/v/ - Video Games

Reminder that the only reason this series still makes money is because everybody was denied a conclusion to the series over and over again. This game is probably no exception.

This is honest to got the first truly honest, no hold barred, unbiased review of KH3 I've seen on youtube.

Everybody else is probably too damn scared to get ganked on by the entire KH community if they speak up.

>>16102303

Whoops

*honest to God

>>16102311

Holy shit I also just realized that its #2 on trending.

Will the truth Finally be revealed to the normalfags?

Will they finally see Nomura for the colossal fucking hack that he is?

>at this point the super rare and special key blade that sora got is something that at least half the KH OCs have

>doesn't matter it's not like anyone is paying attention to the story just looks at the pretty colors and clap when you see your favorite disney owned IPs

>>16102399

I don't understand why they didn't the have EVERYONE fighting at the same time the game runs on UE 4 there is no reason why the engine couldn't handle that, having 7 party members.

when it had you choose who to help the first time i thought it would matter with the story. like if you helped Micky riku would die but that was stupid on my end because they never let you have choice in these games.

>>16102286

Okay, I believe you.

>>16102286

If only Sakaguchi was still in Square, he was the tard-wrangler for Nomura's insane suggestions. Well, I'm waiting for that announcement of the Kingdom Hearts Musical for Tokyo Disneyland.

>>16102470

That Kingdom Hearts Musical will have exclusive story content related to the game like the Kingdom Hearts Concert.

>>16102513

>>No playable Roxas despite his return being the most anticipated event of the numbered games

You forgot that Roxas also gets to Dual-Wield while neither Sora nor the rest of the cast gets to.

>>16102515

What I don't understand is how the original Keyblade war was between "light" and "darkness" where we have now made it canon it was all of the Light Unions fighting other Light Unions. Unless there have already been 2 Keyblade Wars by the time of KH I>>No playable Roxas despite his return being the most anticipated event of the numbered games

>>16102311

the thing is he's not wrong, the game is full of fucking slowdowns and exposition and massive attack animations but the KHfags just say "NOOOO DUNKEY IS AN IDIOT BECAUSE HE DIDN'T PLAY THE OTHER 200 GAMES"

what drives me up the fucking wall about this is how heavily the story is leaning into that fucking LOOTBOX CELL PHONE GAME.

Sora even meets one of the dandelions from the fucking game before the ending.

>>16102515

I don't even feel like it's unreasonable to expect that this game could be a massive, chaotic fucking war. The games have been something of an escalation by nature, with entire worlds and reality itself at stake. It's a war that's been stewing for ages between the forces of Light and Dark, which was so insane last time that it shattered and segmented all the worlds into insane little bubbles that are barely held together by their own internal logic.

Instead, we got some shit with Sora faffing about, trying to remember shit that happened a dozen side games ago, then fighting a bunch of Organization 13 faggots, and then a wet fart of an ending.

>>16102575

Never properly explained, at best, Xehanort seems to just snipe certain one's before their heart reconnects with their body and just shoves his heart inside them. Why he did this to just some as opposed to all is never explained, but neither is fucking Xion so who the fuck cares.

>>16102576

And the worst part is they're probably going to bring back Sora for KH4. Instead of doing something better like making Roxas (or anyone that's not Sora) the main character. Hell, I'd really like Kairi to become the main character in the future. It'd be nice to play someone who's inexperienced with the keyblade instead of watching Nomura flounder for an excuse as to why Sora(or any of the previous playable characters) is level 1 again.

>"You were in a ipod lotus flower for a year so you're out of practice"

>"Xenahort stole your powers when you nearly got norted"

Just give us a new main character, damn it.

>>16102286

If you didn't realize the whole series is beyond saving by now then you are retarded. Why would you even buy KH3 in the first place?

>>16102583

During the encounter with Saix and Xion, Roxas mentioned something about their hearts traveling forward through time and entering replica bodies that just happened to be waiting for them upon arrival.

>>16102621

>I'd really like Kairi to become the main character in the future.

No. She's fucking useless as hell. Everything she did after KH1 was mostly superfluous.

What the fuck happened to the Mysterious Tower? It was supposed to be playable, but it's gone. You were also supposed to explore Scala ad Caelum back when it was called Cable Town, even find the chess set that Eraqus and Xehanort played with, but now that's been fucked with too.

>>16102621

>And the worst part is they're probably going to bring back Sora for KH4.

Already confirmed. Look at the secret ending.

>Hell, I'd really like Kairi to become the main character in the future.

But anon, that would involve making her not useless and turning her into an actual character with a personality and goals.

>>16102634

Wait a second, so the entire point of Xehanort's plan is to stick his heart into the vessels right? And he prepares replicas for this purepose yes? And we even get to see Repliku take evil Repliku's "heart" out, so my questions is

WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT OF BRINGING THE HEARTS OF NOT XEHANORT INTO THE REPLICA"S IF THE REPLICA"S ARE JUST GOING TO GET STUFFED WITH XEHANORT HEART ANYWAY?

Why not, I don't know, just make 13 fucking clones of yourself and forget the fucking nobodies.

>>16102621

Not gonna lie, but I fucking DESPISE Sora post-CoM. He went from being a mostly brave & gutsy dork of a hero to being a braindead asshole in KH2.

This escalated in DDD when the game made me think that Sora suffers from severe autism.

In KH3, Sora seems like he's both a braindead asshole AND has severe autism. I hate him so much that I wonder if Nomura personally fucked with his OC protagonist because of how he admitted that he doesn't Sora at all and personally identifies with Xehanort and the Seekers of Darkness more. He wanted his version of Sora to be Noctis in Versus XIII, but got fucked over by Square Enix higher ups when he was booted off the project before Tabata came on board to "finish" FFXV. Probably explains why his "Verum Rex" homage is also a symbolic middle finger to Square because Nomura will forever be asshurt over the fact that he never completed his dream project the way he initially intended.

>>16102682

I'm replaying KH2 on Critical to wash the taste of KH3 from my mouth and he's not nearly as bad as you're making him out to be. Having played 3D which turns him into a literally brainless mongoloid and III where he's as you described KH II Sora at least has fucking emotions that aren't "I'm so happy gosh aren't I just amazing?" He's angsty as fuck but that fucking works for the retarded kind of story KH II wanted to tell. Compare 3 where the story is super serious business but Sora can not fucking get his shit together.

