Honestly, there's a problem with doing another game, what exactly is master of masters gonna do that tops Xehanort? Unlocking KH again would be redundent. Its stuff like this that makes me feel that they should have made KH3 the last game in the series that focuses on Sora and Co and any future titles being prequels that star Xehanort and eraques or focus on the first keyblade war. You'll be seeing alot more of how I would have done KH3 after I finish part 2 and start my how to fix the story of KH3 segment.
@@gearsoftime9375 My biggest problem with Sora not just gettting a definative happy ending or a sad but satisfying sacrfice ending is that by continuing the story, everyone else is gonna lose relevance. Ex: What can you do with Roxas, Xion, Ventus, Terra, and Aqua?
I just want to point out Roxas and Xion have zero dialogue together despite the last time they saw each other Xion died in his arms. And that was the base game. Remind doesn't even have three lines between the two of them.
Kingdom hearts 2 Was One Of The Best Video Games EVER MADE. When I Bought Kingdom hearts 3 I Was Hoping I Would Have That Same Magical Experience I Had When I First Played KH2 But It Juat Wasnt The Same. KH3 Is Still Good. But It Didn't Live Up To What I Had Hoped For.😥
i don't even think 3 is good. i was bored from start to finish and literally had to force myself to beat it. as soon as i did beat it i sold it, never wanting to look at it again. i will never play another kh game made by this team again. for me kh1, re com, and kh2 is the series, with bbs and 358 days being interesting side stories. even ddd kept me more intetested than 3 to be honest, i just couldn't find anything about 3 to like. the story in 2 kept me hooked the entire game, and i was really looking forward to it's continuation in 3, but they completely ruined it. even the story in re chain was far more compelling than 3. somehow even the voice acting in re chain was far superior. many of the characters in e, especially riku and kairi sound really awkward and robotic in 3. to me, a remake of a gba game for ps2 is somehow superior the a main entry on ps4 in every possible way, and kh1 and especially 2 just make it look like a complete joke.
@@FinalKHXIII KH3 sucked, I was so hyped for this game, played on proud mode and found the game so bare bones and boring and lacking of an actual plot that I deleted it after toy story world.
@@devanplays3509 it was boring, the enemies were repetitive and easy, you were often forced to use stupid attractions to fight with boring animations, there was no final fantasy in the game, and the hubs were pretty lackluster.
The Killer Critic Square Enix.....honestly, what were they thinking? “Hey, let’s choose a team that makes poorly designed combat over a team that made many people love KH in the first place!” Like, really? Very stupid business tactic. They probably wanted to give Osaka Team a chance, but they obviously blew it. So hopefully this means we won’t see them often after this.
@@ultimachain8677 they've already ruined the series for me. as far as i'm concerned the series consists of the amazing trilogy of kh1, re chain, and kh2, with bbs and 358 days being decent side stories. if the original team came back for the next game, i'd give it a chance, but i'm fairly certain they're sticking with this shit team and i will never play a game made by them again. even if they gave it to me for free i wouldn't play it. even if the combat in 3 were just like kh2, it would still be a huge disappointment because the story is complete crap 2. the first time i played re com i was shocked to find it had such a compelling story, somehow the story of a gba game completely blows away a main entry in the series on ps4. re com gets so much hate but to me it is superior to 3 in every possible way, except maybe visuals but honestly i don't even like the visual style in 3, i definitely prefer the visuals im 2 and even 1 over 3.
@@hyperfairy7779 What’s WORSE is that MoM, a f*cking RHYTHM game, has better gameplay and story than KH3. And its cutscenes are a literal retread of the other games
@@TakeTheWorld21 Indeed so, I don't know how the killer critic will react to MoM, but I do think there's some things in there he won't take well, given how he reacted to charicters being sidelined in KH3 ((that's all I can say without spoilers))
Lol. I love the enthusiasm in the video. The game is just poorly mad for so many reasons and it’s one of many games that added up and made 2019 the year I stopped gaming. We waited like a decade and a half for a half-baked game.
Isn't that a little drastic? I get that KH3 may feel like it was never worth the hype (which I agree, 13 years and for what?) but quit gaming as a whole? There aren't any other game series you like?
I'll never understand why they didn't just make Sora a Keyblade Master in Dream Drop Distance. He is the strongest character in the franchise at this point.
False, he's the weakest and most stupid character in the series, full with plot armor and incapable of doing something on his own, he does shit JUST because is the main character, NO OTHER REASON, he's weak, dumb and bland, not a master for sure, all the praise he gets is all a brainwashing from the game and by nerfing others; did you forget how many times his friends had to save him? Did you forget that he never fights on his own? Did you forget that he defeated Xemnas THANK to Riku? Did you forget that he fell to darkness so easily in DDD and RIKU had to save him (while Aqua remained in the ROD and even WITHOUT a keyblade was able to get up in the dark margin ON HER OWN)? Did you forget that AT THE END of KH3 he wasn't even able to fight a demon tide on his own in the ROL (while Aqua did in the ROD on HER OWN)? Did you forget that he was KILLED by xehanort? the only reason why he defeated him was because of Donald and Goofy; All the other character were nerfed to the ground to make him shine, IT'S SO OBVIOUS, do you really think that Riku and Mickey gets defeated by a single demon tower, when Riku defeated Ansem, young Xehanort and also save sora in DDD? Do you really think that Aqua is so weak that is not capable of doing anything, when she survived in her own in the ROD for more than 10 years and fights many enemies on HER OWN? Dod you remember how she was in BBS? This is not Aqua, this is just a puppet being used to make Sora shine, the REAL Aqua is powerful, ferocious, aggressive, determinated, noble, sensitive and yet very flawed making her human. I could keep going, but i have no time to discuss with some stupid and blind Sora fanboy who cannot see that their favorite character is the weakest and dumb shit in the entire gaming history.
@@tatianaa6833 Dude fanboy? Really!? And I'm sorry, I stopped giving a shit about Canon is this franchise after 2. So I have no interest in reading a wall of text that relates to Nomara's writing habits. And I'm sorry, but please leave me alone. I don't consider myself a fan boy of anything Kingdom Hearts outside of gameplay.
actually riku was the strongest in ddd, at least mentally. i liked sora in kh1, re com, and kh2, but they ruined his character after 2. i mean kh3 pretty much ruined everyone's characters. kairi toughened up at the end of 2 and axel becomes a keyblade wielder and it was all for nothing because in 3 they decide to make everyone but sora entirely useless. i will never play a game made by this team again, kh3 ruined the series for me and as far as i'm concerned it doesn't even exist, the series ends with 2.
