k..kingdom hearts ?

prove it

Roxas is known for going on skateboard and doing tricks and sometimes walking on walls so you’re really gonna have to do something crazy!

i love kingdom hearts.

I am not Roxas. I am his twin brother Rocks-is. Not Ventus. Just Rocks-is. I hate skateboarding and having fun

kingdom hearts is peak..

wait vicki is that true because that would be news to me. not that it would be surprising in the way you say you love things when you actually love how insane they are but it would be news to me

i also love kingdom hearts, but now i can't say it because victoria said it first. so that's cool.

RE: kevin. it's good to say. this whole thing only works because our power is our friends.

i waited every day for missing link hoping it would come out... where's my cac square..... (dead in the water)

Elaboration. not sure everyone would understand what 'cac' means. (it means Create a Character / the custom avatar goober you would make)

Hell yes bro.

SORA MENTIONED I LOVE marluxia

you called?

A drinking game to rival the Stephen King Drinking Game: take a shot every time someone says darkness. Take two if it's Xehanort or someone who's currently norted.

Kingdom Hearts is GOATed... It's peak... It has, uhh... W Rizz and is zesty out the skibidi or whatever kids say.

They should put Aqua in superhell again just to see what happens

i've played 1 & 2 & birth by sleep and they were quite fun. kinda pisses me off that the narrative around them was just "Lol this is gay" for so long considering the gameplay kinda kicks ass

was planning on doing a full series thing but dream drop distance kinda killed my interest in doing that. which i'm told is not an abnormal experience but i'm not tuned in enough to these things to really know myself

kingdom hearts kicks ass. i own a sora pocketwatch. would attach an image but it's been giving me some troubles. youre just gonna have to trust me on this one ok

ngl I'm hella jelly of you bionicle, pocketwatches are dope

Kingdom Hearts is such a headscratcher of a series for me, because they're these big-ass ARPGs with incredibly satisfying mechanics, and they pull in all this huge insane industry talent to have the best art direction, the best music, the biggest-profile actors and these big full-length campaigns where no environment or battle goes unturned. They're the video game equivalent of a really good blockbuster movie.

But they're also these incredibly weird, pretentious, self-important meditations on the nature of the self and goodwill, where cutscenes will go for half an hour to say something about as complex as "Good is light and evil is dark! Choose wisely!" ala Realms of the Haunting, and it's all about as deep as a puddle. And the dialogue writing ranges somewhere between "mediocre anime" and "Star Wars prequels".

But even THAT leaves out that they're a giant fucking Disney and Square Enix crossover universe??? Where Mickey Mouse is an edgy anime anti-hero who has to do things that are slightly morally-questionable, and always shows up at the most pivotal plot moments to wreck house??? While almost all of the actual Disney WORLDS you visit mean jack shit to that main story plot I described in the previous paragraph. They feel like you could literally make the series entirely modular and replace worlds with whichever properties you wanted sometimes.

And even then, after all this criticism I'm lobbing at the story, I still watch each and every single scene with bated breath because yeah, it's actually still really fucking well-directed and acted, hokey dialogue or no. I've been playing through the entire series at the same time I've been working through the Ratchet and Clank series, and my main two thoughts about the writing have somehow been "wow, Ratchet and Clank is so much more witty and clever with its dialogue" and "Wow, this is SO much more compelling than any Ratchet and Clank story".

So I guess I like it???? This has left me with more complex emotions than any other game series without any of those emotions being frustration (though some of 358 Days definitely did do that). I feel kinda the same way I did when I tried to watch Monogatari, simultaneously confused, intrigued, and a little bit embarrassed.
