I need the dumbest Kingdom Hearts images as fast as possible.

>>713501669 (OP)
I can help you with this bump
I am starting this series, for context, I inherited the games from my sister (biological female).
Are these series really that unhinged?

Shut up, Donald, if I want to join in on the hakuna makata then you can't stop me, the locals finding out about other realities be damned

>>713501669 (OP)
Have this absolutely kino video from the past.

>>713501857
people play it up a little but yeah it gets off the rails pretty severely after 1
take its earnestness in stride and try to roll with the punches

>>713502612
In fairness, that world is where we learn that Mickey will happily send Pete into the Phantom Zone for cheating at kart races but never deigned to use it on anyone else ever again
That's sort of like the darkness

>>713501857
It's just FF/Star Wars/Shounen anime

Have you accepted Xion as best girl?

>>713501857
Every game after 1 gets convoluted with twists and story elements that attempt to explain said "twists" just absolutely insane off the the wall shit, think like a MGS game but add Disney and even MORE anime logic shit on it, with Final Fantasy sprinkled on top, yes.

>>713502762
I wonder if they forgot to add some NPCs walking around.

>>713501857
it starts off as a relatively simple light vs. dark story in 1 and very quickly escalates into being batshit insane in the sequels

Last I heard our group had over 9000 penises and they were all doing something but what that was escapes me

How's their style?

>>713502946
Sounds more like localizer bullshit

>>713501857
Not really. The series' plot is generally pretty easy to follow if you're playing in release order, at least until you hit KH3D and the plot debt and poor pacing begins to approach critical mass and implodes in KH3 thanks to development hell exacerbating the issue.

KH4 seems to be a sort of soft-reboot of sorts with a "new" villain, so it shouldn't be as bad going forwards.

These three fuckwits just coming back might be the worst part of the whole series

>>713503887
Nah, them coming back is based, the execution was just poor. Sora was never going to be okay with being a living prison for other peoples' hearts.

>>713503887
The entirety of 3's plot is "sora asks if he can try to use the mcguffin plot power to solve problems, gets laughed at and mocked by all his allies, goes and fucks about doing nothing for a few hours" six times over before he starts opening portals and whooping ass until the Dahaka clotheslines him and yeets him to Shibuya. Having it be that someone's heartless and nobody dying turns them back into a human is stupid but it's at least not structural cancer.

>>713503587
This is what happens when you shit on zippers and belts, you get wanna be Balenciaga.

>>713504062
Nomura has literally always been obsessed with Japanese street fashion trends. Belts and Zippers were unironically just the style of the time KH1/KH2 came out. Plaid got more popular recently, which is why it's slipped into KH and other Nomura projects like the designs he did for NEO TWEWY.

>>713503972
There is no good execution, the idea was stupid and only came about because the characters were popular
Sora already was ok with it because Roxas was ok with it

>>713504062
>you get wanna be Balenciaga.
Those are actually real clothes designed by a JP fashion brand named Super Groupies. You can buy them.

Does anybody have that fanfic that was posted years ago with hilarious shit like Xemnas saying he hates gays? It's all thumbnailed on the archive.

>>713504165
>Sora already was ok with it because Roxas was ok with it
He literally wasn't. He learns about it right at the very end of KH2 and he's already conflicted about it there. Even in KH2 they establish that Roxas is his own separate person with his own heart; Sora was literally always going to want to get the fucker out at some point, it should have just been in a less slapdash and lazy manner than they ended up doing.

Like, they should've had us going through a corrupted memory/data Twilight Town or something to collect pieces of Roxas and foreshadow The Final Worl, or something.

>>713504187
is that better or worse than Black Honey Chili Cookie being an IRL brand that got into NEO:TWEWY because Nomura is friends with the designer

Always get a chuckle out of seeing this dumb donlad picture

>>713503618
It's only easy to understand when you are a lorecuck that accepts handwaves as solid explanations.

>but why did sora's heart randomly reach out to ventus' heart when sora was never the "chosen one" and there were literally infinite other hearts that could have done that?
>ventus' heart was so powerful, that it formed a bond!

Fuck off with saying KH makes sense and doens't have plot holes. This is a worse explanation than nano machines.

3 still makes me mad to this day but I can't deny how much I enjoyed fighting Yozora.

What's wrong with 3? I haven't played it and don't care about spoilers, just interested.

Quick, claim your heartless.

>>713504196
I still prefer the KH worlds without NPCs. The NPC designs are pure shit, and it's super distracting. Have Jasmin/abu hanging around, but generic townspeople don't need to exist.

>>713504476
This guys was sick honestly, Nomura designed some cool shit around this era when he wasn't putting a bajillion belts and zippers on things.

>>713504392
>>"but why did that random door appear at the end of KH2 to save Sora/Riku?"
The "Dark Margin" is literally the edge of the Realm of Darkness and has been repeatedly shown to connect to the light world.
>>how did Kairi turn Sora back to normal after being a heartless
Kairi used Princess of Light hax to save Sora's heart from fading.
>>but how did maleficent just randomly reappear after death
This one actually gets an explanation that's so comically absurd in the mobile game that I'm not gonna bother explaining it here, but the concept of "Speak of the Devil" is an incredibly common trope in the old western cartoons Maleficent hails from.
>>but why did sora's heart randomly reach out to ventus' heart when sora was never the "chosen one" and there were literally infinite other hearts that could have done that?
Sora was being born right when Ventus was having his coma on Destiny Islands. It's literally just lucky coincidence, nothing to do with Ventus or Sora's hearts being "strong" beyond Sora being naturally gifted at making connections.

