There's something really incredible about two IPs coming together in a way that refuses to compromise on either front. Alien V. Predator, Freddy V. Jason, Marvel Vs. Capcom...it's like fan fiction done by the most meticulous and well-meaning fan out there.

If you were some sort of obsessed fan of two well established franchises in America, what would you pick? Super Mario and Star Wars? Harry Potter and Game of Thrones? Dr. Who and Undertale?

Well, guess what. In the early 2000's, two titans came together and melded in such a way. In some ways they had a lot in common: animation, comedy, strength in battle. But nobody could every guess what these two IPs would be: Disney and Squaresoft.

What were you thinking when you heard about this game? What about when you played it, or its sequels? There's a new one of these bad boys coming out soon. Thoughts?

Let's talk about these two behemoths getting in the pool together for an All-Swim. Full disclosure, I'm listening to this on repeat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=im5tc4fcg5w for the duration

The first game was pretty much the perfect action RPG and demonstrated that premise, plot, and characterization are not important when designing a good game.

There was a moment in KH2 where they made it seem like Goofy had just been killed and I'm embarrassed to admit it but for a second, for a tiny little moment, they loving got me. I actually wondered if this game had the balls to kill a well loved Disney character and I decided it did.

Let me tell you about the newest Kingdom Hearts game, it has Florence AND a Machine! It has Daisy Duke riding a quadcocked bottle of Axe body spray! It has a flying loving car! Most importantly, all the fast-paced beat-em-up encounters you crave! IGN 10/10.

Like, you're running around with a sword shaped like a key wearing a wallet chain, but it doesn't matter because the gameplay is executed so well.

It was a head injury.

On Goofy.

Goofy getting a head injury was made to seem dramatic. And it worked for you?

Do you gasp and shut your eyes when you see Scrooge McDuck jump into a bunch of hard metal disks? I mean yikes, he could do himself an injury!

C'mon you small cock man

When Scrooge McDuck jumps into a pile of coins, he's clearly happy to be doing it. All is well

When Goofy gets hit in the head in that scene, he gets knocked the gently caress out. There's a pretty clear distinction in those two scenes

Right? These games do something better than some of the best games in video game canon. They've earned the right to be a part of the conversation. And on top of that, they feature two IPs you would never expect to go together, but it happens and they do

My second playthrough of Kingdom Hearts made me wish I could put everything at double-speed whenever you're not in control of the character. All the puzzle cutscenes and unskippable in-game developments really became a slog.

By the time the second Kingdom Hearts had come out I had aged enough that I couldn't bring myself to delve back into those same simplistic, Disney-themed plot devices with Goofy and Donald tagging along for the ride just for an occasional Final Fantasy cameo.

Maybe now it's been long enough that if I just charge my irony crystals right... :irony:

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

The gameplay in the first one was pretty good and the environments were fun. Did not give a poo poo about the dumbass plot though.

I remember beating sephiroth in kh1 at like level 40 and you were supposed to be like level 70??


His stupid soul harvest move lowered your hp to 1 and I swear he'd follow up on it really fast and kill you so your best strategy was to pop an elixir as it hit you to nullify it

Fucker had like 15 boss HP bars

Nah this is never gonna happen. Too dangerous.
I am 110% sure the reason there's no Zootopia characters in any 3d games from Disney yet is that they are too worried that furries would dump all the model assets and use them to create porn.

Not that it helped much, they just built bootleg Nick and Judy models from scratch instead.

KH2 didn't even bother with adding much Disney stuff, it was just awful fanfiction. i don't see why they'd change that for KH3, whenever that comes out
