KH is Disney

[HellboundOrc 2]

It’s literally a Disney game, so no there’s always going to be a strong Disney presence

[Altaninort 0]

They can't really phase it out lol

It's what it is

KH also loses a lot of it's appeal and charm without Disney stuff

That's unfortunate but I'm sure I can endure for the cooler square enix parts and the unreasonably good combat system

[Altaninort 0]

A large component of the hype cycle of any KH game is what Disney worlds we are going to

[10 burpees per tera r loss 0]

Well there are cooler disney worlds and less cool disney worlds

There is Nightmare before christmas, pirates, alice in wonderland versus frozen, little mermaid, tangled, etc

But it is more of a kids game anyway so I guess I shouldn't comlpain too much

[ElectriCole 4]

idk man, having to question your entire existance

is a pretty dark theme for a kids game

[HellboundOrc 2]

The game may appeal to kids, but the story definitely isn’t for them lol

[Altaninort 0]

KH games are thematically dark and have dark elements, but they are at their core kids games

[10 burpees per tera r loss 0]

Yes kingdom hearts does seem like the mystic form of square enix sometimes

[Altaninort 0]

They are made to appeal to kids

A lot of us got into KH as kids, around KH1/KH2 which has Sora commiting suicide, and then him going on a genocide against people trying to be people again. Not to mention CoM which is gaslighting:the game

[ElectriCole 4]

huh com really is gaslighting the game

[Altaninort 0]

Media accessible to and made in mind for kids can still be dark, while at the same time appealing to people older than the age on the box

If you die you become heartless, that's all you need to know about kingdom hearts

[HellboundOrc 2]

It’s fun for the whole family. Disney characters and particle effects for the kids, moral dilemmas and murder for the adults

Ehhh not entirely how it works

[Altaninort 0]

KH appeals to people who grew up with the franchise, but KH3 is no darker than KH1 at a core. The darker themes are things that kids still understand and can recognise as dark, without ever veering into straight up not for kids entirely

[ElectriCole 4]

Yeah there's a liiiiiiittle more to kh than that

[10 burpees per tera r loss 0]

There's actually a defined understanding of it?

[Altaninort 0]

Dying in KH results in you dying

[HellboundOrc 2]

Oh buddy everything in KH has layers on layers

[Altaninort 0]

Becoming a heartless requires losing your heart to Darkness

Actual full on death still exists

[10 burpees per tera r loss 0]

Oh so if a nobody kills you, you're just dead

[Altaninort 0]

If anyone kills you, you are dead

[10 burpees per tera r loss 0]

Are heartless kind of like zombies?

[HellboundOrc 2]

Heartless are hearts consumed by darkness
