Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream, Drop, Distance * Spoilers *

[Roy Karrde]

So I just finished the game, and I wanted to see what everyone thought. For myself the game started off incredibly hard, especially when you are struggling to figure out the controls, and the drop mechanic is tough when you have to replay boss fights or special summon fights because you started it with a low drop gauge, or because you kept getting hit.

That being said it seems like the pieces are finally coming together for the final game, and I did absolutely love the ending, of which since I put in a spoiler tag I'll go into...




....





(Spoiler:) Alright so we have the 13 Members of Darkness, which would seem to account for all of Organization 13, except they do not have Roxas or Sora, which means they only have 12, and now that Axel... er.. Lea has switched sides that makes 11. So there still needs to be 2 more.

Meanwhile you have the 7 Keybladers of Light, which would be:
Sora
Keyblade Master Riku ( Which I thought it was cool this game was more Riku's story )
Aqua
Ventus ( Seeing how the game sets up for him to wake up )
Lea ( With his new Keyblade )
Mickey
Kairi

So that still leaves two new characters for Organization 13 to bring in, unless they bring Roxas and Xion back.

So what did everyone else think? And are they setting up to bring pretty much the two main characters from 356 back for the third game?

AH FUCK I had a longass reply nearly done written out about what I thought of the game (I also just beat it yesterday), but when I backspaced at one point it fucking took my browser back and I lost it.

I'll come back later when I can be bothered to re-review it but for now I'll say it was DEFINITELY worth buying a 3DS for. I think with all seven games, it would be my third favorite in the series. After the first KH and 358/2 Days (odd choice, I know, but I'll explain later why Days is just that remarkable to me).

This is the game Birth By Sleep wanted to be.

I'm pretty curious about how the third game's going to span out as well. Here are some of the things I'm curious to see:

(Spoiler:) -First off, the rest of the new organization. So far we have Master Xehanort, Young Xehanort, Ansem, Xemnas, Braig and Isa. And from Young Xehanort's words, the rest are either going to be other variations of Xehanort, or Xehanort clones. Then there's the thirteenth member, who Sora was supposed to be.

-I'm not entire sure if Ven's going to be one of the 7 keybladers, since he and Sora are essentially the same person. We'll just have to see.

-What became of the rest of the original organization. We know Lea's been sent out to find the rest of the revived members. Does this mean we'll finally see who they once were? And end the debates on what their names are? I'm personally curious.

-If we'll ever see Vanitus again. We only saw him briefly in D3, so we know he's lurking within Sora somewhere.

Yes, that is one thing that annoyed me, I was looking forward to finding out of the origins of the four members we still don't know, and in this game they had more than enough opportunities to tell us (all that talk about the Organization being formed and whatnot) and they didn't.

I'm sure we will eventually, after all, if one of them was important enough to be a final boss, and another one Nomura said in an interview was his favorite. Plus, they have to have come from somewhere, it's not like Xehanort was much of a social outsider to randomly know people. And even if he did, he'd be specific in picking them for the Organization.

The gameplay is a mix of Kingdom Hearts and Crisis Core, which is where the melding aspect comes from, and it's really a lot of fun.
All these games have some glaring flaws but for some reason I'm super into them right now so you're gonna have to hear all about how they're the best games ever. Sorry. I am interested in vampire very much. Recently I was playing a vampire browser game Thirst of Night, it is developed by Kabam who also released Dragons of Atlantis, EdgeWorld, and Godfather: Five families.

Indeed, the remaining four members were definately interesting, from Demyx's personality, Luxord's dialogue in 358 1/2 days and Larxene's past (one of the novels hinted that Larxene suffered a great emotional pain before she became a nobody). We really need to find out more of these guys.

(Spoiler:) Also, I just realised the xigbar and Saix featured in the game are the ones from KHII, since Young Xehanort pulled them from the past. If that's the case, I wonder what happened to the REAL Braig and Isa.
