      I think Disney is hands down the biggest reason for KH3 not living up to what it could have been. The randomly thrown in ride attractions that are never explained in any way and seems more like Sora is just hallucinating their existence, plus they make an easy combat system even easier. The Disney worlds were the worst worlds. Frozen was a disaster with an incoherent story without prior knowledge of the movie. Tangled felt like Sora was just unnecessary, he was there just to bodyguard them from the heartless as they went and did everything they did in the movie. Davy Jones: "Stay out of this boy" seems to be the general idea of Disney towards Sora. Olympus was a better world by far, but ultimately still fell back on a movie plot. Also Sora never feels necessary in half the worlds. When you want Sora there most, he's missing. When Anna freezes herself to save Elsa, Sora's shooting the shit with Larxene in some time bubble until Hanz's heartless attacks. In Tangled all the characters are in the tower at the end, and a lot of stuff happens in that room, but no Sora to help, he just comes by later to fight the heartless....seems like a pattern. After the Davy Jones fight if I remember correctly it all pretty much happens like the movie with minimal Sora involvement. Big hero 6 felt like Sora had the best presence out of all the Disney worlds (except maybe Olympus), but it was also the shortest world in the game, outside of Winnie the wow you fucked this up.
      My conclusion is this: Disney as a company has changed, no longer giving artistic freedom to Square for use of their characters, and instead forcing them to reanimate movies and not incorporate Sora in them hardly at all.

      @@Rodolphin I'm paraphrasing here, but what Nomura stated (which you can find here: www.usgamer.net/articles/kingdom-hearts-3-final-fantasy-tetsuya-nomura-news-e3-2018) is that he saw the FF characters as much-needed side characters in the first installments because the original characters weren't developed yet. But, as the original characters developed over time, he felt that the FF characters weren't needed to back up the original characters anymore.
      Personally, that's all fine and good for Nomura to think whatever he thinks... but KH start off as a cross-over between Disney and Final Fantasy, so clearly Nomura has ideas that don't jive with the original premise of KH. You can see as much with how much Nomura was hinting at the next KH game in KHIII, how many Chekov's guns he's prepped but never fired, how many cliffhangers he's left behind. Nomura is pretty infamous for doing things on a whim, so clearly he was paying more attention to the horizon than the path right under his feet during the development of KHIII.

      @@jeromealday614 I don't get the response of "Nah" I'm probably overthinking this, but a flawed game can only be seen as worse when overhyped. If someone had to experience kingdom hearts, and had to review the game they would be confused by the story and would probably still find many of the same flaws.
      Unfortunately it makes sense that it was overhyped. Kingdom hearts is a series that's been with some people for most of their life. It's been going for over a decade. Because of this and the insistence on not making main entry games (at least with titles that make them seem like main entries) builds expectation.
      Even worse some people are emotionally attached to the series and refuse to accept faults. But on the other side of the coin, some people see Kingdom Hearts as too long and expect that the side games aren't important or can be skipped due to releasing on many different consoles.
      Point is KH3 is flawed, it's hard to argue otherwise. However, what's easy to argue (and a more interesting topic) are the flaws that people perceive and the impact the flaws have on their experience and view of the game.

      @@jeromealday614 That would likely have the opposite result of what you seem to be expecting given the most common defense I've heard of this game, which it's fine for people to enjoy (as long as they don't try to lie that it has good story/plot/writing), is that "it's a game meant for fans". That defense--whatever one thinks of it--is basically saying that it's a game *meant* to be difficult for newcomers to get into, which while a weak defense to me *is* at least true in the sense that there are several ridiculously convoluted tie-ins that came before it.
      So given the level of unnecessary convolution, I highly doubt that summations given at the beginning of _KH3_ itself actually negate that feeling of confusion for the people who would be trying to get into the game with this installment that's supposed to be the finale of 15-year saga. Personally, I honestly can't imagine any person new to the series who starts with this game growing to really like it or the series as whole unless perhaps they're just one of those people who likes to be extremely powerful in games from the get-go and/or only really care about flashy visuals.
      That said, we can at least agree that a long build-up of hype can create (unrealistically) high expectations. At the same time, however, I'm pretty sure the long wait is neither the primary problem with this game nor among the main reasons that various people are panning it or at least point out where it's (greatly) flawed. This especially when one of the most common complaints I've seen is that, ironically, it still feels rather rushed after 13 years (because it likely still was given Nomura's incompetence at least pacing in addition to writing).

