Kingdom Hearts IV

6 million plus bought the thing I hope a few of them liked it anyway lol

I was simply in too deep

I couldn’t bow out

Remind helped

I hear you specifically had a spicey take or two back in the day lol

Oh really? Yeah I am a menace

I don’t dislike kh3 anymore as a game

But I do have mixed feelings with it as the finale to the “xehanort saga”

On account of the fact it basically wasn’t the end of the saga

I feel like Xehanort's "real" """finale""' was Dark Road tbh

Exactly

Also the stakes and world progression was awkward to play through when I experienced it

Like I said last night, after 3, I put a lot of space between me and KH, and yeah I played MoM when it came out, but, I was on such a roller coaster trip from 2013 basically to 2019 I needed time.

I dont dislike frozen world but it has alot of headscrating moments like not introducing Hans at all, locking Sora and the bunch in a massive portion of the stage without the cast of characters

I actually am replaying KH1 for the first time in some years- I never touched 2 after 3

Did you love how Hans had no lines? He's one of Disney's biggest villians and he just gets a sick boss fight?

The Boss fight was sick but like come on lmao

Oh good, I never stopped disliking the early KH games and I genuinely think kh1, com, and 2 are a perfectly well made trilogy that can be enjoyed as a self contained narrative

And I still find good things in 3 now

I feel that way too actually; about those 3 games

Like formchanges being very cool, 3 equppable keyblades at once

This is going to sound beyond melodramatic, and it isn't even 3's fault, it's Dream Drops really lol but there were aspects of 2's story that I feel that (later entries as well but) 3 kinda ruined for me with hindsight and all

2s story is retroactively retconned through events in DDD and onward

Marluxias entire character is retconned

Also aparently my GOAT Xaldin was meant to be a major villain in kh3 but was cut for time, UNFORGIVABLE

"Cut for time"

L + MAO dude

Xaldin is one of the best written villains in kh man and him not having ANY line in 3 or MoM is bizarre

Despite him being there?

This is kh4 chat though so I won’t say more here

I’ll move convo to

It got so bad they made a kh3 positivity only channel it was kind of funny.

for 4 we need to normalize positive and negative criticism in a way where it doesn't turn into 2 factions with extreme views. shit killed the entire server

this shit was the actual keyblade war

Rebirth discourse was way healthier regarding this. We could meme about dumb shit without anyone getting seriously offended

wait are you serious lmao

Wait so was Arthur being legit- about factions being formed and shit?

It's true, I was a mod during that time

Fun times

Jesus christ tf happened to yall in here lol

Like I said, fun times

If only i could see those archived channels...

They're starting to sound like the Ark of The Covenant from Indian Jones, or the chest with the 882 gold pieces from Pirates of the Caribbean
