Incorrect: Achieve certain score goals to obtain a limited Keyblade that can be used in KINGDOM HEARTS III when it releases next year!
Correct: Achieve certain score goals to obtain a Keyblade that can be used in KINGDOM HEARTS III when it releases next year!It was previously stated that players would only be able obtain this exclusive Keyblade for Kingdom Hearts 3 by participating in this campaign in KINGDOM HEARTS Union X[Cross].

Maybe by finding where they put the 600 KHUx names or something.
I love having my time wasted because of false advertising :)

Right? I enjoyed the games enough, but I definitely wouldn’t have suffered through so much Musical Farmer if I’d known.
Thanks goodness! I suck at those minigames 😂
WHAT DID I PLAY FOR
Can this game ever get something right? Seems like they have a serious problem with how they word things.
So in other words, you actually gain Starlight at some point in the game, but playing through Classic Kingdom just let's us obtain it right away.
False advertisement is fun.
Well, we do meet a Chirithy at some point...I was kind of wondering about that when we saw him/her in that trailer after we found out about Starlight. I'm more excited for everyone to seen the description for it in-game! I've seen it via the leak and we'll have something to talk about for sure.
They literally coerced us to play these mini-games thinking that Starlight would never be obtainable in-game and now they are like HERE TAKE 500 JEWELS FOR THE LIE. We had to suffer Musical Farmer?
I would have been happy obtaining Starlight wherever it appears in-game. I didn't need it to be an early item.
Thanks KHUX. Thanks for the bait-and-switch, like always 8D
"You don't need to be caught up with UX to understand KHIII."
"You need to play these minigames to obtain this limited Keyblade."
WHAT WILL YOU LIE ABOUT NEXT?!
this thread:
also musical farmer is good u guys just bad
Honestly, as annoying as those games were I'd have played them anyway just for the early unlock.
I'm just dreading playing 20+ of those things in game to get trophies/journal entries completed.

Once I got into the zone it wasn't too bad. Fishing Frenzy is top tier, tho
Can't really say I'm surprised, but really disappointed. I guess we all love being tricked :')
Yeah I declined to reinstall Ux for this and never wasted a second on these games so there's a slight sense of vindication here. Ux is worthless and bad and should never be trusted. :)
I do like how it took them up until a week before the game releases to fix this wording. I'm certain they had no idea about the "mistake" any time sooner than this.
Lmao they did it on purpose so people download their shitty game. Fuck that stupid river game I fucking hated it. The burger time was kind of fun though.
Actually, remember guys, the Classic Kingdom games will be playable in KH3. I think that'll also be the requirement for Starlight in-game lol. It might just be the difference between playing the minigames early or playing them in-game. Hence, how early in game you get to use Starlight.
Can't say I'm surprised about this. Ux has been a mess ever since the rename to Union Cross at least in the international version.
Otherwise I agree with Xblade13 though that the most likely way to obtain this Keyblade in KH III is by too playing those Classic Kingdom Gameboy-esque mini games.
I agree with Audo.
Also guys, if I recall correctly we got 3.6k Jewels from completing all those mini games. Without the Starlight Code we would have played it too.
I literally just finished the last challenge right before coming here.
i already finished the minigames for the code, so i'm not complaining.
Why is everyone acting like you got tricked into playing? They didn't say how you can get it otherwise, this doesn't mean you can earn it in-game, for all you know it could mean it'll be available as paid DLC or something. Why not wait and see what other means it's available by before assuming the worst?
To those complaining about the Kingdom Classic games used to unlock the keyblade:
They're in KH3 also so that would have been a good way to get in some practice before hand.
To those complaining about UX:
I don't blame you. No reason that they're making it illegal in more and more countries. Never in US tho, cheating others out of their hard earned money is the nature of capitalism.
To those complaining about SE marketing:
Can you blame them? They just lost two countries worth of players and because of leaks it was discovered that you didn't need the code anyway and word on the internet spreads fast.

Secondly, yes. People were tricked into playing because many players did so under the promise they would be getting an exclusive Keyblade.
If they were upfront from the beginning then this wouldn't be an issue.
This doesn't bother me. I knew the Starlight keyblade would be available to get either later in the game or DLC. Getting it early was pretty much my goal from the get go.
I didn’t even try to achieve it :D
I tried playing Classic Kingdom for the sake of trying but I failed completely. :D
This doesn't change the fact that they outright lied.

It's exactly this. There wouldn't be an issue if they hadn't worded it and advertised it in a way which suggested that this Keyblade would only be achieved through a code you get from playing UX.
Wait, so I completed those obnoxious mini games when it wasn't technically the only way to get Starlight? I mean it felt good to finish them all and I have the code but this is just silly

It's the only way to get the Starlight keyblade early instead of later in the game. That was the point of the mini games.

First, I'm not convinced they outright lied. They lowered the required scores, which says to me that not many people were doing it (or fewer than they expected), and this change (that it's not exclusive) says to me that the score requirement change still didn't get them the numbers they wanted, so they're adding another way to get it (probably just paying for it). Less of an outright deception, and more a change of plans.
I really don't understand the anger about being "tricked." Considering the likely alternative way to get Starlight is just buying it as paid DLC, I can't possibly get mad at them for "tricking" me into getting it the free way. Worst case scenario? I would have gotten it in the game (probably for doing the same type of minigames), but instead I wasted a couple hours over a few months playing dumb minigames. Really doesn't seem like a big deal.
In the end I'm glad this Keyblade isn't a time-exclusive deal, that's great for people who might want to get this keychain in the years to come.

I won’t clarify more without being in the spoiler section, but no. That isn’t what is happening. The plan did not change. This was always intended, they just outright lied and deceived players.
Yeah so I love the Classic Kingdom games so I am not upset that I played them a lot or anything, but this is a crappy move. It does come off like they just really wanted more downloads.
Honestly I also would have been fine earning it in game if that's the case, so I dunno how I feel about that aspect. But oh well, too late now I guess.

So whenever I can be able to re-download this game (don't have space for it), I'll have a chance to get it whenever?
Sweet.

Actually it means you can get the keyblade by other ways

Starlight Codes stop being issued through KHUx this April, so no. Rather it's saying there are other ways to get it.
I don't understand the outrage, this doesn't seem like a lie to me.
If I'd paid money for it and then was told: "Actually, you can earn it in game for free." Then I would be mad.
But instead I wasted an hour or so at worst playing games I'd have played anyway, even if they had said it was unlocked in game.
Is it annoying? Kind of, but I'm not losing any sleep over it.
Ugggh.
Reclaiming my time.

It's annoying because they mislead all of us into thinking this was the only way to get this Keyblade. They removed us having a choice about getting it early or not just so they could boost downloads for the apps and try to get people sucked into their microtransaction filled game.
The difficulty of getting the Keyblade or the awkwardness of playing the games aren't the issue here. The issue we are feeling is that we were mislead into downloading the application because they falsely advertised that this Keyblade would only be available through a limited timed event in their game.
