You might be tempted to take the ridiculous anime aesthetic seriously, so YMMV. But probably yes. Also this is /co/

>>89413210
I enjoyed it and I'm not big into vidyas in general.

>>89413210
You may or may not, really the disney/square aspect is a flavor text to a "normal" convoluted JRPG.

>>89413249
But Batman/Justice League games are talked about all the time

>>89413249
Well the unique visuals of the art is what appeals to me, honestly. I hear the story is fucked up though.

Then again, I'm a comics fan so I'm used to that.

>>89413210
>I've never played a JRPG
It's more action based, not turn based if that makes a difference

>>89413288
It's about as convoluted as space time can get, BUT it's written decently, much better then some comics even. If you sat through Nu52 Teen Titans, you can deal with this.

>>89413288
>I hear the story is fucked up though.
It's fine for the first two games. I have no idea what the fuck is going on with all the side games building up to 3

>>89413288
You'll probably like it. I only played the first game but I actually enjoyed it - though fuck the hundred acre woods bit.

It's ridiculous swords and zippers and stereotype JRPG plots amped up to 11, but even that kinda cartoonification of a JRPG fits.

>>89413210
Maybe, it has a lot of Disney references.
You'll want to run from all the battles because the combat sucks but if you like WRPGs you might like it more.

>>89413347
BBS was a prequel to bridge how they got their powers
358/2 days was Roxas' time as a nobody giving a reason as to why he was ousted from the Organization
Coded was a means to show that Deep Down there are hidden memories of someone else in sora (I don't fuckin know it was stupid)
DDD was the link between 2 and 3 showing some development on both Riku and Sora as well as giving the protags and actual measure of how fucking ahead Xehanort is in planning shit.

>>89413210
Well you gotta ask yourself

After years of Simple and Clean/Sanctuary remixes, it'll be nice to have something NEW for once.

>>89414210
It's funny the Main 3 are just beat out emotionally by the other ones. Even the relationship of young Xehanort and Eraqus seems more interesting.

KH isn't a JRPG.

Play Chrono Trigger instead.

>>89413210
I think you'd enjoy Kingdom Hearts 2 and up.
Kingdom Hearts 1 has repetitive space battles that get really annoying.
I mean, I rented the game and only played it for three days (didn't really get anywhere) and I was sick of the space battles everytime I had to go to a different planet.

>>89414173
Kingdom Hearts' RPG mechanics are about as integral to the gameplay as something like Dynasty Warriors.

>>89413210

It's not a JRPG, they haven't actually made those for consoles since early last console generation. I'm pretty sure Lost Odyssey was the last one. Even modern Final Fantasy games aren't JRPG anymore.

KH is an ARPG with a very kinetic, fluid combat system that I really like. The gameplay of the mainline games is top notch. If you like fluid, combo based combat with a happy, bright aesthetic, there's a lot to like here.

The plot isn't appreciably more convoluted than most games, the problem is that it's spread out among a shitload of different spin off games on a magical rainbow of different handhelds. However, the details these contain are either largely disposable or only related to side bosses you probably won't fight anyway unless you're an insane completionist. And if you do care, most of it is now available for PS3 in the 1.5 and 2.5 bundles.

If you're expecting new insights into Disney characters, though, you're probably going to be disappointed. Most of the Disney stuff is abridged rehashes of the movies with tiny little adjustments to force them to fit in with the story of the game. The only world plot that's really noticeably different from its source are the KH1 versions of Nightmare Before Christmas and The Little Mermaid, and the KH2 version of Beauty and the Beast. Everything else is 90% rehash.

You will miss out on some "OH HEY IT'S THAT GUY" moments by not having played the 90s Final Fantasies first, but that's not a huge loss.

>>89414314
Shut up Boco.

>>89414378

They're still part of the gameplay.

>>89414367
>I was sick of the space battles everytime I had to go to a different planet.
You only have to do the space segments when you're going to a new world for the first time. The game gives you an option to skip them after that.

>>89414394
Yeah, but so many genres have RPG mechanics these days that the term "RPG" has come to refer to games where they play a major a part in the game. With Kingdom Hearts, you could cut out all of the levelup and equipment stuff and you'd still have the same, exact game, but with slightly less customization.

