WHEN YOU WALK AWAY

You don't hear me say

From the best action game turn into the worst one in my life. Reaction turn into shit and keep getting worse because NOMURA GAVE FKIN OSAKA TEAM and HE'S LAZY TO DONE HIS WORK BEFORE RELEASED

PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEE
OH BABY
DON’T GO

>Kingdom Hearts 1 even now barely feels old. It visually holds up and most of the "age" shows in the camerawork and what it's ok asking the player to put up with (cough atlantica and deep jungle cough)
>18 year old games when Kingdom Hearts 1 came out were the likes of Balloon Fight, Excitebike, and Ice Climber
What the fuck even, the passage of time can eat my ass.

KIMI TO IUUUU
HIKARI GA WATAHI O MITUUUKERU
MAAAAYONAKA NI

Fuck off, Kingdom Sharts sucks. *dabs and flies away*

I still don't get why KH1 is the only magical and soulful one. Was it because Nomura played it safe and made it a Disney game, and after the success of it just did whatever he wanted?

It still holds most of the original draft that was considered at first, making the title a one-off standing on its own with no sequel baiting or lore building, Sora going through Disney world after Disney world, confronting Maleficent, then having the final world being a bizarre and distorted version of Fantasia with Chernabog as the final boss and then the end. No bullshit door of light, no Ansem, no having to rescue MIckey and Riku.

>It still holds most of the original draft that was considered at first
Can you elaborate?

Basic structure is the same until the very end, the idea of Sora, Riku and Kairi wanting to go on an adventure and being scattered with Sora having to travel Disney world in order to save them and his friends. Basically, everything until Hollow Bastion is mostly what was originally planned.
Only bits and pieces have been found, but basically, Ansem never existed originally, Maleficent and Chernabog were supposed to be the main villains and after dealing with them Mickey would have shown up with a redeemed Riku, with everyone going back to their respective worlds and ending it right there.

You can see a glimps of the rewrites by how the Disney villains' alliance shatters almost immediately and none of them help each other in their predicaments.

Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 were good.

Dream Drop Distance was fun.

Miss me with everything else.

>can legally have sex with this PS2 game

Fuck yes

Oh god, I'm getting older. I'm going to die one day. What the fuck.

Hollow Bastion was so cool

KH1 is not a good game. But hey happy birthday anyway Kingdom Hearts.

I would argue the entire KH series in some manner suffers precisely because Nomura does whatever the fuck he wants. The plot makes zero sense without intense study of events in all the games and factoring in what is and isn't retconned at any given moment

I see, but I don't get how that applies to future KH games. Are you saying they all had a ton of rewrites that made it vastly different?

>Dream Drop Distance was fun.

Not really, i'm saying the original concept for the first game was to be a one-shot with no sequels, only later it was rewritten in order to tease up future titles. That's all.

>Imagine having shit taste, and thinking DDD was a bad game

Oh I see, yeah that makes sense.

It’s shit. Still better than 3 though

How much did you understand the story first time playing KH?

Was this the most kino moment in the franchise?

I miss its simple days. It got so messy so quickly. The Organization was cool but they should have stopped by then

It was shit, user, I'm sorry to inform you that you are the one with shit taste

Still the best game in the series

>you will never be a keyblade wielder
why even live?

I MEANT YOUR NAME

It was edgy and cringe back in 2002. It still is

How exactly is KH1 edgy?

ANSEM was a mistake

I'm playing through it now for the first time and having a good time, music is amazing. Are any of later games worth playing? I've seen a lot of stupid stuff from them.

Fairly well. I'll admit the start of two confused me until I played CoM after, but after 2 I basically got all the other games first time playing them.

It's also my birthday today

Why didn’t they ever get Billy Zane again?

Ansem was based

Based on what? I thought he was an original character.

He’s just based

>Based on what?
Deez nuts.

Ansem SOD was based. Diz was not

Asked for a pay raise and apparently had a drunk rant when they wouldn't go as high as he did.

Oh wow. Link?

Yes

KH2 Xemnas is honestly one of the best final bosses ever made.

Nah that's just the rumor, according to Zane they just didn't offer him the role. Most people think it's because he was too expensive in comparison (especially considering they already got other expensive people to voice). Also he may have been blacklisted for that Anti Iraq War movie he did.

Bros I just discovered if you turn air dodge off you can get air slide to work in combat im discovering this 100 hours into the game and like 5 data fights into my limit cut crit run can i get an F in chat

>standing on its own with no sequel baiting
Did you never beat the game or something?

I agree with you, Mr. Person

>Riku and Mickey are trapped in the realm of darkness
>only Kairi was able to return to the islands
>Sora, Donald and Goofy are scattered in the middle of nowhere searching for Riku and Mickey
>literal last line is "Remember Sora, you'll be one to open the door of light."
>Final Mix added hooded Xemnas with even more teasing lines

I wonder.

He means the original draft of the game, keep in mind Sora was an anthropomorphic at that time.

That song drops SO FUCKING HARD at the end cutscene
"I'll come back to you. I promise!"
"I know you will!"
>WHEN
fuck, the feels hit me so hard back then

1 is the only good KH game, this makes me a little sad.

Fpbp

SIMPLE AND CLEAN IS THE WAY THAT YOU’RE MAKING ME FEEL TONIGHT

>Basically, everything until Hollow Bastion is mostly what was originally planned.
Hollow bastion was pretty kino though and only made the game better, really starts gearing the game up for its final moments and helps give the game its own identity separate of Disney
It was the coolest shit man, such an awesome design and executed well for a ps2 game
The plot has gone to shit largely because Nomura wants to pander to fans too. Also because fanservice sells.
The whole final boss rush at the end of 2 was orgasmic through and through

A confusing roller coaster that's somehow fun the entire time.

Its the RE6 of Kingdom Hearts. The mechanics are excellent but everything else is shit

it kind of sucks but at least has a novel concept
