Real talk: Birth by Sleep is the best game in the series, and it's not even close  Kingdom Hearts had a sense of charm and fun, replayability, exploration, a coherent story and bearable dialogue but the gameplay was not that great and poo poo like the Gummi Ships the camera and certain bosses was annoying as hell. KH2 made gameplay more fun but lacked the charm the first game had, with the Disney worlds being completely pointless to the main story and a story itself that just fell apart at the end. I never played 358/2 Days but I heard it was pointless too so whatever. Birth by Sleep has the best gameplay in the series thus far with the Deck Command system, more interesting protagonists than Sora some badass villains and a story that makes sense. We'll see how "Dream Drop Distance" (seriously Square Enix?) goes.

I never played standard but at least in Proud it is a flat difficulty throughout for regular Unversed. Where are you at right now and who are you playing with? I'd say the early game can be really difficult if you dont play cautiously but it gets easier after 2-3 worlds after you get more HP/Curagas/stronger commands. If youre getting killed by bosses a ton of Proud thats no biggie just level up more but if its regular monsters well that's no good. Some of the bosses on Proud are really goddamned hard so if you're having trouble beating random enemies than I might go with Standard. Keep in mind its very hard to unlock the secret ending on Standard mode if you care about that.

Like everyone else I didn't play Kingdom Hearts: Recoded so I missed this secret ending which is supposedly the prelude to this Dream Drop Distance poo poo. Basically Sora and Riku must become legit Keyblade masters. Slight spoilers if you didn't play Birth by Sleep, but nothing that would ruin the game for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ynCYkJc10I

D-Links are generally a lot more useful in the early game (Aqua D-Link has Cure!) when you don't have that many special commands of your own. Once you get to the end game and start Megaflaring and Raging Storming then D-Links are kinda useless

I love how everyone here has just embraced the madness and nonsensicality of Kingdom Hearts. I think people had too high of expectations after the original game and were let down by KH2. Now all the Norts and blatant fan service and retcons are approaching critical anime mass but everyones just rolling wit it

randombattle posted:What are you talking about Kairi is probably like the most said word outside of darkness in all of Kingdom Hearts. Seems like every drat game the universe is like WE GOTTA SAVE KAIRI! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vd5QZrJDV2U edit: I really think unless there is a change of plans hoping for worlds like Treasure Planet/Atlantis/The Black Cauldron/The Emperor's New Groove is a pipe dream, because popularity is a huge factor in how they choose the worlds. Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Tarzan, Lilo & Stitch, Cinderella, Peter Pan, etc...are all iconic and/or box office successes. Then there are the iconic films that are unfeasible as worlds (Bambi, Dumbo). Out of the remaining Disney films I think Pocahontas, The Jungle Book, and Robin Hood stand the best chance of making it into future Kingdom Hearts games, given that they are probably the most well known un-used Disney films remaining that could actually work as worlds. However they are running out of worlds, so they could: 1) Tap into Pixar films 2) Tap into unpopular/not as well known Disney films like the ones above 3) Keep using the same goddamn worlds as before like Agrabah and Halloween Town, but with original storylines 4) Use the same goddamn worlds with the same goddamn movie plot retreads. Or they could do something more drastic like introduce a lot more original worlds or more Square Enix-property worlds. I don't see that happening though.

As it stands I don't think any of the run of early 2000's Disney box office bombs (I'm talking to you, Treasure Planet, Atlantis: The Lost Empire and The Emperor's New Groove are making it in the Kingdom Hearts series, although they are running out of worlds. I have a feeling they would rather regurgitate poo poo like Halloween Town and Agrabah or start using Pixar worlds before they go for the flops. It's a shame, all 3 of those movies would make pretty cool and aesthetically unique worlds

Nomura says you should play Terra/Ven/Aqua. Most people here tend to agree because Terra's story is generally first and once you use Ven & Aqua it's very hard to go back to Terra.

Grump posted:Sora's cool because he's so classic Disney. Just a dopey kid that is extremely friendly with no ulterior motives. He just makes you feel good. That also made the scene right before the 1000 heartless fight in KHII so much better and actually made you feel bad for this kid. Warning: spoiler for DDD ahead I'm sure gamefaqs speculation is not looked upon too highly here but I thought this theory that Sora was going to turn Young Xehanort good through The Power of Friendship would be cool for the characterization as well as the irony of Master Xehanort's grand schemes being foiled by a younger version of himself: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/718920-kingdom-hearts-iii/69387222

The Unholy Ghost posted:How is Frozen and Toy Story levels a "nice to have" feature, they're more like a "put these in and make buckobucks" feature, something they're guaranteed to want to put some effort into. Well it's more like a "put the world in and people will buy it regardless of how good the world is" kind of thing, so they don't really have too much of an incentive to make the world that great. I'm sure Pirates of the Caribbean in KHII brought in a lot of fans, and that world sucked

Fojar38 posted:On the other hand that is in fact cooler and I always felt that the Vanitas concept should've been used for Sora's heartless (like Xehanort's heartless) instead of the wimpy shadow. Read a theory a few years back that Vanitas is responsible for Sora's anti-form. No idea why but it sounds cool in my head canon.

More NPC's really should be in Kingdom Hearts III as to make the worlds not seem so lifeless. Maybe not somewhere like Pride Lands, but in places like Radiant Garden and Twilight Town they should be walking around, even in combat areas. What's been their excuse for not having them before? Hardware limitations?

Allarion posted:Which again would be a shame considering 3D ended with saying that they would need 7 keyblade wielders and giving Lea and Kairi keyblades. Kairi would even make sense as the tutorial character for KH3. This was a popular theory after 3D came out, but given the trailers we've seen, I'm leaning towards Teenage Master Eraqus and Xehanort being the playable characters in the beginning.

From what I understand Frozen is insanely popular in Japan (google frozen japan for more), I'm not sure you need Disney's insistence as Square Enix would probably want to put it in the game anyways https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films_in_Japan

I just imagine the mark of the recusant being a key plot point, Mickey losing his shirt in the climax of 0.2, and the cape returning in BBS final mix all being the brainchild of Nomura making sure that clothes are closely integrated with the overarching storyline and cutscenes

Argue posted:Aladdin and Hercules are on separate planets/worlds/dimensions despite it being established in the Hercules TV series that Aladdin took place before Herc grew up, Mulan explicitly says China, and Beast's Castle is a separate world from City of Bells despite both being in France and Belle being in the crowd in the latter's film. This is probably the best way of doing a reboot after KH3, and making properties like The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and the Nightmare Before Christmas fresh in a KH context.

Gologle posted:Someone post the quote where Nomura thinks of Sora as his personal enemy. “I actually don’t sympathize or empathize with Sora at all,” Nomura says. Instead, he relates to the game’s mysterious villains, Xehanort or likely Ansem, anyone who’s fallen prey to their dark natures. “I think I’m closer to those characters, so Sora is like my enemy,” he says. “How I always think of him is I would unleash my attacks on him, and then I draw him in a way that I think he will be able to make a comeback at me. In that sense, I really think that Sora is just like an opposite personality character to who I am.”
