Using summons in the summon-focused tournament doesn't seem all that unreasonable to me :shrug:
It's a moot point tho because you shouldn't play KH games on standard mode. It's a total misnomer, Standard is actually Easy Mode and Beginner is Somehow Even Easier mode.
That'a not the issue, the game demands an absurd amount of points that regular usage of summons could not possibly get you even if you spam them. The enemies will die faster than you can get points unless you intentionally don't do damage and juggle them or something.
And yeah, you should always play Proud or above. But 100% Journal is required for plats and I've seen people go crazy trying to get those.

Call or fold?

That trailer owns and I can't wait to pull a Shenmue & ignore the main game to gently caress off and play video games instead

I really hope the simple, forty year-old gaming system blows Sora's mind. Keeping in mind his first reaction to seeing a computer was to slam on the keyboard like a chimpanzee, and he literally tried to Google Riku and Kairi.

I get the feeling that Destiny Islands is kind of backwater as far as worlds go (Riku didn't know what a gypsy was until DDD for another example). Either that or the two of them are just a little slow on the uptake.

I could see Sora being a bit slow on the uptake, but not Riku. I mean it's entirely possible nobody on the islands has any knowledge of what's beyond the shores. It was considered a rumor and a mysterious story that somebody was able to leave Destiny Islands after all.

I still can't believe Xehanort came from the Islands. What if Destiny Islands is the last world in KH3 again like it sort of was in KH1?

That's silly, the last world is going to be an FMV game where you guide your language's Sora VA in a Sora cosplay killing whoever they got for Xehanort in Tokyo Disneyland.

I am of the opinion that Riku isn't actually any smarter then Sora, he just happens to bumble into people who are inclined to explain the plot faster.

The difference between Sora and Riku is not intelligence, because they're both dumb as a post with no education or any kind of formal training

It's the fact that Riku wants to look cool and not look like an idiot while Sora doesn't give a single gently caress

Yeah, he gets better but he's honestly pretty dumb in the first game, For example, him believing Maleficent's words about Sora having abandoned him when just minutes ago Sora just told him he'd been searching for him all this time and even offered Riku the chance to join up with them.

Also somewhat unrelated but since he was able to lift it up over one eye without transforming during his first meeting with Xion in Days I'm not sure why he even needed the blindfold when an eye-patch probably would have worked just as well.

It's because Nomura thought Riku would look cool wearing a blindfold in the secret ending of KH:FM

That makes sense, and speaking of which it might be nice if we got a chance to explore the actual town Sora and Riku lived in rather than just the island itself (I think we got a small glimpse of it at the end of BBS and a shot of Sora's bedroom in the first game but that's it).

Helim needed to be invisible.
Before reading the above posts I didn't know I wanted to explore the suburban mainland of Destiny Islands, but, as it turns out, I do. Desperately.

I suppose it's not impossible that we'll see more of it in KH3 considering Xehanort's connection to the place, but I think we'll have to be satisfied with just Daybreak Town.

Yes it is and all the games shown are based off of actual Game & Watch titles. Seems weird to reference a Nintendo-made product in a game that's not getting a Switch release (that I know of anyway) but it's interesting none the less.

Man, I hope not. Smash 4 was not all that fun for me after I rushed to buy it after they put Mega Man in. The exact same thing will happen if they put Sora in the new one. Same for the new Dissidia that wasn't very fun.

From what I remember, the town and beach in KH2 Destiny Islands were actual physical places you could go to by hacking, but the buildings were smaller than the character models because obviously you aren't supposed to be there. But in that sense we do kind of know what the island where people live looks like.

EDIT: I just looked it up to double check and I was wrong about the building models.

It was Plundersaurus Rex's dream to be the greatest pirate dragon ever.

Everglow put up the first video of his Kingdom Hearts Timeline here which seems to be putting all the important cutscenes in chronological order. This one’s a proclick for the inarguably best character, the Master of Masters.

How the gently caress isn't he the main villain he's great

ACES CURE PLANES

There's still a chance he could be the main villain, maybe he'll even be the villain for the next ten games or whatever.

Or he could be a good guy who set up everything so Sora would eventually win. Or neither. So long as he has more appearances, I don't think I'd care either way.

Just so that he can run into Sora and become INCREASINGLY angry and frustrated that Sora is too loving dumb to manipulate.

"He just keeps killing everything that gets in his way and doesn't understand a word I say! What the gently caress am I supposed to do with this!"

MoM is wearing the same black coat that literally every OC bad guy has worn throughout the series so far, and the only good characters that wore them briefly flung them off at their nearest convenience, whereas this guy chooses to go around dressed in it. He's evil as gently caress
