1 I think the the problem with the gps is where they are getting their map data, niantic is getting it from google, does that dragon quest game work outside of Japan? 2 the change of the Kh franchise might be the change to go multiplatform on launch, because that is the change that we have seen, and that square has said before
On point 2: They made THAT decision a long time ago. This has to be something that happened between April 2022 and March 2023. Something that has changed the creative direction/process behind Kingdom Hearts. I know this is, simultaneously, a VERY cynical guess AND unusual behaviour for them, but: What if Disney has decided the Kingdom Hearts brand is more trouble than its worth and relinquished their stake of ownership?
I don't know if this means anything, but back in June, I noticed that in the "Kingdom Hearts mobile" playlist on the official KH YT channel, there was no Missing Link trailer that was there when it originally came out last year. (Of course, the trailer is still on the channel, just not in any playlist). I guess they did this so they could make a separate playlist for ML in the future, but it's still pretty weird.
I had a thought while watching this-- Maybe they're going all out for this mobile game, and depending on how the GPS and world aspect is liked by the players, perhaps KH4 will have an entire procedurally generated Japan, or maybe even be literally LINKED with the mobile game's gps features to use the generated maps
My guess is kh4 is releasing sooner than we think so the missing link devs are grinding to have a near full story so by the time we get kh4 any of the immediately kh4 relevant lore will be released
Very late, but: I don't want to say this is DEFINITELY what's happened but...what if Disney has relinquished their stake in Kingdom Hearts and Squeenix now has to negotiate rights property by property...? That would almost certainly require MASSIVE changes to how Kingdom Hearts works, up to and including the properties on display, going forward.
Nah that’s crazy I kinda of had the same theory there with the mystery event but at the same time the mystery event could have been a sales thing for kh remix versions I would check that out but I’m too lazy 😅
I really want to play kingdom hearts missing link really badly hopefully before I have to watch Fiona and cake 🍰, witch hat atelier and the apothecary diaries season 2
My favorite union x characters are Brain, Ephemer, Skuld, Ven, Lauriam, Elrena and Strelitzia I’ve added Freya, Nept, and Remus to my family I have a virtual cat simulator and I’ve named all of my virtual cats after kingdom hearts characters 🐈
Disney getting more involved would be either the best thing ever or the worst Anyway, I'm still excited for Missing Link, the game the is definitely still releasing this year...right?
Nah the real missing link is where is kh4 game trailer and updates lets be real majority of the kh fanbase dont care about mobile games like Japan Square Enix does hopefully will get some story and updates in kh4
@@MrCrackedGuyeven so if I wanted to hear about lore i could just look it up on TH-cam its also going the route of kh before it came to ps4 and ps5 and other platforms the kh series was all over the place on systems and now its another mobile game that most kh fans dont want to play sure there are some fans like yourself and others that may want to check it out thats fine but kh has mainly been on console although would be cool to see missing link come to consoles think that would generate more revenue for the game and square enix but mobile games arent as popular in America than they are in japan
@@davidordaz5251 (Gotta split this in 2 comments sorry) Technically you could look up all the lord of any game on TH-cam and never have to play another game again, but we’re here to enjoy the franchise of games as a whole. While I do agree with you, the early days of KH made it a hassle with spreading out all the content on different platforms to stay informed, I don’t think they’re continuing in that path. In fact, it’s the opposite as everyone has access to a phone this day in age which means everyone has access to KH. Which brings me to the next point, I think anyone who genuinely follows KH lore (not saying you don’t) will desperately be open to any form of media we can get so we can continue getting our questions answered and learning more, hence why I think most of the community is excited for missing link, contrary to your beliefs.
@@davidordaz5251 Lastly, at the end of the day SE is a business and will do anything to make more money, that’s why if this were on console, it’s a guarantee that this wouldn’t be anywhere near as profitable. If you look at one of the highest grossing games (not strictly mobile but game in general) PokemonGo is at the top of the list consistently. This why SE is taking a similar route to increase revenue. The most profitable games in the industry are mobiles games, albeit because of micro Transactions, but if this was a console title, you wouldn’t be able to monetize it the same way you could a mobile game. All in all I see where you’re coming from and hope you can come around and get a bit more excited for KHML and hope you end up enjoying it
I loved watching kingdom hearts union x cutscenes you can still buy the game and customize a character my character’s name is Star she’s got cream hair and kimono style outfits that I posted on Tik Tok and tumblr
Idk. It’s hard to be excited about this game when it’ll just end up getting axed like Union X. First time since 2002 I haven’t really been excited for a new game
Lol the mystery event. I solved it. The world of KH is real. Nomura went to visit to get some story board updates. Something big happened there. Had to change the direction of the game 😂. All jokes of course.
Lowkey while ML looks interesting I don't like mobile games and hope they scrapped it and convert it into an actual KH MMO which is obviously never gonna happen but I can dream
Eyo haha chill some mobile games are fun imo but anyway who knows,KH has been known to at least been experimented on with different ideas like that but maybe some were scrapped or yet to release but I be down to try a MMO or something new for sure but well see,I do want 4 or ML fr😎🤣need more information on them and btw doing well?