Sora KH I is still the best voice acted of the bunch though

>>16102659

I…..don't know. I think it was just a way to recycle the OC villains all over again for the sake of fan service. Also, it may have to do with Vexen defecting from the Organization, and because he's apparently the only KH character in the series who knows how to make replicas aside from Xemnas (Xemnas just collects people's data while Vexen is the one who synthesizes replica bodies somehow), the Organization can't make new replicas aside from the new bodies to house the old Organization's hearts in + Evil Repliku.

WTF was the point of even bringing Demyx back at all if he was gonna defect anyway + WTF happened to the Lingering Will after he countered Terranort? He never shows up after that, and it's never explained or shown why.

At least Xion anon should be happy to know his waifu got a good ending. A shitty ending, but an ending where she exists.

>>16102697

She's there because we need a reason for Roxas to deus ex machina and save Sora

>>16102286

should have had a zootopia world tbh

>>16102774

Nope, you get the gay sounding heffalump instead.

>>16102774

>>16102781

No fucking Eeyore either.

There is so much disappointment with this game.

People waited eighteen years to see Sora and Kairi be together and fucking kiss at the end and Nomura is so gay and Square is so Jewish that they just can't let people have closure and think they can continue milking they shriveled decrepit teat that is this series. Fuck this gay fucking earth.

>>16102793

So mad I can't even type straight…

>>16102303

It has a theme, but it's very convoluted. It's just a metaphysical Good vs Evil/Heart vs Heartless. It's about spreading your friendship to everyone.

>>16102808

> It's just a metaphysical Good vs Evil/Heart vs Heartless. It's about spreading your friendship to everyone.

the same shit every shonen anime and JRPG has done over a thousand times, I dunno why KH gets a pass

>>16102805

If you have ultima then it doesn't even matter, your stats are probably so high that as long as you learn the pattern you'll never get hit.

>Dunkey

The soyboy is right twice a day

It should have ended with 2 honestly. That was the last time we had that good blend of Square and Disney while also having the most self-contained aspect of its story. The beginning is nearly intolerable, though and some other stuff is stupid but overall it was the best.

>>16102822

>>16102874

>and you're not given any means of defense in the air outside of glide and double jump

>>16102286

Disney is to blame for the direction of the franchise.

>final fantasy characters removed with the exception of moogles

>wanted the gameplay as simple as possible for a larger audience, a huge step down from 2

>pushed for the mobile facebook type game to be made

rumor has it that square might be making disney games that aren't kh now

>series has so much buildup to the conclusion that it's insane

>the conclusion is a letdown

Why does this keep happening in current decade?

>>16102903

Because you have expectations.

If you went into this game thinking it would be the long-awaited sequel to Kingdom Hearts 2 with 11 years of planning and development, you were already setting yourself up for failure. We've already had that, it was called Dream Drop Distance, and personally I hated that.

It might sound cynical to say "don't call a game good until after you've played it," but that's seriously the only way to stop yourself from getting hyped nowadays.

As for 3, pretty much all of the signs were there for what you were getting into with gameplay in 2.8 with how floaty it was, how OP magic was, how unfulfilling melee combat was due to not having any weight behind the attacks, and how the finishers and other situational commands broke the combo flow that 2 set up so brilliantly.

Only real thing that it wouldn't have prepped you for was a complete clusterfuck of a story. I remember yelling at my screen "You still need to free Roxas" when the gang stopped to eat fruit tarts in Twilight Town and go chop vegetables with Remy.

KH3 is fucking unfinished and an entire world was cut.

The endgame was supposed to play out like this:

>kairi gets killed at keyblade graveyard after you fight some of the lower organization members and the swarm of heartless and nobodies

>sora flips the fuck out and bootleg merlin + animu cat save his ass

>mash triangle 300 times to win

>xehanort opens kingdom hearts

>you follow him to The World that Never Was

>now it's a big gothic looking city with a clock that has 13 hours on it

< also, this is a doom counter

>every time you kill an org member the clock advances one hour

>they come at you depending on where in the city you go

>when the clock strikes 13 you have that fight with all the org members ganking you and xehanort fucks the city up

>xehanort casts some ebin spell that opens the real KH

>teleporting fucking everywhere

>you straight up kill him with the x-blade after he gives it to you, because that shit was a trap

>him and eraqus fuck off back to heaven

>scala ad caelum was the afterlife this whole time

scala ad caelum is also where sora was supposed to go when he "dies" and collect all the other parts of himself. he was also supposed to be able to talk to namine and roxas there. there were also supposed to be loads of NPCs that look like the niggers from the mobile game. they changed this because all the scenes of xehanort playing chess take place in the afterlife and sora was supposed to walk into that room and see the chess board set up for a new game, implying there hasn't been a game yet.

>>16102805

This is literally the easiest superboss in the history of the series, so much so that it shouldn't even qualify as one given how piss easy KH3 is in general.

>>16102940

>>mfw my most wanted game this year, kh3,

you set yourself up for heartbreak

>>16102928

Blame Nomura for adding his gay OC to be the real villains.

I do hope Kairi gets trained by Aqua to use magic before 4 because Kairi a shit at melee. I always believed if Kairi was to be a keyblade weilder then her strength will be magic, not melee. Shame because Kairi has a bretty decent keyblade with it's high critical hit rate.

>>16102903

And it's not even a definitive conclusion either, because Nomura and Square want this soulless mindfuck of a story to go on forever and ever long after Nomura dies.

/thread

Never understood why KH got so popular when the first game's finale with all its sequel hooks aleady made it clear that it was going to be the start of a giant franchise of spin-offs. Now you have an actual stand-alone story in a fucking musical and important plot points contained in a fucking mobage which get referred to multiple times in a mainline title. It's the perfect example of an overly sanitized, overly polished entertainment media IP designed to appeal to as many demographics as possible and thus grab as many shekels as possible while completely forgetting to actually be entertaining. Well I guess some anons still fell for it because despite its AAA status, the KH franchise was never really a thoroughly pozzed one, which is probably the only good thing about it.

