Story pacing being the culprit

Let's go

In simpler terms, why make all the effort to keep cross the rainbow till the end, if there is no gold at the end?

Or ever worse, what if there is gold, but it's just not enough?

That's pretty much why I have an issue for when people say "You overhyped it". Because this isn't your usual case of game release, this is an event, like you say

[Estoria#4001 19]

Yes

I wasn't around for it when it happened

[Novayon 192]

of course people will be hyped, that isn't their fault

[Estoria#4001 19]

But I have no doubts being a KH fan from 2009 to 2017 was not easy

[Novayon 192]

Luckily for me, I was kinda absent from the series for a good few years

2015 is where it kicked up again

[Estoria#4001 19]

I understand completely Nova

But you know something that's weird?

I only became acquainted with the series in 2017

[2 quid is good 2,209]

I've been waiting properly since 2012....

[Estoria#4001 19]

A month after I got my PS4, I bought the 1.5+2.5 collecting

[2 quid is good 2,209]

And played the games a couple years before

[Estoria#4001 19]

I had it as easy as you could get

All the collections I could hold for, the internet to give me all the plot explanation I needed

I didn't have to put effort into being a fan

[2 quid is good 2,209]

But you still put in the effort

[Estoria#4001 19]

But yet... I feel very similarly to those people

Well, I put a bit of effort

[2 quid is good 2,209]

[Estoria#4001 19]

But I didn't need to buy another console just to keep up

[Estoria#4001 19]

Those are things that add up

So it is weird

[2 quid is good 2,209]

That's very true

It was incredibly common as well to be seen as a lesser fan for not playing all the games, which is crazy considering they were spread over five consoles

[Estoria#4001 19]

How come a fan that's been with the series since 2001 and another who's been with the series since 2017 feel almost the same way?

[Novayon 192]

Still is tbh...

[2 quid is good 2,209]

Ahh Yeahh.... Xbox has it rough

I don't know Esto

I guess I can only surmise that those two fans had similar expectations of a numbered game?

[Estoria#4001 19]

That is true

I also had them

[GoldenDrummer730#4323 24]

i also think social media had an effect too

[Estoria#4001 19]

Those filthy expectations

[GoldenDrummer730#4323 24]

back then it was just forum posts, now we got videos, tweets, posts, you name it
