KH General Chat

So a crossover

Hahaha

[J u i c e 1]

I mean yeah but like people always act like it’s strictly FF x Disney, when the FF stuff really isn’t that important in the grand scheme, despite how cool it is

It’s about wording more than anything

[Xendran#1406 1]

this wording has changed over time

[J u i c e 1]

I mean KH3 barely having any FF representation doesn’t make it any less of a KH game imo

And yeah it has, tho I still see people out of the loop call it that

[Xendran#1406 1]

when it was just kh1, it was 100% "fnal fantasy meets disney", the original KH characters were part of that FF vibe because they are SE characters

now those characters are established as part of their own franchise though

[J u i c e 1]

That’s true, tho I’ve legit heard people say things along the lines of, “KH was a FF x Disney cross-over but then Nomura let his OCs run wild and distract the direction of the series”

That baffles me because the original plot and characters was ALWAYS the backbone of Kingdom Hearts

It just got more layered over time

[Xendran#1406 1]

the backbone of the entire franchise are the original characters

[J u i c e 1]

Exactly

[Xendran#1406 1]

to the point where they can release multiple bad games and people don't care because the characters rae good

[Xendran#1406 1]

the character design covers so many bases that they dont even need to add character development to anyone and still have the characters get dedicated fans

[J u i c e 1]

I mean imo no KH game has really made me upset enough to call it bad, maybe except Re Coded

[J u i c e 1]

And RECOM is just kind of ok I guess

[Xendran#1406 1]

having like 3 pallette swaps of every main character being their own canon extra characters is like throwing the net as wide as possible

[J u i c e 1]

For context, I’m one of those guys who discovered KH during the 3 hype and binged the PS4 collections

[Xendran#1406 1]

ive been playing back since kh1 was first released

[J u i c e 1]

Yooo nice

I wasn’t really a PlayStation guy until I was much older, and even then wasn’t really into RPGs until later than that

But yeah, back to the topic at hand, I really wouldn’t like it if KH was just strictly FF and Disney

@J u i c e i feel like that's pretty dismissive

it's not a misconception at all to call it FF x Disney

FF isn't just the characters, it's the mechanics, the items, the way the lore is structured and everything else

also Xendra is super on the money with the point on the characters carrying the games

[Superslash 5]

I just still can’t get behind the whole “we didn’t need them this time around” thing like no shit you haven’t “needed” them since Kh2 apparently because they’d be using them less and less ever since, or they were increasingly becoming cameos and nothing more, but there’s nothing wrong with letting them exist in twilight town a LITTLE bit like jeezus they just got thanos’d for what? They bothered to have rare and pointless dialogue talking about ff characters, but that could’ve just have been them physically present instead

:OMEGAPOG:

i have to use ? like a peasant

?

[Superslash 5]

All I know is at least 2 ff characters in a original world per game will only do good in the end

[J u i c e 1]

Well I mean I see it like this, yes I would’ve liked it better if the FF characters had a bigger role in 3, but I didn’t even think about them when I was playing it

[2 quid is good 2,209]

well good for you man, more power to that

[J u i c e 1]

Because they were always just kind of there to me, cool, but there

[2 quid is good 2,209]

but that opinion doesn't make it okay for that status quo to be the case
