wow just like gameplay saved kh2, hilary saved your argument with her underlying tone of not giving in; she didn't blink, move, or even utter a word to perfectly encapsulate the message you were desperately trying to convey in this video about kh3. You need to put the commitment that Hilary is putting in into this partnership or she's just going to be doing all the work while you sideline like some twat; great vid
in response to bloody biscuits tho, video games unless intentionally designed for speedrunning arent made specifically for it. when square enix was making this game, their first thought isn't "how will this affect the time of speedrunning this game" they were thinking "how will this mechanic work in the overall game, how will the story work, how fun will this game be". listen, i LOVE speedrunning, i'm not saying his opinion isnt valid, and i'm not saying hes an elitist, i'm saying devs dont think about speedrunning first.
Coolio Ash his complaints weren't based around how it'd effect speedrunning the game, it was about the combat in general and that it looked like it was more sluggish and bogged down compared to 2.
Neither does he. He wasn't complaining that the game didn't look like it had enough sequence breaks or menu tech. He was complaining that the combat looked like it felt too slow. Which is something that dramatically affects every single person that plays the game.
"Turn your brain off." I get the feeling a certain otaku gonzo journalist made a video addressing this anti- criticism stance as well. I find it unfathomable that people would rather just accept what comes their way instead of voicing what could be improved to better whatever it is they're a fan of.
I actually play KH for the story (The overarching one, not the shitty Disney rehashes) and even I agree with what the speedrunner said. Fans just feel the need to devalue other people's opinions for literally no goddamn reason.
DuoPersona101 The kingdom hearts original content is the overarching story, and is what i care about. However, I dont care about the episodic stories on each Disney world, which is just a remake of whatever movie they were in.
This is why I'm more than a bit excited for KH3's approach of having Sora go on adventures in BETWEEN the movies. KH3 is taking place between Toy Story 2 and 3, for example, and thus they can basically do whatever they want.
You are one of if not my favorite RUclipsrs that I've subbed to this years and listening to your voice 2x a week now (WIAGW and Made in Abyss weekly) will be nice.
What made the first game so special was how we got different situations with the Disney characters. I remember the interactions I had with Beast from the first Kingdom Hearts because it was different, it wasn't the same Disney story played over again. And Maleficent was so fucking fun to watch in the first one because of how she warned the rest of the villains and smiled as they were devoured in darkness only to end up being consumed herself. And in the second one she is hardly as intimidating or even worth a damn.
It sucks that as good a game as KH2 is, it devalued the previous villains so much. Heartless no longer felt like this serious, potent, world-ending threat. They're just a side attraction now, and their leaders feel like some cheap saturday morning cartoon villains.
Actually in Kingdom Hearts 3's Toy Story world, it takes place AFTER the events of the second movie. Meaning that it is cannon to Toy Story 3 according to Square Enix and Pixar Studios.
BestGuyEver, Kingdom Hearts 3 has been said to be providing original stories for the Disney worlds, so don't worry about reliving the Disney movies. Also, I agree that we need to see more Disney and Final Fantasy interactions more. Heck we haven't seen much Final Fantasy lately in a series that has been sort-of billed as a crossover between that and Disney.
Well, from my perspective, I believe the Level Design is LEAGUES better than every other game. Olympus alone looks fun to travel through. But like you and many of the speedrunners and even some casual fans, I do worry about the combat. The Osaka Effect to be specific, where everything has lengthy animations and so you'll get hit, especially by enemies that for some reason don't stagger.
The worlds are gonna be vaster and more beautiful than ever but I worry that they'll be to empty like KH2 and BBS. I'm deeply worried about the combat.
I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiments. For some reason, some people like to view Kingdom Hearts III as some kind of Holy Grail that is not allowed to receive criticism. They look at the game and go "WOOOOOOOOW, COOOOOOOOOL CAN'T WAIT" and never take the time to think, "Hmm...but how could this be improved?" They just want to think that KH3 will release as this perfect game that will fulfill all of their fantasies, which news flash, it probably won't.
Just a heads up , the Toy Story world is not a retelling of any of the movies. It's a new story set after Toy Story 2. Pixar wanted something original , was said shortly after the trailer was shown last month.
thank goodness for this video, those comments drove me insane with their stupidity but the futility of arguing with people in youtube comments had me lose hope until now, you really are the best guy ever
wait wait wait. You're from TBBBAP....? OH shit. Now that's a blast from the past. I had no idea. Wow. It's like making friends with someone you used to be friends with but forgot. Crazy shit man.
In KH3 the toy story world will actually be an original story, in Toy Story 2(?)the sheep toy lady I forget the name of wasn't in the movie at all and they'll explain why in the game, so in a way, KH3 is canon to toy story
I will never get over the fact that one of my favourite youtubers is also just as neck-deep into the bullshit of Kingdom Hearts as I am. Thank you, BestGuy. Bless you.
You talked about how you're not stoked on the Disney levels, which I absolutely agree with. Unless they were novel in some way, they were usually pretty boring in terms of progressing through the story. I think the most fun worlds are consistently the non-Disney related ones with a few notable exceptions. I find the Disney worlds a slog to get through the monotonous cutscenes where X realizes the importance of friendship, or Y decides to stop being a fuckboy. Regardless, it all boils down to one thing; if I have to go back to Agrabah one more fucking time, I don't know how I'll handle it.
I think the only game Agrabah wasn't in was Birth By Sleep, but I remember an Olympus Colosseum level in that game. I think Olympus Colosseum didn't get on my nerves because of how it was purely an arena level in the first game, and the developers then expanded on the world in the second game. Fat Bandits just plain suck, too, and Olympus Colosseum is absent of those not counting the rounds in the tournaments.
What a great video, I love the skeptical view from a fan of a series who has actual concern for the future development of that series instead of sucking its dick so that they do not offend other fans of said series. I am a huge fan of kingdom hearts and have been concerned about its evolution since BBS, but I feel like most people just skim over the shitty battle systems that square has been implementing in these games. However, you really voiced a lot of my concerns and have brought up new ones that I never had really thought about. I am going to watch that speed runner's analysis to get a better understanding of the points you brought up that hadn't crossed my mind. You truly are a fucking genius.
I feel like the reason people(fanboys) don't criticize their favorite series is not to appease other fans, it's to appease and reassure themselves. They're scared to admit that something they hold so dear to them is flawed and it might make them like it less or not like it at all. I used to be like that towards some things until I stopped being a bitch and realized that not everything is perfect and it's ok to admit that even your favorite game, or movie, or show is flawed. The true fans are not the people who blindly follow what a company does, denies and disregards any criticism, and actively shits on anybody that doesn't agree. The true fans are the people who can find flaws, major or minor, in the things they love yet still actively enjoy them.
BB's input is rather important even for more casual players when examined from the perspective of replayability. Tight mechanics with minimal downtime during combat is what makes KHII so great and so replayable. I've completed KHII more times than I have for the rest of the series put together, all because the gameplay is so solid and involved.
The thing is, most of us enjoy the gameplay of Kingdom Hearts, but the big draw for the series is the story, characters, and world building, sure the gameplay is important, it's what will keep us coming back, but the previous aspects are what really matters to the majority. Of course, another point that should be made is peoples tastes, I personally prefer KH2 and 1 as a whole, but I still enjoy most the rest of the game's gameplay (besides Re:Com and Re:Coded). At the very worst, the gameplay of the side games are slow, annoying, and not entirely fun but for the most part, they aren't bad, better than some other games out there, and I know people personally who like some of the side games combat better, I may not agree with them but their opinions are still valid. EDIT: Bad Disney Worlds = Rehashing movie's plot Good Disney Worlds = Using characters and setting creatively in the context of the series lore and making something unique out of it. Let's hope we get good worlds with KH3.
Good shit man. One thing you should know though, supposedly that Toy Story World will have its own original story. Don't know if it will be any good though.
I'm very new to KH gameplay, and when I was playing KH2 for the first time, the perspective-breaking "cinematic" angles the game takes when I accidentally activated a limit or a summon was really annoying and flow-breaking. So I absolutely get the concern mentioned around 14:45 about the constant perspective shifts.
4:35 to skip the stupid preliminary bullshit and get to the actual topics. I'm probably gonna do my own MIAMAFV tho. You're a big inspiration, Nate. Love ya.
Actually. They actually already confirmed that they are not redoing the toystory story but will be doing their own story that takes place between 2 and 3.
Yeah KH3 is coming out on December 31 2018 at midnight.
they should have timed it so it would be on a leap year as well

