its gabens fault /s

had to be the most spoilerable game a decade in waiting to get spoiled and not some sports games or something huh (i say knowing thousands got leaked but i want to grumble)

does anyone know what the specific type of spoilers they are? i saw the initial leaks and would classify them as revealing the worlds, a few minor game mechanics, and 1 or two details about story. what is out there now?

my phones lifespan is probably shorter now though lol

it was all idling at least so no labor on my part

i did it

the merch bundle for kh exhibit (6700 yen ticket vs 3200 yen early or 3600 normal) is these cards or whatever. FF exhibit merch is a pin badge set thing, 13,499 merch ticket vs normal ticket of 3,500 yen (13,199 ticket and 3,200 yen early sale price) not sure i really want either of these tbh

Im now more (slightly so) convinced of the idea people put forward thats its the new Build system, but to reply to some substance-less internet shitpost: have you?

I didnt mean you it was just a general statement

I read a comment on another site saying it could be what the Build system refers to, combining things to build a custom keyblade. Which is strong possibility I hadnt thought of. Would make sense to not so deliberately show a keyblade that only realistically ties to one movie and spoil that surprise.

I think Lilo & Stitch is one of the best Disney movies of all time, it's in my top 3. But I wouldn't want a Lilo & Stitch world (Hawaii) for the same reasons as Moana, at least not when there are better level candidates out there. It's just Hawaii. Beaches and houses. I remember playing BBS for the first time being kind of disappointed they did the spaceship instead of Hawaii, but from a game design perspective that allowed more room for level design and creativity. Still wasnt a great level but probably better than a beach and...the Luau place? Lilos house?

I think many people confuse "I like this movie" with "This movie would make for a good level in a video game"

Thats my two cents.

I think one can love a movie and understand it doesn't make for a good video game level. Tony Hawk games excelled and were popular because you could make any sort of location into a skate level. You can grind on things, and the board is not attached to you therefore you can do both grab moves, flip moves, or other things. The reason surfing games failed is because every level is just waves and theres way more limitation to what you can do in a video game with that. Likewise snowboarding is downhill and the board is attached, so less trick variation. SSX did it right focusing more on extreme exaggeration of physics and score. Some things translate better to games than others. Hercules, Nightmare Before Christmas, Aladdin, Tron, Alice in Wonderland - these are killer locations to give players a chance to explore and interact with. Moana, Zootopia, Lilo & Stitch (Hawaii), 101 Dalmations, The Aristocats, Ratatouie, and arguably Frozen and Tangled to a degree dont have much to translate into a game

The Caribbean has pirate towns like Port Royal and pirate ship battles. It's not as simple as "there's an ocean".

I would capitalize the period if it existed.

Zero.

Trailer Keyblade (Flowing Edge/Lava Slash) candidates: Hercules: theres a lava and ice titan, but this is water not ice. also, a keyblade would not be based on them if it was a Hercules keyblade and would instead be something more thematic of the film. Plus they wouldn't tease a keyblade for a returning world (especially one already with a keyblade design), which eliminates any previous world in KH. Atlantis: Underwater city, theres a very short escape sequence where lava is coming up near the end. But a keyblade on this world would based on the Atlantean aesthetic or the steampunk-ish style of the explorers. Not this. Elemental: Elements water and fire are center stage, but its more so fire than lava. Strong candidate but eliminated based on lava. Moana: There are both water and lava entities that appear, from the sea and lava. The movie has no other iconography or style or themes to base a keyblade off of. Tattoos would not make for a keyblade. Conclusion: Its 100% Moana and theres no more debate to be had. Which in my opinion sucks because skimming through the movie again, there is zero interesting locations or aspects to put in a video game level and explore. Theres a featureless beach, the crabs nondescript cave, and then the remaining 90% of the film is on a raft at sea. Ignoring a conversation of the quality of the film itself, its more character driven and less spectacle or interesting locale. The Rock will not do the game. From a game design standpoint this is a bad level choice and will be the Arendelle of KH4. But just like Arendelle, it will be in due to marketing/promotional reasons.

you guys wanted a fight im gonna drop something anger-inducing

in reality i feel no different than i was when i was 18. theres nothing to fear about your 30s

enjoy the last 5-7 years of your life

sometimes

Im 35. Basically on hospice and one foot in the grave

KH came out in 2001, I think you can expect some people in their 30s

Cant think of a single world that wont have people going "Kh4 is now ruined because x world is in"
