Kingdom Hearts

It's Kingdom Hearts' 15th anniversary, and the entire series is now all available on one platform, I think now's as good a time as any to have a thread for it.

It used to be Birth by Sleep, but KH2FM has dethroned it ever since I got my hands on 2.5

Obviously you mean favorite waifu, and obviously it's Aqua

Probably Roxas in KH2FM. A perfect blend of fun, challenge, atmosphere and plot relevance

Be good, basically

Is it wrong i can't afford a ps4, and I'm just emulating the old games?
I will eventually get the final mixes though

Yes, it is wrong. You should feel terrible for not having a PS4.

good one user

Why can't you just let it die

because that's a different game, senpai

Jesus Christ, they're going to keep milking this series for decades to come, huh

Where did the time go, Holla Forums? Who else has accomplished fuck-all since then?

(Checked)

I was in second grade when the game came out. I actually bought the next two games, Kingdom Hearts COM and Kingdom Hearts II by saving my money and was literally the only one in my school who understood what the fuck was going on at the start of the second game.


I'm a month away from getting my Bachelor's in Criminal Justice.

Law Enforcement or (((Lawyer))) user?

>Roxas/Ventus Aqua best girl
>I dunno, maybe Ansem-Riku from KH1
>That it's fun, good, and complete.

Friend just said this is a game for girls. How true is that?

Was Disney only popular with girls?

Reminder that only the first game is good.

I want to be a Cop, my mother wants me and my sister to be Lawyers though our arguments are mostly Me beating in their heads that being a Lawyer in today's employment market is crushing at best; Suicidal at worst.

Gawrsh

KH2, haven't played KH2FM yet
Axel/Lea
The last Ansem fight from KH1
That it's good and answers some of the questions left in the series though it's more likely it'll make even more of them instead

Isn't that the point with Nomura games?

You're right, but I just want to know what the fuck Kingdom Hearts actually does.

Sorry user I have some bad ne-

It's either that or Clerk work and I prefer the physical exercise than suffering papers all day and checking appointments.

Though it pays a HELL of a lot better.

KH2FM+, BBSFM, KHFM, and the original Chain of memories

Roxas or Axel. Dual-wielding edgelord or Hotheaded Raiden with chakrams.

Alternatively King Mickey

Kurt Zisa, The Phantom, World of Chaos, Roxas, Axel (2nd Fight in KH2,) Luxord, Xaldin, Lexaeus, Vexen, Chernabog and the 2nd Riku Boss fight in Hollow Bastion

Beyond wishing for a few other worlds to make in Realistically my expectations are (very) low

358/2 Days
Xion!
The boss fights at the end of 3D were all pretty good
As if you need to ask

It's not even Wednesday yet, you avatarfagging coon.

Obvious waifu is obvious.

Crazy how time flies. I was still in high school listening to people talk about how hard Sephy was. Now it's down to a science.


This.

Kingdom Hearts 1

Marluxia. Gay as fuck, but always liked the scythe.

KH 1 Sephy. Feelsgoodman.jpeg.
Looks good. We'll see how it plays though.

Picked up 1.5 + 2.5 since I only played the first one (finished it) and second one (disc broke before I could finish it), I'm now on the proccess of replaying them because buying a collection and not playing everything doesn't sit right with me.


Kingdom Hearts 2 has a bunch of pretty boy characters and from that point onwards the series became a magnet for fujoshi.

Im gonna play anyway but man this combat doesnt hold up as well as I thought it would.

I thought the combat still worked. Just basic hack n slash, simple yet effective.

Who's been tampering with your memories user?

>Implying KH2 wasn't fantastic

you're fantastic

How many times did they remaster these games?
Also saw a clip of the remaster and the colors looked washed out.

They don't look washed out but straight up more vibrant. It makes scenes like the dark villain room insanely more visible, you can actually see who they are.

I'm done with your shit Square-Enix. Not even nostalgia will make me buy anymore.

...

Is KH a meme series?
While the gameplay is somewhat okay, everything else feels like it came straight out of devianart and fanfiction.net.

The most milked series of all-time. And don't expect anything from Kingdom Hearts 3 now all the talent has long left Squeenix.

It is now.

tbh both of those career options are complete shit right now

What's so bad about a lawyer? Is it oversaturation or that you can only get good work if your hired by a big name?

I stopped with KH2 and I ain't playing none of this shit.
Tetsuya Nomura needs to get his ass working on FFXVI.

