Hottake. I don't like the Dream Eaters. The Nightmare Designs are weak as fuck for Nightmares.

I hope we can get an older film like Emperor's New Groove or Treasure Planet in KH4 but they'll probably use modern films

I've heard rumors treasure planet is in 4 but we'll see.

I agree but don't double post or you'll end up like ansem

KH needs an reboot with the full Story already planned. They need an Tim Burton X 1910s Aesthetic, the Disney stories & Characters needs to be recreated so they don't look like Disney's Copyright ( like Disney did with Grim & other Tails) or handled like "Unce Upon a Time". Michael, Donlad & Goofy are like imaginary friends, given life by Sora's Heart. (Trauma Cope Meta). Without Retcons, the Series would be High Tier Stuff, but no. We got an Japanese, obessed with Korny Anime Shit

this is the biggest new-fag take on this franchise I've ever seen.

the entire beloved draw of the series is its continuous, convoluted plot, and how Sora, one of the dumbest Square protags, bumblefucks up evil organizations dimension spanning evil plans to do things by simply having more Charisma than 10 men.

it would be totally in canon for Xehanort to monologue to that child and then try and defeat them with all their might to this tune

"The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes."​

I recently found an old strategy guide that's barely holding together, which my brother got for his birthday when we were both still very young. (KH1 was like the third PS2 game we ever owned and we obsessed over it, we each had our own playstyles that evolved during the game, we shared secrets etc. I still couldn't read so I was just bumbling about but still somehow got farther into the game than him. Keyblade Riku was also a traumatic experience for both of us, it took like 10 attempts spanning over multiple days. I was shaking with adrenaline by the end of it.)

Anyways, seeing the strategy guide surely makes me miss the days when they were brimming with official artwork, background info, map layouts, a story walkthrough and some jokes and actual strategies for fights. Well, some strategies were better than others. And no way in hell would child-me take boss fights slow and look for openings. Unga bunga attack spam until it doesn't work, that's the best strategy! Video guides are probably more effective than written guides, but old strategy guides had SOUL.

since I was listening to more of her work, I have to give a shout out to Yoko Shimomura, the greatest video game music composer of all time, there are so many iconic tracks credited to her its really insane.

So much of this theme is put into so many parts of other tracks in such a good way, every part of its composition is perfect, especially for the subject of the bosses.

as an aside, Ansem must have been completely flabberghasted why Sora suddenly gained (tinkerbell) Flight out of nowhere, it shouldn't even be possible whatsoever, but Sora's charisma friend connections is reality breaking, and with this encounter Sora unknowingly turned the tide of a decades long plan to do some hinky shit by simply having more will and reality warping charisma than the spooky big bads.

I remember back when I was a kid I thought Darkside was meant to be something super important given its name and how it literally merges out of Sora's shadow in the first game. But at this point there's a million of the fuckers running around. Ironically it's Coded of all games where it's at its most important and has its closest ties to Sora.

I liked how Ansam goes full "THIS IS NOT EVEN MY FINAL FORM" on your ass. Kid me went all "WHY ARE YOU NOT DEAD YET!?"

The series still have one of the cooler boss fights in gaming.

the entire series is both hilarious and dark for the unending juxtaposition of some of the most esoteric, dark cosmic high-power bullshit in all of Square's catalogue.. being crushed effortlessly by a 14-16 year old boy and his two kings guard best friends.

Sora is both the least mature of the FF Protags, and also the strongest.

I feel like if dark tides start showing up, the world starts going to crap. Correct me if I'm wrong but outside of soras dreams/psyche I think they only showed when a world was falling apart or already engulfed in darkness. My favorite scene of them was in the 2.8 prologue where Aqua stumbled onto a bunch of them trying to destroy/enter a world and she violently interrupted it.

Also Notice how in the kh4 trailers it negatively effects the environment around it.

Ironically it's Coded of all games where it's at its most important and has its closest ties to Sora.

That's probably the most interesting part of coded. That somehow digitizing the darkness allows it to awaken and gain some form of sentience that hints at a greater evil at work.

Sora's secret to success is legit his brutality. He doesn't consider notions of fairplay when beating the hell out of villains. That's what makes him so fun despite his vanilla personality.

Your evil, cool. I'm going to fucking kill you


He was a bit of a flying brick in 1 but when he got his speed/mobility in 2 he became unstoppable. And that was before it got an upgrade in DDD. The theoretically infinite magic and healing helped too.

 

[Zenos Yae Viator]

That's what makes him so fun despite his vanilla personality.

I wouldn't call him vanilla, he's sincere in a way that is almost impossible, he goes way past standard nice guy protags into such levels of dumb-but-goodliness that he sways even jaded forces of evil, and he maintains this in the face of cosmic annihilation and complete and total assured defeat.

He's the Universes most powerful optimist, and he believes in optimistic outcomes so much that he tears his way into unreality and undoes the death of all his friends at tremendous self cost.

He believed the Door to Darkness had Light on the other side of it so much that it overrode the certainty of it actually being a door to the Dark Realm even if only for a moment.

It was kind of funny how brutal Sora could be towards the Nobodies in KH2.

"Do you understand the suffering of my existence? And to be betrayed by one of our former comrades-"
"BoO hOo HoO. Quit crying about it, you don't have any feelings. Throw down already."

One appears as a pretty normal mission near the start of Days in Twilight Town. No indication the world was on the brink of destruction or anything.

Should probably be mentioned though that Twilight Town is a world on the border between the Realms of Light and Darkness, which is why Roxas was born there, DiZ set up shop there, why Yen Sid's tower hung around it, and why you can open a portal to The World That Never Was from there.

Isn't the Kairi game literally a KH recap in way of guitar hero? Seems perfect to port that alongside the three other collections onto Steam, given how "KH explained poorly" is at 9.3m views.

From the view of Org 13+1, they got beaten by a hillbilly with elementary school education & the shittiest keyblade posture.

Xehanort's nemesis is a teenager that still wears mickey mouse shoes.

Re: Darkside

When i was little and play KH1 and saw the scene where sora walks closer to the light and the darkness gets bigger and we get hit with one of the sickest line in 1(imo). Seeing Darkside manifest was scary and for me the face of a Darkside was scary whenever i would play it. I feel that originally Darkside was meant to be more than just a super big heartless. Seeing them gather in groups in 2.8 was intimidating because they are basically the juggernauts of the Heartleass and in a way they are the harbinger that marks the world's downfall to darkness.

Something i would like them to explore as previously said, would be to explore how a world gets corrupted by darkness and see how that changes the place. Considering the game so far takes place in Quadratum and is basically Japan is gonna be interesting how they will portray heartless attacking humans amd how humans become heartless in a more graphic manner.

You guys think that KH4 is the entry that will introduce choices into the series? Would be fucking brutal if sora gets to decide if he has to save or let someone be consume by darkness just to destroy the heartless afterward.

It is strange that's the one they're dragging their feet on.
Do they have to go through a licensing process each time they want to add it to another platform?
