As much as I hate the Berserkers, Assault Riders, and Hot Rods from KHII, I will say that they certainly added some difficulty that was much needed in some of those areas. The Hot Rods were a bit too brutal in Timeless River, though.

As much as I've heard about Hot Rods being tough, I didn't die to them in my recent Proud Mode run like I did to the Hammer Frames you encounter at around the same time. In fact I thought they were a fun challenge. Same with Berserkers; they're tough but I felt that made things more interesting.

I'm not a fan of Assault Riders, though, even though I didn't find them quite as difficult; it seems like you're meant to get behind them and attack but they move too fast for that to be a viable strategy.

The Assault Riders were only ever a pain for me during that early bit where you're trapped with only "Ping". Which is to say, you're pretty much in the fight alone.

Despite its flaws, KH has always had this charm to it through out the series that just makes it likable and engaging. The gameplay's always fun, the characters are characters that you want to root for and succeed and the music is one of the best I've heard in video games. Yeah the plot's pretty ridiculous but it's still a plot that makes you want to know what's going to happen next, at least to me.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately since I'm trying to animate it, but Xemnas' laugh from DDD is the kind I want to take out and have a beer with. It was so unexpected when I first heard it and I freaking love it.

Olympus in Kh3 made me realize...I genuinely like this world in all three games.
Which is insane coming from me, as I HATE the movie. It's bottom barrel Disney for me.
Yet KH has consistently made me enjoy most of these characters (except Phil, but not even the power of Nomura could make Phil endearing)! I'd say Hades shines more in this series than he ever was able to in the movie.

 

[kaseykockroach]

KH3 has the best prologue.

Because there technically isn’t one!
Olympus was such a glorious opening.

 

[Grono]

I agree with the Olympus one!

Btw, you might want to look at the guidelines that I recently put on the front page of my nitpicks thread and consider incorporating them Just a thought!

 

[ImVentus]

The cutscenes in DDD where Young MX stalks Sora were probably some of the most comedic interactions in the game. Just the fact that Sora got triggered and confused by his riddles made me almost roar with laughter. Especially the cutscene when they're in the Fantasia world. Wonderful scene.

Nomura is an incredible designer and I love all KH3 new outfits.

Fun fact, Marluxia's hair looks like that in the Kingdom Hearts II intro because his hair was never pink in the original Chain of Memories.

I love that The Caribbean is just "here's a freaking huge beautiful world. Go explore. Do whatever the hell you want. Go nuts".
It's...everything I wanted from a KH1 follow-up to an even greater degree than I could have ever anticipated.

When Aqua restores the Land of Departure, its image projects over Castle Oblivion just like in the Disney light shows (I've completely forgot what that event is called but ya'll know what I'm talking about!) And seeing the castle parts moving around to to fit their proper place was awesome! Not only was it nice to actually see the process instead of opting for a boring flash of light, this was quite possibly the most Disney thing to happen in the series. I really love how it was done.

1. The Praise thread hasn't been around as long.

2. The Nitpick thread is all in good fun.

3. We accidentally super glued ourselves to the site.

Is it finally time to appreciate Ansem SOD's performances in this game? Like holy cow

Like his "Nononono don't make another step" to Pence in a perfect "Dang kid, get off my Mansion" tone

OR HIS FLIPPIN FINGER MOTION WHEN HE SAYS "YOU'RE WISE" TO ANSEM THE WISE
He made a joke AND did the finger gun

I'm seriously starting to doubt he's a Heartless at all
That shit was so good

Because the Nitpicks thread got started first! Praises was late to the race and will have to catch up. Plus, so much about KH2 pisses me off the more I play KH3 (which I've found was pretty much the follow-up to KH1 I wanted in the first place, figuratively speaking).