Oversaturation. Supply far exceeds demand

I fUcKiNg LoVe KiNgDoM HeArTs!!!!!!1 Do u wAnT tO SeE mY deviantArt???? I loVe LinKeN pArK too XD 😎😎😎

whats wrong with being a cop now?

I still can't wrap my head around this series. How can anyone play a Final Fantasy-esque game with fucking Donald Duck in it with a straight face?
I'm not saying it's bad or anything, it's just so strange that this exists and is a massively selling franchise.
I'd love to see some uninitiated casual Disney fan with no knowledge of FF or japanese games in general react to this shit.

See picture in the post below you.

Yeah, that's totally why I'm upset. You must have been dropped on your head as a child.

Fucking cuckchan floods have killed this board

I had a teacher who worked in game design before he wanted to start a family and the hours were too severe. He actually helped on the original Kingdom Hearts getting ported over. He had a complete distaste for anything FF, when he played the game he said it was nice but every time a FF character would show up he felt extremely disconnected. Altogether it was a nice game but it was just weird to him and he didn't like it.

One time back in college we had a guest speaker to come and talk to us about video game design.

I have a PS4 and I'm not buying it. Every time a buy a game a PC port comes out a year or two later so I only buy games that have a Sony contract like Bloodborne.

She was right.

Simple and Clean > Sanctuary

I SUMMON YOU XION AUTIST

You couldn't be anymore wrong, even if you tried.

Hikari > Simple and Clean > Passion > Sanctuary

Easy Breezy>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Everything else

That sure is some shit taste you have there, user.
Better than some of her other English songs, though.

my dubs don't lie but if you have worse things by her show me.

(checked)
Wow I've never bothered to look up Utada's picture but goddamn do I want to fuck her now that I've seen her

If I had to pick her worst song, it'd be On and On off her 2009 English album.
*At least with Easy Breezy, it's shit, but one of those bad songs you can sing along with.**

I need source for that absolute retarded claim.
What the fuck do they plan to do afterwards?
How fucking far have they planned in the first bloody place?

I've been here all along though…

Oh okay. YOUR WAIFU IS SHIT user AQUA IS BEST.
Kairi is second best

Aqua is pretty good taste honestly
Here, let me fix that for you
Kairi is average, good but not great

Have them go after the Master of Masters from the shitty mobage/movie
None at all. They make it up as they go along.

This shit and its storyline just gets worse and worse every time. If I ever do play "acquire" the next game, I'm skipping every damn cutscene.

Every time I remember this I die a little inside. Fuck why couldn't KH be just one standalone game? The ending was retarded enough as it was.

...

I was a fan when it was only one and two. Now? I just… I just can't

You missed the one inbetween.

tbh I didn't play the gameboy version until 2 years after I beat KH2 and found it used in a gamestop. KH2 is understandable without it but my god everything made more sense after that.

Yeah, it was a real dick move for them to release CoM on GBA. I could only imagine that casual fans had no fucking clue what was going on when suddenly Sora was waking up in a basement and something about "reconstructing memories"

I'm honestly not even sure what compelled them to release like 7 games across 5 different platforms, most of which were handheld.

Nomura got banished to handheld hell after he got Nomura'd out of working on XIII and SE didn't want to spend much money on the series/ couldn't because of VS, XIII and T0

>>>/gaia/

Its kind of amazing how much they fit into this game, a full kh1 engine fmv, 2 campaigns, TONS of sprite artwork and the renvisioning of old bossfights mixed with new ones was great, i played through it twice. Then i played RE:Chain of memories and it felt like it was a slog to play and a boring retreading of 1. It didnt transfer over well. just an excuse to voice act it. meh. I replayed the GBA version again after, and its as good as i remembered.

You're as good as I remembered.

...

Now i can't watch porn with close ups knowing there's a cameraman between the legs of another man.

its shit.

Wait a minute, this means Xion would be an autistic guy.

And remains adorable alongside Roxas

user, the story's leaving you behind

Why does a game who's premise read like a bad fanfiction have this fucking convoluted enigma of a story. I've read through those pictures twice now and I still don't get any of this. All I remember is about Kingdom Hearts Sora wanting to give Kairi a starfruit from the first game.

No one is allowed any papou fruit until the very end of the third game
And yes I got it memorized

...

Praise be, the man yet lives!


You must not be so good at reading comprehension, user.