>>713504473
>>713504551
tl;dr is that it spends more time setting up for the next story than finishing the story it already had. The Disney worlds do not matter and the game is absurdly easy unless if you ignore certain game mechanics like attractions.

>>713504503
It took me several years but I finally defeated KH2 Sephie. Still have yet to defeat KH1's. If it makes any difference I did defeat Yozora in 3 Remind so that should make up for it.

>>713504583
fucking loser

>>713504473
90% of the game is Sora just spinning his wheels wondering how to not be a shitter. You could argue that most of the other games was filler but at least he used to go to other worlds in search of something instead of just having to find something to do while the Masters get to work on important stuff

>>713504551
>>713504473
KH3 went through some pretty bad dev hell and has some of the worst pacing issues in the series. They blatantly cut the main "big finale" world to try and get the game out on time and put what they had done for it in the DLC, and issues with Disney/Squeenix management lead to a lot of plot threads being saved for the last 4-ish hours of the game where they're wrapped up in some really unsatisfying ways at a breakneck pace.

Ignoring Master Xehanort's master plan and everything after 2, did he deserve to be called a villain? His goal involved killing heartless which was already what Sora was doing and building an artificial Kingdom Hearts to make nobodies whole again.

the best part of these games are pirate island, never land, and under the sea

>>713504705
Considering that the organization was actively creating heartless to speed their plans up, yes.

>>713504473
filler including xehanort being forgiven of all wrongdoings and going to Kingdom Hearts Heaven

>>713504762
>forgiven of all wrongdoings
This literally did not happen and people who parrot this shit are actively retarded.

>>713504473
gameplay was beyond shit
Since the main criticism about the series is that it's "mash X to win" they decided to fix that by CONSTANTLY flooding you with OP cinematic attacks that just delete enemy health bars and still amounts to basically just "mash x to win" but it's less depth but flashier.
retards will defend this by saying "you don't have to use the attraction flow, or team up attacks, or za spells, or keyblade transformations,etc" but the problem with that is that they made the enemies way too bulky and numerous, so that the only practical way to beat enemies is to smack them with the keyblade twice and let a cutscene do the rest of the work.

The plot was shit. The whole series suffered from "disney filler then plot" but this felt like the most egregious. The disney worlds were way too long so it felt like a lot of tedious disney filler before any plot. general direction of the cutscenes/voice acting seems to go downhill except when they were literally just remaking disney movies shot for shot. The plot referenced shitty pointless spinoffs because they are obsessed with integrating every game, including the fucking mobile gacha. 3 barely felt satisfying because it felt like an intermission to KH4, meanwhile KH1 and KH2 wrapped up ALL of their own respective plot threads up until that point.

Disney worlds sucked in general, which was almost all of the game. Toy story was fucking boring and repetitive. Frozen was the most offensive sin the entire series has commited. Tangled was a hallway with filler minigames. Pirates was kind of okay, but you have to like the ship controls. Big Hero 6 was a waste of development time, making a detailed open world city with nothing to do in it for a mediocre disney movie. Hercules felt like it was supposed to be part of 2.8 but got cut out.

>>713504815
>gameplay was beyond shit
It had some pretty bad fundamental issues, but I wouldn't call it "beyond shit". A "beyond shit" system would be impossible to wrangle into something fun, but KH3's DLC managed to do so.

>>713504796
He turned Kairi into a pile of crystal shards for Kirby to clean up, started a keyblade war to make a weapon that could wipe out reality, and he only stopped because Sora beat the tar out of him then Xehanort's ex-boyfriend burst out of Terra's chest to tell him he sucks at chess.

>>713504815
I'm still mad that the boss of toybox was a giant heartless and not Emperor Zurg.

>>713504861
I replayed it on PC and the remind integration mod to weave those stories into basegame progression works really well for making the game flow less like ass. It doesn't solve the combat being overly-aerial AoE spam with no ability to control positioning and fuckall for defensive options, but it's at least moderately less garbage.

>>713501669 (OP)
>thanks uncle scroodge

>>713504705
You're asking if xemnas specifically from KH2 deserved to be called a villain? yes of course. In the game his only explicit goal is to use Kingdom hearts to become whole or whatever, but it doesn't take a lot of thinking to figure out what he planned to do afterwards, which is remake the whole universe in his whole image or whatever xehanort's plan was. the fact that he allied with all of the other xehanorts supports that.

>>713502765
>Put those things back where they came from or so help me!

>>713504945
I really thing people calling KH3 "garbage" need to fix their standards. It's way too heavy on the AoE spam and the entire situation command system is dumb as hell and only made "okay" at best with Critical Converter, but it's still only like a 6/10 at worst. I wouldn't even call it as bad as BBS because at least your basic attacks are decently effective and reliably stagger most enemies, even if the sheer number of enemies hurts that option during larger mob fights.
KH3's actual greatest design sin is fucking Airstep. That shit needs to go in KH4 but I know it won't because retards fucking hate having to actually learn positioning in a game, as evidence by how many morons think KH2's combat is better designed than KH1.

