    What do you all think of Kingdom Hearts III after almost 2 years since its release?

    Posted: 05 Dec 2020 01:14 PM PST

    I liked it overall. I'd give it an 8/10. However I agree with the sentiment that it fell a bit short as the finale to a 15+ year saga.

    I came up with some reasons as to why it could have fallen short:

    1. The development team ("Osaka Team") behind the game had been working on nothing handheld KH games. The only KH console game they made was Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories back on the ps2 (a remake of the GBA game with reused assets from KH1 and KH2). Going from that to a modern, AAA game was probably a bit rough for them and I can see why it didn't feel like the most epic, jaw dropping finale that many fans dreamed of.
    2. They switched game engines over a year (about 18 months) into development. Originally, they were using the Luminous Engine, but higher ups at Square Enix told them to switch to Unreal Engine 4. Don't get me wrong, switching to Unreal Engine 4 was probably a good decision since Luminous Engine was causing development hiccups/problems for Final Fantasy 15. But they still lost over a year of development time and assumedly had to scrap all of the work they had completed up to that point. Maybe with more time, we could have gotten a more fulfilling last portion (Last few Disney Worlds like the Carribean, Sanfransokyo, and Pooh's Storybook felt a bit compromised/undercooked/rushed as well as some of the KH original worlds like Twilight Town and Scala Ad Caelum).
    3. This one is just conjecture, but I think Disney was harder to work with this time around than in previous games. Often times it felt like Sora, Donald, and Goofy couldn't participate in the stories of the Disney worlds in the game that followed the movie plot (Caribbean, Kingdom of Corona, and especially Arrendelle). Sora, Donald, and Goofy felt a bit too much like background characters. I liked the worlds that weaved the overarching KH plot/story (Monstropolis, ToyBox, and Sanfransokyo) into the worlds' stories. KH1 still beats KH2 and 3 in this aspect imo.
    4. This is also conjecture: Nomura was still probably a bit upset about being kicked off of Final Fantasy Versus 13 (now called "Final Fantasy 15"). Final Fantasy 15 was a game that didn't really go anywhere development wise because of the internal management problems that were going on in Square. The Crystal Tools game engine they created for PS3, Xbox 360, PC, and Wii games was pretty much a mess. Final Fantasy 13 which was using Crystal tools was having all sorts of development issues, Final Fantasy 14 1.0 launched and was a huge disaster (it had so many problems for players at launch). They also kept taking people from Nomura's team (Versus 13 team) to help with those other teams with their issues.

    I think KH3 ReMind DLC was a huge improvement in boss/game design and shows me that the team had learned what worked and didn't work from their experience working on KH3. I think KH4 will potentially be even better. I just hope Nomura and the team have a clear vision of where they want to go with the story, the characters, the villians, Yozora, etc. I just want them to plan this out better.

    Anyway, that's enough of me rambling. I'd like to hear your thoughts.

    The ignored hidden reports

    Posted: 05 Dec 2020 05:28 PM PST

    tbh this post might just be stupid rambling but i think its point still stands

    So when I was scrolling through youtube I saw a video that I somehow never saw. It was a theory from lockstick and gnoggin about why namine existed. Before watching the video, my eyes were for some reason attracted towards the description, which stated,

    "I mean think about it, at first glance this makes no sense, so how does the game go about explaining it? Oh, it doesn't? I guess we'll have to piece together why ourselves."

    So what I first thought was, "What is he talking about? This was explained by the ansem secret report, along with why she has her memory powers." He proceeded to explain almost exactly like the secret ansem report did.

    So I was wondering, why make a theory about something while ignoring information that was presented? Wouldn't that be the same as criticizing the last of us' zombies by calling them unexplained and unrealistic despite the notes that the game lets you read explaining them clearly? How many more people ignore these reports yet still criticize the story for not directly answering questions that the reports explain? And the most important question of all...

    When will I stop rambling?

    Namine in a Blue Dress by Destiny-Islanders

    Posted: 05 Dec 2020 08:05 AM PST

    I did it! I no damaged my first superboss!

    Posted: 05 Dec 2020 10:13 AM PST

    I've beaten Yozora without taking any damage whatsoever, and I couldn't be happier considering my last try before this one had me screw up on the very last phase!

    Actually, did I no damage it or no hit it? Still trying to understand the distinction.

    A theory, is Kingdom Hearts a Portal to other worlds like Shibuya, But also very different.

    Posted: 05 Dec 2020 07:30 PM PST

    I was in deep thought thinking. " The moon gives way to an even greater light, though the light of the moon can be bright it is merely a guide, the path to dawn." And then I thought to myself what if the moon (sarcastically ofc, I don't really believe off, lol) was a portal to another world. [SPOILER]What if the Keyblade warriors of old, spread the words " May your heart be your guiding key" as a secret hint to using one's heart to travel through Kingdom Hearts between worlds. And after countless battles, Sora will come to understand an even truer meaning to the power of waking. That all worlds are all part of something much greater, but under the same sky and the same destiny. Moving towards the light. From out the darkness into the dawn.
