Kingdom Hearts III - Insomnia Mod, Progress Update Trailer 

Thank you!

Imagine if he charged you guys money to play this mod 😂 He probably should The devs would

@@OrganizationXIII no

@@FrankieKnowhere why no? You do realize this is a lot of work right? Why should he let people who contributed nothing to this mod access it for free? Would square Enix give you guys dlc for free?

@@OrganizationXIII For one, because it'd be illegal lmao. Secondly, cause idgaf about KH, this is on my recommended.

Thanks :) What do you mean by "a whole mod centered around this world"? Because it sounds like what I'm doing but maybe I'm missing something.

@@Larxia I mean like the ffxv in general.

this is exactly what we needed in 2016, but square Enix wasn't trying to give this to us

@@Larxia I believe he means the whole world is a full on world, complete with story-bosses, and enemies, and treated as if the player was going there the first time.

I just see that as sora in yozora’s world

There was someone working on a Noctis model mod (character and weapon), so it could be a thing, but it just replaces Sora. Having it as an party member with you would be really cool

@@Larxia Fortunately other character mods have shown that entire animations can be imported as well, and these can apply to allies, so a full-on Noctis mod is feasible if nothing else.

@@vadandrumist1670 Maybe, it will have to be done by someone else though :p It's not something I'm familiar with or want to spend my time on, I prefer to focus on environment and such

SquareEnix really messed up by not having more Final Fantasty inclusion. The best they could come up with is some DLC that featured some characters. Lame. This would have been perfect as a new world

@@RaikaSTi Even worse than "the best they could do", they specifically avoided including FF characters. Especially a shame for worlds who's companions aren't even around half the time. I could easily have seen FF5's Faris fitting into PoC for example.

I so glad people haven't forgotten FFV13 😢

@@Lex_Nocturna we never forget about them, because us are still mad that Square decided to go for FFXV instead of versus XIII

Ahah, thank you :) Glad you liked it!

Thing is that may not even be wrong. Kingdom Hearts is no stranger to FF as we know, so having Verum Rex connect to FFXV in some way is entirely plausible especially with the reigning theory of Yozora being Noctis's Nobody.

​@@zichithefox4781 never heard the theoey of him being. Nobody but if thats true, when was he created, when noctis went to bed?

@@lomasharripersad1233 More likely then not, it happened when Noctis traveled to the afterlife to fight Ardyn.

@@zichithefox4781 ooh i never actually finished the game. Stopped at the start of the ruined city becuz they said they were cancelling DLCs so i was like whats the point in finishing an u finished story

@@zichithefox4781 The idea that his nobody lived out a parallel to Versus XIII would be pretty interesting, not gonna lie.

Overhaul of San

New world, nothing related to San Fransokyo

@@Larxia The entire scope of the game resembles San Fran.. 🗿

​@@kaizoku8087 ??? What are you even saying anymore lol.

@@TDakaNuigoFtrmarket What I fucking said. Learn to read

That's impossible, a KH game can't be a KH game without Disney

Has Verum Rex been confirmed to be an actual game in development?

Kh is just bleach with hearts replacing souls 😅

Early gameplay of XV showed a segment of Noctis fighting around Insomnia. I suspect they have a lot of fully rendered areas in Insomnia but not explorable in the released version. The best you can do is to explore the city after its ruin in Royal Edition, or Ardyn's DLC.

I'm pretty sure you get that impression because of the fast movements of the characters in kingdom hearts, and the distance of the camera from the character, rather than the size of the models. Here is the same place in both FF XV and KH, if anything Sora is actually smaller than Noctis, but the camera makes you see a lot more at once, making it potentially feel smaller. imgur.com/a/gE0elcI If the models were smaller, it would look really weird and wouldn't really fix it.

LOL...XV is your favourite FF game. 😂

@@Larxia IDK, maybe it's the clothes, or the FF models being more realistically proprotioned I guess.

@@Enixgeek Are you sure it's not just the camera? When looking at the screenshots I posted.

