Is it even that important to know and understand every detail of plot in a video game? Like, I get that the game is so loved and whatever bc of the original idea… meshing Disney with FF to create something new. And, yeah, the original game was about a boy trying to find and save his friends, but… that idea has to\u00a0go<\/em> somewhere to advance the series. The same people trashing the series for being so overly complicated and lore-y would be crying about the unoriginality of the game if it continued with the same basic plot and end goal. I agree that the game has gotten overcomplicated, but I feel like that’s what makes it… interesting? enjoyable?<\/p>\n

I wouldn’t be screaming every time KHIII gets delayed if it was just the same story told a third time. Yeah it’s overcomplicated but it’s just a game!!! Logic doesn’t have to apply. Especially if the character you play as can fly, use magic, and fights the bad guys with a giant fancy looking key… if you really want to start applying logic to a game about magic?…<\/p>\n

The exclusive to certain consoles thing Square does has always annoyed me though. I had to borrow my friend’s PSP in high school to play one of the spinoff games.. I basically bought a 3DS just to play another one of the spinoff games… and I decided to get a PS4 over an xbox only because I figured KHIII would be released on it. It’s actually set to drop on both consoles now though.. but, anyway. So now that there’s this rumor of it being released on some whole OTHER platform.. it’s not confirmed but it kinda pisses me off and I would guess it would piss off all those fans who think the game’s downfall is its multiple platform exclusivity too.<\/p>\n

That being said I think the whole over analyzation fans do regarding the plot misses the point of playing games. It’s fun to pick apart plot points and have theories and end games with questions and look forward to answers\u00a0and that’d be kinda obsolete if the series was left at the simple. Could certain aspects be done better, sure. But most people whining about it don’t have the means to be a video game writer or director or designer and they don’t offer anything in replacement of what they complain about.<\/p>\n

Is an extended period of time in between games really a valid reason to lose interest? I hadn’t played a KH game since high school but I bought the 3DS as soon as I could afford it last year just to play the most recent game. Even then I put it down for a few months in constant losing frustration and I still went back to it and ended up binge playing and finishing it within about a week or so. 11 years is a lot, but I feel like there’s enough nostalgia to spark up a glimmer of interest at least.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