a part of me wishes it was just a traditional mmo or free to play multiplayer online game.
It's living up to its name, that's for sure.

VCast enjoyer? You're a man of culture...
Amazingly made video! I love it, Matt. :)
Something something first
Well, everyone will be here before missing link at least
I saw the first minute of this, and I knew it was about to go down!
10/10 intro/cold open
The JP page has a bit more info, but nothing in terms of a pre-registration and how to sign up.
Dec 31, 2024: "Sorry we are going to have to delay until 2025."
Dark road was so good. It was a strictly better evolution of chain of memories card mechanics
Nice video and wait is killing me lol i need something to do while at lunch at work
I can't wait for this video to be a year old and we still haven't gotten anything else
Kingdom Hearts: Missing Schedules
Well I guess you can say that it is a "missing link"
I hope we get a release date this weekend at d23❤
Should rename the game to Found Link when they release it.
Im p sure its because of the movie coming out
I love Nomura but Square needs a rule that stops developers from trying to put entire plots on mobile.

I wonder if they’re going to try and turn this into a web3 mobile game with the massive movement they’re getting right now, it would explain the delay
I really need to watch kingdom hearts dark road cutscenes too my favorite dark road characters are Sigrun, Hoder, Vala and Vidar
Kingdom Hearts Missing Link? More like Kingdom Hearts Missing and That’s it
Nah that’s crazy I kinda of had the same theory there with the mystery event but at the same time the mystery event could have been a sales thing for kh remix versions I would check that out but I’m too lazy 😅
I really want to play kingdom hearts missing link really badly hopefully before I have to watch Fiona and cake 🍰, witch hat atelier and the apothecary diaries season 2
All of the delays just mean that when ML actually releases, it’ll be FLAWLESS
My favorite union x characters are Brain, Ephemer, Skuld, Ven, Lauriam, Elrena and Strelitzia I’ve added Freya, Nept, and Remus to my family I have a virtual cat simulator and I’ve named all of my virtual cats after kingdom hearts characters 🐈

It’s lore heavy tho, so I think a lot of people do care in that regard

From what we know this will be more akin to a bbs or ddd then a unionX not mandatory but very important the next main title

Lol the mystery event. I solved it.
The world of KH is real. Nomura went to visit to get some story board updates.
Something big happened there.
Had to change the direction of the game 😂.
All jokes of course.
Missing link is actually missing its like one piece we have to find it 😂
For like, the 3rd or 4th time.
The Link is truly missing lol
Wait people use stuff other then android?
All they had to do was iust make a normal game. The gps stuff is stupid. Just make an online kh game for mobile AND console
All that struggle and wait for a game that will have meh gameplay, and where only the story/lore is anticipated. What a waste of money and time.
Mobile games more money then actual console ones.
I GLAD YOU SAID IT WAS A JOKE YOU LITTLE/jk
Ephemer is Sora and brain is Yozora
Lowkey while ML looks interesting I don't like mobile games and hope they scrapped it and convert it into an actual KH MMO which is obviously never gonna happen but I can dream
Eyo haha chill some mobile games are fun imo but anyway who knows,KH has been known to at least been experimented on with different ideas like that but maybe some were scrapped or yet to release but I be down to try a MMO or something new for sure but well see,I do want 4 or ML fr😎🤣need more information on them and btw doing well?