So? It's still a JRPG regardless. Just because it doesn't follow the strictest guidelines that more traditional games did doesn't mean it can't be counted as such. There's hardly much need to differentiate so much, like how people keep saying Smash isn't a fighting game just because it doesn't play like Street Fighter or Tekken but you're still fighting characters with other characters.

>>89414469
you could cut out equipment i guess, but the stats/ability customization is most of the game. Sora (and the BBS characters) has a shitload of build variety and the most recent titles have you fusing and grinding out abilities. that's rpg mechanics

>>89414477
Some fag from Square Enix was in an elevator with some fag from Disney. They engaged in awkward conversation and realized.

"Oh yeah, we have characters and our buildings are close."

That is actually what happened.

>>89414533

That's stupid. By that logic, Metroid is a JRPG because it comes from Japan and you have at least one statistic that improves. Why have genres at all if their names are so broad and general they can apply to basically any game?

>>89414550
To be fair who would pass up an entry into another exploitable medium?

>>89414610

Because JPRG is technically a blanket term and not a specific genre. Christ almighty, why do you people get so uppity because people call things like KH an RPG?

Its an action RPG. Thats its own genre.

Lots of people. American media executives are incredibly gunshy about crossovers because american copyright law was created by lunatics for other lunatics exclusively.

The heads of Marvel are assholes who hate DC for petty reasons?

>>89414634

Because JRPGs used to be a genre and now because the label has been watered down into a blanket term, we don't get the kind of games the genre used to describe anymore. It's because "JRPG" is allowed to describe ARPGs and adventure games and puzzle games and fucking Mario Tennis that Squeenix feels fine making an action adventure game with some RPG elements and calling it Final Fantasy 15. Because of that, real JRPG gameplay where people stand in a line and take turns selecting commands out of a menu is just not a thing anymore.

So no, you may not have that word. That word means a specific thing that we would like back, please.

>>89414830
sorry to break it to you, but jrpgs aren't around because rpg elements got added to other games

jrpgs aren't around because AAA games are so expensive and turn based combat is and always has been a niche

there were a million people around to buy Final Fantasy 7 and there are a million people around to buy turn based RPGs today, you just need more than a million people to make a AAA game, that's why persona is low budget as fuck

>>89414929

>turn based combat is and always has been a niche
>there were a million people around to buy Final Fantasy 7

Final Fantasy 7 sold 10 million copies. It's the second highest selling PS1 game behind Gran Turismo.

>>89414830
>Because of that, real JRPG gameplay where people stand in a line and take turns selecting commands out of a menu is just not a thing anymore.
Why are you complaining about JRPGs if you don't even play them? Try Bravely Default, Legend of Heroes, and World of Final Fantasy. WoFF was a preemptive apology for FF15 to fans who like turn-based. Also Persona 5 in a couple months.

>>89413210
>I like Disney a lot
>Would I like Kingdom Hearts?
Ditch it and play the platformers instead.

>>89415003
back when jrpgs also had the edge of technical achievement

turn based is too niche to support the budget required of being a technical showpiece. FF7's remake is an action game for exactly that reason, you can't release a turn based game that costs that much. nobody would like it.

>>89415018

>Bravely Default,
Have it, love it. I said they were still available for handhelds a few times upthread.

>Legend of Heroes
Have it, it's okay.

>World of Final Fantasy
Saw the name and assumed it was some cash grab pseudo MMO let me just google some footage...

No. NO.

>Persona 5
Okay, this looks promising. I'm glad to see there's at least one hold out.

>>89415075
>you can't release a turn based game that costs that much. nobody would like it.

Based on what? There wasn't even really a high profile failure of a JRPG, they just kind of stopped making them.

>>89415018
>WoFF was a preemptive apology
Sounds more like a sorry-but-not-sorry

>>89415301
there doesn't have to be a hindenburg of a jrpg to point to. jrpgs didn't all go handheld at the same time for no reason, it's becasue they were cheaper to make. Every big rpg turned into an action game as the budgets went higher. these aren't coincidences.

>>89415301
Right do you remember a game called FFXIII?
Is that battle system not what you're talking about? You select from a menu to make the character do a thing for you? Is that what you want it to go back to because literally that, alongside the brain dead story was made me stop playing it.

