melodicwaffle posted:Hi thread, I've been un-bookmarked for a bit just because I'm being hyper-cautious about KH3 stuff now (I'm staying away from trailers because I want to be surprised, and I dunno who's using spoiler tags and who's not). So, sorry if this is retreading anything that's been discussed recently! No we won’t do your homework for you.

Raxivace posted:Flowmotion even feels kind of fun to do for me now. Flowmotion would be a lot better if it didn’t smear Vaseline across the entire screen. I can sort of imagine how that was a cool effect that gave the impression of fast movement in stereoscopic 3D, but on the PS4 it just gives me a headache.

So there's a guy and his brother who's gotten KH3 and have been posting gameplay videos of it on twitter and reddit. He hasn't posted any story spoilers yet but I wouldn't be surprised if they come out soon. Y'all been warned, stay off the rest of the internet if you don't want to be spoiled

I loving love how absurd this series is and how seriously it takes itself. Mickey: Musketeers don’t ever run from danger! Donald: Then it’s time for me to get a new job! *Donald rapidly waddles off while dramatic sad violin music plays*

I've been thinking about it more and more, and it really feels like Nomura changed his mind over time and wanted Riku to be the main character. Riku, as far as we know, has done something nobody else in the KH universe has done, accepting, harnessing, and using darkness while still remaining on and being able to use the powers of light. Terra came closest, but he eventually fell and Xehanort possessed him and hasn't managed to break free since, whereas Riku was able to break free thanks to Sora kicking SoD's rear end and Mickey helping him and has stayed free. I feel like in most other works the main character who accepts and uses both sides is usually the primary protagonist after going through his character arc. Plus Riku is the one who is actually a keyblade master, which is a bunch of bullshit cus I don't see Riku saving the universe like three times.

Riku is the rightful owner of Sora's Keyblade, which is given to the five-year-old Riku by Terra in BBS. His reliance on the power of Darkness caused the Keyblade to reject Riku in favor of Sora. So, yeah, Riku was originally intended to be the Hero. And in a way, he is.

Also I finished KH3D again and oh boy, even though I kind of like Flowmotion now the rest of that game's combat is still pretty whatever. I'm playing 0.2 again now and am trying to get No Damage on Phantom Aqua 3. I keep getting pretty close but keep screwing up and taking a hit. Not really sure how to deal with the Blizzaga spam either- right now I just kind of hope she doesn't use it and goes for the triple Spellweaver thing instead.

Riku being made a Keyblade Master when Sora isn't is 100% echoing Aqua being made one when Terra wasn't. It happened so Sora could react less stupidly than Terra did in a similar situation.

Sora doesn't give a hot poo poo if he's a Keyblade Master or not. That doesn't matter. Protecting his friends and stopping the bad guys is what's important

I mean it's not like being a Keyblade Master really seems to mean anything. Like Eraqus was a Master, but lost to Terra. Aqua is a Master but she's as useless as Ventus and Terra. Sora's NOT a Master, but he's probably the strongest Keyblade wielder currently alive.

The actual purpose is to just be prime time for Xehanort, the holder of his Gazing Eye, to prank other keyblade wielders.

TheLoneStar posted:Hey, hasn't stopped him from being literally the only competent protagonist in the series. Riku is competent when he is playable and Aqua does alright once BBS hits its final act. Hard to compare to Sora though. That guy just has his priorities straight. He doesn't sweat the small stuff and is out there helping people and beating up bad guys, it's the right mindset to have.

His only negative is being untroubled by complicating factors. chumbler fucked around with this message at 08:03 on Jan 1, 2019 |

Hey man, that's Sora's greatest strength! And if we're talking about self-sacrificing, Sora just straight up kills himself to save someone. He was luckier than Aqua though.

There's something to be said for the moment in Chain of Memories when Sora discovers his memories of Namine are false and he's lost his real memories, and he kicks Marluxia's butt to save Namine anyway.

Thundaga can interrupt the boss if you cast as soon as she's in the air starting up Blizzaga. It's a tight window but possible. Alternatively, exploit Shotlock invincibility.

The final battle trailer seems to suggest that Sora is in a position in KH3 where he'll be without his friends. Let's see how he copes doing everything solo and having his friends taken away from him, because you would think Sora would really struggle coping with that in a way that Riku would definitely not

God it must suck so badly to be a wizard or Mickey or basically any of the cast and see that not only does every plan hang on to this utterly dim-witted murder hobo, but that over the last two years this murder hobo has systematically wrecked house and done more damage than an entire army of Jedi-wizards have done over potentially hundreds of years.