Name the quote that lives rent free in your head.

>>713504861
I will say, to be fair, I never played the DLC. I didn't want to spend money to fix what shouldn't have been broken after 13 years of waiting.

I was tempted to give it a second chance, but I was turned off when I learned that proud mode in the base game is almost impossible to actually die, and there's no middle ground because apparently critical mode has a basic shadow heartless OHKO snipe you from 1 mile away.

>>713505095
For a long time I was in the KH2 > KH1 camp, but on my most recent replay a year or so ago I came away really respecting the amount of care put into KH1's level design for each movement ability Sora gets, and the tech system does a ton for rewarding the player both for figuring out how their moves can parry opponents but also finding elemental weaknesses. The puzzles like using gravity to pull down a flying chest or the recipes in Jane's camp in Deep Jungle add a layer of depth to the tools and make it feel like an actual RPG.

>>713505359
KH2 absolutely has more depth than 1, but there are still so many things 1 does really well. Most attacks are telegraphed so you don't feel like you get unfairly sniped (I played KH2 level 1 challenge and it was insane how many heartless just start sperging out with a 3 frame startup screen filling autistic flailing that would one shot you). Combine that with almost every attack in KH1 being parryable, and KH1 feels like it is always your fault when you get hit. Meanwhile KH2 even though it's good, sometimes relies too much on spamming invincibility cutscenes to manage mobs

>>713505136
>they'll pay for this
Is beyond living rent free in my head, I say it after every other minor inconvenience

>>713505521
The 1000 heartless fight has never been topped in the series. The attempt at recreating it in 3 fell flat.

>>713505653
That’s because you didn’t kill 1000 heartless there, you killed about 60 and some generic sprites

Not dumb but I'll just post it because it's in my folder.

>>713505653
Both were shit, I still don't get why people say 2's fight was good. It just involves spamming sparkle ray, or if you have "integrity" spamming X for 30 minutes

>>713505751
The rare npc you’ll probably never see

wish they went harder on the Sora x Roxas angle they were developing earlier on in the story

Is there any more info about that magical book that I think was in RE coded? Apparently Maleficent was afte some book that just let you alter reality or something like that? People swore that you had to play RE coded because that book would be important in 3.

>>713505136
There's no way you're taking Kairi's heart

>>713505784
I think people enjoyed it more for the spectacle of it and the story related purpose it served over how it actually played. That shit was impressive on the PS2.

>>713505634
>KH2 absolutely has more depth than 1
I genuinely, wholly fucking disagree. KH2 doesn't have anywhere NEAR the depth of KH1. Active abilities in KH2 are all given at static checkpoints, removing early/midgame build variation. Magic is functionally infinite if the player is willing to play like a pussy, which the game does nothing substantial to prevent outside of a handful of boss gimmicks. Defense is vastly less interesting with the removal of keyblade weight and the massive functional buffs to blocking, removing any semblance of choice between Block/Parry/Dodge Roll. Blocking ITSELF is wholly invalidated by Reflect so long as you have magic in damn near every circumstance beyond the 2-3 enemies with threatening enough ranged attacks to be worth saving the MP. Summons are far less situational and interesting beyond a handful of situations like Chicken Little having the niche use of being a proto-magnet for like one world before you get Magnet, a spell which handicaps most challenges arising from enemy positioning to a comical degree. I could go on.

People only think KH2 has more depth because it feels more like a standard, snappy action game, but in most cases that's to its active detriment as an ARPG. The way 90% of the encounters in the game are approached is vastly less interesting than KH1. KH1 only suffers that sort of problem in the TURBO lategame when you have shit like the Goofy MP Engine running, and by that point it's throwing shit like Behemoths and Invisibles and Darkballs at you.

>>713501669 (OP)
I watched a friend play through kh1 a long time ago and i watched a particular speech where all i remember was xehanort saying darkness 100 times
A fond memory

>>713506106
I agree, but one thing I will say is an improvement in 2 is that cure spam isn't as viable.

>>713506050
kh-vids intro. if you were watching cutscene clips on youtube it was probably them.

>>713506171
Frankly, Cure Spam is worse in KH2. KH1 cure spam only gets TRULY stupid once you get Leaf Bracer and have an MP engine like Goofy going, and even then it's still not infallible and generally requires you to be at least sort of active so you keep recovering magic during the process. KH2 allows you to run around the area and stall for MP recharge during all but the most aggressive endgame fights.

>>713506403
I think you're discounting the amount of flexibility in cure and summons sending you into MP recharge, which makes it easier to refill drive, and drive forms acting as an HP/MP refill. When you push the systems they really reward staying active.

>>713506651
It gave me a happy ending for Roxas and Xion, which is honestly the only thing I wanted from the game.
I shall not be playing Kingdom Hearts 4.

>>713506403
My perspective is almost assuredly biased because the last time I played KH2 was a level 1 critical run, but I don't remember exploiting mp recharge bar to be that viable. I remember hard fights where enemies would just teleport to me, or be so fast, or have such range that they'd still get me. I'd super glide around the hades cup, they'd get me. Multiple nobodies can teleport above you then slam down so that didn't work. Only time I did this viably was during the final boss, becuase there's just one enemy and the battle arena is fuckhuge massive.