KH2

>Instead of black smoke, we see Sora standing on a hill looking at a night sky. The dialogue over him is in a new voice: "A scattered dream that's like a far-off memory." 'A far-off memory' zooms to the camera to the top-left. We cut to a night sky, and 'A far-off memory' fits before "A scattered dream." The connection here is obviously to the dramatic irony from the dreams Roxas starts to have in the tutorial being birthed before the events of the game. "I want to line the pieces up - yours and mine." closes the monologue, and the music begins.

>The music is tranquil, and Kairi sits on a beach looking at a wayfinder charm.

>We cut to the trio sitting on the sub-island. A guitar plays a few notes, still tranquil Kairi and Riku respectively fade to the wind, and we're left with ambiance as Sora looks down

>He winds up and jumps, letting the rest of the island dissolve

>He lands at the foot of Hollow Bastion as the music kicks in. He slays some Heartless, and makes his way up some ice platforms before cutting to the room before the Final Keyhole, where he runs to try to wake an unconscious Kairi

>Sora turns and sees Riku's back. Riku turns to face him, holding his hand out with the same expression as the first opening. Sora runs to it similarly to the first opening, but readies his Keyblade.

>The two clash, and Riku backflips, then shatters into Ansem.

>Sora attacks Ansem, then we see Kingdom Hearts opening, and light pouring in over Ansem, with Riku talking afterwards

>Cut to Sora releasing his heart, then embracing Kairi.

>Kairi's eyes open to midday back on the islands. We get a shot of her looking at the island from before, now empty. Slow pan back to her face as the sky darkens, and a light falls in front of her

>She looks up, and sees a shower of small lights as Sora calls out to her from a portal engulfing him.

>Kairi looks onward, longing, as her body dissolves into the wind again, only to form into a more aged design, more taller and womanly, but with the same expression

>She looks down and mouths the lyrics "Music and time," but strangely she is joined by a blonde girl in a white room

>The camera pans, an a crystal ball wipes the bright, sunbeamed sky for a white room, where that blonde girl, noticeably younger than Kairi before her, is drawing on a tablet a spiral stairwell

>We enter the drawing, giving the stairway form as it turns back into 3D modeling, with Sora running up it, slaying Heartless. The guitar takes over the instrumentation as the tranquility from before is lost. Some of the swings line up with the guitar struts

>From the smoke of some slain Heartless, we see DiZ, and another character, hooded.

>Sora looks about to see himself in a white corridor with Marluxia. Sora charges.

>As they clash, the guitar gives way to an electronic keyboard. We cut to Riku in his dark form attacking someone, but we aren't made aware of it until later that he's fighting Ansem. Sora throws his Keyblade at the smiling man, then we cut back to him running on the stairs.

>We see the gang running up the stairs, we see Riku's feet. We see the gang on the stairs again. Pan up from stairs. Riku's up the stairs. The gang is running up the stairs. On the next pan, Riku's running down the stairs following a small black figure that's barely noticeable on the first watching.

>Cut back to the girl drawing, and Sora enters the room she's in. We pan to her drawing of Sora engulfed in what looks like a flower, and Sora looks down to see a lotus-like machine appear out of the ground surrounding him

>Sora looks back at the girl, who mouths the lyrics "Angels in flight," and Sora starts to close his eyes

>He falls into a white void, and starts to fly backwards. The void shatters to reveal the Destiny Islands.

>Cut back to the girl, with the lyrics "Music and time." This time, she is silent, and we get a shot of her notebook, now with Sora sleeping on it. She closes the book.

>We cut back to Sora and Kairi holding hands on the beach, sleeping. When the camera pans to reveal Riku, he's also holding hands with Sora, but we're not left to linger on this before the island bursts into dust, and out from Sora's place falls a new character, a boy. At first, he appears to fall as Sora did, but then straightens up and falls straight down. He straightens up and lands as well. This time, it takes the birds a moment before they fly away.

>As he looks at the birds flying, we're not left with a clear view of what the stained glass is this time, but instead the camera pans up, and we see a verk beach with some glowing cyan on a rocky coast rocks, some of the rocks arching

While anyone who played CoM would be able to tell that this is mostly a recap, the visuals are still left to the imagination, this time mostly used for the transitions. Dramatic and situational irony are heavily used here throughout, helping distinguish this as both a recap and an introduction to the upcoming game.

KH modus operandi so far has been re-release but that was before DLC was a big thing.

>>16102311

I don't like the fag but he isn't wrong for once.

I thought it was fine. Nowhere near perfect but I had fun. Anyone else feel that way?

>>16103698

The only fun I had in this game was tearing it's plothole ridden ass a new one, laughing in a sardonic manner as Nomura does actually tie up every character's plot he ever made except Sora. (And Riku to a lesser extent given Secret Ending.)

>>16103700

That's sucks. Better luck next time then

>>16103702

There will be no next time, it's obvious the Mouse has shoved his dick too far up Nomura's ass, let alone Nomura being a dumbass, for the perfect autism blend that was KH2 to ever come again. I played the game to see what closure I was given and I was given something for each and every character that wasn't a drooling retard.

Also the gameplay is balanced like complete garbage.

>>16103704

Okay. See you in kh4 thread then

>>16102286

>non-specific non-arguments and conclusions

does anyone care?

>>16102924

I can actually believe this.

>>16103707

Apparently not. A lot are nitpicks but at least it's not complaining about not understanding the plot which some reviewers who didn't play anything since kh2 do. My problem with the game is the same I had with every game: the Disney stuff is always filler

>a kingdom hearts game sucks

>>16103707

There's no arguments to be made because he's right. About everything but Montropolis There's more specific to complain about the gameplay but this would imply the game wasn't so easy it's difficult to even mention it.

>>16103711

I would say KH I Disney worlds were definitely not filler.

>>16103704

KH4 will probably be a nomura wankfest with like two disney worlds. i fucking hope

>>16103717

>it's KH but you visit exclusively FF worlds (and TWEWY) as opposed to Disney

I would laugh my ass off but I wouldn't play it when it comes out in 2059

>>16103716

That made even normalfags hate Bioware's guts.

>>16102924

This shit actually makes sense and that last part about all the chess parts being post-death makes me think it's real.