@@Jack_80 KH 3 Sora is disappointing, He takes everybody's crap even from those he defeated in the first 3 games. He beat pete twice and pete mocks him in KH 3, He puts up with yen sids nonsense over and over. DDD was the game that made me begin losing Interest in this series story.
re com honestly became nearly as good as kh1 and 2 to me once i mastered the game. it took me 3 seperate attempts to actually get into the game and i was shocked by how amazing it actually is. there is a lot of customization and a ton of different moves you can do. for example i often have 3 cloud cards in my deck, and you can do 3 separate moves with cloud, and i'm assuming it's the same with nearly every summon card, and there are a lot of them. on top of that you have a huge number of sleights, it probably has more possible different attacks than any other kh game. i was also shocked by how amazing the story and voice acting are in re com. the story kept me hooked the entire game just as much as 2, and far more than 3 that never once got me interested. even the voice acting in re chain is drastically superior to 3, i just don't get how any kh fan can hate on re chain but like 3. 3 is one of the most boring games i've ever played in my life, but re com kept me hooked the entire game.
Long comment. Just letting you know. 3:41: I honestly remembered that even a 11 year old me didn't find the game that hard, compared to KH1. It changed when I played the Final Mix version, but I don't know if it was me sucking more at the game now or if the Final Mix version is harder than the OG version. 8:31: I remembered thinking that Olympus was a pretty good introduction to the game when 1st playing, but as I progressed through the game, I ended up noticing that major plot problems in that world's story ended up coming back with a vengeance in the later worlds. Why did Hades just stand around and let the Titans fight Sora and the gang with Hercules when he knew that both Sora and Hercules are major pains for him at that point? In the movie, he made sure that Hercules wouldn't sabotage his plan with the Titans by having his powers drained. Where was that Hades in this game? 8:50: Honestly, Riku and Mickey's whole journey into the Realm of Darkness could've given us a sneak peak into it early in the game and then later turn into the whole 2nd Act. Having them come back to Yen Sid because they forgot to get stronger keyblades like they're freaking replaceable tires and then go back the realm is really stupid. 9:21: They honestly could've just calibrated the boss's stats and A.I. to match with the level you're in for the other characters. 9:41: You pretty much summarized everything wrong with having real Keyblades be randomly breakable 9 games into this franchise. If Tetsuya wanted to have them breakable, it should've been considered way earlier. 10:39: I just call the Power of Waking the Power of Padding. 11:28: To be frank, I never liked the way the Replica Program was used in 3, which hampered my enjoyment of the Toy Story world's plot. 13:41: While playing a dating sim with Sora and Rapunzel was interesting, it really messes with her chemistry with Flynn in this game. You probably could've just axed him and have Sora replace him, though he and Rapunzel can't obviously a couple for obvious reasons. 16:38: I loved the Monsters Inc world, but God, that Vanitas scene was terrible, as it really defanged him as a threat. 17:55: The Game Theory video for the Frozen world actually makes the world even worse than it already was. 19:55: The whole bit with Kairi and Axel training and being in Radiant Garden could've served as the tutorial and be its own section of the game, with Kairi and Axel doing stuff with Leon and the gang and then 1 more fight with each other to prep them for the final battle. 20:19: the whole Winnie the Pooh world felt really pointless in this one, and the whole bit with Aqua felt completely mishandled, which extends to the secret ending in BBS. Yeah, the "mystery" girl plot did not need so much focus and should've mostly been in the DLC and next games.
15:35 Wait kh3 has a Trinity Limit? How come I've never seen it? 15:54 Wait. . This thing? I've gotten this loads of times. . . This is supposed to be Trinity Limit? Truth be told, at first I was gonna just say "That's not Trinity Limit", but then I realized it's name. . Trinity Shield. . That's. . close enough, and very dissapointing.
A very good review ! I'd wish they had done more with the Black Box. They could have made the black box have requirements to unlock it, and each part they need was found in a different Disney World. This could create tension where Sora needs to stop the organisation members and Pete/Maleficent from retrieving all the items, otherwise the black box would unlock. Instead of forcing it into KH4, this box set up a potential great plot point for KH3, but unfortunately was squandered.
The tangled keyblade was fairly strong too, not to mention the element form attached to it. Cure converter caused it to flow into an infinite loop. Kh3 didn’t have trinity limit, sadly, it had trinity guard and sled.
I honestly don't enjoy the bland open world side missions route,the world size in kingdom hearts 2 was fine rather then a bunch of stretched out barren huge ones.The artstyle and character presentation is even more childish then before which is strange cause it seems like they would need to be recently influenced by all the fortnite trash,doesn't make it look like a game which spend 6 years in development,more like 3 solid years.
@@MGrey-qb5xz At this point, my trust for SE is at an all time low. If they can't finish their games, then I don't need to finish clicking the purchase button for buying their incomplete games.
Completely agree with everything here in this video and the killer critics other 3 videos on this topic, now I eagerly await Re:mind being ripped apart, and MoM too ((though MoM had great gameplay, the story angered me more than KH3, Re:mind and union combined))
Two things about this game that were completely asenine to put in for me. The first was instead of gaining the ability 2nd Chance like in the 1st and 2nd game, the replacement was a friggin coin that I had to buy from the Moogle Shop and something I couldn't buy more than one cause apparently, there's only one slot Sora can carry that can't be filled with more. The second was a stupid new mechanic that was leveling up your keyblade. In the past games, the only thing that had be leveled up was Sora himself. The keyblade was only as strong as the player was and this game not only expected you to make Sora stronger like usual, but the game wanted to make the players go out of their way to upgrade the keyblade as well which is friggin unnecessary. What happens if you don't upgrade any of the keyblades in your arsenal? Nothing, because anyone who has played the previous games before know Sora has to be leveled up to get strong and since the easy, normal and hard modes in the game are gonna be a cakewalk no matter which one is chosen, this makes leveling up keyblades further moot since there's gonna be no challenges that expects keyblades needing to be upgraded.
Just gonna say I was banking on Lightning from FF13 (since the fake DDD leak) in Twilight Town I guess and Kuzco in the Inca Empire with Yzma (RIP Eartha Kitt 😭) NOT SOME RANDOM ASS HEARTLESS as the boss battle So imagine my disappointment -_- Oh yeah this video is based btw ✌️
KH2 may have had some game breaker abilities but at least for the most part they weren't handed out like candy and at least with the final boss, you couldn't exploit him.
@@manuelcanovas5130 Even that game didn't just hand abilities out like candy since Final Form was unlocked at the end and at random(though a bit strange) only has 3 drive gauges at base level, and required 5 drive bars to use and firega chews through drives like butter. Negative combo is something I agree is WAY too broken but at least is only unlocked after you beat the secret boss. The only true game breaker I can see being too powerful is the stitch summon which also used drive gauges and using magic didn't keep the summon going although stitch did give you unlimited MP. And none of the exploits work on Final Xemnas
Nomura's daughter or someshit idk, I know that the kh writers had something similar to kh2 in mind with the story having s twist, but Disney got very anal of that og idea.