>>713506651
>>In order to understand backstory you need to play mobile gacha (WHICH IS OFFLINE NOW)
I'm fucking pissed off about this shit. I was under the impression that back cover was a cinematic summary of the mobile game, it was practically marketed as "this one Ps4 game is the only thing you need before playing KH3." Then I found out that Back cover was just ANOTHER plot thread about the fucking gacha.

Now in KH3, Maleficent spent the whole fucking game just looking for a black box which amounted to nothing. She just walked off at the end. Why even include her in the fucking game.

>>713505784
Understanding why the Battle of 1000 Heartless is iconic requires putting it in the proper perspective and context of its time. Yes, the fight itself is nothing particularly special on a mechanical level; it's really just spamming reaction commands to thin the herd. But the sheer awe of the encounter, where you have to cut down a literal thousand enemies that are all contained simultaneously in a single giant arena, is what makes it memorable in spite of the actual moment to moment gameplay.

It was unthinkable to people that the PS2 hardware could handle that sort of thing; the development staff themselves didn't know if it could be done, and wondered if it would end up being cut (hell, they actually did cut the Behemoths and Wyverns that were supposed to be there). Even KH2's own cutscenes, up until that very moment, led you to believe that the game couldn't do it because so many like >>713502762 have abysmal NPC crowds or nothing at all. And then the Battle of 1000 Heartless actually happens and proves all those expectations wrong. It was a technical marvel for the time.

>>713507387

He was lying that whole time, since nature abhors a vacuum and the nobodies would naturally develop new hearts.

>>713504815
It's genuinely a good game, although I did find Proud mode to be fairly easy, aside from the Data bosses. Summons were nerfed, although a couple were still useful for endgame fights. Magic was heavily buffed. On proud mode, you can get end-game equipment that will essentially let you spam firaga/thundaga almost endlessly as long as you keep the combo going (good luck keeping that up against bosses, though).
The only worlds that were kinda meh are Twilight Town (highly detailed, but most of the map is blocked off. essentially the Ratatouille world) and the Frozen world. Everything else was top notch, especially the Pirates world.

still haven't played 3

maybe someday

Even before they said it out loud, Roxas and Axel very clearly had emotions in 2. Xemnas was gaslighting everyone. Including the playerbase.

God I fucking wish KH characters were just brutally raw and mean.

It is fine until they introduce time travel in dream drop distance, and then they introduce like 4 levels of alternate dimension/reality/timelines in the mobile game and 3.
Thats when it actually became stupid.

1 has a genuinely well done story. CoM and 2 have a couple of interesting characters.

>>>but why did sora's heart randomly reach out to ventus' heart when sora was never the "chosen one" and there were literally infinite other hearts that could have done that?
>Sora was being born right when Ventus was having his coma on Destiny Islands. It's literally just lucky coincidence, nothing to do with Ventus or Sora's hearts being "strong" beyond Sora being naturally gifted at making connections.
I actually think they are going to explain this shit with sora being present during union cross times in some way, either as being master of masters or being the 2nd reincarnation of player after player raised xehanort.

>>713512132
Basically a god and an afterlife and an infinite source of light and destructive power. A necessary existence in the world. A literal heart shaped planetoid made out of hearts.

>>713502612
Classic

>>713512253
>>713512708
They really need to work on the art style for the human characters. As cute as Sora is in the 2D art, these look hideous. Art team needs to study expressions in particular, or just hire whoever did the models/lookdev for Smash. To be clear, I'm not saying they need to drop the KH style, they just need to hire people who understand that eyes actually converge on the object they're looking at and that you don't show 80% of your lower teeth unless you're grimacing in pain.

>>713501857
If you compartmentalize in your mind that the series ends at 2 before anything actually gets nutty, and either ignore or take all the later sequels/prequals raising questions that didn't exist and did not need to exist, retconning and flip flopping on elements of the plot to expand the stories scope, etc. with low personal investment, then it's pretty fun and simple.

I beat 1fm on proud and 2fm on crit already, I wanted to play Chain of Memories. Would you recommend I do that one on proud or is the difficulty bad in that game?

>>713513540
KH1 is just a dumb crossover of Square (not specifically with FF, just them as a developer) with Disney. You're an OC along with Donald and Goofy hopping from one Disney world to another. Legitimately a charming game.
Until the last hour of the game where it gets infected by Nomura autism. But honestly it's minuscule you can ignore it just fine.
Now KH2 is where the Nomura autism goes full frontal.

>>713505136
I know now without a doubt
Kingdom Hearts

>>713501857
Kingdom Hearts 2 is peak, I wouldn't recomend playing after that one

>>713516347
Chain of memories' difficulty is entirely dependent on the rng of card drops and card packs. You either have good deck building skills and good sleights or you don't and you'll be in pain.

>>713501857
Kingdom Hearts is extremely fucking egregiously stupid but it largely gets away with its bullshit because the core protagonist, Sora, just does not give a shit and is a really sweet kid. Basically, a bunch of convoluted shit is happening and for the main series entries (other than 3, I guess) Sora's eyes are on the prize and he really isn't interested in the inane bullshit surrounding him (famously, he just straight up answers an early rival antagonist with "You're stupid!" for prattling about hearts heartless darkness". He's impulsive but overall a good dude.

