The collection on Switch has been good to let me build up my KH screenshot collection.
>>
>KH1 is too hardcore for today's gamers
I love this game even more now, ngl.
>>
>KH1-3 Collection is worst functioning set of ports yet. Excluding KH3.

HOW?
>>
>>584586360
They can't be as bad as the PS3 versions. So far I've only seen KH1's intro lag a bit. How's the other games?
>>
>>584587115
They ported over all of the new problems from the PC versions at minimum. I'm not sure what's new to these ports.

KH1
Ripple Drive can damage party members.
60fps still fucks with physics, animations, and boss behavior.
Audio desyncs and missing effects.
Soft locks.

KH2
Stuttering.
60fps, once again, fucking with physics, animations, and abilities.

BBS
Audio cuts out for certain commends, and cutscenes.

All
Fucked up anti aliasing.
Character models and textures improperly loading.
Crashes and save corruptions.
>>
>>584587115
The PS3 versions are the best vanilla ports of the bunch. The PS4 versions were fucked for a year before SE got around to fixing some of their problems. PC versions were never updated, and now the new ports are just as bad.
>>
>>584588347
I'm playing it right now and Ripple Drive hasn't been damaging Donald and Goofy.
>>
>>584589582
Might be exclusive to a specific version then.
>>
>>584588347
Are these bugs only present in the Switch 2? Because I've been playing it on PS5 and I haven't encounter any of these bugs outside of minor lags when I enter a new area
>>
>>584589292
The PS3 versions were the worst on release because of the loading times. I admittedly only got the PS4 ports a couple of months after release, but considering you said they only fixed the problems like a year after release, I remember the PS4 collection playing fine when I played the games on it.
>>
>>584590081
Seems to be all of them. Most common complaints are audio issues. Texture and anti aliasing being the second most common complaint.

>the Mickey Mouse mascot outfit is now allowed to correctly grab the keyblade
ITS HAPPENING
>>
>>584590564
The PS4 versions biggest problems were caused by bumping the frame rate up to 60fps, which impacted nearly facet of gameplay. The only things that were better than the PS3 versions on release were load times, and final Xemnas reversal RC not appearing.
>>
>>584591023
Ultimately the load times are a little too important though. Like Drive Forms taking four times as long if not longer than the PS4 port, and usually over twice as long as PS2 sucked.
>>
>>584591917
Nah. Your basic abilities, and enemy behavior not working properly was unfixable. You could work around drive form loading by pausing the game upon transformation, and once loaded in it wouldn't need to load again.

maleficent and pete obviously fail their world domination scheme but to spite the masters help sora or someone on the good guys maybe helping him get back to the normal world or acting as the memory part of time travel or something
>>
>>584627181
I unironically want a House of Mouse world. It could be a bonus world where you build up the place by inviting characters across the different worlds.
>>
Something small but interesting I noticed while looking over them earlier was the difference between the bodies of Invisibles and Dark Inferno. Invisibles are fairly smooth and plain but Dark Inferno a body that looks very segmented, just like the heartless in Quadratum. Just compare the hip and groin between them

Donald

KH3 had the same issue, Sora looked like a fetal alcohol syndrome dude in the trailers but was fine in the actual game
besides, the game is pretty much done already and it comes out in a literal year as in, i do think it's coming out october 2027, i'd say they have more than enough time to fix this kind of stuff
>>
>>584648035
There are only 2 legit hard bosses in KH1: Clayton and Xemnas. Only on proud. 99% sure that those tourists on twitter play on beginner.
Sephiroth can be easily killed on proud by just spamming Ragnarok+elixir
>>
>>584653309
I didn't think Xemnas was all that tough. The real hard one was Kurt Zisa. Terrible hitboxes on his spin attacks.
>>
>>584653434
For me it was the opposite. I killed Kurt easily at level 52 on my 2nd or 3rd try.
But for Xemnas I had to grind to get to lvl 100 to brute force him with high stats.
>>
>>584641241

What they did wrong is giving quadratum sora was giving him unnecessary shadows on his face that makes his eyes BIGGER(they're already big in the first place) in comparison

The problem I'm sure some people are having in KH1 is that pretty much everything online tells you to pick staff but by doing that you essentially give up Second Chance for the superbosses because you get it at level 90 and at level 90 you don't need second chance any more.