The same thing similar Dean are calamity the age Ganon in legend Zelda but how you feeling Kingdom hearts 3 wait to have an hour today don't you think I brought DLC that is the problem
Re: mind changed many things, with critical mode severely nerfing ur mp and hp u just can't smash attack to win Also sora's combat actually felt fine, now that we can cancel out of most of them it's so much more fun(however thst is if u do a NG+ cause first time players can't have those cool combos) i also wish a few keyblades in kh3 also have different combo sets without activating. Kh3 had wayyyyyyyy too much dinsey in it(considering it's end of xehanorth saga), i even enabled the pro codes to disable attraction flows. During epic fights with epic music these fucking atraction flows come with this horrible music that ruins the scenario. The keyblade graveyard playable aqua, riku, kairi and roxas also sucked so much U die so randomly during roxas fights because when u guard with him and get hit, he superarmors and won't get staggered. Aqua and ven vs vanitas and nort also sucked, ventus completly dies and both vanitas and terra-nort start to group rape u. I was so angry that i exploited aquas shotlock, kairi was decent. All of them had extremely shitty airslide except. Aside that i still love kh3, but it could've been better. Also gummi missions are godlike in this game, they are great in kh2, they are stellar in kh3
the Disney worlds now in kh3 are nothing but exposition. Kingdom hearts 1 and Kingdom hearts 2 had a reason, also yet I did get remind when it got cheap. I have yet to play it since I just beaten Final Fantasy XV after a total of four fucking years, yet I'm serious! . I will give kingdom hearts 3, the very least its not a complete let-down, Like yet it is, but its more of a missed opportunity. Final Fantasy XV is a complete disappointment! The thing about kingdom hearts 3, is that it was nothing more but a huge Tech Demo. There I said it, you know its true. The reason why its a complete Disney based game was soul was that! As for remind, i have yet to play it. I just restarted the game with critical mode, and yet it gives you the option to make the game a literal dark souls game. (I still think it makes it clunky)
I agree, 30fps makes no sense. As for the Disney world's being mostly retellings of the movies and often not telling new stories...the same could be said for many of the Disney Worlds of the Kingdom Hearts series, like the first two games (KH and KHII). Hell, if you extend past just the Disney retellings...Chain of Memories was basically a retelling of the entire first game, in a manner of speaking.
1:26 forget about the keyblade. I want her to be a full-fledged *character* first. still waiting, nomura.... 13:31 meh. I personally give next to zero shits about the disney worlds. same with FF. their relevance has been questionable since CoM. 17:28 not really. fights are situational. do you honestly expect vanitas to outclass a hulking guy like sully in pure, physical strength? vanitas likely can beat him in a fight, but escaping from that hold is another story.
13:31 But in KH3 their relevance is at an all time low and in a story that has to wrap up 10 different plotlines, there should have at least been a few KH original worlds to explore to offset that. 17:28 The problem with that is Vanitas who is skilled enough to fight Ventus, Terra, and even Aqua , but ends up being defeated in the most humiliating manner possible that ends up ruining much of the tension when he shows up again in the story and even within the lore he can and easily should just use a dark corridor to get back.
@@thekillercritic3616 okay. so it's less "what happened" and more "how it happened". understandable. I for one liked it because it re-contextualized roxas vs ansem-riku. then again, I am a borderline roxas fanboy...
@@Dreq458 Well then you're gonna like my how to fix KH3 story videos with how I handle Roxas, Ventus, Kairi, Riku, Aqua, Terra, Mickey, Axel, and Xion. Especially with Roxas.
not gonna lie, this video a year later is pretty horrible with a myriad of hypocrisies. "Ah yes KH2 is much better because it encourages Keyblade switching." Except it doesn't do anything better than KH2 because most people just choose a keyblade with higher stats like Decisive Pumpkin and Ultima. That's one example of these "complaints" about KH3 that are literally the exact same of KH2 with KH3 from your eyes. If anything KH3 promotes better keyblade switching because you can actually equal your stats among all your weapons. I agree about attraction flow but when did you use Rage Form? It doesn't matter if you don't lose your party members because KH3 has more mob fights so you're still gonna get your ass beat. Not to mention that Rage form isn't a punishment. Like you said it's risk vs reward but it's a conscious choice so it's not gonna be as bad as Anti Form. Also if you think Riku losing way to dawn misses the point then you clearly don't understand the significance of the keyblade in the first place. Way to Dawn is supposed to represent his journey on the path of dawn, by KH3 he is already a master and has gone through his arc. Him getting Braveheart is significant because it shows his progression as a character to not dwell on the past. This is even further shown when he gets a damn haircut, a literal fucking trope in story telling to show character change. Also I think it's funny how you complain about FPS when I never dealt with that problem and I was on a base PS4 and your complaint about KH2 running 30fps on the PS2 and how KH3 should run better on newer hardware it legit absolute dog shit. KH3 is a much bigger game with much more power required to run properly. That is by far the stupidest thing in this video. About Disney bosses I get you, but literally KH2 has the same percentage of bosses because you went to worlds twice. Also actually complaining about Disney and KH interactions like in Monstropolis is not only dumb but this is the same game series where Donald Duck and Goofy can curb stomp Ansem. You're looking for a problem where there is none. I agree on Arendelle, but like you get a little too heated about it. That was certainly the worst part of the game (thank Disney for that) but it's not super super horrible like you say. You actually fight a Disney boss in that world, Marshmallow, and the final boss is pretty cool not to mention I dig Elsa's castle. Also I think you uh didn't watch Frozen because Elsa never does any fighting in that movie, it's Marshmallow who protects the castle. It makes complete sense why you fight him and not Elsa even if you were supposed to in earlier versions. I don't get how it literally doesn't add anything to the story because like you said, it's a failsafe incase the Guardians failed their mission. It's written clear as stone why they're there, wdym? AND OH YES OH YES WE NEVER PLAY AS KAIRI IN BASE KH3, such a crime- Oh wait.... I think that also doesn't happen in KH2 hmm... Infact perhaps we always play as Sora in arguably shittier Disney worlds for 80% of the game in KH2... Hmmm I see a pattern here. OH OH NO, THE BOX is being mentioned? A game setting up future installments, crazy. Uh KH2 did this too, you'know that letter and Kairi's keyblade and ENTIRITY OF FINAL MIX. Infact if anything KH3 actually wraps up that plot thread by the end by revealing Xigbar to be Luxu and then him having the box. IT ACTUALLY GOES SOMEWHERE, UNLIKE KH2 WHICH LITERALLY USES THOSE SCENES TO ENTICE THE PLAYER INTO PLAYING ANOTHER GAME. You're acting like KH3 is a conclusion, but it's not and never has been. It's an arc, a well written arc of a story typically weaves plot elements from the previous and future ones into the current to keep the story feel like a complete whole rather than isolated sections. Take the Freeza arc from Dragon Ball, a staple arc in anime history. Krillin, Gohan, and Bulma go to Namek to find a new set of Dragon Ball because Piccolo died in the Saiyan arc, they run into Vegeta who is also looking for the Dragon Ball to usurp Freeza who we also learn is Vegeta's boss and now our new antagonist. At the end, Goku's fight against Freeza is used as data for Cell allowing him to tap into the super saiyan power. This is what I mean, these arcs are separate but they're also heavily connected to make on cohesive story. What would really be awkward is if all this shit was piled onto you in one game. That's not how you write an ongoing story. If anything that's your fault for expecting this to be the end of a story and not the end of an arc. In conclusion I'm not saying you can't not like the game, just that your arguments are very hypocritical
If Kingdom Hearts 3 disappointed you, that's you're own fault. Don't spend 10 years hyping something up like it was going to be the greatest thing ever made.