The bizarre plot aspects of the series...they do kind of get grating as Sora takes a backseat, but some aspects (like stuff with Roxas) are at least emotionally strong. KH is very "teenager core" and operates heavily on emotions, for better or worse

>>713512132
It's light. It's the heart of all worlds. It's the congregation of all hearts. It's a moon. It may have an actual kingdom on it. It lets you reshape the universe. It's behind a door. Nevermind, that's a fake. A lot of them are fake. You can just kinda recreate it if you want. Or summon it. It needs a deviantart abomination to use. No, wait. You need a very specific battle to happen too. Whatever it is it's borderline irrelevant now.

>>713517170
Its current relevance is that the current antagonists invented darkness during the first keyblade war (undepicted) when they fought to steal kingdom hearts's light.

>>713517280
kek it's like one of those sensory homunculus diagrams

>>713517428
Still one of the best villains imo.. Owo

Wasn't Xehanerd's entire deal to open Kingdom Hearts and implant himself in it to act as a filter to ensure that any and all life (re)born from it wouldn't contain any amount of darkness?

>>713517593
>to ensure that any and all life (re)born from it wouldn't contain any amount of darkness?
Yes
>to open Kingdom Hearts and implant himself in it to act as a filter
What?

Master of Masters is Walt.

>>713517593
>>713517681
what was that explained in? I thought he basically just wanted "to know as much as possible", and maybe become a god too

>>713517832
>I thought he basically just wanted "to know as much as possible", and maybe become a god too
He explained his real motivation after you beat him in 3. Then they tried to give it any level of justification in χ dark road

>>713517808
>lead darkness character is sakaguchi

>>713517950
That's truly retarded. They spent the literal entire series thoroughly examining the mind of basically "a true and complete asshole mad scientist" and then try to make it so he wanted something "good" in the end?

That really is dumb.

>>713518061
giving villains an undeserved redemption is one of the worst tropes in japanese media

>>713518124
it does definitely smack of "Orochimaru" Naruto bullshit

>>713518061
3 sucks. Xehanort is basically an entirely different character before and after his boss fight in 3.
And he's probably going to be a party member in 4

>>713518251
Worst twist in the series, but even worse would be bringing him back for 4. He's already too entangled in his own time travel plot.

>>713518467
They spent too much effort on xehanort and eraqus's student models and sympathizing with them, and then killed them both before sending sora to "the afterlife".
Not that anyone can predict kingdom hearts but its a pretty obvious twist to use.

>Ansem SoD: Just wanted the worlds to be smothered in Darkness
>Xemnas: Wanted to turn more people into heartless to steal more hearts to make an artificial kingdom hearts

>Both of these easy to understand villain motivations are achtually part of Xehanort's master ride and either succeeding means that the X-blade is never actually made

>>713518467
Xehanort appeared in more games than Sora (MC btw) so 0% chance he doesn't appear in 4

>It was fun Eraqus, but it looks like this game is mine.
>I activate my spell card Monster Reborn to bring back my king piece.
>What? That's not even a part of the game.
>I then play my Trainer card Boss's Orders (Cyrus) to switch your benched goat head piece with your active hourglass piece.
>Eraqus stop cheating.
>Next I discard my Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring to negate the effect of your goat piece, preventing it from letting you special summon the other 12 pieces from your deck. Finally, I attack your goat piece with my king piece and discard my Honest during the damage step to cause my king piece to gain attack equal to your goat piece. You almost had me there Xehanort, but you can't get complacent in your strategy.

>>713519085
>eraqus what the fuck are you doing you act like you're making moves but every turn all your pieces stay in place and get captured
>oh xehanort this is 5d chess I was playing in the alternate timeline, I already checkmated you in both timelines by the way

>>713503612
Damn I've never seen this one but it's pretty good.

>>713504705
His plan is to destroy the universe and go to new one so he can explore and keep it safe so kinda

>>713506106
Truth Nuke. KH1 is the only truly great KH game. 2 and 3 are equally messes in their own way.

>>713519085
>The Sora chess piece let's you reset the board when you're about to lose
That's the real reason why Xehanort thinks Light is bullshit

>>713516413
The ending of KH 1 is great and self contained. It feels like you've finally stumbled onto your own Disney movie and the ending is perfect.

Everything afterward becomes outrageously overcomplicated and cheesy.

>>713505637
I laughed imagining some scrawny neckbeard muttering this to himself after someone bumped into him at the supermarket

I've never played any KHs but I still remember being fascinated by KH2's cover art as a kid

I feel like I'm the only one that loved KH1 and was massively disappointed with 2 (haven't watched or played 3 because of this)

Almost every single aspect of 2 that was also found in 1 was somehow slightly worse at minimum

>UI feels more generic
>levels/ hubs feel unnecessarily large and empty
>combat just mash x but look flashier and cool

The entire plot is genuinely bad and convoluted and memeing about it is a cope. Nobodies aren't bad as a logical addition to Heartless but the entire concept should have been scrapped not to mention the entire matrix/ memory shit they were doing.

Maybe this already happened somewhere and i missed it but fighting an omega-tier heartless that was generated from the Heartless successfully consuming a world heart would be neat.

>>713505136
Kairi’s… inside me?

>>713521402
>>UI feels more generic
I don't understand this criticism AT ALL. It is either exactly the same or made improvements in all cases, like the command menu having a variation for every world.

