hopefully

at the end of the day, it is just game

why you have to be mad

who mad

KH3 had to deal with:

- Having to conclude the gargantuan Dark Seeker Arc after the extremely contrived set up from 3D.

- Nomura having to juggle various projects at the same time.

- Square not paying much attention to the game and always undermining Nomura's efforts (the 2017 post-Toy Story reveal makes this very clear).

- First Kingdom Hearts game made from the ground up to be in a powerful HD console after having skipped the PS3.

- Dev team having low morale after the 2014 engine change made them have to scrap a lot of their work.

- Disney making annoying demands that forced the dev team to often compromise on their vision.

All this problems surely affected Nomura's writing capabilities since you can't just write, you also have to account for character models, assets, time management, budget, and all the ins and outs of the process.

pretty much Esto

you nailed it on the head haha

You can feel Nomura being annoyed at having to conclude the arc, which is why the actual conclusion parts of the story feel rushed and come out of left field while the set ups for future games have more time to breathe.

You can only push a man so far before he starts getting pissed off at it all.

and probably why the ReMind stuff felt so cool and what we wanted because it's what he originally intended for

his way ya know?

No wonder he said he sympathized more with Xehanort than with Sora

ff7r had that sort of feeling of relief
Like Nomura had this project and he didn't have to deal with disney crap or engine changes

haha it's as i said
Nomura made Yozora in his younger image so he can go in and take out Sora himself

Self-insert pog

and even if he loses he's like "Hah, guess you don't need me yet. But you will"

just more involved than Nier and the arena where you can fight the CEO of Square

yep pretty much!!

lol

Remind was very nice, that's for sure

that being said tho
I can't lie and say im not excited for more Pixar worlds

Pixar movies have great stories

I mean, I'm excited for Pixar worlds as well

Remember pre-kh3 when everybody wanted toy story uwu

when the unused models were hype af

But I have this underlying fear that the sheer amount of attention to detail and effort necessary to bring those worlds to life will once again detract from the main story

while it wasnt the best, it was still a cool world

And I think that's a fear that will never go away

oh for sure Esto, i have that fear as well

We'll see

ultimately it depends on what Square thinks of and wants to do with the next KH game
