The ending of Monstropolis made me very happy for reasons I hope are very obvious.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
"Sora, you need to get more powerful again. Go to Olympus and see what happens."

[time passes]

"Master Yen Sid, I'm back and it turns out I'm way better at magic than I ever was before and sometimes I can instinct-cast spells at a higher level than I even know, I have all new Limits with Donald and Goofy, some new form-shifting ability that seems to be tied to my specific Keyblade, I have a time-slowing effect where I can do like two dozen attacks in a second, oh and also I pulled no less than four Electric Street Light Parade versions of theme park rides out of nowhere and they destroy everything they see while costing me exactly no resources. Good call on sending me to Olympus!"

"...that was not actually the powers I wanted you to get, go get different ones."



Maybe it's because you cap off the prologue by summoning an LED-bedecked flying railroad roller coaster to fight a Titan by shooting it with fireworks, but my mind went immediately to the God of War games and how before the latest one they'd all throw down the gauntlet by going as over-the-top with spectacle as possible in the very first level. I am very amused that God of War got all retrospective and Kingdom Hearts, of all franchises, seems to have picked up its fallen HEY YOU GUYS WANNA SEE HOW BIG WE CAN MAKE THE ENEMIES AND HOW MANY DIFFERENT INSANE WAYS WE CAN TOP OURSELVES WITH YOUR SUPERPOWERS baton.

Also I already love this game on very short notice and it's going to be very hard to go back to any other game's lesser combat system.

He was also really impressed by Elsa's ice magic despite having been able to use Blizzard for over a year.

Also it's been mentioned before but Riku freaking out for a second when Mickey said that Aqua was like Sora was hilarious to me (the writing in general seems a lot better in this game compared to previous titles).
Why did he react like that? Just because he was having a momentary "oh my god not another person that Sora is carrying around inside himself" or is something going over my head there?

Just got to Twilight Town, game has been pretty great so far

Although I really hope we don't have to fight those Demon Towers too often, they were really annoying in 0.2 and they were still pretty annoying here as well

It's because Sora is a giant dorky dumbass and Riku was like "oh god there are two of them."

(Sorry Riku, there are actually like seven.)

It wouldn't be as bad if that was a good fight, but it's just not.
The only way it makes sense for it to be so prevalent is if it were designed by Nomura's kid.

What's the point of having the maps be in-game items if they're just going to hand them to you at the beginning of every area?

FF7 remake hasn't been in development for 10 years... KH3 wasn't in development for 10 years!

Okay, let's clarify something. "I really want this game to exist because it inevitably is going to" does not equal "It's in development" It was announced in June/July 2013, it ended dev at the start of 2019, it had a 5-6 year Dev Cycle

Why do you think that development work only begins after the game is announced?

Because until someone in an interview inevitably says the answer, speculating that it began development before the announcement is the equivalent of mental masturbation. Also, because it's Square. They don't announce games to get people hyped for their release they basically announce them as they start developing them. That's half the loving problem they have.

Since Amazon has delayed my shipping until Monday now, a question for people who bought a physical copy of the game: do stores with physical copies generally have different stickers on the box or keyboard order bonuses inside the case or whatnot, or do all the physical copies look the same?

Get a fast ship.

Speaking of gummiships, it feels like I was able to put way more weapons on them in the older games. Is your part allowance tied to your level?

I really like all the gummi stuff. I got both teeny ships unlocked and I haven't been to the 3rd world yet. The missions lost some of the good kh2 soundtrack but they are shorter.

SpazmasterX posted:

Yes, it is just tied to your gummi ship level. Around 24 you have around 700 points to play with.


I've also been just playing around with the regular combat. I love how it basically doesn't matter your starting choices because you can equip items to give you grand magic finishers and I take it other great things. Upgrading the keyblade's seems like a really great idea to keep the old ones more useful even though kh2fm already did that with its keyblades.

the opening half hour or so of the first level is hilarious because they've smashed all the foreshadowing meant for the Traverse/Twilight Town level into a Disney stage, so you get this clown car of villains teleporting in front of Sora only to sneer menacingly at him and stalk off-camera for a bit

do you motherfuckers have a queue forming, or what

Does your ability to get situation commands depend on your stats or the keyblade you’re using or something? I would spam magic on enemies with Kingdom Key or Shooting Star and it would get me the -ra level spells like it’s supposed to , but doing the same with the Olympus keyblade and I just get Counter Shield over and over again.

Do you ever get a keyblade form that gives you crazy variations of spells like Wisdom, Master, and Final Form did in KH2? I was a bit disappointed that the magic guns you get from Shooting Star just made every spell a homing dart

You need to use magic building up your combo meter and you have a chance to get grand magic and forms when you fill it up. You need to equip items that unlock the -za spells to change like watera to waterza. I think the more you use the spell when building the meter raises your chances of also getting the grand magic finishers.

I know that what I’m saying is that when I’m using the Olympus keyblade building up to those spells feels like more of a crapshoot then when I’m using Shooting Star or Kingdom key
