Like, even if it was just that he wanted to stick to the whole 7 lights vs 13 darkness stuff, Nomura could've just come up with some bs scenario where we got to fight demyx or vexen in a disney world, or just do ANYTHING cool at all
October 29, 2025 at 11:53 PM
Hey I just like it when cool and fun stuff is happening, hopefully with gameplay, and not just cutscenes
October 29, 2025 at 11:50 PM
hey, atleast there was gameplay involved!
October 29, 2025 at 11:47 PM
All they do is appear in a cutscene, call Sora a loser and disappear. Xaldin in KH2 had more relevance in a disney world than all of them combined.
October 29, 2025 at 11:43 PM
Also I don't think 3's disney world plot relevance is that much higher than 2's to begin with but the disney worlds in 2 are still the more memorable ones due to having better gameplay.

There's not a single KH3 disney world mob or boss fight that stands out to me
October 29, 2025 at 11:32 PM
KH2 still has the midpoint part, which while low on story is still a great setpiece that's arguably more memorable than anything in 3.
Everything memorable in 3 is thanks to buildup from previous games. I don't think 3 really achieved anything remarkable as a standalone title except the Final World
October 29, 2025 at 11:23 PM
The game that actually has a prologue?
October 29, 2025 at 11:08 PM
Like I wish Nomura was the crazy unhinged storyteller/writer people online like to pretend he is cause frankly, when I played through KH3 I was just bored out of my mind
October 29, 2025 at 10:34 PM
KH3 by contrast doesn't have any mystery at all. We know where Aqua, Roxas and Namine are. We know who all the villains are, but instead of following any of these plot threads the game just tells us to go screw around and find the power of waking and then it turns out it was inside you all along
October 29, 2025 at 10:30 PM
The problem though is that so much of KH1&2's narrative is built on mystery. We don't know any more than Sora does so we just look for Riku and Kairi throughout the Disney worlds and get active plot development throughout.
October 29, 2025 at 10:29 PM
But also, isn't reasonable for fans to expect the series to do better instead of regressing?
October 29, 2025 at 10:07 PM
Also idk how much the excuse of "it's a KH game" actually holds since to my recollection the only game that literally backloads everything to the end is DDD? All the other entries structured their stories at least better than KH3.
October 29, 2025 at 10:07 PM
Not to be a KH2 shill but KH3 desperately needed a middlepoint to focus on the story. If KH3 just had one single original world that had as much effort and work put into it as a disney one then I think alot of peoples' gripes would have been alleviated, at least in terms of the story.
October 29, 2025 at 10:07 PM
Yeah, the finale where all the characters got like 5min of screen time in a 25+ hour game
October 29, 2025 at 9:46 PM
and you wonder why people feel disappointed after waiting 10+ years to see those characters again?
October 29, 2025 at 9:42 PM
The entirety of KH3 is just
"oh cool, will we get to follow Riku and Mickey as they search for Aqua in RoD?" Nope

"will we get to follow kairi and lea as they're training?" Nope

"Will the story focus on how Roxas will come back?" Nope

Instead we just screwed around in disney filler for 20 hour
October 29, 2025 at 9:36 PM
Like idc at all about FF character being in KH, but it's so funny whenever Nomura is asked about their absence in KH3 he always goes like "well we have so many original kh characters now and we wanted to focus on their stories," and it's like where the hell was any of that focus on them?!
October 29, 2025 at 9:32 PM
I like pretty much all the characters and still think KH3 was rushed and executed extremely poorly
October 29, 2025 at 9:25 PM
The world would have been so much brighter if we got like 6 Monster House sequels instead of all those Harry Potter films
October 22, 2025 at 9:30 PM
Thank you so much!
October 22, 2025 at 6:06 PM
It looks really good! Also I'm about to watch the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya and do you think I should watch it in chronological order or just each season in order? I'm super confused about this
October 22, 2025 at 5:50 PM
I love at the graveyard when Terra explains the reason he attacked Eraqus is because he tried to kill Ven and Aqua immediately after asks how they are supposed to honor Eraqus and it's like wow she really didn't care AT ALL
September 27, 2025 at 6:14 PM
Theatricality and deception. Powerful agents to the uninitiated...
September 21, 2025 at 7:41 PM
They're actually about to release all the FF7R games between KH3 and KH4 lmao
September 5, 2025 at 6:46 PM
Yeah, but I think all the Disney worlds just made it more apparent how KH3 lacked any original explorable worlds which are usually the most memorable parts of any KH game and what sticks in people's minds and what they recall fondly