I let the demons take over me right before bed and tried to map out a Deltarune-esque Weird Route for KH1. Didn’t get too far

>Refuse to go with DG (they can still be found in District 1 to keep the game going as normal) They still teach you Fire and Dodge Roll.
>Talk to Nephews enough for them to mention Cid’s expertise in Gummi stuff
>Since Cid is out of the loop right now, he wouldn’t tell you to go with DG like the other FF characters.
>Talk to him enough to get him to start his Gummi business earlier and move over to his usual location. Have to had made enough munny to buy what you need, Heartless won’t spawn until you leave the world
>Have to leave through Merlin’s place because one of DG is blocking the hard exit, and the other moved into Cid’s shop and blocks the Save Point
>Crashes in Deep Jungle as first world due to bad navigational skills
>Proceeds similarly except Clayton manages to kill Terk
>This weakens Sora’s heart, even if he still beats / kills Clayton and Sneak
>Next is Wonderland, but Sora’s anger at the Clayton situation means he takes out (or tries to) the Queen of Hearts
>Whether he goes to Olympus or not, he cannot meet Hercules. Sora likely would leave soon after arriving, not wanting to deal with Phil.
>However, this could be an opportunity for Hades to try manipulating Sora, but he wouldn’t be able to pit him against Herc, he’s too heroic.
And this is where I left off. I always kind of assumed Riku kidnapped Alice, but that might’ve been too early. If he did, Hades would know how to press Sora’s buttons. But Hades mostly only cares about taking out Hercules, so there’s not much point. Sora could just immediately leave Olympus and make his way back to Traverse Town

I checked the reviews for Re;CoM before I played it myself and I saw people were having a terrible time dealing with trickmaster in Re/Birth but for me it was one of the easiest because of the way the preset decks work.

I specifically said Disney bosses for a reason. OC boss wise, the two that people always complained about was Shadow Sora and Riku 2.

>>584699187
>>584699301
I don't think we're getting forms. The whole point of Build seems to be keeping Sora as Sora with different combo trees accessible on the fly.

And seeing just how many more forms KH3 gave Sora (10 vs. 6) just for people to whine about wanting Drive Forms back, I can understand the decision to just give up doing those outfit color changes altogether.

No because kh fans are uber retarded and something like a simple name change is enough to completely befuddle them. Attractions are, mechanically, literally just reality shifts. Build if anything would be mechanically closer to link attacks or link styles .

literally what makes you think that? Just the key thing in the direct trailer (which looks like some finisher move)?
>but forms being taken out of KH4 would be strange since they're a staple.
hence the point anons are making, scrap&build will be just like forms, or more like styles (think BBS). Even the command menu changing seems to point to that, and some people even think the lava/water keyblade is actually a form itself: instead of Sora changing clothes it's keyblades that change shape (which is just like KH3's formchanges i guess)

tldr we fucking don't know, even with the achievement leak we still know basically nothing

Well Kairi throws her and SHE is the one who teleports to it, so I guess she's the 2nd person to abuse this weird property

>>584860065
The best explanation I've got is this: it was more a question of time than strength. Xehanort was a desperate man in BBS. He didn't enough ingredients for a true X-Blade and he was getting old, so jamming Ventus and Vanitas into a bootleg X-Blade was his best bet at the time. Stealing Terra's body was ultimately just insurance. If the bootleg X-Blade worked, good, he could just do his universal reset right then and there. If it failed, no biggie, Terra's youth would give him the time he needed to do it all properly. In KH3, he had all cards. He could do things at his own tempo (also he doesn't really fight the Guardians until he gets his hands on the X-Blade, which I assume buffs the user massively).
>>
>>584866478
He's delightfully ambiguous enough for mass market appeal in the east and west.
>>
>>584867547
>also he doesn't really fight the Guardians until he gets his hands on the X-Blade
He oneshots Sora, Riku and Mickey before getting Xblade
>>
>>584856047
Yep
>>
>>584867627
Telekinetically smacking people with keyblades and casting a spell isn't that straining on the body.
>>
>>584868332
Could be good if done right.
Hopefully he doesn't kill Kairi.
>>
>>584868403
Kairi's already died once. Sora brought her back with the Power of Waking. MoM however is like how he is because he went through a Xehanort situation from Dark Road but 100x worse
>>
>>584868779
MoM made up his backstory so Luxu would feel bad for him.
>>
>>584868987
The Darknesses partially confirm it though.

