I'm kind of disappointed that Twilight Town was so small in KH3.

You can even access the Gummi Shop and Bistro from menus.

[@jaredhansen3349]

You're confusing art style with graphics. Resolution, texture quality and resolution, anti aliasing, shadows, ambient occlusion, etc, etc, etc are all things that make graphics what they are. And you can easily compare RDR and KH3 on these. You shouldn't though because they are two different types of game (linear versus open world) and RDR has a much tougher time creating graphics on the scale that KH3 can considering the complexity of RDR. Also you want photorealistic graphics out of KH3, again, don't confuse art style with graphics. Disney Pixar aims for photorealism in it's 3D animated movies despite the art style being cartoonish.

[@SourJovis]

I prefer the old style of I and II over III's style. Obviously KH III has more polygons, more detail and better shading which is always a good thing, but that's simply the result of the ps4 being more powerful than the 2 and 3. It's just the style I don't like. In I and II it looks more like the hand drawn style of the classic Disney films. In Kingdom Hearts III everything looks CGI, like the later Pixar films. That's probably why they included so many worlds based on CGI films this time, and they don't look too bad. It's just that I prefer the style of the classic hand drawn Disney films over the CGI Pixar films.

*SOME SPOILERS AHEAD!* One of my gripes with the game is how anti-clamatic the final boss and the organization 13 bosses felt. Kingdom Hearts generally is known for it's epic boss/over the top and climatic boss fights. The boss fight with Xemnas was unbelievably epic back in KH2, hell one of the most epic bosses in any game if you ask me. It's funny how Xemnas damn near killed Riku and Sora while Sora just absolutely clobbers Master Xehanort who summoned the REAL kingdom hearts and uses the power of the X-Blade in KH3. Terra-Xehanort vs Aqua was also an incredibly climatic and epic boss back in BBS, not to mention how epic the past Boss themes were. Xemnas' theme, Marluxia's Theme, the 13th Dilemma(13th Dilemma and Marluxia's theme are used thankfully) and Young Xehanort's themes are damn near masterpieces. I expected more out of the fight against master xehanort and the organization 13 members since all the other org 13 fights and xehanort fights were epic. The cutscenes were great and the buildup was there, but the battles just weren't. There were some epic and climatic bosses don't get me wrong such as the one with Aqua in the Dark Realm and Mother Gothel's Heartless, I just wish that were the case with the Organization 13 bosses and with the final showdown.

[@jerrym.7134]

DannyLlerenaTV What are you talking about? The three way fight with ansem, YX, and xemnas was epic as all hell. And the org members were great to fight as well. I don’t see how it’s not epic. I was jamming to the music in the final boss and loved the human Xehanort fight. Not every final boss has to be a big monster thing you know?

[@waffles764]

Jerry M. The thing is their past fights weren’t “big monsters.” Dark Riku’s fight back in KH1 and KHCoM was epic itself. It was a one on one battle and there was amazing tension. Larxene and Marluxia’s fights were watered down so much it was laughable. I get they couldn’t be as hard in a 3 v 3 but they lost their signature flare with the design choice. I’d rather have fought them one at a time with their power they’ve shown in previous games than take down one and the other already on low hp because the other teammates took them down. It was just so anticlimactic and felt like a rushed way to handle the new Org 13

[@jerrym.7134]

Swagmeister p Fighting them one on one would’ve taken way too long to get through EVERYONE and I’m fine with how it is right now. The games difficult is a little too easy I can agree with that but how the fights went i would rather have this than take on 1v1’s. Hopefully if they add crit it’ll be challenge or make some sort or data version like in KH2 where it’s a lot tougher. Either way I don’t see how the fights are not epic especially the final boss in which I think it’s the best in the series

[@pandalamaa6118]

