I stop defending it on my third go round. Sixth if you consider Reverse Rebirth as a separate play through. GBA CoM. GBA R/R. JP PS2 Re:CoM. JP PS2 R/R. English PS2 Re:CoM. English PS2 R/R 60% through - nope I'm out. Eff this game. Never even started PS3 play throughs and won't do PS4 ones either. And the trophies don't stack? LOL FUK U.Could be a case of Stockholm syndrome lol. My thoughts about the game changed during my platinum run on the PS3 which required playthroughs on all difficulty levels. I started to see the game in a new light during my second playthrough.
If you love him, don't make him play ReCoM.We just beat KH1 - he had a harder time with Chernabog than Ansem lol. That was surprising to me. Forgot how prominent Kairi was in the ending of this one. The entire ending video is basically dedicated to her. It makes you think that she might end up doing becoming a major player on KH2... alas.
Might just watch videos for re:COM. I will leave it up to him.
It would have worked better as a movie than 358/2 Days imho. The actual Castle stuff is still pretty fun but the Disney worlds and bosses are just dire and a huge slog - especially if you have just beaten the first game.
Fully agreed. Personally, I would have had the playable games as KH1, KH2, BBS, Re:Coded, D3, and 0.2, and had CoM, R/R, Days, and XBC as movies.It would have worked better as a movie than 358/2 Days imho.

It's just super weird that that's a movie when the story was the weakest part. The gameplay was the most interesting the series has been, what with them changing genres every other world. I mean, turn based battles? Run and Gun? What?
I would have paid +20€ for a playable 358/2 Days, fuck the haters.
Days however was by far the most tedious infuriating game in the series. Like, even CoM wasn't so meandering and dragged out. Plus it was the first time we we revisiting worlds so it didn't feel quite as bad.I would have paid 100€ and a kidney for a playable 358/2 days.
Union Cross should have been setting the stage for KH4, not tying into KH3.Hoping they ramp up the story of Union Cross as KH3 looms closer. Last I checked the latest non-Disney related story stuff was in September? Been following it via the YouTube translations since I'm way behind.
I thought it kind of was? Didn't Nomura says Master of Master won't be in KH3? I assume he is gonna be some sort of focus in KH4 and beyond..Union Cross should have been setting the stage for KH4, not tying into KH3.
Nomura said they'll be ramping up the story in Union X now to tie in with KH3, so we should get some decent plot developments soon. He mentioned how the Ven in Union and other Ven and how they tie in together, so the assumption is that it'll explain how he ended up the way he did in BBS after Union X.Hoping they ramp up the story of Union Cross as KH3 looms closer.

I'm sure they'll do that with the Master of Masters and Luxu sometime.Union Cross should have been setting the stage for KH4, not tying into KH3.
I find it pretty funny that Chi developed all the way from being this browser game, into a story about the keyblade war, into a story setting up future plot elements and tying in things pre-BBS into the current time.It seems to just be a place for Nomura to dump whatever set up he wants for future games.

I don't know anything about Union X story other than what was in that "movie"
I do want to see MoM in KH3 because I liked what I saw of him in the movie but he already said he won't be there... although I don't fully trust Nomura. :P
Curious Luxu will have some role...
Yeah I think it was more interesting when they did updates in the original Chi, because it wasn't as padded out and we got plot developments more often, so it was exciting following it month to month. At times it feels padded out in the Disney worlds with Union to delay the main plot. (I guess maybe because it ties in with KH3?)That's good. It has me engaged despite me having very little grasp on what's actually going on with the War storyline, and where everything is actually taking place. A Nomura storyline that's delivered this piece-meal is actually painful.
The gazing eye's probably gonna be a Xehanort X thing where they can see everything if they have the eye around.
Really curious about the box though, perhaps it holds the key to surviving the Keyblade War and making it to the next world.Yeah I think it was more interesting when they did updates in the original Chi, because it wasn't as padded out and we got plot developments more often, so it was exciting following it month to month.