The Clock Tower trio really need to meet back up there for 'ice cream.'

Its the same retardation plaguing Final Fantasy's plots and characters every damn series.


Not all of us can be blessed with high impact autism to the point where a messy pile of shit can seem pretty by throwing a bunch of fanfiction and headcanons into the mix.

Excuses, excuses. It's not that hard.

Resident Evil was much harder, especially since Crapcom can't decide whether 0's canon or not

Wait a minute, are you the guy? Because shit yes, I was hoping you'd actually done these!

Yes I am The Guy

Bless you, sir. Your autismal dedication is an inspiration to us all.

Have you thought of doing Metal Gear?

I have, but my knowledge of the series is restricted to Revengeance, Solid and the two on NES

That plot 2 summary is like half and half LeonA/ClaireB with ClaireA/LeonB when I thought ClaireA/LeonB was the mostly canon one.


Switch those first two fam and you're good

Oh no. This won't do.

Do you mean Solid 1-4, or just the first one? Because from what I understand, 2 is where your work would start getting hilarious, and only get worse better from there on out.

As I said in the post while ClaireA/LeonB is mostly canon, Sherry and Claire need to run into the Tyrant at one point, so sayeth the Crapcom overlords

Just the first one
And I haven't finished it yet

KH1, though at this point I've only played KH1, 2, half of Re:CoM, watched the 358/2 """movie,""" and an hour of BBS.
Riku or Axel.
Ansem Riku from KH1. Might be my favourite boss fight in all of vidya, honestly.
Hoping for some non-Nomura FF characters. Also for the game to not fucking suck, I guess.

I never understand how kids could be so stupid, to mix these completely different characters and art styles.

It's like you will eat every shit that comes out of the trash chute, without complaints. You disgust me.

Vexen you're a homo and your power is shitty

t. SoraKHMasterPro1488

Ah, damn.

Got any other game series under your belt that you can do? Megaman, for instance (including X & Zero)?

Fug, only just skimmed through it, mainly to see if you were brave enough to throw in questionably canon elements from Dead Aim or Outbreak


I dunno, I think the Disney/FF mix meshed surprisingly well in the Hercules worlds, and I wish they would have integrated the crossover in a similar way throughout other worlds instead of just cramming all the FF characters in Hollow Bastion. Then maybe it wouldn't feel like playing through watered down versions of the movies at times.

...

Still working on Outbreak, don't think I'll worry about Dead Aim since it's apparently non canon. Besides the two outbreaks the only ones I haven't finished are 4, Survivor, UC and DC (True ending anyways)
Although I'd prefer the PAL version of survivor for obvious reasons I'd have to camp at a friend's house to play it

Off the top of my head I have FF7Comp, FFXIII, Dino Crisis, a decent amount of Star Wars, just about all of pre 343 Halo, most of F/SN/Tsuki, .Hack, Dragon Ball Z and Taroverse, off the top of my head anyways

If by Star Wars we're talking the EU novels, then I would go for that, since it's something everyone here is at least familiar with, on top of being a unique insane mess like kingdom hearts.

I can't recall, it was someone's plot analysis or something that explained that Dead Aim's events go along nicely with Umbrella's downfall, and it's not like a Survivor game excludes it from canon necessarily, since I think the island from the first Survivor is mentioned in Zero (if that one is truly canon)

Keeping this post Kingdom Hearts related, I didn't care much for 1.5's version of Scherzo di Notte, a track that I love (all other versions are gay exept ReCoMs). A real orchestra performing is nice an all, but something about the synth strings in the original that make the song feel stronger and not as slow. This goes for a number of tracks in both 1 and 2, the originals just sound better.

Its full blown autism with a poorly developed world that tries to insert the same level of FF retardation into a story about visiting Disney characters. Although I wouldn't be surprised if you also defend shit like FF7 and XIII.

Never played either of those, but I know the former is overrated and the latter a disaster of every aspect being wrong.

Makes me wonder when we'll get our lightsaber keyblade.

Are you the autist who assisted with the taro guides? If so, god bless, user

Jesus fuck, I was expecting that webm to be those guys with the plastic surgery to look like Goofy, now my sides have been blown clean off.

Are there any games that tried to copy KH's gameplay? I'd expect some of the action-based FF spinoffs to play like it, but every time I see gameplay of Type-0 or Crisis Core, it just looks like MMO combat.

