Kingdom Hearts 1 is an exercise in running around in circles until the next cutscene triggers somehow

ACES CURE PLANES posted:Playing KH3D and god drat but this battle music kinda makes me want to mute the whole drat game, it's really bad. While I felt BBS was alright and its drawbacks can be explained away by the original PSP format, something definitely went awry with 3D. And by that I mean it would have been perfectly fine if not for the fact that standard player attacks have probably the lowest priority I've ever seen in a game. The keyblade is deflected/interrupted by basically anything and everything any given enemy does. I don't recall picking up on it the first time around on the 3DS, but on the PS4 it's really jarring to see Sora recoil because you attacked while the enemy was in the middle of doing something, anything at all.

Kurtofan posted:Finished kh1, onwards to chain of memories While they managed to touch it up a little bit for the PS2 remake, the original Chain of Memories is one of the few games to qualify as a war crime. If you ever have the impulse to throw that game straight in the trash and YouTube the cutscenes, do that. If you don't feel so compelled, more power to you

I got my sister started on KH2 over Christmas and it's great. The Roxas prologue is great. The plot is absolute dogshit but you know. At least it sets up Birth By Sleep. Which is good.

If the film references 2004 events (as per the wiki article), that would put filming pretty close to, if not later than, KH2 dubbing. Could still be the cause though.

Yeah, Eraqus' deal is that he's supposed to punish you for all-out aggression all the time. Dodge, watch his patterns, but most importantly equip a bunch of Surge and Curaga commands and make sure you have Leaf Bracer/Once More/Second Chance support skills.

Returning to DDD kind of soured me on that game, but if you haven't beaten it I suppose you should. And Aqua's bit is worth the price of admission alone if you're posting in this thread, probably.

I was getting pretty jazzed about a potential mid-Q3 release for the game, since screenshot comparisons show that they're evidently already in the process of simplifying environments in cutscenes to hit performance targets and then quote:1) Development is thought of as split into three parts – beginning, middle and end. Part one is 90% complete. Part two is about 60-70%. Part 3 did not get a percentage. Nomura confirms that he is working on “something incredible” for that final world, something he has always wanted to do ever since his Final Fantasy days.

For all his faults, Nomura's background as a character designer is what we have to thank for the abundance and consistency of visual symbols in Kingdom Hearts and how closely they integrate with the plot. It's easily the coolest part of Kingdom Hearts from an execution standpoint, divorced from the crossover premise.

The ritual does include the phrase "through this simple act of taking", so I assume keyblades are just highly contagious

HGH posted:That kinda reminds me, I gave up on Unchained/Union Cross ages ago but I think they made it a point that the reason everybody got keyblades like candy back then was cause they were artificial in some way? Or at least not "earned". Considering the Keyblade War altered the ontological structure of the world, it might be a moot point. Back Cover strongly implies all keyblades (beginning with the Union Leaders') originated from the Master of Masters.

In KH3 they seem to be less D-Links and more traditional Summons by another name.

Like Aqua reaching for Sora's hand at the end of the 0.2 opening, I imagine that trailer was signaling that they're tying BBS' plot and Aqua as a character into the mainline narrative, rather than a depiction of something that actually happens.

The flashback is implied to have taken place several decades earlier, they just didn't bother making younger-looking character models for them. Eraqus getting over the facial scarring in that time isn't inconceivable, and poor judgment is sort of a defining character trait.

I wouldn't have said anything if previous posters hadn't been mildly positive, but now I am compelled to warn you; CoM is one of the worst games ever made and will make you want to die. YouTube it.

Aqua is made out of paper and is definitely a difficulty spike even after completing Terra and Ventus' campaigns.

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.

My personal utterly-implausible pet theory is that everything pre-Keyblade War is a dream... Somehow. Chirithy having the Dream Eater mark and such. Master of Masters disappears because he wakes up.

Something always bothered me about Skuld's name but it took me until now to realize that it's because it's "skuld", the old Norse/modern Swedish word for guilt (and/or debt).

It took me until a few minutes ago to piece together the many not-so-subtle insinuations that the mobile game is currently set after the Keyblade War, rather than before. I did think it was strange, the way cutscenes were suddenly mostly flash-forwards.... I'm too dumb for this goddamn lore.

# ¿ May 12, 2018 17:02 |

It cleanly explains why the worlds you visit in the mobile game are "holographic projections" for no good reason (the deception necessitates it since traveling to the actual places would reveal that they're separate worlds now) and why Mickey and the gang make a cameo in the Gummi Ship, and gummi as a material -- the membrane separating worlds -- probably didn't even exist before the Keyblade War.

Larryb posted:I'm actually not sure what Sora's job is this time around since Riku and Mickey are off looking for Aqua and Kairi's busy training with Lea. Yen Sid seems to have very deliberately shifted any and all important tasks away from Sora at this point, which seems, you know, wise. IIRC almost drinking the Xehanort kool-aid in Dream Drop Distance crippled him in some way and in KHIII he's just off to Herculesland for rehab, because we need plot reasons for resetting power progression between games in tyool 2018 apparently. I'm assuming he'll get swept up in Maleficent's Quest for the Box and deal with Ventus and Terra mostly by accident along the way.

Larryb posted:Though if you take BBS at face value and accept that just touching a Keyblade is enough to become a wielder then technically wouldn't that mean that Leon and Jack Sparrow now have the potential to use one too? Naw, it only works if you've got the makings. Leon and Jack are punks.
