Re: Nintendo E-Shop Trailer High Quality
I don't know if that is a joke or serious. This game seems to be quite the mindkupo!, and seeing cute creatures as childish makes you seem childish. Sorry to say. You're playing Kingdom Hearts, a game with a target audience of 10 year old children and Disney fans. What the hell do you expect?
Play Versus XIII when it comes out if you're looking for something less childish.
Dear god calm down militant. If I wanted to pet cuddly little animals I would play Nintendogs. Might be nice if KH took a turn into the more mature arena. Then again, I don't want KH to turn into another FF where every protagonist, antagonist and supporting character is either emo or angsty, Squeenix can't seem to get themselves out of this trap. Some middle ground might be nice between the charm that KH has and the seriousness that FF has. While KH is serious, it's not serious enough. Again, I don't want another FF though so don't go tell me to play that, I'll probably end up playing Versus anyway because the majority of the KH team is working on it, seems like the KH has a lot of potential but are being held back by Disney. And don't give me crap about not liking "cute creature" I play pokemon all t he time and I have a pet cat (she sleeps all day). I'm not that shallow but I can see when a company is trying to appeal to multiple age groups and ends up failing on both accounts. What 10 year old is going to care for a story as deep as KH when they can pet their furry little creatures instead? Oh, hardly any 10 year olds. Boys for that matter. If the game was aimed at 10 year olds all dark themes from the game would be removed and replaced with stuff you see in 4kids Pokemon. DDD is full of gimmicks to try to pull younger audiences and casual players in, it's all about the $$$. The game should be aimed at 5 year olds
What really annoys me is how they intersperse the nonsensical crap (see: 3D and furry critters) with the stuff that makes KH a good series (story and character development), pick one and stick with it. As for the Disney characters, nobody plays KH because of the Disney characters and nobody buys the sequels/prequels because of the Disney characters they do it because the story is excellent and the character development is fantastic too. If by the off chance that someone does buy a game in this series because of the Disney characters, that's definitely not the reason they're going to buy the next one (unless they're a gigantic Disney fanboy/fangirl).
Disney characters serve no purpose to the plot other than to offer their worlds forward to play on and have some sort of story that vaguely resembles what is in their Disney movie to keep some form of interest while you grind through the tedious Disney worlds to get to the real meat of the game (original KH worlds). Hardly anybody can seriously say that the sole reason they play KH is for the Disney characters.
Where will KH go after all original Disney movies have run out? Re-run the same story we have already played? Create non-canon additions to Disney's stories? Should be interesting. I just feel KH could have been much better without Disney. Don't get me wrong, some of the Disney worlds are great like Olympus Coliseum and Beasts castle but crap like Dwarf Woodlands and Atlantica? Yawn.
I just think this game is mainly aimed at a much younger demographic because it's on a Nintendo Console meant for a much more casual crowd. I hope they can get back on track with the next release, something more like BBS with it's much darker tones, that's the kind of KH I like.
But inb4 you dismiss everything I have to say and essentially called me a "hater" (I'm not btw, KH is my favourite series and KH2 my favourite game of all time and I'll probably end up buying a 3DS just to play DDD) it just brings my piss to a boil when some people are so militant they can't stand seeing any criticism of their favourite games whether it be understandable or not.
Yeah, I'm a pessimist but better to be a pessimist and be impressed when something isn't how you expect it than being an optimist and being disappointed when it's not. I just think 3D is going to be garbage like Coded was (aside from the story elements, I'll be watching the KH wiki like a hawk) but hopefully I'm wrong.

This post is probably going to seem haphazard as fuck since I kept going back and editing random paragraphs when I thought of something to say.
TL;DR: KH would be a better series if it left the fluffy immature shit at the door, dumped Disney and stopped trying to appeal to multiple different age groups by trying to incorporate a little bit of everything. I hope DDD is good but I have serious doubts (aside from the story). Thanks for reading, try not to get too mad over someone else's opinion.
I don't know what's more childish. Kingdom Hearts or you.Sorry, assburgers.
Calls me childish then insults me by saying I have Aspergers (you didn't even spell it right, good job), the irony.
