No. No. Not at all. No.
I bought the first Kingdom Hearts as a Disney nerd excitedly thinking "WOOOO HOT SHIT DISNEY ACTION RPG WOOOO!" what I got was, well, melodramatic anime garbage.
I thought this, except the first one wasn't so bad for my money. It was melodramatic, sure, but so is Disney, so it was okay.
By the second one, though, with the illogical Organization XIII, the convolution of the Nobodies, and the downright stupid back half of the game where all you do is get the main Disney pairings together, and the whole Axel/Roxas and Sora/Riku bullshit, I half expected the name "xXDarknessXCloudGurlXx" to show up under the "Writing" credits. A fanfiction of a fanfiction in the worst ways. Sad, sad shit.
But that doesn't mean I don't want KH3. No. I DO want KH3 because I wanna see with what miracle they're gonna tie all the games together, AND write a good enough conclusion for a story THIS long. Surely not even Square is stupid enough to assume all of its potential customer base bought all the meandering handheld spinoffs.
Lofty goal for Nomura. Hideo Kojima, he ain't.
