Sorry for a very late reply but same here. Vanitas deserves more merch than just the Funko figures and keyring.

I will line my walls with Vanitas merch.

That is very based and awesome

does this make sense to you guys?

sounds great!

noveI moment

it's for my article, and i realized that the way mickey talks in the game is confusing if you don't have visuals

thanks, i just wanna make sure it makes sense to newbies reading about the game lol

there are too many ansems in this paragraph and but i'm talking about 2 different characters 😭

true

it does a great job at diffrentiating with no pIace for misinterpretation

i hate this paragraph lol but it's necessary so i gotta keep it

The nice thing is everyone knows what Mickey sounds like, so, as long as you throw in a couple 'welps' you'll be good.

Remember, Disney rights the Mickey and Pals characters in such a way that while they have a specific way of talking, they talk just like any of us-- don't feel bogged down by the cartoony nature of Mickey

a sprinkle of "oh boy!"

well i meant more how he explains it, not necessarily how he sounds

it's cuz the game is trying to keep xehanort a mystery for a little while longer by having mickey forget his name

Oh yeah, good point

Another Maya article soon :blobaww: :blobaww:

Well a way you could word it is,

"Mickey is withholding information that is equal parts intentional and unintentional that will kind of be explained in this game, and also sprinkled here and there the next 3 is games."

For posterity.

Haha yeah, for sure

i high key wanted to say that goofy died but we gotta be professional her lol

ok y'all i need your opinion: should i cut the 2nd visit to halloween town and pride lands from the article?

i really have to cut down the word count and i figure since they don't meet org members in those worlds, it should be fine. the revisit to pride lands felt like filler and revisit to halloween town is just about the experiment looking for a heart.

Pride Lands definitely cut. Unless there's some metaphor for Roxas/Xion that was hinted at in HT, the I would cut that as well

i mean they just talk about how giving a gift is like giving a piece of your heart to someone and how kairi is like sally b/c she's happy just by being with sora. but to the overall plot, this just feels like fluff since we already know how sora feels for kairi

alright i'm gonna get them both

should i cut agrabah as well? they mention that an organization member wanted jafar's heartless but they don't say who and we never see one in that world

Yeah I would

Anything that doesn't contribute to the over arching story can probably be left

Though maybe mention that only a few revisits have importantance so people aren't confused why your only talking about a couple of worlds a second time?

alright that brings my word count down to 4950, just gotta cut 900 more words 😭

If you hadn't done that already

Ohhhhhhh nevermind then

yeah ... 😅

ok i'm cutting the cloud and sephiroth stuff. considering the sephiroth fight is optional, their stuff isn't too tied with the main story. (i know cloud has the whole facing the darkness inside him kind of mirroring riku, but we don't need more than 2 emo dark boys in this game)

Most of the second visits either reinforce the themes or wrap up loose ends from the first visit. None of them are really essential to talk about.
