Kingdom Hearts III |OT| Don't Think Twice, Just Face My Fears!
- Thread starter Meelow
- Start date
up through pirates and my initial reaction to this being boring both gameplay and story wise has unfortunately not changed. :(
Started The Caribbean and well, looks like this might be my new favourite world in the series. Kingdom of Corona being champ sure lasted short.
Caribbean was also my favourite world back in KH2. I haven't even watched the movies, I have no idea why this keeps happening lol

I just finished it. It is EASILY my favorite world, with Corona being #2.
If an item has an ability on, is that something you can learn? Can't see it in my ability list.
it's an ability the item grants to you when you wear it.
As far as I'm concerned: disappointed. It could have been great. It's mostly OK in my opnion. The story really let me down, and the gameplay needs some fine-tuning in order to make it excellent. The lack of challenge made the game way too easy.
It's mostly well-liked, albeit with its glaring flaws. There's a lot of information that just came out of the Ultimania interviews and people are currently scouring through old material to find all the set-ups and references, which is impacting how they view the game.
The criticism is definitely a lot more vocal on social media though. It doesn't help that SE's marketing is trying to remain ignorant to it by constantly making ads showing off the same handful of 9's and 10's scores, or more recently, the piss poor way they tried to market Kairi.
It's a solid game, with a few flaws. There are some things that are genuine issues, and some other things that people have been blowing out of proportion IMO.
Finally beat the game last night. Put around 55 hours or so and liked what I played. Wish some of the worlds were more fleshed out.
Battle gates, and a few more trophies to go (Adversaries, Synthesis, Lv 99)

huh, I apparently missed a couple of cutscenes in the Final World with some of the stars. Might've been hard to see
Can I go back to see them or do I just have to YouTube them?

Quick question about Keyblades.
Is there any difference in moveset between Kingdom Key and the one you get from Ephemer? I love the Kingdom Key's form change, and I was wondering if, aside from abilities, Starlight is just a straight up better version?
Second Form has different finishers depending on which one you're using, and of course different shotlocks and abilities. In the end Starlight gets an extra point in magic so it's technically higher stats but they're so similar it really only matters if you want Ars or Ancient Light.
Ah, OK, thanks. I'll stick with Kingdom Key then in that case.
IIRC, you can't see the cutscenes again if you missed them, you have to go look them up on Youtube
you guys weren't kidding about nothing happening in this game until the the end.
mickey and rikku literally just keep going back and forth between the same two locations with no elaboration on what the hell they are actually trying to do. axel and kairu are "training" but just sit on that one log.
things finally seemed to pick up at the end of Pirates.
on the bright side i can never not feel joy when donald talks.

Beat the game, and recently beat the superboss. This was my first KH game (that I completed all the way through anyways), was really enjoyable all things considered. Story was quite messy though, even with me going out of my way to understand it all beforehand, but that was to be expected.
But yea, guess I'm now a KH fan.

Decided to play a ton today and beat Big Hero 6 world in one go. I haven't watched the movie and I had no idea what to expect. I thought it was great overall, but the ending was a little rushed.
Now I can say that my Disney World Ranking is:
Pirates > Tangled > Big Hero 6 > Hercules > Frozen > Toy Story > Monster > Pooh
But I thought all the worlds were really good. Easily the best in the series.
I shouldn't have exited the world, tho, as I was stuck for what seemed endless cutscenes and boss fights with no breaks. Kind of sad because the plot finally started to pick up.
Excited for the endgame. Will def finish it this week, maybe in the next couple of days if I don't have all that much left.

When Aqua cried after finally getting out of there, it was the saddest fucking thing. While I wish it could have been written better (ha) the line about her waiting a decade with no one coming to save her hit so fucking hard.

Your first mistake was watching recaps. Those games aren't really spin offs. Birth By Sleep and 3D directly set up 3 for instance.
But yeah, some of that stuff is fine
Xemnas' last speech is a continuation of his character from KH II where he admits he can't feel and can't remember what else there is in a heart besides hate and rage.
Sora doesn't pity ASOD. They don't talk while he dies. That's Riku.
MX isn't a softie. He straight up lost and was dying.
Sora's character is pretty but it's meant to be.
KH 1 Kairi: "Sora, don't ever change."
I mean he does angst still.
Sora x Kairi is continuously slammed into your head for most of the series. Xion takes Kairi's form because of she's his most powerful memories, Kairi is the link the Sora getting his memories back after COM, Sora humiliates himself for Saix so he can get Kairi back etc. It's just that Kairi doesn't get enough screentime.
That said, Kairi's treatment is tragic but don't expect anything out of it. It's not gonna happen. People should just hold out hope for other female characters like Aqua or Xion.

