Especially getting new writers on board to help with just that

And I will take Nomura at his word

I've been largely on the hopium train when it comes to KH4's storytelling

i will say though, KH4 being the beginning of a new saga feels strange to me considering how much homework you'll need to even understand half of it

like yeah, kingdom hearts does like to pull from things in old games and sometimes theyre quick little bits and other times they're a brand new essential meaning to it, but either way the story is mostly self contained using concepts introduced in the game itself

Its how every fiction works and i wish more people realized it

Cause that's just how KH does things

And like, most of the shit that game did was stuff they kind of just made up and introduced in the same game

I also rememeber a bunch of KH3-era theories

Nomura is not remembering a random bit of dialogue that Jun Akiyama wrote back in KH1 dawg

And also like, just blatantly untrue. I hate treating KH like a bit complicated interwoven thing where everything ever matters

not because i have consumed nomura and nojima works for 90% of my life and feel particularly slighted when someone says this But because it's just so smug

I utterly hate this thinking

There's probably a bunch more interconnected and complex means of bringing Roxas back, like using Data Twilight Town. But they just had them find a replica body pre-made

what kept getting me was how he said "think like nomura bro" as if he himself somehow has the complete and utter understanding of nomura's mind

There was probably one or two "better" means of having Ansem back for KH3D and KH3. But the easiest explanation was just time travel

It's also like, KH has "complex" lore when you take a step back but generally they sort of go for the easiest explanation

Yeah I tried arguing about them making up a made up concept but they wouldn't listen and just said its a theory its fine

Yeah

its more of a fanfiction/headcanon than a theory when the entire thing hinges on a concept never conceptualized in the series

that's exactly what we tried to tell him lol

Thereby making a theory using your own made up concepts and ideas, rather than something made out of existing concepts and ideas

Mostly because like, while the idea can work, most people overexplain how it works, or just make other stuff up

Outside of that, I do tend to find MoM = Sora theories almost always lacking
