Honestly the final splash was the most nostalgic part to me. It was very KH1-ish to me, and was a very satisfying way to end the intro. They really knew how to build and solve the tension on this intro. I'm kind of sad that it didn't follow just like the TGS trailer though. Whoever edited that trailer did a way better job at fitting the music with the intro. They should have switched the clipshow part with the Terra and Ventus disappearing part. Those strings just fit that so well!

Blew 18k on this and didn't get Kairi. Hopefully I'll get a couple more draws before the deals are over. Most importantly... How the heck did they mess up Jack and Sally so bad? I didn't even attempt that HSC but I know it was difficult as hell and people put money into it to be able to rank high. Plut what the heck is this new event? How can they screw up the player base so much lmao

I swear to god if they don't take this chance to add the Saïx and Xion fights to Days I'm losing it

I mean, why would Nomura tease Ventus so early if he wasn't gonna make an appearance soon? Maybe he'll only be in Season 2, but I doubt it. I'm expecting some light on Ventus' significance but not gonna be disappointed if he doesn't show up.

I definitely think animation can be utilized to convey feelings that both paintings and music can, but it also uses literal movement and morphing to its advantage in ways that paintings can't(and music can), while being able to convey clear scenarios that music can't with(only incredibly abstract imagery; would depend on each individual's experiences and memories while listening). So imo, animation is kind of an in-between if used correctly. But I definitely think that animation on itself, without music, is really lacking. There really is no definitive answer to that I guess. The amount of work that has to go into animations is undoubtedly insane, but it really takes a lot for it to be quality art to an observer.

Don't worry. We're continuing on a PM. I think it's over now lol

...sad about that, I have no idea.

but this isn't what you were talking about at all. You were talking about lgbt matters being "everywhere" (which it's not it's just in more places) and how that makes you feel oppressed (which well, is not rly oppression). ANYONE can have problems and be bullied. But what I was talking about is how GAY PEOPLE HAVE PROBLEMS THAT ONLY THEY SPECIFICALLY RELATE TO!!!!! and that having utada singing abt that is refreshing and great. How you managed to feel s...

Ok you have a hard life, but it's not BECAUSE you are straight and that's the point. Your life will never be hard BECAUSE of straightness as opposed to homosexuality. Like anyone can be bullied??? but maybe instead of being all "aw man gay people are getting ALL the attention" you could go find spaces in which your experiences with bullying can be talked about and stop speaking as if visibility is harmful to anyone. Like yeah??? Being bullied is a shitty experience regardless

Like you're LITERALLY acting like you suffer from "heterophobia" or something. You're taking things way out of proportion.

No, no one said that. No one hates straights. No one think that's the only kind of love??? I'm talking about discussions and themes relating specifically to lgbt people. Which is like, a thing that people create BECAUSE lgbt people aren't accepted in all spaces, what a shocker right? No one should hate you for being straight and no one thinks straight people shouldn't exist. Stop trying to twist it around and make it about you lol

irrelevant. your life honestly wont be affected by that at all. sorry if you have anger management issues but it gets annoying to see heteros repeatedly comparing themselves to gay people in regards of space and rights and visibility as if they had it worse just because lgbt is getting more visible.

Meanwhile gay people... don't. So yes they find waay more freedom to talk about these things and enjoy having visibility online. So yeah I get why someone might be annoyed when straight people shove themselves into lgbt spaces or discussions that are completely irrelevant to them and expect to be treated with the same amount of importance. Like someone mocking your for being straight is like someone being racist to white people... it "can" happen but systematically it's irrele...

Look, someone being rude to you is not being bashed. Someone being annoyed by your presence on lgbt matters or spaces when it might be uncalled for isn't bashing. Someone saying your stance is less important when it comes to lgbt matters is... the truth?? I... honestly don't see why you're so bothered. You've got the entire world as a space for you where you won't be bothered for being straight.

Also... Straight love is like, the most mainstream thing?? Like you are expected to see straight people everywhere. You don't question straight people holding hands, and everyone's first assumption is that any fictional character is straight unless explicitly stated otherwise. imo you're kind of feeling threatened by the inclusion of gay visibility for little to no reason. Trust me on this you're not gonna get bashed on for being straight

*bashing straights

Either way she has plenty of songs that straight people can relate to??? so idk what the problem is Trust me when I say this, you feeling "small" due to other sexualities being displayed and talked about has nothing on the oppression that lgbt people face. I'm not trying to be hostile here but I did feel bothered by the fact that just because I said "I'm happy she's not straight! I can relate to that!" your immediate reaction was to feel like I'm bas...

@WalkingDawn96 well for once i think one reason straight people are being frowned upon is that whenever someone celebrates gay visibility someone has to go in like "what about me?? why isnt this about me???". I dont know if you actually realized this though but I wasn't exactly saying being straight was a bad thing but how having a role model like Utada having songs that gay people SPECIFICALLY relate to and straight people don't is really good and makes me feel good. Eit...

I'm loving utada hikaru having so many new songs about gay love, and that bomb she dropped on twitter about not being straight. It's so nice to be able to relate to her lyrics!!!

Oooh I'm glad i saw this, because Yoko is my favorite musician right now, and getting some feedback from her would be amazing. 1) I'd love to know if she would have any advice for aspiring young musicians, as in how to keep pushing forward and knowing where to head next, and how she feels about her work inspiring her fans to pursue musical careers. 2) Has she heard about Project Destati, and how does she feel about fanmade arrangements and such large groups of people coming together to celebrate her music? I was gonna ask you to give her a hug but I don't think that's very viable, these two questions are enough for me

I did feel like there were a couple of added phrases in the remix in between the main lyrics, so I thought she was involved either way. I feel like even if she does own the song, she doesn't mind it being used for Kingdom Hearts. After all, Hikari and Passion are some of her most popular songs DUE to Kingdom Hearts, so if anything I'd think she'd see this as an opportunity to get herself even more out there.

First glimpses on MoM and Luxu's faces! Even if just their noses. The lack of Ephemera and Skuld makes me think they won't be very important in Back Cover after all...

I actually am loving how 0.2 is looking(That intro!!!! I'm honestly impressed, it's beautiful). But i was expecting to see Skuld or Ventus in Back Cover for the mindfiretruckery

I use android and downloaded it outside the playstore, but ever since the first update the game has allowed me to update though the playstore as long as the app exists in my phone.

Thanks! the live version of that one is a bit cooler imo. You can listen to it here if you want I also played it with a string orchestra once, but i prefer this version