It's like saying that Sora's story was never actually predetermined and Xehanigger and his buddy were just fucking around while their spirits pass on, and Xehanigger finally accepts defeat when his friend beats him in a game. They probably cut that shit because they wanted to redeem Xehanort while he's still alive.

>>16103720

what if you just visit random squeenix worlds, like Hitman, TWEWY, DQ, Life is Tumblr, and Chrono Trigger.

i would buy instantly if they made a voxel-based octopath traveller world with turn-based combat and having sora bitch about having to wait to fight

>>16103716

Gets me every time

>>16103735

>Hitman

>Hitman doesn't actually kill people he's just turning them into heartless

>Sora and the crew have to stop Hitman from murking his targets

>>16103741

fucking kek'd at the idea of 47 walking around mumbling to himself about darkness

>>16103741

>Sora gets headshot instantly with no dramatic bullshit

>>16103715

He can't be right about anything because he substantiated nothing. I bet he didn't even play the game.

>>16103750

Sora can take bullet shots and keep going, this is canon from KH I.

>>16103753

i feel like sora and the other humanoids from KH aren't even people, they're like fucking androids or some shit.

this could be why cloud wrapped his sword up, since blunt objects work better on them than cutting them up.

>>16103715

>I would say KH I Disney worlds were definitely not filler.

There was no point to be in most of them. 3 per playthrough are even skippable entirely, that's how filler they are. The Disney characters were largely irrelevant, Sora was just helping them out for almost no reason other than beating the last boss means locking the keyhole. You don't even need to lock the keyholes to beat the game so whatever

>>16103717

Same/ While it was fun when I was 11 to go "oh wow that disney cameo is in it!" the novelty has far ran off.

>>16103760

i unironically want a more edgy KH where mickey loses everything and is out for blood.

>>16103762

It doesn't need to be edgy but I think the Disney brand is holding them back. Did you notice that Monstropolis and Toy Box had the most artistic liberty? That's because Pixar took charge instead of Disney and told Square to do anything they wanted. And since BH6 isn't a key Disney property, they had more liberty to do things too. If they want to add Disney they need to make it revolve around the story more, which it almost never has. KH4 should have way less Disney as a result of these restrictions.

>>16102303

Nice review, although very short in my opinion. I also recently saw this review. It explain well most of KH3 problems in detail. Guy channel have shitty opinions of other stuff, but this video isnt shit.

>>16103770

>If they want to add Disney they need to make it revolve around the story more, which it almost never has.

KH I did this, best example is Atlantica were Triton is aware that other worlds exist and it becomes a meta issue if Sora should even be helping Ariel. Neverland was plot relevant. Monstro was optional but also relevant. They were stuck on Tarzan because the ship crashed. Alice in Wonderland less so but that's because it was mostly exposition introducing the initial plot hook of people disappearing. Colosseum is fucking Colosseum but Cloud was involved. I'd say the least involved was Nightmare Before Christmas but it still got to tell an original story.

>>16103782

>best example is Atlantica were Triton is aware that other worlds

In a world that was completely skippable where Ariel wasn't even a princess of heart. Great

>Neverland was plot relevan

The only one I'll give you

>Monstro was optional

So it's not relevant. It's filler if you don't even need to touch it.

>They were stuck on Tarzan because the ship crashed

Which plays no bearing on the rest of the world. They are not stuck for more than 5 minutes before they regroup at the camp.

>Alice in Wonderland less so

Nothing happens in this world except the first keyhole, which could have been anywhere. The rest of it is a giant loop through woods and hedges and shit for no reason.

>Colosseum

Completely skippable

>Nightmare Before Christmas

Original story but completely skippable

Sorry but if something can be skipped and it does nothing to the plot, it's filler. Most of these worlds are filler. The only one relevant is Neverland because it's the last Disney world and plot finally starts happening. All the rest of the plot is contained in traverse town, which you go back to for even more plot, and then Hallow Bastion.

KH series has never had Disney worlds be a part of the plot other than one or 2 points that could have been literally anywhere and had nothing to do with any of the Disney characters whatsoever.

>>16102303

The problem is that I have no reason to believe anything that Dunkey says because he's Dunkey, and thus most of his opinions are soyboy cuckery.

"Right twice a day" is a fallacy. Most of the time whenever someone who's mostly wrong expresses an opinion, anyone who ever held that opinion is automatically invalidated, as they rightfully should be for sharing an opinion with someone who's wrong about basically everything.

>>16103800

Remember, this is the guy who said the ending to Mario Odyssey was one of the greatest in video gaming history. In the ending Mario gets cucked.

>>16103802

I have more reason to believe that Kingdom Hearts 3 is a literal fucking masterpiece now than before I watched that video. The only reason I don't is because the people in this thread are telling me it isn't.

>>16103803

It's not a masterpiece but he pretty much admitted to not playing any game between KH2 and KH3 and complained the plot was too difficult. Kh3 has a LOT of problems but he couldn't even point them out right. Also he said there are too many in battle cutscenes, which is funny considering there's an option menu to take all of them out.

>>16103800

>"Right twice a day" is a fallacy. Most of the time whenever someone who's mostly wrong expresses an opinion, anyone who ever held that opinion is automatically invalidated, as they rightfully should be for sharing an opinion with someone who's wrong about basically everything.

This is the dumbest thing I have ever read

>>16103800

You're retarded

>>16103802

Pauline is way better than Peach. What was Mario thinking?

>>16103809

The plot isn't difficult it's just so poorly told and so stretched over so many games that it becomes a mess unless you've played everything including the shitty mobage.

>Also he said there are too many in battle cutscenes, which is funny considering there's an option menu to take all of them out.

You can take out the start up animations but with the carousel for instance the animation is drawn out as fuck.

>just don't use it

Why is the game given me moves with huge invincibility frames and free damage if I'm not supposed to use it? And even if you want to say that isn't a problem, it's still a huge break in the flow of gameplay that you don't see in KH II even though that has huge animations as well.

>>16103800

Is there even a word for this fallacy? "Tainted well"?