MoM being Sora sucks. Sora should stay being a regular guy. Or if he has to be someone, make him Player's reincarnation because even Player was just an ordinary guy compared to most other KHUX characters.

I mean not really. The player in UX was kinda OP and had a strong enough heart that they remembered their past life after reincarnation.

Vanitas is one of the OG Darknesses though. He possessed Ventus during UX but lost his memories like Ventus did

Despite being an ordinary boy, Sora is also pretty OP, and he has an extremely strong heart. We also don't quite know how reincarnation fully works. Like why does Missing Link Player show up roughly the same age as he was in KHUX, while Xehanort's 14th incarnation isn't old man Nort?

Because three different voice actors for Old Man Nort have died. The younger version is a safer bet if he’s gonna keep showing up.

then again, i'm biased cause i really don't see what's so bad about attractions either, they're just fun things you can CHOOSE to use, even disregarding critical converter you can just not press the dedicated situational command. But i'm pretty sure people acted the way they did cause they skipped all tutorials and didn't know you can cycle through situational commands and don't have to press all of them, cause there's no other explanation.
It's like complaining about reality shifts in 3D, and It's the same retardation that hit KH2's reaction commands, though at least KH2 was indeed built around you pressing triangle so i can see the issue there

We know of a few, there was Aqua's story(of which 0.2 was only a portion), Riku and Mickey's, Kairi at least had a part, and I think possibly Xehanort would have too although Nomura said he had an entire game about Xehanort that he had ideas for(which eventually had to get cut down and reworked into Dark Road, something he only did because the KHux team approached him for the idea when he was basically abou to accept it would never see the light of day)

What I found about him mentioning BBS Vol 2

>—Do you have any particular recommendations from the factors added to Final Mix?

>Nomura: The Secret Episode. It goes a step further than any of the other secret movies in the series so far by letting you play it as an episode. There's an urgency to the plot and battles, and I'm glad I tried putting it in. By the way, the words 'Birth by Sleep -Volume Two-' show up at the end. That points out that Aqua's story of the developments in the Realm of Darkness does exist. That she didn't necessarily just wander lost in the darkness for ten years, and that there is a story she experienced. However, it is not shown - that episode lives up to its other name, 'A fragmentary passage...', and it cuts off there. I'd like to get a chance to tell that story somewhere, though.

>---Many of our fans are excited to see the Birth by Sleep Final Mix secret ending, which mentions Birth by Sleep Volume 2. What were your thoughts behind including this?

>Nomura: I suppose you could say that the ideas are "floating". See, Birth by Sleep Volume 2 was never meant to be the second chapter of Birth by Sleep. Rather, it was intended to be a separate piece. The ideas are still there, but they are not currently being pursued. Perhaps in the future we will have the opportunity to touch back upon this subject.

I just got to the part where Sora uses that fake Keyblade on himself, it was in that instant that Roxas was born, correct? How was it that Ventus still lay dorment within Sora when he did that, was it because he spent such a short time as a heartless? Is there an actual explanation for it or did Noruma just simply not think it through? I suppose Ventus's influence is why Namine has blonde hair and not red like Kairi and probably Kairi's status as a princess of heart is why she still retains her powers over memories even as she became a singular independent existence.

Am I thinking about it too hard ? Honestly the concept of Nobodies and regular people reminds me of the Murakumo Units a little especially because after some time just like a Nobody becomes an independent existence should it exist long enough without being killed, the murakumo units no longer stay as simply vessels for the azure, the origin or even that girl while still retaining the power they've been given and even growing it to some extent.

So interesting when you think about mutli concepts like that while knowing nothing, it's like idiotic rambling babble yet kinda addicting in some way, you know? Anyway, Ansem-Riku was tough, it really came down to the wire, I shamelessly had to rely on the olympia, ethers and glide cheese to stay alive despite being level 50, in other words I have not improved despite having 2o years of foresight on myside.
>>
>>584894528
>After “KH1.5” and “KH2.5”, we were a bit surprised by “KH2.8”. Please tell us the origin of that title.
>Nomura: It does contain some meaning, but it takes some thought. Now “KH DDD” is currently in the making (previously made as KH3D: Dream Drop Distance) and before the production of that was “KH2.5”…. 2.6 would have been an appropriate title. And then came “KHx” and “KH Unchained x” as well as “KH x Back Cover”. With Sora’s absence, I started to consider “0”. “KH BBS” is 0.1, now “KH0.2 BBS ” fit into the title with “0.2”. So “2.6” + “0” + “0.2” create the number “2.8”.

