I haven't beaten the game yet...
..but I just did the battle with the union x players and I have to say that felt like a kick in the gut. I understand that Nomura said that the top players for whatever the challenge was, would have their name in the game, but I was thinking it would have been for like highscores placeholders or something. But with having them be used for a main story battle felt like none of our characters who got chosen are special too.
sorry for the rant.

Seeing Toy Story in KH was definitely well worth the wait. So many emotional moments.
I also love the sick burns Woody threw at Young Xehanort. "No one ever loved you" made my jaw drop

So the Chamber is Repose was completely ignored? I figured it would be, but was hoping it wouldn’t.
Besides that, I LOVED the story. Somethings were expected, but I was surprised by so much of it!! I haven’t not been spoiled by a KH game since the original CoM! So proud of myself haha

It's kinda funny how Nomura's thrown so much shade at FFXV being an incomplete game and yet KH3 feels like a considerable chunk of story is missing.
Like, for one example, how the heckdid Xion come back? What happened to Demyx? There's also how a lot of the cast and plotlines barely get much screentime. All that sequel bait.... I'm probably forgetting other examples, but while I do like most (emphasis on "most") of what happened, this stuff really bugged me.
It really felt like Nomura was more interested with the next game than giving this saga proper closer.

I love that part! The dialogue in general is really good in this game, imo.
I've played all the games except Chi and the fact that they were all connected to the story in one way or another doesn't make up for the fact that they were substandard games, imo, and much lower quality than KH1, 2, and 3. More importantly, for people like me who cared very little about most of the new characters added to the series KH2-onwards, there's the fact that the only game that we've had of Sora (and Riku) moving forward in their storyline between 2006 and 2019 is 3D. I can't remember if the real Sora even appears in re:Coded or not, but if he did, it was only briefly.
Just finished Monstropolis Randall really should have been a boss. I was hoping we would fight him after the Unversed boss. Though him manipulating the factory into a series of Saw like traps was hilarious. Also like how Sully and Mike saved Sora from Vanitas. That was totally unexpected
I know right?there is a lot of creative dialogue that's both hilarious and emotionally gripping.

Okay, I keep seeing people mention secret reports in KH3, but I have absolutely no idea how anyone got them in-game. I had no idea there even were any to be obtained. I certainly never got any from anywhere. Unless they are post-game battlegate prizes? Like...wat?
Taking the words right out of my mouth.
Yea, I got that vibe too when reading about spoilers of the endgame stuff.
It feels at least in parts as if Nomura wanted to "get over with" the current saga as quick as possible and resolve the mess he himself somewhat created in one giant big bang with so much being crammed into the finale marathon that much feels not in-depth enough.
Mentally he's probably already completely entangled and invested in the ideas and concepts for the new saga to which UX serves as the groundwork with some elements from KH III thrown in.
Thing is though, the new saga has the potential to become an even greater mess if it is approached with the same mindset as the just resolved one and has on top also a bunch of new, more complex concepts thrown in.
Yes, they're rewards for those. Some are really tough.so watch out.
They are post game battle gates.
I see. Thanks for the info!

For me, the worst thing that happened, worse than scenes once again existing solely for having cool stuff in the trailers. Worse than plotlines happening and characters appearing, only to just be forgotten about. Worse than certain characters being idiots. Worse than the very blatant plotholes (how the heck can you forget that Pence is helping Sora, Ansem?) Worse than suddenly introducing a new character for us to pretend to care about. Worse than that easily missable cutscene!
No, what the worst thing was rewinding time after Sora rescued everybody. I don't know how those playing it felt, but as someone who was watching the scenes online I seriously thought the video glitched back. Like, Sora saves everyone, Kairi beings him back. The whole thing is acknowledged, and then events just...repeats itself like everyone forgot what happened.
I just don't see the point of it. Why did this happen? Why not just have them reappear before Terranort and have him get angry at their revival? Could they not afford to make another scene? Why, why, why???

^ This. How can I trust the next game will be better when this one was treated so poorly? Nomura has put himself in a bad position by rushing through the plot of this game.
Just finished Kingdom of Corona. I absolutely loved it! 
A lot of attention to detail went into it. And I concur with the member that said that Marluxia is a competent villain in this world. I also love how there are callbacks to events from KH1 that make Sora reflective of what happens to characters from the worlds.
Am about to start Monstropolis.

In regards to Corona, something that confused me was Marluxia and Gothel's first meeting. What exactly did he do to her when he stared into her eyes . Anyone know?
