*Spoilers* KH3 Chat

So why can't we do that for Kh3, when all these side narratives have served to build it up in this way to begin with? that seems odd to not even account for the fact, and continuing isolate the narratives into their one little game

I would say KH2 is probably enhanced if you knew what had happened in Re:COM,considering Axel is major there and it tells the events of why Namine's name is in the journal, and amongst other things

[KH-Queen 13]

For emotional set ups, KH3 did a good job with that because I bawled like a firetrucking baby the whole game

[Estoria#4001 19]

Because I simply don't believe KH3 has a strong enough narrative to sustain the themes that well

See, that's how wild experiences can be

I mostly sat through KH3 with a dead pan expression

The only time where I actually felt any sort of investment were the first Twilight Town cutscenes, The Final World segments, and the final MX battle

[KH-Queen 13]

But, then again I cry at every single KH game

But, KH3 made me BAWL

[Estoria#4001 19]

None of the other moments actually hit me because they seemed to happen without much fanfare

[KH-Queen 13]

I felt so invested throughout the game

[Estoria#4001 19]

"Oh, it's Xion.

...

What the hell are you doing here?"

[KH-Queen 13]

I was like "aww yeahhhh here we go!!"

[Estoria#4001 19]

Yeah, sorry but that's not enough for me

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

At this point, I don't think it does much to continue keeping the narratives separate throughout the games, becuse it feels like all this fanfare had buildup already

[Estoria#4001 19]

Yeah, much build up

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

I've kinda stopped viewing them all as a book, and all as chapters, because that's basically what they are now

It's like if you read a book and decided "No,i only want to read chapters 1,3,and then the last one"

counting kh2 as the third game here,i.e.,the third chapter

[Estoria#4001 19]

Yeah, I actually have many more problems with all this

Mostly on what relates to the roles the characters had, the story beats and the framing of the narrative

I have discussed most of this to death with Quid already, by the way

And we have reached interesting conclusions regarding how similar our experiences and feelings are

The forefront is mostly that most of the game felt haphazardly thrown together and the red product felt unsatisfying

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

Well, sorry about that, but I just don't feel the same way about Kh3 and it's issues, since it feels like the series has always been pretty flawed. But I think it's simple to look past them ?

[Estoria#4001 19]

Yeah

I could write essays upon essays on why I think that KH3's flaws are that more apparent

[KH-Queen 13]

I'm with Ellie on this one

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

honestly, I'd just wrap it up to a few short sentences.. It's really not that deep of an analysis. And that aside, I.. don't think it's that much more apparent than anything prior.

[Estoria#4001 19]

Yes, because you're the arbiter of how deep analysis could be

If it's not that deep of an analysis then I guess the people at KHInsider and KH13 are wasting their time trying to figure out why they didn't like KH3 as much as they wanted to

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

You kinda misunderstood why I said that ?

[Estoria#4001 19]

Yeah, sure

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

No.. you did,lol.

[Estoria#4001 19]

I'm sorry, I'm just interpreting the words as you write them

Me: "I could write essays on why I think KH3's flaws are more apparent"
You: "It's not that deep of an analysis"

I smell beef

[Estoria#4001 19]

Nah, not at all

[KH-Queen 13]

There;s no beef
