I didn't try get everything in it like i did with 1 and 2, or get the dlc yet. Just went through it to get through it, mostly. Made some gummi ships n stuff. May have gotten close to some ultimate webbons. Used the attractions too much cause didn't realise you could turn them off untill way later

That's what happens when you made the third game that was supposed to close off multiple games spanning a decade heavily dependent on the PHONE GAME NO ONE PLAYED to the point the entire climax makes no sense if you never played it.

Biggest problem for the franchise is the Disney franchise. Disney has been really jewing out with its pricing lately. Not just amusement parks but anything. Even their own animation program Toon Boom got more expensive while they removed old features from the lower price tiers.

Kingdom Hearts 4 will probably sell bad. The story and characters have been damaged. Even if you're hopeful the story is a huge non marketable element for Kingdom Hearts. After twenty years of shit writing there is no way to keep this series interesting for most gamers. Only diehard fanatics still like Kingdom Hearts and those aren't enough to keep Kingdom Hearts going long term.

God Sora has become unbearably stupid.

A better suggestion is this you grab a shovel and slam it really hard on the back of Nojima's skull. And then you use that same shovel and slam on the front of Nomura's face. And then just to be safe you hit Tai Yasue with the shovel on his cranium.

And if they are still alive while they are reeling in pain grab the front of the shovel and IMPALE their necks killing them. They are the reason the story became god awful. They are the reason Xehanort was as it turns out a nice good man, you see he only killed everyone for their own good and mean old Sora just had to rewrite reality with shoddy writing in the end.

Again eliminate Nomura, Yasue, and Nojima. Those three are the ruiners of characters and plot.

It gets even worse with characters like Strelitzia. Strelitzia is not a replica, she's not a Nobody, she's not a special Nobody like Roxas and Namine, etc. Strelitzia is a regular human being who got killed.

And yet her debut in Kingdom Hearts 4's trailer is she explaining that Quadratum is a world full of life. And since she's a denizen there she can't count as being legally dead. Speaking of which I expect to see regular Xehanort and Eraqus to be alive in Quadratum or something.

You can tolerate a lot of flaws in stories but reviving dead characters is usually a universal fuck up because in real life death is final. So its an insult to pretend that death can be undone in a storyline. I think the only time I liked a story about reviving a dead character was Shadow of the Colossus because the dead girl does get revived but the main hero does NOT realize it as he's cursed and castigated for his crimes.

Entering a Drive Form adds +1 to the counter, the higher the more likely you get Anti
Entering Anti Form lowers it by 5
Entering Final Form lowers it by 10
Unlocking a new Drive Form resets the counter
You can not go into Anti Form outside of combat, useful if the counter is high and you want to enter before a fight
Depending on the Fight the chance is also affected, regular fights have regular odds, bosses have increased odds and organization bosses have even more increased odds of Anti

Because you were supposed to play Days, DDD (Which was majorly important to a lot of stuff even happening and introduced many of the concepts used in KH3), and you were supposed to play KHUX to understand a majority of the ending or anything of the setup going forward.

Don't forget Sora has to be Super Retarded and only simp for Namine but not remember anything else from that game. And Riku conveniently must NEVER speak of anything that happened in that game despite it being his best character arc. Handheld games are shit. And once they remade CoM the damage was done because Kingdom Hearts 2 already existed so Nomura HAD to continue pretending nothing happened during that old GBA game that got remade. And this continues even now as we speak.

Handheld games are terrible.

An FF/Xeno schizo whose writings turned every other FF/KH thread into Versus wank despite having only played KH1FM. 7, 7R, SoP and both TWEWY games if you include other Nomura projects. Got into the franchise through Matsuno who got into Versus 13 because it was Nomura copying Vagrant Story and putting it in an urban setting and calling it a fantasy based on reality social commentary Final Fantasy... which itself got copied by Yoshi-P down to the KH2 Tokyo Team members and Stella/Nameless Star in Jill for social commentary action RPG FF16.
His whole thesis is Square should become an incubator for only passion projects like Versus 'as muh Nomura's vision' because Xenogears and the Ivalice games turned out so well. Either way he's gone now

they were cool in 2. mixing the FF jobs was a nice touch and so was having nobodies designed for each of them too. it's also peak shounen to have an organization like this. but they didn't need to come back for 3.
if it wasn't for the DLC fights actually being kino and better than the base game, they would've had almost no redeeming qualities in 3, as their base game fights were all downgrades from 2. triple nort was based though

