Buttercup Camera 229 Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) To be honest, Kingdom Hearts is one of the minor games who still use 2D emotes in cutscenes or gameplay. It didnt' actually bother me in the first games, but in BBS was so weird. Ventu's 2D face made him look like a fish and the hands were glued lik they are on The Sims... lol! As 2D I mean the "blah-blah" faces and glued hands!! Edited July 27, 2013 by Marcomax Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Caity 3,946 Posted July 26, 2013 I find all their faces annoying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terraforce777 19 Posted July 26, 2013 I have no clue what you are referring to by 2d models... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PrinceNoctis 1,011 Posted July 26, 2013 I know what you are saying. Like when their faces look like they were drawn on a piece of paper then glued on their heads. When the faces are not animated and only the mouth is moving. I don't we will see that in KH3. And it's becoming in KH games. KhBBSFM had more animated faces. 1.5 has more animated faces too!

Lalalablah 1,538 Posted July 26, 2013 I sort of get what you're saying. Sort of how in one scene the face will look flat and in another it will look 3D. I didn't like that either Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cucco 1,907 Posted July 26, 2013 Yeah, the way the mouths just go up and down sometimes just seems kind of lazy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terraforce777 19 Posted July 26, 2013 I still don't get what you mean by 2D, but it did bug me how in 358, and I think BBS too, how all the keyblades looked flat, as opposed to being 3D as they should be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi socks 37 Posted July 26, 2013 Are you talking about animated vs. pre-rendered expressions? I would assume they're used so much in BBS (And 3D) to save memory since its a handheld. Separately animating all the bones for one use takes up more memory than static, pre-made expressions used multiple times. Most of the time they only use the stock expressions and stuff for scenes that aren't vital to express complex expressions in the story (3D seemed to have more animating, iirc), non-closeups, and quick flashes to the face where it doesn't look out of place. Also: I also vote that Saix has a more terrifying fish-face than Ventus. Especially when it ruins the mood Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juma086 263 Posted July 26, 2013 I understand what you mean. It actually never bothered me until someone pointed it out... Now I find it a little annoying too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tigerruss 576 Posted July 26, 2013 I think what he is claiming is that their faces are painted on instead of having 3D their faces being treated like 3D models. Honestly I haven't looked close enough to tell. The only game I really noticed anything close to that was in the first kingdom hearts. And if he actually meant 2D faces, my next guess would be for the HP gauges, which I like. Either way I shall say I liked the 2D art in COM. (even though that isn't what this is about) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

opinion 83 Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) No i think he means when the game goes into a cutscene where the characters are talking with chat bubbles. Edited July 26, 2013 by opinion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