>>713502497
christ

>>713521402
The World of Chaos, the final boss of 1 is basically that. 3 says that SoD was trying to artificially make Kingdom Hearts by feeding the hearts of worlds to the shadow hence World of Chaos being a big world sized Heartless.

>>713521402
UI is 1:1 the same as in 1
Convoluted plot is a positive, not a negative. If you like simple plots go play some random goyslop
You can't mash X on Critical

>>713521402
I had the same experience. I still like 2 but after 1 it felt like a gut punch. I don't think your opinion is rare either, I remember when 2 originally came out people were much more negative about it. You have to remember that the current release of 2 is the director's cut that fixed a lot of the initial problems of the game but that didn't exist outside Japan until like 10 years ago.

>>713521402
KH2 critiques were more common when the game was new. By now and with the remasters 2FM is probably the most celebrated game.

>>713505136
kh2 had the most quotes ye?

>>713505653
Xemnas as a final boss hasn't been topped either. His final laser dome is overrated but the amount of effort needed to kill him was fun because of all his boss phases.

>>713522127
Between Ansem, Xemnas and Xehanort, Xemnas is by far the worst final boss mechanically. It's movie slop, just a bunch of cool setpieces with stripped down mechanics.

The laser dome is a nearly unfailable qte. Compare that to his dome in 3 being an actual attack. And all his attacks are heavily watered down versions of his fight in 1 with very short HP threshold for triggering cutscenes. It sucks.

>>713522420
laser dome in 2 is probably a technical limitation thing and 3 is what they envisioned it as but couldn't implement, but that doesn't take away from it being cool in 2

>>713513374
In retrospect this and sephiroth battle also from 2 was the only good thing about the whole series. I am not sure if just this is worth all the cancer growth surrounding it.

Are there any good mods for KH? Hopefully there's something that allows me to play as someone other than Sora.

>>713524993
His friends call him Trespassers Bill for short

Child me was a real pseud for liking KH because of hearing "Light" "Darkness" sounded cool despite how incoherent those ideas were.

Chain of Memories is still my favorite KH. Wished there was something similar to it (Don't try to recommend some indie BS; There are none close to CoM)

>>713528772
KH1 world design is leagues better thoughbeit

>>713529006
Not sure about KH1, but KH2 has a fully functional Roxas mod. I think there's also an Aqua mod but it's not as developed. KH3 has a Terra mod and Young Xehanort mod. I believe there's also Ventus and other characters, but not nearly as much effort went into them compared to those two. While it doesn't change the fact that you're playing as Sora, there's also mods that give him his drive forms as keyblade transformations.

>>713528772
Furthermore, 3 essentially removing reaction commands is fucking retarded.

>>713501857
The story is a joke, when you have disney shit like that is inevitable but Normura actually thought he could make it "cool" so all disney characters are there having no development at all because of the disney mandate and then you have anime shit characters of the lowest common denominator with a plot so nonsensical you ever wonder why they couldn't just make magical quest 4.

>>713529860
Disney stops mattering after KH1

>>713530038
Plot stops mattering after KH1. Only thing that mattered in KH2 were the drive forms.

>>713501956
pure soul

I love KH1 and KH2 but I can understand where some people may be coming from if they have a big preference for either one over the other.
KH1 is an RPG first and an action game second whereas KH2 is the reverse. KH1 is a lot slower and individual items, spells, skills etc feel more impactful, the world layout also contributes to this.
KH2 has simpler map design, you start out with far more skills, forms, reaction commands and you're just faster and more flashy in general. Rightfully so being the second game but it does end up differentiating it a lot from how KH1 feels to play, especially the early to mid game of KH1.

Re: Chain of Memories - PS2
Coded - originally mobile only in Japan
358/2 Days - DS
Birth By Sleep - PSP
Re:Coded - brought to North America for DS
Dream Drop Distance - DS
χ - originally a browser game for PC
Unchained χ - mobile device
Union χ Cross - mobile device
Kingdom Hearts III - PS4, XBone (and this came out in 2019)
Dark Road (another expansion of χ) - mobile
Melody of Memory - I believe this is the first KH game on Switch, but also PS4 and XBone
Bundles:
1.5 Remix (KH1, Chain of Memories, 358 Days cutscenes) - PS3
2.5 Remix KH2, Birth By Sleep, Coded cutscenes - PS3
Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue (these names get ridiculous) - Dream Drop Distance, Birth By Sleep Fragmentary Passage (trash), Union χ Back Cover (new cutscenes movie)
and Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 Remix - pretty much everything all on one disc for PS4
or you can buy Kingdom Hearts All-in-One Package for PS4 with PS5 backwards compatibility which is every game to date
I like to think the plot isn't necessarily that confusing, but it's more that you are expected to have played most if not all of these games to understand the story. If you just play KH1 and 2 then hop into 3 you're fucked
if you sprinkle in BBS and Chains you're also fucked

Reaction commamds are so much better than the command deck its unreal. You want to call reaction commands shit you gotta come up with an explanation for how the mechanics that replaced it were even more shit. Reaction commands were better than a bunch of other quick time events at the time, because most of them led to a little mini-game and involved a risk with failing them that wasn't an instant game over.

remember that guy that claimed to have an ultra rare promo disk for kingdom hearts thay he paid tons for and would never ever dump and made fun of poor people? people figured out that it was sent to tons of japanese stores and wasn't rare at all?

