This might be a dumb question but it’s at least the right place to ask it:

I’m trying to track down a Kingdom Hearts song, it’s a fairly solemn one with some light background singing and a piano melody where the main notes are “Bflat, D, C, G D”. It’s a really common series theme and it for sure shows up towards the end of Dream Drop Distance when Riku and Mickey bust in on the Organization XIII meet and greet. Does that ring any bells to anyone?

I like that the plot of this series can now be described as Leonard Nimoy and his 12 Leonard Nimoys trying to bring about Ragnarok

I'm finished with 0.2 so I guess I just gotta watch back cover and I'm caught up entirely. How long is that anyway?

And man, now I'm super curious as to what causes Aqua to fall. Literally every ending of her in the shadow realm has her swear to be the guiding light and how her resolve will never falter so uh, what happened lady?

Did you fight the secret bonus boss?

she admit’s she’s breaking and the darkness is taking her

Nobody said Mark Hamill’s character was particularly bright in that game, only that he was Mark Hamill

While the combat in the KH3 trailers looks good I have very low expectations for it.

Something or someone changed in the KH development team somewhere along the line of KH2.

KH1-Chain of Memories-KH2 rewarded you for learning boss patterns and tells and how to counter them, while also having the option to just be a little bitch and spam Reflega if you were somehow in this just for the story (you poor poor bastard)

Starting BBS bosses started operating on "flashy is cool" mode and just kept spamming poo poo over and over at you, resulting in the worst offender of Mysterious Figure where I have yet to find a video where the strategy didn't rely on "spam dodge roll till an opening, hit 1-2 times, keep spamming dodge roll". People say this is a very hard boss. I call it uninteresting.

Kingdom Hearts games after 2 are handled by some team in Osaka apparently.

Unfortunately I think they’re doing 3 as well, hopefully they’ve learned a bit since then?

E: They also did the Phantom Aqua fight in 0.2 though and that’s probably a decent reference for what the new one will be like

If the KH is gonna survive after 3 it's gonna have to start getting creative with its worlds. Give me a Blank Check and The Big Green worlds Square enix

It took 15 years to go through from 2 to 3, the world has a real likelihood of dying from climate change/nuclear war before 4

I feel like Agrabah and Olympus are up there in all of the games, Olympus in particular

I like how they just randomly decided to pick on Vexen to be made evil again. Good to see Demyx back too. And I guess Roxas or Ventus also get the darkness treatment. So that's like, fifteen members?

Aqua's almost certainly getting turned back before the climactic fight so she needs a replacement

It doesn't really feel like a 13 year wait to me, since BBS and 3D were basically main entries anyways.

Game looks dope though and I can't wait for it.

this is an absurdly long video but i ended up wathcing all of it

what the gently caress happened in BBS, this poo poo went off the rails SO hard

Leonard Nimoy’s grand plan was to make the Haley Joel Osments do the fusion dance while he got himself a killer new set of abs.

His plan was derailed by the one competent person who didn’t have brain worms, he got mindwiped and a bunch of people fell into darkness including the one competent person who had grown herself a fresh new brain worm.

so from what i gather, everyone in kingdom hearts is sora and if they're not sora they're xehanort who is everyone from every time and then there's also mickey who is shirtless which is a weird thing to explain as canon given how much of kh1 they destroyed

A couple of people are also Kairi but yeah that’s pretty much accurate

E: And another one is Aqua whose life just kinda sucks

Most people don’t get Xehanort style heartless, they just get the shadow blobs.

And lord knows Sora has killed enough that the Org heartless were probably among them.

Yeah, KH3 is just the end of the story that the first game started. I have little doubt they're going to continue beyond it after this.

Doing otherwise means giving up boatloads of money for a company that is a little...short on money at the moment.

Sora will be forever stuck as an ageless 15 year old on a Sisyphean trek of power loss

I sincerely don’t mean this to be offensive, but it’s totally unrealistic to be catering towards people who are AAA-console gamers but don’t have an internet connection in 2018. The internet will only become more available as time goes on, and while their are rural pockets in many countries with limited access, those people are an increasing minority, and shouldn’t hamstring everyone else in the modern world, IMO.

If it really comes down to it, surely the same store they purchased their console or game at would allow them 5 minutes of WiFi to update and patch their console before taking it home?

When does it become totally unrealistic to not expect companies to compress their poo poo properly? Or for, god forbid, a AAA game to be feature complete and not filled with bugs at release?

Why have people just been conditioned to be ok with that?

It's a shame they did not finish writing the game in time to get Nimoy to do Master Xehanort. His new voice just does not have Nimoy's intensity.

They should get Frank Welker doing it, honestly, I'm sure there are similarities between Megatron and Xehanort if you squint hard enough

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.

I mean, minus having lost his powers for the Xth time
