Now that the dust has settled, was it better than KH2 FM?

Osaka's ideas and implementation are so awful it's hard to know where to begin.
Situation Commands are pure, unadulterated cancer that remove deliberateness from the system with nonsensical or random proccing conditions and 0 resource restrictions.
The cinematic AoE attacks are distracting, poorly balanced and mechanically boring (press button to see big cutscene nuke).
Keyblade transformations are too basic, samey, most of them are redundant/useless and the palette swapping of magic is disgusting.
Magic is terribly bland with three fucking homing projectiles and transformation variants make it even worse (literal palette swaps).
They removed the contextuality from finishers and just added any additional special finishers you have equipped to the end of the string, while magic finishers can only be used once, and Negative Combo doesn't even exist.
They hid many abilities and important equipment (looking at you Ultima) behind minigames and stamp collecting, as though they were trying to piss Action fans off with stupid, copious amounts of grinding.
They were dumb enough to take Ultima's name literally and invalidate almost every other keyblade.
They inflated boss health because 'muh higher numbers' while not granting enemies individual damage floors, so Lv 1 gets to suck shit through a straw with chip damage. Do I really even need to comment on that health pumped Sorcerer in the battle gate?
There's nothing like HP% based damage or KH2's Limit damage scaling to add utility, flavor, and help players in low level conditions.
Cooking. It's another grindy minigame mechanic with RNG bonuses that is borderline required to not deal chip damage on Lv.1.
Guard is known to randomly fail at no fault of the player. youtu.be
Shitical Mode halved base MP and extensions and nerfed SC rate so magic eats shit while Links don't care. It's the worst designed Crit in the series despite being added post-release.
Jason Edwards
No but it was good. Problem is it wasn't great like 1 and 2. DLC and crit obviously helped
Connor Johnson
ape
Gabriel Morris
I'm going to go with "no."
3 just seemed so short.
Jaxon Moore
It stained the Kingdom Hearts franchise beyond cleansing. I no longer trust the series and will not risk investing in it any further. I used to be constantly researching lore connections and story stuff. This game turned out to be almost 100% walt disney fluff with barely any important narrative so I am finished.
Charles Johnson
Nah. It has some better worlds and gummis, but it's really lacking in many places compared to 2. It feels more like a really constrained proof of concept of "UE4 KH" to Disney than an actual game Nomura wanted to make, which is strange, since FFVIIR was the exact opposite. Hope the next one is more interesting.
Sebastian Clark
It will always be funny to me that you fuckers are angry the series continued on as it always has and that the resolution to this game was actually fairly simple.
Verum Rex will definitely be better
Tyler Morgan
It's very interesting to me how the KH series can have such a shit story but yet have millions of fans that love
What is the secret to getting people to like crap?
I think its because its always teasing the player, implying that later on there is going to be some good story content, with its secret videos and such
Christopher Ortiz
>no FF characters
Not even close
Matthew Edwards
>Verum Rex
I don't think they're going to do a "full" Verum Rex idea, specially since they're doing a Kairi-Riku followup, but it will probably be, at the very least, more interesting than just "resolving plots".
Josiah Edwards
It's because it actually really doesn't have a shit story, more so just a very sloppy one.
Noah Bailey
Literally just based on personal preference user.
Oliver Perez
Nomura will definitely make it a full game, I just don't really see him not taking the opportunity.
Cooper Carter
no, its bad
like the BBS trio friendship is so unbelievable
and was their reunion in KH3 satisfying? Didn't feel satisfying to me
After a bajilion games, was xaonorts end satisfying/interesting or anything? Wasnt for me
Isaiah Sullivan
Will Roxas and Axel finally fuck though?
Dominic Gonzalez
Their reunion in KH3 was kino as fuck you pleb
Anthony Gomez
I had a lot more fun with it so yes
The silly wildride becomes part of the appeal past a certain point
Isaiah Gutierrez
its not wild though
its slow, a very slow ride
Joseph Stewart
It was such a missed opportunity to not have the other playable characters usable for the Data Battles.
Cameron Turner
tl;dr you don't know shit.
Yes, it is better than KH2FM. The 13 bosses are so well designed it is insane. Nothing from any other game can match them.
Thomas Parker
I liked it, I'm more convinced most of the hate comes from nostalgia for the KH1 and 2. However, I think KH2 FM did have more going for it overall, I was pretty disappointed with ReMind for its price.
Henry Jackson
Those 14 bosses must have taken a lot of work to do. Plus you have all the story bits and another unique boss or two. I think it was worth it for the super bosses alone.
Benjamin Davis
Honestly, I think you have to get into it when you're a kid. Then when a new game comes out and you're 20-something, you eat it up no matter what. That's how I feel like it is for me, anyways. I like keeping up with it despite its shittiness, and I know with certainty that if I never played KH and tried to go through every game in succession at my current age, I probably couldn't tolerate the story at all.
Jackson Williams
Would've taken a lot of work man, I agree though.
Levi Bell
This
They are people that played KH1 as a kid (the one with the best story/characterisation) and now they are willing to like anything with the KH branding
Lucas Rivera
>The one with the best story/characterization
That's 358/2 Days tho (Not the fucking movie version)
Jose Green
Nope. I started with KH2 and there is no way in hell I would have ignored the story/gameplay if I were to play it in this day and age. Kingdom Hearts is so ridiculous no other game can compete. It doesn't care about pandering to anyone and that's why it is so good. I love JRPGs like Persona and Kingdom Hearts seems to align with my taste.
Noah Anderson
I think they should've let us play with other characters on the data battles. Even if they said something along the lines of them not being recommended for the data battles, I'm sure people would find a way to beat the bosses with them, it would be better than nothing and they're in a simulation anyways.
Aiden Garcia
Cringe kino is the only way I can explain it.

Oh look it's XV-kun
