I guess I'm weird in that I don't mind slow-paced prologues. I don't have a problem with Persona 4's either.

Sounds like you should play DQ VII...!

(Though they streamlined it in the 3DS version)

"I'll be there to always bring you back!"

"The Roxas I know is long gone"

Axel is the king of double speak...!

This stuff is pretty realistic when it comes to friendships though

How many people have you said something like that to in highschool or whatever, and then 5-10 years later everything is different and you barely even recognize them anymore?

Ever since KH1 the game has always been about the power of friendship, but also the fragility
---

don't forget the memorization
---

oh and Riku and his stinky darkness
---

I guess you don't believe in retcons
---

I flip flop on Riku and Roxas being my top character. Aqua is always at a very strong #3 though.
---

great top 3!

I mean Square clearly retconned some stuff when they realized Roxas was a popular character and decided to do more with him

which I'm totally fine with
---

I was mostly referring to foolmo try to pass it off as intentional writing.

Retcons are inevitable in a series like this.
---

well you can spin it to make it seem like less of a retcon
---

They don't really try that hard.

Riku asking Mickey why he didn't mention Aqua until just before 3 is pretty hilarious. Plus the whole Goofy and Donald being very familiar with the keyblade long before KH1.
---

people forget stuff in Kingdom Hearts all the time
---

Axel must be very frustrated
---

My kids like it cause it's for kids

They also like pokemon and hello kitty
---

1. Roxas
2. Xion
3. Axel

Best part of the series

What's great is that apparently Aqua was RIGHT there during the ending of Kingdom Hearts the whole time and was just off-screen. Oh, and how a bunch of Heartless randomly destroy Mickey's shirt with magic for no reason.
---

The shirt thing is the greatest
---

The worst retcon of 0.2 is that it makes Aqua aware of Sora and Riku saving the world, so it kinda ruins the impact of Aqua's tears after hearing Sora's name during the BBS secret ending.
---

I mean they had to destroy his shirt to explain why he's shirtless in the KH1 ending for the only time in the series
---

He could have just... not worn a shirt when in the world of darkness

yeah but why would he suddenly just be shirtless when he's never shirtless otherwise
---

I think I'm going to finish this game before being able to make any of the really cool spirits like this TRex
---

If you go into every Special Portal you come across, you might be able to make him.

Honestly DDD was the easiest Platinum of the series. I thought getting all Dream Eaters would be a grind, but going for Special Portal completion helps you get everything without grinding.
---

Did this game introduce a tier of magic above -ga in -za? Did that exist before?
---

Sometimes it's -za and sometimes it's -ja
---

Oh yeah, -ja.

I love that this is the continuity issue Nomura was concerned about

so do I

Nomura's all about clothes

So what are the ways to mitigate the drop timer?

So what are the ways to mitigate the drop timer?

Drop-Me-Not items (and their stronger rarer companion Drop-Me-Never) are the first one I can think of.
---

Buy the Drop Decelerator bonus. Level 3 if you can afford it.
---

Yeah save up DP for that or just use a lot of munny for items.

The way I played it last time I let it naturally drop, and have enough DP for a bunch of upgrades and shit. It was wild
---

I literally did not figure out you could level up Drop abilities until right after I finished the game.

I've linked to this before, but I thought this was a really good video on Kingdom Hearts 2:

Super long but a fun video. I think I may have just found a new YouTuber to check out so thanks for that!
---

Oh yea if you guys missed it the KH1FM run for SGDQ this year was very fun. Level 1 Proud mode. And then after the run they did Level 1 Proud mode Sephiroth fight and a really wonky cutscene glitch when you get Oathkeeper that was hilarious
---

I hate this Fantasia world I'm going to go insane from it

But I DID farm the materials for the Tyrano Rex and have it now so that's cool
---

It's the coolest world in ddd imo.

Too bad they didn't go with Riku in Fantasia 2000 though.
---

There's this scene here of Mickey and Yen Sid basically talking about how smart and cool and amazing Xehanort is
---

The fact that some of the sound effects are gone + the looping music in the background was driving me crazy. I'm glad Chernabog came back but his fight was a bit weak. I actively don't like the Spellican fight at all
---

Yeah spellican isn't good but I think the sounds effects thijg and music are neat.
---

Fantasia is one of my favorite worlds in the series
---

I think Fantasia has a lot of good ideas but the execution wasn't the best.
---

I actually wound up liking the Musketeers world a lot more than I thought I would
---

Musketeers world is also another highlight for me.
---

I'm not sure I'm following this whole "you can go back in time because a younger version of you existed there but this robe man was there in the past which means you can be here now" stuff
---

Me neither

that's because Xehanort's intelligence is beyond your comprehending
---

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Xehanort and his motives