>>89415075

Maybe not in the states, but Japan still eats up a lot of oldschool shit no problem. Just look at Dragon Quest, that has been going on for longer than most people posting here have been alive, and Japan treats it with nearly the same level of love and endearment as Dragon Ball.

>>89414679
>Why do you think we don't have a Marvel vs DC vs Capcom that would basically be a license to print money?
I assume the problem isn't that it would too little print money but how the money would be split up.

>>89415384

No, FF12 and 13 were where it all went wrong. With a real JRPG you control a whole party with menus in a turn based battle. In FF12 and 13 you control just one character with a menu while things keep happening in real time so you have to run around and navigate the menu at the same time, while all your party members just do their own thing based on what you setup in the menu rather than being under your direct control. See also: Xenoblade, Magna Carta, and Ni No Kuni

The last real JRPG Final Fantasy game was 10.

>>89415404
Japan isn't a big enough market to support titles with massive budgets anymore though. Gotta aim globally.

>>89415470

This. It's why there won't be a Roger Rabbit II any time soon (and not just because of the loss of Bob, may he rest in peace), because Disney and Warner Bros would never be able to reach the kind of compromise they did all those years ago. You'd sooner have a live-action Kingdom Hearts with some kid actor teaming up with CG Donald and Goofy than something with Mickey and Bugs being a pair of dicks to some actor running through a cartoon world, that's made of already aged looking CGI.

>>89415404

You do know that Dragon Quest 9 was a handheld and Dragon Quest 10 was an MMO, right?

>>89415483
Anon that's far too anal when you categorize a singular section of turn-based RPG as JRPG

>>89415568

DQ9 being a handheld doesn't change squat. It was still a proper DQ game like 8 was.

>>89415404
but they had a musou that did really well, showing it wasn't necessarily the old school combat as it was the medium in question.

>>89414381
>And if you do care, most of it is now available for PS3 in the 1.5 and 2.5 bundles.
worth mentioning we're getting a PS4 port of those at the end of March

>>89415304
Yeah, that's probably more accurate.

>>89415669

The Musou game was just a spinoff, just like the recent Minecraft-like game they did. Not like it's really new for a series to branch out with its IP into other genres. Hell, some people forget that RE7 is not the first time RE had games played in a first-person perspective.

>>89413210
The games are really good, but if you want to be able to follow the plot, you'll have to actually research shit. If you like awesome boss fights, I'd definitely recommend it, the Disney aspect gets pushed aside in later games to focus on KH lore, though.

>>89415719

Not to mention it's even weirder how they've still left Xbox owners in the dirt with no way to catch up on the story other than getting a PS3 or 4, or using youtube to watch the 15 or so hours of story.

What do you mean it gave you a mystery box?

>>89416000

It kind of does when it's a series recognized to this say as one of the number excuses for people to call off sick from work/school. Meanwhile, in the states, the franchise barely gets any consistency in its game releases, much less the love and appreciation seen by other series like Final Fantasy or even the Tales franchise.

>>89416079
No it doesn't because it's a franchise decision not a medium decision. And are you really saying that the reason why people in the states don't play that franchise as much is due to the system that is actually in one of the other franchises?

>>89416232
its right here >>89416124

>>89416204

It does though. Get it through your head. Japan loves the franchise more than any other country, so of course they'll be more receptive to titles playing more traditionally than other countries would. It's not that hard to figure out.

>>89416232
Kingdom Hearts Backcover is movie ya dip.

>>89413347

The only real side games are coded and chi. All the others are as relevant story wise as 1 and 2. BBS is possibly more relevant than that even. And Nomura may make chi super relevant later too.

>>89416314
chi/khux is probably gonna be relevant. luxo, MoM, and the box will probably show up in 3

>>89416280
No, you're not understanding and I'm not actually sure why you're not understanding. The Japanese will eat that shit up BECAUSE of the franchise and whether or not it's the same medium doesn't necessarily matter i.e. Dragon Quest Heroes.