One thing I never understood about the so-called 'light and darkness' is that a lot of the good cast are overwhelmingly filled with light, with only a few tiny hints that they have darkness inside (Terra has more dark moves than Riku does in DDD, especially with the different shotlocks and commands exclusive to him, alongside an entire dark-based Command Style) but there hasn't ever been anything akin to someone wielding Darkness as their main force that they keep a tight leash on through determination or having enough friends to back them up. Ofc there's the Organization and the Dark Seekers but they're more consumed by Darkness as opposed to controlling it, if that makes sense.

Ansem kept himself alive through sheer force of rage, but he isn't really a fighter himself. What gives?

Anon what the fuck are you actually asking
Riku controls darkness but it takes him several games of growth to learn how to do so. At first its through willpower but then he manages to actually transform it.
Terra begins to give into darkness halfway through bbs, he doesnt have a chance to get a tight leash on it because he falls into it too fast
Xehanort is controlling darkness with willpower and willingly giving over to it in order to cause a pure darkness vs pure light clash
Vanitas exists as pure darkness he doesn't have to put effort in to control it and hes the only named character without a hint of light
The only time we even have a character weilding light for the bad guys is roxas, and thats cause nobodies have natural control over singular random elements for some reason.
Does that answer your question?

wheres the guy that calculated goofy breaking the sound barrier

It was the only time I laughed during kh3

>>713539575
To this day I have no idea what he's supposed to be saying other than its supposed to be a generic shout that accidentally sounds like a real word

>>713539792
I thought he was yelling tornado while doing the goofy tornado but i think its not actually tied to his moveset.

>>713502473
Why is there a random knight photoshopped in on the right

>>713541501
it's trespassers william

>>713535857
KH fans believe what they think happened. Not what actually happened.

>>713539792
I've been trying to find this image forever thank you

>>713505136
You really do remember me this time?
I'm so FLATTERED!

Is the Star Wars world going to be just Return of the Jedi, or will they have iconic moments from the other OT films?

>>713505136
NOT CLAYTON!

>>713507987
It's really not, it's the re-used artwork for the 20th anniversary clock which itself was just re-used artwork made to look like official stations of awakening. The fact that all characters have their eyes open on them should have been the clearest hint. Even most fan works get that part right after all.

>>713504196
I love how lazy these are too. It’s one thing to do it with random no named NPCs, but to do it with Wakka is wild

>>713542228
Pretty sure they do it with Tidus in Traverse Town too

>>713520423
He has almost double the pieces. He can’t be calling bullshit, even if Light buys the Zettaflare Duck and Invincible Dog expansion set

>>713542502
he truly hates N words

>>713542592
I remember being confused about the Traverse Town kid. He looks just like Tidus, and you meet him pretty shortly after the intro island, but he doesn't say anything about what just happened? Weird, weird!

>>713501857
Kingdom Hearts story is written in the same way a deviantart tier fanfiction writer does. as soon as someone figures out 'the twist' he goes in a completely different direction.

its an experiment in how enough jank can make a almost coherent story

>>713502695
Minnie is the one who did it though.

>>713530865
Why not both?

>>713503465
Is that supposed to be for a Greta?

>>713513540
stick to the main games
1, 2, BBS

Starting 2 will be confusing as all hell if you don't play CoM, but it's only staggering for the prologue. If you don't like 2, skip to BBS. If you like 2, you might as well play the rest.

>>713536675
KH1 was on PS2, not PS1

SO YOU HAVE COME THIS FAR AND STILL YOU HAVE LEARNED NOTHING

KH3 was fun. It had the best-designed worlds in any KH game by a landslide. Sure the combat isn't quite as tight as KH2's, but everything else is an objective improvement. The worlds were so good that even though I didn't give a fuck about most of the movies they were based on, I still enjoyed them.

The story is all over the place, but in a fun way. The gameplay is amazing in all of them, aside from 358/2 Days, where it's only alright.

>You're a nobody, Dumb Donald!

This thread has been connected.

>>713513540
KH1 in a vacuum is a really fucking solid game, and KH2 + BBS are also solid games. It's just the series as a whole where it gets into unironic Tails Gets Trolled territory, and TGT is only good behind an irony-drenched lens.

Chain of Memories is also there, but honestly, you can just watch a youtube video or something for that. It bridges KH1 and KH2 but it was also a Gameboy release so it's really light on gameplay (even with the remake)

>>713501669 (OP)
is this supposed to be funny? because I can only hear this in Donald's voice and it's hilarious

>>713551303
is ecker back?

Heartless felt really nerfed after the first game
>Of course, that's the point of the first game
Sure, but even when dealing with purebloods and the worlds of darkness they don't feel as intimidating as they used to.

>>713550640
retard detected.
theres nothing ironic about kingdom hearts, its 100% sincere, thats why its kino

>play KH 358/2 Days on DS
>love it
>don't have a PS2 so can't play the other games, but always wanted to
>years later get a PS4
>buy the collection
>play KH1
>love it
>lose interest in the Little Mermaid level
>drop the game "momentarily" to play something else
>it's been years since then
I am fake KH fan.

>>713552636
the end of the game is the best part

>>713502640
Knocking back lol.

>>713502640
>knocking back
Holy shit that's an option.

