          That’s the ultimate failure here, the developers can’t pick which characters or world to use but Disney has to tell them what they want, so all modern shit they are trying to shill gets forced in

          No way they would do ROTJ first, that's just silly. They would have to do New Hope of course.

          I'm hoping some more obscure Disney stuff gets in, or more cartoony worlds like the Timeless River. I would love a Ducktales world or Roger Rabbit.

          That trailer's over a year old by now. Things can change a LOT in between development and release.
          This is especially relevant because the Vs 13 got a trailer and then it got cancelled. And Nomura is so salty and bitter about it that he's inserting his ideas into Kingdom Hearts going forward with Yozora.
          When there's something actually playable then we can make a tally of what's in the game and what isn't. Not before.

    If just the main console games contained the story and the mobile and Gameboy games were just side stories or quickie versions of the main stories, it would be fine. But you won't be able to follow the story by just playing the numbered game.

    The story. The first game is fine, everything past that is moronic.
    in KH1 Ansem was one person, you collect his reports and fight him at the end, it's implied it's the same person.
    in KH2 they made it so there were 2 different characters named Ansem, and the reports you collect in the first one are not from the same person as the person you fight at the end.
    The story became convoluted for no reason.

There was also some guy who helped sora in the keyblade graveyard I guess, don't know what his deal is but maybe he doesn't count since he isn't really a character. more like a plot device.

                Well it's not like that either. You can shoot though in some very specific circumstances like if you're riding on baymax or on rails or when you slide into cover, which is weird because it implies that Sora has the ability to shoot whenever he wants but never does even though it's so much stronger than swinging.

                well actually it is different because he's on rails usually. The only way to use him not on rails is to charge up an ability with him and then you get to ride him for like thirty seconds.

    1) The over decade long hiatus it took from releasing a mainline game to support mobile gaming platforms. This fractured the audience it had built on the PS2. Not saying that it was a bad thing to try a mobile title, but the problem is that they did so many on so many platforms on top. To keep up with the goings on as they released, you needed: PS2, GBA, a smart phone, NDS, PSP, 3DS, PC, and a PS4 or XB1. Also, save for re-releases, they skipped out on the 7th-gen consoles entirely which was a huge mistake.

    2) The story got up its own ass. It barely makes any sense any more. This happens a lot to long-running IPs, but Japanese IPs are especially egregious about it. Even diehard KHgays have a hard time agreeing on the exact canonical lore of the series.

    3) Industry practices sucked the fun out of it and squeeze fans for as much as they can. Selling you re-re-releases are bad enough, but merchandising is also a drain on the wallet. This is another thing that Japanese IPs are really bad about.

    Also, I can't prove it, but I'm sure Disney execs have gotten more involved with the use of their IPs since KH3.

                KH1 to 2 are a very simple "friends are separated and reunite older and wiser" arc. That narrative arc concluded and the only way Nomura could think to continue things was to look into the camera and whine that he didn't get full creative control over Noctis.

    You grew up.
    Unironically. It is now the same as it always was from the start. You just grew up and decided it was cringe instead of accepting it's the same goofy cheese you ate up as a kid.

      Actually this is not true. It's very different. Yes being older is the reason why anon doesn't like it, but that doesn't mean it's the same.

    Every story element since Chain of Memories. Gameplay only really got bad in Birth by Sleep though.

        Not true I love Kingdom Hearts 1 and even 2, especially 2, despite the dumb story it has. Shame about the rest though.

    After playing multiple games in the series, I've noticed how they would leave my mind feeling numb. Despite everything they have going in the gameplay, it becomes watered down by a story that I'm no longer interested in (and actually now loathe), and can't avoid due to the games ultimately being pretty linear.
    All you do is fight a bunch of enemies in endurance rounds then edvance to the next area through what might as well be a single passage ways.
    At certain points you get cutsceans, which are sometimes cringe, so if it wasn't bad enough that the story was fricked they have to make it unbearable to watch.
    Eventually, I don't even look foward to fighting crowds of enemies.
    Simply put. Fight loads of monsters; go to next area to fight more monsters, but be interrupted by shitty story before playing same thing over. The mini-games and some abilities become worse too. Does the action gameplay in that you DO get to experience outweigh the negatives? Well. Not in my opinion. I finally got it out of my sight a long time ago by selling it off.

    The plot got increasingly convoluted for no good reason. It's not like it's impossible to follow, but after the first game you can't help but wonder who the frick the target demographic of this is supposed to be other than people who played the first game as kids.

    Nothing. Kingdom Hearts has a lot of untapped potential and can be underwhelming in general, but it's never been ruined. That's too dramatic.

    Making it up the story as it went along.
    Using light and dark as ambiguous enough to say and do what ever you want with it in the story.
    Getting waaaaaaay to corny even for Disney standards.
    Really just writing them self into a corner so they could shovel out constant games making you spend money on each game with a new console.

    This, Kingdom Hearts peaked at 2 and it not even cause it was the first one I played. You can tell it went to confuse so many fans with the director autism and inspecting us to understand him. BBS was the last KH I was genuine interesting storywise. But then even it's lore and story felt lackluster, change the enemy name from unbirth to unverse. Then Ansem VA changed in KH1 along with other things.

        For you, I get the dark tone felt different compare to the rest of series, but I legit think KH2 was natural evolution from the KH1 tone

    It always felt like it never really knew what it was going for. The Disney movie recreations could have been replaced by things like entirely new stories with those characters, crossing into each other's tales because of some Darkness frickery. I was dreaming of Elsa and Mulan joining Aladdin but they just didn't make much of an attempt. Also it would have been cool to see more anime characters in KH somehow to really drive home the "East meets West" concept. Square's characters are okay, but come on, imagine seeing Goku, Astro Boy, Luffy, Lupin III, Oscar François de Jarjayes, and the Pokémon crew interacting with Disney characters. Heck might as well find a way to get Warner Bros and Paramount to join in. That's what I always imagined a "perfect" Kingdom Hearts spiritual successor could be if some Saudi billionaire funded it

      That kind shit was off-limits even in KH1's days, it goes against Disney's internal guidelines regarding crossovers with its cinematic works, televised works, animated shorts, and how it all works.

      Remember world order? Remember Donald and Goofy explicitly telling Aladdin that they couldn't take him out of Agrabah to find Jasmine after you complete that world's storyline in KH1? That's the Disney guidelines at work.