>I see! Having to shake the time axis of the series to make new additions. The 0.2 in “KH0.2 BBS” especially had to have a deliberate significance.

>Nomura: In the secret episode of “KH BBS Final Mix”, there was a display of “0.5”. “0.5” was originally intended to be a full volume as a sequel to “KH BBS”. But because “KHIII” is still the top priority, “0.1” took one step forward to “0.2”.
>So is there still a potential for “KH2.9” to be released?

>Nomura: Following “KHIII” (laughs). The subtitle of “KH2.8” is “Final Chapter Prologue” and “KHIII” is the last chapter in the “Dark Seeker” series and the intention is for the prologue to be a taste of what the final chapter will hold. The meaning of the “0.1” left over will be seen within “KHIII”.

>In an interview in the KH Days Ultimania, you said ‘I’m thinking of a mystery KH that made the producer go “what??”‘. Was that KH3D?

Nomura: No, it wasn’t. I originally planned to make that after KHBBS, but we ended up making KH3D and the project was stopped. It’s a shame, but we won’t be starting that project again.

The Doylist reason is that Ventus wasn't even a concept at that point, remember that BBS wasn't even a concept till like 4 years later. The watsonian reason is that Ventus was asleep, and without a trigger to wake him up he stayed asleep in the empty vessel which was Sora's body. With the heart still asleep the Nobody had a form to take the image of but no ego so we get zombie Roxas who then develops his own ego.

Ehh Murakumo Units are honestly more like Replicas.
>>
>>584894956
No that shit all essentially gets hand waved. It's uh.. yeah honestly extremely fucking annoying because how Ventus somehow influenced the Nobodies of two other people makes zero fucking sense. Roxas you could get away with, but Namine? Hell, Namine is a fucking paradox as is, given that she and Kairi existed at the same time.. in fact, Roxas is also a fucking paradox because he was also kicking about while Sora was. Something that is canonically impossible due to how Nobodies work

>— At the end of the secret movie for KHBBSFM, an interesting message that said ‘Birth by Sleep -Volume Two’ appeared. Is there a chance that a KHBBS2 will be appearing?

>Nomura: It seems that many people thought that, but during that movie there were the words ‘A fragmentary passage’, weren’t there? That means a ‘bits and pieces of something whole’. In short, a story for ‘Volume Two’ exists that ought to be told, but the story cuts off with those scenes. Because of that, I won’t say there is absolutely no chance that we will produce a title to follow KHBBS , but there are no plans as of now.

>— In an interview in the KH Days Ultimania, you said ‘I’m thinking of a mystery KH that made the producer go “what??”‘. Was that KH3D?

>Nomura: No, it wasn’t. I originally planned to make that after KHBBS, but we ended up making KH3D and the project was stopped. It’s a shame, but we won’t be starting that project again.

So yeah BBS Vol 2 was supposed to come out after BBS and possibly before DDD but for whatever reason it got scrapped.

>>584895463
Nomura has never even mentioned it in regard to Namine but you can easily come to a conclusion with the in-universe knowledge we have now. In the same fashion that Sora filled in the missing part of Ventus' heart and became Vanitas' face, so too did Ventus do for Namine and Roxas.

You are in fact wrong about Roxas. Namine did indeed come into existence as possibly the most nobody Nobody but Sora did in fact become a heartless when Roxas was born. However due to Kairi restoring him to human form(and with a body unlike the common misconception) the memories that he was slowly losing as he faded into darkness all came back and Roxas got nothing, leaving him an empty zombie unlike the other Organization members who all had their memories and formed their personaliteis and mannerisms off of it.
>>
>>584894956
> I just got to the part where Sora uses that fake Keyblade on himself, it was in that instant that Roxas was born, correct? How was it that Ventus still lay dorment within Sora when he did that, was it because he spent such a short time as a heartless?

