Re: A Non Spoilerish Opinion about KH3D's Story
As much as I said to myself I would not spoil myself, I've only done so through the first world of the game. To be honest, I am certainly liking it. Hard to say what the rest of the game will be like which I will indeed not spoil myself with.
In any case, I found the first world to bring forth quite a bit of information and will make you try to guess what could be happening soon.

Re: A Non Spoilerish Opinion about KH3D's Story
remember the first time you saw Deep Dive in kh1fm and how badass it was?
kh3d's story, in terms of the original kh worlds (not disney ones), seems incredibly badass. i've seen the ending and everything, and just..wow.

Re: A Non Spoilerish Opinion about KH3D's Story
Hmm interesting. Sounds like the series is picking up the scattered cliffhangers/mysteries from previous games and consolidating them together. I'm glad this is the case.
How was the battle system/enemies in comparison to Birth by Sleep? Are they reasonably blockable, requires strategy, and the sort?

Re: A Non Spoilerish Opinion about KH3D's Story
It's a very good story, it did explain a lot, but it also opened up new mysteries. As a hard core KH fan, who knows the story inside and out, I just have to say that I've never been more confused with the storyline of a KH game than this one. I mean, it's not SUPER confusing, but there are just a lot of things that sort of contradict things that have been explained in the past games. It really leaves you wanting more, however. So, that's a very good thing. I really can't wait for the english version, because maybe it'll make it more understandable for me. I also can't wait for the Ultimania interview, because Nomura has quite a bit of explaining to do with some of the more crazy things that happened in the game. And like every other KH game, it has it's sad, happy, funny, etc. moments. I don't think it's as sad as Days and BBS were though. But anyway, yeah, it's a great story, just a little confusing and "wtf?!" at times. Plus, I think out of any KH game so far, this one has the most "shockers", so get ready to have your mind blown. Haha! You won't be disappointed with it!

Re: A Non Spoilerish Opinion about KH3D's Story
I said this in the spoiler section, but the story here kind of turned me around. I liked BBS a lot even though I felt it added to the storyline more complexity than it needed (the looks of Vanitas for one) and I really hoped we would move on to KH3 finally. I didn't have an illusion that it would come soon, I am a patient man. But when 3D was announced it felt to me like they were releasing a game for the sake of releasing a game. I still think that branching the games on so many systems is a horrible mistake for a story heavy series.
But yes, without going into spoilers, instead of making things more complex, the new elements introduced here actually sort out stuff. It's safe to say that the impact the story has on the series is the biggest so far because it affects all the games. It's a shift of perspective most of all. What you took for granted may not be taken for granted anymore but, for once, it more or less fits. And above all, the script is a lot better than, say, KH2. I think KH2 did have a good story, but the problem was it was told in a very sloppy way, making it seem jumbled. Not the case here. Instead of having characters tell you of some important stuff, here the scenes do most of the work, with a decent amount of flashbacks.
That said, you might not like everything that's been introduced and it's far from perfect. I for dislike a certain key change done to a certain charcter and Disney worlds do little in progressing the story. Actually, to be precise, the characters from those worlds do little to progress the main story, something that's been bugging the series since after KH1.

Re: A Non Spoilerish Opinion about KH3D's Story
KH3D's story can be summed up in 4 words, "One Big Mind Rape"
I haven't had the chance to play the game myself, i'm still waiting on my order to arrive. But from what i've seen of the story, its is the best so far, it explains alot of things that were seemingly unimportant or unclear in past games, and ties all of this together nicely I think. I can't really comment on gameplay much since I haven't had the chance to enjoy it myself, but one thing I can say from seeing livestreams of the game is that it is probably the hardest KH game to date. My only complaint with the game is that I wish it had more disney worlds, other than that it is nearly perfect.

Re: A Non Spoilerish Opinion about KH3D's Story
This certainly sounds great. I for one want to like Sora more. He hasn't been endearing to me since KH. Now when we talk about all these revelations and shockers, are they spread out across the game, or does it all just explode in the end?
And someone said the Disney worlds weren't relevant... that really surprises me. The smaller number and the scenes from trailers made me think they were going to be the most relevant yet. It seemed like each world had a major scene/conversation that contributed to the overall main plot. Hm.

Well things are hinted at through out the game but it really does all just explode in the end.

Re: A Non Spoilerish Opinion about KH3D's Story
I'm glad to see that things look pretty well tied together in this game. I'm sure it leaves plenty of things open, but it wouldn't be KH without a few good twists and turns along the way. =D
Thanks for the non-spoilerish opinions and information! From everything in the thread, it seems like this game just keeps getting better and better. The wait will be brutal but worth it; I'm determined not to spoil it!

3D Effects
Quick question to anyone who has the game. How are the 3D effects. Does the game take good advantage of it? Is it used more for stuff that pops out or depth? My favorite 3D game right now is Super Mario Land 3D.

Re: 3D Effects
I don't have the game and haven't seen it in 3d, but from what the people who tried the game at PAX have been saying is that the 3d is great and doesn't hurt their eyes as much as other games. They only had it for a short time though, but they still liked it a lot.
