Im so fucking conflicted. I want to drop the series immediately but I'm so hyped for KH 3. I don't know what to do /v/. I just can't handle the levels of bullshit anymore

when the heart floats away like that then they are fucking dead. Wow didn't expect Nomura to have the balls to kill off anybody in this series besides Riku Replica

>>388154495

>>388154076
The only cool thing about Aqua is that she's overpowered as fuck and does back flips and shit like every other playable protag.

Otherwise shes boring fap bait with a half asleep voice actor. She's not even good fap bait either cus you fags only draw Axel and Roxas eating other out.

>>388156481

>>388157215
I would fuck any of the sqeenix fun bunch from these games tbph

So is he going to be the REAL final boss of KH or something? I don't even know what the fuck is going on anymore. Why couldn't they just stick to what they outlined in the first game instead of going full retard with the story and characters?

>>388156426
>>388156729
KH Time travel requires that you already be present at the time you're trying to go to.
Traveling back in time requires not having a body, being a Heartless counts, but then you can give your past selves the ability to go forward in time.
If you go forward in time you eventually have to go back to the past and lose all memories of the future but will be influenced to make decisions that will lead to that future.

So no, going outside of the dimension to wait is nothing like KH's normal crazy ass time travel bullshit.

>>388156729
Blaine confirmed for Soranort

Anybody else not shocked at all by Strelitzia getting killed so suddenly and unexpectedly? I mean we're dealing with Nomura here the same man who came up with killing Aerith

>>388157215
Her.

I'm working my way through a marathon of the series and I'm on BbS at the moment

Is Braig supposed to be kicking my ass? I'm on Proud mode, Terra's route in Radiant Garden, I'm only level 12 and I can barely even damage him.

>>388157891

>>388158047
You're underleved anon. You should be at least level 20 by then

How important is Union X for the general story? Am I missing out on skipping on that or is Squeenix yet again putting canon lore in phone games?

>>388158215
RIP me

Thanks for the head's up anon

>>388158047
Level curves in BBS are weird, if you're not atleast at the needed level, enemies will take almost no damage and likely one shot you.

Also human bosses in BBS are the absolute worst in the series. The entire battle system is against you.

>>388158328

Nah, Braig is just Xehanort's and Eraqus' master. MoM is too kind to be Braig.

>>388158754
The sad thing is they are making the whole game "main game" sure there will be missions with no story but down the line i'm pretty sure you have to go through a lot like 700 ish missions are currently out. If you want you can actually skip the game and just watch gameplay and do some research time in and time out. That what i'm doing and i got basically the whole story with some minor gaps

>>388153703

So is your player still in the future in Union X? Cause in the ending to Chi it's revealed that you actually lived through the Keyblade War but literally everybody else is dead and you somehow end up in Enchanted Dominion in the present time because Malificent mentions Sora

>>388160132
They're part of a group of Keyblade Wielders sent to another dimension to wait out the Keyblade War.
It's a weird plot twist that came out of nowhere but it's not actually hard to understand.

>>388153703
How the fuck do you keep up with all this shit? It's obvious Nomura has just been making stuff up as he's gone along since KH2.

>>388154076
>strong female character done right
>biggest mary sue in a series of mary sues

>>388160548
Nah she's dead bro. Eraqus would be dead to but Terra was there when his body faded away and his heart went to Terra's body. Nobody was around to retrieve Strelitzia heart so she's dead

so how do the people from before the keyblade war know what the heartless are but Aqua doesn't?

>>388160628
5 masters each train a group of key blade wielder
master of master said "one shall be evil"
the masters start fighting each other to find out whos evil
one group is told to hide out the keyblade war
keyblade war happens
group stays hidden

Lol. KH is confirmed to go past 3. 3 is just the end of the Dark Seeker/Xehanort saga.

I had no problem with the games being spread over different platforms, but a phone or webgame or whatever this is being this relevant is too much.

He's all but confirmed to be a part of True Organization XIII at this point. He's a Riku that can actually be Xehanort'd, unlike the real Riku with his darkness resistance.

It's canon. It shows what happened before and the aftermath of the Keyblade War and somehow, Ven and Marluxia were alive during the Keyblade War even though the event takes place hundreds of years before the events of KH Birth by Sleep. This is CRUCIAL story and character development but Nomura decides to put all this fucking important shit on a fucking phone game. Why? I have no idea other than him just being a massive fucking troll

the "movie" bundled with 2.8 explains literally nothing, so you're gonna have to either play the mobile game, watch the cutscenes or read an analysis.

