Was thinking of getting this but the demo turned me away. Hide & Dance! remains the GOAT rhythm game of 2020.

Already SSS every song on beginner, standard and on proud I'm only missing Wave of Darkness SSS.
I feel like getting used to the controls wasn't that hard for me, as soon as I got the buttons I have to press into my brain I started to be able to focus on the track at hand and it became very fun and addicting, I keep booting it up trying to get that SSS or a all excelent run.

Nice! As for me, I'm sure I'll adjust to the controls if I keep playing. Part of me doesn't want to put all my energy in the demo since none of our progress carries over to the full game. If I can play IIDX, I can play this!
I'm glad they made a demo, because I could never figure out how the controls would be and feel like based on the gameplay videos. And gee-by-golly, they work great. Really anticipating this now. I always wanted a Theatrhythm Kingdom Hearts game, and this is absolutely that.
I also spent ten minutes listening to the jazz piano Dearly Beloved at the top menu. It fills me with joy to my very foundations.

At first I was kinda shocked by the price and then they announced just how many songs are in this and others pointed out how little is in most other Japanese rhythm games so I conceded that $60 is pretty fair. Plus now playing it I know I'm gonna sink a shit ton of hours into it.
My favorite part of the demo is realizing that they've kept the sublime completion bars from the Theatrhythm games. Love that shit.
I'm having a lot of fun with the demo but my one problem is that the controls are kind of confusing. My mind keeps wanting to press like, Y for Donald on the left and A for Goofy on the right. The whole dynamic of "A, L, or R do the same thing, but you have to press a combination of 2 or 3 when there's 2 or 3 hits at once" is kind of overwhelming and part of me thinks it would be simpler if there was an assigned button for each.
I got an A+++ on Wonderland I'm Proud plus Performer and so I thought "hey maybe I can do this." They very next song destroyed me lol. Fuck it I don't think I can do Performer. Pressing the analog and face buttons AND shoulder buttons simultaneously is ridiculously hard.
I agree, but it totally feels like one of those things that just become second nature after a few hours.
Glad I'm not alone, and I'm sure you're right that I'll get used to it. This demo has got me incredibly excited for the full product, I've already spent several hours trying to get AAA+ on every track multiple times and only have missed it on the track from 0.2. Very tempted to even get this day one, despite my huge backlog!
Do we now at all if there will be a continuous story being told throughout the game? I know it'll be crucial to the next game but I wonder how much sorry is actually here.
MoM is certainly a unique rhythm game, but it really scratched the Theatrhythm itch (port those games, Square!), along with my love for the pre-Unreal Engine Kingdom Hearts character models -- the game feels like it'll be a nostalgic love-letter send-off for the Xehanort saga.
I definitely need more practice and time to experiment, lol. I still keep alternating between L1 (Donald), X (Sora), R1 (Goofy), and then just purely alternating between L1 and R1 as needed. I've been playing the demo on PS4, but I'll check it out on the Switch, as well.
I think Performer mode is beyond me, though, even on Beginner. Having to quickly read what input is required against the bright pink is a lot to juggle. Many kudos for those who manage it, especially on Proud!

Finding this surprisingly fun! I love Kingdom Hearts, but I'm not really big on rhythm games, I like them just fine so I wasn't entirely sure I was gonna like this. The tutorial made me think I might find it annoying but turns out, it's pretty fun and not that difficult. Just a wee bit disappointed with the demo cause I wanted more songs but hey, four (right?) is fine and I'm even more sure now that I'll be getting this day one.
Unrelated to the actual gameplay, but hearing Dearly Beloved's jazzy new remix playing from my Switch's speakers filled me with an inexplicable amount of joy. It really feels perfect for the Switch.

Yes there will be, but in interviews, nomura has stated the story here is nothing big or very important to the series going forward and more of a throwback to what has happened before if I'm not mistaken.
Controls are pretty bad I'm assuming to facilitate single joycon play. It's very awkward holding a controller the way they want you to. I really wish you could use the dpad in place of one of the shoulder buttons but it only emulates the face buttons which are not the problem. I managed to finish all the songs on Proud but can't say I had a great time. Still preordered though. No stopping this KH train for me it's been part of my life for too long lol
I really hope this is a case of just needing to get used to it for me. I was a Theatrhythm junkie, and I love KH, so this would be a perfect fit. But something about the notes/enemies coming directly at me instead of across the screen makes it more difficult for me to make them out, and I still haven't got a full grasp of the controls. :/ It's kinda killed my buzz. Still, plenty of time to play around with it and see if I get any better.
I know we haven't seen nearly everything but I wish they made a PS2 quality KH3 Sora and stuff since there's KH3 songs and what not. Also thinking about it have we seen KH2 or DDD Sora?
dude they all have really good soundtracks, it's hard to pick the best when they are all so good
Yeah just tried the demo on Switch and if I do get it it definitely won't be on it. It also doesn't seem to run nearly as smoothly as PS4.
Definitely not worth $60 for me.
but it's KH so it might drop in price a few months after release.

Man, not feeling this :(
I love Theaterhythm and basically all music games + KH.
But the #1 most important feature of any music game is note visibility and the note visibility in this game sucks, especially when it gets busy. Also the jump timings are hard to figure out visually since they don't have the circle focus that enemies do.

:( wish there were more than 4 songs. I'm ready for this now.
Also surprised there's no special edition of this game.

I assume by your snarky response, you have an actual answer to that question?
Over 140 songs with 3 charts each and those have variants with performer mode. Not worth 60 tho for some reason LMAOOO
