It gets better

exactly

Ahhhhh beautiful

"The FF gang represents his home away from home. If your argument is that Nomura couldn't have imagined a scenario where that might come in handy during the climax of the entire series thus far, when Sora is up against the gravest threat he's ever encountered, you might as well just admit that he's a hack."

Also I was looking at my old posts, I was ssuuuuuper angry

I'm just laughing out loud

I liked the intro but honestly? should have had playable kairi

yes i'm still salty about thta

I am..... Super disappointed. How is Kingdom Hearts 3, less interesting than Kingdom Hearts 2? A game that had terrible level design. Yeah the Disney worlds look great. And so what if there's only 8, I'm fine with that too.

 

People are here saying that oh we shouldn't be negative, and we shouldn't have hyped, and we shouldn't have been expecting anything.

Excuse me?! Of course we should have expected things from KH3! How else could we hold square to account!? And my expectations were two very small things. Things that I completely took for granted apparently. How is Twilight Town smaller in KH3 than it is in Days, a Nintendo DS game!? I didn't even realise that this was supposed to be an unreachable expectation.

Why are there no Final Fantasy characters? More importantly why is there no Radiant Garden?! This all screams to me that the dev team just wanted to perfect the Disney worlds and end the plot, original worlds be damned.

It was on them to put it in the game. And don't give me any of that, "there's enough going on in the plot". Bullshit. The plot is, Xehanort finds 13 people. We find 7 people. Then we fight. That's it.

There is more than enough space in there to incorporate the FF characters side plots, which wouldn't even detract from the story. The fact that Nomura apparently couldn't think of even one reason to keep radiant garden playable? That speaks more to his abilities as a writer than a lack of presence in the FF characters importance. Was all of this for nothing?

 

I'm still going to enjoy the game, but if square expect me to pay for FF, tournaments and anything else that came as standard in previous games then I hope to God you'll all join me in the boycott because we deserved better than a half-arsed twilight town

Yikers glad I spoiled game for myself

it's understanable that you were angry tho

Y'know it's werid seeing kh3 fanfics now

they pretty much ALL include radiant garden and the gang

DEFINITELY

It's something everyone expected

And then when it wasn't in half the fans turned around and said "trust the devs"

BUT QUID

HAVEN'T YOU HEARD

THEY WERE ALWAYS SIMPLY CAMEOS

I think about half of them have sora, riku and kairi there at the same time interacting with them and each other rip

THEY DON'T MEAN ANYTHING

Gah I've had enough

You know, I love that argument so much

When fans make better stories than the writers ?

"Dude, they were always cameos"
"Alright, what's your argument?"

Oh, that's right

Oh and there was this super popular idea of kairi ruling radiant garden, or being asked to and decling or something

There's a reason why people were disappointed

because an expectation had been built up

I forgot that being a cameo precludes you from being important to the story in any way

Silly me

And anyway, I fail to see how they can be called cameos in 1&2, they have a decent amount to do

Also the fans seemed to have made the characters act more in-character than they seemed in kh3

and make kairi and aqua more useful

Oh shit I was suuuper mad

" There isn't going to be, and that's because there's too many fans out there who lap up anything KH like it's the best dessert they've ever had.

And anyone who complains gets shouted down into the abyss."

"Truly, a masterclass from Square on how to deceive a fanbase. Just look at this:"

Dammmmnnn.. Next time someone tells me I'm too negative I have to show them these
