    KH2 is like top 3 most fun games I have ever played in my whole long life of playing vidya.

    It's just so damn good.

    I find it interesting the Disney characters that actually fit in with the anime shit

    like the relationships Sora has with Aladdin and Hercules actually feel genuine and earned, as opposed to ones with like Jack Sparrow that feel extremely forced

    Here is a question:

    Why does 3D restrict what I can name my Dream Eaters? The game isn't even online.

    Just a guess, but the 3DS version has a feature where you can use Streetpass to leave special portals for other players. I think your names are used there?

    And they kept the filter around in the ps4 version why exactly? Also, why are they filtering out random given names?

    Apparently the name was used in some obscure racist children's book, but like, who fucking cares? I'm just trying to name my pokemon after my friends.

    Isn't "extremely forced" Jack Sparrow's key character archetype?

    Lazy coding would be my first guess.

    Also I hope KH3 does like a double back sorta thing like KH2 did to get more time in each world and make the game longer. I really liked the whole flow of that game.

    I just really hope that if this game is using a command deck, that they make both shoulder buttons cycle the list instead of only one or just the reset to favorite position that BBS and DDD did.

    going by trailers, I don't think it uses the Command Deck.

    It's a mainline game. The deck stuff is side game stuff.

    I've only played 1, 2, and part of BBS. Does Maleficent ever reach the villain heights she had in 1? It seems like they put her on the backburner of villany with Pete and she's just "there" but not really a threat to anyone.

    Maleficent and Pete in KH2 are very much Rita Repulsa and Goldar and I love it. Which makes Organization XIII the Machine Empire, for those following along.

    Though I like less that they sidelined every other Disney villain, only having Hades and Oogie Boogie show up in their respective levels as a local boss (and Ursula for a song), and having Agrabah being all about how Jafar coming back would be bad but you don't actually even see Jafar.

    don't you fight jafar's genie form? or was that in KH1

    Apparently I was wrong and it happens on the revisit, which I'd forgotten.

    You do also fight him in 1, though. And CoM.

    So I've decided I'm not a huge fan of the 'drop' mechanic in 3d. It's kinda funny, I expected to not like it because it would interrupt me mid world run, but that isn't what bothers me. What bothers me is when I'm trying to do side content of some sort, like collecting treasures I've missed.

    Man...I started DDD in the PS4 collection, and was fighting one of the first bosses and was like 2 hits away from killing him when it dropped me to Riku. Haven't gone back to that game since.

    I just realized... the Deluxe edition of this game...

    Maybe it’s the Nobody of a secret Elude edition...

    Or maybe it’s the nobody of “DDT Eileen, oiu”

    I've been watching this one streamer play through the whole series as a refresher for KH3. He's doing a whole run that he started on 1-1. Currently in the middle of KH2 and man o man it's just reminding me of how much I loved that game.

    Also glad to see that he feels the same way about it.

    It's just so fun. Like just pure fun playing that game. And it has a bunch of different systems that just all work well together and it really makes you care about making use of them all and ugh.

    It's crazy that I haven't played a single action-y jrpg since KH2 that has actually managed all of that. It's been so dang long.

    Oh dang. There's keyblade artwork that was just released for some assortment of the worlds. I didn't go through so I can't tell you how many and I want to avoid it so I can't link it.

    I did see one that was used as the article image from the site I was on and it looked super rad.

    So if you are interested in that stuff go check it out!

    I saw it on gematsu.

    Looks like there’s also a leak of the Trophies (which would mostly line up with Achievements).

    Looks like most of them will be visible; only a few secret ones, and that article hides the secret ones behind its own spoiler tag... but don’t click the link if you don’t want anything spoiled.

    Did they redub her lines from the first game in the opening of KH2? Because apparently Mandy Moore played her in the first game and it seems real odd that they'd fuck up in the same way in both games with two different actresses

    I'm sure they did because I remember them dubbing over Billy Zane Ansem's flashback scenes with a new voice actor in KH2.

    Most likely they had her in a recording booth for 2-3 hours for all five of her lines in FF7: Advent Children and added on her KH2 lines as an afterthought towards the end of the session.

    "Oh, yeah, could you run through these lines, too? Same character, different situation. It's for some Disney game, Kingdom something-or-other..."

    I love that Square's commitment to casting Hot Young Actors in 2004 means there is a major product releasing in 2019 starring Haley Joel Osment, David Gallagher, Hayden Panettiere, and (probably) Jesse McCartney

    and who expected Hayden Panettiere would be the only one of those to still be sorta relevant

    David Boreanez was the perfect choice for Squall.

    I was so hyped for that when I first played since I was a huge Buffy/Angel fan as a kid.

    It's a damn shame they switched him for KH2. I was too a huge Angel fan too.

    Yea, I was also quite sad about that. The Angel voice and personality was such a good fit for Squall.
