When is the dlc launching ? Will buy the game around that time
It's also the best game in the series, even though past games had a few cool FF cameos and some iconic challenges, level by level KH 3 is just more fun. Going back to past games the levels feel like boxes, and 3 has some really cool shit like the mini open world for the carrabean and San Fransokyo.
I had some really angry guy on Twitter going off on me the other day because I said my last remaining Smash dream character is Sora. As a Geno fan, he said, he and his ilk had waited too long, that Geno was more relevant, was more deserving, has more of a legacy (eh...?), all the usual stuff. But he didn't stop there. More than that, he said, Sora is just some generic shitty anime kid who only appeals to weeaboos. He continued: No one likes Kingdom Hearts anymore, get with the program loser, everyone agrees KH III was a colossal failure critically and sales-wise, only weeaboos try to defend it. Blah, blah, blah.
Now I'm kinda wishing I hadn't muted him. Linking him to this would've been hilarious. :D

By the way, I'd be super happy for Geno fans if he ever actually made it in. I told him that, too. He didn't return the sentiment!
Japan makes games that fit their vision instead of chasing Western trends, and their efforts are rewarded. Bravo!
I'm very much looking forward to what they can produce next gen.

Last gen was dominated by western studios, but Japanese devs definitely stepped their game up this gen and made incredible games throughout the entire gen and it pays off. Hopefully this carries to next gen too.
They are the reason I got into consoles for the first time, so kudos.
It's not my favourite, but I had a fab time with it and am very glad it did well for them. Few things make me as happy as Kingdom Hearts.
I'm curious to see the distribution, but my gut says it'd still be overwhelmingly PS4 which would still make beating the LTD of the other games quite impressive imo considering it's been 6 monthsish versus like at least 13 years for the others.
KH3 had issues, and I might currently prefer KH2FM(which kind of isn't fair since 2FM is the game I go back to the most and constantly to replay), but I'm glad it did well. It did a lot of things right, and I'm super stoked for the DLC.
That's nice that they took the concept seriously back then. IGN walked out after the Q&A back when the project was first announced (the conference was still going), so Nomura probably appreciated someone putting some effort in to their conversation.
I mean sure. It probably means that KH3 became the best selling game in the series now instead of in 3 months time.
The whole narrative is being bogged down by the setup DDD left it on plus it doesn't even do particularly good job with the shitty hand it was dealt.
Also the game was way, way too braindead easy on launch. Can't comment on the Critical Mode added later since I'm waiting for the DLC to hit before trying it out.

Well, good to hear that someone appreciated it but to me it was an okay game, fun for the 40 hours that it lasted, but no more than that. Past games (except Chain of Memories jesus) got me much more involved
I'll be honest
I didn't take it seriously either and thought it was gonna be bad and fail
17 years later....and it's in my top 5 fav franchises.
I played almost every version of every game released (and playing through 1.5+2.5 right now with 2.8 next) - just got kh3 last week from amazon
It's one the instances that sales do reflect quality so you are correct XD
I mean, how obvious was this?
That's fair, but for Nomura's first directing gig, and one that wasn't being taken seriously, I'm sure he appreciated this one person taking him and his work seriously when others like IGN weren't.
Nomura smokes? This is the first time I have ever seen him smoking.
Really great game. However the pacing is just plain bad. No reason to leave the major story sections about certain characters till so late in the game.
lol that looks way back, I wonder when that was. Before Nomura was consumed by black color for his outfits lol.
There were so many people who were literally getting off to the idea of this game crashing and burning.
Glad it did not! I don't know yet how I rank it among the other games in the series but it's a worthy successor to 1 and 2, at any rate.

I'm happy the series seems to sell better than ever. KH3 has its share of problems but I've still enjoyed it enough to give it 7 playthroughs thus far. Definitely looking forward to the future of the series from here on out.
I felt the same way to me the issue was the majority of the game is really poorly paced. The Disney worlds, for the most part, have no relevance to the main narrative so going through the world's was such a slog.
he was also captured on video smoking, i think voice recording for AC or FV13
I didn't know that lol. Most of Nomura I saw were in 2010s so I missed a lot of old stuff.
It was a flawed game, but one that I found enjoyment with.
I'm just glad this means we can expect more KH in the future.