Yeah that is up there with "It's better than nothing." from the people who defend Berserk 2016/17.
The amount of joy I'm feeling is indescribable. Thank you Nate

Cybersaur Tecz to make themselves feel better.
Cybersaur Tecz Then you don't care about the story?

Excellent, I was *almost* considering lowering my patreon pledge due to the lack of content, but I'll keep it now. Good job Nate.
Another convoluted acronym, I love it
Looking forward to this!
I am so glad to see you and the creator of minecraft come together to make youtube great again.
THANK GOD
now I will patron
I've been waiting for a consistent upload schedule
Really exited for Willy's Incredibly Amazing Giant Willy!
Willy's Wiley Willy
"Despite wanting to die, I felt amazing" I'm sure everyone can relate
Don't forget you're here forever.
Having all that KH knowledge and being smart doesn't mean your opinions are valid when u don't like what I like
You forgot they are minority. Minority is always wrong.
Hentai Warrior yeah fuck minorities, what do they even do?
glad you're back bro, missed u
Holy shit Best Guy Ever continuing to be the Best Guy Ever. Keep it Up!
YES! I LOVE YOU GUY! Thank you for this gift to the world

"cheap saturday morning cartoon villains". Pete.
Oh boy, did my reply just get deleted? Nice job dude.
?
Nevermind, it looked like my first comment had been deleted.
4:09 that moment when you fear Nate is going to become the new Digibro, the new Mothers basement
You need an h3h3-like intro with Hilary going "wow, great moves, keep it up. proud of you!"
this video got me out of bed this morning. thanks!