Not gonna bother saging for doublepost, thread's been dead for an hour.

Chaos Legion sprang to mind.

Jesus Christ. It's been 15 years already?

And how many games rehashes are there now anyway?

Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII is actually pretty similar to Kingdom Hearts style even though it's a shooter.
I here complaints that the story sucks, and I guess I can see that but I didn't care enough about the story to pay much attention. I just really enjoyed the gameplay.

Has always been 2, with the gamplay being the most fun in that one, now it's been replaced by 2 Final Mix after 2.5, and rightfully so.
I know most here think waifu is the right answer here, but I'm gonna be a contrarian and put my favorite bro Lea here.
Either the Ansem fight in 1, (every phase included) but that's mostly because of the ending cutscene of 1 which everyone here SHOULD know by heart, or it's KH2FM Roxas fight in the world that never was. That fight is just utter perfection down to the music and fight-arena.
I hope it doesn't use the ==AWFUL== system BBS did, where your commands are your moves etc. and just goes back to KH2 style gameplay. The main detriment of these new Kingdom Hearts games past KH2 is that they put too much stuff in them, too many mechanics you will never even touch, and it just feels like a fucking mess.

wot

>15 years was 30 years ago

Where did all the time go?

Didn't play that one?

I bought this shit when I was in my late teens.

The game play was great… WHEN THE FUCKING GAME LET YOU PLAY IT. FUCKING MADE YOU WATCH SO MANY AMVS IT DID MY FUCKING NUT IN.

Some fucking cut scenes were minutes long it was insane.

Birth by Sleep.

Probably Axel/Lea.

Eh. A boss is a boss.

That it actually fucking gets released some day. Only other real hope I have is that it won't require a PS4 Pro, but from what I heard about 2.8, this seems a foolhardy hope to have. RIP Batman PS4.

?

I've played it on and off, but I just can't bring myself to like it. First drop was around that big room where you have to wait 5000 years for Ashley to open the door (Near the prison with the blind ax thing), Second was the lava room with the el gigantes, and third/current is the area after Napoleon.

Odd since I didn't really have a problem with any other game in the series, not even 5 or 6

How?

I think it's because I went into it a few years later expecting it to completely blow after picking it up at FUCKING EBGAMES. I didn't mind it too much and even had some fun moments
As for my list, forgot to add all ALL of Dead Or Alive and some Ninja Gaiden

My whole life is just cold bitter hatred

I've seen how silky smooth that gets, especially in boss fights. Worth an hour, I think.


I miss EB Games.
Was there any moment even you thought was completely bananas?

Do DOA, then.

I would think the t-rex part and the Ustanak Vs Jake part, although that was more CUHRAAAAZY bananas than fuck this I'm done bananas. Still think Chris should've died at the end. It makes more sense since everyone knows him in the main cast, and he's a global hero. If he died in the line of duty there'd be Chris Redfield day or something. Piers would have to pick up the slack in his place, Claire would lose her brother and Barry would lose his old pal you know. Plus it doesn't look like Chris and Jill are going anywhere otherwise, and they're both getting quite up there

Next time there's a thread on it

While more cuhraazy than fuck this bananas the T-Rex boss and Jake Vs Ustanak come to mind. Ada's still a boring cunt and Chris should've died instead. I mean, diverging from KH for a few seconds, imagine the consequences if Chris Redfield died. Every single main character knows him to some extent, and his feats all but ensure there would be a Chris Day or something. Piers would have to step up his game and plus I don't see him and Jill getting together anytime soon

Next time there's a DOA thread

Didn't realize the first attempt went through, my bad

Same. Going to be saving up for a PS4 this summer. I need to fuck with Sora and the gang again, it's been too goddamn long.

That's an odd way of saying it, but alright.

I want a game with KH combat but without Nomura's autism.
Any recomendations?
Yes I played that one random cartoon fan game with boobs, it was fun but short.

Any links? Wouldn't mind trying it for myself
Versus XIII

wow, it's so fluid~ KH always looked good IMO but this is very nice. Can't wait to see Aqua this way. I think this is a pretty good deal for someone who never bought the games before.

I have seen the silky smoothness, and it is lovely.

Oh what the hell.

user, could you repost that? The hack ate it. And thanks to the hack, I never got to save it.

What do you want? Witcher tier combat in Kingdom Hearts? Dream on.

I'd have to post it later, on the wrong computer right now

Alright then.