Unpopular opinion incoming~ As much I also like the camera changes, and how it let's us see a bigger picture and the fight as a whole. I kind of miss the camera from the first game. It felt more close like you're part of Sora, while now you feel more like a third wheeler just observing. Which is not bad either, it gives a chance to enjoy the story and environment fully. But at the same time it doesn't feel as impactful. Like with the fight with Darkside (3:05), in the first game it felt more threatening, likewise in every other fight. While in the later games, I never quite felt that again, it was like the enemies aren't that much of a threat anymore with the camera angles and distance. Although I completely understand why people prefer the camera now compared to then, as it is smoother and easier to control among other things. But at the same time, I would've loved to play through the later games with a camera like the first, as it felt like every enemy was of an equal threat. But that's just my opinion and thoughts~ I do think the camera in KH3 is great too~

[@Sone781]

I agree wholeheartedly. The zoomed out camera is one of my least favorite trends of modern games. So much graphical fidelity, but so zoomed out you can barely tell. I also miss looking around at assets in 1st person, but the gummi phone kinda does that, albiet with a voice clip each time.

Personally I blame games like Birth By Sleep because what did Birth By Sleep give us other than Unversed, Vanitas, and three characters that could easily have been replaced by anyone else? Did Terra-Xehanort really need to be a thing? Did Old Man Master Xehanort need to be a thing? I also blame 358/2. The story for Kingdom Hearts 3 wrapped up things quite nicely considering how much unneeded fluff was made from games like Birth By Sleep and 358/2 Days.

[@thomascalderon598]

I would say kh1 had some small sound effects that was removed later on in the series (the key chain from the keyblade had a sound effect). Kh2 soundtrack for gummi ship battles was atmospheric and it felt right depending on the map (but they did recycle their music for similar maps as well). I cannot make a clear statement for kh3 sound effects/ designs for i haven’t play the game yet.

Despite that, i love kh since it first came out and it’s not gonna stop me from playing them.

Kh1 was so unbelievably good for it’s time. I can still play it to this day and probably forever and not feel like it’s too old to enjoy

[@Shadowsmoke11]

KH3 is for sure a great looking game graphically. But the combat aspect isn't as good as KH2. It just lacks any weight and the slick responsivity that it had. KH3 combat feel floaty and movement is choppy and not fluid. The reaction commands is fun the first times you use them, but then you don't want to use them because they break the flow of the combat and it also break the immersion for me when I am fighting a boss and then I'm summoning a huge carnival jumping around all over a sudden. This is all my opinion.

[@MWKRider]

I have to disagree. I think people just have their nostalgia goggles on when it comes to KH2. The combat(not counting the stupid attractions) is way more fluid and responsive then it was in KH2 and just feels better overall. I can time blocks, do combos, etc just as well as I did in KH2 if not better. I still think KH2 is the better game but just slightly and KH3 easily takes the second best spot in the entire series which BBS had until now for me.

[@nalucap6556]

Personally, KH1 had the best *ground combat* for me. It didn't have the "mash Ex or Triangle to win", nor the BBS "mash Square to dodge" problem. The attack animations left you open, and you had to be weary of just doing combos. This is exemplified early on with the optional Riku fight at the start. Not much for aerial combat though.

[@BalsticMaker12]

I would say KH3 is the most balanced in terms of available options. The game really embraces aerial fighting. Trust me. You have to learn how to guard mid-air or you will get your butt kicked often. Also you have to appreciate the game gives you the option to either launch enemies from the ground or slam enemies to the ground mid-combo. That feels good. Admitably, though, the magic is a little too potent.

My only real complaint about KH3's story is the lack of interaction with Terra, Aqua, Ventus, Roxas, and Xion. Those five felt pretty rushed...I really wanted to see them have a little more screen time than what they got. Other than that, I was pretty happy with it.

conclusion: kh3 on ps4 looks better than kh1 on ps2. Who would've thought

[@toughmanrandysavage3077]

After playing phantasy star online for 3 years before the original kingdom hearts came out I had absolutely no problem with the camera because pso and kh1 had the same control scheme.