>>89413210
KH1 is pretty good but dated
KH2 is pretty good also but extremely flawed
Coded, 358/2 days, Birth by Sleep and Dream Drop Distance are where the story gets all fucked up and the gameplay is really hit or miss
it requires no knowledge of JRPGs to get the hang of, but if you're gonna play KH2 you better get the hang of the battle system properly of you're gonna miss out

>>89413726

One of the Trons. Tron from KH2 is still okay.

>>89416314

Pretty sure that's the new movie is basically doing, it's giving people who may have skipped on the ios game some idea of what it was about. Though it's unlikely that KHIII won't at least make some mention of what happened in it, albeit summarized so we're not sitting through a 46 minute cutscene about its whole plot.

>>89416382
that's a fake, a copy he is as real as data sora, or roxas

>>89416394
>Pretty sure that's the new movie is basically doing, it's giving people who may have skipped on the ios game some idea of what it was about.
nah. it's just the masters arguing and backstabbing each other while their master trolls them

>>89416361
I'd say Birth by Sleep was better then a majority of the other games. The story actually explains a great detailed amount of why the things that happened in Chain of Memories and KH2 Happened the way they did

>>89416358

I do understand, and I've been saying that that they love Dragon Quest a lot. One game out of the several many made doesn't mean they're about to switch the genre of the main games from there on out.

It's still something to the backstory. Just because we don't have everyone spontaneously uttering Sora's name doesn't mean it's wholly irrelevant.

If anything, it's refreshing that Sora doesn't have his smug face plastered every other scene on a window or in someone's "dream" vision as they spout the flowery dialogue.

If you don't like the JRPG aspect, I played it, and loved it, as kid, never touching that area of the game. Expect to be confused af.

>>89416457
No one said they were, but it's the theme of the franchise being as powerful as it is that keeps people coming back not necessarily the medium. Take for instance FFXIV, that shit plays similarly to ONLY XII and yet it's still big. meanwhile faggots all about going "It's not MUH FF!" That's what this argument basically is and started from!

>>89416399

One of the big themes of the series is fakes being as real as the real thing.

>>89416583

Not really, no. The whole point is that Japan can and has had success with games that still play on more traditional mechanics. It's the rest of the gaming world that would be difficult to market to beyond the small pockets of fan in whatever available regions they sell to.

I've seen theories that Braig is MoM and the whole thing is just a way for him to get his keyblade

>>89416742
Oh whatever then, I thought you were using the paper thin definition of what a JRPG is as a means to say that's why things succeeded solely. It's not that I'm saying they don't have success at all with the medium, I'm literally saying the medium changing, at this point in the life cycle, can benefit greatly if handled well and do the opposite if handled poorly. At this point you could do anything as so long as it's good the theme will carry it the entire way to success.

No but like Braig is still evil and whatnot, they all wake up in their original forms and Sora and Riku go to question them but find a buncha shot up corpses so they can't spill any secrets. Like the sensible not too edgy kinda dark.

Wait, there are people that like Chain of Memories?

>>89417034
Have you played Re:CoM? it was actually really good.

>>89417056

That sounds pretty damn edgy, mate. It'd be one thing if they were just "defeated" or banished to darkness. But being all shot up? That sounds like something out of a kid's fan fiction.

Besides, most of the Orgy-13 members who got axed before KH2 were just randoms who got turned into nobodies so Xehanort could fulfill his quota quicker. At least, that's what he hoped before realizing not all of them would wind up as his vessels. Odds are, Larxene and some of the others probably wouldn't know squat given that not all Nobodies becoming Somebodies always retain knowledge from the Nobody life.

>>89417074
Fair, what did you hate about it?

The card system was a neat way to slap together different skills and counters in one system if you learned it proper and can do it form memory.
Marluxia stood no chance against the shit ton of ultima I threw at him.

>>89417074

It's a really divisive combat system. I hate it but my friend loves it since it reminded him of the Battle Network games.

>>89417076
No way anon, most of the people in the Organization were connected to Ansem in some way with a maybe 4 or 5 being randos. I'm pushing that Xehanort made a group of sorts that became power hungry/curious and Xehanort pushed them to help him overthrow ansem so Xehanort could do the research.

And it's like that scene from rogue one where the guy is panicking so they shoot him because he's clearly gonna snitch the moment they get caught. It's not like they're found in a dark room with braid standing over them with one glowing eye spouting off some shitty joker one liner.

