More and more spinoffs and remake that all try´d to add something to a story that should have stayd simple.
Its a thing you see with alot of Anime. They start out with a simple premise and clear character motivation and get bloated to be these super complicated shitshows becouse the creators don´t know how to tell a story.
Dylan Flores
>Osaka team. No it won't if 0.2 is any indication. Floaty as fuck.
Parker Robinson
1 is the best. Kingdom Hearts is nothing without a simple and vague story. It has a forlorn / lonely soul or something atmosphere
Mason Cruz
Nothing. The story has only gotten more fun. The more retarded KH is the better.
Jason Evans
>muh osaka team
Connor Hall
>KH has great gameplay Haha, good one. I'll try to remember that.
Aiden Morales
except CoM came between 1 and 2 and then DDD and coded happens between 2 and 3 while BBS happens before any of them and X happening before everything which explains everything there are no side games/spin offs
Jack Hall
0.2 was pretty shit, he has every right to hate on them.
Dylan Allen
Play the fucking spin-offs. I hate these fucking retards that only play the numbered games and bitch when nobody spoonfeeds them the plot they missed.
Wyatt Cooper
It wasn't
Noah Cook
Yes it was. Shit magic with boring properties, no combo modifiers, cancerous bosses (besides 1 optional), shit Critical mode, floaty physics. Its barely above BBS/DDD tier.
Chase Russell
Tied with the Tales series for best Arpg combat of all time
Luke Diaz
instead of expanding on the backstory of the series, they ended up expanding on the overall story without offering any real conclusions in the meanwhile.
Lincoln Barnes
>How to spot a faggot in one post or less.
Ryan King
>Its a thing you see with alot of Anime. this
Easton Cook
Tales of has significantly less strategy and depth in its combat compared to KH. It does. I would argue that KH II FM has some of the best action combat of any video game out there. Its extremely fast and fluid, offers the player a lot of control, and, despite being a jrpg, is so well balanced you can beat it at level 1 without any tedium. The games are completely fair and almost devoid of RNG.
Nicholas Reyes
Except Birth by sleep and chains of memories you don´t really need to play any of them to get the picture.
Hell, 2 was better if you DIDN´T play Com becouse you had the same information sora had when he woke up and didn´t get into the game with millions of lose ends to make sense of.
Aaron Gray
>Hell, 2 was better if you DIDN´T play Com No it wasn't
Tyler Sanders
>Sora and Riku are apparently teenagers >Kairi looks like she's 8 years old Explain this.
Xavier Mitchell
KH2 is an EXCEPTION though. It's a little silly to generalize the whole series as having good gameplay when most of them are shit.
Connor Watson
Everything was fine up to this point.
Camden Foster
>pressing a reaction button and floating around is "more depth" and strategy than Tales combat Whatever you say, user. You're the fan, not me.
Birth by Sleep ruining the series. It introduced an unnecessary backstory with unnecessary characters that have zero personality. Xehanort was a stupid idea. The Keyblade War was a stupid idea.
Remember in KH1 when you thought how cool it was that Sora was the chosen one? Remember when the Keyblade CHOSE Sora over Riku making it seem like the Keyblade kinda had a mind of its own? Lol nope, it was just some shitty "Keyblade Inheritance Ritual". How fucking lame.
Juan Rogers
what do you mean? That was the high point, it was obvious as fuck the series was gonna go full on sports shonen with campy as fuck superpowers
I laughed my ass off at gate of bootylon
Levi Morales
Longtime Talesfag here, don't make me go into detail on how braindead and exploitable every game in the series can be. None of them are anywhere near KH2FM on Critical. Not to mention trivialized by grinding whereas boss fights in 2FM can wreck your shit even at max level
Jose Wilson
He didn't get the inheritance ceremony performed on him
Oliver Miller
While you are right about what you're saying, KH still isn't really that complicated. It's just overblown and drawn out over multiple fucking systems no less.
William Gutierrez
Fair enough. Combat looks way better than what I remember from KH2. I still don't think it's great combat, but it's not nearly as bad as I thought. >Tales has braindead combat Stop playing on the lowest difficulty.
Jaxson Reyes
>Terra >zero personality >implying Master Xehanort isn't the best Xehanort Name one (1) scene in KH more hype than this: youtu.be/VsjHhNdILyA?t=8m2s 8:00
Luis Howard
All KH is floaty
Aaron Barnes
>what the FUCK went wrong with this series? the first game
Charles Martin
Not him but all the games are on one system finally.