The original idea was that Ventus WASNT dormant within Sora. He awoke in a new form that took the name Roxas. But Roxas just was so popular fans didn’t like the idea that he was a reincarnated Ventus. So Nomura changed it at the last minute in KH3.

>—In KH BbS, Master Xehanort's goal behind opening Kingdom Hearts was to "create a new world." But in this game, he says it is to "reset the world." Why the difference?

>Nomura: What was revealed in this game was another piece of the truth: his goal was "this world is no longer any good, and we have to recreate it from scratch."

>—We are interested in why Xehanort would come to such a conclusion.

>Nomura: At first, I did want to use a next game to dig down into how Xehanort went from that simple boy playing the chess-like game to an admirer of the darkness. But, if I do that, then the Dark Seeker Chronicle wouldn't have ended with KH3 after all (laughs.) Some ideas had solidified to a degree, but it's shelved for now.

>https://www.khinsider.com/news/Kingdom-Hearts-3-Ultimania-Scenario-Mysteries-Interview-Translated-14746
Dark road basically. Nomura loves to base his characterizations off games and ideas that's haven't even happened. Sure do wish the games were longer to at least hint at these things a bit more. I really hope KH4 being longer is actually all story and not just disney filler or sidequests.
>>
>>584896145
>So Nomura changed it at the last minute in KH3
By DDD where we see both Roxas and Ventus as separate people. Oh he considered as he stated but he clearly had different ideas by the time DDD came around.

That's the problem. It specifically states that a person CAN'T come back until both the Heartless and Nobody are destroyed. There was also no heartless for Namine which is especially weird.
>>
>>584896457
> By DDD where we see both Roxas and Ventus as separate people.

So? They were separate personas, like YX and MX. But there was nothing stopping them from ultimately merging together as the resolution other than fan wankery.
>>
>>584896481
>That's the problem. It specifically states that a person CAN'T come back until both the Heartless and Nobody are destroyed
That's for everyone else, as a princess of heart Kairi enacted a miracle impossible for anyone else that even defies the laws of nature, just like when she held on to Sora and the guardians of light as they died which allowed Sora to then save them all.

As for Namine you're looking at it all wrong. It's not equivalent exchange. The requirements for a nobody to be born are "someone becomes a heartless and the body fades away"

When Sora became a heartless it was because he released Kairis' heart from within his own.
A heartless was born, a body faded away. The requirements were met and so a nobody was born. Because two hearts were released two nobodies were born, but because Kairi was a princess of heart and it was impossible for her to become a heartless she just returned to her own body.

It's like a glitch in the universe. Like when Sora reveving six people with a power not meant to do that causes time to break and rewind.
>>
>>584896909
>So? They were separate personas, like YX and MX. But there was nothing stopping them from ultimately merging together as the resolution other than fan wankery.
You retard, YX and MX aren't separate personas, they are the same person merely at different points in their life existing in the same time due to time travel. Roxas and Ventus are two separate egos like Roxas and Sora.
>>
>>584897138
> Roxas and Ventus are two separate egos like Roxas and Sora.

Nothing was stopping them from revealing a twist that they were the same ego without memories. Other than fans like you who would whined and moaned over it because it didn’t match your headcanon.
>>
>>584896941
>Like when Sora reveving six people with a power not meant to do that causes time to break and rewind.
Ok the Power of Waking and this are two completely different fucking things. This is a plot hole. Plain and simple.
>>
>>584896481
She's the nobody of a princess of heart, people who straight up have no darkness in their heart, which is odd because we saw that back in the Chi time the foretellers were also like that until the Master of Masters and Luxu effectively groomed them to be taken in by the vessels of Darkness that ultimately led to the destruction of the keyblader system and rise of the dandylions, the only one seemingly unaffected by darknesss was Ava, but that's a lie because Luxu straight up prayed upon her darkness to goad her into attacking him which he blocked but the resulting clash of blades between them with killing intent was enough to move the bell to ring which as the master already set up, effectively told everybody it was time to start fighting and killing each other, which further fed their confusion, their anger, their paranoia their fears.