There's not much more to it than what is in the movie. They've spent, like, 9 months revealing 5 people who survived the Keyblade war and are meant to be the new union leaders. And not even properly introducing them, just showing who they are.I don't know anything about Union X story other than what was in that "movie"

Maybe don't lean left?Started my full replay through the series.
Jesus Christ, the Jungle Slider mini-game is absolute trash. Why can't I grab the final fruit in the 5th stage? I lean to the left the entire time and Sora doesn't grab the damn thing.
Could also be at MS and Sony both, just like FF15. It's big enough that both probably would be happy to feature it and I doubt Sony bothers having a marketing partnership. MS in particular got a positive reception for showing stuff like DBZ so they must be thinking, why not show KH3 and get positive buzz, especially since they have their stuff before Sony. This is total asspull but they could for example do a traditional compilation trailer of many worlds in one conference and deeper look of one particular (Frozen) in the other.So is Square gonna have it's own conference or are they gonna drop the KH3 bomb during the Sony Conference?
I hope they don't do a live demo in the conference. They are recipe for a disaster imo. Maybe a unaltered gameplay video at Square Enix presents or something.If they do a live E3 demo of KH3 like they did FFXV let's hope they pick a moment in the game that isn't a mess to play.
Yeah it's a shame. While KH2's organization members had some nice qualitys to them I feel like it was so much more interesting to see the in-fighting and rebellion between them in Chain of Memories, along with their personalitys.Watching the cutscenes of Chain of Memories... the Organization members in this one were so much better than the ones we got in II (minus a few like Saix, Xemnas, and Xigbar). I'm glad we are going to see Marluxia again. Larxene and Vexen were great.

I know a bunch of folks don't really like Chain of Memories but I thought it had a interesting story along with characters outside of the Disney worlds that carried it quite well, which made the drop off in writing quality unforunate in 2.
It keeps getting hinted at, how they used to be friends and have some kind of goal together (that might've changed a little for Saix which would explain why they are so distant nowadays), but yeah, overall that stuff is still very much a mystery.There was that bit in 358/2 Days where it seemed Saix and Axel were conspiring together, tieing back into what happened in Castle Oblivion. That plot point hasn't gotten much attention since.
Eh. She's a princess of light and had gone through a lot to be where she was, I think she had shown enough resolve and strength of heart to be able to wield one. I never thought it was all that inexplicable. It's kinda silly they decided to explain it later like they did. I didn't think that was anything that warranted having to be explained.As much as people complain about how complicated and dumb everything got in later games, I'd strongly argue that KH2 is the worst written game in the series. Even when everything got really crazy later on, the main characters were generally written fairly well. The character writing is a mess is KH2, to say nothing about the completely random stuff later games had to fix, like Kairi inexplicably being able to use a keyblade.
I highly doubt they do it at MS conference. They barely promote the game on Xbox as is. I honestly feel it will it will most likely be during the Sony conference seeing as it was first announced in that conference.Could also be at MS and Sony both, just like FF15.

I don't think SE does a conference but it could happen. I just feel like they weren't too happy about the overall reception of E3 2015. It felt pretty clunky and all the attention was at FF7 announcement at Sony anyway so it's like, why even bother doing your own thing at that point. Especially when the big 3 get a much bigger audience and potentially eyes of new customers. The kind of people who watch SE conference are also very likely to buy their products regardless if they hold one or not.
What was more odd was that randomly asshole line she gave after it.Kairi getting a Keyblade in KH2 was so odd. Riku just casually gives her it lol.
They have been pretty platform neutral in their promoting minus being announced at Sony's stage at E3. They don't even use button promts to keep the trailers platform neutral.I highly doubt they do it at MS conference. They barely promote the game on Xbox as is. I honestly feel it will it will most likely be during the Sony conference seeing as it was first announced in that conference.

"You know Sora's completly hopeless without us"
There hasn't been a chance for MS to show the game yet (and who knows if they wanted to considering nobody knew the launch date). E3 2013 was announcement and it obviously was 1 event only, next time it was at Square E3 2015 presser and that was the last time it has ever appeared at E3.Like I said I don't see it being at MS. More at Sony conference. MS did absolutely nothing to promote KH3 at all as they don't even have the collections on there yet which doesn't make any sense seeing as it's coming out on that system. It makes more sense to see it on Sony or there own. Sorry I'm just not seeing it on MS press conference at all.
