      Note to self, don't fall in the river while going through the tangled world.

      It is nice to see that footage from Back Story though, giving us a glimpse of what the scenes might be like. Wonder where that room was though

      Really cool to hear voices for the five Foretellers, and to see Daybreak Town in 3D! Makes me even more anxious for some news on Unchained χ coming west!

      Seeing Riku and Kairi's KHIII models in a video makes them look a little better, I gotta say, but there's something about the way Mickey, Donald, and Goofy (and Yen Sid, too, a little bit) are rendered that makes them look a little...soulless. I dunno. There's something off-putting there. But HOLY COW does the Mysterious Tower look gorgeous now!

      Little disappointing, to be honest. It didn't really show anything we already didn't know. Felt more like a reminder that this is a thing, if anything.

      Here is my personal reaction to it:





      I'd post a more in depth analysis but it's past my bedtime I'm going to save it for CI and the Podcast.

      I will say though I liked how Sora is reacting to his environment more, like falling into the river. Also that the Marluxia heartless intrigue and confuse me, since story wise I don't know why the heck anyone would bring Marluxia back, but at the same time the presence in the Tangled world made me think that he's going to have something to do with the plot there. I mean, flowers are kind of a theme there, right? But that's a theory for another day.

      Also, during Sora's fall from grace, I saw this:

      Well, did we ever get the nobodies that Marluxia was in charge of in the previous games? Because maybe those are just the ones he ran, like how Axel was in charge of the assassins, and Saix in charge of Berserkers
    6. Calxiyn

      YOU'RE RIGHT. It's unknown what Marluxia controls beside the dusks, and it's the same for Lexaeus, Vexen, Zexion, and Larxene! Just to make sure I looked on the Wiki and made sure that I wasn't reading it wrong, but in the first Paragraph of Xigbar's description it says he controls the Snipers, while the page for Marluxia and the others don't : O

      Edit: THAT MEANS HE HAS TO BE AROUND THOUGH RIGHT? BUT WHY? WHY? WHYYYY


      Edit two: I mean, if not around in the world he at LEAST has to be alive. But if he’s human or a somebody can he still control the nobodies? Does this all mean Marluxia never really DIED? WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?!

      Well, think about it. There's always nobodies even if the organization of Nobodies is gone, so that doesn't mean there can't be special Nobodies without anyone to control them. We still had Assassin Nobodies in TWTNW after Axel vanished, and Snipers as well. And for all we know, maybe Marluxia's Somebody came back because he ended up actually being one of the 13 Xehanorts. The guy was greedy and mischievous and got axed from the Organization, but that doesn't necessarily mean he was weak, and I'm betting he's bound to work with Xehanort if it means he gets what he wants.

      More immediately, the line about awakening Sora's heart was about waking him up from the sleep that Xehanort and company had put him under. But Yen Sid does say that going through the Sleeping Worlds should have given Riku the power to awaken slumbering hearts in general; that has to be a Ventus tie-in, especially since the KHIII press release from E3 2013 said that Mickey and Riku would be spending the game searching for the BbS trio.

      The location in the Back Cover preview is definitely Daybreak Town. The color scheme matches, and the clockwork on the walls is definitely similar to machinery seen in the game as the player approaches the Foretellers' base. Given that and the dialogue, I'm fairly certain that it's the study of at least one of the Foretellers.

      I'm definitely looking forward to some more Marluxia in KHIII, since he was an interesting antagonist in CoM. You have to wonder if Xehanort wants someone who tried to usurp him on his New Organization, but on the other hand, Xehanort is a powerful Keyblade Master, and seeing that initiative and ambition may have flagged him as a good candidate. Who knows? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Also, Marluxia *Nobodies :P

      What a weak ass trailer. We see Riku and Kairi and Mickey and Yensid in the new graphics, a sliver of gameplay....and that's about it.

      Also for some reason Cal I never expected you were blonde.

      At first, I felt there was something off in regards to the new models of Riku, Kairi, and Mickey. But when I rewatched the trailer in 720p, they looked much, much better. It certainly is amazing what difference resolution can make.

      Really glad to see that Sora will react to different environments.

      And Back Cover... still waiting on that "scheduled for 2015" Unchained X[chi] game Square...

      Admittedly underwhelming trailer, but the new graphics engine looks very sleek. I still think KH Triple-D remaster was a bit unnecessary and taking out the 3DS's original dual screen capabilities has basically stripped a good chunk of the gameplay experience, but I guess the updated textures and whatnot looks great, too. Somehow not really digging the Japanese voices for the Foretellers based on that chi[x] clip, hopefully the English ones are a bit more satisfactory. Here's hoping for a bundle pack release with a PS4~

      wow that new sky at Mysterious tower is just gorgeous :) And I love the shiny shotlike tyoe attack before Sora gets gently pushed while still standing, downriver. I'm still unsure about the new character look, they seem slightly too shiny, and a little but plastic looking to me, but the close up of Riku, especially his hair looked really good. The gameplay does look fun though, I just hope there aren't too many gimmick attacks because if there are I'll probably forget to use a bunch most of the time.

      Just occurred to me, but χ is gonna need to finish up its traitor plot quickly if they don't want Back Cover to spoil it.

      EDIT: Back Cover footage=Daybreak Town clock tower confirmed:

      This may be a spoiler but it's more of a theory:

      I know a lot of people are saying this Clock Tower is the same one in Twilight Town and they're right and wrong at the same time, sort of. Basically we clearly see this is in Daybreak down now, but I think that if the theory that Twilight Town and Daybreak Town are one in the same, that is where the Clock Tower would be, in Twilight Town's clocktower. Because of this it's possible that's why we're going BACK to Twilight town, in order to go to this hideout and get the books. I don't know enough about Chi to say why this is important lol, and hopefully I'll have insight when the game is released for NA.

      Also, @Beucefilous pointed out to me that twilight, at an earlier point in time, would have been 'daybreak'. Twilight is the "soft, diffused light" from the sky when the sun is below the horizon, from daybreak. Daylight first appears at daybreak, so if it is an earlier version of Twilight Town it would make sense, because the new Twilight Town is AFTER the fate of whatever happened to Daybreak Town.

      I also saw somewhere saying Daybreak is the dark part of twilight, and we see a difference between Twilight Town and Daybreak Town in terms of colour scheme. Daybreak town looks really dark there, and even in other pictures it uses darker colours, while Twilight Town is much 'softer' and lighter

      I just want Unchained X to come out (in Europe, preferably) so I can understand what the f*** is going on
