Kingdom Hearts Community: May your heart be your guiding key

Ratatouille was so ahead of its time, now there's all these Netflix shows about the art of foodmaking and stuff that people love to watch. But Remy, he was there before anyone else.
You've made a powerful enemy this day.
I honestly think at least 10-15 hours of my BBS playtime was probably spent playing Command Board.
Yeah the Command Board is weirdly addicting even though it's very time consuming and not as rewarding for the time you spend on it.
I could see myself playing it when I'm using public transportation and I don't have internet connection.
It honestly goes for any form of art. If half of the videogame critics had watched that movie we'd have a much healthier rating system overall lol
It's all about keeping an open mind to new stuff and appreciate works of passion
I platinumed BBS, I personally enjoy Command Board, it's very cute. I just can't recommend it to people
For real, a lot of my approach to stuff is to love things wholeheartedly and seek out those small underappreciated works of passion. Irony and insincerity is so offputting to me now. Even if I don't like something, I try to find what good I can from it.
OP
OP
I'm with you. Only double that 10-15 hours and then some. Between the OG game, FM, 2.5, and 2.5 on PS4 I've definitely spent a good 30+ hours on that single mode.
I'm having so much trouble getting through DDD that I'm considering just watching the cutscenes on YouTube. The drop system sucks so much.
Are there any recommendations for making it suck less? I find myself staring at it since I'm worried about starting something that's interesting but only having a minute left before I have to drop.

First always max out the drop decelerator between character swaps. Its cheap and really helps. (May only be there in the HD version though.)
Second, once you've reached Hunchback you can buy Drop-me-nots, make a spare deck and pop one once you're down to the last 30-45 seconds (tiny sliver of pink bar) to stay as that character. They reset the drop meter and rate. Keep an eye on the world weather because Risky Winds will increase your drop rate.
Third, Sora's side has a lot of enemies that increase the drop rate so make sure he has a dream eater with sleep block in his party.
You don't really have to worry about dropping after you reach Hunchback and about 30 Drop-me-nots is plenty to get through the entire story. Always pop one, or start from a fresh drop, before a boss.
There's the Drop Decelerator perk for when you do drop. The last 30 seconds before you drop give more drop points too so use that wisely. But ideally, if you feel you need more time, you can use and buy the item "Drop-Me-Not" and also "Drop-Me-Never" that are really helpful. I think you need to equip them in your deck to use them though so just make another equippable deck with them in it and switch back to your main deck after.
Edit: Oops, someone already gave that advice. Uhh... abuse flowmotion if you have weak commands? The only abilities that are permanent are Support and Spirit abilities, the red and purple ones, everything else is based on your Dream Eater team.

Thank goodness someone else loves the Command Board. I played it just for the sake of playing it.
Also, this confirms it. I'm done with YouTube for the next two weeks. Before BbS came out in the US I got spoiled on
Eraqus dying because of YouTube suggestions.
I jumped off KH1 (PS3) during the Tarzan level. Against my better judgement because of my other games I need to play and finish I want to jump back in. The passion of the fanbase is contagious.
Do you think I should start back over if I don't remember much from my time with the game, or am I not missing much story up to that point? How many hours is that anyways?

I love the command board as well, I do wish they would localize more of the Fortune Street/Itadaki Street games.
Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance was another good entry even if they were reckless enough to introduce confusing time travel and weird dream elements that are poorly explained into this among all the already convoluted lore going on. Oh and apparently some of the Org members are alive again and human but they still have nobody powers and for some reason they decided to give Axel a keyblade. It was abit random. What a beautiful mess this game is.
I think I still prefer BBS' gameplay though. Flowmotion is fun, the new worlds are great and the improved boss fights are a big improvement over BBS' but the story is becoming more needlessly confusing, don't care for Flick Rush or dream eaters either. The dream eaters were a cute novelty at first but playing the same three minigames over and over again to unlock new spells/attacks and new abilities (that you can't even use unless you have that dream eater in your party) got old pretty quick.
I think its just funner to tear through mobs with command styles and shotlocks and meld in BBS. That and Aqua is the bee's knees.

Tarzan is arguably one of the worst worlds in the series honestly, you can easily get lost trying to find where to go! Keep it up from where you left off mate! Up to that point nothing major happens if I recall correctly.
As for me, I have also been feeling the need to play something KH related while I wait for KH 3, and well, I finally got around to play Re:Coded, just finished Olympus Coliseum, and damn, this is actually great fun! This game really looks like the devs just wanted to have fun with different gameplay styles, while they may not be completely well implemented (or deep), it's pretty fun to have a change of pace from world to world.
And the gameplay is also pretty cool and a very nice implementation of the command deck from BBS and DDD, I believe I prefer the way Sora's abilities grow here, when compared to DDD, and it also has the command melding from BBS (not as deep though). I'm very impressed by the way this game plays, considering it is a DS title.
Now I'm excited to see what kind of gameplay change they bring in Agrabah, so far it was 2D sidescroller, on-rails shooter and turn-based combat.
Glad our passion is infecting you haha. Not much story has happened by that point, you're probably better off just continuing where you left off especially since KHI starts with some of the worst worlds in the franchise. All the KH games have like 30 hours of just the main game. If you want to better understand KHIII, KHI isn't the most relevant by now but it doesn't hurt to play it either, it's up to you. The more relevant games are Birth by Sleep and Dream Drop Distance but they're very different from KHI and KHII gameplay-wise
Thanks for the info guys! At the moment I don't feel so pressured to be ready for KH3 (maybe that will change if critics rave when it comes out) so I'm going to make an effort to play all the games before I get to 3. I will say besides forgetting some of the combat mechanics (or maybe not, im just attacking and using one of three spells while locked on) I immediately was charmed again by the music and world.
By the way, is it true that the final Fantasy character appearances fade away as the series progresses? Have we seen any in the promotional material for 3?