Holy fuck, thanks for the promo Bestman! :)
Very clever for Best Guy Ever to tag team with the worst Woman ever for this video.
Nomura confirmed that the worlds will all be original stories. The Toy Story world is Canon and takes place between 2 and 3
Actually in Kingdom Hearts 3's Toy Story world, it takes place AFTER the events of the second movie. Meaning that it is cannon to Toy Story 3 according to Square Enix and Pixar Studios.
N-NANI? I'M GAY?

It's like telling an Economist their opinion regarding the future of the economy is not valid because they have a degree in Economics.

So true. People will do anything to keep themselves from being disapointed.
Weekly uploads yessss
He's so expressive
Link to full song played at the end
Lookin' good Big Nate, my body is ready for WIAGW
On this day a legend was born .
More please I missed frequent content
Dude, miamafva was so fucking rad, do it once a year, and I like the idea of wiagw, love you man, peace
Oz TheNoble you obviously missed the point. He can't do it. It's too much.
since you are taking everything from Anny Bananny aka melon can you get a Cal Chuchesta?
Daddy gets more swole every new vid. I love it
That was a really good cold open. Really good

Did you intentionally change clothes for each edit-in you did?
Deadlift the week into submission my dude
With how many darn acronym Nate as made at this point, I'm surprised the meme isn't now NNDU.
Every 4 minutes I pause the video and try to like it, only to find I've already liked it.
NANI?!
Nate doesn't upload!!
This isn't a video.
How could it be? *Nate never uploads*
NANI?!
Nate uploads at least one video per week!!
He did MIAMAYFV just to stop this meme.
Get the fuck out
WOO
IT'S

Dude,you're AWESOME!!!!!!!
The best guy ride never ends.
thank goodness for this video, those comments drove me insane with their stupidity but the futility of arguing with people in youtube comments had me lose hope until now, you really are the best guy ever
wait wait wait.
You're from TBBBAP....? OH shit. Now that's a blast from the past. I had no idea. Wow.
It's like making friends with someone you used to be friends with but forgot. Crazy shit man.
I unironically like re:coded because I find its story, and themes compelling. Especially with Data Sora when we compare him to regular Sora.
next friday? isnt today monday? does that make it this friday or the one after?
Dammmmn Nate lookin big
In KH3 the toy story world will actually be an original story, in Toy Story 2(?)the sheep toy lady I forget the name of wasn't in the movie at all and they'll explain why in the game, so in a way, KH3 is canon to toy story
What did you think about the Chicken Little summon in KH2?
Life saver.
Drinking game: scroll through the comments and take a shot every time someone mentions the toy story world having a unique story
I will never get over the fact that one of my favourite youtubers is also just as neck-deep into the bullshit of Kingdom Hearts as I am. Thank you, BestGuy. Bless you.
Bloodybizkitz and Bizkit047 are pretty much the only KH players that I watch.
You're an inspiration.

I'm pretty sure Olympus was in more games than Agrabah. Olympus is like in every single one.
I think the only game Agrabah wasn't in was Birth By Sleep, but I remember an Olympus Colosseum level in that game. I think Olympus Colosseum didn't get on my nerves because of how it was purely an arena level in the first game, and the developers then expanded on the world in the second game.

Were you in a full-time job when making MIAMAFV? How did you do that?
Which one of the kingdom hearts characters would you date?
What a great video, I love the skeptical view from a fan of a series who has actual concern for the future development of that series instead of sucking its dick so that they do not offend other fans of said series.

Good shit man. One thing you should know though, supposedly that Toy Story World will have its own original story. Don't know if it will be any good though.
Not even into Kingdom Hearts, just like watching Nate unleash his genius upon us.
why did you hate birth by sleep and ddream drop distance?
I'm very new to KH gameplay, and when I was playing KH2 for the first time, the perspective-breaking "cinematic" angles the game takes when I accidentally activated a limit or a summon was really annoying and flow-breaking. So I absolutely get the concern mentioned around 14:45 about the constant perspective shifts.
NotQuite Videos remove the abilities auto limit (for other party members) and auto summon to not have those problems
I can't wait to see the WIAGW episode hosted entirely by Action Giraffe.
“gamefeel” - Nate, unironically
4:35 to skip the stupid preliminary bullshit and get to the actual topics.

Actually. They actually already confirmed that they are not redoing the toystory story but will be doing their own story that takes place between 2 and 3.
Having a MIAMAFV mentality is pretty great for productivity, not just in content but life in general
Its like one of my shounen jump magazines.
To answer your question the giant woman is about 2 layers down
This is going to be next gen
NANI?!?!
Nate doesn't have an upload schedule!!
W - Nani?!

A - Doesn't

Today is Monday..............
I miss the trumpets every time you mention MIAMAFV *peepeeee*
"We'll be back next Friday!!" .....but it's Monday..
100% agreed
