Mica
Alright, so. Like.
Mica
Why
ready to rook
so fan favs can come back in the next game
Mica
puts head down on table
Mica
fine
Mica
whatever
Mica
who cares
Mica
lo though i walk through the valley of dumb, i shall not fear, ect
zombees
Nomura wrote himself into a corner
zombees
God, where was that "now am I describing Homestuck or Kingdom Hearts" post...
zombees
oh good, I did reblog it
departed 👻
kingdom hearts: endgame
My Knee
Mica
has nomura considered that his story was too stupid
Mica
and the corner was stupid
Mica
and he could have just written a normal-ass story
Mica
or pretended he had
Mica
he didn't need to do this
Mica
this was wholly unnecessary
My Knee
kh hasn't been normal-ass anything since kh1, this is just the series embracing its truest self
Mica
well he could at least have spared me having to play Chain of Memories and Re:Coded
My Knee
(the funny thing is time travel is unnecessary to bringing back most of the faves next game anyway)
Mica
THAT'S NOT FUNNY AT ALL
My Knee
"funny"
Mica
My Knee
Sora be like 
My Knee
Anyway DDD rules and was worth the purchase for no other reason than that Sora-Roxas conversation
Mica
I'm not up to that point you god damn spoiler
My Knee
....dammit
My Knee
Sorry!
My Knee
I guess I misremembered when the time travel stuff was confirmed
Mica
I am enjoying the shipping, I won't lie
Puter Spae
I love this shitshow of a series
Puter Spae
It's so fucking DUMB
Puter Spae
but also Axel is my son
Mica
the characters and their interactions
Mica
are definitely the strongest part
Mica
there is also a lot of good to say about the spectacle
ready to rook
what are you guys talking about 3D is the best because it's the gayest.
ready to rook
there is so much gay over that entire game
Mica
I already complimented the amount of gay in this game
ready to rook
riku's play style is summed up as: he merges with the dreameaters, he zooms around using darkness, and he stops every two seconds to wax poetically about how great sora is.
ready to rook
XD
ready to rook
YES
ready to rook
Mica
Riku's writing poetry about how redemption arc, and Sora
ᴄᴀᴘᴛᴀɪɴ ᴛᴇᴀᴠɪ
it is INCREDIBLY dumb
Mica
Sora's just like, doing his nine-to-five
Mica
and getting mugged by time-traveling voldemorts
Mica
horcruxes
Mica
or whatever the FUCK if even going on
Mica
like seriosuly dude you didn't have to include time travel
Mica
you could have just
ᴄᴀᴘᴛᴀɪɴ ᴛᴇᴀᴠɪ
NOPE
Mica
YOU COULD HAVE TOLD US ANYTHING
ᴄᴀᴘᴛᴀɪɴ ᴛᴇᴀᴠɪ
nomura is a garbage storyteller tbh
Mica
and it would have made better sense!!!
ᴄᴀᴘᴛᴀɪɴ ᴛᴇᴀᴠɪ
he comes up with interesting ideas but half the time his narrative process sucks
Mica
only half?
ᴄᴀᴘᴛᴀɪɴ ᴛᴇᴀᴠɪ
I was being generous but it's definitely most
Mica
"dreams within dreams darkness within darkness"
Mica
I am getting
Mica
very tired
Mica
EY YO YEN SID
Mica
YEN
Mica
DOES THIS MARK OF MASTERY BULLSHIT HAVE LIKE
Mica
ANY STANDARDS
Mica
OR DO YOU "MASTERS" JUST MAKE SHIT UP
Mica
AND HOPE PEOPLE DON'T DIE
Mica
because im not gonna lieeeeee but this is all stupid bullshit and i feel like u shouldn't be in charge
My Knee
you gotta remember: yen sid is a terrible master/teacher/basically everything
Mica
it seems to me that there are no good or useful authority figures
Mica
even minnie yeets people into space for not being reasonably polite
Mica
oh my god this dialogue is so useless
Mica
HOW MANY PHASES
Mica
DOES THIS FIGHT HAVE
Mica
ANSEM
Mica
UR NOT EVEN REAL ANYMORE
Mica
Like, isn't this whole four-phase fight just
Mica
like
Mica
a really absurd depiction of Riku thinking "maybe i can use darkness to wake sora up........nah that's dumb"
Mica
like, isn't this dude just the guy's heartless so we killed it so now regular xehanort is alive so this dude isn't even a real thing anymore????
Mica
isn't that the fucking canon here?