>>16103770

as far as i understand every changed will need to be approved by Disney, that's why the worlds are self contained. I remember Devs talking about how Disney handles starwars. they will send ideas to Disney and they would get feed back months later. Disney saying "we don't like that , change it "

im taking it the Pixar and Square were in talks about the story even in pre prodection. if i remember Pixar designed the look key blades for Toybox and Monstropolis. thats why the story's continue the plot of the movies.

note how all the flat out Disney movies are just retelling the stories from the movies. Big hero 6 is technically a Marvel property that's why i think Disney let them go fast and loose with the plot.

>>16103834

>stretched over so many games that it becomes a mess unless you've played everything

Well that's why you play everything then? I didn't start LOTR at Return of the King, read the first page, and go "What's Minas Tirith?" No one complained that Harry Potter had 6 prior books prior to the last. Or if you didn't play everything read a synopsis. I didn't play phone game for a single second and I still know the entire plot and who Strelitzia is and why Marluxia and Larxene are motivated to do what they do.

>with the carousel for instance the animation is drawn out as fuck

The animation is the attack. Each pulse is an attack.

>Why is the game given me moves with huge invincibility frames and free damage if I'm not supposed to use it?

Please point to the line where I said don't use it. Please do this.

>>16103841

Pixar's writing staff who did those two movies were brought in for input and they were very receptive. It's why you see things like Woody telling off young Edgenort and expelling the darkness, and Sully and Mike throwing Vanitas through doors, meanwhile none of the other Disney characters do shit. And yes BH6 is a Marvel property primarily so a lot of liberties were taken. Disney has been a massive limiting factor since KH1

>>16103849

>I didn't start LOTR at Return of the King, read the first page, and go "What's Minas Tirith?"

>comparing LOTR to KH

Give me a second to stop laughing, again, you miss the fucking point. The story is bad because it is stretched over so many games in what could be contained in one if Disney filler weren't so heavy. The overarching "plot" of KH is shallow as fuck and built on a shaky foundation that was never meant to hold all of it's contrivances. Even if it weren't stretched out, the story of KH is fucking treated like drivel with plothole after plothole stacked up ontop of each other so much nothing means anything anymore.

>The animation is the attack. Each pulse is an attack.

What part of "breaks the flow of combat" did you not understand? Playing a rhythm game in the middle of my ARPG is flow breaking even if the rhythm game is an attack retard.

>>16103870

>MARVEL

To be fair, Big Hero 6 was used, and is technically Marvel.

>>16103869

>Give me a second to stop laughing, again, you miss the fucking point

Okay. I didn't play Elmo's Letter Adventure and complain I didn't know my 123's because I didn't play Elmo's Number Journey, you fucking mong. The point is still the same. You can't complain about plot if you haven't played the games or hell just read up on what you missed.

>What part of "breaks the flow of combat" did you not understand?

It IS combat. Sorry the carousel sucked but that's still combat.

Explain in terms if lore why some FF characters appear. I know that it is a marketing ploy, but why are my favorite gambling man and Cloud both helping Sora save the world from dumb bullshit.

>>16103881

>fails to address the fact that the plot is shit because of how many plotholes it's created for itself over the years

>says the game was good

>apologist for the shit gameplay

>You can't complain about plot if you haven't played the games or hell just read up on what you missed.

This would be true if the game acted as if you played the other games, even the game acts as if you fucking didn't with 1/4 of the cutscenes being recapped. This isn't KH II where the events of CoM are put in Jiminy's Journal and you can read up there, the creators make a point of recapping any and everything for everyone because even the creators assume most people didn't fucking play everything. The start of Return of the King is not 3 chapters of recap.

>>16103885

Because there's a hubworld where all the FF characters live. They're there just as another world to visit.

>>16103902

>the creators make a point of recapping any and everything for everyone

Except the complaint is that they DIDN'T do that, yet at least they made 5 videos to try and help and included it for free in the main menu. And I don't think vanilla KH2 had the events of CoM in the journal because the journal got wiped. It's even a plot point that the journal gets wiped so I have no idea what you're talking about. Point is doesn't matter how many games the plot is over, the complaint isn't about how stretched out it is, it's saying that things weren't explained when in fact they are, just not in KH3.

>>16103873

Using Big Hero Six is like using characters from Star Wars Revels or the Soylo prequel

It's like having acces to whole five star buffet with exotic delicius meals you've never seen or heard of before and you eat only 1 toast with butter and jam

>>16103786

there hasn't been final fantasy elements in KH since Birth by sleep with Zack in Olympus Coliseum

all the final fantasy is completely gone in KH 3 whats funny is that no one noticed. the Kingdom hearts meta is what's hurried .

>>16103855

it's funny how everyone gives square shit about how the games are. I would kill to be a fly on the wall in some of those story meetings with Disney. Tetsuya Nomura demanding access Hocus Pocus movie and Flubber to tell his full story the and Disney repeatedly telling him no.

>>16103786

quite the oposite

the game would have been way better if it was just Final Fantasy before XIII shat the bed and no Jidsney at all

>>16103786

That's literally what KH3 was and it's complete garbage.

>>16104264

>in the canon their worlds already fell to darkness and pre the event's of kingdom hearts.

World, not worlds. And the world in question is Hollow Bastion, which is why they show up there. All FF characters come from HB.

>trying to explain why they all still show up in radiant gardens in KH2 will give you a brain aneurysm

Because they went back after Sora unfucked it. Not that hard.

>>16102780

In KH4, who knows.

>>16104336

Now I realize why people can't follow the KH plot. Jesus Christ.

i completely agree

Personally:

Toy Box > Monstropolis > Tangled > Olympus > San Fransokyo > Caribbean >>>>> Arendelle

>>16104350

The FF characters came to Traverse Town on a gummi ship. That's not their "native" world, Hollow Bastion is their world, with Traverse Town just being where they were forced to go after Heartless took over HB.

Jesus Christ this is an easy plot point from 1 how the hell did you fuck this up?

>>16103898

>you wouldn't take DSP's opinion on anything seriously

actually Phil has a pretty good track record. He was calling out cuckjima for the hack that he was long before Phantom Pain or Death Stranding when most people were still worshiping him.

You're very special, anon. Now go back to the short bus.

>>16104420

>Phil has a pretty good track record

>>16104429

I think anon meant his opinion on things in general rather than how good he was at actually playing video games.