      3 being similar in that the gameplay is pretty good, not as good as dream drop distance but pretty good. Graphics are pretty amazing, love all the attention to detail here.

    I liked the game, but it feels like it was gutted at some point during development. The lack of a midpoint in the game is so jarring, it feels borderline unfinished really. *SPOILERS.*
    It’s pretty obvious that Scala ad Caelum was planned to be a full world early in development, but somewhere along the line, whether it be from rushed development or Square Enix’s management problems, they scrapped that idea. Remember back when that world was “Cable Town,” with the trailer only a select group of people saw? Well there was gameplay of that place being an actual world, including footage of Sora walking around the room seen during the chess cutscenes (that would have been awesome).
    Also, can’t forget that Mysterious Tower used to be playable at some point, and it’s likely that would’ve been in Twilight Town as well. Radiant Garden is *also* suspiciously present despite not being playable.

    This is how I felt playing the game. What bothered me the most was the story exposition told E N T I R E L Y through conversation. This game was one huge wrap up, which is good (god knows they dont need to add anything else to this convoluted plot) but executed so poorly.
    Also I hated how the Disney worlds had nothing to do with the story! Sora was literally being sent out to "become stronger" and what tiny, vague plot points came up were confusing and Sora's reactions felt silly. Like, isn't this boy supposed to be 16 by now? Why is he more naive and innocent than EVER BEFORE.
    I loved the game while I was playing it, ignoring how lame the characters were acting and the nonexistent plot progression, and straight up SOBBED during the ending, but after sleeping on my excitement, I realized it definitely left much to be desired.

I basically already knew (never spoiled the story for myself mind you) that the story wouldn't pick up again until the worlds were cleared. I was more interested in HOW these worlds were put in and while Tangled, Frozen, and Pirates were almost exactly the same as the movies, I can at least see why they were put in and the other worlds... probably my favorite in the series for giving us new adventures with these characters and fitting into the whole "hearts" theme practically flawlessly.

      @@flamingfistproduction5895 honestly I agree with you. I am of the belief she did more than what people give her credit for. Hell sora wouldnt even be alive if it wasnt for her, twice over in fact.
      Plus people are expecting a person who has no combat experience on the actual battlefield to just be experts all of a sudden. My main problem is that once again she was regulated to being used for man-pain. To be used to motivate the male main character regardless of the fact that he was already motivated.
      All that being said they also built her arc to be her finally getting a chance to fight and what do they do with her? They kill her, just so sora can have an excuse to be pissed off and also to justify that bittersweet ending.

    There's at least one major point that this video glosses over, and that's the setup for KH4.

I wish they had just focused on making THIS story as good as it could be, and leaving the foreshadowing for the epilogue.

    I bought the entire kingdom hearts franchise recently, as it was on sale for only $30 on the psn store. From the perspective of someone who didn’t have to wait to play KH3, this is probably my favorite game in the series. It’s the most visually stunning, I’m a HUGE fan of the movement options and hack and slash gameplay, and as someone whos not really a square enix fan in the first place and really only got into the series because of the disney properties, I don’t mind the lack of final fantasy representation. My only gripe with the game is they really could have benefited from having sora and the gang return to already finished worlds for one last mission just like in KH2. I also felt like one or two more disney worlds wouldve been nice since I went into the game thinking “I only know about a few of the worlds here so I’m excites to see what they throw at me!” and it turns out I already knew about all the disney worlds except for big her 6.