Nah. The gameplay has been and will continue to be shit after KH2. I didnt mind the floaty, slowed down combat when it was on handheld, but KH3 almost put me to sleep multiple times. The game has one difficult boss fight which is exploitable with Soras attacks that have minute long invincibility segments. Its so easy people have to restrict their access to the most basic combat functions to give themselves a challenge. I could start KH2 or KH1 right now and I know I would have fun, I cant say that for KH3. Beyond the gameplay, the story took a nose dive at the poorly handled anticlimactic ending. KH2 was the ending in my book. It did what KH3 tried to do but better in every way. (Sora has to leave after bringing back Kairi to start a new adventure, in KH2 Sora Riku and Kairi get a message from the King to start a new adventure but are now they can do it together.)

A huge chunk of lore gets dropped in BBS' finale and secret ending. I'll never forget my buddy asking me, "Who the fuck was the red power ranger?" That's a character who appears briefly in an optional fight in KH2FM+, and who is explained in the final battle of BBS.

Watching Aqua ragdoll across the screen in KH3 killed the entire series for me. I made it to the end and watched Xion make a cameo with no explanation. Kairi and Namine did nothing for the fifth game in a row. Larxene was always a bimbo, but at least felt like a dangerous bimbo in CoM. At this point Olette and Belle are the strongest female characters in the series.

>Watching Aqua ragdoll across the screen in KH3 killed the entire series for me. I made it to the end and watched Xion make a cameo with no explanation. Kairi and Namine did nothing for the fifth game in a row. Larxene was always a bimbo, but at least felt like a dangerous bimbo in CoM. At this point Olette and Belle are the strongest female characters in the series.
Kairi defeated Xehanort in the last game which is unironically the biggest example of "le strong and independent woman" moment in video games. It's worse than fucking Last Of Us 2

Maybe I'm misremembering. That finale was dogshit. Didn't Donald Duck cast the strongest spell in SE history and then Sora became Jesus? What did Kairi do?
But yeah, the female characters alternate between being emotionally and physically worthless, then suddenly dominating the screen with bullshit asspulls.

Aqua in BBS was constantly slurping dumb bitch juice and making terrible decisions, but it worked because she had these naive principles and sheltered upbringing and this weird self image that she was a knight of a country that fell so long ago it only exists in fairy tales. That was an interesting character that could have been explored more. Instead she gets Norted, ragdolls around, and then is given multiple lengthy OOC monologues (remember Aqua in BBS gave SOLILOQUIS and NEVER SHARED HER FEELINGS WITH OTHERS) about nothing while standing in a room with more important characters. Kairi being a schoolgirl whose pure love had divine ritualistic significance and could guide sora through starless depths was interesting and laid the foundation for a good character. Instead we get what you're rightly complaining about.

Aqua and Terra were subtle characters in a cartoony series. BBS was a breath of fresh air in the character drama sense, despite being pretty bad in every other way. CoM, likewise, filled a very interesting existential niche that it kind of flopped on.

Are you talking about MoM or Re:Mind cause in MoM she ended up having to have Sora's lingering will take control of her like she was a video game character from the Quadratum in order to destroy Xehanort lingering will that had invaded Kairi's mind. And in that instance comparing it to TLoU 2 is an insult to KH.

Don't forget that Marluxia and Larxene's lines mean absolutely nothing if you have no context since it's Lauriam and Elrena remembering they were trying to bring Strelitzia back via her data (Or if they did since she's around in KH4 figuring out how to reach her).

Because Strelitzia is in KH4 it could be that Lauriam and Elrena joined up with Ansem (Since he know about Unreality according to MoM) and they somehow managed to save her there but become Nobodies in the process. Once they recompleted after KH2 they sought out Ansem (Now Xehanort), got Norted, and then once they got beaten again they remembered what was going on.

