Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge KH fan.

but in the newer games it feels like the world became seperate side stories.

In the first KH the story line was really good, and it continued when you where in the worlds,.

think about looking for Alice, protecting Jasmine, and looking for Riku and Kairi with Tarzan,.. it goes on,

the worlds where based on Disney, but not totally on the movie.

KHII was already more moving towards acting out movies, and sometimes even acting them out.

(mulan, pirates of the carribean, Lion king sort of, Atlantica was just one big cutscene; a summary of the movie)

of course the second visits and worlds like Hollow Bastion and Twilight Town made up for it, but in the first game some of the biggest reveilments came at ordinairy worlds. However since we are more and more acting out the movies, the main storyline is cut out of those worlds... most of the time there's a cutscene in the ending that connects to the story.

But it's not only this, it makes the game somewhat predictable too. You know what to expect when you're visiting a world, that's kind of a shame.

 

Well what do you think? Ofcourse I still think the main storyline makes KH the best series ever, but there's a bit TOO much acting out sometimes.

Only KH1 and DDD have worlds that are actually relevant to the story.

Everything else is essentially filler, used to wait for the next major cutscene.

Now that can't be totally right, why would they do that when they could make it important to the story? in KH2 there where worlds that had importance, like Beast Castle:Xaldin wanting the Beast's heartless, Riku showing up in Mulan's second part. I'm just wondering why we have to act out the movie when those things aren't happening. they could at least let us do something else... right?

I have no problem with it.

They could have been anywhere else. The thing is, Xaldin has an effect on the Beauty and the Beast storyline, but this never affects Xaldin, and never affects the actual story. Meanwhile, things like Sora meeting Riku, who messes with Pinocchio, but still fights alongside Sora, has much relevance to the story, and develops the characters.

Well I don't really either so far, just one question: Have you played 3D yet?

Yeah I think you are right about that, but even though it didn't made characters grow it gave information.

Now 3D was like such a good game, lot's of crazy plots. Just the thing that bugged me was that most of the lines where copied from the orignal movies.

that's just one step too far for me,.

It's called fanservice. They quote things in order to make fans go squee. They've been quoting Final Fantasy pretty much since the start.

I don't really play FF so I wouldn't know,..

however, I really hope they quit with it cause it's pretty much the only thing that annoys me.

Oh well, can't have everythin. The worlds look great and it's still a lot of fun

They won't, if anything, it's going to become more prominent. Each major quote they use increases the chance that the warm fuzzy feelings generated will cause the recipient to overlook the game's flaws.

I first thought this topic was going to be about acting out kh cutscenes. I'm a huge kh fan like most of you and that's what i do sometimes, plus i wish to be an actress. Lol But, that's irrelevant to the topic. But i understand what you are talking about. I think it's cool.

i agree though it varies between worlds.. some are especially dragged out even in DDD, e.g trons world which makes it become like you said predictable and therefore more boring- and i think having complete worlds just so you can see a short 20 second clip at the end sucks.. they should definitely go back to KH1 roots for 3
