I laughed harder than I probably should have. This series sure is something, huh?
There are people who think KHX has a story to even be vital to anything.
Rinoa's alt in Dissidia NT is Nomura's way of stealth confirming her for KH3.
when you boot KH3 for the first time
Yeah, one of Rinoa's outfits having plaid in it just seems really random if she's not in KH3. They could've done a recolor inspired by Amano's design but no - plaid.
Pls let this be one of your weird hints Nomura. pls.
Or Nomura might just have a seasonal fetish for plaid in all of his work.
Let me have this.
Half way through Re: CoM and oh man... I wouldn't say I hate it, but I'm not enjoying it either.
Makes me want to play it on the GBA to just see if the game didn't transfer well when they ported it over.

I love this series lol.
Re:CoM is dumb because the entire point of coming up with the card system was so they could translate the action of KH to a GBA game without making it a straight action platformer or beat em up without strategy, but then they brought it back to the PS2 using KH1 assets and you end up with a lesser version of KH1 that plays worse than the original and doesn't make sense to play as is in a 3D game at all.
The GBA game is awesome.
That's what I was thinking when I was playing it last night. I do remember really enjoying CoM on GBA. I just have to find it laying around somewhere.
I disagree. I love the half turn based feel ReCoM has, and I feel more in control of Sora's movements on a larger 3D playing field. I still stand by ReCoM being one of my top three in the series both in regards to storytelling and gameplay.
The original Chain of Memories was really hard. I remember being stuck on this one fight against Riku for so long. Riku's final boss was really hard too. I am grateful to the port for giving a visual and voice to all those Organization members and Naminé but it really highlights how much of an actual Kingdom Hearts 1.5 it is. My last playthrough of reCOM, I just skipped all the Disney cutscenes that didn't involve an original character.
Decided to actually play Days and Re:coded, and just finished up both of them. It's pretty interesting how different the experiences were.
I greatly preferred Days when I first watched the movies, which isn't surprising, as its story is actually interesting, while Re:coded's is nearly pointless. However, when it came to playing through them, Days was a slog due to its repetitiveness, while Re:coded was actually a joy to play with all of the gameplay variety and a good command deck implementation.
Surprisingly, I think I actually prefer Re:coded overall, mainly by virtue of not feeling like I had to force myself to play it. I definitely did not expect to have that opinion going into them.
I'm thinking about playing Dream Drop Distance on Critical next, as it's the only game whose Critical mode I haven't played yet (where applicable, of course). The prospect of dealing 50% less damage is not very enticing, though.

3 could be one of the best games ever made but Rinoa not being in and paying off that KH2 hint would still make it a disappointment personally.Rinoa's alt in Dissidia NT is Nomura's way of stealth confirming her for KH3.
Gosh, I wish we could have seen child Leon, Yuffie, Aerith etc. in Radiant Garden in BbS :<
Are you referring to their timeline videos? I actually haven't watched those; I should check them out.
Yes, he is putting together videos from all the games in chronological order, starting from Union/Back Cover. He's using cutscenes, gameplay (and he plays really well) and the reports as well.
Just beat Sora's story in CoM now I have to do Riku's.
This truly is the realm of darkness... -_-

Riku's is so much faster because there's not a single cutscene in the Disney worlds. You just enter and go to the boss and move on. I tried and clear out enemies in every room so Riku could be levelled up, but around the fourth world I give up and from then on I just rush to the boss and progress.
That's good to hear I'll start it tomorrow.
Its funny I didn't mind it at first but the longer I played the game the more I grew to hate it :p

Ok, I'm just casually watching Liam's (Rising Superstream) KH BBS playthrough in the background while doing other stuff on my computer and just got hit by something I never really thought of while he was in Disney Town.
OK, so BBS is 10 years before KH1, and in Disney Town you see everyone 10 years before KH1, like Minny and Pete and all that, in the game we see a younger King Mickey and we see Donald and goofy. All that is fine and dandy. But we also see Huey, Dewy and Louie, and they are still ducklings, and then 11 years later are still ducklings. Like, do Disney Ducks age at a slow rate? Are they 10 (or 20 or 30?) in BBS? What I'm saying is, Donald's nephews are likely older than Sora, and that weirds me out and I never thought about it till now, even when I played through BBS.