After KH2, they showed up less and less. There's none in Days, one in BBS, and 3D had TWEWY characters instead. For story reasons, Coded mainly follows KH1, so it has all the FF characters from that game, but no new ones. There's been absolutely no FF characters shown in trailers for KH3, and Nomura has been downplaying their importance in interviews for a while now.
I remember when YouTube spoiled maskless Vanitas for me with a stupid thumbnail. I'm staying off of it this time.
Man, Sulley looks so much better now (top is from the D23 trailer, bottom is yesterday's countdown video):
Dude picked up Ventus by his whole ass head like it was nothing
He was doing pretty good for himself at his age, tbh
Originally that was the clip I used, but then I realized I could sync this one to the music I chose lmao
Thanks, folks. Was able to clear a world without having to touch the Drop system. Now to just sorta... power my way through it, I guess. I don't really get the Dream Eater stuff and I'm not sure I care to. It's such a weird game.
Finally went and got a digital pre-order on PlayStation 4. I was originally going to get a disc copy on Xbox One, then a deluxe copy, then a digital copy instead since my younger brother and I both have our own Xbox One's and would just need one copy that way, so we save money. But I got a PlayStation 4 Slim about a month ago during the holidays, so my younger brother wanted to get it on PlayStation 4 digitally instead, since he has a Pro and would prefer to continue playing the game on a PlayStation console like he's used to. So yeah.
Got it over 2 hours ago, so the time remaining is wrong.
The theme is nice.

If anything Fragmentary Passage let me know shotlock was gonna be in 3.Wait...so shotlocks are back?
Yeaaaaaah booooyy!
Really enjoying that feature being back in Fragmentary Passage, assumed it was just here for Aqua.
Low key trying to figure this approach with how I'm gonna do release. The plan is to get me a 2TB SSHD prior to Tuesday then when Tuesday rolls around put that in my KH3 ps4 pro when that comes in but before that I have to back up my orginal ps4 in prep to dump it on the the ps4 pro. Still though since I'm gonna play it the minute my copy unlocks at midnight though so this is gonna get some play on the OG ps4 but I hope the system comes in asap Tuesday but I'm nervous cause now I'm at the mercy of delivery for a video game product and of course they don't always come on time.
Each Keyblade has its own shotlock, which is neat.Wait...so shotlocks are back?
Yeaaaaaah booooyy!

You are only forced to drop, like, 6 or 7 times through the game. Past the first world where they introduce the mechanic, you only need to drop every few worlds to keep Sora and Riku somewhat synched within the story. The rest of the time you can just use Drop Me Nots. Don't leave it at the last 30 seconds or so. Always keep it at a level where you can beat a boss if you happen to run into one.
OK guys, a lot more people got copies of the game, finished it and are giving out story spoilers.
We're talking about more than 3 people already....They will even do joint a joint spoiler session and tell their opinion about the game.
I mean...we still have 9 days but for anyone wanting to avoid spoilers I would suggest you to avoid twitter, youtube and reddit entirely.
I think I'll bail out of the spoiler thread too, this leak is getting messier and messier by the minute :/.

Thank you very much! Time to install all the extensions to keep spoilers away.
Thanks for the heads up, I ignored that thread a while ago but I admit that every once in a while I popped in to see what was being talked about. Guess I'll stop doing that if story spoilers are out there.
I ruined a couple of KH games for myself because I was way too hyped and wanted more and more info at the time, but I'm actually OK this time around, so I'll wait for the game to be in my hands.
I got kinda spoiled on something from a YouTube thumbnail earlier. Not too bummed because a trailer heavily suggested this was in, but it still would've been nice not to know.
I really hate YouTube's "personalized home page" being the default, especially on their mobile app. Everyone just wants their subscriptions!

Damn I'm so sorry 😭 Scary how quickly they all popped up. Time to go on an internet blackout except for ERA.
I've been on twitter one day since the game leaked in some places and as soon as I opened twitter a spoiler popped up.
Luckily it was just a neat easter egg that I originally thought was the daily KH post, but nope. Don't think it's ever been this scary on social media for me before a games release.

Guys I can't recommend video blocker enough for blocking the youtube spoilers, it has worked wonders for me so far!
And I'm not going near twitter for one month, this thread will be the only way I get KH related stuff for the next week! I trust you guys won't disappoint!

I don't use Reddit that much and don't use Twitter at all, so that's taken care of. I have a video blocker extension on my laptop, so I should be good there. I think youtube on my phone is the only dangerous place since there's no way to block videos on Android (unless there is?) and pushing other interests to show up on recommended videos besides KH. It's getting real scary now to avoid spoilers
