          The first one was normal jrpg incomprehensible but the second one was capital i Imcomprehensible lol

          Nah but I think the first one had a really solid intro. These games are a mindfuck in general tho. My old roommate loved them and I watched him play through all but the third one

    Quick tangent but one of the biggest things I hate about gamers is when they can identify the problems with the video game industry and capitalism, but instead of naming it that they blame it on consumerism instead. I can't even tell you guys how much I hate that word. Just say capitalism! Why are we bullshitting around

      But if they say capitalism instead of consumerism they would have to confront the fact that the system is broken, their lives are enslaved, and they have no autonomy. But those don't feel good to think about so consumerism is the copium.

          The age of fire is capitalism. Jeff Bezos is Gravelord Nito, Elon Musk is Seath, I dunno Rupert Murdoch is the furtive pigmy? And even if you beat all of them and become the king of capitalism, you will just perpetuate the eternal cycle of suffering. As long as you're replacing lords with more lords, you'll lead the world to it's ruinous end, trudging through the ashes all alone.

      Reminds me of the hbomberguy video on CAD, where they talk about how gamers will say "X executive at Y company is evil!" Without understanding why market incentives perpetuate a system where artistic value is of secondary importance to profitability

          There's like 2 exceptions I think in bosses because those are scripted, but that's it. And it'll fill the form changes gauge faster instead.

    Oh my god this is so dumb. I hated 3 and was happy with the idea and seeming implication that Sora would no longer be the focal character.

    Sora is a boring character who was cliche twenty years ago.

    Instead of making new characters in this world, they just focus on the most bland character ever.

    Then again the series is about going into Disney franchises, so the concept was flawed from the start.

    Don’t they have another decade or so worth of Gaiden stories to tell between 3 and 4?

    I just realised Kingdom Hearts and Final fantasy aren't the same game.

        There are 15 mainline Final Fantasy games and like a bazillion of spinoffs. Or I guess sixteen if you consider X-2.

      KH does have a bunch of FF characters in it. Sora fights Sephiroth pretty frequently

      I tried to post a synopsis of Kingdom Heart's story here when three was coming out. I copied and pasted it from kotaku or something (I didn't write it myself.) It took something like 7 comments to get through most of it before I gave up (I kept hitting the character limit), and of those ~20,000 characters or whatever, like 6 words made any sense.

      But maybe I should wait for the HD remaster?

    Elsa not being a fighting member of the team was a fucking waste. Even more when they just made it into a literal shot for shot of the movie, but with Sora and pals.