in fact, I'm even more concerned why once Luxu called them all back save for Ava why they're so cordal with the bastard who destroyed their society by turning them against one another, I'd be pissed off, in fact they weren't even pissed at each other even through they were trying to murder each other in Chi Union to the point they were picking on the player character and were going to strike them if their union leader didn't come in last moment. speaking of the player, it was a mistake to make such a force an avatar, Skuld and Elpmhimer and Straleiza still want them back, this is not a series like Pokemon where a canon design and a canon name are enough, the player had none of those things and they aren't even dead. Noruma made a mess he does not have the time left in this world to clean up and it's a bit frustrating.
>>
>>584897375
>Ok the Power of Waking and this are two completely different fucking things. This is a plot hole. Plain and simple.
No it's not. The power of waking is meant to wake up sleeping hearts. As Chirithy explains sleep and death overlap. So when Sora uses the power to wake up dead hearts restores them to the point before they died. This causes time to straight up break and reset. That's why chirithy mentions a tear in the fabric of time.
>>
>>584897661
As a I saw someone explain, what Sora did with the power of waking was manipulate the boundary of life and death with a power that's not even meant to do that. He didn't have the "authority" to do so, trespassing in a domain that was not his. It's like Hades trying to govern the sky. He's a god of death not the sky. Sora reached in to the styx, the river sanzu, and pulled out the dead and fell in himself. Then the shit with him using worlds to find the hearts was like fucking up the river itself, like making a dam and ridirecting them to bring them closer.
>>
>>584897428
>I'm even more concerned why once Luxu called them all back save for Ava why they're so cordal with the bastard who destroyed their society by turning them against one another, I'd be pissed off, in fact they weren't even pissed at each other even through they were trying to murder each other in Chi Union to the point they were picking on the player character and were going to strike them if their union leader didn't come in last moment.
I'm pretty this was all just them going along with the plan.
>>
>>584898689
I'd personally like to think all of them are in a state of extreme humiliation, resignation, and depression. All of them fucked up and failed, even though this was exactly what the Master intended none of them actually know that (as far as we know). Remember, they all beleived in and basically worshipped the Master of Masters to the point he litereally gave them their names, we don't actually know what their old names were. They were basically born again under him.

Seeing the KH1 ending again with current knowledge is an odd feeling knowing Aqua was THIS close to going home before having it ripped away from her for another 2 years but it's also funny, Mickey effectively got stripped down to his underwear just because at the time of KH1 Noruma was not allowed to use Mickey as liberally as he wanted to, Disney only agreed to 1 appearance from Mickey so he had to make it count and boy did it, from that moment on people were eager to see more of Mickey so Disney decided to let Noruma do with him as he will, thus came his black coat appearance in the deep dive teaser and his Noruma outfit in Chain of Memories, his constant appearances in KH2, through I'll be honest, as much as I found that fun, I'm not gonna throw on purpose just to get to play mickey again in 2, I'll have plenty of time to use him in 3 and 4

You guys remember that G4 series Iconics where they would do these little documentry style shows on various video game franchises? I kinda wish something like that was still around and respected enough where they could talk to actual developers, voice actors, character designers, sound designers, OST creators and so on

>it was in that instant that Roxas was born, correct?
Correct
>How was it that Ventus still lay dorment within Sora when he did that, was it because he spent such a short time as a heartless?
That's also right, it's why Roxas has no memories as well, because Sora was restored so quickly after becoming a heartless.
> I suppose Ventus's influence is why Namine has blonde hair and not red like Kairi and probably Kairi's status as a princess of heart is why she still retains her powers over memories even as she became a singular independent existence.
That's an inference a lot of people have, myself included. In a sense, Naminé is the only real nobody in a sense.

>>584937562
I just want to know more about the logistics of KH2 Riku becoming Ansem and having access to the Guardian. Its not as if Riku would have been actively trying to keep Terra chained.

The biggest thing that got me for missing link was seeing how keyblade wielders made their own civilization and society. The of having operations masters in charge of societies because there weren't enough Masters to go around really fascinated me. They also seemed to have scientists who were independent or maybe worked for a more central governmental body. Considering they had actual Masters around but not enough for each society made me think they made up more ranks


>Masters
>>Eraqus was specifically chosen as a Successor(whatever that means) and tasked with defending Land of Departure. Teachers passing down knowledge of the keyblade to new generations like Odin and Xehanort himself.

>Operations Master
>What Nept was, he ran the society that you would have been part of and seemed to have some authority.