Liam Diaz
the plot was fucked from the start. Don't forget the last hour or two of the game which made no fucking sense
Hudson Jones
Oh yeah, you're right now that the remasters exist. I played both remixes for the ps3 but couldn't be fucking arsed to buy all that other shit and do it, even though I had all the systems. I wanted to do BBS but the combat was too fucked for me and I just dropped it. Kept losing to the first tree boss in Snow White. What the fuck? I was coming fresh off of just beating 1 and 2 in a row, guess it's just because those were the only ones I was really familiar with from back in the day.
Aiden Hernandez
>BBS >Not one of the better games in the series
Hudson Young
Were you playing on Critical? BBS is generally easier than the other games since you can exploit surge attacks and dodges have infinite i-frames. The game isn't balanced for critical though and anyone playing it is recommended to just play Proud.
Nathan Peterson
Typing in caps doesn't make it sound more convoluted
Nolan Perez
Never post in any of my threads ever fucking again.
Grayson Robinson
No, I was playing it on normal and felt like a retard. I'm 27 and have never played any of them except for the first 2 on PS2 so I don't know if that has something to do with it. I wanted to complete Birth By Sleep for the story of those characters though, and I couldn't do it back when I had a PSP because this guy I know "borrowed" it or "lost" it or whatever the fuck. I just felt like I couldn't get the combat. It could be because I'm just older.
Sadly you posted the 2 best games which came out YEARS ago.
Everything is garbage Graces combat now.
Brayden Myers
Kingdom Hearts 2 finished the story, so they made a bunch of handheld spinoffs to establish a new overarching threat to justify a third game, when they could have just made the third game.
Isaac Sanders
Is this bait? Those are combo videos, they have nothing to do with being "braindead" or not. You can get more damage and hitstun than any of those flashy combos by spamming Tidal Wave (or maybe Negative Pain if it's a single target) in Vesperia, or Final Gale, or become invincible with Estelle and Repede, and Guy was so broken in Abyss that they had to nerf him in the US release (where he is still broken), and Free Run in general makes that game a joke.
Carter Walker
>what I remember >using your memory from your childhood to talk about its battle system
how about you do a critical run in KH2 Final Mix and the extra bosses and then come back here
Brandon Allen
Relax, he admitted he was wrong already
Grayson Jones
I think my memory of the game's combat is pretty good, because I played it about 2 years back. I dropped the series because I didn't care for the story or combat. The only reason I even picked it up was because everyone around me said I should "play this amazing game".
I already have KH2 on the PS3. I'm not willing to shelve out money for a port of a game I didn't enjoy.
Jackson Parker
Kingdom Hearts is retarded as fuck, deal with it, mango. Despite being a retarded mess it's a fucking ride.
Gavin Perez
Terra was unironically the best part of BBS. It was a thrill watching him go to other worlds and fucking all sorts of shit up for both himself and disney characters. I still laugh whenever I remember that his main objective in Neverland was beating the shit out of Peter Pan because a pirate told him to. Also his final boss is kino and the pinnacle of hype moments in the KH franchise.
Thomas Barnes
Yeah, there's just a certain something about the first game. I realized that around the time KH II released if not earlier.
Dylan Perry
How in the flying fuck does that zipper on Donald's hat work?
Jacob Reyes
.2 mechanics were fine the bosses were just trash.
Justin Morgan
It's a magic zipper.
Elijah Green
> Kingdom Hearts 3 is about a teenage boy trying to keep his friends safe
Look, I can strawman too!
Aaron Miller
This can't be real.
This fucking anime, man.
Josiah Jenkins
>spawn onaholes anywhere This has to be hentai, right?
William Wilson
Shitpost all you want, any franchise that introduces time travel late into the overarching plot is too far gone.
Brandon Myers
You mean in the 3rd game in a 8 game series?
Landon Morgan
It's a wild ride that's a lot of fun and goes all over the place. The games would suffer greatly if they just had a boring disney film plot.
Jayden Sanchez
>what the FUCK went wrong with this series? Nothing. It gets better and better.
Josiah Young
BBS and 3D are not considered spinoffs by Nomura.
Wyatt Garcia
Story still has me invested, and the dumb shit is at least entertaining.
Leo Williams
Not all the handheld games are spinoffs. BbS is KH Zero.
Easton Cruz
Worse, it's ecchi.
Easton Sanchez
>Combat looks way better than what I remember from KH2 That's because KH never has this level of combat unless you're doing critical runs on the most recent release of the game, and even then this is mostly late or post-game stuff.
The majority of the game and the version of it most people actually played doesn't reach these peaks, which is why a lot of fans hanging around these threads will tell you if you haven't 100%ed the final mix versions on a level one critical mode run you can't judge the games. It does have a deep and exciting combat system but it barely takes advantage of it and the amount of shit you have to sit through to get to the highlights is barely worth the time.