If i have one piece of advice: drink some water and take your time while talking. Its sometimes hard to make out words you say. Its chill i do that shit all the time but if youre recordring take your time my dude. Well watch your videos even if you slow down.
...sorry, but you rather disqualify yourself with praising 358/2 Days in terms of story... The only decent points are Riku's new keyblade and the game being too easy. But given that you refer to your Thirteen Year old self when watching initial trailers, I do assume you may not remember the fact that the much lauded Kingdom Hearts 2 came with the exact same problem: Proud mode was still pretty easy with the exception maybe of a few organization bosses if you so far had not really warmed up to reaction commands, a pure atrocity of gameplay which thankfully, all sequels did away with. ...because nothing spells fun combat like triggering prescripted cinematic moves that work only for the enemies they are designed for. And let us not forget that similar to KH 2, Kingdom Hearts 3 is getting Critical added in, through free DLC actually, unlike KH 2 where you had to wait many years until they finally deigned to give us Final Mix versions in the west. So, let us go to 30 FPS since that seemed an argument that rather sticks out... You know what also ran on 30 FPS? Darksouls 3 and Bloodborne. Yes, I would LOVE both games to have a steady 60 FPS, yes, it would be great if all action games ran on 60 FPS. But they don't. And if games like Dark Souls, which rely a lot more on very quick combat, work with 30 FPS, then, no, I do not think it is a killer argument against Kingdom Hearts 3. Also, you seriously equate Trinity Guard, a command that, unless I remember wrong, was available pretty early on, to Trinity limit, which you have to fight an optional boss for? The key issue seems to be that you somehow expected Kingdom Hearts 3 to be something none of the previous games were and then get disappointed that it was another Kingdom Hearts. Disney plots that did not contribute enough? Yeah, that was the big complaint with Kingdom Hearts 2 and even Kingdom Hearts 1 had Atlantica, Wonderland, Olympus and Halloween Town which all are skippable if you just want to see the main plot advance. Unlike Kingdom Hearts 2, where you spend half of the time with Maleficent's plots, all of which amount to more or less nothing, Kingdom Hearts 3 at least gives every world an encounter with one of the new organization. Yes, I would have liked to see all worlds contributing to Sora gaining the power of Waking and yes, I would have loved more playable Riku, but hey, at least I do not have the first world being Mulan's where nothing but the Disney plot happens at all. We also do not have the entire bifurcation of visiting the worlds twice with the second time being very lackluster for most worlds. We also actually get the interesting "council of villains" worked into the game, unlike Kingdom Hearts II, where they later patched in all those scenes showing the organization talk among themselves, which was a huge let down after Chain of Memory, where they used such scenes to great effect to drive the plot. In short, maybe take of the nostalgia glasses and enjoy the game as a sequel to Kingdom Hearts and not as an idealized version. ...after all, we all know how idealized hopes based on Trailers worked out with FF XV. And unlike that utter and complete mess, Kingdom Hearts 3 is actually pretty good.
Kh2 may have had no crit but it isn't just difficulty that plagues KH3 though, there are plenty of other reasons such as limits not being selectable, Sora's base form being crap, and form changes being completely useless aside from Second form, and counter shield(Which busts the game entirely)and while KH2 did run at 30fps KH3 has WAY more slowdown especially if you use counter shield, and while KH2 did have much filler, it at least had you explore original worlds from time to time whereas with KH3, there's no mid point or even any original worlds to explore after Twilight Town. And either way, Trinity Limit is still better than Trinity guard not only for looking absolutely awesome but because you can actually select it as long as you got the MP to back it up.
@@thekillercritic3616 ...so you complain on the one hand that counter shield is too good, but apparently have been using it so much that it made your game less fun because of the slowdown... ...weren't you just complaining that the game was way too easy? I mean, I don't know, but because things were easy, I used the one keyblade that reduced farming, not the one which was especially powerful. As to the forms, I found Element form a great improvement over KH II wisdom form in terms of being fun to use. And if you did not find any use in Wheel of Fate and it's form changes, I am honestly rather surprised. And again, when we are talking about the base form, you still seem to be forgetting that KH 2 gave us dodge roll only with Final Mix. ...which most people did not even get to play until the HD remakes came out. If you find the base form in KH III crap, I am rather struggling to see how you could laud KH II. ...especially when we are talking start of the game without many of the abilities that speed up the flow of combat. And then the worlds... Yes, I would have liked another original world, maybe a visit to Radiant Garden. We technically DO get the land of departure inbetween and the parts of the realm of Darkness, but granted, they are at best stages for boss fights. Still, when I look at the worlds in Kingdom Hearts I, II, Birth by Sleep and III, KH II is not looking very good. The game has large, empty areas with very little interaction and exploration. Worlds which in KH I actually involved platforming, small puzzles and exploring for uinterestingly placed treasure were big, boring open spaces, completely empty safe for some treasure chests scattered around with hardly any effort involved. Even Birth by Sleep had some parts where you needed a bit of abilitiy use to reach difficult spots. Kingdom Hearts III is such a huge improvement there that I really do not care that much that we get to see less non Disney worlds. I am rather going for actual quality, thank you very much. And you still seem to be missing the point that comparing your first limit with a cool end game ability is an exercise in futility. If you want to complain, then at least complain about them cutting out and end game trinity ability. And again, by the time you get it, I rather use Riku in my party and thus never got too much out of it anyway.
@@fightingmedialounge519 For some strange reason, I prefer the villains actually getting some character development and interactions.

Kingdom hearts 2 Was One Of The Best Video Games EVER MADE. When I Bought Kingdom hearts 3 I Was Hoping I Would Have That Same Magical Experience I Had When I First Played KH2 But It Juat Wasnt The Same. KH3 Is Still Good. But It Didn't Live Up To What I Had Hoped For.😥
Yeah KH3 isn’t the conclusion of the a Dark Seeker we wanted but it’s still a Great Game
i don't even think 3 is good. i was bored from start to finish and literally had to force myself to beat it. as soon as i did beat it i sold it, never wanting to look at it again. i will never play another kh game made by this team again. for me kh1, re com, and kh2 is the series, with bbs and 358 days being interesting side stories. even ddd kept me more intetested than 3 to be honest, i just couldn't find anything about 3 to like. the story in 2 kept me hooked the entire game, and i was really looking forward to it's continuation in 3, but they completely ruined it. even the story in re chain was far more compelling than 3. somehow even the voice acting in re chain was far superior. many of the characters in e, especially riku and kairi sound really awkward and robotic in 3. to me, a remake of a gba game for ps2 is somehow superior the a main entry on ps4 in every possible way, and kh1 and especially 2 just make it look like a complete joke.
@@FinalKHXIII KH3 sucked, I was so hyped for this game, played on proud mode and found the game so bare bones and boring and lacking of an actual plot that I deleted it after toy story world.
