Topic	Kingdom Hearts lore is mostly pretty boring tbh (spoilers)
ParanoidObsessive 06/25/20 10:40:44 AM #12:	I find most of the KH lore to be more stupid than boring. It's like, here's a game that people loved because it combined beloved Final Fantasy characters with Disney characters (and let's be honest, 80% of the appeal was the Disney parts) in a plot that is only thinly-fleshed out to justify all the crossover, and then it kind of morphs over time into Nomura's weird deranged fanfiction about characters I don't even remotely give a shit about doing things I have to play 47 side games to really understand, with the Final Fantasy characters mostly phased out and the Disney characters almost becoming secondary to all the nonsense bullshit. It feels like the franchise was great in KH1, still worthwhile in KH2 (but already starting to show cracks, because Chain of Memories was weird, and not even on the same console as its parent games), and then leapt straight off a cliff into inanity. It's a large part of why I wasn't even remotely interested in KH3. PK_Spam posted... So why do people like it so much? I feel like most of the people who legit enjoy it are mostly doing so because they're still clinging to the Disney nostalgia in spite of all the other stuff. Or really enjoy the gameplay, but are doing their best to ignore most of the plot (I've outright heard people say this, or things like it). I also think there's a lot of the fanbase who just loved KH1 and KH2 who sort of feel obligated in a way to enjoy KH3 (because gamers, in general, are masochists, and will often suffer through franchises we once loved but which have now betrayed us - see also Halo fans, CoD fans, and Mass Effect fans). There's also always going to be the rabid knot of fans who actively followed the franchise through all the GBA titles and DS titles who are deeply invested in the NOMURA LORE, who love all the same shit that people like you and I are rolling our eyes at. Which is fine, and congrats to them, but it does mean I will never, ever be able to relate to them or their opinions when discussing the game. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:941233563] in Kingdom He...
