Wouldn't that be the exact reason it gets good reviews at all? It was Final Fantasy XIII before Final Fantasy XIII.

The fact that you have to play a bunch of stupid handheld games to get the story is what really should be getting you angry. Kingdom hearts 1 + 2 should be the only thing required.
>>
>>384103276
I agree with this.

I can't be damned to play so many spin off games when there are dozens of other games I want to play from different series and genres. I loves the first two games way back when they were hot. tried two different KH hand held games and they absolutely did not stick.

I will totally give the third game shit if I absolutely have no idea what's happening because I didn't play the shitty side games. they should have been putting all of that work into releasing the third game earlier.

Good. No series should have a naming scheme as retarded as this one.
Now if you excuse me I'll go back to playing Super Mario Bros 3.14159265359.
>>
>>384102072
to be fair, Square Enix shouldn't made us try and get all the console and handhelds just to follow the story. If they were spin offs, it wouldn't matter because you wouldn't missed much since both main games are on the same console

Why do you care if the game gets bad reviews, especially by people who didn't even bother to play the whole series?
I would worry about it getting bad reviews for the game being bad, but then again most sites they gave BBS good scores and the title of best KH yet, so I don't think it will get bad reviews since I don't see it dipping under BBS standards
>>
But 1 and 2 are the only other good ones. And it makes sense too. You shouldn't have to bother with all the other bullshit. You've got Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts 2, and now Kingdom Hearts 3. Fuck your 2.6 and a half multiplied by 82.

It'll get bad reviews cause it's a fucking Musou game now.
>>
>>384102072
It's very well established that pretty much all the games are essential to understanding KH at this point.

The story never really mattered though so I don't see any reason for complaints.
It's the most basic kind of children's take there is, a boy on an adventure fighting bad guys, light vs dark.
You don't really need the specifics to "get" KH, that stuff is for lorefags.
The game was literally pitched in an elevator after all, the story is just an excuse for Disney and FF characters to interact with Nomura's OC.

The problem is unnecessarily expanding the series across multiple handhelds. It does not matter anymore though since everything is now on the PS4. It was a stupid move that made me stop caring about kingdom hearts.

The story and gameplay of KHIII at minimum require Birth by Sleep and Dream Drop Distance to still have happened.

I don't even care if the reviews are shit I just want to get an ending to the story. And I want to see if Xion gets saved. I didn't really like 358 at all gameplay wise, but the story kind of fucked me up when I played it like 8 years ago. That's one of the worst fates I think any vidya character has had to suffer.

No, because it is a numbered installment that excpects you played the previous numbered installments. It doesn't give a shit if you played Metal Gear Ac!d, Metal Gear Rising or any of the spinoffs. Hell, you could go into it only playing Metal Gear Solid 3 and still do fine.

Yes anon, they would be able to develop and release Kingdom Hearts III only two years after KHII.

I bet it would have been on PS3 as well? So the team would OBVIOUSLY learn how to competently code for CELL within that same two years, and everything would work flawlessly and the game would be perfect and look great.

In two years.
On brand new hardware.
In a brand new engine.
With brand new architecture.

Never mind the fact that in 2007, Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix was released, so they would have done it with a small team as well!
Easy!

Birth by Sleep is critical to KHIII's story, and was teased in KHII and FM's secret endings.
They could probably fit in that during those two years as well, even though BbS's dev cycle was five years long taking it to a 2010 release.

KHIII literally would not be happening without those games.
Terra, Aqua and Ventus are an important part of the story and will return in KHIII as major characters.
The True Organization introduced in DDD was a major turn in the story and the entire premise of KHIII's antagonist.

Stuffing all of this into just one game would be incredibly sloppy at best.

They were able to develop KH2 in 3 years. They could develop KH3 in 3 years as well.

Just like how the team had to learn how to code for the PS2.

>Never mind the fact that in 2007, Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix was released, so they would have done it with a small team as well!
See above. Chain of Memories exists and came out a year prior to 2.

