I’m trying my best to make sense of it all man

same

Yeah what me and Hellbound said lol

NOOOOOO

Kskskkssks what????

The pilot getting taken down.

Oh that- yeah big bummer

DaZ downloaded it tho- if you want it have him link it

I need it.

For purposes.

You just want constant references to the Meme faces don't ya?

No, it genuinely gives me comfort.

It was pretty enjoyable

The boots for my Halloweentown Sora cosplay have finally arrived! Now, all I have to wait for is the costume and then that’s all complete! Mwahahaha! 🎃 😈 👻

Shall I animate a scene from the Kingdom Hearts pilot animatic on my traditional animation desk like it’s 2002?

They literally do to Xehanort what the Power of Waking does

Riku used the PoW on Sora to make a portal into his heart in 3D

Riku again does the same in Melody of Memory where he creates a portal because of Nameless Star into Quadratum

In JP Riku calls back to how in KH3D Xehanort describes himself as acting as a "portal" that allows his other selves to be there. Basically just referring to how Time Travel works

Which is why he uses the same language in KH3

KH3 has a bunch of small things that cause confusion thanks to localisation choices, the entire series does on the whole. If something seems weird or nonsensical, it's a good chance the English Script is at fault rather than the JP

Doesn't help that Nomura has a love of purposefully ambiguous Japanese in the first place either lol

The English Script tends to make things more flowery and vague, and Nomura isn't writing every single line of dialogue, so it's not always his fault for small writing choices

Xemnas revealing to Demyx, Marluxia, Larxene and Luxord why they were recruited is much more matter of fact in the Japanese

Whereas the English is much more verbose

And makes it out as if it has immediate relevance that will come into play later within the same game

There's also people being confused at Ienzo saying to Sora that "last we met was at the castle". The JP is much more clear he's speaking to Sora as if he has Roxas's memories, and that's why he says that

Nomura should Kojima it and have a personal hand in overseeing the translation of the script

But the EN script removes a line of context and makes it a bit more confusing

And then there's Keyblade Master vs Keyblade Hero

Well a little mystery/ambiguity is good for you! Keeps you on your toes- enhances replayability

Idk man lol it just be like that sometimes

Ienzo referring to Roxas instead of Castle Oblivion doesn't break the game for me

I'm more talking about how the conversation generated a lot of confusion online because it omits some context in english

It was just an example of the EN script changing stuff and leading to it being more confusing

Like KH3D is a much more confusing game in English because of how it translated Yen Sid's dialogue

Like I hear what you're saying but-- I don't personally see it as big of a deal

The one thing the translations absolutely got wrong that confused me was the "blank canvas" line Xehanort says- in English he says like, "fill the world with a bright light" or something but in JP he says he wanted to leave a blank canvas

But aside from that shrugs idk man I've been able to follow the story lol

Hearing about the Japanese version makes me imagine Sora singing the songs of Irino Miyu

Since, yeah, it’s obvious

Never said it was impossible to follow the story because of the EN changes. I was just giving examples of changes made that obscure intent
