KH2 and CoM were pretty dark too. With onscreen murder, kidnapping, and themes of existentialism.

God I hate that I was too young to really understand and appreciate that when those games came out

I dunno maybe it’s just more so an issue I have with how 3 feels a lot more catering to the Disney side than actually thinking that they haven’t allowed the series to handle mature things ? @2 quid is good

Didn't know that:bizHmm:

Oh ? that’s really cool!!

I love when games tie game-things into lore

oh wow so there is a real reason for it

i guess that makes sense given how they show off the drive

Wait magic in KH2 is not the same as in KH1? I never noticed

what

Alex how

I didn’t notice either tbh :AceLaugh:

one recharges

and the other has individual bars

??????

let alone the actual change to the magic itself with Fire, Blizzard, Thunder, and cure

Wait. you mean to say there’s no MP orbs in KH2?

there are

but they dont matter a whole lot at times cause you can just run around till your MP bar recharges
while in KH1 you have to actively use ethers, bambi, or have jackbot and beat enemies which drop MP orbs

I didn’t know that

oi vey

i mean you can smack people in KH1 to also regain MP, MP haste makes that orange bar fill faster too

but with KH2, nary do i ever feel the need to use an ether

You use actual strategy and stuff DJDJDJDJDJ. you’re talking to someone who didn’t know there were

summons other than ifrit in FF7r

:AceLaugh:

KH1 requires you to position yourself more yes

whiffing has a bit more penalty than Kh2

I want them to try a kh1-similar magic system for a new game. Not just for variety, but to see how a modern versio of that would be

I think that would be cool to see again

I kinda don’t like how mp regen can just be such a crutch at times

see magic in KH1 was strong yes, but it was balanced enough that you can still use it after a cure
while in KH2, it's kinda annoying to not be able to use magic after a cure

yes, magic works differently in KH2 and there are better options all around
but idk if they nerf magic so that you can still use it after a cure, then they have room to make mobs more dangerous and smart

assuming they dont bring back defensive and support magic

Which they should

they really should

if people wanna play all physical, level 1, no magic, no everything. they will anyway

but that doesn't mean magic has to be all jank like Kh2 imo

I don’t like how aero serves the role of magnet but doing a lot more damage and being able to be spammed and taking up more space altogether

"oh but goldy, you had reflect"
defensive yes, but wayyy too strong

Wait I think magic did an okay amount of damage in 2 tho
