Kingdom Hearts as a whole was meant to appeal to millennials who grew up with both the Disney Renaissance and the PS1 Final Fantasy games. Add on the fact that the time span between KH2 and KH3 was fricking 14 years, and you'll realize that even the OLDEST zoomers would have been in very early grade school when the PS3 remakes came out and would have been full of references they wouldn't get/care about.
I'm 38 years old, and just this year I started playing through the compilation(half of them were the games as they are, the rest were compiled into cutscene movies)
I can tell you, these games are not meant to be played by adults(without nostalgia) I only played through them because I already payed for them and because I wanted to know what the big deal is.
>In HK1, you assume that Donald and Goofy come from a long line of court magicians and royal knights due to the statues that flank Mickey's throne >Find out in KH2 that Mickey founded their kingdom, like, 10 years ago >Those statues are just self-indulgent vanity projects
They literally go back to when they first start building the castle in KH2. Mickey and the gang built the castle, so those statues are specifically suppose to be Donald and Goofy. His point wasn't that it happened specifically 10 years ago; it's that those aren't ancient statues.
Is donald pretty much saying Mickey and anyone associated with him are gods? And that the bad guys who know about these multiple worlds are the devils?
He's saying that they shouldn't interfere with the worlds they're visiting beyond defeating their enemies (the Heartless), because they'd be outside context problems whose actions would cause chaos.
Essentially, he's arguing, in an unecessarily complicated way, that each world has its own rules, and that thus they shouldn't go around trying to change the other worlds because they don't know those rules and how they would interact with their own actions, and that, therefore, the consequences of their actions are impossible to predict.
It's bullshit Prime Directive shit to make the crossover storylines work, because why wouldn't they just ice the Disney villains the moment they show up singing about how evil they are?
Is there a reason why Japs write like this, by explaining everything in the most complicated and unnecessary way possible? Literally all he said is "We don't want to interfere with their world, so we don't meddle", yet whatever nip wrote this is trying to sound like some theoretical physicist. Why is this shit so common in anime?
>Is there a reason why Japs write like this, by explaining everything in the most complicated and unnecessary way possible?
Because kanji lets them cram together a bunch of context into a very small and easily understood package, which is completely lost on translators who try and make everything as direct and literal as possible.
Yes it is. OP's picture comes from a fan translation, which are always needlessly wordy because they try to be as literal as possible.
From the official Yen Press translation:
"Everyone has only lived in their own, single world. We'd just confuse everything. That's why we have to keep it a secret."
You can argue that loses some of the context, but it gets the important parts across without being needlessly wordy.
Donald went from being dominated by based Barks towards the based but more autistic Rosa, as well as the naturally more autistic Europeans. Unsurprisingly the peak was reached when the Japanese got a hold of him.
>now
That KH manga is older than most of the posters on this board
>Tfw never owned a Playstation so Kingdom Hearts is this weird series of clips to me.
Is this what being a boomer is like?
Kingdom Hearts is a boomer game now
Wow, so zoomers never played Kingdom Hearts? That's pretty wild.
they aint missing much
They're missing Sora's sexy tight butt
Underage zoomers, maybe. I played the game since 2003, when I was 6.
>have you played weebshit game that is only good because Disneyshit?
No, why would I?
Kh is solidly a late Millennial/Zillennial series (born 92-2004 age range)
For a Kid to get into it now would require them going out of their way for the collection and parsing all the various games and PS2 era stuff.
Why is that wild?
Anon's conception of the series is based around chringy teens doing weeb shit in the 2000s and never had anything challenge that view.

Skip the Disney world cutscenes and do a Level 1 Crit run in 2 and you'll get it.
KH Donald knows zeta flare, making him canonically the most powerful party member in the history of the franchise.

The castle already exists in Birth By Sleep though and Mickey is over 100 years old at least.
They literally go back to when they first start building the castle in KH2. Mickey and the gang built the castle, so those statues are specifically suppose to be Donald and Goofy. His point wasn't that it happened specifically 10 years ago; it's that those aren't ancient statues.
KH should just shut up and heal me.

They have higher IQ

it's a geek thing + translation issue

i've said shit similar to both images before, you don't have to be only silly or only serious all the time.
