The World That Never Was. Especially if it never sees daylight. As someone who does not like sunlight that always nighttime aesthetic is perfect for me. And if all those buildings we never got to go in have the same color scheme inside as the Organization's castle I would very much be living in an ideal place.

Apologies if my response came off rude/snappy. Wasn't the intent.

In other news "Water is wet." Also if you used AI you didn't make anything.

This is just sad.

As someone who prefers vanilla P4 over P4Golden (with the exceptions of the Junes Concert and Ski Events), and someone who is currently perfecting her compendium in vanilla P4 on an actual PS2, I'm thoroughly unexcited for the P4 Remake. Especially after Persona 3 Reload. They got nitpicky as firetruck about fixing anything that might be problematic about P3 for the remake I can only imagine how much they'll nitpick P4. It'll for sure be borderline unrecognizable from what it originally was. Jesus Mary and Joseph Atlus just make Persona 6. I'm so glad they're thoroughly committed to ignoring the existence of Persona 1 & the Persona 2 duology because it keeps those games safe from being remade in politically correct forms for the snowflakes generation.

Couldn't care less about this game, but also I'm not surprised at anything being released on as many platforms as possible these days. Games being exclusive to something is a thing of bygone years.

So were hopes crushed or did they give us something?

So before the collections that would've been Chain of Memories, Days, Coded, Birth By Sleep, and Dream Drop Distance on top of Union Cross. Are you just admitting to being one of those KH fans (you know the ones, the ones who only see KH1/KH2/KH3/ and eventually KH4)? That's a whole lot of KH not to have played and enjoyed just because you don't wanna touch stuff that isn't a home-console. @Limen - Putting canon into the games that are not numbered entries is a key way to incentivize people into buying/playing the other games. From a business standpoint it would make little sense to not put canon into them.

I think it is worth remembering that while it has been over 20 years externally, internally speaking 20 years have not passed for Kairi.

@LazyDurian - Hate Kairi? No. I have a love-hate relationship with her. Pro Nomura? Yes. He's been critically involved in the creation of some of my favorite games, so why would I not be Pro Nomura? Pro Misogyny? No. But I don't think you know what Misogyny actually is so talking about it with you is moot. Pro Soriku? Yes I am. I'm a female who has been enjoying yaoi and shounen-ai stuff since the age of ten. The relationship between Sora and Riku has been a focal point of the series from the beginning so it was an easy relationship to get behind whether it ever crosses the line into a homosexual romance or stays a beautiful rivalry, friendship, and bromance. Anti-Kairi slop... I don't think I've ever come across anything of the sort. While I've certainly seen people express dislike for Kairi and the direction of her character I've never seen people who share those feelings band together and form actual hate groups about her. Whether I would actually enjoy such a thing... I can definitely imagine myself having a good laugh depending on how clever the slop was. But my reaction would honestly be either that or a big ole shrug emoji or both. Mainly because I wouldn't even know where to begin with defending Kairi from the people in such groups. Kairi being the most victimized character in Kingdom Hearts... I guess you're dismissing (among other things) Aqua's twelve years in the Realm of Darkness, all of the years of his life Ventus couldn't live because he was stuck in recovery, all of the years Terra spent being used by Xehanort in so many ways that it is a miracle any part of him remained intact and that he's whole again now. All of the characters who have just flat out died over the course of the Union Cross saga and in Dark Road. All of the characters we will never get to know from the now canceled Missing Link. But yeah, sure... Kairi is definitely the most victimized. 🙄🤮

She is not the main character. She never will be and never has been the main character. She's barely ever even been A character, nevermind THE MAIN character. Also you have a recurring fascination for saying the damsel in distress trope is a Japan thing. That is next levels of inaccurate. They did not create the trope (for that matter neither did Disney despite how one might get that idea from examining the company's history).

Trash in this case is not really meant to be an insult. It's more like how people throw the word "arse" around with an affectionate tone sometimes. Also their apparel isn't what I've got issues with. It's more about the models themselves. The graphics style IMHO doesn't really suit her because it robs her of a lot of the extra cuteness that the style she was originally done in added to her. As for Sora, as much as it is a natural progression from generation to generation of how far graphics have come it is still jarring just how much like a real life person Sora can now look. And considering the game is still in development he's likely to only look even more real in the finished product. For me I've always had trouble with characters in games looking too much like real people, but especially when it happens with franchises that started out cartoonish or anime.

Unpopular Opinion (Least that's what I'm getting from reading other peoples opinions about it): Both of Strelitzia's designs for KH4 have been trash. Sora's have only been slightly better. In her case I just plain don't think she suits the current gen hyper realistic style of graphics they're heading towards. In his both designs have him looking too in the realm of uncanny valley for my taste. Seriously his look both times has made me concerned I'll forget I'm playing a video game once KH4 is actually on the market.

Depending on when they plan to release KH4 actual proper multiplayer might be possible. If they intend to have it come out within the next two years I think at best we can expect the game to contain some points where we play as someone other than Sora, like we had with Riku and Aqua in base KH3. Should be better planned out and more chances for more than just a single instance per other character given they've already shown us they've started plotting out a playable segment for Mickey. I really hope we get playable Riku and that if we do, it's for more than just five minutes.

In future, don't do it yourself, just play a clip of Vince McMahon doing it to them.