@@concisecipher1 how did it suck?
@@devanplays3509 it was boring, the enemies were repetitive and easy, you were often forced to use stupid attractions to fight with boring animations, there was no final fantasy in the game, and the hubs were pretty lackluster.
The reason kh3 combat was so floaty was because it was a different studio team. I wish they had used a better team for the combat.
Aka: Tokyo Team. The guys who made KH1 and 2 amazing.
The Killer Critic Square Enix.....honestly, what were they thinking? “Hey, let’s choose a team that makes poorly designed combat over a team that made many people love KH in the first place!” Like, really? Very stupid business tactic. They probably wanted to give Osaka Team a chance, but they obviously blew it. So hopefully this means we won’t see them often after this.
@@ultimachain8677 they've already ruined the series for me. as far as i'm concerned the series consists of the amazing trilogy of kh1, re chain, and kh2, with bbs and 358 days being decent side stories.
if the original team came back for the next game, i'd give it a chance, but i'm fairly certain they're sticking with this shit team and i will never play a game made by them again. even if they gave it to me for free i wouldn't play it. even if the combat in 3 were just like kh2, it would still be a huge disappointment because the story is complete crap 2. the first time i played re com i was shocked to find it had such a compelling story, somehow the story of a gba game completely blows away a main entry in the series on ps4. re com gets so much hate but to me it is superior to 3 in every possible way, except maybe visuals but honestly i don't even like the visual style in 3, i definitely prefer the visuals im 2 and even 1 over 3.
@@ultimachain8677 I'm pretty sure it's because they were already working on other games like FF7 remake.
I also want to point out how you have to pay another 30 BUCKS just to have any of the Guardians of Light interact

Also, Melody of memory may need a killer critic reviews
@@hyperfairy7779 What’s WORSE is that MoM, a f*cking RHYTHM game, has better gameplay and story than KH3. And its cutscenes are a literal retread of the other games
@@TakeTheWorld21 Indeed so,
I don't know how the killer critic will react to MoM, but I do think there's some things in there he won't take well, given how he reacted to charicters being sidelined in KH3 ((that's all I can say without spoilers))
You know it's serious when Rachet and Clank music is being used😂😂 12:01
Lol. I love the enthusiasm in the video.
The game is just poorly mad for so many reasons and it’s one of many games that added up and made 2019 the year I stopped gaming.
We waited like a decade and a half for a half-baked game.
Isn't that a little drastic? I get that KH3 may feel like it was never worth the hype (which I agree, 13 years and for what?) but quit gaming as a whole? There aren't any other game series you like?
@@KaiDecadence yeah it is
I'll never understand why they didn't just make Sora a Keyblade Master in Dream Drop Distance. He is the strongest character in the franchise at this point.
False, he's the weakest and most stupid character in the series, full with plot armor and incapable of doing something on his own, he does shit JUST because is the main character, NO OTHER REASON, he's weak, dumb and bland, not a master for sure, all the praise he gets is all a brainwashing from the game and by nerfing others; did you forget how many times his friends had to save him? Did you forget that he never fights on his own? Did you forget that he defeated Xemnas THANK to Riku? Did you forget that he fell to darkness so easily in DDD and RIKU had to save him (while Aqua remained in the ROD and even WITHOUT a keyblade was able to get up in the dark margin ON HER OWN)? Did you forget that AT THE END of KH3 he wasn't even able to fight a demon tide on his own in the ROL (while Aqua did in the ROD on HER OWN)? Did you forget that he was KILLED by xehanort? the only reason why he defeated him was because of Donald and Goofy; All the other character were nerfed to the ground to make him shine, IT'S SO OBVIOUS, do you really think that Riku and Mickey gets defeated by a single demon tower, when Riku defeated Ansem, young Xehanort and also save sora in DDD? Do you really think that Aqua is so weak that is not capable of doing anything, when she survived in her own in the ROD for more than 10 years and fights many enemies on HER OWN? Dod you remember how she was in BBS? This is not Aqua, this is just a puppet being used to make Sora shine, the REAL Aqua is powerful, ferocious, aggressive, determinated, noble, sensitive and yet very flawed making her human. I could keep going, but i have no time to discuss with some stupid and blind Sora fanboy who cannot see that their favorite character is the weakest and dumb shit in the entire gaming history.
@@tatianaa6833 Dude fanboy? Really!?
And I'm sorry, I stopped giving a shit about Canon is this franchise after 2. So I have no interest in reading a wall of text that relates to Nomara's writing habits.
And I'm sorry, but please leave me alone. I don't consider myself a fan boy of anything Kingdom Hearts outside of gameplay.
actually riku was the strongest in ddd, at least mentally. i liked sora in kh1, re com, and kh2, but they ruined his character after 2. i mean kh3 pretty much ruined everyone's characters. kairi toughened up at the end of 2 and axel becomes a keyblade wielder and it was all for nothing because in 3 they decide to make everyone but sora entirely useless. i will never play a game made by this team again, kh3 ruined the series for me and as far as i'm concerned it doesn't even exist, the series ends with 2.
@@Jack_80 KH 3 Sora is disappointing, He takes everybody's crap even from those he defeated in the first 3 games. He beat pete twice and pete mocks him in KH 3, He puts up with yen sids nonsense over and over. DDD was the game that made me begin losing Interest in this series story.
@@Jack_80 and when neku betrayed him in DDD and sora's like "aww you betrayed me but you had your reason"
re com honestly became nearly as good as kh1 and 2 to me once i mastered the game. it took me 3 seperate attempts to actually get into the game and i was shocked by how amazing it actually is. there is a lot of customization and a ton of different moves you can do. for example i often have 3 cloud cards in my deck, and you can do 3 separate moves with cloud, and i'm assuming it's the same with nearly every summon card, and there are a lot of them. on top of that you have a huge number of sleights, it probably has more possible different attacks than any other kh game.
i was also shocked by how amazing the story and voice acting are in re com. the story kept me hooked the entire game just as much as 2, and far more than 3 that never once got me interested. even the voice acting in re chain is drastically superior to 3, i just don't get how any kh fan can hate on re chain but like 3. 3 is one of the most boring games i've ever played in my life, but re com kept me hooked the entire game.
Cutting final fantasy characters from a main kingdom hearts game was a fucking bone head move.
Long comment. Just letting you know.
3:41: I honestly remembered that even a 11 year old me didn't find the game that hard, compared to KH1. It changed when I played the Final Mix version, but I don't know if it was me sucking more at the game now or if the Final Mix version is harder than the OG version.
8:31: I remembered thinking that Olympus was a pretty good introduction to the game when 1st playing, but as I progressed through the game, I ended up noticing that major plot problems in that world's story ended up coming back with a vengeance in the later worlds. Why did Hades just stand around and let the Titans fight Sora and the gang with Hercules when he knew that both Sora and Hercules are major pains for him at that point? In the movie, he made sure that Hercules wouldn't sabotage his plan with the Titans by having his powers drained. Where was that Hades in this game?
