Translating puns is a nightmare. Godspeed.

There's a super elaborate triple pun in the first chapter alone, which required a whole paragraph of translation notes to explain. In fact, I'm still not sure if I managed to completely unpack it.

In my experience, not a lot of Japanese puns can be translated into an equivalent English pun (at least not without it sounding really forced), so I usually just add an explanatory note.

The 0.2 thing with Aqua seems so good, it has seriously made me consider picking up KH3 whenever that eventually drops.

Yeah, it looks and feels fantastic. Aqua remains the best Keyblader, especially now that her english VA isn't awful.

I don't know what the naming department was thinking, though. I actually didn't have a problem with 1.5 and 2.5 - those are decent enough ways to signpost "Hey here's the mainline KH remaster plus some bonus content" - but 2.8 is just dumb even before you add on like three subtitles.

Well, I mean, a 3rd of its content does happen after KH2 and before KH3. Nomura's logic as to how he got to .8 was a bit silly though.

EDIT: Specifically, the logic is KH3D = 2.6, KHX = 0, and Fragmentary passage is 0.2 (cause Birth by sleep is 0.1), so adding them all up equals 2.8

It's not fabulous, but I will give it points for letting you call it Kingdom Hearts 3DS for the Nintendo 3DS.

Although I guess I now have to dock it points for being a 3DS game I am playing on my PlayStation 4.

Agreed. But get it homemade by a family that owns a pizzaria and makes their pizzas from scratch.

You can put whatever you like on it, but deep dish, stuffed crust pizza from an actual chicago pizzeria will save your loving soul.