>>16104420

Calling him out? He got mad from dying too much in a Metal Gear game and would just run around screaming "KOJIMA WORLD ORDERRRR" everytime he got frustrated.

>>16103870

Star Wars and Marvel weren't in KH III because it would have cost a fortune in licensing to include them. Disney has contracted EA the exclusive rights to make games of "Star Wars" characters so there was no way to include Star Wars.

The Big Hero 6 example is different because that is a straight Disney film. Those depictions of the characters count as "Disney characters" it's like how Disney owns their specific adaptations of Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, etc, but they don't own the rights to the stories themselves. So Big Hero 6 was an exception because it is a Disney adaptation.

I think it's for the best anyway, of all the things that Kingdom Hearts III needed Star Wars and MCU was not one of them.

>>16104435

>>16104471

>I think it's for the best anyway, of all the things that Kingdom Hearts III needed Star Wars and MCU was not one of them.

If that's true than why did Thanos kill Sora at the end of Kh III? Can you answer that one faggot? >>16102648

>>16103870

>How the fuck do you miss an opportunity like that?

Because the whole reason we waited this long was Nomura trying to get his hands on the Pixar license to make the Pixar worlds in the game. Considering it took them that long to just get the Pixar license imagine the nightmare wait it would have been if we had to wait for Marvel and Star Wars as well.

KH3 only took 5 years(a standard dev cycle) to actually make. The rest of the time was thumb twiddling until the Pixar license

>>16104540

The ironic thing about that is that the stories in the Pixar worlds were the best thanks to creative liberty.

>>16103898

DSP is a bad person and a retarded "gamer". Now, only thing I would defend him against the people criticize him is that lately people give a big emphasis on the "racism" of DSP, because muh racism, even when 95% of the DSP "racist" moments are jokes, and even good ones. But thats it.

Besides, if we are talking about DSP in a KH thread, might as well post its TIHYDP of KH1. This one and the KH2 are good TIHYDP, and cant wait for the incoming KH3 ones.

>>16105258

DSP has become sad to watch, even as one of his haters. He's a shell of his former self who turned off the comments for all his videos, which broke his YT-based fandom, resulting in most of his videos struggling to break 1,000 views. Even most of the TIHYDPs that were made in recent years are just sad and boring to watch although I blame the creators who just lazily put most of his playthroughs in and do nothing to improve it, like adding twitch chat or just trimming the fat. He doesn't have long left in his "career"; his adsense account was banned, his patreon is on the decline, and it's only a matter of time before the money from his twitch paypigs dry up too.

>>16105323

Oh, the first one is out, good. Thanks anon.

>Even most of the TIHYDPs that were made in recent years are just sad and boring to watch although I blame the creators who just lazily put most of his playthroughs in and do nothing to improve it, like adding twitch chat or just trimming the fat.

Sometimes true, but its like you have to watch every video, and sometimes in my case, I see videos as background, to when nothing special happens.

>He doesn't have long left in his "career"; his adsense account was banned, his patreon is on the decline, and it's only a matter of time before the money from his twitch paypigs dry up too.

Its "dream job" will stop obviously, and he will suffer by not thinking longterm and being an asshole greedy fuck. But damn pigroach have outlasted Sons of Kojima & Machinima….

>>16105323

>DSP only died once in the entire game

You have a big problem when your game is so easy and mediocre than DSP have dont much problem making a playtrough of it. LMAO.

>>16105409

kingdom hearts is a kids game, it's made for children

people love to compare it to games made for adults.

>>16105429

DSP dies all the time on kids games though.

>>16105409

In my playthrough, I forgot to equip any healing items in the time before I learned cure. Was fighting the titan trio and while the fight dropped me to 10% health, I still won the fight without a single heal. This was on standard mode, if I was playing Proud mode I imagine I'd only have needed a single potion to finish the fight. The game is insultingly easy.

>>16105429

KH 1 and 2 were kids games, in which DSP struggled and died a lot of times. Meanwhile KH3 have a DSP deathcount of ONE. ONE. Game is that easy.

I really liked it to be honest. People were expecting the game to suck their ducks off but it was just another comfy Kingdom Hearts game to me. I liked the Luxury twist as well. Excited to see what happens next also excited to see how they patch and update the game in the future. The hate is over stated. Kingdom Hearts 2 was every bit as "Disappointing" as 3 when it first came out. 3 has the best worlds in the series. The only one that really sucked was Arendale.

9/10 game imo

>16105549 (no (you) for you)

Just to be clear, Dunkey is a youtuber hack faggot who bent "reviewed" Octopath Traveler like a regular limp-wristed games journo and also got his soy in a tizzy over Xenoblade 2's fat tits.

>>16102286

Why do you acts supersized? The original KH was mediocre. KH3 is just more of the same.

>>16105676

Big tits are nice and all but they dont make up for a game being bad. Xenoblade 1 has tits and ass in it but its the best JRPG of its generation.

Also Dunkey doesnt like JRPG's, it was weird that he even played Octopath and it was obvious that he would hate a game from a genre he doesnt like.

>>16105679

>KH3 is just more of the same.

That's a generalization, at least it functions as a entertainment product unlike every game past CoM., I fucking hated KH2 when I was 13, overrated piece of shit was somehow more empty than a launch-gen PS2 game, another rehash at that.

All projects they were working on when FFXV came out will likely be shit. FFVII remake will be shit, Hitman 2 was shit, KH3 was shit. All we can hope for from Squeenix is that they pick themselves back up once they're done fucking up all the projects from that period.

Why would you trust Nomura after FFXV?

When has any sequel over a decade after the last main title been good ever?

You knew the answer to both going in and bought it anyway.

>>16103124

>So it's not as difficult as Terra / Lingering Will? Good to know

It's more accurate to say he's much simpler. He has like four moves and three phases:

>Long combo that ends in a charge. Block it androll through the charge, because it's unblockable.

>Short combo that ends in an overhead. Block it, if you're not in the air the overhead will always whiff.

>Big spin on the ground. Avoid it and punish from above, it can't be blocked and always stuns, leading into cobo 2.

>Circle of projectiles. He'll dissapear for this, leap up and circle tightly with glide. If you can remember where he vanished from, it's a decent punish.

