I'm really surprised that with a series that so blatantly panders towards the fanbase Sho doesn't seem show up at all. That twister remix is dope and these new plot developments are not dope, not that I really cared about this series plotwise after the the gba game. Okay, BBS was pretty cool, but still. darealkooky fucked around with this message at 05:36 on Apr 2, 2012 |

Totally not reading spoilers, but I am dancing to the TWEWY remix and reveling in the fact that the series jumps further off the cliff. I cannot loving wait. Asking Kingdom Hearts to stop being insane is like asking the WWE to try and be a serious sporting event.

My only real problem is that instead of being crazy it'll just be kinda boring and anime. I'm totally down with being crazy and anime, I guess all I can do is wait and see.

I'm not sure that the Kingdom Hearts story has quite reached those depths of pure insanity just yet. Maybe in KH3, where you fight Hitlernort or something?  And yet, Nazi Donald Duck saluting Hitler in a munitions factory, is somehow less surreal that regular Donald Duck meeting uncanny valley Johnny Depp in a pirate world, with an anime boy who uses a giant key as a weapon for the sake of a giant heart shaped moon.

They found another Bonus boss. It's completely stupid though, it's just a tough Dream Eater like in Days. What's worse is that it's a talking frog that just runs off after a while. Doesn't Disney have an abundance of actual talking frog characters they could have used? Also, here, have some climactic end game boss music. [e]^Indeed it is. Also, found out some more boss info. The Mysterious Figure from BBS is in this game, and is somehow even harder, in that he can reset the entire battle, up to the cutscene before you even fight him. Time Travel  !V Oh, I see. I'm looking at things with 240p here and going off what other livestreamers are saying, so it's a bit hard to tell. Here, have a silly screencap.

For those wondering, it appears that Sora's final boss is Ansem, Seeker of Darkness (aka Ansemnort), while Riku's final boss is Xemnas, followed by the Mysterious Figure (who is apparently a young Master Xehanort who can time-travel), followed by Sora as the cap to it all. Quite thrilling to see these plot revelations popping out of the woodwork. Like the fact that yellow eyes/pointy ears means that you're turning into a Xehanort.

I had no idea about the fact that young Xehanort is around because of time travel, how did that happen? Also yellow glowy eyes and pointy ears...I'm guessing that means Xigbar is the next in line? And this is what Xehanort was referring to when he said "you are just one of many paths I may choose to take. Trust me, I made certain of that." to Terra in BBS I'm guessing? You know I criticize the KH up until now for making a mess of it's plot, and I won't give it any slack, but there are some plot points like these that just weirdly make sense.

I just looked up a few videos and a synopis of the plot of KH3D. I think my new reaction to it can be summed up as: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I take back what I said earlier, it truely has plunged the depths of insanity...but why does it make so much sense while also being completly batshit insane!? Why!? It's like staring into the Ark of the Covenant

Just gonna say that I'll probably be abbreviating Ansem, Seeker of Darkness to "Ansemnort" and young Master Xehanort to Youngnort, since those are long names. LemonLimeTime, it looks like Ansemnort figured out how to time-travel (maybe after CoM?), then went back and "fetched" an alternate timeline version of Youngnort. He has to be from an alternate timeline, otherwise him and the old Master Xehanort couldn't co-exist, because of the way time-travel seems to work. And I'd forgotten about that line, but it seems quite likely. Alteisen, it seems like after Sora's fight with Ansemnort, I believe Youngnort decides that they'll turn Sora into another vessel, and shatters his heart to do that (like Master Xehanort did to Ventus in BbS). Riku fights Sora to mend his heart. Oh, and both Isa and Braig are both vessels for Xehanort. It looks like Master Xehanort is the leader of the new Organisation XIII, which is compromised of Xehanorts. Xehanorganisation XIII? Oh, and more endgame beats. zonar fucked around with this message at 22:35 on Apr 2, 2012 |

If it wouldn't be spoilers, I'd say that the thread name should have the word Xehanorgy in there, because, really. For anyone keeping count of the 'norts, so far we have: Baldynort, Youngnort, Ansemnort, Isanort, Braignort, and Xemnas(nort). Rikunort isn't part of the club, it seems  Also nobody uses two of them, but you've gotta have those 'norts.JesusSinfulHands posted:Now all the Norts and blatant fan service and retcons are approaching critical anime mass but everyones just rolling wit it Level Slide posted:Wait, is DDD out already?

Welp, there goes any hope of going into 3D spoiler-free. My will is weak, and those spoiler bars are ever so tempting. I tried to hold off, but considering I had spoiled myself on BBS the day of Japanese release, there weren't really high hopes for that. And you know what? these plot points for 3D make an odd sort of sense. I can somewhat follow them. And I still love this series.

One last endgame boss theme, this one playing for Riku's battle against Sora. Apparently, after Sora's heart is shattered, Ven (in Sora's heart) gives Sora his Keyblade Armour to protect him from the darkness. Since the darkness can't get to Sora through the Armour, it uses the armour to force Sora to fight Riku when Riku dives into Sora's heart. Or something like that. I'm just relaying from a friend, and he's a bit unsure of the details. As always, if you hear differently, just point it out. I don't want to get my ~ANIMES~ wrong. On the actual music: it seems not-so-good as the rest of the endgame beats, which is a bit of a shame. e: Speaking of getting my animes wrong, I got the final bosses a bit mixed up. Sora fights Xemnas, Riku fights Ansemnort (followed by Youngnort and Sora). zonar fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Apr 3, 2012 |
