A lot of this is conceptual stuff that was more for showing off the capabilities of the 3DS than any thing.

lol Oops, that was a typo...http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/happy.png;

*goes to knowyourmeme* Oooohhhh. lol.

I...I don't know what I'm looking at. ;~; Is this a reference?

Bonus points for making Ven left handed again.

I'm not familiar enough with FF to say whether that's Ansem or not but from a design stand point I can see where you're coming from.

Nomura mentioned in an interview that none of the tormented characters would be saved in this game so that people wouldn't get their hopes up. tbh I wasn't expecting a lot from this game per say. Something else we were told was that this game was rushed and even the ending had to be changed because they couldn't make it work so I always had some doubts about it.

Yes, yes I can.

That's so true.

Because firetruck logic.

You and hatok. Quit reading my mind. Firstly, I would add an extended prologue like in KH1&2. I know why they quit doing this, because they tend to be boring only giving the player mindless busy work to do put it also give the player time to get the know the characters before shit starts happening and gives you a before and after contrast. Like, Aqua and Terra are the ones that were supposed to have changed after the MoM put I never got to understand what that change is. Aqua was supposed to have gotten cockier after being named master but I didn't get to know her character enough before hand to see a difference and it's the same with Terra and his descent into darkness. TL;DR There was a missed opportunity for some good character development. I would have the characters hang around LoD for a while longer just letting the player experience the character's daily lives and be accustomed to how they are before the MoM happens and things start going down hill. Do somethings before hand that pre-establishes Terra as a sore loser but still the big brother or Aqua as the know-it-all teachers pet who's still sisterly. Maybe even how Aqua's know-it-all attitude and Terra's need to win attitude clash but not so bad that they don't forgive each other shortly after to contrast how their relationship becomes later on when they're near beyond forgiving each other. Terra's been shown to tease Aqua for being a "girl" expand on that a little. Ven can remain the clueless little brother for the time that Terra and Aqua argue over knowing what's best for him. During the MoM rather than MX manipulating the harmless balls of light have it be Vanitas. Or maybe have him send in some Unversed while he's add it. Perhaps Eraqus feels a strange darkness emanating from somewhere in the castle but it disappears before he could do anything about it. Later on when Vanitas goes to talk with Ven, Ven tells the others about "the boy in the mask", MX included, and Eraqus suspects that he was the source off the darkness. Feeling that darkness may soon try and breach the sanctity of LoD this gives him motivation to stay behind to protect the place in case Vanitas comes back. While he sends his Terra to find out about the boy, the Unversed, and maybe some other threats, Eraqus asks MX if he'll stay and help protect their old home with him. Here the two have a conversation about the past, about what happened before, and how their master choose Eraqus as the master of LoD and it's his responsibly to take care of it before MX leaves saying that he has other important matters to tend to but that he'll keep an eye out for Vanitas. Little does everyone else know that Vanitas was a red hearing to keep them off of MX's trial while he secretly worked to attain world domination. Dun dun DUUUUUUUN! ...Well not really "dun dun dun" but you know what I mean. MX was always a suspect he was innocent until proven guilty. I'd also have him try to cuddle up to everyone until the end. Not seeing him interact with Aqua is I think another missed opportunity.

I had forgotten were the whip thing was from and wasn't sure if it was Terra related. Not only is Terra's bigger, it's multi functional for all your needs~

Lack of communication in it self isn't a bad plot device, it was just badly executed because there was no reason for it, especially in BbS. TAV are supposed to be these super good friends that have known each other for years and see each other as family and there's just no real reason given as to why they have such communication problems to try and make their friendship fall apart. I just don't buy that they would have such mistrust or privacy issues around each other, but then again, I didn't buy that they were such good friends either since their relationships weren't all that fleshed out to begin with. The three were all together very few times, the first time the writers were busy trying to make TAV=SRK foreshadowing that wasn't needed and eliminating the point of introducing new characters when you're trying to parallel them with others that have completely different personalities (sans Ven), then again during the MoM exam were we get our first communication fail and Aqua being "mom", for the third time in RG were they have an even worse communication fail, then finally at the KBGY were they finally started to open up a little but by that time it was too late, for the characters and for me to care about their friendship because it was actually rather shitty...

Re:Coded because the gameplay is superior, the characters were more enjoyable and I didn't give a rats' ass about Day's melodramatic, woe-is-me story line or characters.

I'm going to say they're real, just to spite you all.

There was topic on this not long ago and I asked this question but never got a response: What was Demyx' line in Japanese? The English translation of KH2 is...wonky at best so when it comes to stuff like this I'm skeptical of the dialog. Which isn't to say there's no merit what so ever, as wimpy as Demyx is he was good enough to be a humanoid Nobody and everyone that was in the Org. was there because they were a potential vessel, Demyx included. He may not have necessarily been a 'nort but it doesn't mean he didn't know more than he let on.

Not to mention Terra's expands...into a cannon. So what do ya'll think is more important, length or girth?

I've seen, just keeping the options open.

Way to warn someone lol. It'd be nice to see him in a bonus story for a, possible, future TWEWY game.

Why Riku was supposed to have the Keyblade or why it went to Sora?

Assuming Xion's a chick.

Why is it that when ever the KH movie idea gets brought up the general assumption is that it'll be live-action? KH really doesn't need a movie but if they were to make one there are two ways I could see it working: 1)It's not a direct adaptation of any of the games but rather a tie in or a sequel akin to Advent Children. e.g If they were to show the time between BbS and KH1 I wouldn't mind it being in a movie or episodic format because the time frame would be so jarring. 2)This is probably the least popular idea because for some reason people get extremely but hurt if an adaption isn't EXACTLY like the source material, but let's face it. It's impossible to make an adaptation transferring medias and have it be exactly the same. It's unfair really and it can be a particular challenge when making a movie adaptation based on a game and KH is no exception. The first game for instance is 25hours at the minimum and that's rushing through it. There's no way that they can compress the story into a movie that'll be 2hours at most. Which is why I think they should just over haul it. Let whomever's working on it re-imagine it however they like as long as it's still recognizable as KH instead of forcing it to try and stay as close to the games as possible. Which is impossible.

Er...Maybe?

I was almost happy today.

I don't have hands on experience with 3D yet but this is something that worried me long before 3D was released: it had the shortest production time of all the KH games. BbS was in the works for approximately 4-5 years before it was released and if you go back and look at old interviews, screen shots, and trailers you can see that it changed considerably much more over time than 3D which was completed in a little more than a year. It was rushed and not as polished as some other KH games.