Phase 2 adds in some dashes out of the original punish phases. Phase 3 speeds everything up and he doesn't vanish during the projectiles, chasing you instead. If you somehow close in between attacks, only hit twice or he'll counter with combo 2 instantly. Rage form is a decent panic fallback if you can reliably avoid his attacks and know the block timing. He has HUGE time between attacks, the first two phases are almost a gimme because of this. Hell, combo 2 almost always whiffs hard if you're gliding.

>>16106267

Or, you know, just use Countershield and block everything from all directions. Then take out one bar of health per a return.

>>16106275

So how do you start the fight with countershield out?

>>16106280

You have to charge it up as shown here >>16102822 but you can "store" the transformation.

>>16106288

Whoops, wrong video, thought it was this one

>>16106288

Anyway, I'm just saying that it's comparatively simple, especially next to Lingering Will's like, six moves, some of which have minigames and mechanics associated with them, Aqua or Vanitas IN THIS FUCKING GAME, or the secret bosses in 1,etc. It's hilarious that Countershield makes him a huge bitch because the Highwind always felt in general more useful, to me.

>>16102303

I like how he Shit's on KH3 yet he praised God of War 2018 to hell and back, despite pretty much having the exact same fucking problems of being all flash and no substance.

okay? Nobody said otherwise, he criticized the game specifically because of the titties he didn't say "the game is bad, but hey at least there are some nice tits to look at". Is your reading comprehension that bad?

>Also Dunkey doesn't like JRPGs it was weird that he even played Octopath

It's not weird at all Octopath was one of the biggest titles released in the summer, it was guaranteed clicks and as for "playing" it he didn't. He played the first chapter then made his "review" just like those professional game journos he loves to lambaste. Except it was even worse than the typical IGN writer because he deliberately and maliciously mislead his audience about the game in his video.

Next time at least bother to skim through the video of the guy you're responding to so you can run damage control without looking so blatant.

Is it just me, or does Elsa's facial structure look a lot better in the game than in the movie? The japanese devs made her face less pudgier and less caked with makeup.

Toy Story is the best, Monsters Inc a close second. and Olympus and San Fran tied for the next. Twilight Town is utterly forgettable as a world, and the last world is just Endgame Content Town.

Also this is old as shit, but with there being so many cutscenes where it's just talking and longass animations in KH3 this is back

It's pretty heinous that the FF trio from destiny islands are missing. Those three were literal friends to the main characters.

Nomura is delusional if he thinks his discount FF hoodie team is anywhere near as interesting or iconic.

>>16108103

Wasn't he also responsible for the trio? And even so, the FFX characters were only there at the time because X was the newest entry in the franchise. Even at the time, you could tell that no one on the development team cared about those cameos.

>>16102399

This. 2 provided good enough closure to the entire series, we didn't need to see what happened afterwards.

>>16108893

No it should have ended at 1. 2 is where Nomura starts adding all his shitty OCs, the beginning of the end for the series.

K and S should have ate each others Paopu Fruit and closed the curtains in 1.

>>16108325

That is why it is visible that they didn't care. They either were bound by the producers (or even Disney's contract), or they simply used those characters as fillers, because they only cared about their OC cast.

As for Riku and Kairi, they probably went for Tidus and Wakka, and said "fuck it" to Sora.

Or this >>16108387

>>16109531

2 was a complete journey, though. You set out to find Riku, reunite with Kairi, and defeat OrgXIII and you do all of those things. You and Riku return to Destiny Island, credits roll, you're done. All of the major plot threads were tied up by the end of it, except for some minor things that could've just stayed as spin-offs.

>>16109923

If there was no Chain of Mammories then Org 13 wouldn't even be a thing at all.

>If there was no Chain of Mammories then Org 13 wouldn't even be a thing at all.

Correct, but Riku and the King would still be missing. The entire reason Sora and co. were wondering around pre-Neverland. Also Sora and co. Would still be in bumfuvlck who knows where. Only Kairi wins in this scenario.

The entire series is nothing but fanfic so I'm not surprised.

>>16102286

corona was legitimately my favorite world even though I don't really care for tangled and expected to hate the level. there is some good exploration, the writing isn't as cringey or repetitive as other world, and it had a very catchy theme. rapunzel's mom had some very nice titties as well

i actually really liked the toy story level, it was fun exploring one central area that gradually unlocked instead of just one big sprawl. didn't mind the mechsuit shit, reminded me of the shooter attraction which was the only one i liked. writing was pretty cringey and repetitive with the "buzz lightyear doesn't trust us!" every damn scene. they also really copped out on not giving us a buzz bossfight. overall we didn't get like any disney fights, all of the bosses are just random big heartless. half of the fun of the disney shit is getting to fight fucking jafar and other villains.

monster's inc was the most disappointing level in the game. i liked the movie a lot but instead they just focus on "we gotta get boo home!" in every cutscene it was so fucking grating.

pirates and frozen were fucking trash. big hero six was wasted potential with that big open world city but not much to do, still one of the better worlds.

i haven't played every game in the series, but compared to 1 and 2, 3 more so than the others really had no story progression during any of the disney shit. and shoved it all into the part of the game after the worlds were done. i feel like the other games i played had at least a few plot beats between a few disney worlds. they really should have had you save aqua partway through the disney worlds instead of after them all

also it was completely retarded how basically all of the villains got a little redemption scene in the labyrinth. most of the org members are just gonna be revived anyway and really had 0 motivation for even rejoining, it was fucking retarded

>>16102902

I wonder if Disney is responsible for the lack of incorporation of disney chars into the story. KH1 has some villians as boss fights and/or working together with the original antagonists but they became more and more separate in the later games. Maybe Disney didn't like giving Nomura's fanfics validity by being in an official game.

>>16104357

I agree with this for the most part, Caribbean could have been so much better if not for invisible walls. I spent too much time gliding around islands finding that some of the tops were unexplorable. And SFokyo was better tha Olympus.

I just finished it and I don't know what to make of it. The game as a whole was unadulterated bullshit honestly. The first 80% of the game is just filler and the piss-easy gameplay can suck all the cocks in the world. I don't know what to make of the "real" story because for every question it answered, there were 10 left unanswered and 5 new ones posed. There was no closure, no big reveal outside of the epilogue, nothing. And that's without even going into the damn plot holes…

This is another problem with the KH games post 1. They used up most of the good Disney franchises to begin with, then they had to dip into modern Disney and Pixar shit.