So, what's the next bonkers twist you all are expecting?

Sora is a ghost.

He sees live people, eh?

Also, technically he's multiple ghosts in one.

The strongest keyblade user has been Donald all along.

At least with lawyering you can do business law as oppose to actual law. Don't know if the moral side is an issue for you.


Nomura is either a turbo autist or is pulling it out of his ass for as long as he has money.


All the music was re-made IIRC. They also ditched Ansem's old VA for the new one. Shame.

Why won't they just release the 3rd game already?

Sora is the Kingdom Hearts

With how cringe-worthy and bat-shit some of the plot twists are, it wouldn't shock me.

QUACK!


What are you talking about, user, they released the third game back in 2006! :^]

Still bugs the fuck out of me all these years later of what could have been. No offense to Richard Epcar though, he's improved quite a bit since KH2, and has become a good VA in his own right outside of KH.

Here it is

Bump

Sankyu, dubsman.

Find anything else to summarize lately?

I could always do Every mainline Final Fantasy game and their sequels

HOW SOON CAN WE EXPECT YOU TO START?

I have returned to bump the question and see if there are any answers.
Well fuck.


Some user posted mega links, of course I don't have them.

I think Chaos Legion was one, though my memory may be playing tricks on me.

How much lewd Aqua does this thread have?

Something about Kingdom Hearts at full 60fps almost sexually arouses me, which makes no sense.

Almost none

She has an ok butt, so there's that I guess. I want to fug Skuld though

You can fuck right off OP.

It's free unless you want the latest buggy build.

Just Jewgle What if Adventure time was an anime game.

That cannot be her ass.

Are you gay?


I'm still pissed Days couldn't at least be remade.

I dunno, I recall her lower half looking nice from the front watching 0.2 playthroughs so I googled for her butt and got that.

I need an unobstructed view to give a full score, don't hold it against me

Chaos legion is similar to I fucking dunno, MGR without parry function? Automata without dodge function? It's not even as acrobatic as DMC, let alone KH or that fangame.
I love chaos legion, but it's nothing like KH.

I seriously wonder how hard it would've been to just swap out all the models and level geometry with the HDwait, do PS2-era graphics count as HD? ones. Like shit, the assets all existed, they even made a new model for Xion, and that was only for portraits and FMVs.

...

Why is it KH 358/2 is the only game with anything close to bonus playable Characters/Alt Costumes
In other games your outfit sometimes changes depending on the world, but what if you wanted to stay that way all the time? Why isn't that a feature in these games?

Really i'm just salty I can't play looking like pic related all the time.

Go find teamod for KH2, you can with that

And in .2 aqua has some customization, so I'd figure they'll probably keep the system into 3, and rumor of multiple characters in 3 was a thing, can't remember that article though, my bad

Will The Guy come through for us? Or do we need to make a separate thread?

Get the English patched Kingdom Hearts Final Mix PS2 versions.

Yes, exceptions being KH1 and BBS.
DDD was alright too.

It's an alright series, as long as you don't take it too seriously.
In KH1 it was kind of just phantasy, basically Sora going through shit and dealing with stuff that was representative of shit in his life.
And then KH2 came and made everything way too literal and serious.
KH is good in the way that Pokemon is good, it's just nice to go back to stuff that you enjoyed as a kid, it's just anodyne, so you can just feel good for once.

So who is the best girl?
I'd say it's a tie between Aqua and Xion.

It's close but it's definitely Xion

What're we waiting on?

This.

I'm gonna laugh so hard if Terra can't exist except as the Lingering Will by the end of III while Ven gets to bang Aqua.

And the kicker is he'll still be a shota.

Next time there's a thread
I haven't finished the whole series yet though

KH is shit

Aqua.

you're shit

Got it.

I can't say that I'm surprised.

I've got through a good majority of it though
>FF10- Completed 1, know plot of 10-2 and 10-3
>FF12- About at the part where they kill that female judge
Been about 2ish years since I made any progress and half my party is drastically underleveled so may just wait until Zodiac comes out to restart
>FF13- COMPLETED EVERYTHING
>FFT-0- Started HD, got to the OM NOM NOM part, fucking dropped, picked up PSP version, completed first invasion

If it's not on the list it's because I both don't have it and haven't started it

how the fuck is ven a dandelion.
how the fuck is he in 2 timelines at once?

...