8:50: Honestly, Riku and Mickey's whole journey into the Realm of Darkness could've given us a sneak peak into it early in the game and then later turn into the whole 2nd Act. Having them come back to Yen Sid because they forgot to get stronger keyblades like they're freaking replaceable tires and then go back the realm is really stupid. 9:21: They honestly could've just calibrated the boss's stats and A.I. to match with the level you're in for the other characters. 9:41: You pretty much summarized everything wrong with having real Keyblades be randomly breakable 9 games into this franchise. If Tetsuya wanted to have them breakable, it should've been considered way earlier. 10:39: I just call the Power of Waking the Power of Padding.
11:28: To be frank, I never liked the way the Replica Program was used in 3, which hampered my enjoyment of the Toy Story world's plot.
13:41: While playing a dating sim with Sora and Rapunzel was interesting, it really messes with her chemistry with Flynn in this game. You probably could've just axed him and have Sora replace him, though he and Rapunzel can't obviously a couple for obvious reasons.
16:38: I loved the Monsters Inc world, but God, that Vanitas scene was terrible, as it really defanged him as a threat.
17:55: The Game Theory video for the Frozen world actually makes the world even worse than it already was.
19:55: The whole bit with Kairi and Axel training and being in Radiant Garden could've served as the tutorial and be its own section of the game, with Kairi and Axel doing stuff with Leon and the gang and then 1 more fight with each other to prep them for the final battle.
20:19: the whole Winnie the Pooh world felt really pointless in this one, and the whole bit with Aqua felt completely mishandled, which extends to the secret ending in BBS. Yeah, the "mystery" girl plot did not need so much focus and should've mostly been in the DLC and next games.
His name is Lea now.
dude trying to say that Trinity Guard is KH3's Trinity limit lmao
15:35
Wait kh3 has a Trinity Limit? How come I've never seen it?
15:54
Wait. . This thing? I've gotten this loads of times. . . This is supposed to be Trinity Limit?
Truth be told, at first I was gonna just say "That's not Trinity Limit", but then I realized it's name. . Trinity Shield. . That's. . close enough, and very dissapointing.
A very good review !
I'd wish they had done more with the Black Box. They could have made the black box have requirements to unlock it, and each part they need was found in a different Disney World. This could create tension where Sora needs to stop the organisation members and Pete/Maleficent from retrieving all the items, otherwise the black box would unlock. Instead of forcing it into KH4, this box set up a potential great plot point for KH3, but unfortunately was squandered.
I completely agree with all of this.
The tangled keyblade was fairly strong too, not to mention the element form attached to it.
Cure converter caused it to flow into an infinite loop.
Kh3 didn’t have trinity limit, sadly, it had trinity guard and sled.
I honestly don't enjoy the bland open world side missions route,the world size in kingdom hearts 2 was fine rather then a bunch of stretched out barren huge ones.The artstyle and character presentation is even more childish then before which is strange cause it seems like they would need to be recently influenced by all the fortnite trash,doesn't make it look like a game which spend 6 years in development,more like 3 solid years.
KH3: KH2 if it was painfully mediocre.
@@thekillercritic3616 couldn't put it better myself,hopefully the ff7 remake doesn't meet the same fate.
@@MGrey-qb5xz At this point, my trust for SE is at an all time low. If they can't finish their games, then I don't need to finish clicking the purchase button for buying their incomplete games.
My opinion: where the hell is the story?????????
Proud Mode was easy save for the final boss
Completely agree with everything here in this video and the killer critics other 3 videos on this topic, now I eagerly await Re:mind being ripped apart, and MoM too ((though MoM had great gameplay, the story angered me more than KH3, Re:mind and union combined))
Two things about this game that were completely asenine to put in for me. The first was instead of gaining the ability 2nd Chance like in the 1st and 2nd game, the replacement was a friggin coin that I had to buy from the Moogle Shop and something I couldn't buy more than one cause apparently, there's only one slot Sora can carry that can't be filled with more. The second was a stupid new mechanic that was leveling up your keyblade. In the past games, the only thing that had be leveled up was Sora himself. The keyblade was only as strong as the player was and this game not only expected you to make Sora stronger like usual, but the game wanted to make the players go out of their way to upgrade the keyblade as well which is friggin unnecessary. What happens if you don't upgrade any of the keyblades in your arsenal? Nothing, because anyone who has played the previous games before know Sora has to be leveled up to get strong and since the easy, normal and hard modes in the game are gonna be a cakewalk no matter which one is chosen, this makes leveling up keyblades further moot since there's gonna be no challenges that expects keyblades needing to be upgraded.
They better fix all these issues in KH4.
Well to be fair, Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance didn't had too much disney villains bosses.
KH1 was the best of the franchise, don't at me.
Just gonna say I was banking on Lightning from FF13 (since the fake DDD leak) in Twilight Town I guess and Kuzco in the Inca Empire with Yzma (RIP Eartha Kitt 😭) NOT SOME RANDOM ASS HEARTLESS as the boss battle
So imagine my disappointment -_-
Oh yeah this video is based btw ✌️
My biggest issue was the fact it was wayyyyy to easy
KH2 may have had some game breaker abilities but at least for the most part they weren't handed out like candy and at least with the final boss, you couldn't exploit him.
@@thekillercritic3616 probaby you didnt play base Kh2, cause was way easier than Kh2 final mix
@@manuelcanovas5130 Even that game didn't just hand abilities out like candy since Final Form was unlocked at the end and at random(though a bit strange) only has 3 drive gauges at base level, and required 5 drive bars to use and firega chews through drives like butter. Negative combo is something I agree is WAY too broken but at least is only unlocked after you beat the secret boss. The only true game breaker I can see being too powerful is the stitch summon which also used drive gauges and using magic didn't keep the summon going although stitch did give you unlimited MP. And none of the exploits work on Final Xemnas
Remind did make the game balls hard, but the damaged is already done.
At leas data fights surpass KH2 easily in difficulty
I'm fucking pissed off that we didn't get a Nightmare Before Christmas level. It was always my favorite level.
It was always my least favorite level, but I’d still rather have that than tangled or frozen levels.
Okay seriously why the fuck was Frozen even in Kingdom hearts 3.
disney demanded it, I guess
They needed to torture us with a new musical world to visit so i guess Frozen got the winning number
Nomura's daughter or someshit idk, I know that the kh writers had something similar to kh2 in mind with the story having s twist, but Disney got very anal of that og idea.
We want bring Tokyo Team back. All of five million of us!
best series ever made,
The same thing similar Dean are calamity the age Ganon in legend Zelda but how you feeling Kingdom hearts 3 wait to have an hour today don't you think I brought DLC that is the problem
I liked hearing your thoughts
Dark buzz should have been a boss
Re: mind changed many things, with critical mode severely nerfing ur mp and hp u just can't smash attack to win
Also sora's combat actually felt fine, now that we can cancel out of most of them it's so much more fun(however thst is if u do a NG+ cause first time players can't have those cool combos) i also wish a few keyblades in kh3 also have different combo sets without activating. Kh3 had wayyyyyyyy too much dinsey in it(considering it's end of xehanorth saga), i even enabled the pro codes to disable attraction flows. During epic fights with epic music these fucking atraction flows come with this horrible music that ruins the scenario.