>>388162502
Both desu

There's alot more to the story than that, its just a few of the cutscenes made into HD meant to tantalize you to download the game.

You can also just watch all the cutscenes on youtube

>>388162476
Ok, gonna give it a watch later, thanks.

>>388162545
So i should still play the game? Well, i can do both then, i guess.

>>388162661
Yes

>>388162661

Do both if you want the whole story. The movie is not a summary of the game. It's supplementary material that takes place during "season 1" of the game. "Season 2" of the game is ongoing.

>>388162208
Is it the same replica from CoM or did they make another one?

>>388162661
The HD movie doesn't necessarily explain everything going on at the time, but does a decent job.

If you want to see every cutscene >>388159904 has them all

>>388162548
I watched it. I just want to know if the movie would me enough to understand all the shit that happens in the games

>Nobody was around

Teehee

>>388160604
Maleficent mentions Sora, saying that even he can't meddle with the world she's in.

The implication is that she discovered the Realm of Sleep.
Real time doesn't flow there, so someone could theoretically use the RoS as a time capsule to preserve themselves into the future.

It really is too fucking stupid, we barely had any time to get to know her and the only pain her death causes is that she could've been a much more developed character but no we probably won't ever get to see her again.
Way to introduce a character through a whole chapter only to have them get killed on the beginning of the next.

>>388164038
I know this is probably bait but the latter pronunciation is how the characters say his name in the voiced cutscenes. I hope you don't pronounce Xion as Zion.

Xion literally stole Namine's spot in Roxas' backstory.

>>388164424
I guess Nomura could've used Namine instead of Xion, but she was "busy" in CoM, so he had to create another girl that would fill the role of "the girl that made Roxas leave Organization".

Well, I guess Nomura also couldn't use Namine because of their first meeting in KH2 prologue. Unless you add some amnesia to Namine or something, it would've been an obvious plothole.

>>388165189
I dunno - the only thing Nomura had in mind was "a girl of the same age as Roxas":
>-- How did you come up with Xion, who became such a key person in the storyline?
>Nomura: We showed how Roxas left Organization XIII in KH2. At the same time as we were polishing off the KH2 project, we had assumed to a certain extent what Roxas' movements were during the time period when Days happens, and thought that "Roxas definitely left the Organization because of the influence of someone close to him." And, we thought that "someone" should be a girl his own age. Flowing from that, we began to construct the storyline, beginning with Xion's existence.

>>388166034
It's their "first" meeting in KHII because Roxas lost his memories.

I mean, doesn't it strike you as odd how quickly Roxas and Naminé form the strong bond they have at the very end of the game?

It's mostly because of Sora and Kairi (and Sora and Namine). Roxas has zero connection with Kairi or Namine except being Sora's Nobody. Meanwhile, Sora made a promise with both Kairi and Namine, so Roxas made a bond with Namine only thanks to Sora's promise and by being a Nobody, just like Namine.

She couldn't save Ventus or Terra, it's up to Sora to save them and everyone else that's missing or hurting. She couldn't get out of the Realm of Darkness for over a decade, something the other characters did pretty quickly. And while she was gone a couple of kids with no formal training took her job and saved the universe several times and did so with greater efficiency then her while she sits around waiting to be saved. Overpowered? gimmie a break. If anything she looks a bit incompetent and will owe Sora several favors after he finally saves the day.

Because she was sacrificing herself for others, since she's too good for the sinful world.

Anon plz, you know full well that once she shows up Riku and Sora will transform into retards so she can look good. She'll save Riku when he comes to save her, not the other way around. She's Nomura's waifu and if the ending of 0.2 is any indication he will never allow her to look bad.

I'm actually legit kinda mad. Of all series, I never expected Nomura to pull a shock value death in Kingdom Hearts. This isn't the right direction KH needs to be headed. Creating a character only to kill them shortly is so cheap. Did Nomura not feel that Marluxia being around during the Keyblade War was shocking enough? Because that's fucking huge on its own. There was literally no reason to kill Strelitzia other than to pull double shock value plot twists. Strelitzia's death was handled so poorly.

I love Nomura don't be get me wrong and KH is my all time favorite series but this was just retarded and only happened to generate buzz.

This is KH. You saw her heart take off so she's either going to end up in some other character or as a stepping stone so Pinky can pretend to wield a keyblade (Because you know he's faking).