>Birth by Sleep is critical to KHIII's story, and was teased in KHII and FM's secret endings.
BBS could have been incorporated into KH3.

There's no excuse, Nomura is just a hack writer.
>>
>>384105274
Won't matter for me. I'm done with it after 3. I felt really burned out on the series by the time DDD came out, so I'm just going to play this one for at least some small manner of closure on it. I just hope Nomura isn't a giant nigger and decides to sequel bait by leaving out some important things like leaving Aqua in the dark world.

And your point about the PS3 is retarded because instead of having to learn how to program the game for the PS3, they've had to learn how to do it for the PS4, though the latter is an easier platform for developers.
>BbS is required for the story
Like another anon said, there really isn't that much in Birth by Sleep that is absolutely required knowledge.
But keep on defending an incompetent dev team, I'm sure Nomura will include you in the Final Mix of Kingdom Hearts III

The actual reason for why we are stuck with FPS hell for so long might surprise you, it was because those games appeal to even the dumbest normies and sell like hotcakes.
Do you seriously think that all those normies that only know and play CoD, the yearly installment of Fifa and maybe Grand Theft Auto actually read reviews for them?

Nomura confirmed the handheld games are spinoffs. If you can read Japanese, you might have noticed the word he used in the pictured interview. It's "supinofu." "Spin-off." In English. He borrowed the English word "spin-off" to describe these games. The handheld Kingdom Hearts games are officially considered spin-offs.

I don't mind the weapon forms, what I don't like is that forms were reduced to 0.2 command styles and that you can only access them one at a time depending on your keyblade, also they look just like the Riku command styles from DDD that no one ever used because they were awful

That's a fair reason. There are risks in making your games less accessible and more esoteric. It's not going to appeal to an audience as large.

>>384106278
KHIII uses Shotlock, and the Keyblade transformations are an evolved Command Style system. That's BbS's influence.
KHIII also uses Flowmotion, and Attraction Flow, evolving systems introduced in DDD.

Otherwise, the only new addition drawing from KHII directly is Situation Commands.
So without BbS and DDD, KHIII would just be KHII: Second Verse Same as the First.

All of what we've seen if KHIII is pointing to a very straightforward story.
It's just Sora and everyone else preparing for their final battle.
Even if you haven't played every title not being able to follow one game is dumb.

KH is like Star wars, you can watch any trilogy or even movie out of context and understand the plot, but going out of your way to see everything is something you only do if you like its world and want to see more.
Of all the KH games only the mainlines are essential, everything else might as well not exist.

>I don't think you grasp how different the PS3 is to the PS2 compared to the difference between PS2 and PS1.
The amount of difference is irrelevant. Hardware architecture and specs varied wildly and devs were always forced to adapt to the new console architectures. The PS1 was wildly different from the SNES, yet Square made that jump just fine.

>And was developed by Jupiter, a third-party development studio. Not the KHII team.
It was directed by Nomura and is integral to KH2. Trying to handwave it away by saying "but it was made by Jupiter!" doesn't fly here.

>Not really, no.
Yes, it could have. Nomura could have pulled the same thing with KH3 as he did with KH2: an hours-long intro with different characters. Or hey, maybe KH3 could have been BBS and DDD as one game!

They are side games. They're not main high budget console games.

>>384106630
The first 2 games focus on the main storyline surrounding sora, they are also dense with info (especially 2).
All the other games were side-stories that added little to the mainline in terms of content.
>>
>>384102072
If it's as bad as 2 was with its inane retarded story, then I hope it gets reviewed poorly.

Sadly it'simpossible for it to be reviewed as such. Regardless of how many Donut Steels take character spots away from FF or Disney, how batshit stupid the story is, or how the game plays, it's going to he rated highly. It's a big name game with Disney and SE behind it. Reviewers will be too scared to rate it poorly even if it deserves it.

Only thing I'd like to see in it other than ditching the whole Organization shit is Zootopia and FFIX representation.

The whole argument was that KHIII could have released in 2007, two years after KHII.

