It seems weird that Christopher Lee was able to reprise Ansem in 358/2 Days but not the more-important plotwise BBS and DDD. Maybe it was an actor scheduling issue. Or maybe they blew the budget on glitter for those last two games.

I desperately want to see a Princess and the Frog level, because the aesthetics would be gorgeous. And Tangled because I want Rapunzel the kick rear end with her hair as a party member. Please, no more Coliseum, though. I've been through it so many times I hear the overture in my nightmares.

Late to chime in, but while Terra>Ven>Aqua is the "correct" way, if you're not super spoiled storywise, I think it's also interesting to leave Terra for last since he veers off on such a different path. Aqua and Ven both have some "what the HELL is Terra doing without us" moments, so it might be fun to leave those details a mystery until last.

Riku definitely had character growth before this game, but one of the things I liked about DDD is that he got to do more than chase after Sora or work desperately to make sure Sora could wake up. What's he going to do and who's he going to be when he's not a total dick or atoning for being a total dick? We got to find out. He still probably would have deserved it if Roxas had clocked him one on the heartbeach but we can't have everything.

It's basically Days: The Movie. Which I think is loving fabulous, since Roxas is my favorite KH protag. I know I want to get it, I'm just torn between importing it sooner or waiting until we're 100% sure it's not coming out in NA. (Yeah, I know, I know, but that last little spark of hope isn't completely extinguished yet.)

Riosan posted:Same here, and it's great because no one ever has to play 358/2 Days again. The story's essential in the grand scheme of things, but I've never wanted to play Agrabah again in any incarnation since slogging through it in Days. That loving mission where you have to follow Pete around and not get caught. loving gently caress. I hate that poo poo. Incidentally, I can't wait to see the "Roxas, that's a stick" scene in full HD cutscenes melodicwaffle, you're so right. I love my DS, but my thumbs bears a huge grudge.

Blackbelt Bobman posted:No, KH HD 1.5 ReMIX is completely in Japanese, in spite of being the Final Mix version of KH. Plus, the Japanese release is coming out in March—I don't know a ton about voiceover recording schedules for video games, but if Jesse etc. were recording an English track just for Japan, wouldn't they be done already?

Yeah, it's a cowboy. A group of friends and I watched the movie on a bigscreen this weekend and we paused it at this section specifically to check. The cowboy does have Sora's original color scheme, though.

Pureauthor posted:Recommended play order is Terra -> Ventus -> Aqua. Alternatively, Ventus and Aqua spend a fair amount of time all HMMM I WONDER WHAT TERRA IS UP TO RIGHT NOW and reacting to some of his actions, so it could be interesting to play Ven -> Aqua -> Terra to kind of leave a little suspense there.

I enjoyed playing all three, so I didn't see Terra's playstyle as a hump to get over. The closest thing I'd view in that way is Aqua's initial squishiness, but 15 minutes of leveling in the Castle of Dreams hallway takes care of that.

Squirtle Squadee posted:I'm a little late on finding out about 1.5, but I just came to say how angry I am that Birth By Sleep wasn't included in the game. I really didn't want to read an LP because I wanted to enjoy it for myself, but it looks like I'm never going to get to play that game. Why would it be included in the first remix? It's a prequel, but that doesn't mean it works played first chronologically. And yeah, it's totally going to be in the next one. I'd bet money that Remix 2.5 is KH2 and BBS with re: Coded getting cutscenes like Days or something.

As someone who loved Roxas and had a bit of a grudge against Sora for basically eating him (after I got to see his backstory in Days, at least), Roxas' capacity to wipe the floor with him in that fight made me a bit on his behalf.

Well, not like that was a ridiculous assumption to make. KH does have a lot of anime face going on. But yeah, if you swap Sora's hair out for the blond spikes, they're the same. (Though I believe BBS had a slightly tweaked model for Ventus.)

Fojar38 posted:Xemnas was Xehanort and Terra's Nobody, and there's an extra cutscene in KHII:FM+ emphasizing it. Why on earth would you think it's a coincidence? It's absolutely intentional. Yoko Shimomura weaves a lot of connected characters' themes into each other.
|
# ¿ Jun 8, 2014 06:27 |

Sure, but by the time Terra's theme needed to be composed, the Terra-Xemnas connection was a known thing, so that's why the similarities were included. You're thinking of it backwards.

I always figured they were all capable of growing hearts back, but some were farther along in that process than others, and certain things seemed to speed up the process—Axel is definitely a lot more capable of emotion by the end of Days than when he first starts hanging out with Roxas, for sure. It's been a while since I played it, but I believe there's a line in DDD that says more or less this same thing. (And for desperate fan rationalizations, it just works better than assuming they all 100% have fully-grown hearts again and just think they don't.)

And then there was bugged Data Roxas who was made of infuriating bullshit.

I always liked that Roxas was such an aggressive, tough boss. The poor kid went through so much and got jerked around his whole life and only "woke up" when his best friend died. It wasn't Sora's fault, but I'd want to beat the guy up too.

HGH posted:Not an actual bug, he means the literal bug block enemy feature that was part of the game. As his health decreases Roxas'll cycle between different colors that give him different abilities, which are increased defense/health, super speed, double damage, and turning giant. She, but yeah this. Winning that fight gets you the Ultima Keyblade, but I just shrugged and tossed it aside. Bugged Roxas is the toughest fight in the game, what the gently caress else am I supposed to use it on?

I know I'm in the minority, but I liked KH2 better after I played Days. I was interested in what happened with Roxas, but we only got the barest glimpses of what he ever did with the Organization. It was unsatisfying.Pixeltendo posted:Sure, although if I did have to pick a Marvel world, I'd go with Thor or Guardian of the galaxies first, they could get away easier with locations from them since Asgard and space aren't exactly population heavy.