>Apprentices(may or may not have their keyblade)

Kinda feels like there aren't enough categories between them. Like having something between apprentice and Master though maybe that would have been operations master? Because in Dark Road PART of finishing up the formal training was to become a keyblade master and do the mark of mastery. Also in BBS Eraqus mentions the precepts barred certain knowledge so maybe there was a keyblade master council like the fucking jedi. You also had city guards in scala and they were probably keyblade wielders but not necessarily masters of any kind but who knows.

Maybe the dandelions are like that in KH4. They're working with the government, get requests from them, and even seem to fight alongside non-keyblade soldiers so maybe we get to see more of that .

The answer to what's in the Black Box might be possible to figure out once you realize it's the KH version of the Ark of the Covenant. Ot at least that's my theory on it. There are so many biblical things in the UX trilogu like that like Ark/Lifeboat (fuck that name) that was used to survive a biblical flood.

So it's the KH Equivalent of the 10 Commandments, Aaron's Rod and Manna. I dont think its going to be weird Jewish food, Aaron's Rod was a stick with magical properties so it could be a strange callback to Terra's wooden keyblade or Sora and Riku's wooden sword, but most likely it's just the 10 Commandments. The Laws of God. The equivalent to the Laws of God in KH might be the taboos like the one Sora broke with the Power of Waking. The Forbidden path. We dont know what the rest were, and it would give MoM hope if he could rewrite the laws of reality. It's also going to be combined with technology/computer analogy like UX mentions viruses so the laws will be like source code. Source code in a black box. Black boxes are already a tech/computer thing.

Ansem's final stage kicked my ass so I threw a temper tandrum by taking it out at the Hades cup, the old strat of staying close to him when he does his field attack worked like a charm, I had no idea you could fight the Ice titan and Seperoth right after if you wanted to, I think I'll wait I hit level 78 before I try, the Rock Titan was a chump but he was always one, the only danger he poses is his steps but the Ice Titan was on some bullshit even back then with his iccile attack, from what I remember using Aero for him makes his attacks bigger well in any case I still have to do Pooh's world, I forgot about it til now

Truly the KH fan litmus test. If they skip the story on a first series playthrough, either playing the whole game or purely watching cutscenes, then they won't survive the winter. Because if you can survive COM, you can surely handle Days, BBS, and DDD.

They definitely got their scary vibe back during the end game. I think the real problem is that every game after KH1 doesn't introduce new enemies in their final levels. Just the same enemies you've seen before but with higher stats.

Purebloods definitely took a step back in KH2 because of the Nobodies, but they were definitely coming back a bit in KH3, and now seem outright scary in KH4. As for Emblems being stronger? They just have more elite foes and bosses because it's easier to justify in lore compared to Pureblood having those.

Why in God's name would Nomura want to add characters from the series that represent Square Enix' mismanagement and takeover that made his mentor leave and cost Nomura Versus 13 and a year of development time on KH3 and God knows what else. Why would you even need that when Nomura got Noctis back and made him Yozora.

Again to us, the audience. Excuse my rant but I think people sometimes forget this: TERRA HAS NO REASON BEFORE THE LAST HOUR OF THE GAME TO THINK XEHANORT IS EVIL. You're asking someone to look at a well-respected master who is also his adopted father's best friend, and distrust him because WE the audience know he's evil due to future knowledge he doesn't have. I know someone will say "but look at him, he's ACTING so evil!" but you're forgetting that in the context of the world they grew up in, our trio lived in a paradise where evil didn't exist. Evil has no identifiable marks for them, they would have no way of recognizing what is "evil behavior". To them, Xehanort's mannerisms are at most a weird eccentricity he's almost been known for having.
And when it comes to the Disney villains, it's always the first person Terra meets in the world and he doesn't have any other perspective to consider. And it should be noted, he never entirely trusts them anyway, except for Hook which to be fair, Peter Pan is a little shit and that's why people enjoy so much the "put Peter Pan in his place" line

Not that guy and I don't disagree but what the fuck are you talking about Eraqus was teaching them that darkness must be destroyed their entire childhood so bad Aqua was going to kill Lady Tremaine and then I think she did

About Xehanort I mean.
Something about Eraqus being so blinded by the light he was in denial something about light making you so naive you trust bad guys and throw the star wars prequels in there and it makes sense to me.

