Boy oh boy, it's that game I thought looked cool when I was an idiot teen!

And of course, like most of those games but unlike most of the other inexplicably card-based ones, it turns out that it is actually bad. :v: At least your commentary makes sitting through Sora being dumb and animes being animes tolerable.

I'm pretty sure it's all the fault of the lovely 3d conversion. Chain of Memories for GBA was good. :colbert:

Deep, serious stuff.

Kingdom Hearts' target audience are teenage edgelords, so I don't see why it shouldn't have a bit of existential dread.

I'm glad they decided to improve on Agrabah by giving Genie a perpetual wide-eyed stare like he's taken up a heroin habit.

Sprites being so much cheaper than 3D modeling helps since you avoid the Ceaseless Horrors Genie face. Draw a few faces, make em all blink and you're basically done.

The amount of blinking isn't even the biggest problem.


Letting Genie look straight at anything basically makes him seem psychotic.


They sidestep that issue in the Disney film and the first KH by having him always look to the side or down. Genie still looks really shifty, but at least you don't get to focus on his pinpoint pupils. Keeping him in motion also prevents you from looking at his rictus grin for more than a fraction of a second.

The problem with that idea is that the soul is explicitly mentioned in Ansem the Wise's Reports. It's one of the three components of a being. The body, the heart, the soul, and losing any one or more of them makes something bad happen to you.

That's assuming that Kingdom Hearts defines soul the same way Western society does nowadays. It doesn't. The soul is just life force, the heart is your self. It's basically a medieval/ fairy tale view.

So, it's pretty obvious that Namine is replacing Sora's memories of Kairi. Is she going to start replacing other characters, too?

"Gawrsh, Sora, what was the name of the big blue guy in the lamp?"
"Namine?"

By the way, I thought this exchange was really spot on:

this game's plot reads like fanfiction good lord

Replace "Namine" with an OC/Self-Insert and you're done.

That's pretty much the pitch for this game's plot, isn't it? Namine is writing her own self-insert fan fiction.