>>89417121
Mostly I felt that the battle system was too slow for my liking. Also the different rooms usually all being the same thing. It just kinda felt like a chore to be honest.

>Whoops! Ran out of cards, better stand idly as I reload.

>>89417255
Did you have alot of cards or the least amount of cards you could have?
The combat gets really fucking fast if you have less cards to use.

>>89417231

It's established at only the first 7 or so members (Xehanort included) were all in on the big plan, while the others were drafted in, Roxas being the last one given Sora's sacrifice and the belief that they could harness his mastery of the keyblade through Roxas.

Even then, the idea of them just being shot up seems edgy when just having someone say "they've been banished to the realm of darkness" works just as well.

Besides, nobody in the series has truly died yet.

>>89417288
I tried to be as maxed out as possible with my deck. So definitely a lot.

>>89417337
>they've been banished to the realm of darkness
I don't really know what your definition of edgy is unless dark is your definition is edgy.
But I hate that shit, it was dumb just as "Sent to the shadow realm" was. Because sure killing them might be much but there's no real sense of loss beyond Terra actually outright murdering his father figure. Is that edgy for you? Because it was perfectly dark enough to give him some actually character development for me.

>>89417356
See that's where you fucked up. Bigger deck means a longer wait time for both reloading and getting cacombos you need for skills.

>>89416641
confirmed how?

>>89417464

People being randomly shot in the face is pretty edgy, even if that technically isn't what the word means despite us using it because "fuck it, that's the internet" for you.

And Terra didn't murder Eraqus, he just beat him until he faded into darkness. Nobody is dead, hell, not even the real Ansem who took an explosion right to the face.

>>89417515

Whatever your definition for it is, it's a logical step to take in general for a bad guy who has useless subordinates that he can't deal with at that moment. Doesn't seem edgy at all.

>And Terra didn't murder Eraqus, he just beat him until he faded into darkness. Nobody is dead, hell, not even the real Ansem who took an explosion right to the face.

That is not the emotion of a guy who thinks "Oh I'll just find him somewhere in the darkness" Fuck off he's dead.

Did somebody say Aqua?

>>89417600

Yea, sure. Keep telling yourself that when he returns in the end of KHIII all alive again. People have barely died before, and they're not about to now.

And it's still pretty edgy to just shoot up characters when banishing them or having some confirm they've been "eliminated" offscreen works just as well. This isn't fucking GTA where death and gore are on display.

It was my first action rpg and first rpg in a long while (I dont remember what games did it but something made me dislike rpgs when I was younger so until my cousin got me the original on ps2 for christmas one year I wasnt sure what to think). With all the Final Fantasy characters, designs, and the fact that it is made by square enix it is a good way to slowly enter jrpgs since there are a lot of similar concepts and terminology. Since this was mostly aimed for younger audiences they make it easy for someone to grasp everything and before you do you'll have all the Disney stuff to distract. Before you know it you like the series for more than just Disney, the various worlds are naturally the best part in the end though.
>>89414367
I hated that to death but that by no means made it repetitive. Like someone said it is only for the first time and you said yourself you had it for only a few days. Twilight Town I admit was too annoying to me and just running around randomly till you meet Donald and Goofy but once I unlocked a few worlds things really switched up with all the summons, new party members, and initial introduction to new enemies (like that fat bastard that takes forever to kill no matter the world). But yeah 2 really improved on a lot with the new forms and other added gameplay. I enjoyed the bosses much more too since the first game had a lot of random things and mutated villains.

Never played Demons Souls or Dark Souls or Bloodborne?

>>89418174

Not quite the same thing. While they are action games with RPG elements, the Souls games are a bit more methodical in that you can't just mash away all willy nilly at the enemies. While you can't quite do the same in KH, you're more easily forgiven for running in and just mashing at enemies whereas BB and DS will have you seeing the "You are dead" message 10 times over.

>>89418252
Aqua didn't quite think this through.

>>89417645
I hope not. If they ever did Marvel it would all be MCU based.

I just want Maleficent and the Disney villains to be relevant again. I was always upset that they got sidelined for the sake of those stupid anime villain OCs.
