Yeah you heard that right. I wish I never would feel the need to say this about a long awaited finale for one of my favourite game series of all time, but after the finale and ending I feel I have to vent about this bullshit.

 

Spoiler

 

* The Non-disney characters look lifeless and badly animated in the Unreal engine cutscenes

* No Coliseum, Secret Bosses or side-content of any kind minus the Arcade and Bistro

* Only one non-Disney world that has a use besides one cutscene

* Keyblade graveyard is just four corridors and a save point. Twilight town doesn't even have anything interesting in it. You can't even visit the train station or the usual spot and they REMOVED. THE SKATEBOARDS.

* No second stories to worlds like in KH2. I legit thought after saving Aqua/Ven, we were going to go on missions in the Disney worlds together and see people like Ven/Axel or Riku/Aqua interact with one another, unlocking "Part 2s" in those worlds where the plot 'really begins' like in KH2. NOPE straight to Keyblade Graveyard and the bullshit that takes place thereafter.

* Worlds feel like open empty amphitheatres like DDD. Only exception to this rule was the PotCaribbean world (admittedly the highpoint of the game)

* No Final Fantasy Characters new or returning

* Last Org XIII member backstories alluded to and then firetrucking skipped (Find out in our shitty mobile game!)

* Reaction Commands removed for shitty Disney attraction rides that ruin the pace, difficulty and feel like Ads for Didneyworld

* Literal GARBAGE finale and final boss fight. Felt like a side-boss, not on the level of Dragon-Xemnas.

* ZERO time for the Guardians of Light to socialise/ have any firetrucking interaction whatsoever after saving Aqua

* Most Anti-Climatic Climax in game history

* The entire climax minus the unnecessary timewarp shit with the Final World was COMPLETELY PREDICTABLE. No actually it was completely unpredictable because of how COMPLETELY BLAND IT WAS! There was NOTHING! You just mow down the Org members, get awkward mid-battle cutscenes of them recanting their ways and that's it. There were even Org XIII members who were traitors! WHY didn't they act in the Finale then? Why is it just a royale of gimped Org XIII member fights? Then you timewarp into Xehanorts' past and stay there for all of two seconds as you blandly beat the most powerful villain canonically in the series in the blandest way possible. (For a fulfilling finale, think something like the finale of Fullmetal Alchemist (Brotherhood/manga) or something. You know what I mean)

* NO Non-Disney key blades besides Star Seeker, Kingdom Key & the reskin of Kingdom Key from the mobile trash

* Xehanorts new voice actor completely sucked

* Most of the Music was an awful mishmash of mismatching motifs(Boss theme #2 and the Scala Ad Caelum music for example, Vanitas' theme was straight up violated and is out of tune) and had a lot of broken sounding chords. Did Yoko Shimomura really compose this?

* Kairi and Axel did firetrucking nothing

* Absolutely no battle choreography in the cutscenes for the FINAL BATTLE, firetrucking BBS did it better. EDIT: They made a fully firetrucking rendered epic CG trailer for Verum Rex, a literal non-game reference to Versus XIII in the toy story world but couldn't make anything outside of janky Source Film-maker animated segments for the Final Clash between the 7 Lights and 13 Darknesses? I'm sorry What the F*&%!? Is this Disney influence?

* Chirithy needs to be Dark Firaga'd firetrucking cancer macguffin with an AIDS voice

* Maleficent and Pete didn't even firetrucking do anything

* Sora gets no crazy powers like he does in KH2. Just shitty Disney transformations & Second Form which just lets you use Sonic Blade

* Whole game feels rushed and shoddily put together

* HE DOESN'T EVEN KISS KAIRI

* Half the game was a Disney Ad, the other half was just an Ad for the next firetrucking KH game

* **Did I mention NOTHING gets explained?**

 

Nomura has gone full hack. After the ending I'm dead inside and feel like I've been betrayed. 13 years. It wasn't supposed to be this way.

Wow the dude just talked about his opinion, didn't say anything on the lines of "You're a moron if you don't agree." and some people are beating the crap out of him/her. Chill, everyone. The man/woman was just disappointed. No need to point out what he/she got wrong in your perspective.

I think everyone is on edge because of KHIII not being able to satisfy *every* player. What we all could use is a good selfie meme.

I wouldn't call this "beating the crap" out of them just because some are defending their own opinion... No one really insulted them nor have they been immensely disrespectful.

Of course they have a right to state their opinion, as negative as it may be, but freedom of speech doesn't mean others aren't allowed to do the same and answer with disagreement as long as it's kept civil. 

That's the point of a discussion, isn't it? If everyone only ever agreed with each other it would hardly be more than a superficial conversation of perpetually agreeing parties that doesn't lead anywhere beyond "I agree".

No offense, but they chose to post a one-sided perspective on a public forum. If they didn't want people to disagree with them too then it would be better not to post them openly and talk to people privately who share the same opinion. 

Which doesn't mean that it wouldn't be better if the discussions would become a little less heated but in this thread in particular, I didn't really see much to warrant it being called "beating the crap" out of them. If it was, I'm sure the moderators would have interfered the moment people went way out of line.

Yeah can't say much about that. I'm probably overreacting.

I don't think it was the worst game, but I do agree with a lot of the bullets the OP posted, just not as harshly.  Pointed out a lot of things I was thinking while playing the game in regards to the story, character interactions or lack of, difficulty, etc.  Felt like the game focused more on pleasing Disney company and indeed being a big advertisement for their stuff, instead of focusing on the original characters in Kingdom Hearts and story.
