Kingdom Hearts 3's Re: Mind DLC extension has a completely new ending, which is crazy, you don't even have to be a "Kingdom Hearts" fan to understand the reason.
The main ending of Kingdom Hearts 3, which was released last year, performed well, with twists and turns in a neat narrative in two numbered entries in the series and 800 incidental products. It also raises some very interesting questions about the future of the Kingdom Hearts franchise. The new DLC extensions absorb some of these unresolved issues-frankly, these are some wonderful, puzzling things.
The rest of this article contains a complete introduction to Kingdom Hearts 3 and Kingdom Hearts 3 Re: Mind DLC. You have been warned. If you scroll through this Sora image while waving certain keys added in the DLC, it's on you.
Last February, I wrote an article about how the secret ending of Kingdom Hearts 3 "teased every possibility from ordinary to crazy". Honestly, I'm not quite sure if Re: Mind DLC will continue to use this thread, or if it will be saved in future games-the truth is that both are both and brought back the key characters from this mystery and confirmed Fan theory about his identity.
The problem is that when I talk about the character's identity, it has nothing to do with "Kingdom Hearts". To be honest, I like Kingdom Hearts very much, but I feel that the series has got lost in recent years; in the early games, the original story told an original story that almost ended all kinds of exciting and nostalgic Disney worlds Means, while KH3 focuses almost exclusively on its own unique narrative. In fact, in terms of the rhythm of the story, some aspects of Disney are almost tangible; the actual forward narrative momentum will stagnate in favor of the Disney movie magic for a few hours before returning to the topic of dumping at RPG Expo Japan.
Anyway, this is a difficult problem: The new character "Yozora" in Kingdom Hearts is essentially the protagonist of Noctis-Final Fantasy 15, unless he is not. Except he is. Hold tight, because it gets complicated.
"Final Fantasy 15" begins with "Final Fantasy and 13", a failed project announced and produced in 2006 by Kingdom Hearts boss Tetsuya Nomura. For various reasons, Versus couldn't blend together in any real way, and eventually the project was renamed and restarted as Final Fantasy 15. FF15 was eventually directed by another person, Hajime Tabata. Tabata faces an unpleasant task of creating a game that will live up to the years of showing off Versus on a tight schedule and budget. He provided this, but Nomura left the project shortly after the restart, but he never became dissatisfied with his dissatisfaction with the final product and the original idea.
Fast forward a few years and Kingdom Hearts seems happy to mention the cancellation of the Versus form. In the "Toy Story" world, a video game store is selling "Verum Rex," a fictional Square Enix game that is deliberately similar to the lens of the cancelled version of Versus / FF15. Nodding even provided a CG trailer for Verum Rex.
All of this seems to be a good illustration of a dead project, but then KH3's secret ending takes it a step further. Sora and Riku have found themselves in entertainment venues in Shibuya and Tokyo Metropolitan Areas-places that are a great inspiration for insomnia, which is a key part of the Versus 13 trailer. Riku is located in the shadow of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building-FF15 and Versus are insomniac castle buildings. Like he did, the music was written by Yoko Shimomura, who is the same woman behind the Versus 13 and 15 scores-hinting at "Somnus", the piano theme used in Versus' various trailers . If you're a loyal developer of Final Fantasy and have any knowledge of the last 10 to 15 years of FF development, then this is something to watch.
Anyway, Re: Mind DLC brought Yozora back to the ultimate superhard boss. This battle takes place on top of an iconic, realistic building, with the Tokyo skyline scattered behind you. Depending on whether you win or lose, there are two possible endings, but the final scene is always the same.
In the new CG scene, Yozora wakes up behind the car. The driver asked him to wake up and stir slowly. Fans of Eye Ad will immediately realize that this is a CG remake of the scene in the 2011 Versus 13 trailer, which is one of many concepts and scenes that have not entered FF15. But the conversation was different: What did Yuzola say to herself-Sora spoke in the first line of Kingdom Hearts, wondering if he was in the real world.
Like, what's going on? Crazy At the level of the story, obviously KH fans have questions. For example, Sora and Yozora are connected, but how to connect? In the world of Kingdom Hearts, Yozora is established as a video game character, but now he seems to have come to life-so, like Disney, is there a video game world in KH? However, for people like me who have hardly invested too much in the Kingdom Hearts story, and the meta-realistic significance of Nomura Tetsuya's disappointment with FF15, he tried to reproduce him in the safe space of Kingdom Hearts The original vision for that world.
Honestly, no one has any real ideas about what all this might mean or what could lead to it. But exciting thinking.
