The New Kingdom Hearts Thread: On the 13th Year, the Fated Day Arrives

Quit trolling, Darksakul it’s annoying

No series should end because you decided not to care anymore. Leave it to the people that still do.

I don’t really care if no one likes the series. Everyone is MORE than entitled to their own opinions and I absolutely agree that SE has long since jumped over the limit of fucking with everyone’s expectations for KH3. I have no issue with anyone abandoning the series, they have EVERY right to. You can even make strong arguments for the dip in quality of the franchise after KH2 or even KH1.

I just dislike those who want to be done with the series, believing it needs to die as if it cannot live beyond them. The truth is that, despite the IMMENSE amount of missteps, the world of KH has plenty of breadth and room for stories to be told. It can live beyond Sora and arguably like Star Wars before it, do better without him and his looming presence over the series even when he’s not around.

The only reason I’d want an IP to end, whether for gaming or other media is if it truly is holding something else back, or is legitimately limited by the storytelling device it’s framed by. It’s like Twin Peaks. Without the Murder of Laura Palmer hanging over it, it lost all sense of charm of direction and the actual purpose of it, so it legitimately needed to be ended.

KH existing isn’t stopping the next Chrono Trigger from happening. And I believe there’s still merit to the IP. But I certainly don’t dissuade anyone from leaving the series. Hell, I"d probably tell most people who are curious to not start playing the series even with 1.5/2.5 being a thing as it’s generally a chore more than anything at this point. But I’m tired of the “It needs to die, for everyone’s sake”. An IP lives or dies in your own mind. If you don’t believe an IP has anything left anymore…just don’t follow it. I’ve sure as fuck have done that on multiple occasions with absolutely no regrets.

I ain’t trolling

The only trolling is coming from SE and Disney

I’m not a huge fan of KH…not anymore but I want to see it to the end. It’s like how I felt with Inuyasha. I got in and I have to see how it ends then I can move on.

Downhill happened a while ago, but here’s hoping it ends on an up swing.

Also when Soras no longer the MC KH is over for me.

See, to me that’s actually mildly bitchmade. If something goes bad, staying with it helps no one. It just makes the creator think they’re doing something right.

I’ve been hundreds of chapters, or episodes (for anime) deep, or multiple games deep and just stopped because I didn’t like where the series was heading. Hell I dropped Dexter 2 episodes before the finale because I just got fed up with that shit, and House with one season to go.

Trying to stay with something that you no longer appreciate only does more harm than good. It harms yourself, because you waste time with something you KNOW you aren’t feeling anymore, and it hurts the series because any stabilization in numbers means it’s much less likely to make the changes needed to get back on the right track. And it also hurts the people around because those who hate it will wonder what’s wrong with you, and those who like it will tire of the demeanor of someone still sticking around a series they dislike. It just doesn’t do anyone any good.

I UNDERSTAND how most come to the feelings of “I put so much time into this, I have to stick it through” but it’s a “Sunk Cost Fallacy” for a reason.

I never said I hate the series and that goes for both. The side stories is very convoluted for KH so I dipped out but finally we have an established 3rd game coming so I must get back into it to see if it will get better. The longer something goes, the more likely it will start to dip. How many stories have an amazing story from the very start to the very end?

I like closure Shrug KH is a story I want to complete and see completed. I can’t say that for every single thing I have started and never finished. Besides, I have cheated out by “finishing” a story here and there thanks to youtube/wikis and you can’t say the creators wanted me to experience their stories that way.

So sora’s keyblade is for the realm of light.
Mickey has the keyblade for the realm of darkness.
Leaving riku with the keyblade for the realms in between?

Well we’re on the eve of the Embargo lifting.

Some brave soul posted some pics from within the event. At least one spoiler within.

23 Minutes of Toy Box, the Toy Story World.

Release Date, January 29th, 2019. Completely not surprised that they aren’t able to make a 2018 Release Date. At least they aren’t rushing it, which I was worried they would do to avoid the memes.

FUCKING…FROZEN… :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

PA, eventually you’re going to have to Let It Go.

I’ll let that Keyblade go upside her head :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

The game is coming out in January and we only know of what? 6 worlds? Twilight town, tangled, frozen, toy story, monsters inc and Hercules.

There is still a lot to look forward too. I have a feeling this game is going to being fucking huuuuuge. They’ve been working on it since forever. Also, they could go fucking bananas on dlc for different worlds and I’d buy them alll without hesitation.

Well it helps that the world size is massive. Galaxy Toys alone could take up most of the previous World Size, let alone alongside Andy’s Room. But those two together only make up 30% of Toy Box.