As long as you have the basics down, shit like this is nothing, there being a traitor and Marluxia's somebody being one of the leaders are simply new pieces of one big puzzle, that's already been built up, though for now there's barely any pieces they can connect to since we lack information as to what they will do at the moment

You know when the body fades and the heart floats to the sky that means they're 100% dead right? Like dead as in there is no coming back. Chi confirmed what death is in the KH universe. When the Keyblade wielders were fighting in the Keyblade War you saw their hearts floating to the sky and their body vanishes, only leaving behind their Keyblade (hence the name Keyblade GRAVEYARD).

Only way they have a chance of being revived is if their heart finds refuge in another person as their body fades way (Eraqus, which is why Xehanort told Terra that Eraqus has set foot in Terra's heart)

I gotta agree. I 100% thought she was gonna die (you don't have a name that means "bright future" and survive), but just "here she is, and now she's gone" really just screamed cheap drama to me.

I mean our canon teammates are all gonna die anyway so why not use them for shocking death.

>Strelitzia dies
wow, what a dramatic twist to kill off a character we've known for like a week. brilliant writing as always, Nomura

>>388167958
>Not her fault. Maybe if she did something that caused them to end up fucked, but she didn't.
You called her overpowered. Even with friends helping her she failed to stop Xehanort's schemes and she wasn't strong enough to properly deal with Terranort. Even though she's supposedly overpowered she couldn't save herself and one other person and by saving the super villain she doomed Radiant Garden and set the rest of the series' chaos in motion. But aside from not being strong enough she botched almost every conversation she had with Terra and Ventus, making them more and more upset and alienated.
>Because she was sacrificing herself for others, since she's too good for the sinful world.
Sora sacrificed himself to save Kairi by stabbing a keyblade into his chest, Aqua isn't special for being heroic in a game about superheroes. The other characters save each other all the time but they don't become stranded for over a decade after doing so. If she was an overpowered mary sue she wouldn't need to be saved.
>She'll save Riku when he comes to save her, not the other way around. She's Nomura's waifu and if the ending of 0.2 is any indication he will never allow her to look bad.
Nah. Recoded and Dream Drop Distance both set up as Sora as the chosen one who will save all of the missing and hurting people, this includes Aqua. Riku might be searching for her but Sora is the linchpin of the entire operation and who everyone relies on. Everything and everyone revolves around Sora, Aqua is an afterthought that Yensid decides to put some time into after a decade.

I like Aqua but she's incompetent and hasn't done much. Xehanort ran circles around her and now she waits to be saved. How anyone can call her a mary sue I'll never understand.

>>388170526

I'd like to clarify that type of death is only when you die against a Keyblade wielder. So you can die via other methods, Like getting shot (Barbosa in Port Royal) without the dramatic heart leaving your body moment.

Though Strelitzia dying like that does confirm that she was killed by a wielder so that removes the possibility that a non-wielder killed her (i.e. it wasn't an evil Chirithy or a heartless)


Granted she could still come back to life maybe. I mean resurrection isn't unheard of. Nomura did confirm that Maleficent was literally dead, but she had a super secret magic that brings her back to life if you say her name.
I doubt Strelitzia has any such magic but someone bringing her back to life is possible.

Disney villains would tell her that Terra was committing crimes and she'd believe them. This could happen after said villain just tried to kill her and she'd still believe them then poke and prod Terra about it whenever they met. But the only time Terra actually did something truly bad is letting criminals escape jail in Lilo and Stitch world, but that was late in the game and he was a mental wreck at that point.

Aqua was too rigid with her No Darkness Ever policy, which just drove Terra further away from her and into Xehanort's manipulative arms. After Riku was saved from Maleificent/Ansem Sora was completely on board with him using darkness and trusted him fully. If Aqua had even a smidgen of that sort of trust in friends things wouldn't have fallen apart as they did.

Actually the thing with the webm is it doesn't even show if it's actually inconsistent.
The moves that all didn't cause hitstun were the first parts of a combo it could just be that's how those moves work now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1us0KFcrCYM

But in the actual game he's more of just a gullible fool instead of being truly bad. I think Nomura is too scared to give characters any real edge or breakdowns because he doesn't want them to be unlikable. But this just causes them to be overly vanilla.

What do you expect when all she had to do to become a master was hit a bunch of moving balls. They weren't even supposed to be moving, Xehanort did that.

Days is the definition of unnecessarily complex

>>388172532
Yeah they did, I'm not sure how patches work I guess they just replaced the entire fucking opening.

