I think this was the necessary direction to take when considering that areas were actually battle fields, and they could not make disappear all NPCs when enemies appeared.

Mind... blown. I just now realized this. What a relief, too.
It's this reason alone that DDD became the best KH game by default.
I just hate the Coliseum that much D:

In Sora's Side for Cites des Cloches, Esmerelda is already ON FIRE when Sora arrives on the scene, and Quasimodo doesn't get around to saving her for a good 45 seconds to a minute later.
And of course, the square was totally empty except for 4 of the 5 characters that exist in the world.
I think it was the most awkward scene I've seen in this series so far.

I dont have much of a problem with Olympus Coliseum, but Wonderland can live with Roxas in everyone forgot about you land.

I've never played a KH game; is this one i could play immediately? I quite fancy playing a RPG on the 3DS.

While all the Bestiary entries and things are brilliantly written, the "Chronicles" that cover past games are really...awkwardly written. If I hadn't already played every game, I don't know f it would have helped a ton. I guess they try to not give *too* much away so you might go back an buy/play those games, but they draw the line in a weird place.

Oh boy oh boy. If these last few scenes were what I think they were...
People who though that KH2 jumped the shark are gonna love this one lol.
I challenge you to make as short synopsis of the plots and make it sound good

.I have only played the first one and am having a blast, it seems the biggest detractors are the folks who have played most of the others. I say have at it.

I think a plot synopsis would have been better done, if they went away from "then this did that, and then dude had a fight with dude" and stopped telling it in such a simplistic and childish manner.
The entire plot could probably be told, and understood by people, if it was all brought together and better explained then what the game currently does.

I think they should have at least provided some initial text prologue at the start of the game in addition to what they do now, having just the basic plot up from would have been nice.

Well, if you have any specific story questions for me after reading that, let me know and I'll do my best to answer them. It's always nice bringing new Kingdom Hearts fans into the fold.
Thanks, I'll be checking back here if I have questions lol.

While BBS is significant, there's a lot of ppl who have only played KH1 and KH2. I hope KH3 does a real good recap

TWEWY fans, are you satisfied about the characters and their stories in this KH? Imo, they're all great, and they reflect nicely how they're in the original game.

I'm conflicted, should I play this with the CCPro or not ?

I guess that depends on if you want the camera to be like Kingdom Hearts I, or Kingdom Hearts II.
I'm thinking it'll befine without it since BBS only had one analog stick and I still enjoyed it.
I'm having real trouble with the controls on this.
Have attack and jump been switched? Camera control seems worse than what I'm used to, which is strange since I finished BbS. Maybe I got used to having two analogs thanks to Vita.
I have the CCP, but I don't want to use it because I'll be getting an XL in a few weeks.
Game looks decent. Already not a fan of this "drop" system, but free flow stuff is fun.
I guess I need more time with it. Only played for an hour or so.

Yeah I think they did a nice job. Thought they fit in better than any of the Final Fantasy characters they've ever done too aside from maybe Auron. Plus Beat sounded like Jesse Pinkman
I just started Traverse Town(just started the game) and
Neku is already a complete asshole

Im so glad they started off with the characters in this town, it definitely has made this one of the more memorable KH experiences.
The automatic camera in this game doesn't suck though.
Fixed that for you.
I haven't got my copy yet but... lemme guess? A is attack and B is jump? That's how it's supposed to be. It's always been that way, only the KH games that came out on Sony systems in the west have the inputs switched around to where X is attack and O is jump. It's a Sony mandate, after all (or so I've heard... only Kojima has been able to get away with it).

I agree. In particular, I loved Joshua's role, e.g.
his intuition about the dreaming stuff
I was going to pick this up for the TWEWY area, having never played a KH game before. Worth it?

This one?
(first pic I could find)
I forget the whole story, but yeah, a fake.
Yeah, that's exactly the picture I remember seeing.
Wow, I thought it was legit till just yesterday. 0.o
Kingdom Hearts III needs a new area to serve as the Coliseum...a Wreck-It-Ralph World featuring a Video Game Tournament? That'd be neat, and would be a good excuse to throw in some Final Fantasy characters to battle.
I wouldn't be surprised if they end up working in the Alice Returns to Wonderland film (the one with Depp) in the next Kingdom Hearts.

I've already played for 5 hours and have only finished TT.
I've been creating spirits and reading all the logs and playing mini games and grinding and getting new abilities and exploring.....lots of content so far, enjoying it alot, especially like that I can have a relaxing time with the spirits if I choose and not have to battle everytime.

The only thing about Spirits is that there's so many I'm anxious about which ones to use...I've got 6 so far, split them up between Sora and Riku (Sora has Bow Wow, the sheep, and the clown, Riku has Komori Bat, Pricklemare, and that toxic salamander) and they've been good so far, but now I've got some stronger ones I can create, but I don't know if I should, or wait till my ones I have at the moment are maxed and learn all their spells.

Yeah, I was just thinking about that yesterday. It's about time we had a Kingdom Hearts game without having to go there. I'm kind of shocked that Nomura was willing to let it go, though.

Well, you should pick up some KH game, because the game is really story-heavy, even though many things are condensed in the final part. But TWEWY characters are well implemented, and they appear
in two different occasions since main characters return in their world a second time.
Beginning the game with the "0 EXP" ability is a blessing... I can explore the worlds without ending overleveled for the next ones (I play on Proud Mode, I want to keep as much challenge as possible). Overall, I'm playing the game really slowly, taking my time, doing a lot of spirit-creation (and leveling them).
As for the TWEWY characters, they are very true to themselves, but pre character-developpement (as someone said,
).
Also : (Gravité nulle +) + (Etincelles +) (which should be "Null Graviga" + "Sparkga" in english I think, or something like that) with Sora = Win button.

Blindly put : Yes. The plot is very convoluted, and without playing KH2 and BBS, you may don't understand what's happening (at all), and who are all those new characters. Hopefully, the glossary will allow you to read the story of KH, KH2, BBS, and probably others games too, but expect to be completly at a loss here.
Most all the worlds, barring the last, are actually quite self-contained. There's also some text summaries of all other games, which cover pretty much all the important points. At the very least you should like the gameplay, so I'd say go for it.

Enjoying the game so far. About 30 minutes in. Finally got the controls down but i'm sorta confused about creating these pets and how they're actually used.
Was excited to have another game I can use the CPP. I assumed it would make camera control easier, but i'm starting to think it's just not necessary for this game. I find myself using the shoulder buttons to control the camera just because it's easier than using the CPP.

Well, I have both KH2 and BBS, but have never played them (part of my huge backlog). So Ill just play them first before I get into DDD. And will probably re-play KH1 just because its been so long.
Thanks.
How do you use the AR card thingys?
I haven't played a JP KH in awhile, and I've never played any of the DS KH games, so I'm ignorant there.
Why can't I just customize my damn controls?

When you're taking care of your spirits, just orient the camera to the cards (you must use the "real" background for that, and desactivate the "in-game" background if you put it instead of the "real" one).

Does the game spoil TWEWY? I still need to finish it.
Do I need to play any of the other KH games, as well? Like 358/2, etc?
