Sorry I meant to say I hope that the police use maximum force and kill or maim a bunch of innocent people, thus paving a way for a proletarian uprising and socialist utopia


also here's a stupid take

I looked it up and there are a couple of non-Yoko composers they brought on this time around and I guess that explains why the soundtrack ranges from kingdom hearts to generic jrpg

just finished monsters inc, heading to frozen land. before i get there i need an opinion

i'm already playing on Proud and it still feels fairly easy, i'm debating starting a new game and staying level 1. my save riht now is like 10 hours but im pretty sure that's about 3 hours of gameplay in 10 hours

does level 1 locking honestly make a huge difference?

Final boss sequence spoilers:

So even though most of the Org XIII fights are group fights each boss also has a 1v1 mode programmed where they have completely different behavior and a different moveset that activates when you defeat their ally. So for example, Dark Riku becomes a new boss fight if you defeat Xigbar first. This is presumably for balance reasons because if they both used a 1v1 moveset at the same time there would be BBS levels of bullshit going on 100% of the time but if they stuck with their group moveset solo it'd be too easy.

With this in mind it would presumably be relatively easy to make another Garden of Remembrance type superboss arena and I hope that isn't wishful thinking on my part

I was really disappointed when I realised there wouldn't be any organization fights in the Disney worlds. Instead the build up and the pay off are hours apart. The assembly line approach to the boss fights in the KBGY doesn't feel as climactic.

Is this for an achievement? I'm trying not to look at a list until I'm done with the game. Though I'm pretty sure playing the fake Tiger games nets you one and I'm not sure I want to subject myself to it.

You need 'a high score' in each one which you can get by getting the second stage and then intentionally dying since there's no starting score to beat. Hell you might even just be able to quit out, I dunno if it still counts it then. Finding them all is harder.

Maleficent is so good at exuding menace; no matter how many times she fails, I can't help but take her totally seriously, whether she's talking about controlling darkness with an ancient book of prophecies, or talking about wanting to destroy Mickey Mouse with the help of Pete. I'm so glad she's the main bad guy of this series, Kingdom Hearts.

So out of curiosity, do you ever actually fight Maleficent and/or Pete at some point or do they mostly just hang out in the background looking for the box the whole game?

Look, I never cared that the FF characters weren't relevant to the plot. I don't need them to be relevant to the plot, I just need to beat them up. As far as I'm concerned, this isn't Kingdom Hearts 3 until a Sephiroth boss fight has been patched in. :colbert:

Hey Kingdom Hearts 3 devs I have a question: Why 300

Why not like 100. Or 50. Why 300

edit: What a loving momentum killer this is, god. The Frozen world was so much better than the Pirate world so far

I got 500 just exploring the area like normal. Just walking around the town, swinging as you go and finding the caches via normal treasure exploring gets you that number. Meanwhile, you had to climb the same mountain 3 times in Frozen.

Pirates of the Caribbean 3 scenes without Zimmer's score is embarrassing. I laughed at some of the dramatic music in the Pirates area. You go from this ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnHXRyabx2A ) to whatever this game has.

I also don't get the Disney music choices. We get all of Let it Go but only a hint of the (better) music from Tangled? Toy Story has its theme playing through the stage, but nothing else? Huh?

The third is technically a descent, but they still tell you you have to climb it again at first, just adding to the frustration.

I wish every song in this game was composed by Yoko Shimomura. Just 100% Yoko all day long.

I’m on Pirates World and have enjoyed playing through every world so far. Yeah the story flow for Arendelle was iffy, Hans was barely introduced and just wasn’t voiced at all, but I loved exploring the mountain. The 300 crabs in Port Royale didn’t bother me because I’m combing the areas for treasure anyway, I got 500 crabs without really trying and I was mostly just absorbed with the cool pirate town I was walking around with Donald and Goofy. The level design in this game is really great and varied and the worlds are just so absorbing to explore, and Sora is a joy to control just running around places. In that area this game easily beats every other game in the series. I saw people complaining about underwater combat but it seems fine? The lack of situation commands underwater is a bit of a shame but your base combo is strong, underwater magic is pretty powerful, and you don’t lose access to guard or dodge roll at all and Sora swims pretty quickly.

The only issue I’d say the world design really has is that it can be a bit arbitrary identifying what is or isn’t an invisible wall. Also a bit of conservation of detail issue, chests don’t stand out as much as they used to and some alcoves that seem like they’d hide stuff are just inconsequential bits of level geometry.

Yeah, the other thing is that Pirate town is one of the few populated areas in the game. I mean, you don't really interact with anyone, but there's still the illusion of it not being an empty, desolate place.

I'd rather have climbed the mountain several more times than do the awful ship combat even once. It didn't help that I just didn't care about that world or its characters (outside of Davey Jones) and Pirates 3 was a nonsense mess in the first place. It's fine though, after that terrible garbage is probably the best world

So just to make sure I have this straight - the two main classifications of bad guys are heartless and nobodies, and they're created when your heart succumbs to darkness and leaves your body creating two separate entities. The part that's the physical manifestation of the heart is called a "heartless", while the heartless husk that's just a body is, of course, called a "nobody". I feel like they could have done something better with the naming there but I can't quiiiiiiite put my finger on it

The names are more like insults than accurate descriptions. The creature that spawns when a heart gets taken over by darkness? That thing must be heartless. And the empty shell their body leaves behind? It doesn't even have emotions, it's nobody

Are the people who don’t like the gummi sections upgrading their ships? I’m loving gummi combat.


I really enjoyed the Tangled world and never saw the movie. Frozen worlds blows hot egg water so far but the song was very pretty.

I’m sad that the FF characters aren’t around. They weren’t plot important per se, but it was your homebase crew! Leon and Yuffie and Aerith have been there for you for the two other mainline games, fighting alongside you, helping you out. They had more significant roles to Spra’s progression than any previous Disney characters, so having them all completely absent from this game feels really weird, considering how much dialogue they have in KH1/2.

I’m so grateful the 100-acre wood is over so quickly this time.

Ship combat is just hitting the glowy part of the other ships. Much quicker and easier than other non standard combat in thisgame.