Jesus drifting Christ user, why do you do this to yourself. At least XIII had the merit of not being a spinoff

I got the complete collection for Christmas back when I first got my psp and it was just sort of sitting there

Boy, you should have kept it that way. Well at least you could play one version of IV even if it wasn't the best

Playing 358/2 Days has really got me thinking, how the fuck do Roxas, Xion and Axel have the money to buy ice cream every, single, day? That must imply that the Organization is paying them, right? But if that's the case, where the fuck is the money coming from? No one's paying the Organization to clear out all the Heartless, but the members wouldn't just do it 4free, would they? They might not have to pay the bills since they all live in the castle, but I assume they all need money to buy food (since I assume Nobodies need to eat). What the fuck kind of operation is Xemnas running here?

Even Sora doesn't do it for free

I can see it

How could CoM have been better?

CoM was fine for a handheld game on it's hardware. The Re version on the other hand should've done away with the card system entirely. I have many friends and I myself sometimes catch myself trying to play it like any other KH game until we realize "Oh shit the deck just ran out"

god help us all if they decide to include a Many Doors bossfight

I'd buy it.

I can believe this

You forget that this is a universe where money just pops out of heartless. In the first game ever since that one scene where you see a guy turn into a heartless real time, I assumed heartless just have leftover cash laying around in their pockets after turning. Else I'm not certain how Sora and co. survive without food either.

Why is KH2FM so fucking good, anons? It has no fucking right being this fun.
I can 100% the game and then restart and do it all over again, it's fucking incredible. There's just something charming about fucking Donald and Goofy meeting Sephiroth in a game with legitimately incredible combat and customization
Also why the fuck does the mobile game exist and why is there canon story on there you need to know going into KH3

Because it doesn't, all the important canon story is in Back door on ground zeroes except for the brand new stuff, which will probably be bundled with KH3 like the mementos in 3D

>Ventus in the mobile game isn't important
>Square advertising the game as story important and part of the main franchise rather than a spinoff that exists for mindless time-wasting
O-ok user

The mobile game literally ends with "it was all a dream segment" and then Maleficent shows up and is like "Sora and company can't stop me in this reality! HAHAHAHAHAHA" I'm pretty sure it's not actually important.

Which one are we talking about there's 3
Dream one(1st game), Unchained (Backdoor) and Union

As for why KH2FM was good was because Nomura and team cared

I think we need Xionfag to write about the mobile games too, fucking hell.

I thought they were all the same shit, minus backdoor being a movie telling more about the Foretellers.

I liked KH 1, COM & 2, got bored of making S-Ranked Spirits in the 3DS game. Never played BBS.
I often find myself having to endure one or two bad parts (not to mention the cutscenes) to get to the good parts of those games.

If I got a PS4- is it worth picking up 2.8? I've heard you can play on hard mode & still get the hidden endings without having to 100% it (though I probably will to get Ultimate Weapon).
I really don't want to fight Ice Titan or sing in Atlantis again.


I made a more condensed version of that pic for ya.

I think the Riku half of CoM is great. I liked Sora's half but all the different cards just ended up feeling like busy work that always ended in me just finding a way to spam Sonic Blade over and over again.
I preferred Riku's pre-set decks since I focused less on fumbling with 100 cards and more on experimenting with what I had given to me.

but the best way to Improve CoM is to just remove the cards from combat and have it play like 1 or 2.

You can't just remove the cards the cards are canonically why Sora after beating up Ansem and being super high level can't do jack shit anymore and reset to level 1. Then he got reset to level 1 again when he woke up from sleeping in KH2. He gets reset in DDD because his powers don't transfer to the world of sleep. And he gets reset for KH3 because he lost all of his power during the Xehanort takeover bit again. Each time Sora gets a reset there's a canonically reason, and if you take out cards from CoM you have to rewrite the story.

But user, if you remove the cards from CoM, it's literally just a more linear and restriced KH1 with the same 3-4 boss fights between every world. Personally if I wanted to fix CoM at all, I would remove Sora as playable entirely and have it be just about Riku's half, and maybe going through Sora's memories to try and explain how Sora got trapped inside some giant pod for a year, because honestly Reverse/Rebirth is the only reason to bother with CoM.

But user, he I already did

But what you linked is the movie not the actual moile garbage which I assume isn't important you only need to watch the movie right?