ᴄᴀᴘᴛᴀɪɴ ᴛᴇᴀᴠɪ
kh and its multiple phase boss fights 
Mica
""""""canon""""""
ᴄᴀᴘᴛᴀɪɴ ᴛᴇᴀᴠɪ
NAH
ᴄᴀᴘᴛᴀɪɴ ᴛᴇᴀᴠɪ
nomura establishes something and then fucking obliterates it
ᴄᴀᴘᴛᴀɪɴ ᴛᴇᴀᴠɪ
"it works like this except when it doesn't"
ᴄᴀᴘᴛᴀɪɴ ᴛᴇᴀᴠɪ
when it suits me to break the rules to make up for shit that either isn't necessary OR to back out of something I fucked up earlier
Mica
god damn it
Mica
look as someone who has been doing this for a while and is fully committed to completion and will continue to be invested
Mica
i think i am, as a fan and someone with no less than six fanfiction tabs open on the subject at this very moment
Mica
qualified to hold the following opinion:
Mica
I hate Kingdom Hearts
Mica
I hate it so much. I'm so tired. Let's keep going.
My Knee
the really infuriating thing is we can't fully criticize him for making up random bullshit after the fact because sometimes the random bullshit is really good
ᴄᴀᴘᴛᴀɪɴ ᴛᴇᴀᴠɪ
I've been marinating in salt over KH3 for 5 months and I'm just angry at everything he's been involved with anymore
Mica
u know what, I'm still mad about mass effect stuff many years later so
Mica
I feel that feeling
Mica
You can only feel this particular kind of hatred when you like something quite a lot
ᴄᴀᴘᴛᴀɪɴ ᴛᴇᴀᴠɪ
I love KH but I am SO MAD about A LOT OF IT
ᴄᴀᴘᴛᴀɪɴ ᴛᴇᴀᴠɪ
I can't even enjoy it anymore at this point even if I wanted to go back and play stuff again I just can't right now
Mica
okay so
Mica
'm going to say something positive
Mica
because the darkness/light dichotomy is done so poorly in this series despite being some kind of central conciet
Mica
but here's a controversial opinion
Mica
As contrived and needlessly confusing as Sora containing/being composed of/having horcruxes that are like six other characters is....
Mica
I think it works. Like, it could definitely be both done better and justified better and also not be so....like that. But. It is definitely rich ground upon which to sow and I think it's the kind of thing I'd try to preserve if I were going to play "Script Doctor" on this stupid story
My Knee
I enjoy the fridge horror the concept brings with it
ᴄᴀᴘᴛᴀɪɴ ᴛᴇᴀᴠɪ
it's the execution of some concepts rather than the concepts themselves that bother me sometimes, honestly
Mica
okay so
Mica
if you have an "x" mark on your clothing, Xehanort can just track you through all of time and space is that what we're saying here
Mica
is that the canon
Mica
does he just have "my name is on it so its mine" with the entire concept of non-parallel lines
Mica
as a fucking universal function
Mica
this fucking series is so, so stupid, this game sucks, i hate kingdom hearts
Mica
THE LORE OF THIS STORY IS LIKE THE RULES OF CALVINBALL
Mica
oh my god the time travel is so stupid
Mica
I'll say this about Xehanort: At least he's always willing to take ten minutes out of his day for an educational lecture.
My Knee
KH3 makes the time travel a little easier to understand but that didn't help us for years
Mica
update: I hate Yen Sid more than ever
Mica
Yen Sid: "Sora was actually unlocking worlds, but Riku was only doing it in dreams so.......Riku's the one who counts most."
My Knee
I like the end result storywise but also: fuck Yen Sid
Mica
I think maybe the most infuriating thing about the time travel is that it's here seemingly for no reason. Like there's this whole Doctor Who style milti-timeline meetup but then we just end it with Xehanort going "Well that was kinda pointless and did nothing. Oh well, bye see you next game!"
Mica
second update: Axel is best boy
My Knee
it was so we could absolutely blow the lid off the maximum drama containers by having Xemnas and Ansem in scenes together
Mica
I feel like we could have had that without using the words "time" and "travel" in the same phrase
My Knee
I'm sure he could have come up with another reason
Mica
DOES KAIRI GET TO BE A PART OF THE FUCKING STORY NOW
Mica
I MIGHT FORGIVE YEN SID IF HE CAN JUST GIVE KAIRI A FUCKING JOB SMACKING SHIT WITH A KEYBLADE
ᴄᴀᴘᴛᴀɪɴ ᴛᴇᴀᴠɪ
MMMMMMM
Mica
That number of "M" means
Mica
no
Mica
no kairi doesn't get to do cool things or be part of the story
Mica
cool
Mica
coool coool cool cool coo great so cool
Mica
awesome
Mica
great
Mica
cool
Mica
ᴄᴀᴘᴛᴀɪɴ ᴛᴇᴀᴠɪ
Setting you up with some Expectations for 3
Mica
I don't want these expectations, expectations are stupid
ᴄᴀᴘᴛᴀɪɴ ᴛᴇᴀᴠɪ
trying to spare you some HURT
Mica
ok fair
ᴄᴀᴘᴛᴀɪɴ ᴛᴇᴀᴠɪ
because I'm still bitter