The well isn't quite dried up yet imo. Most of the popular 2D animated Disney movies have already been made into worlds, sure. But they've barely tapped into the vast potential of Disney's 3D animated movies. Like having worlds based on Wall-E, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, and Wreck-It Ralph and such.

But tbh tho, my guess on where the series is headed next is not more Disney movies, but possibly having worlds based on Final Fantasy games. The lack of FF characters in KH3 in this "Disney x Final Fantasy" crossover struck me as really suspicious. And it's not like we have explored any FF worlds like FF7's Midgar in this series so far. It's mostly just been Disney stuff.

That's my speculation on what the post-Xehanort Kingdom Hearts games will be like.

>a new Kingdom Hearts saga with worlds based on popular 3D Disney/Pixar movies

Or

>a new Kingdom Hearts saga that finally explores some FF worlds

>>16110500

>>16110484

he died off screen of "old age" less than a year after the events of mgs4

>>16110524

did you even fucking play MGS4 ? his age and dying was the whole fucking plot. he died weeks after the events of MGS4 and Kojima felt that was ok to overlook.

>>16110482

the issue with FF is that between kh2 and kh3 there were only 2 main line FF games 13 and 15.

square may pull in games from non FF (it already did this in dream drop with "the world ends with you") They may dip into the Eidos games it owns.

>>16107165

so I was right that impotent torpedo is that guy. wew

>>16110474

That is because the "writers" only cared about presenting the characters, so they could be turned into toy lines later.

The whole point of modern entertainment is to sell plastic toys, with whatever medium (movies, games, book,s etc) being only the commercial for said toys.

>he's told up front that he's a clone of the original, has all his memories, and that the cloning technology was perfected so he won't turn into an old man in the span of a few years

Of course, none of that will ever happen.

>>16111497

I love the beginning of 2 in the context of not playing as that fuck boy, Sora. Roxas is a better character and has got more going on (like wearing normal fucking shoes). When you think of KH on it's original premise of Disney x Final Fantasy, Roxas is better because he's much more of a Final Fantasy character and Sora is much more like a nuDisney character.

>>16113271

Be less sure of it because they sure as fuck weren't.

I never played any of these because it was Disney and that's kiddy crap. On that note I also never played any marvel vs. capcom kind of stuff, never cared for synthesizing mediums when they are just fine on their own. Did I actually miss out on anything as someone who's never had a shred of interest for games like this?

>>16114230

KH2 Critical difficulty is one of the funnest experiences gameplaywise from an ARPG I've ever experienced. If you don't like that type of gameplay then whatever.

>>16114251

Righto. I always knew these existed because my cousin's family loved this series to pieces, but it just never grabbed me. I have to figure there's a reason for it and that must be it, they're not dummies.

Fuck me, I forgot to mention these as well:

>no voiced lines for Phil, Dilan, and Aeleus

>attraction flows are just too overpowered

>the actual story comes in at the last 2 hours of the game

>summons are mostly useless again

>no Colosseum

>no Critical Mode yet

>most of the Disney characters feel soulless

>the secret boss is a pushover

>no Sephiroth, obviously

>"THiS looKS LikE a GOod plACE tO FiNd soMe InGrEdIaNtS!!!!"

>less keyblades

>no world revisits

>no Eeyore

>>16115286

>less keyblades

I would argue that giving them all unique* formchanges makes up for this.

*Except when they repeat the function of some keyblades. Starlight, Kingdom Key, and Dawn 'Till Dusk make sense being the same I guess, but why is 100 Acre Wood exactly the same as the Star Seeker-like keyblade or Toy Story the same as the Game and Watch one?

Everything else you said is spot on.

>>16116509

>>16115286

>less keyblades

Theres no fucking Oathkeeper and Oblivion.

Thats a BIG fucking red flag for a KH game.

>>16117063

2. That 2015 trailer was a prototype.

>>16117063

>expecting consistency from autism hearts

Okay, I've only played Chain of Memories, but I want to make sure I've got this right. So Sora and Kairi like each other, as shown near the end of KH3. Roxas is mostly Sora, I say mostly because Sora and Ventus have a weird symbiotic relationship but it doesn't really matter for what I'm trying to get to. Namine is Kairi's Nobody, but only exists because of Kairi's heart being in Sora's body, so she's mostly Kairi with a bit of Sora. Xion on the other hand is mostly Sora, but due to shenanigans ends up getting a lot of Kairi in her, so she's mostly Sora with a bit of Kairi. It seems like Roxas somewhat likes both Namine and Xion, which makes sense since they're at least partially Kairi and he's mostly Sora. Now, the only time Namine and Xion would even have a chance to interact is right at the ass end of KH3, so I can't say for sure, but because they're both part Sora and part Kairi, they'd probably also be into each other. What I'm saying is due to Sora fucking stabbing himself, he might have created the ultimate threesome. Forget Xehanort's fucking retarded plan, that's what people should be caring about.

He probably wasn't a vessel at that point, either not yet or not anymore.

On that point, do any of the games ever explain if the person time travels forward in time via temporary body and goes back into their own time, do they still retain their memories of being in the future?

>>16119156

>He probably wasn't a vessel at that point

That has nothing to do with it as he was shown to have yellow eyes even before leaving Destiny Islands.

>On that point, do any of the games ever explain if the person time travels forward in time via temporary body and goes back into their own time, do they still retain their memories of being in the future?

He does mention in DDD that he won't have any memories of the future, but he will know his destiny, IIRC.

>>16119369

>That has nothing to do with it as he was shown to have yellow eyes even before leaving Destiny Islands.

That's what I mean, the yellow eyes, pointed ears are only there if a person is a vessel, case in point, look at Siax during the ending of KH3.

>Final Fantasy is completely gone from KH3

Good. I cringed at the thought of what FF characters would be on the writing chopping block whenever anything KH was announced. All of them lose a couple dozen IQ points once they enter the KH world and it hurts. Aerith and Cloud too good for that franchise

Disney finally took over and the games are revealed for what they are: poorly written, stretched out Disney ads.