>>388171959
The thing is if the hitstun doesn't work on all first hits that could just be a design choice. So calling it inconsistent is possibly not true. You could say first hit having no hitstun is bad (which could very well be the case) but until we see mid-combo moves fail to hitstun we cannot conclude that it's inconsistent.

Also Osaka went too far in some places especially with BBS secret bosses but overall the game was fine.
I mean they kinda failed to do what they were going for but I get that the lack of revenge value was meant to force players to respect bosses, but at the same time they didn't design the bosses as having to respect the players
Cause Revenge Value doesn't actually encourage respect.
I'll use an analogy to fighting games
Throwing continuous high damage High attacks at opponents, and then doing a fast mid when they crouch is skillful and requires fairly quick inputs, but it's not respectful at all it's especially not respectful if you can loop the player as easy as you can Revenge. Cause eventually the dude might actually learn to sidestep, or to perform a high dodge low attack but the AI never will.

>>388153703

I know. All of the KH sequels are. But at least Days had a nice emotional core to it. Did you even read my reply?

>>388172512
I don't even know if it's that he's really that gullible, but rather that he is often in the wrong place at the wrong time. How come the first character he meets in most worlds is the villain? That's an odd coincidence.

I always wonder what would have happened if, say, Aqua came back to find Eraqus about to kill Ven instead of Terra. Would she have somehow resolved it all peacefully or would it have played out the same? Stuff like that never really happens to her until the end, so I think that's part of why she comes out looking 'better' than the others.

Though one thing people forget is that she helps capture Stitch, and that Ven is the one who frees him again.

>>388172741
In Japan there's a split in how "story" in a game works

Nomura writes the story, which is to say, the plot. Characters and events, basically the outline.

Nojima, Watanabe, Oka, they're scenario writers, or the people that script out the dialogue and details of Nomura's story.

So Nomura typically writes the story.
But with Days, he was primarily a scenario writer, with oversight from Kanemaki and someone else, maybe Watanabe.
Kanemaki was the lead story writer and Nomura gave her that job based on her work with the KH novels.

>"I'm me" he says, must be nice being real, a fake like me could never get away with saying that.
That's right! I'm a phony! A fake! The way I look, the way I feel, everything I remember! Even..this newfound power! I thought that by obtaining some new strength I could finally BE someone! Someone whose not at all you! But nothing changes, I'm still just EMPTY! Everything about me is borrowed! So long as you're around, I'LL NEVER BE MORE THAN A SHADOW!!

Jesus christ, what the hell happened to this dude after parting with Sora, he seemed to have calmed down, then this scene happens. Did they just want to kill the guy off?

>>388172751
I don't consider overblown melodrama to be necessarily emotional
For the characters, I guess
But for me, it's a bit annoying when the entire game seems to be holding up a sign reading "XION'S GONNA DIE AND IT WILL BE SAD OK"

>>388173117
He couldn't escape Riku's shadow. Plus it might have affected Repliku that he knows Sora would choose the real over the fake.
Meaning to Sora his best friend is Riku, and Repliku is just some dude.

>>388173185
I didn't get the Xion death vibe until the end, Days did a good job of distracting me from the obvious plot point.

>>388172997

Thats not only japan, they do it in western too. Tv, Books, games. Thats basic story and writing development.

Nigga she was marked for death before I even popped the cart into my DS

Is Marluxia popular in Japan? It has been decade since his story relevance

>>388173117
He made his peace with Sora because Sora was still willing to forgive him after all the shit he pulled and still willing to be his friend even though he was just a fake version of Riku. That didn't necessarily stop his angst over the real Riku.

>Nomura writes the story, which is to say, the plot. Characters and events, basically the outline.
Which is what I said
>Nojima, Watanabe, Oka, they're scenario writers, or the people that script out the dialogue and details of Nomura's story.
Which is what I said
>Kanemaki was the lead story writer and Nomura gave her that job based on her work with the KH novels.
He still did the same things he did in the previous games and he brought in someone new. Interviews and the game's credits show this. Not sure why this post was needed

>>388173314
I think the terminology is different though, which can cause confusion

>>388173185
No shit, that's every prequel ever. You not being able to immerse yourself in the story and get emotionally invested because you know a character is going to die is your own fault

>>388172573
More gullible than a fuck up. The thing with Princess Aurora wasn't even his fault. He got manipulated, then possessed. And then with Captain Hook, he had no reason to believe they were bad guys since all he saw was people that needed saving (from the unversed). And then with Master Xenanort, he didn't have a reason to mistrust him either because even though it was pure manipulation, Xenanort was the only one who had faith in him. Xenanort even flat out told Terra that darkness is not inherently evil, which is completely true.