The games that did poorly only got a movie remake. It also showed off what their pre-rendered cutscenes will look like in 3 I guess.
Hell, someones uploaded all the cutscenes from games as "movies", so watch them while skipping through the trash and occasionally looking up the bosses in another tab.

Kairi, easy.

Ftfy

Some of it you need the game for context (IE: The scene where Ephemer talks about making a friend is about the MC(Hence the doesn't talk much)). No idea about Union stuff though

Get rid of the card system. Such bullshit.

This

Fuck that, that's the appeal of the game. All the system needs is better flow during battle and unique combo potential, like if you were to use a Magic card during a series of hits and empower the blade for a few more in quick succession or if you could stack damage by using Blizzard then using Fire then maybe even a Thunder to conduct.

Why do people keep posting about a waifufag?

I just finished playing both Kingdom Hearts I and II and…god damn this shit is so fucking gay, its like a wormhole to the 2000s with the spiky hair, zippers, euro pop music and everything.

That being said i think i fucking got into the series and im now interested in KH III.

How come there are no disney in KH 2.8, my 10 second youtube search bring back nothing but japanese videos and KH without Disney just feels wrong.

I like to think it's because I worked hard and made a pretty good or at least decent summary

I feel this way too about Disney being completely pushed to the side once lore was established compared to the first game where everyone felt like an actual fleshed out RPG character to help you as a growing young boy on a grand adventure fight together against a coming darkness apocalypse that would destroy their worlds, but at the same time I can't help but think the less nu-Disney has to do with things outside their worlds aside from Mickey, Donald and Goofy, the better.

They'd probably just shoehorn shitty new Disney villains that reach borderline Mary Sue levels anyways, but it's at least guaranteed Marvel and Star Wars even if they're included won't have anything to do with the main plot because that shit doesn't fit no matter how hard you try to force it. I am definitely not looking forward to Elsa except to kick her ass when she inevitably unleashes Heartless solely because of butthurt and not being able to just stop being a cuck in the making chickenshit and fuck her sister. Maleficent better put together some fucking all stars if Disney makes a strong resurgence as an evil group causing more trouble for both Sora and Xehanort and maybe even enough to actually get some Seekers of Darkness sent after to throw their own wrench into things to involve more Disney worlds with the plot like in Birth By Sleep to an extent (Maleficent revealed working with Xehanort to successfully slowly corrupt Terra in Enchanted Domain, Aqua fighting Vanitas in Never Land). I want Hades back as a major villain again, especially now that we're apparently seeing him move on Olympus in KH with one of the biggest III teasers being that massive scale boss fight with the Rock Titan.

Do you anons actually customize your gummi ship or do you just use the ones the game gives you?

>>>/mai/
>>>/suicide/

Wasn't the Rock Titan a KH1 boss at the end of the Hades cup?

I customized it in KH1, but I got lazy in 2 and used the default ship for most of the game.

Only to use the donut ship in KH2.

Days and Re:Coded are nothing but re-used assets with texture swaps, really. The only new, big shit in both games would be Neverland in Days, and the data worlds from Re:Coded. Everything else in both games is re-used assets with lowered polys.

Didn't 358/2 Days and Re:Coded also have unique customization and depth to them? I heard we were at least originally going to get 358/2 Days, but they were apparently ran into a deadline that it would have increased exponentially.

I usually customize at first, but tend to stick with Deathguise once I find it

Yes, but he wasn't such a big guy


Yes, hopefully in the eventual collection they release after 3 they'll add it

Is there any real reason to hate Birth By Sleep aside from smaller worlds?

Sorry for the dumb questions but if I wanted to get into KH would it be safe to just start with the PS4 Remix? Is there a specific order to play the games in?

HOW IS VENTUS IN 2 GODDAMN TIMELINES

Play them in release order, playing BBS before the original KH for instance won't really do anything for your experience.

From those of you who remember, was Square Enix between 2001 and 2006 as cagey with details on II as it is now with III?

No. Just play the first game for PS2 then Chain of Memories for GBA or the PS2 remake if you'd prefer then II (absolutely in Final Mix if you can get it, included in 2.5 ReMIX for PS3 or 1.5+2.5 for PS4) then Birth By Sleep then Dream Drop Distance (solid, but kind of short 3DS title that's also ported in 60fps to 2.8).

If you get 2.8, you can skip watching X-Unchained altogether since at most it adds a little more to the lore, but nothing too major that III finally being released will explain well enough with its relevance.