[@CrystalClaymore]

I have a few big gripes with KH3, but I want to preface it with I like KH3's graphical enhancements and gameplay mechanics... now that said... Gripes #1 was the limited number of worlds, KH2 had the most worlds and was a blast to explore all the different worlds, not only that but each world had sections that were almost a world by themselves, san fransokyo being the biggest offender here, yes its in 3 dimensions but its literally 2 sections otherwise. Twilight town isn't exempt either, but they did combine a few areas that used transitions into 1 map instead of multiple.... however you cannot go into the mansion, you cannot go to the train station, or the clocktower, or the struggle arena, or even "the normal spot"... Thirdly for worlds, each world was finished after 1 play through, where in both KH1 and 2 you had to return to those worlds at least once more after "completing" the level through the first time, not counting side quests, and re-explore, or explore new areas you couldn't in the past, this game if you miss something through the first time you're not doing the level correctly, and should be able to get every chest the first time you play through the level, others you had to get better abilities and come back! #2 was the lack of character development for alot of the side characters, with the exception of Aqua's scene, the rest felt... well.... 2 dimensional and like they were just there to complete the series since they were involved in previous games, with very few real "plot twist" moments for any important characters, and the lack of Final Fantasy Characters, my favorite rom the FF series was always Squall/Leon, probably nostalgia on my part as FF8 was the first FF I played, but even so, I enjoyed his keyblades, and there werent that many keyblades in this game either, and the special "transformation" keyblade powers weren't even unique to each keyblade, they came up with a few concepts for making them unique, then ran out of ideas so they "doubled them" on other keyblades so each one had a special ability, not that I mind doing that mind you, but they tried to present each one as unique... #3 was *cough* Spoiler Alert *cough* What they did to Kairi, she became an afterthought like "oh right he was Sora's driving force in the game, now she's just another warrior of light, who happens to be there "training in the background" untill she was basically Killed off for "shock value" before the final fight... you want to make KH3 a little better? put that point earlier in the game and actually have a mission to save her, yes it'd been done before, but that would have given the game some more depth! Don't get me wrong though, I loved the interactions between Axel and Kairi but Sora barely saw her this game, yes in the end he vows to rescue her again, but... really it felt like they forgot about her and just tossed her there to round it out.

[@Firestar4041]

- 1: I don't recall much revisiting in KH1, aside from getting all the chests. But agreed overall I don't mind the less world approach, as long as the worlds that are in, have something to explore, and are actually there. Not just a random quarter cut off. I would've loved to flowmotion up the clock tower in Twilight Town. (said world(s) 5 times in the first sentence. I got a new drinking idea for Kingdom Hearts) - 2.1: Yeah noticed none of the characters really change. Riku got thrown in the trash it felt like. A majority of the Organization didn't get fleshed out, until their literal deathbeds. Vanitas flat out says "I'm just the bad guy." And even Xehanort tried to get some redemption, like wth. - 2.2: I do have to question why the absence of FF characters. Leon and his gang was there from the start, so it would only make sense to have them play some part in the finally. And i was really expecting to see a kid version of Lighting or Noctis just chilling out somewhere in Twilight Town, but nothing. - 2.3: Keyblades could have really used some tweaking. Upgrading them was nice, but i would have loved it if they changed shape like in the phone game. The fact that most reuse the same animation was just... it sucks. Like at least they have a different finish move, so they aren't *Completely* the same. But more needed to be done. - 3: I. FU*KING. HATE IT. *SO MUCH.* Not even going into the back and forth, rigged, game of 7 light 13 dark. (spent too much time trying to do that math, only for the game spit in my face) The fact that we don't get ANYTHING of sorts on Kairis and Leas/Axels training, is just bothersome. The interactions was nice and well done, but i was expecting a level or 2 with them, along with more playable sections with the rest of the team. But we only got 1 Aqua fight, a handful of Rikus, and it was back to Sora show But then she doesn't even do anything in the fight, AND gets kidnapped! "Great job Kairi you finally are a keyblade wielder, and get to do something; and you get kidnpped ... great job ..." And i've been seeing way too much cheap shock tactics in media, so seeing KH3 do it, was just tiresome. Even worse the fact that, *NO ONE DIED IN THIS SERIES!* Even the one dude that died, DIDN'T ACTUALLY EVEN DIE. Here we is! At the very end! Here to help his maniac obviosuly evil as*hole of a friend! "Checkmate!" . . . fff***ck. Like i don't hate the ending, but a lot of it felt so undone. And like you said several of the characters just got tossed out there for the checklist. And that kinda leads into a gripe i have with it. In the entire KH series, it all felt very disconnected. But suddenly in KH3, everything is being brought up and mentioned, just casually out of context. And that's more a gripe with the series rather than KH3 itself. Like, this being the first time we actually see a replica body, should say something.