>>388173406
As popular as any other unimportant Org member, Nomura does what Nomura wants

>>388173242
To sora there is no real or fake, he should know this by interacting with that moron. dude doesn't give a fuck. That's what's so disgustingly charming about him to other characters and what makes him a magnet for powerful hearts with no where to go. I hate characters like that because those people do not fucking exist in real life and it's giving the audience false hopes and desires that can never be realistically applied to real life. It's stupid, Sora's stupid, Repuliku is stupid, this whole thing is stupid.

Literally no one ever dies in this franchise. Maleficent is somehow still alive even though she "died" a couple of times.

>>388166458
Nomura too cucked to make the top Org traitors female, but too lazy to change the design. Druckmann here baka.

>>388172725
So you sit or wait in this other dimension which time moves slower or not at all to emerge in the normal time line at a later date

I believe we call this time travel

>>388173603
He clearly failed to do that in VS XII

>>388173618
>those people do not fucking exist in real life
Good thing this is a video game you dumb fuck

>>388173598
Darkness IS bad by default though, even Riku everyone's favorite poster boy for using Darkness and Light says his path is to consume the darkness, and turn it back to light

>Pete got sent to the home for infinite losers because he was being annoying and a bit of a trouble-maker.
What the fuck.

>>388173598
>And then with Master Xenanort, he didn't have a reason to mistrust him either because even though it was pure manipulation, Xenanort was the only one who had faith in him.
That and he was introduced to him by fucking Eraqus. I think that's more a fuck up and Eraqus' part than on Terra's.

I still have to play DDD and 0.2
Don't really remember much of BBS.
I feel like just replaying the whole seriees but I don't want to burn out. What do /v/?

Marluxia actually exist before the keyblade wars. Doesn't that make him more important villain than Xehanort who doesn't exist back then(Does he?)?

>>388173828
believe in yourself and follow your dreams :^)

>>388173828
There is no point in understanding BBS story after this mobile game exist

>>388173842
his keyblade which can see

>>388173498
Well the same thing happened with BbS, but I managed to get invested in those characters and feel something when they all reached their respective bad ends.

And with χ[chi], a game that ends in a literal world-ending cataclysmic war, I still cared about Ephemera and Skuld and Player and got kinda misty at the end there.

What I'm saying is that Days goes WAY too hard. The ENTIRE game is this melancholy, overdramatic slog. The pacing and tone are all wrong. How am I supposed to be invested in characters who only have an increasingly worse existence?

You don't get scenes of Roxas, Axel and Xion hanging out or having fun. There's always some amount of tension or distrust, or one of them is missing, or mad at someone else, and even when they ARE all together, they just sit in the same place and eat ice cream.
That's no way to write a friendship, and their forced dialogue about their own friendship is evidence of that.

You get emotionally invested when there are ups and downs. Crying doesn't mean anything if you never got to smile.

Keyblades are sentient and they've been manipulating everyone from the start.

>>388174071
Didn't Bleach do that?

And it was meant to just be a temporary punishment till he straightened out

>>388174071
KEYCHAIN PARASITES

>>388173618
To Sora there was a difference. Like sure he still considers Namine a friend, and even Repliku a friend, but all the same when Sora got to choose "Remember Kairi" vs "Stay with Namine" he chose Kairi.

And all he knew at that point was Kairi is the girl who's place Namine took in my memories.

>>388173828

The inhabitants are the real villains. Forcing me to play their goddamn minigames to progress.

>>388173828
Don't play Osakashit you idiot

>>388174112
That was a filler arc in the anime as I recall
I don't know the details other than the swords having personalities inside them

Because I skip filler arcs

>>388174071
Keyblades do "choose" there owner so this idea wouldn't be far off

>>388173704
Time travel as common parlance usually implies that the a more direct manipulation of time. I mean sure yeah it's time travel, but in the same way that no would really consider an Astronaut who ends up 1 minute younger than he should be a time traveller.

What if this is all a red herring and Marluxia is not the killer? Is that possible?

>>388174049

Play something from the Kingdom Hearts series. But then play a game from a different series afterwards. Keep trading off between this and you'll eventually get through the KH franchise without burning yourself out if you played them all one after another.

>>388174112
Some tend be around alive and kicking while others are made by there masters so who knows

>>388173842
Nah Xehanort has the most important plot detail of all Luxu's Keyblade.