The keyblade graveyard playable aqua, riku, kairi and roxas also sucked so much
U die so randomly during roxas fights because when u guard with him and get hit, he superarmors and won't get staggered. Aqua and ven vs vanitas and nort also sucked, ventus completly dies and both vanitas and terra-nort start to group rape u. I was so angry that i exploited aquas shotlock, kairi was decent. All of them had extremely shitty airslide except. Aside that i still love kh3, but it could've been better. Also gummi missions are godlike in this game, they are great in kh2, they are stellar in kh3
4:30 & 6:07 name of soundtrack
the Disney worlds now in kh3 are nothing but exposition. Kingdom hearts 1 and Kingdom hearts 2 had a reason, also yet I did get remind when it got cheap. I have yet to play it since I just beaten Final Fantasy XV after a total of four fucking years, yet I'm serious! . I will give kingdom hearts 3, the very least its not a complete let-down, Like yet it is, but its more of a missed opportunity. Final Fantasy XV is a complete disappointment!
The thing about kingdom hearts 3, is that it was nothing more but a huge Tech Demo. There I said it, you know its true. The reason why its a complete Disney based game was soul was that! As for remind, i have yet to play it. I just restarted the game with critical mode, and yet it gives you the option to make the game a literal dark souls game. (I still think it makes it clunky)
Waited like 15 years for a 12 hour game!
Don't have high expectations next time bro
I agree, 30fps makes no sense. As for the Disney world's being mostly retellings of the movies and often not telling new stories...the same could be said for many of the Disney Worlds of the Kingdom Hearts series, like the first two games (KH and KHII). Hell, if you extend past just the Disney retellings...Chain of Memories was basically a retelling of the entire first game, in a manner of speaking.
I love kingdom hearts 3
I understand if you love it and I'm glad you can enjoy it.
Wish I could say the same
1:26 forget about the keyblade. I want her to be a full-fledged *character* first. still waiting, nomura....
13:31 meh. I personally give next to zero shits about the disney worlds. same with FF. their relevance has been questionable since CoM.
17:28 not really. fights are situational. do you honestly expect vanitas to outclass a hulking guy like sully in pure, physical strength? vanitas likely can beat him in a fight, but escaping from that hold is another story.
13:31 But in KH3 their relevance is at an all time low and in a story that has to wrap up 10 different plotlines, there should have at least been a few KH original worlds to explore to offset that.
17:28 The problem with that is Vanitas who is skilled enough to fight Ventus, Terra, and even Aqua , but ends up being defeated in the most humiliating manner possible that ends up ruining much of the tension when he shows up again in the story and even within the lore he can and easily should just use a dark corridor to get back.
@@thekillercritic3616 okay. so it's less "what happened" and more "how it happened". understandable.
I for one liked it because it re-contextualized roxas vs ansem-riku. then again, I am a borderline roxas fanboy...
@@Dreq458 Well then you're gonna like my how to fix KH3 story videos with how I handle Roxas, Ventus, Kairi, Riku, Aqua, Terra, Mickey, Axel, and Xion. Especially with Roxas.
Can see why you have 200 subs
😍i loved this . Funny
not gonna lie, this video a year later is pretty horrible with a myriad of hypocrisies. "Ah yes KH2 is much better because it encourages Keyblade switching." Except it doesn't do anything better than KH2 because most people just choose a keyblade with higher stats like Decisive Pumpkin and Ultima. That's one example of these "complaints" about KH3 that are literally the exact same of KH2 with KH3 from your eyes. If anything KH3 promotes better keyblade switching because you can actually equal your stats among all your weapons. I agree about attraction flow but when did you use Rage Form? It doesn't matter if you don't lose your party members because KH3 has more mob fights so you're still gonna get your ass beat. Not to mention that Rage form isn't a punishment. Like you said it's risk vs reward but it's a conscious choice so it's not gonna be as bad as Anti Form. Also if you think Riku losing way to dawn misses the point then you clearly don't understand the significance of the keyblade in the first place. Way to Dawn is supposed to represent his journey on the path of dawn, by KH3 he is already a master and has gone through his arc. Him getting Braveheart is significant because it shows his progression as a character to not dwell on the past. This is even further shown when he gets a damn haircut, a literal fucking trope in story telling to show character change. Also I think it's funny how you complain about FPS when I never dealt with that problem and I was on a base PS4 and your complaint about KH2 running 30fps on the PS2 and how KH3 should run better on newer hardware it legit absolute dog shit. KH3 is a much bigger game with much more power required to run properly. That is by far the stupidest thing in this video. About Disney bosses I get you, but literally KH2 has the same percentage of bosses because you went to worlds twice. Also actually complaining about Disney and KH interactions like in Monstropolis is not only dumb but this is the same game series where Donald Duck and Goofy can curb stomp Ansem. You're looking for a problem where there is none. I agree on Arendelle, but like you get a little too heated about it. That was certainly the worst part of the game (thank Disney for that) but it's not super super horrible like you say. You actually fight a Disney boss in that world, Marshmallow, and the final boss is pretty cool not to mention I dig Elsa's castle. Also I think you uh didn't watch Frozen because Elsa never does any fighting in that movie, it's Marshmallow who protects the castle. It makes complete sense why you fight him and not Elsa even if you were supposed to in earlier versions. I don't get how it literally doesn't add anything to the story because like you said, it's a failsafe incase the Guardians failed their mission. It's written clear as stone why they're there, wdym? AND OH YES OH YES WE NEVER PLAY AS KAIRI IN BASE KH3, such a crime- Oh wait.... I think that also doesn't happen in KH2 hmm... Infact perhaps we always play as Sora in arguably shittier Disney worlds for 80% of the game in KH2... Hmmm I see a pattern here. OH OH NO, THE BOX is being mentioned? A game setting up future installments, crazy. Uh KH2 did this too, you'know that letter and Kairi's keyblade and ENTIRITY OF FINAL MIX. Infact if anything KH3 actually wraps up that plot thread by the end by revealing Xigbar to be Luxu and then him having the box. IT ACTUALLY GOES SOMEWHERE, UNLIKE KH2 WHICH LITERALLY USES THOSE SCENES TO ENTICE THE PLAYER INTO PLAYING ANOTHER GAME. You're acting like KH3 is a conclusion, but it's not and never has been. It's an arc, a well written arc of a story typically weaves plot elements from the previous and future ones into the current to keep the story feel like a complete whole rather than isolated sections. Take the Freeza arc from Dragon Ball, a staple arc in anime history. Krillin, Gohan, and Bulma go to Namek to find a new set of Dragon Ball because Piccolo died in the Saiyan arc, they run into Vegeta who is also looking for the Dragon Ball to usurp Freeza who we also learn is Vegeta's boss and now our new antagonist. At the end, Goku's fight against Freeza is used as data for Cell allowing him to tap into the super saiyan power. This is what I mean, these arcs are separate but they're also heavily connected to make on cohesive story. What would really be awkward is if all this shit was piled onto you in one game. That's not how you write an ongoing story. If anything that's your fault for expecting this to be the end of a story and not the end of an arc. In conclusion I'm not saying you can't not like the game, just that your arguments are very hypocritical
You two guys are done circle jerking and making strawman? When you're done and you want to be intellectually honest just let us know, mmm kay?