358/2 Days will enrich the experience of II along with flesh out later story elements to an extent and some new characters in CoM/II greatly, but it's not vital, either.

Just buy 1.5+2.5 if you already have a PS4. Dedicated fans and gamers who simply enjoy the series have been waiting for the first and second game together with Final Mix content for literally years. And they're both in permanent 60fps aside from prerendered cutscenes along with a solid experimental handheld title like Birth By Sleep, which is the prequel to the first game.

Those two also contain most of the non-numbered content, so you won't have to worry about missing things.

Stop asking questions
You're being very disrespectful

NO FUCK YOU
Ive stuck with it this long, i want to know what the fuck is happening here

If anything it would make it worse because you'll see how blatant the retcons are.

Just got ahold of 2.8, watched Back Cover and beat 0.2

Holy fuck BC is dumb as shit. And not even in the amusing way KH usually is. It was a lot of build up with no payoff. The Master of Masters was fun to watch at least.

0.2 was pretty cool. Seems like Willa Holland stopped taking Valium long enough to record, but she still feels off. I'll replay on Critical Mode after beating DDD. As to why CM needed to be unlocked I can't understand. I also can't understand why the unlockable themes aren't on disk and have to be downloaded from PSN.

Why do developers ever do that stupid thing where they divide their story between three paths? Has it ever worked out and not just ended up with three stories less than the sum of their parts?

Sonic Adventure 2 was pretty good, so I thought.

They can be friends simply by enjoying each other's company and trying to help each other.

Also, Shotlocks are an enjoyable ability that you actively have to keep fighting to use by refilling the Focus Gauge.

Haven't gotten around to it, I'll have to get there at some point.


I can agree to that much, but we're really not shown them doing so in the same way that Sora, Riku and Kairi are, certainly not the way Roxas, Axel and that other girl are. Compared to the way the other groups of three, Terra, Ven and Aqua just feel so much more hollow. Show, don't tell, or some such nonsense.

On the other hand, shotlocks were pretty alright, I mostly put it on there for 0.2 proving how much more balanced they could be with a quick nerf.

noted and accepted

...

It probably won't be out until 2019 at this rate.

Show, don't tell is exactly how you want to handle characters, though. They just didn't do nearly enough of it. The only way to see the true quality of your characters without any bias of your own is to show who they are entirely through actions including expressed emotions and dialogue then have the fans and audience determine through that, not a single line of praising them in depth by someone else.

And I can't see why Shotlocks need a nerf when they're only tearing apart much weaker enemies while just doing some damage to everyone else.


That would be true if CoM, II, BBS and DDD weren't solid and fun to pick up on their own.

Honestly as much as KH2FM gets it's dick sucked I fucking HATE it's level design and game format.


At least with KH0.2/KH3 they're making the worlds much larger while going back to the old KH1 exploration formula, KH2/BBS/DDD level design is just so fucking lazy.

The later games focus on combat far more than the first one, so it sort of makes sense.

Didn't they mention that they wanted KHIII to have really wide open areas? That could either be really good or really bad.

2>3>1

...

first half life 3, now kingdom hearts 3

every game with a 3 is doomed

If I can play as various different characters each with unique movesets, and Sora still has a moveset on par with KH2FM, KH3 will be fucking magical. There's really too many keyblade wielders for only of them to be playable. Not gonna get my hopes up.

I really am apprehensive about 3 though. I don't want to get the game and the jewish nips release the actually well balanced version with the better moveset a few months later.

I would think they would sell DLC instead of a full blown new game, but this is KH and SE we're talking about here. I wouldn't doubt that the idea will be buzzing around the executives heads after it finally releases.

Guessing holiday announcement at E3

Why would you do this to yourself?

You know damn well there'll be KH3FM a few months later in Japan and we won't get it until the inevitable re-re-RE-release of the I.5+II.5+II.8+III 4K collection for PS5.

And it would set up through its hidden bosses and dialogue whatever insane fuckery Nomura has in mind for the next game.

I'm only hyped for KHIII as far as wrapping everything Xehanort up and the gameplay after seeing the return of Command Styles, Shotlocks and even Flowmotion.

My hype for seeing the story itself completely crashed with Leonard Nimoy dying. It will not fucking feel the same with everyone else introduced since BBS and all the other names and voices we've grown familiar with.

How many KH games are there anyways?

I don't they even know how much longer it is going to take.

I'm pretty sure there's nine if you count the browser games.