>>388174071
Keyblades actually are alive, but they are extensions of the wielder.

>>388173735
That's where I gotta stop you. Darkness is easily manipulative, not evil. It's just that its easy to do bad things with it than good things because of the urges it can give you. If Darkness was bad by default, then King Mickey would have started off as a bad guy, and he was a good guy for as long as he had a role in the series. The "D" in Kingdom Key-D even stands for "Dark Side"

Is this mobile games characters part of Xehanort saga, meaning everything will get resolved in KH3 or they are set up to be characters of the new saga?

>>388174363
I mean, I did play the browser version from launch to service end, so having those characters around over the course of three years may have had something to do with it.

I mean all told Ephemera probably had like, 20 minutes of screentime, maybe? So obviously the impact can't be that great for a character I've seen so little of.

I'm just saying I got a bigger response from that scene than I did with anything in Days.
I do think it has everything to do with having a good time with the characters.

And Days doesn't let you have a good time. It's a bad time the whole time.

How can something that stops you from ageing and not requiring rest or food be bad?

>>388174335
Clearly it's Ven before MX extracted all his negative emotes. Marluxia was just vaping seasalt ice cream, while Ven was rolling heads. Though, I may be mis-remembering Vanitas' origins.

>>388174459
Kingdom Key D was just a keyblade Mickey looked for to seal the door to darkness though, Star Seeker was always his true keyblade

And Darkness corrodes the hearts of its users, until eventually they go and sell their souls (hearts) to darkness, just because you can use it for good with enough strength and wisdom, doesn't mean it's not an evil power that 9 out of 10 ruins everyone's days

>>388174314
So should we named them time travelers like xenohort or they just did an act of time travel??

>>388174589
Both

Maleficent's story in KHIII is tied up in χ[chi] stuff, and Nomura's basically admitted that he's sowing the seeds for the next story after KHIII.

>>388174656
Well, i thought the dialogue in Days, aside from the exposition-y stuff, was pretty good. It was cool seeing Roxas develop from his personality-less state, and they did have some decent times on the clocktower (planning to go to the beach and shit), but they were kind of indoctrinated into believing everything they experienced was shit because they don't have hearts.

I'm not gunna argue with you about your enjoyment of the story. It's perfectly fine that you didn't get invested and wanted more happy times. But I was already invested in Axel and Roxas, and Xion was compelling and tragic on a conceptual level. Plus, I'm not sure what you were expecting in terms of happy times from a game about people with no hearts and how Roxas got pissed of and left the Org.

>>388174735
Probably just say they were in another dimension. Otherwise people will probably confuse it as them having actual time travel powers.

>>388153703
does sea salt ice cream even taste that good? I don't get why normura is so obsessed with it

>>388175003
salted caramel is a top tier flavor, so I'm sure sea salt ice cream is pretty dope

>>388175003
I've only had caramel sea salt, rather than just plain sea salt, but it was pretty good the sweetness and saltiness go well together

Can someone give a quick summary of what is happening in Union X right now? Is all of this shit in a dream? Who is the edgy leader?

With this happened, Marluxia definitely going to make an appearance as one of the organization member in KH3 right? I take that mean the rest of organizations (9-12) are going to appear too?

>>388175001
Fuck this time B.S what next multiverses ??

Queen Minnie is a tyrant. Disney Town is a facade.

>>388174997
>I'm not sure what you were expecting
I didn't really have any expectations.

But surely we can both agree gluing the trio to the clock tower was a mistake.
I mean, if nothing else, it's fucking boring.

And like, they have nearly an entire year for this story. As it is, things don't really start moving until about day 255, so why do we spend the whole time up to that with this melancholy vibe, why can't they enjoy themselves a little? Go on an adventure?

We can't even get Disney shenanigans because Xemnas forbade them from being seen (which I guess he stops caring about in KHII?).
It's just so lifeless.

KHII Roxas only got seven days, and he still managed to have some fun.

>>388175304
The main character is in a dream world, MoM and Ava ordained that all the Dandelions, and in this case Player who isn't one but got saved from the war were to be put to sleep and made to live in a world were the keyblade war will never happen, along with that Ava chose five of the Dandelions to be the leaders, with one in particular being gifted the Book of Prophecies, two of the characters from chi, and Ven too were revealed to be some of the leaders, but it turns out that one of the real leaders, Strelitzia was murdered and someone took her place, and the book that proves she's one of the leaders with the rules written down, and the new mystery is finding out whodunit