What happened to this game?!
Everything....on the next episode of what happun.
Yet another person who can't get over their nostalgia for KH1 & 2.
Yet another person who thinks comparing ps2 games to a ps4 game that's worse is insane.
If Kingdom Hearts 3 disappointed you, that's you're own fault. Don't spend 10 years hyping something up like it was going to be the greatest thing ever made.
Horrible opinion. Game should have been much better.
Game was ass. Stfu
It's almost like people expected a game in development for 6 years and hyped for 10 to take massive steps to the formula it has created.
It wasnt hype, I just wanted something that was as good as kh2
Imagine defending a game that fails to beat out a ps2 game that's over 10 years old.
If i have one piece of advice: drink some water and take your time while talking. Its sometimes hard to make out words you say. Its chill i do that shit all the time but if youre recordring take your time my dude. Well watch your videos even if you slow down.
...sorry, but you rather disqualify yourself with praising 358/2 Days in terms of story...
The only decent points are Riku's new keyblade and the game being too easy.
But given that you refer to your Thirteen Year old self when watching initial trailers, I do assume you may not remember the fact that the much lauded Kingdom Hearts 2 came with the exact same problem: Proud mode was still pretty easy with the exception maybe of a few organization bosses if you so far had not really warmed up to reaction commands, a pure atrocity of gameplay which thankfully, all sequels did away with.
...because nothing spells fun combat like triggering prescripted cinematic moves that work only for the enemies they are designed for.
And let us not forget that similar to KH 2, Kingdom Hearts 3 is getting Critical added in, through free DLC actually, unlike KH 2 where you had to wait many years until they finally deigned to give us Final Mix versions in the west.
So, let us go to 30 FPS since that seemed an argument that rather sticks out...
You know what also ran on 30 FPS?
Darksouls 3 and Bloodborne.
Yes, I would LOVE both games to have a steady 60 FPS, yes, it would be great if all action games ran on 60 FPS.
But they don't.
And if games like Dark Souls, which rely a lot more on very quick combat, work with 30 FPS, then, no, I do not think it is a killer argument against Kingdom Hearts 3.
Also, you seriously equate Trinity Guard, a command that, unless I remember wrong, was available pretty early on, to Trinity limit, which you have to fight an optional boss for?
The key issue seems to be that you somehow expected Kingdom Hearts 3 to be something none of the previous games were and then get disappointed that it was another Kingdom Hearts.
Disney plots that did not contribute enough? Yeah, that was the big complaint with Kingdom Hearts 2 and even Kingdom Hearts 1 had Atlantica, Wonderland, Olympus and Halloween Town which all are skippable if you just want to see the main plot advance.
Unlike Kingdom Hearts 2, where you spend half of the time with Maleficent's plots, all of which amount to more or less nothing, Kingdom Hearts 3 at least gives every world an encounter with one of the new organization.
Yes, I would have liked to see all worlds contributing to Sora gaining the power of Waking and yes, I would have loved more playable Riku, but hey, at least I do not have the first world being Mulan's where nothing but the Disney plot happens at all.
We also do not have the entire bifurcation of visiting the worlds twice with the second time being very lackluster for most worlds.
We also actually get the interesting "council of villains" worked into the game, unlike Kingdom Hearts II, where they later patched in all those scenes showing the organization talk among themselves, which was a huge let down after Chain of Memory, where they used such scenes to great effect to drive the plot.
In short, maybe take of the nostalgia glasses and enjoy the game as a sequel to Kingdom Hearts and not as an idealized version.
...after all, we all know how idealized hopes based on Trailers worked out with FF XV.
And unlike that utter and complete mess, Kingdom Hearts 3 is actually pretty good.
Kh2 may have had no crit but it isn't just difficulty that plagues KH3 though, there are plenty of other reasons such as limits not being selectable, Sora's base form being crap, and form changes being completely useless aside from Second form, and counter shield(Which busts the game entirely)and while KH2 did run at 30fps KH3 has WAY more slowdown especially if you use counter shield, and while KH2 did have much filler, it at least had you explore original worlds from time to time whereas with KH3, there's no mid point or even any original worlds to explore after Twilight Town. And either way, Trinity Limit is still better than Trinity guard not only for looking absolutely awesome but because you can actually select it as long as you got the MP to back it up.
@@thekillercritic3616 ...so you complain on the one hand that counter shield is too good, but apparently have been using it so much that it made your game less fun because of the slowdown...
...weren't you just complaining that the game was way too easy?
I mean, I don't know, but because things were easy, I used the one keyblade that reduced farming, not the one which was especially powerful.
As to the forms, I found Element form a great improvement over KH II wisdom form in terms of being fun to use. And if you did not find any use in Wheel of Fate and it's form changes, I am honestly rather surprised.
And again, when we are talking about the base form, you still seem to be forgetting that KH 2 gave us dodge roll only with Final Mix.
...which most people did not even get to play until the HD remakes came out.
If you find the base form in KH III crap, I am rather struggling to see how you could laud KH II.
...especially when we are talking start of the game without many of the abilities that speed up the flow of combat.
And then the worlds...
Yes, I would have liked another original world, maybe a visit to Radiant Garden.
We technically DO get the land of departure inbetween and the parts of the realm of Darkness, but granted, they are at best stages for boss fights.
Still, when I look at the worlds in Kingdom Hearts I, II, Birth by Sleep and III, KH II is not looking very good.
The game has large, empty areas with very little interaction and exploration.
Worlds which in KH I actually involved platforming, small puzzles and exploring for uinterestingly placed treasure were big, boring open spaces, completely empty safe for some treasure chests scattered around with hardly any effort involved.
Even Birth by Sleep had some parts where you needed a bit of abilitiy use to reach difficult spots.
Kingdom Hearts III is such a huge improvement there that I really do not care that much that we get to see less non Disney worlds.
I am rather going for actual quality, thank you very much.
And you still seem to be missing the point that comparing your first limit with a cool end game ability is an exercise in futility.
If you want to complain, then at least complain about them cutting out and end game trinity ability.
And again, by the time you get it, I rather use Riku in my party and thus never got too much out of it anyway.
Except the villans in this game are far worse then in 2 since they've adopted the ddd formula.
@@fightingmedialounge519 For some strange reason, I prefer the villains actually getting some character development and interactions.
The organization members in Chain of Memories had lots of that, those in Kingdom Hearts 2 vanilla had hardly any.
Kingdom Hearts 3 went at least closer to what we used to get, so I take that as a definite improvement.
@@malus1469 except they didn't get development, they either got retconns or to quote mr protagonist himself, spouted some vauge mumbo jumbo and then disappeared.