I'm pretty sure they're immortal and don't age since we also go back in time in KH2 when we go to Timeless River.
True, but I assumed they did "age" and that Timless River Mickey (and Donald and Goofy) were like, their younger forms. Like, they got less noodly as they aged (/technology got better). Like, Timeless River was a loooong time ago while BBS was 10 years ago so they look the same (like, I assumed that Mickey, Donald and Goofy are like 40 or 50 or something and Timeless River was their teenage years).
Then again I don't know and I know it doesn't matter but it still weirds me out a bit.
Mickey and Minnie are actually tyrants who are using their powers to halt aging for themselves and their inner circle, allowing them to rule with an iron fist for all eternity. Naturally, a spell is placed over the kingdom to mind control all of their subjects into loving them, no matter how much they abuse their power.
Rescuing Aqua being "too dangerous" until right before disaster struck? It was all a front. Mickey knew that Aqua was a threat and might notice and dispel the magic they had set up, endangering his empire. He only decided to go get her out of sheer desperation, as his fear of Xehanort was even greater.

I snicker whenever anyone acknowledges the HDL paradox.
Nomura trying to tell a story with a past, present and future but not being able to alter the ages of Disney characters to fit must be hell. At some point you kinda just have to acknowledge that they don't so much as age as they transition between eras of character design. Hence the B&W versions are considered their "young" selves and their current selves are essentially age-less. Not just the animal people though, the Princesses that appear in BBS are still effectively the same age 10 years later. The only sticking point is Hercules, who actually did get to grow up in somewhat real-time.

HDL better be "aged" into their Ducktales 2017 reboot designs and personalities or I will riot.
Minnie absolutely is a tyrant, banishing Pete to the sunken place? Pure evil.
WAIT! NO! Not new Ducktales! QUACKPACK
C'mon Nomura you COWARD! Give us some Disney Channel cartoon representation!

You don't remember Quack Pack it was a terrible show and I believe it was on in the late 90's or early 2000's.
I am in love with Beck Bennett so him being in Kingdom Hearts III voicing Launchpad would be everything to me.
And Gizmo Duck is now voiced by Lin Manuel Miranda so the theatre geeks can get in on KH now too 8D
Nope. I was born in '95, and my parents didn't want to pay the outrageous price for Foxtel (the only way to watch Disney Channel) so my only source of Disney TV was on Saturday mornings during a program called Saturday Disney. They would air three episodes from three different shows (Kim Possible, Lilo and Stitch, American Dragon Jake Long, Teacher's Pet etc.) with original content sprinkled throughout. That went from 7am to 9am and that was all the Disney shows we could get.
I missed out on Quack Pack, the original Ducktales, and a whole lot more. Nowadays, thanks to iTunes season pass, I can keep up with the three shows I have interest in (Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure, Big Hero 6: The Series, Ducktales (2017) however they are really behind in episodes. Ducktales hasn't updated since episode 9 and I believe it's up to episode 18 in the states? Big Hero 6 just came out and they haven't added anything past episode 7 while episode 10 is airing tomorrow, and Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure's second season hasn't gone up for purchase yet.
Just makes you wonder why would you use HDL in BBS.
Quack Pack is not great but I do remember that there are some really funny episodes behind that 90s edge. I haven't seen them in a long time but one that I remember was when Donald's younger self appears with old school design and everything and he is just a crazy asshole like the older cartoons. Dunno if it holds up.

Just beat Re: CoM Riku's story and that was surprisingly good.
The Zexion fight was entertaining I'm pretty sure you didn't fight him in the GBA version but I could be miss-remembering.
I forgot how much character development Riku gets in the game makes Sora's story even worst :p
Hopefully Aqua, Ven, and Terra get something like this to further their growth and come to terms with what has happened to them. That's if they don't die in KH3 >:C

Lol I remember Quack Pack! It would be pretty cool if there were mini-games inspired by some of the Disney Channel / Toon Disney shows in a future game. I remember when we used to play the Disney Channel games online every time we got to go to the computer lab at school. *sighs with nostalgia*
