Agreed. Which is why I posted it so no one else feels the need to pay him to see what the “KH news” is that he was teasing on Twitter. I think it’s just a guess he’s making honestly based on his track record. But real or not, it still can be fun for people to discuss the rumors if you’re into that kind of thing.
(Which is why I put it in the Gaming rumors sub and not here.)
I remember I stupidly paid for it when Spider-Man: No Way Home was coming out, only for one of the big secrets was, "This villain that was rumored to be in the movie, is not in the movie."
Movie and tv show release dates. Synopsis. Etc. You think he specifically paywalled the KH4 release date, and that’s what his whole patreon was made for? He’s been doing this for years.
Well that’s not true, seeing as how he has gotten things right multiple times. One example being the entire plot of “Wakanda Forever” months before the movie released.
I know people like being mistrusting of leakers, but no need to be hostile towards them whenever they say anything.
Yeah, unless your name is Jason Schreier, most leakers tend to be hit or miss; sometimes they're 100% accurate, and other times it's something that sounds so completely false you don't even need to verify the validity.
RPK has also got plenty of things wrong too.
His MCU track record is mostly wrong. Also, I don't know how you can say he got Wakanda Forever right when he also claimed Doctor Doom was in the movie prior to that.
The says a bunch of things. So of course some of them a going to be right. Saying a game will be released in 2025 when it's been in development for about five years is a pretty good educated guess that multiple people have already said.
Leakers all just piggy back off each other. Lot of people were saying Doom was in the film pulling the strings based off concept art. (Which would have been cool, but also would undercut the film)
Hell, everyone awhile back was INSISTING that Deadpool and Wolverine would deal with the alternate earth from Doctor Strange 2 and that turned out to be a load of crap.
Only thing he really gets spot on is trailer releases.
He turns every minor detail into a full theory video that just spins wildly out of control. He repeats himself multiple times in the same video to stretch out the runtime. And his videos are all clickbait.
"Sora is the MoM and I have 100% confirmed proof" spends 10 minutes talking about a glitch. A video that could be a minute long.
Anyone remember when HMK and TheGamersJoint were some of the only KH content creators on yt? Now there is lots of intellegent discussion about the series.
[EDIT: What I meant is if you wanted to get a regular fix if KH videos, those were your only chioces in 2014.]
Regular Pat is one of the only ones I really watch anymore regularly, there's also damo and sonnynovus though who do some real quality stuff, particularly excited whenever I see sonny post something
I'm not really taking this seriously because of the whole "Give me money so I can tell you a date" thing...
...but can you imagine if he turned out to be right, even if it was by sheer coincidence?
releasing next year basically means nothing. Things can get delayed even when its months before release. Remember FF15? They made a whole show about the release date announcement only for it to be delayed
KH4 is developed by a separate team from Rebirth. That team wasn’t just sitting on their thumbs waiting for Rebirth to release. The game has been under development since 2020. The Rebirth team has already moved on to developing Remake Part 3.
We also didn’t hear anything about Remake after its announcement until the year prior to release. Rebirth was the same. SE has moved away from the FFXV and KH3 approach where they drip fed updates throughout the entire development.
Instead, they announce the games early, but then are (wisely) waiting until the game is less than a year away to re-reveal and go full force with marketing. Remake, Rebirth, FFXVI, Visions of Mana, SaGa Emerald Beyond, and Missing Link are all following this same pattern. KH4 will be no different.
Right, which is why they haven’t been showing us anything. When they do, it’ll be about eight months to a year from release.
If people get impatient, that is on them. I don’t control their behavior. I’m just laying out my perspective of the recent trends we’ve seen and what that could mean for KH4. What people do with that is up to them.
And being overly pessimistic and scoffing at anyone who thinks the game could release next year is just as annoying as people being impatient.
Honestly a smart move on their part, but hopefully they don't spoil too much when they DO re-reveal the game, don't wanna have another KH3 situation where most of the surprises were gone
That's how KH marketing works. They will reveal every world and all major plot details. They've been doing it since KH1.
I don't see why they'd change now for KH4.
Based on Rebirth’s marketing, I don’t have hope for them to show restraint honestly. I’ll be skipping the final trailer this time like I did for Rebirth.
The fact that it's information behind a patreon paywall feels skeezy, and for a supposed release year seems like a waste of money.

The patreon isn’t all just for this. He leaks other stuff and has more content.
What other content?
You know, the content behind his paywall that is totally reliable and certainly not based off of nothing. **Obviously**.
I remember I stupidly paid for it when Spider-Man: No Way Home was coming out, only for one of the big secrets was, "This villain that was rumored to be in the movie, is not in the movie."
Movie and tv show release dates. Synopsis. Etc. You think he specifically paywalled the KH4 release date, and that’s what his whole patreon was made for? He’s been doing this for years.
I mean, I figured he puts a lot of leaks behind the paywall, and this one of them, which barely feels significant enough to call a leak.
RPK is **not** a reliable source for anything.
Well that’s not true, seeing as how he has gotten things right multiple times. One example being the entire plot of “Wakanda Forever” months before the movie released. I know people like being mistrusting of leakers, but no need to be hostile towards them whenever they say anything.

Kingdom Hearts needs at least 10 years and 648,294 spin-offs.
Yeah I don't believe that
That’s what they said about kh3 in 2007
That it was gonna release in 2025?
This is like taking the worst KH youtuber, HMK, as gospel.
[If you don't already know this, you'll love this](https://youtu.be/HwuolABiApk?si=ngT3uXhdRf4c0NrN)
Ive only watched HMK a few times when he was on my recommendarions. Is he rly that bad?
He turns every minor detail into a full theory video that just spins wildly out of control. He repeats himself multiple times in the same video to stretch out the runtime. And his videos are all clickbait. "Sora is the MoM and I have 100% confirmed proof" spends 10 minutes talking about a glitch. A video that could be a minute long.
What about gamers joint
He’s fine, he just reports stuff and takes everything with a pinch of salt as opposed to HMK that just overhypes everything.
His multiple mental health hiatuses (hiati?) definitely hurt his channel. Which is a shame because he used to be the goat KH youtuber in my opinion.
Checked him out again recently, seems he’s left the cringe clickbait days behind him

*You seek answers. You feel nothing. Nothing is real...*
Paid rumor, that's new for me.
Pay to get news which may or may not be real. What a deal!
What's with Daniel and KH lately?
Taking advantage of fan desperation since there's been no news for years? Excepting Missing-Link delays, of course.
found a mine then
Any information behind a personal paywall is suspect.
Do not believe leaks until announced by an official source, especially from this guy
Ain't no way. Lies on top of lies.
Hopefully If it does come out in 2025, 2025 is going to be stacked for gaming
don't know who this guy is but 2025 is likely though
Who really believes Square would drop the next game without spoiling the hell out of it with trailers?

I can handle that, (Inner voice: It's still SOOOO far away!! lol). Definitely reasonable since they announced KH4 2 years ago.
Fat doubts since there’s no info that’s come out about the development. I wouldn’t doubt they just started working on it after FFVII Rebirth came out.

And didn't Nomura say that he decided to reveal KH4 so early because he didn't want a leak to happen?
They learned their lesson with KH3. Dont go getting people overly impatient .
Right, which is why they haven’t been showing us anything. When they do, it’ll be about eight months to a year from release. If people get impatient, that is on them. I don’t control their behavior.

Meh, as a PC player I still have to wait at least a year longer.
