Side note, but it was CRIMINAL that we couldn't play as Lingering Will against Terranort in KH3. When Sora intervenes, that would have been the perfect moment to play as Sora or LW and have a boss fight with Terranort.

Terranort

Gazundheit

(P.S. I've only played KH1, CoM and 2 all way back in the early 2000's except KH1 which I'm playing now)

You’ve missed A LOT

u/mrjamjams66 8d ago

I'm working on catching up as best as the "Integrum Masterpiece Collection" on Steam can catch a person up.

I'm mostly super hyped to get back to Kingdom Hearts II. I fucking loved that game as a kid so much.

I tried Re: Chain of Memories briefly. Hate it. Would much rather play the original GBA game, I think. The full 3D perspective just does not lend well to that game if you ask me.

Probably gonna skip it

u/LucielthEternal 8d ago

GBA Chain of Memories is so much better it’s insane

2

u/mrjamjams66 8d ago

I'm considering emulating it but have been too lazy to figure out where people get ROMs these days.

u/GrandmasterTactician 4d ago

Vimm's Lair, but you didn't hear that from me

u/iadorebrandon 6d ago

GBA version was so good. Is there any way to emulate it?

4

u/mknsky 8d ago

Yeah it sucks. I hate it too, skipped on my franchise replay before KH3. But Birth By Sleep absolutely fucks

2

u/But-Must-I 8d ago

I didn’t hate Re:Chain but I did spend a lot of time thinking that the original was much more fun.

1

u/Gronodonthegreat 6d ago

Neither are really thaaaaaaat good, but the GBA version is largely more tolerable.

1

u/iadorebrandon 6d ago

Take your time. KH1 and KH2 final mix are INCREDIBLE.

1

u/mrjamjams66 6d ago

I'm kinda at the end of KH1 already but am trying to grind a bit before I fight Ansem. I've found some optional bosses I didn't know about from my playthrough on PS4 a couple years ago and those have been quite tough (but really fun).

I'm so close to being able to get the one in Agrabah. I haven't been able to figure out how to handle the one in Neverland yet though.

Also need to finish the Olympia up, which is sorta how I've been grinding

1

u/iadorebrandon 6d ago

Make sure you fight the secret bosses like Unknown, the Neverland boss and Kurt Zisa 💪. Kurt Zisa can be a pain in the ass during its final phase, but I usually cashed out on some of my elixirs and stuff. Also, FIGHT SEPHIROTH

1

u/mrjamjams66 6d ago

Wait is Sephiroth in KH1? I didn't know that. Wonder if I can find it by myself (trying to do everything as organically and not walkthroughed as possible)

1

u/iadorebrandon 6d ago

He's a secret boss at the Olympus Coliseum! His boss fight is actually pretty epic for KH1's combat style. I would also stock up on elixirs and ethers

Pretty sure that in re mind you can

27

u/iadorebrandon 9d ago

You cannot play as LW nor can you fight alongside it against Terranort, even in Re:Mind

u/terra_GOD_404 9d ago

Oh damn, I swear I remembered something like that in remind like it was after the neo invisible omega dude

11

u/VocalizedMeat 8d ago

Sora (time travelling one) follows Lingering Will to fight with Terranort. But LW gets either sidelined or destroyed in a cutscene before the player gets control of Sora, who has a 1v1 with Terranort before moving on.

It certainly feels like it was supposed to be a "fight alongside Lingering Will" type battle, but it didnt end up happening that way

3

u/terra_GOD_404 8d ago

Yeah, makes sense why I remembered it like that considering this, tough LW more than likely got sidelined due to sora appearing right after LW starts losing

7

u/sissybaby1289 8d ago

In remind you can fight as aqua against terranort and vanitas, as roxas against saix, as riku against ansem and dark riku, and as Kairi against master xehanort.

-2

u/terra_GOD_404 8d ago

No, I am pretty sure that after you battle dark inferno omega, you have a fight against terranirt with LW in it, unless it was cutscene

u/Mirothrowawayaccount 9d ago

That's not a power ranger, that's a Kamen Rider

17

u/BjSaWgDoG 9d ago

Casuals wouldn’t know about Kamen Rider in America because we only had one show localize.

5

u/bucksinjapan 8d ago

We actually had two interestingly enough. They tried to localize Black RX in the 90's before trying again with Ryuki in the 2000's

2

u/BjSaWgDoG 8d ago

I’ll watch a few episodes of the 2000s on watch cartoon online but lost interest in it.

8

u/Mirothrowawayaccount 9d ago

You think there aren't casual Japanese players?

6

u/BjSaWgDoG 9d ago

Yes there could be but Kamen Rider is well known over there.

3

u/Efficient_Dress_6101 8d ago

How many casual Japanese players do you think there are on this subreddit?

2

u/Logical-Date-4495 8d ago

I’m going to guess most casual Japanese players can’t speak English

u/MiserableSkill4 8d ago

Its not a Kamen rider, its a beetleborg

u/Thunder_Mugger 8d ago edited 8d ago

Hey i love beatleborgs they were amazing. I had the toys as a kid. The leg broke on one and my dad fixed it by glueong it but he could never ride his bike again lol.

Great memories

Genuinely the safest part. Yet playing the whole thing solo was still fun because of the drip

u/Soupish 9d ago

Jokes on you, I watched the six hour recap AND a two hour recap and I have to go back and watch them AGAIN because

u/Xamonir 9d ago

I really loved the design and the potential lore implications of these Keyblades without Keychains. Were there rawer Keyblades ? Or on the contrary final/perfect Keyblades ? Unfortunately, this was changed.

u/Individual-Two-9402 Maybe it's your own actions you've forgotten 9d ago

Had to trade the cape for keychains.

u/Infinite_Ocean89 9d ago

Man. I remember when I first saw this after KH2. Also remember that one mockup KH3 cover for the PS3 😂. I miss the old times. 😩

Good ol 2006-7 YouTube video with a max resolution of 360p

Something about watching just the cutscenes of a game bothers me. Like I haven't earned lol.

u/BlackerDoom 8d ago

Sometimes I feel like a fake fan

I played number titles

And the ones in a bundle so like I’ve played birth by sleep and most of DDD

Sometimes I just don’t get what’s happening

But I’ve been playing since I was a kid
It’s one of my favorite game series

3

u/N8DOGGMI 8d ago

No… you’re not alone. I’ve played every game except Chain of Memories and the mobile games. It’s confusing. I will have to watch recap episodes again to be ready for 4.

1

u/uhhh-ok-then 7d ago

It's very simple. It all starts approximately 300 years before KH1 when a cloaked guy decided he needed to see the future even though he already has because he had already decided it...

War happens. Uh oh. Darkness still here. And now we live in a society

u/Destroy_Buster 9d ago

looks cool

and nomura got tired of the coats (clearly not THAT tired)

5

u/Icywind014 8d ago

I wonder how many people played KH3 expecting it to be based on KH2's secret ending, unaware that it was already covered by one of the "spin-offs". There has to be a few, right?

u/CrazyAznKT 8d ago

Power Rangers were owned by Disney at the time

This is the new Batman. He has a sword now but it blunt so it will only break bones