CoM was released quickly before KHII, yes, but it was outsourced to a completely different team, with its development running concurrently with KHII's.

It's simply unreasonable to have believed KHIII for a 2007 release. It was never going to happen no matter what they did.

Trying to compile BbS and DDD into the same game as KHIII would make it even more impossible.

Your analogy is shitty as fuck, bro.
If the last GOT novel was in print form, and the first and second were 10 episodes of a television series, then a direct-to-video release, and then a 3-episode web series? Then you'd come close to how fucking retardedly spun around and stretched KH has gotten.

In one console gen, we had two spin-off games with important plot points released on competing handheld consoles, and another released on mobile phones - but only in Japan, at the time.

No, the argument was that KH3 could have released in 2008, and I said in my initial post that 2 years was short.

Even 2008 wasn't going to happen.

Facts:
Birth by Sleep had already started development in 2005
BbS was announced alongside Days and coded in 2007
The KHII team was split working on Versus XIII and KHIIFM until FM's release in 2007
Nomura said in an interview after KHII that he wanted to give Sora a "break" and focus on other characters for the next game(s)

The KHIII we're getting right now was impossible in 2008.

Why do people rag on KH for having an over the top plot? A lot of games/series have over the top plots, but people don't rag on them for it, or at least not as much as KH in comparison if it does happen. And in the end, it's not like the games themselves don't have other things going for them.

I'm not even going to judge on the game's graphics and combat until release, the game still has another 1-2 years and 0.2 showed us that they're able to change shit around within weeks apart. So far it looks great, the combos look faster than the orchestra trailer but we still need to see more limits and summons.

Too be fair, all the worlds do look incredibly big. I simply can't gauge just how large the Toy Story world will be, especially considering the streets.

The worlds from the other games simply won't be able to compare, especially when worlds like Wonderland in KH1 are like, 4-5 rooms.

So what? The gameplay is essentially the same all throughout. None of the games experienced dramatic changes in gameplay or story direction that would make the spin-offs a problem.

Did you miss the part where Nomura himself had said those games are spin-offs?

Nomura considers them spin-offs because they focus on different characters or feature variant gameplay from the numbered titles.

THAT is the rub.

It would have been ideal if they could have implemented that gameplay system for 358/2 instead of an unnecessary game

It's basically the KHII of Command Deck games.

Fast and frenetic action where commands are universally useful and flow easily into and out of combos.
TONS of customization options to tailor your gameplay experience, including the ability to do things like replaying world episodes on a 1HP challenge run.

Even mid-battle you can get a custom experience through the Clock gauge, which modifies your Keyblade's abilities in real time during the fight. It makes your Keyblades more meaningful than just swapping out for a higher ATK stat.

Solid story with great pacing and writing on par with CoM's. If you're the sort of person that laments Maleficent's Team Rocket-fication in KHII, or wish for more meaningful Disney inclusion, Re:coded is up your alley.

>>384109684

As it should be. If all of the games were supposed to be relevant to the overarching story and mandatory to understand, they should've been numbered sequentially. There is no reason to have a 12 year gap between the second and third game, yet release 23 different spin off titles. The HD re-release helps, but it's retarded that it's necessary at all.

Almost all the Zelda games are self contained, though. A few (Zelda 2, MM, PH) directly occur after another game, but even the story in those games ends. The overall Zelda/Link/usuall Ganon bullshit happens in almost every game, but it's not "dragged out" because that particular version of the story is concluded by the end of the game.

Growing up with these games, I did. Back then it's all I had to compare it to. Now with alot of games under my belt, the game is laughable at best. It's unfortunate though, what made kingdom hearts special was its charm but with its plot getting messier by every entry (special fuck you to time travel), that charm has died out. Admittedly, the gameplay was fun as fuck (not command styles tho). It will be an inevitable disappointment to most people who want to get those goosebumps like they did with 1 and 2. I just can't fucking wait until this xehanort saga ends, a fresh start is all this series needs.

Nothing was planned from the beginning.

