[UNMARKED SPOILERS] Kingdom Hearts III & ReMind DLC- Spoiler Thread

If there's a crit mode in the files, that pretty much confirms they are working on it. That makes me happy.
In fact it might be for the best that they held off a bit to see what criticism the balancing on proud got to further work on making crit mode feeling good to play.
Having half the health and taking a significant amount of damage sounds like 0.2 crit mode. I liked the extra damage output in that game but you died far too easy from being stunlocked or projectiles from core heartless making it feel a bit unfair imo. Having half the MP sounds fair to me though, just hoping magic doesn't get buffed.
I wish square enix could just come out and say that they are working on it officially.
I hope aerial recovery. I know it's tied to an event and not to levels, but it would be really helpful to have it from the start
Just a random observation:
In the final battle, Sora mentions that a real leader knows that destiny is beyond his control.
Sound familiar? The MoM also believes that destiny is beyond control. He mentioned this to Ira in Back Cover when the latter asked if they could change the fate of the world and the upcoming war.
Sora might not be the MoM like most of you here have pointed out but it's an interesting POV to have in common.

This one's more vague too, but the Master of Masters describes him dissapearing as
And while it's vague and may not relate to Sora the way his dissapearing is described by him is just so strangely similar to how i'd describe that scene.
I certainly think a different incarnation of Sora that got lost in time/worldlines would be a interesting route to take as the villain of the next saga. (not like it'd be that weird for his personality to be different too, considering how different Xigbar was to Luxu back in his earlier years)
Why not both? 🤔
I dig the theory that his personality/body is split into multiple people/parts. So Demyx may be his playful side, Luxord his chance/luck related one etc.
Wouldn't be that nuts after getting 13 norts :P
Best moment in the game: Terra redeeming himself and revealing that he was the Guardian all along while Rage Awakened plays and he finally has his revenge on Xehanort. I know it had been theorized for a long time by fans but that was probably the most cathartic moment in the series bar Blank Points for me. I can safely consider Terra to be a badass character now albeit stupid. Having those three reunite made me extra sentimental. Yen Sid going all "you shall not pass" on everything was a pretty awesome moment too.
Some other side notes: Roxas coming back felt kinda weak in comparison. I think I was happier to see Xion back and on our side. Master Xehanort having a redemptive moment after the monstrous and terrible things he's done was tacky but expected from this series, though I will admit that the scenes with him and Eraqus were a little touching. Thrilled to see Namine come back into the swing of things but it was weird that Riku was the one to pick her up - where was Roxas? Lea's new outfit looks great. Isa is such a weird character to me, I don't get his motivations at all other than jealousy.
The constant killing and reviving of Kairi is getting irritating considering she has barely been a character since the first game. Either make her a full-fledged character or just end her suffering lol.
That final stretch starting with the Keyblade Graveyard was great and was the perfect conclusion for someone who has followed the entire series. They need to avoid going full Dream Drop Distance in the future though and make the Disney worlds more relevant to the actual storyline. We should have had a fight against Larxene in the Frozen world or a faceoff against Vanitas as Sora in Monstropolis. The "beat world and learn more about the plot" method is a little thin. They could stretch it out a little bit more. I am happy with the title overall though, not sure how I would rank it, but I left it feeling mostly satisfied. Onward to the platinum now.

I'm not sure how I'd feel if Sora DID end up being MoM, but I think it's convoluted enough to not be entirely too surprising for Nomura. We already have clones upon clones in game, time travel, and now "world lines." If they explore alternative universes, having a version of Sora be MoM would be interesting because we know Nomura relates more to Xehanort and his versions, but he wants the story to continue to be about Sora... Combine the two, and Nomura can indulge all he wants in an edgy, possibly antagonistic version of Sora (that's not Vanitas, but actually Sora himself.)
At this point, it's anybody's guess where this game's plot will go. Every time I see a theory and think "That won't happen," I'm reminded of everyone ridiculing the "xigbar is luxu" person and just have to accept anything can happen. If Nomura wants it, he will get it.

Sora is not MoM iyam, it seems more of a set up of the two as ironic mirrors to the other. Being Kingdom Hearts, though, nothing is off the table.
This is exactly why I think they didn't include it at launch. It's good to know that the KH2FM/0.2 damage boost is in effect, but given the overwhelming amount of offensive options Sora has relative to KH2FM, slapping the KH2FM Critical parameters on KH3 Critical and calling it a day wouldn't be enough.
Another timeline Sora became MoM because he lost the Kairi of his world, it will be revealed that a heart connects all the Soras of each timeline; at the end original Sora and Riku will end up rediming him :p
I think they would have to fine-tune all the different attacks to make it work well. Right now some attacks are way too strong compared to regular attacks, and simply increasing the damage boost overall could make it bad.
Maybe they should rebalance how ridiculous magic is rather than just halving the MP.
0.2 on critical was shit due to the lack of MP.
Throw a dart at the cast.
See if you hit someone who has either been in sora, is sora, looks like sora or is xehanort or has had xehanort in them.
Of the original cast there are
Ienzo
Ansem
Aeleus
Dilan
Axel
Aqua
And the foretellers cause duh. And not even all of them cause Luxu was also Xehanort
I'm also incredibly on the fence about Eraqus
I laughed at the jokes of Sora being the Master of Masters but... dammit. Now I have to consider it because I initially dismissed the theory that Xigbar was the Master of Masters at first too. Oh boy. Bring it on, Nomura. I'm ready for another wild ride.
Those three humiliated the Seeker of Darkness and lived. They're legit.
You didn't imagine anything, it's legit! Works on the Monstropolis boss too.
Yeah, SE was developing both BBS and Dissidia 012 around the same time and for some reason decided Laguna could only be in one game.
On a related note, they were also planning on including the young RG crew but that world was already so crowded that they didn't want to distract from the main story :(
I'm not?
I love the game just fine.
The story though, yeah. Kinda mad about that.
Sure, I don't see anything in this thread saying I can't complain on this narrative like it damn well deserves.
I'd complain with ya but I think you like the chi/union cross X mega edition worldine Z stuff so we'd wind up butting heads instead
The only thing I like from Chi is the art style and Skuld's pretty cool I guess.
I never stated one thing or another about subjectivity or objectivity anywhere in this thread.
So you can kindly fuck off.
You don't have to. But you do complain a lot about failures in the subjective sense as though they're objective facts in quick shotgun bursts without elaboration.
I complain about things I dislike, because I dislike them. I put no objective spin on those things. And if i don't elaborate on them, how can they be statements treated as objective facts?
They're shit I don't like. That's how it fucking goes.
Would you like a "in my opinion" in every post for your sensibilities?
MAN. I really hope we eventually see them... (the Radiant Garden crew and Laguna, but I do not expect to see the former in their younger days at all) but I'm doubtful at this point. Although, a tiny part of me is hopeful because of the possibility that future games will have more Square Enix content.
Looking back on the 'trilogy' I feel each of the final boss arenas are
KH1 = World of Chaos/Hell
KH2 = Limbo
KH 3 = Scala Ad Caelum, looks like heaven
KH1 = World of Chaos/Hell
KH2 = Limbo
KH 3 = Scala Ad Caelum, looks like heaven
Traverse town is no more since kh 1 in the realm of light.
Shame, too. Laguna would've fit so well as a cameo considering the game's focus on exploring the past.
They don't need traverse town radiant garden is right there. Their home as established. Yet somehow modeling the non speaking Dylan and xaldin took priority over at least mentioning them
Lmao they're both such nothing characters to me and clearly nomura thought so too but he needed to check a box
