Took alot longer then i wanted but due to work and being sick the past couple days i finally got around to beating the game.
Ehhh... Yea like i don't even know where to start lol.
The entire game just felt pointless up until u beat the disney worlds. Which is weird because disney worlds are supposed to be what carries this series with the original plot coming second. But it just felt like S/D/G was just wasting time in every disney world. Especially Monsters inc. Like that was such a filler world.
However the past 5 hours were probably the best time i ever had with a video game even if 90% of it made no sense(i'll make another topic on all the asspulls that happened)
And it wasn't just the story that picked up at the end. It was literally the enjoyment of the game. I don't know if osaka just doesn't know how to make non humanoid bosses but i swear up until davey jones and anti aqua every boss felt like a chore. Like seriously what the f*** was that flying heartless in pirates??
But once we got to the org bosses the game just felt extremely fun. We need a boss replay mode now since the org bosses and anti aqua are literally the only ones worth replaying.
I REALLY wish we could of played as Roxas during the moment he came back. Hell i would of took that over playing as Aqua vs Vantias. I know it was alot easier to use Aqua since they already have her 0.2 models but that just seemed like such a wasted opportunity especially coming off of playing as Aqua during her moment to shine.
I will say as much fan service as the end game provided(That yensid scene was AMAZING!!) it just felt extremely rushed. Like seriously we didn't get a scene with Ven/Roxas talking to each other?? Just a look?
Sora's "breakdown" also felt rushed. Looking back at the trailers you would think they would slowly be attacking sora's mindstate during the course of the game up until the "Scream" but no. It just happened out of no where and didn't feel natural at all.
How the hell did Riku Replica just hop out of Riku? What the hell is happening there??
Were to assume the 3rd heart in Sora's was Xion right? So at the end when Roxas popped out of sora (which makes no sense cause his replica vessel wasn't even there.) Were also to assume Xion's popped out as well? But xion was already fighting Lea way before that happened. So what the hell is going on here?
Why can Roxas still dualwield??
So lets get to the ending i guess. So are we to assume Sora "saved" Kairi and that moment with them on the tree is actually happening(if so then why did sora vanish)?? Or is sora still out there somewhere trying to find Kairi?
All in all im very conflicted with this game. On one hand i think it's extremely average and in no wait warrants the wait time. On the other the last 5 hours is so amazing to a long time fan as my self that it "Almost" makes me forgive the 25 hours before it.
This also feels like a bridge game to whatever is coming next which is crazy cause this was supposed to be the finale to all the bridge games before it.
The gameplay and graphics are great
The disney worlds in terms of relevance are as shallow as ever
In typical kingdom hearts fashion just gives us more questions then answers(Seriously WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHATS IN THE BOX? The new 7 lights was pointless since we don't even know who they are. I won't even begin trying to make sense of 90% of the events that happened in the last 5 hours)
A 8/10 imo. A boss replay mode would bump it up to a 9 though.
KH1/KH3/KH2/DDD/BBS would be my rankings.
The secret ending were to assume Sora and Riku are in "twewy" Shibyua right? I know they want us to think they in "the real shibyua"" but the "104" building is a dead giveaway. "See you in shibyua"!!
