    Mickey also apparently has some magic chops of his own.

    He whips out Ultima, and has a Stop spell so powerful that only someone who exists outside time itself could escape it.
    I really liked Xehanort using his own Stopza against Mickey at the end. I bet he was feeling really petty about last time.

    oh boy done with KH. the only thing I'm missing is stuff I really REALLY dont want to do (minigames and synthesis lists). I'm fine with all the Mickey Emblems, Ultima and the Battlegates clear.

    To be honest, this is definitely top 3 KH game for me.

    It's a grudge he'd either been nursing for a few months, or his entire adult life, depending on how you look at things.

    Aaaah, so THAT'S who that was. When I first got the cutscene on my own playthrough, I thought it might be Skuld, but I hadn't tried to connect the voice actors. So who's the "he" Ava is referring to, then? I would imagine it has to be Ephemer, right? Since he's the only male that Ava ever seemed to have much attachment to.

    Guys, I know this game and KH in general aren’t perfect, but still, this may be one of my favorite games I ever played and the entire ending sequence from
    Keyblade Graveyard
    onward just resonated so hard with me and had me all over the place emotionally. I loved it so much I voraciously attacked the game to get platinum. I spent a literal 4 hours hand writing a list of synth materials I needed to complete the synthesis list. I dunno what to say. I really liked this game.

    Dang.

    These Disney worlds are so good. Just beat Pirates yesterday.
    Arendelle was lovely. So pretty. So fun to explore. And they snuck in a full performance of Let it Go?? Yes please. That was fantastic. Pirates was an awesome surprise.
    That Jack Sparrow VA was pretty bad at sounding like Johnny Depp though. Sailing around an exploring all the islands was great though. And the underwater stuff didn't even feel bad.

    So only 1 Disney world left and the only one that was kinda meh so far was Monsters. I guess the plan to have slightly fewer worlds but make them all that much better really paid off.

    Pirates was probably my favorite world, which is dumb as hell because those movies are not very good.

    Yea I was really shocked that they managed to make the Pirates world also the "underwater" area of the game and yet it was really dang enjoyable.

    The only thing I didn't like about the underwater stuff was that you couldn't switch keyblades while swimming.

    Also, all those shitty open-world exploration games made with unreal that have dogshit performance need to take a look at KH3 and figure out what they can do to make their games not perform like a steaming pile of shit.

    Yea KH3 does map design in a way that I hope at least other JRPGs take notes from. They are all individual levels but don't just feel like hallways. There is stuff hidden around and you actually feel like you are rewarded for exploring. And even then it's totally possible to miss a chest. It's not just "hey look a dead end path on the minimap let's go there first and grab the chest"

    Feels so good to explore but none of the open world feeling of aimlessness you can get sometimes.

    Omg.

    Big Hero 6 world.
    This place is so awesome. It's so pretty, so big and Sora being able to hang out with a bunch of people around his age is awesome. Especially since they are all tech nerds and he is so bad with that stuff it's great. Also that they are able to use storyline stuff after the movie is even better.

    I really don't won't this game to end. My GF came home early last night and I told me to keep playing but I declined because I don't want it to be over..

    I’m pretty sure this feeling right here is why i platinumed the game. Anything I could do to keep playing it and drag it on a bit longer, I did.

    Secret movie stuff:
    I finished the game last night, and I've been reading back through the spoilers and nobody seems to know who the guy at the end of the secret movie is. I thought it was obvious:

    It's Yozora from Verum Rex.

    the rest of the Organization being alive again or from different points in the timeline I can handwave but Xion was straight up erased from existence, and the Organization doesn’t have access to Sora, Roxas OR Naminé to make another copy of her

    I guess Xemnas could have travelled back in time and made another one, but then how would she remember Roxas and Axel

    yeah, I was fine with Vanitas and AnsemRiku being around, that tracks with the time travel BS

    but Vanitas and AnsemRiku just died, they didn't get obliterated from history

    I dunno, maybe I'm asking for more commitment to their rules than KH is willing to give, I'm relatively new at this

    Most people are assuming the black robe guy is the Master of Masters.

    I finally got to the final (?) checkpoint in the return to the Hollow Bastion in KH1

    How much game do I have left? is it concievable I could beat it in an hour or two, or is there bullshit that's coming up?

    if you're in Final Mix you got a couple of very long fights

    probably two hours though, unless you get stuck on the finale, which is possible because it's very hard

    You have to beat the final world, which apparently has a few rehash fights (one for each world), the fight where you get super glide, and then the final boss.

    But you'll get superglide!

    Im thinking that Xehanort stopped time at the moment of her tragic death, and offered her an opportunity to live. Then took her into the future and put her into one of their new Replica bodies.

    Yea very much so. I pulled up the treasure list and saw the number way bigger then the others and was just thinking how perfectly suitable that is. Just sailing around hunting for treasure and lucky emblems.

    So... what are the chances the secret movie isn't a teaser for the new game but instead the big Final Mix DLC package they intend to put out? They did say there'd be a whole new world in it.
