But that made the fight feel that much more decisive

[Daz_4th 7]

maybe?
in most games of that era, having skippabIe cutscenes Ied to Iots of errors
exampIes incIude Crash Twinsanity and FF10 among a few others

so in order to work around them, they just kinda don't Iet you do that

l imagine most issues reIating to this are where the pIayer ends up spawning, so if you skip a cutscene you might not get teIeported because your pIayer character is stiII in that area

(which is what used to happen in Jak 1 when peopIe tried to mod it otherwise)

People talk a lot about choice mattering in interactive storytelling, but the lack of choice makes a difference too. It can make you feel trapped, resentful, or yes, even hostile. All valid emotions you might want the player to feel at some point.

[Daz_4th 7]

l mean
l'm sure l both did and didn't wanna beat up riku

did because he was being an ass for a whiIe there
didn't because he wasn't Iike that before darkness

[KH-Queen 13]

Oh I for sure wanted to beat the crap out of him

[Sam N 10]

Yes! Emotional complexity! I’m here for it!

[KH-Queen 13]

He pissed me off with his stupid pettiness LMFAO

Jealously, fine, but talk it out damn it!!!!

"While you're out playing and having fun-" like NO BISH....WE ARE STRUGGLING HERE ACTUALLY

Lmfaoooooooooo

[Sam N 10]

He doesn’t know how. He’s only seen Sora’s irrepressible optimism and Kairi’s mediation.

[HellboundOrc 2]

And then you learn he was just fueled by guilt in a spin-off game instead of the sequel

[KH-Queen 13]

Gawd I hate Riku in KH1, loved him in the end tho

[Sam N 10]

Riku is a character I liked progressively more as the plot went on

[KH-Queen 13]

Oh for sure

But to this day, he still pisses me off in 1 💀

[Sam N 10]

I think he should. It’s good development.

[KH-Queen 13]

I remember younger me being like "This guy needs to get slapped ASAP"

[Sam N 10]

I don’t think I’d like Riku as much if I didn’t hate him at first

[KH-Queen 13]

Yeah I love Riku post-KH1

[ElectriCole 5]

I was thinking more with the non skippable cutscene but that also is valid lmaoooooo

[KH-Queen 13]

[Sam N 10]

Final Mix fixes that anyway so…

[ElectriCole 5]

[KH-Queen 13]

[Sam N 10]

Very much agreed

[KH-Queen 13]

Master Riku :BasedKneel:

What a chad

[ElectriCole 5]

Ansem himself was like "Darkness be damn, that boy can grill"

[Sam N 10]

I don’t like to play favorites but Riku so much more deserved his mastery if only one of them could have it
