Kingdom Hearts III

Hey everyone! It’s been a long time since our last update, but I’m confident in saying this one is worth the wait. After months of work, I’m happy to announce the Kingdom Hearts III cutscenes - without subtitles and Kingdom Key only - are now online! I’ve put more work into these cutscenes than I probably should have, so let me explain what makes them special.

Unfortunately KH3’s cutscenes run somewhat poorly: they have random frame stutters on a pretty regular basis. To counteract this, I recorded nearly every scene multiple times and edited together the best shots, so everything should be smooth as butter.

On top of that, I went the extra mile and timed my gameplay recordings so that the music loops and continues properly through different scenes. So for example if there’s a cutaway scene in the middle of a boss battle, the music will pick up right where it left off in the scene before, rather than having an awkward cut. Timing it just right was pretty tricky (can’t tell you how long I splashed around in that damn pond with Rapunzel waiting for the music to loop, only for her to run away at the last second), but the result is quite nice.

Now that I’m done patting myself on the back, feel free to download the Kingdom Hearts III Cutscenes. And as always, check out our Cutscene Archive for HD scenes from the entire series.

We are leaving the previously-recorded subtitled KH3 cutscenes up for those who need them, but note that the subtitle-free version is the definitive version, and will be the only one receiving updates of future content.

That’s it for now, but when something new comes out I’ll Re:Mind ya!

It is with great sadness we have to report that Rutger Hauer, who played the role of Master Xehanort in 'Kingdom Hearts III', has sadly passed away this past Friday in his home in the Netherlands after contracting a brief illness, with his funeral taking place today. Rutger Hauer was an acclaimed Dutch actor known for his roles in Blade Runner, Sin City, Batman Begins, and many other films. By taking up the mantle of being the English voice of Master Xehanort, Rutger Hauer had the near impossible task of trying to live up to the late Leonard Nimoy's legacy of voicing the main villain of the Dark Seeker Saga. Thankfully, he ended up giving a tremendous performance that did justice to the character of Master Xehanort in the villain's swan song.