>>713503465
that fucking Mickey Mouse cracks me up so much

>>713511954
I stole this image grubbo can't do shit

>>713552636
Oh man you dropped interest at the worst time, because that's when the game is ramping up.
If I remember correctly Little Mermaid is optional too.

>>713552408
I didn't say it was ironic, retard. I said that it enters unironic TGT territory. There's a big difference.

YOU MUST EXIST NO MORE!

>>713505136
Anger and hate are supreme

>>713503887
Shit taste.

>>713505136

>>713550640
>TGT is only good behind an irony-drenched lens.
Says you. It's legitimately hilarious and wears it's heart on it's sleeve until it got too popular.

>>713535857
This isn't true, since Yen Sid was the one that forbade Mickey from even seeking her out in the first place

>>713505136
Submit!

>>713554747
When did mickey even report to yen sid after 1? During that year he was traveling with riku or what?

>>713513540
>Is Kingdom Hearts actually good?
>It looks like the videogame equivalent of Tails Gets Trolled
The neat thing is that it exists between stuff like the OP picture which allows them to make sense of crossfranchise chicanery and have it sound reasonable while still being whimsical about everything.
So no it's not good but it is fun.

that's nuts

A lot of my pics won't post.

>>713502640
Based on every woman i have dated the girl at the top would just leave the door open and not care

>>713512439
can't believe he said this shit with a straight face
fucking twilight town in kh3 is even smaller than twilight town in kh2 or on THE FUCKING DS VERSION IN 358/2 DAYS

>>713513540
No
it's just an official licensed disney fanfic crossover game

>>713503618
>KH4 seems to be a sort of soft-reboot of sorts with a "new" villain, so it shouldn't be as bad going forwards.
>He doesn't know about UX and Dark Road
>Now we have Missing Link extra baggage
LMAO Welcome to the ride.

>>713538864
YES IT WAS and thanks to it I finally found the thing but the fucker deleted it. Xion's Awkward Questions by StoryMakerr014. He can't get away with this...

for me, it's Sora

>>713503465
What kind of name is Agtrex

>>713505136
GIVE ME STRENGTH

>>713504392
>"but why did that random door appear at the end of KH2 to save Sora/Riku?"
Power of Light
>the power of her heart was so strong, it manifested sora's true form
Power of Light, also play CoM, Days and put attention on II.
>but how did maleficent just randomly reappear after death
Power of Darkness, also time travel. Read an UX summary.
>but why did sora's heart randomly reach out to ventus' heart when sora was never the "chosen one" and there were literally infinite other hearts that could have done that?
Allegedly random chance because Sora was a newborn when Ventus heart was fading and yes Ventus is special thanks to the events of UX.

>>713504473
>What's wrong with 3?
70% of your adventure is filler, mostly good filler, but filler after all.
The last 30% rushes a Big Climax while Sora hard carries everyone except Riku + Mickey.
Then you have to pay a DLC to get a more complete and coherent ending.

>>713521402
You're not alone. That disappointment cut deep

>>713513540
You missed out, the last time you could get into it was during DDD.
Play 1+CoM+2, if you are happy with 2's ending stop, you won't get more satisdaction after it.

Oh HELL YEAH it's archived.

The closer you get it's the TWEWY games (on story sensibilities).

>>713564674
Pffffftttt
Also, I can totally believe Xemnas being a virgin after becoming a nobody, way too focused on his goals for anything.
Ansem SoD on the other hand totally fucks.

>>713564674
good lord

>>713533349
those are closets. its a hotel bruh, boatloads of people have jackets to deposit

>>713561274

anyone got the set of the male kingdom hearts characters all doing heroin or meth or drinking alcohol? soras holding his arm out and its covered in track marks and hes got a dead inside look on his face?

The Xemnas boss fight in 2 is still unmatched

>>713563896
>more complete and coherent ending
It's really not though, just a ton of fanservice moments
I guess it does explain how Sora brought Kairi back

>>713503465
>>713563294
I assume it's just a nobodified name of the real birthday kid, probably Greta

>>713568003
I like the little dalmatian puppy that follows you around after you rescue him, its cute

>>713503465
holy fucking shit my sides

>>713502473
pretty good actually considering it's a joke made in the same vein as "The Backson"

>>713502497
Jee-zus

>>713564882
>I can totally believe Xemnas being a virgin
??? Xemnas (who is just Xehanort) is literally a monk. He is asexual.

>>713512439
The Square Enix exec lies as easily as he breathes

Has this been made a 4chan banner yet?

>>713513540
Yes, the gameplay for 1, especially 2 is really fun. Reading the manga is the definitive way to enjoy the story however.

>>713505136
KIIIIIIIINNNNNNGDOOOOM HEARRRRRRRRRTTTS

>>713503412
Nomura was getting a little Desperado by that point

>>713503412
He meant that Xehanort tainted his soul with his
This plotpoint doesn't lead anywhere except for the fact every character in the Real Org 13 are part Xehanort

>>713553238
>he now has grubbo saved onto his computer, going through all his files

I also watched KH Insider dot com videos. UK website. Like Serebii Pokémon was the place for leaks back in the day.

Before this thread archives, KH1 Sora casting Fire is such a dreadful line reading that made it into the final game. It's always been bad and the Remaster never changed it. :/