@@GilgaMax305 is my fav game. Let people enjoy a game. Just because you doesn’t mean you can hate on other peoples game taste

It's true that KH3 mostly felt like a filler. I still really enjoyed it and had ton of fun, and I love the world of Tangled as a fan of that franchise, but yes, there was a heavy filler vibe. I always wished KH had some FF worlds too, and I was sad by the lack of FF content in KH3. With this mod I want to try to bring more FF to KH3, and also finally let people explore Insomnia before it's destroyed, something we could sadly never do in the original.

Thank you very much

I think the Remind version of it is pretty good, it's was decently sized, more than I expected given the little you do in it actually. I just wish there was more to do inside of it to make a better use of that area, and even if it makes sense it's empty, I wish it was filled with life, npcs etc, to make it a more enjoyable place to revisit.

That's among the things I want to do yes.

Wait what? Was something leaked? Or are you joking about the video?

@@TacoLex I am just joking around and giving a compliment to the amazing talent and the time and dedication that this person has put into the mod also a bit of a joke because this is something that were most likely going to see sora go through as he does his journey through unreality so no there has been no actual lead it's just me jokingly giving a compliment to the creator of the mod

@@kevinrebeiro1155 Thank you very much!

@@Larxia you are very much welcome

@@Larxia I expect Kingdom Hearts 4 quadratum level to feel something exactly like this afterall quadratum at yozora is supposed to be the original noctis

What's insomnia?

@@Mono_Entertainment the city in the mod

@@madssund2392 but people keep saying it's from somewhere?

@@Mono_Entertainment ahhh, It's from Final Fantasy 15, its a city that gets destroyed in the beggining

Thank you! I really hope so, it's one of the things I'd like to do for this mod, so it feels legit and included in the game in a natural way. I also want to add npcs and stuff to make it alive

Ahah :D I'm glad you like it! I wish they'd release the games on Steam though

I want to make it as open as possible, give players crazy freedom with all types of warps and such. That's why I reworked the top of the citadel a lot to make it good from a player perspective, so it can be an actual good looking playable area. However, most of Insomnia is low res background stuff, so not everything will be fully detailed, I will try to expand it in ways I can, but there will be a limit obviously. I'm not sure how I will handle the limits of the map for now, if I let everyone keep exploring everything despite it not being high res (but people might think the mod feel unfinished if I do that), or if I add actual barriers arround the polished playable area.

Thank you for your nice comment! I'm happy you enjoyed my FF XV videos too. FF XV / VS XIII is a really special thing to me, like many of us, and like you said, we can't really let go, it's a concept that kind of haunt us and stay with us forever lol. I've always been frustrated about Insomnia in particular. I really wouldn't have had a problem if FF XV was the same as it is now for the most part, if it included more Insomnia... I do like the game, but I really, really wish that there were one or two chapters before the actual current game, taking place in Insomnia before the invasion. Basically... Let us play the events of Kingsglaive inside the game, instead of it being a movie. Having a prologue chapter inside the city would have been amazing, it's what most of us wanted, we could have been more attached to it, and everything following in the actual game would have been a lot more impactful. We should have been able to get to know Insomnia and do some things in it, and then live and actually play the invasion, like in the trailers. After that would come the game we currently have. This would have been great and a lot of my issues with the game would be gone, not all of it, there are some flaws, but that "betrayed / we didn't get what was promised" feeling would be much less strong. I don't mind the whole not being that dark VS XIII atmosphere etc, I just wanted to play in the city that was teased for 10 years. For now I'm still working on the environment itself, I'm not sure what exactly I'm going to be able to include in the mod, but if anything, it will be a playground for people to make their own fun in, but hopefully I can add a few events interactive things and whatnot to make it engaging.