That's because it's not in the game. The thread title is the two theme song names stitched together.
I am so excited about this. I had resigned to the fact that we would only ever get the first 4 games. Each of his mangas were better than the last, so KH3 has the potential to be amazing.
Man, while it could have been handled way better, I am into what I imagine is halfway through the final world and I'm getting emotional. The music alone is hitting the big feels.
I am sure that everyone thinks these final Organization XIII fights could have been handled MUCH better. But damn, their final words are like thorns to my nostalgia. Especially Luxord's, he was always my favourite with Larxene.
Just beat the game. Some moments made me very teary-eyed.
I am VERY happy with every ending. Easily my favourite final boss fight, and my favourite game in the series. Have to think about it, but I think it was a solid 7/10.
I literally expected the game to turn so damn bad and the fact it came out and turned out so good is so surreal.
I cannot wait for the future of the series.
Basically every damn time any of the trios cried and hugged each other, damn

Got the Platinum last night. Synthesis wasn't that bad once I found a spreadsheet and saw I had mostly everything I needed. Almost fell asleep during the grind to Lv.99, the EXP boost via cuisine helped, and just endless 1MP Thundaga spam
I'm considering the game completed, though the only things I'm missing are a Lv.99 Gummi ship (at Lv.98) and the 9999 Heartless Gummi mission.

I got the Platinum!!! My first legit game Plat. It was fun for the most part. The worst part was the chef one I think. Those fucking eggs. Ugh. I had most of the materials for synthesis, but finding the final Orichalcum and trying to farm it through asteroids was no fun.
Even the devs acknowledging in the game that no one can keep the plot and names of people straight. 😂
70+ hours, was going for Platinum and 100% completion. Played Banana flan minigame. Crashed. Save data gone 🙃
I fucking hate Square-Enix. Not sure I can start over.
No I don't have Playstation+. Just got my first PS4 when I got a Pro a couple months ago just for this fucking game.
How have they not fixed this bug after this long or at least tried to warn people about it? Ridiculous.
Does anyone know how fast this game goes when skipping cutscenes?

Just finished the Frozen world and damn.
Tangled while still being pretty much the movie + sora had some great scenes, had you run around with Rapunzel helping you out, characters looked great with Flyn and the horse, I don't mind if it's just a copy of the movie with gameplay thrown in, I'm all for that.
But they just glanced over Frozen, it seemed they spent all their money on the song and animations and didn't have money for the rest of the world, Anna looked like she was from a barbie game at points, no exploring her castle, it was just you walking up a mountain. Barely any interactions with Anna and Elsa, Christopher and such, they skipped right to the end of the movie without any scenes, no scenes with elsa in her castle against the army, you don't even really see the main villain nor doe she have lines. So weird for one of their biggest flagships at the moment.
A shame, I was really looking forward to the Frozen world as well.
Monsters Inc was pretty cool though!

My girlfriend's brother is special needs, and she and I are trying to help him progress in Kingdom Hearts 3. It looks like he's played for nearly 113 hours, but his characters are level 3. We've never really played any Kingdom Hearts games before, so we're basically trying to figure out where he is in the game and what he should do next. It looks like he's unlocked all the levels (maybe wrong). Is there a quick way to identify next story mode quests or anything like that?
If he's only level 3 that far into the game, it's possible that he accidentally turned on the "Zero Experience" option for a long while. It does as it sounds, your characters don't level up at all. I wouldn't recommend having it on.
As far as I know, there's no way to see what precisely what part of the game you're currently working on. If you go to the world map (via a save point), you can quickly see which levels are unlocked. Pressing L2/R2 should show other areas if they're available. In order they should be:
Area 1
Hercules
Twilight Town
Toy Story and Tangled
Area 2
Frozen and Monsters Inc.
Pirates of the Caribbean and Big Hero 6
Area 3
Keyblade Graveyard
Thank you very much! We stumbled around a bit until we found an area that seems to progress the story. We were tasked with 'defeating mysterious adversaries', but they were working us over. I think he might be under-leveled for that mission, but we'll work with him on leveling up his group.
If you're in
a bright white town on the sea and the 'mysterious adversaries' are flying in the air and are all visually the same, wearing black and red cloaks
LOL - Yep!
That was certainly it. I could take down about 2 or 3 of them, but was shocked at how hard it was. Is this something he could've reached out of order, or has he just been grinding that game so much he made it there?
Just managed to grind it out, it seems
He's
Literally in the first phase of a 6 phase final boss lol
Oh that's brutal! Think the best route is to deactivate Zero EXP (assuming he has it equipped) and then encourage him to grind out other areas?
Pretty impressive he's done this. He can't even read, but he's beaten OOT just brute forcing it. I don't really have an eye for the combat in KH3, but he looks pretty competent when trying that battle. He certainly knows how to use the heal spell.

Yes, I would definitely turn off Zero EXP and go back to some of the previous areas. While he's there grinding he can also find treasure or whatnot that he's still missing.
I donno what difficulty he's on, but if he's made it that far, he's probably better at the game than I am lol.
This endgame is fucking long. I can't believe they make you fight this same heartless miniboss 7 different times lol.
Story still makes no sense even though "things have picked up". At least there is less pointless talking and some fights though.

just fought the huge amount of enemies on the Keyblade Graveyard and reunited with the rest of the team. How many hours do I need to finish the game (including cutscenes). Planning on finishing it today and not sure if it is possible.
I loved the game. It was definitely my favorite. It was a bit long for me. I suppose if you felt like you needed more content you can always grind out all the trophies if you're into that sort of thing