4:12 I kinda have to disagree with that. After all, KH2 still has two hours worth of voice cutscenes MORE than KH3, _plus_ the text bubble scenes. KH1/2 look incredible for their time.

[@binkyboy448]

The thing that blew me away most of all was the game's soundtrack mixing. Not only were familiar recurring tracks remixed uniquely for whatever world they played in, but no longer were 95% of all songs during cutscenes just looped overworld or circumstantial tracks. Virtually all of them were scored dynamically to the animation, which made every cutscene feel like watching a short film. It felt so incredible that I deliberately switched the subtitles off for the entire game just to immerse myself as much as I could; the inability to understand half of Donald's dialogue was a small price to pay.

[@Top15TrikshotClanESP]

I just don't like the fact that you can literally cast the new abilities and literally spam the shit out of them without any kind of difficulty and kill everything around you. Completed the game in expert without dying once, meanwhile I remember trying critical mode in KH2 and dying one time after another. This game is beautiful, but it should request more skill to complete.

[@jeffreyali1456]

[@mgshadowkat3066]

When you think about it, the first game being made in a time where we didn’t have as many 3D and graphical tools as we would have now, the developers really did do a great job in putting dedication to the game. You can tell because of the little things they added back then to make the gameplay more immersive and eye catching to the player.

Kingdoms Hearts 2 deserves to be played on a CRT to look its best and render the models and environments properly, it will look bland on an LCD or OLED, though this can be greatly helped with a good scanline generator or a OSSC or Tink, especially on an OLED, PS2 games on an OLED with scanlines can look amazing, nothing beat a nice CRT obviously, but KH2 goes from bland'n ugly on OLED to beautiful with scanlines, and if you are fortunate enough to have a RetroTink 4K or OSSC Pro, you can also have HDR-BFI with those scanlines, which will get you even closer to CRT image quality, obviously modern screens can't do 0ms or perceptive input latency like CRTs, but if you are used to gaming on an LCD, even OLED will feel like a mahoosive upgrade for motion input response times, motion clarity and input latency, colour volume and contrast (blacks/whites/highlights/etc).

The fact that they can make a video game look identical to a movie is incredible. At some point later through out the game it literally felt like I was watching a scene out of a series.

Also put cloud and sepiroth back those boss fights were my favorite!

[@IHugShortPeople]

I really don't like the new style at all. While the Disney characters look pretty good, I feel like a lot of the Kingdom Hearts characters look awful. I found myself really put off with how some of the Org. XIII members look, for example. I felt like with the improvement in technology, they really could have made this game breathtakingly beautiful, and instead they "kiddy-fied" everything. The first two games I felt had a good balance of being kid-friendly while also not going too overboard with it. From what little I have experienced so far, it feels very much like they have abandoned those who have been fans of KH since childhood and instead are too concerned with appealing to little kids. I feel like it's possible to achieve both if done correctly. I have not finished the game yet, not even close, but at this point, I am very very concerned. I have been waiting for this game since I was 12, and I really want it to be amazing. Again, these are just my first impressions. My opinions may very well change.

Whereas with Pirates of the Caribbean (the absolute best world and a voice actor that did jack sparrows voice spot on) the wold is extremely realistic. Water looks like real water, the characters have immense amounts of detail to show they are human, ships are quite detailed, etc. The graphics in this game blew me away. Especially toy story, I hated toy story even as a kid. I always thought it was stupid. However, when I played this world it was awesome.