@@Larxia yeah, I really feel you. I fell in love with Nomura vision of the game. The city that never sleeps... The invasion, everything. Versus 13 to the altissia trailer that changes the name to 15 really show what I love about this game. I think after that it really just changed and sadly there was nothing to do about it. Tabata while I respect for managing such a dispirited team with a buggy engine and a lot of concepts that were never fully realized. He did good, ffxv one of my favorite games in a personal level it's like my comfort game. The brotherhood, camping and worldly travel of morning to night. Even with all of that I can't understand him. I think he butchered Nomura's vision. Which is why I still love to see insomnia being ported to kh3 like this. I mean we lost the main selling point and so many others. But insomnia was put into a movie and out of petty ness I have never bothered to watch it. Mind you, I've played the game for over 300 hours, pre order for Xbox one with all dlc. Then bought it again for ps4 and lastly for PC. So I can play a little with better performance. I've cried to the ending, loved the dlc. I remember counting days to release, watching trailers everyday, replaying the platinum demo a million times. That insomnia fight with the iron giant was literally bliss. We never got that in the original bc by the time we get there the city is over. Thank God for the Ardyn dlc and royal edition extra dungeon for giving us something. As much as I love this game, I'll always be haunted by it. I keep a picture of the duscae demo of noctis and the gang with me always as like a wallpaper, it's one of my favorite pictures of all time it's like a perfect capture of the vibe I love. To me this was like an awakening of what I really like and so it has stuck by me since middle school.

By picture I mean the official art where noctis is holding a mug with Ignis cooking, prompto holding a plate and gladio looking all poetic or whatever lmao. But that and the screenshots of the guys in insomnia from the versus 13 trailers. The feeling of "I wanna be there" will genuinely never be replaced by it

@@luluive We feel the same :) People who don't know this pain might not understand the whole meaning of this mod ahah :D I really think you should watch Kingsglaive though! I understand the frustration, clearly, but... It's still better than nothing, and the movie is actually good, and it lets you see a lot more of Insomnia. Think of it like watching some new amazing looking trailers of VS XIII / Old XV, except it's a full movie lenght and it's canon with the actual game. It's really worth a look for a XV fan, it's good.

Thank you very much, it's nice to hear. I think we are a lot like this, FF XV is really a love / hate relationship, we like the game but we are also really sad by all the missed opportunities and the things we never got from VS XIII... I have always been frustrated with the lack of Insomnia in FF XV, since it's what I wanted to see the most. This is why I'm doing this mod, to let people explore Insomnia before its destruction, with all the freedom.

@@Larxia you’re absolutely right, and not only the missing content from the game but this gives me a lot of feels from the ffxv amazing but random ass demo that it felt like nothing was used in the final product

@@MediumHeatGames The platinum demo? Yeah it was the ONLY time people could ever fight in the citadel during daylight...

I'm glad you're excited for it! :D Hopefully you won't be disappointed! There's still a lot of work so it's not going to be ready right now, but I'm doing all I can :)

I definitely agree, but since Yozora is there, I don't think that will happen

Thank you!

That would be amazing indeed, I have a lot of ideas on what I'd like related to this, but it's beyond my skills / knowledge so far, I'll try as much as I can but there won't be cutscenes and all.

I hope it will have a lot of freedom!

I will definitely finish it! Still working on it! There are other videos more recent than this video, the "Versus XIII Tribute trailer" video is my favorite one as I'm showing the vibe I want for it. It takes a long time but it's getting there.

Thank you!

Thanks :)

Definitely, that's why I'm doing this!

Hm I'm not sure what to say, I'm pretty happy with the current lighting. I'll obvsiouly still do changes to that by the time I finish the mod, but it doesn't feel washed out to me. You think it lacks contrast or something? The one thing I'm not very satisfied with visually for now is the sky which still need to be worked on.

@@Larxia yeah the contrast is quite low

@@Larxia I'd say it looks like a vibrancy issue because of Sora. Compare his hood to the red of the carpet for example, or his yellow to the road markings. Presuming this is default Sora model I'd recommend testing out Shibuya Sora model and see if it makes a difference. Additionally Caribbean has a washed-out look as well so if a shader is in anyway responsible for that then test that one too.