KH1 was made fully expecting it to never have a sequel. If you're gonna pull that fallacious nonsense, not even KHII matters because it wasn't planned from the beginning.

BbS had concepts being thought up as early as KHII's development, as evidenced by The Gathering.

BbS and coded were announced together in 2007.

>Sora's powers away for some bullshit reason.
Sora almost died and the process of coming back neutered his power level. He was asked to "start over" on an academic level because he's never had formal training until now.
>>
>>384113393
The lore of those games are most definitely a clusterfuck of stupid shit, they have jumped the shark multiple times.
>>
>>384113450
It felt so forced and contrived because they needed to do it for gameplay reasons, and it showed.
>>
>>384113372
It is a sequel of 2 because ReCoded and DDD were teased in 2, so was BBS
>>
>>384113516
Considering the sick shit we can do in KH3 I'd say it's worth.
>>
>>384113463
because you arent playing the games it feels like jumping the shark if you reread the plot in wikipedia
>>
>>384113372
And 2 was not the actual sequel of 1
>>
>>384113837
That is what they tried to tell me about zero escape 3, that game was just as retarded as it sounded
>>
>>384113372
Literally not our fault that you (to compare to Harry Potter) effectively only want to read Chamber of Secrets, Goblet of Fire and Deathly Hollows because you see the rest as fluff.

If Kingdom Hearts 3 is a good game it will explain what you need to know. That said, I'm not holding much hope.

I still don't get how they could screw up KH2 like that. How can you establish a mystery at the start of the game and not expect players to be curious about it? Was it too much to ask for a scene in Yen Sid's tower along the lines of
>hey, we just woke up in Twilight Town and we can't remember what happened after the first game. Do you have some answers for us?
>Oh, after you defeated Ansem a subgroup of Organization XIII messed with your memories to make you their slave. You defeated them and ever since Riku and the King have been working on restoring you.
it's not fucking rocket science.

>the quality of the game depends on how much it caters to casuals that didn't play the other games

Also Yen Sid wouldn't know why Sora was in Twilight Town. He wasn't involved with that at all.

Riku said "Pls don't tell Sora I helped him :c"
>>
>>384114159
DiZ refers to Sora's memories being fixed during the KH2 prologue repeatedly and the opening CGI is a montage of CoM's events.

>People actually play these games for the story
lmao, it's the most autistic thing ever conceived.
>>
>have to play kh1 to fully understand kh2
what a shit game
>>
>>384114439
and CoM...And 358/2...and BBS...
>>
>>384102072
It's going to get bad reviews because Osaka team can't make a game with good combat.
>>
>>384114501
Huh, what event in 2 relates to BBS except for the optional boss, CoM is explained in the prologue and 358/2 is just filler trash anyway
>>
>>384114501
No you only need CoM.

Days is completely irrelevant on top of being released AFTER KHII, and BbS is after KHII as well.
>>
>>384109319
It's one of the best games in the series.

The gameplay is great and the writing is surprisingly decent.
>>
>>384113894
2 at least only had one game that preceded it
3 has a gajillion games

>Kh -> Kh2
>One major game in between
>Easily explained in the prologue of Kh2

>Kh2 - > KH3
>Three major games in between
>BBS
>prequel explaining Xehanort's raison d'etre
>second major game still needed to explain the 13 Xehanort plot
>3rd major game explains Sora's powering down
How are they going to explain everything in between?
>>
>>384114637
Actually it will get good reviews just like BBS and DDD because reviews are paid shills. Also KHFags will defend it.

I already am hating how the game is looking. It looks like the same floaty garbage in the Team Osaka games with some KH2 elements here and there superficially added in.

It looks like a shitty Platinum/Bayonetta game at this point with it's over the top cutscene-style flashiness
>>
>>384115850
>How are they going to explain everything in between?
I dunno man

I mean, they COULD rerelease all those games on the same system as KHIII, making it incredibly easy to catch up...

But that probably won't happen.

probably because sub-85 on metacritic will make it absolutely impossible to discuss on /v/ due to shitposting
