In my opinion you can read a good summary of 358/2 and re:Coded. Even just watching the cutscenes is a painful experience.

With so little time until release I’d even do KH1 theater mode since it’s the one game that’s unlocked for at the start. The other ones you have to play through first.

When I’m leading up to Monstro I always think of the Lord Jabu Jabu’s Belly dungeon from OOT which I hate so much. Then I actually play it and realize that’s not the same place and feel better about it.

KH2 in general has a lot of weight to your movements so Sora controlled perfectly. He could transition from air combos to ground combos smooth as butter and fights had a general flow to it.

When I heard Nomura wanted to use a KH like combat system for FF15 I was loving stoked. Then I played it and wept.

Don’t know if I want to play 0.2 right away or not. I have given up on knowing or understanding the plot other than broad strokes, not to mention I bounced off BBS every time I played it. Maybe playing 2FM will get me in the mood to try it again.

More than anything else I hope they do not do Kairi dirty again in 3.

they are totally going to gently caress up kairi again

There is barely a plot. It’s just a good way to see the new engine.

I never got the idea that the Master of Masters was malevolent at all even though he was purposely vague. He just seems like a chill dude who came across some knowledge of an impending event and wanted to make sure people were ready for it even though he didn’t understand it himself.

Larryb posted:

I've never played the mobile game, does it ever explain exactly who the real prophesied traitor actually was?

Nah. As far as connections to the movie it really only involves the unions and the leaders themselves as it goes into the keyblade war, but the interesting stuff is outside of the movie. Ventus’s introduction and Marlixia and Larxene’s “human” introductions are pretty cool but even those haven’t been truly connected to the main games yet.

Edit: I will add that the gameplay is definitely a mobile game and in my opinion is not very fun. The story does seem kind of important at the moment if you’re a lore nerd though, so definitely read some summaries if that’s your thing. It’s also farther along in Japan than here.

I saw him as similar to Sora. A very optimistic guy who likes exploring and has a lot of faith in his friends. If the animal crew had an equal amount of faith in each other as the Master did, things would have worked out better.

Watch him be a time displaced adult Sora.

I’ve seen a lot of articles mention that at the time KH was released they needed the FF characters to bring fans of the series to a game of mostly OC and Disney characters. Now that the OC stand on their own the FF ones don’t really need much of a role.

7) Birth By Sleep

10) χ
11) Union Cross
12) A Fragmentary Passage

Didn’t it go X > Unchained X > Union X[Cross] though?

Edit: Wikipedia considers KH3 number 12, so they appear to be considering the mobile game just one collective game.

Yeah I suppose I was forgetting Riku's revelation at the end of 2 and just sort of assumed he was a special exception. Like yeah Xehanort pushing the idea of balance to Terra was obvious bullshitting on his part but in context Eraqus seems to be very much on the "eradicate all darkness" end of the scale which makes it seem like balance is an impossible task. The "good guy" says nuh uh no darkness for you while the obvious hella evil villain says hey maybe moderate darkness, so it's easy to assume the game's overall message is meant to be "literally if you have more than 1% darkness you're loving up" if you assume you're meant to side with "good guy" Eraqus on the matter. But hey he's dead so gently caress 'em. Except probably not because nobody dies in this series.

I think during the beginning of BBS you think “Oh he’s just an old man who has some fringe theories about the darkness!” but by the end of DDD you realize that’s a big “lol no”.

So if Xehanort merged with Terra, then Terra-nort splits into Ansem and Xemnas, Does that mean each is a half Terra or a quarter Terra?

aegof posted:

Ansem gave up his body, and is always either using Riku's or is a metaphysical projection from within Riku's heart, so he's not much of Terra at all.

And I'm pretty sure Nobodies aren't literally the person's heart-less corpse getting up and running around, so I don't think there's any Terra in there either.

The fact that this doesn’t make any more sense to me as to where Terra’s consciousness currently is genuinely makes me happy.

When you think about it, this whole mess was caused by Xehanort's parents. Like, why would you give your son such an obviously evil name? It would be like naming your child Judas, what did you think would happen?

Maybe if the parents of children living on Destiny Isles were actually present in their lives we could have avoided all of this.

Master of Masters and Luxu repping the black coat. Significant or lazy character design?

Even though they’ve given the coat a purpose in lore, it’s clearly mostly used as a way to introduce a character and create suspense on who it is underneath the hood. Then they’re allowed to keep the hood down after that.

I want to say mine are separate. And that’s not the new bundle. That’s the two separate releases for both consoles. I may be wrong though and don’t have access to my console right now. When I get a chance I’ll come back and edit this with my confirmation.

Unironically I think half of her love is just people seeing her as a good waifu because she lacks greatly in character and even in Birth by Sleep she didn't do much of note or importance. Since Birth by Sleep she's done absolutely nothing but just wander about the Real of Darkness for over a decade and muttering cheesy monologues to herself.

I personally just think she’s a lot of fun to play. It’s nice to have someone who really benefits from a magic based play style and doesn’t just hit people with a keyblade most the time. They’re something very satisfying about wrecking entire groups with massive magic damage. Plus her cartwheel dodge is OP.

Aqua gets a lot of crap for rescuing Terra-nort from falling into the darkness and sacrificing herself instead, but I don’t think that would of prevented anything. It would only be a matter of type before he escaped the realm, but would have been soaking up darkness like a sponge that entire time.
