once it's close to release, believe me then I will be ecstatic, but until then, I will eagerly await news, but I'm not hyped yet as it's so far away.

I'm excited for KH III but it hard to get hyped when we have no release date or at least what year coming out. In all honestly most of my hype is consecrated at Persona 5 at the moment.

KHs is a mediocre franchise.

I personally think KH2 sucked.

No gameplay footage for starters

The latest trailer had to say "in development" at the end, because somehow that's the place we have come to with fucking SquareEnix they have to state the most obvious shit when showing their trailer, that a game is "In Development" lol you can't make their bullshit up.

Otherwise personally Kingdom Hearts is and always was lame series. The story is completely ridiculous and so fucking stupid, even in the realm of lolvideogamestories, and the gameplay? It's fucking triangle the video game. As a rpg there is nothing really to the stat based nature of the game, and as far as hitting with the key blade? It's lame and wildly inferior to so many beat-em ups of that era, and even modern ones. Even indie ones at this point.

So yeah in general: it's because people have barely anything to get hyped about besides the name of the game. Personally, because those games suck.

This is probably borne out of necessity due to fans freaking out when a game doesn't release as it was shown 3 years prior, e.g. BioShock Infinite, Dark Souls II, and The Witcher 3.

Can't speak for anyone else but I dislike Disney and don't want to play this, so wouldn't hype it.

Because KH has always been a pile of shit. Glad more people are finally coming around to this realization.

I recently tried to play the first one and it was indeed pretty shitty.

There is gameplay ... it was shown at E3...

But anyway, because its probably another 2-3 years off. just like FF7 remake.

WAAAAAAY overdue, teasers like iunno how many years old, and ppl grew out of Disney.

Milking the franchise via handheld games was a dumb idea.

Because its multiplat and cows are still butthurt

LOL

No because it we have almost nothing about it no idea when it will be released. It being multiplat won't stop me from the Collector's Edition day one.

I would much rather a previous exclusive go multiplat than the other way around.

Honestly the only redeeming quality Kingdom Hearts has for me is the Disney references, music, and the battle system can be fun at times.

Everything else is very meh.

Damn that was very poor grammar. I guess I was thinking faster than I can type. Now I can't edit it.

I feel like it does take itself quite seriously and hurts itself in the process.