And yet they never saw any growing up because the Keyblade War was a long time ago (and simultaneously not that long ago), there's a reason heartless only started appearing when Aqua went into THEIR world.

I'm assuming it was the Keyblade War and that Kairi's Grandma's story was always about the Keyblade War. Just a very early version of that ide so no details were really planned. She never mentions a Keyblade but she does mention the door to darkness opening and you need a Keyblade for that. And she says people were fighting over light.

I mean what else would it be? Triton and Kairi's grandma were the only 2 bits of the world's origin we had in KH1
>>
>>585070298
What Keyblade war though? The one the MoM went through or the one the MoM caused.

>>585073836
KHUX and Dark Road. I'm pretty sure they reuse it for the intro if X even.

>Long ago, people lived in peace, bathed in the warmth of light. Everyone loved the light. Then people began to fight over it.
They wanted to keep it for themselves. And darkness was born in their hearts.

MoM making the Unions fight over Lux/Guilt.

>The darkness spread, swallowing the light and many people's hearts. It covered everything, and the world disappeared. But small fragments of light survived...in the hearts of children.

Dandelions and Ephemer at the end of KHUX. Worlds split.

>With these fragments of light, children rebuilt the lost world. It's the world we live in now.
Dark Road had students responsible for protecting the worlds as they revived.

>But the true light sleeps, deep within the darkness. That's why the worlds are still scattered, divided from each other. But someday, a door to the innermost darkness will open. And the true light will return.

This is the only weird part but maybe someone knows because I have a terrible memory. But I don't know how this relates to UX at all. At the time it was supposed to be the light of Kingdom Hearts coming from the Door to Darkness and returning all the worlds. I'm not even sure what true light returning even meant for the series after KH1 to be honest besides worlds returning. This was before Kingdom Hearts Ansem made was fake.

>>585078535
The implications that he's got some deeper connection than just being an Invisible on roller skates with a PhD in swordplay. Darkness took its form when ousting Sora from Ven's heart, and it physically resembles Ephemera, with the red scarf and all. I'm not saying it IS him, but the closer to human the more unnatural a monster is, and Neoshadows, Invisibles, and Dark Inferno qualify for that. Darkside too, even though they're usually weak as shit. Whatever they were doing to the fallen land in the Realm of Darkness is similar to what they were doing to the worlds, if Destiny Islands was any evidence. That darkness black hole showed up when the World ended too.
>>
>>585079018
>but the closer to human the more unnatural a monster is
Fair. There's something particularly eerie about the more humanoid heartless. While Parasol Beauties aren't particularly imposing, they really get the mind working. Were they aristocrats who lost their hearts due to the darkness associated with that particular kind of greed? I wonder what determines the physical appearance of the humanoid type Heartless
>>
>>585079537
I take it the true difference between Purebloods and Emblems is that Emblems are forms of darkness born 'influenced' by other data, like information on the worlds or from the hearts of others. Or both. Purebloods have no such 'influence', and are Heartless in their purest form. It's not just "Emblems have hearts, Purebloods don't", because while that's true, some Emblems weren't born from a corrupted heart, but rather from pure darkness itself. Like the Ruler of the Skies was born from Captain Hook's greed, but as an Emblem it has a heart itself, not Hook's.
>>
>>585079963
Also thinking on it, that 'data' could be light itself, like Lux. Hearts are physically points of light, and light gives definition to rules that define the order of the worlds. Emblems could be darkness 'corrupted' by light, and that light coalesces and accumulates within them as their hearts.

So then... Sora's Heartless appeared as a Pureblood instead of an Emblem because it had no light whatsoever? He willingly yielded himself to the darkness to save Kairi, perhaps accepting his fate, and thus the light of his heart was completely snuffed out?

You're probably gonna have a bitch of a time trying for Mystery Goo, so my recommendation is to, instead of fucking with Rare Truffles, go for 100 hits on the Pink Agaricus in Deep Jungle. You'll get a shitload of EXP for your effort, as well as Serenity Powers.

Nope. Bambi can drop specific drops relating to the world in question, but Mystery Goo is only dropped by White Mushrooms, Rare Truffles, and Pink Agaricus. The first one only has a 20% chance of dropping, and the second one has an annoying minigame that I've never liked.
