i mentioned it in the channel already, but if they still plan on having it tie to KH4, then spending time and resources to create an animated series, and THEN have it fully release, would delay KH4 even further if we're expected to know the full story first. I'd love a KH animated series, but not at the cost of more delays lol

the best option would be a package movie with kh4 using the cutscenes they already have similar to the .5 collections

Make it a comic

true

Khux had a novel

ux has a novel but it doesnt go past the events of the keyblade war to my knowledge

I'll take any form of media I can, so long as we can all enjoy the story in some shape or form.  Quick side question here: I know KHUx is no longer playable since it's servers shut down, while it's smaller cousin Dark Road CAN because Square designed it that way.  Since Missing Link is quite a different game than it's predecessors, what are the odds that when the .apk of Missing Link eventually finds its way into the wild that any part of it will be in a playable state, with or without serious help from the modding community?

They only developed enough of MI for the launch so I doubt it was exactly filled with story. And I think being willing to accept any form of story telling in this series is a bit desperate. Crave interabctable story telling for this series over just cs simulators

I guess I'm never going to understand why everyone was so obsessed with this game.

content drought makes people desire things they might never have wanted before. hell, i bet mgs fans wanted more pachinko machines for a while when they were the only new thing the series was producing (and these are a thing the fandom as a whole loathes so that tells you something)

nah we were all pretty unified against Konami for the most part lmao

Silent hill fans riotted against Konami when they shitcanned silent hills

like yeah you still had the "its not that bad guys" guys, or the "uhhhh actually Kojima went over budget you guys" guys, but they was always the minority opinon(s) lol.

I think people like being exploited by mobile games

it was the next kh game, that's all

This game was going to fail and be a waste of money either way. Either it was going to have a low player base and fail or be canceled. There was no winning. But if it helps you sleep at night... that's just how I personally feel

Man you guys are so cynical to this game lol like I get it but goddamn

Mobile games aren't evil lmao no need to have a Satanic Panic attack over it

fr people have such a bias against mobile games it's hilarious
yes people can be exploited by mobile games, and yes a lot of companies go for that route for more money obviously, but it is most definitely not inherently tied to mobile gaming at all. some incredible games started as mobile games(Monument Valley, Sky), others are fully playable on mobile now (FF1-9, DQ, Dead Cells, etc). it's literally just another platform. blame devs for their money grubbing, not mobile gaming. some PC games have some pretty bad exploitation as well, but no one is out there claiming all PC games are destined to fail because of that

ML probably wasn't going to be the greatest mobile game ever, and it definitely would have been gimmicky with the geolocation stuff, but i can tell you for sure it would have been an incredible time having a semi-multiplayer online experience for this series. of course, I'm not saying it isn't without its flaws either. STOP PUTTING CANON STORY INTO MOBILE GAMES SQUARE

alas, it'll never see the light of day anyway

The last sentence is my big issue with this. I am not hiding my bias against mobile games, but the fact that they blue all the story for months and years is what really sucks ass. If it at least gave the full story on day 1 I would be more open to it. But the fact that this would have been the 4th (or 5th?) try at another mobile KH game really did sour me since it was announced.

i also still think the unofficial reason for the cancellation and the long drought of no news before it was because, after the beta, they realized they didn't have the infrastructure to scale the GPS stuff globally and spent a while trying to figure that out until they just gave up on it

khux was really bad with it too, having months and months of filler content to pad out the important stuff, until they realized they had to close up shop soon and then didn't have the team to do it all in time

could've finished it up years earlier without all the filler updates

also, another note on Chi, was that none of it was even supposed to be like, SUPER canon in the first place. it was a browser game, and it was supposed to be a "loose" telling of the years before. then they went and decided to make it concrete canon that was necessary for KH3 and 4 which kinda pissed me off

what's that last part about the 4th or 5th mobile game? i thought ux and dr were the only ones (with ml being the unreleased 3rd)

there's a reason agrabah was such a meme in the community, lol

potentially talking about the two games Square wasn't involved in (V Cast and Fragmented Keys)

either that or it was referring to the handheld games as well, since those all fall into the "not a console game" camp

I was counting the rebranding of X, pretty sure we went through 3 of those

Then we had DR and the now cancelled ML

ahh, i see now. i can really only count that as 2 personally, since x is different than ux, but ux (unchained x) and ux (union x) are legit the same game

X is also browser as opposed to ux
