    How popular is Kingdom Hearts music? How would you feel if it was played on the radio, in a store, and public places in general?

    I just heard simple and clean in a Walmart and wanted to know other people's opinions on it. (Update: It is being played a second time, the same day)

    Am I the only one who doesn't really mind the opening to KH2?

    Posted: 26 Sep 2021 04:47 PM PDT

    I kind of enjoy the slower pace to the game, as opposed to how quick everything moves in the first few hours of 1. Yeah the stuff you do can be pretty uninteresting, but I appreciate how they took the time to setup and establish Twilight Town, instead of giving basically nothing like they did with Traverse Town. I dunno, maybe I'm just weird.

    I'm still confused. What exactly is Kingdom hearts?

    Posted: 26 Sep 2021 05:06 PM PDT

    is it an Physical object? is it a Place? Is it like a soul thingy with With a will?

    I just want to share that I was able to beat all the Organization and Lingering Will in KH2.

    Posted: 26 Sep 2021 06:03 PM PDT

    It was really hard. Stitch came in handy for sure. Especially against Lingering Will. I also used a lot of strike raid spam particularly against Roxas.

    Vexen, Axel, and Saix were the hardest fights for me, never actually figured out how to beat Saix really so I ended up cheesing him with jump attacks.

    What if keyblade wielders could teleport to their keyblades

    Posted: 26 Sep 2021 04:11 PM PDT

    We've seen them throw and catch them or even call them back when to far to grab but we haven't seen them literally teleport to that blades area which would be cool gameplay wise

    Picking up 2.5 again after not playing anything in the series for years, and shit the title screen music alone got me so emotional. This series has one of the best OSTs of all time

    Donald, you big palookah

    Posted: 26 Sep 2021 08:50 PM PDT

    Playing through Re:COM, just beat Riku after getting all the mini game achievements in 100 acre wood;and Donald, can you please just shut up about the King for 5 minutes? Sora thinks that his best friend for years (and the person he's falsely remembering but that's a whole 'nother story) actually hate his guts and doesn't want to see him again.

    But no, Donald does not shut up about the King. Ever. Can't a kid take time to process the grief of losing (not really) a friendship? With out your quackin' ass yelling about finding the King?

    [Discussion] I Want Another Kingdom Hearts Collection - This Time With a Greater Emphasis on Preservation

    Posted: 26 Sep 2021 01:51 PM PDT

    Now, don't get me wrong, I think 1.5, 2.5, and 2.8 did a great deal correctly when bringing the series to modern consoles. The fact that I can play KH2FM on a my TV in 4K 60FPS still feels pretty wild to me, since I remember the days when I was a teenager when playing any of the Final Mixes outside of Japan was difficult and expensive to do, outside of emulation. But, as time moves on, I do think I want a new collection that places a greater emphasis on preserving the greater history of the games in this series.

    A few weeks ago I watched this GDC talk from 2016: "It's Just Emulation!" - The Challenge of Selling Old Games. I highly recommend giving this whole thing a watch, but for the purpose of this post I'd recommend watching at least the segment on "boutique packages" for video games, including a discussion of how the Megaman Legacy Collection was put together to include a lot of additional content outside of just the games that helps preserve the history surrounding those games. If you don't want to watch the whole talk, please check out at least the segment from around 32:42 to 38:08.

    I'd like the Kingdom Hearts series to get that "boutique package" treatment. The original versions of the games on PS2, PSP, and 3DS games are quite different from their modern counterparts. Most of these changes are things people agree are for the better (1080p/4K resolution, higher res textures, modern anti-aliasing techniques, etc.), but there's also a lot of things that are not definitively better that were changed as well (orchestrated soundtracks, character model changes, enemy color palette swaps). In the end though, which changes are better or worse isn't what games preservation should be about, and is a moot point of discussion when talking about what should be made accessible for fans and newcomers alike.

    Here are some ideas of what I'd like out of a theoretical "boutique package" or the series:

    • 4:3 & 16:9 toggle for gameplay & cutscenes (some cutscenes are cropped in 16:9, this would allow the whole original frame to be seen)
    • 30 FPS & 60FPS toggle
    • ability to launch OG or Final Mix versions of the games (bringing back OG title screen art and original heartless color palettes to modern consoles)
    • toggle for character models changed between PS2 and HD remixes (most notably Sora and Ansem SoD use the models made for Dream Drop in the HD remixes)
    • toggle for orchestrated and original soundtracks
    • art galleries with loads of promo art and Ultimania content

    And outside of the main playable games in the HD collections, I think it would be amazing to bring all of the games on lesser hardware to modern consoles through emulation. Fortunately, none of the DS games really need the touchscreen to remain playable, and the touchscreen menus could easily be programmed to use regular inputs. The Wii U had a DS virtual console the gave players several options with how to display the top and bottom screens on their TVs, and I think adapting similar options to allow 358/2 Days and re:Coded to be played on a television would be awesome. Even if we somehow receive proper remakes of these games are some point (which I doubt will ever happen), making the original versions playable on modern hardware should still be important. Which brings me to....

    I want the original version of Chain of Memories for the GBA to be playable on modern hardware. Plenty of sprite based GBA games are playable on modern hardware via emulation that just blows up the original image to a modern resolution. GBA CoM and Re:CoM are very different products, and I think it is a shame that the GBA version has been confined to one handheld since 2004.

    But let's go deeper. Why not give fans a way to play the original Kingdom Hearts Coded that was exclusive to a specific Japanese phone on modern hardware? Looking up gameplay of KH coded, it plays completely different from what eventually became re:Coded. It'd be incredibly interesting to be able to play the original version of this game.

    As I said at the beginning on this, I do think the modern collections are good. Great even! But I think a series that is so adored like Kingdom Hearts deserves something a bit more "boutique" that really preserves all the different versions of these game and their history.

    Also, I just wanted to say it's a crime that I've never been able to play Kingdom Hearts V Cast and this needs to be rectified as soon as possible.
