>before everyone hated disney>before everyone thought final fantasy was cringe>before people were irony poisoned and too afraid to engage earnestly with silly stories>we had kingdom heartsThe 2000s really were a magical time.
>>743304207This might shock you but every young generation thinks their childhood is peak.
>>743304298>before this cell phone shit>we had Captain N: The Game Master
>>743304514Let's not start a retard meme. Everyone knew Captain N was lame.
I miss the Renaissance
>>743304207Kingdom Hearts was always a weird kid game. I would get embarrassed playing this shit, even though it was fun. I wish the deal with Disney fell through and Kingdom Hearts was forced to be a huge final fantasy crossover kind of thing without the involvement of Disney.
Nigga I am 33 and I got bullied for liking this series in 2006
>>743304710This
>>743304298alphies don't.
>>743304663dad walking in during that Little Mermaid sequence
>>743304807alphies think angry birds 1 is the best movie ever
>>743304586itll never not be funny that shitty ass rescuers is included in the renaissance by pure happenstance of falling between 2 actual classics
>>743304807The oldest Alphies are like 16 and are making nostalgia compilations of dogshit mobile games
>>743304840Oh god. That never happened to me but I was always paranoid. He stood over me during the Hundred Acre Woods cutscene once and just sighed deeply. Wanted to kill myself. Kingdom Hearts is so gay. I mean that in a 2000's way.
>>743304807Alphies was the worst mistake ever created since pizza sticks.
>>743304976Fuck you its a fun movie
>>743304991To be fair most Japanese stuff is pretty gay. That's why when FF7 advent children came out people realized what Japan was trying to convey Cloud to actually behave and realized he was just a fag
>>743305040>movie>funtranslation: the movie is dogshit but i want to say something positive about it so i'll call it "fun"
>>743305161Do you perform mental gymnastics just to achieve angst?
>>743304710>>743304758>getting bulliedskill issue
>>743304710It was a better time, look at what happened after we stopped bullying degenerates
>>743305086I agree. Advent Children is supposed to show Cloud as being super depressed after the events of FF7. But it is also the japanifcation of a likable and nuanced character. They haven't strayed from that characterization since unfortunately. They want him to be as "cool" as possible. But Cloud is just a normal guy was trying to be cool, that's the entire point of his character. So disappointing.
>>743305631You misunderstood He was always like that. The problem is when things are just text you make up your own interpretation of how characters are. The movie shows how the creators always intended him to be and when people found out that's when the decline happened.
>>743304991the 100 acre woods is the best part though. pooh is discussing his impending fucking death
>>743304976best movie of the bunch
>>743304976I liked it as a kid unlike tarzan
>>743304207I never really liked the Mickey mouse and Donald duck part of Disney so I never bothered with this game.
>>743304586reminder that john k hated these films for having the "cal arts style".
>>743305958Am I supposed to know who that is?
>>743305729You're probably right. What's hilarious is that square keeps trying to lean into what they perceive Western audiences find cool but still make the same autistic edgelords over and over again. Westerners like characters that have a realness to them, the Japanese like easily understood archetypes. What made FF7 so successful was people were reading a groundedness into the characters that I guess Square may have never intended in the first place, and have been trying to recapture unsuccessfully ever since.
>>743305769It should've ended differently.
>>743305769Yeah but he's Winnie the Pooh
>>743306017Creator of Ren and Stimpy
>>743306073Not the problem is that eastern idea of "cool" and "manly" is not the same to the west and vice versa that's why you see pretty feminine looking guys as the main protags. Look at FF15 with their boy band look. You can see it all across Asia of mostly baby faced young men with almost no masculine traits. In Japan having muscle is considered kind of homosexual because they believe guys work out to only impress other men.
>>743306243You could have just said that to begin with.
>>743306367No way. People may feel that way somewhat but it's way more important to westerners how characters are written. THE contemporary western protagonist is Luke Skywalker. He was never a huge burly guy. You're making the same mistake the Japanese do. We don't really care how characters look as long as they aren't hideous and suit their role in the story. People would still feel the same way about post Advent Children Cloud if he suddenly got jacked and grew a beard. His personality is the problem. He's shallow and whiney. They even tried this with FF15. They tried giving Noctis this rugged look as a King and it didn't make him anymore likeable or memorable. What makes westerners like characters is their sincerity and humanity. The Japanese like representational characters, westerners like believable characters.
>>743306436I wasn't the anon you responded to, I just clarified for him
KH1 will always have a special placedisney + final fantasythe dreamey theme of the game
When you walk away you don't hear me say please oh baby don't go
>>743307178SCHRIMPEL AND MEAN
>>743304207When I was a kid, everyone I knew who played KH1 only came on board for the FF characters with good graphics. We thought the Disney shit was gay and wanted it removed from the game. You're either Disney kids (lol) or women
>>743306990Again, you're not getting it. In eastern countries that's considered cool. Eastern countries have a very different idea of what is good or not compared to other places.
>>743304207The sheer dedication KH shows in exploring how retarded the story can get without a hint of irony is commendable. It does seem pretty clear that the DIsney aspects are holding it back, though. The Disney worlds are just distractions from what Nomura actually wants to do.
>>743307452No, I understand that. What I'm saying is that Square keeps trying to find a way to make their characters appeal to westerners by changing how they look but what makes them lame to us is their stiff, choreographed cool guy routine. Asians like that. We consider it to be hokey and lame.

>>743308495What is there to even say at this point
>>743308495KEK
>>743304586Disney made an Elzabeth Warren biopic?
>>743304207Go back to the parking lot you faggot, everyone rightly thought this game was for homos.
>>743308764who hurt you
>>743304976Rescuers, beauty and the beast, and emperors new groove were the only good movies to come out of that era. And Robin williams
>>743304298Yeah but mine was actual peak. If you think a childhood of Roblox, Fortnite, Minecraft, and microtransaction garbage is better than you have brain damage
Everyone I knew loved KH1 and 2. It was such a weird thing that brought together the kids who grew up going to Disney parks, and those who were playing PS2 RPGs like Dark Cloud or Final Fantasy X. It was nice. >>743304710I am sorry you had that experience, especially during the release of 2...Aside from Roxas, 2 was amazing to play at that time.
>>743304207Any faggots here going to d23? Kh gets a 1 hour panel.
>>743308728kek
>>743304298things from your generation is genuinely shit however, zoomie.
>>743304207i was 11 years old in 2000 when i hated disney
>>743311248>get to interact with people around the world >play unlimited games for free because of better piracy and games like Roblox/Minecraft where you can make anything you want>same goes for video; youtube plus peak streaming, plus easier piracy>kids could make a shit ton of money on retarded internet bubbles (app coding, counter strike skins, etc.)>become 18 in time to get Covid unemployment checks for two years straight as long as you had a minimum wage job when Covid startedthe above versus you sitting in your basement and jerking off to anime characters. Also, id rather have most games having cosmetic microtransactions than being from the generation that loved Pokemon selling the same game 4 times in a row with the only difference being like 30 pokemon. All pre-internet media was lit zog shit, you were just too docile and ignorant to realize so you remember it fondly.
>>743304207this series was doomed from the start, tied to 2 turbo retard companiesatleast 1 and 2 were great
