It took you that long to realize that "Balloon Spam: The Game" has terrible combat? You patience is insane. 1.) Of course you had an easier time if you played on Proud. 2.) Working on getting good Spirits is extremely grind-intensive, which is a problem also present in BBS. Reminder that the games with good combat and character progression (like II) never asked you to grind for anything during the story.

Axel.

This has never been a totally accurate descriptor, honestly. Kingdom Hearts is more like a Final Fantasy-esque JRPG put through a Disney filter. Regarding the general topic: The franchise has gotten to the point where Square probably feels like it doesn't need to rely on FF cameos to support the games. It sucks, obviously, but the narrative is already kind of bloated and needs focus. The original game is a pretty bog-standard RPG narrative.

Totally expect a midnight release. This game has been in the making for years and has enough hype behind it.

They could have at least put the epilogue and secret movie together in one patch and decided to release them at the same time.

inb4 they both end up dead and reunite in the Underworld. Or some other afterlife.

Sephiroth is overrated. Also, some hearsay I'm not going to look into (I want to avoid explicit spoilers) tells me that a secret boss does exist. The FF aspect was never that important, so I don't mind.

A 6ish year development cycle is like the exact opposite of rushed. Even with the switch to UE4 the game's been in development for about 4 years.

Multitasking would just cause both games to suffer in quality. Probably severely. Having another, non-Osaka team take the helm could work.

This is honestly a pretty bad preorder bonus since you can already buy these blind bags for cheap. If it was an exclusive key ring then maybe it'd be worth something.

To be fair, the series has never had an amazing track record with its minigames.

Staggering enemies =/= removal of floatiness.

Proud is probably the worst Mode so I'm not touching that. I want to do a blind Critical run but I don't trust Osaka's game design, so that's out. I guess I'm sticking with a Standard Mode story run.

Announcing this on Black Friday is scummy, especially since it might be the specially skinned PS4 Pro. I want that thing and it's gonna be sold out ASAP.

Who's Edelgard? I only know of Edgelord. For real though, I think she has a good shot. The timing is just right and getting an early bird FE rep is practically tradition. Plus people (probably) won't be as disgruntled at an axe user.

Super thankful Agrabah isn't confirmed yet. Too much sand and we've had more than enough of that world anyway. (Aladdin is still a good movie tho.) I'm actually very glad Pooh is back. The 100 Acre Wood has always been chill and charming even if it comes with some minigame jank.

It's the cover art of II. That's not a joke--just compare the cover to the world. The resemblance is uncanny.

The Tangled trailer was really short, plus wasn't it an apology for Nomura having to miss a con? Either way I don't think it's too soon for a substantial new trailer since the last one was a while ago.

I'm pretty sure Sakurai still gets the last word. He just has to choose from a pool of characters given to him by Nintendo.

I refuse to play this game blind on Crit (don't trust Osaka) but it still better be there out of the box.

It's a dice lamp, so clearly we're getting Luxord. For real though I think Sora could still have a chance. I don't think Disney would be a controlling as people think considering this franchise exists at all. (I know they're cracked down on the Disney movie stuff a bit but the KH-original stuff is still in Nomura's hands.)

I expect a trailer to drop before the opening (though I'm not sure we'll even get a trailer). III's way more important of a game than II.8, so I expect Nomura to hold back on even showing the opening at all before release day.

I feel like certain things like the Aqua reveal shouldn't have been shown, but otherwise we still know relatively little about the game overall. (Still have no idea what Sora's actually trying to do.) There's probably still a bunch of surprises and twists to experience firsthand when the game comes out.

An Xbone X or PC release would not be guaranteed to run better if the porting job isn't up to snuff, especially since it's safe to assume the PS4 version is probably going to be prioritized by QA. Dark Souls for instance has an infamously terrible PC port. Though at least mods exist for PC to fix those issues.

PS4 since it actually has exclusives on it to justify dumping the money. The entire Xbone library can also be played on PC and I recently got a new computer.