BBS is probably one of the games that suffered the most being made playable on PC/Consoles, if only because the original game on a PSP really wasn't that bad, plus the gameplay felt like it fit fine with the limitations of the system back then and feels much more limited now.

Fair enough. The early part of each character's route is slow since you don't have any commands or passives. The general idea is that you have to reach Radiant Garden first (It's like the third area?) as that's the first time Mandrkes spawn and drop items that let you get Lucky Strike which then opens up crafting entirely for you.
http://www.finalfantasykingdom.net/bbsmelding.php
Use that list because you're not going to unlock anything naturally so don't waste your time because BBS is a guide game.

Ventus can get a lategame command in Dwarf Woodlands almost immediately with the starting commands and I believe so could Aqua. Terra plays the worst out of the three thanks to his slow attacks, terrible dodges, and short iframes. Once you get to Ventus and Aqua combat in general feels significantly better, especially Aqua.
You can use D-Links early on for decent commands but they're mostly pointless. The best way to level them is reach Olympus Colosseum and then go to the back for the challenge. I believe Terra can't do that and I forgot what his best way to level them was. They level by how many kills you get while in the D-Link.
For leveling commands use Mickey's D-Link and go right outside of Olympus' doors since it has the highest level enemies that are super easy to kill quickly.

>>715333469
Yeah, a big thing you have to go into things like BBS and DDD with is that they were handheld games. They didn't really change much with the console releases outside of bring FM to the west with BBS and basically made the DDD release a pseudo-FM by fixing hit stun and adding a few Dream Eaters into the mix.

We were supposed to get ML after a couple years but then it kept getting delayed and then outright cancelled which no one saw coming. The fact they haven't done Re:Union at all is also very confusing.

Not too surprised. All of Square's attention is on the FF7 trilogy and it's spinoffs currently. Which is sorta fucking over their other IPs, especially ones that share staff.
Probably a simple case of
>We need KH4 out by this year to look good on our financial report, but we don't have the manpower to give you the additional stuff to make your project make sense.
>Make sure to play our FF7 gacha when off work so you're up to date with the story that'll be important in part 3 of FF7 Remake

That's because Nomura got bored of everything he spent 15 years writing and decided to throw it all away. I and 99% of fans don't care about his cool new mobile game bullshit though.

I can bet ten farthings we will have:
Moana world with navigation and kaju battle, the villain is *litterally* heartless. Moana as a character, maui as a stand. Tamatoa boss fight and the giant volcano girl.
Ralph shit with the disney pandering, probably they will ress the heart princess to do more princess pandering.
Star wars shit, probably in the gummis gameplay section. Mandalorian and grogu mandatory tie in but i don't know where.
Zootopia world.
...
Wait i checked now moana and zootopia came out the same year? What in the living shit? i tought zootopia was at least 20 yrs old.
Anyway.
They will probably try to do some realistic 3d shit with the disney worlds, like the live action remakes but in game, probably using a gimmick like traveling from a "real" world like in the trailer and the fantastic ones.

Star Wars will be RotJ based on the fact it showed Endor. We also know that Unreality is different from the main KH universe so it's likely they play into stuff like TWEWY (Since everyone in DDD said they were from Shibuya even if it's not the Verum Rex Shibuya) and more realistic worlds probably based off the live action stuff. I'd honestly be surprised if we didn't get a mix of more modern Disney worlds like Moana, Encanto, Luca, or Soul and some realistic stuff like Star Wars and Indiana Jones.

KH3 should just embrace it's emo edge origins. And it should have over the top boss fights like the KH2 boss rush. They can pull inspiration from FF16 which knew how to make hype moments.

Maybe they should also consider pulling in other franchises. Like exploring shonen jump worlds or something outrageous like looney tunes if they want to stay Disney-adjacent.

Honestly if Nintendo wasn't as stuck up they should have done Nintendo worlds. Edgy Mario and emo peach would have been amazing.

I care because I'm hoping the Osaka team has finally learned after 3 and the DLC that they can make good gameplay if they care to

It might come as a surprise to you but star wars is not that deep, the last one does a really good job of summarizing the other two movies as well
