What a great quote.

The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history.

In hindsight I probably would have thought it was way cooler if I realized all of this stuff while I was playing rather than after it was all over. That's Nomura for you, though. I've played every single KH game multiple times and still had to watch a recap before 3 to really make sure I knew what was going on.

yeah, i didn't catch that when i was playing! it's a neat little detail seeing their descriptions when you assess them, but the implications are staggering.

too bad we won't see the resolution for another decade on the ps6!

I too didn't really catch it when I first played either. I was just so shocked/confused at what was going on that I literally took everything at face value through that entire chapter. I finished the game, thought, "huh, that was odd", and then watched the credits as if nothing really was different.

I even posted in another topic, while the credits were rolling, something to the effect of, "Yeah that was weird but at least the story is still intact", because it was entirely lost on me. It was only when I really started thinking about what I just played, along with going online, that I literally let out an audible, "what the fuck".

I've been pretty neutral on Kotaku but really like Jason, with him leaving I too see no reason to really read the site unless a compelling article is written.

Assuming KH3 loses tomorrow, it looks like we're going to go back to a four way tie for first, as Jona and I took it to win, whereas Paratroopa and joelypoely have Portal and are two back.

Still technically on top despite the terrible pick!

Guys can we just post this quote in response to anything BT says because I'm still laughing about it after seeing it last night:

What even is this game.

I will say despite my negative thoughts after finishing, I am all the way in for whatever nonsense comes next and that's going to be because I am no longer expecting a faithful remake like I was with this one.

I thought Witcher 3 would be getting 90% at least, in this case i think its elimination is just a matter of time.

Ah yes, just like all of the other 90%+ results we've gotten.

Yeah I tweet about moist matches. Not sure why, but it is a habit at this point.

What would you qualify as a moist match

The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history.

I am so conflicted with this game. I mentioned this somewhere before this topic came up but I both love it and I'm kind of disappointed at the same time. I feel that post-game emptiness that a lot of people get when finishing a long, good game/book, but I'm not sure if it's because it sucks that it's over or that I didn't like how it ended.

For the first 98% of the game I was incredibly excited for my hard mode replay immediately after finishing, but after that ending I kind of think I'm done? I can't even really explain why though because I would still say that I loved my time with the game. I almost feel like the ending makes the game retroactively less good for me, which I hate to say. I'm thinking back now at how much more dumb those ghosts were in certain points with the knowledge of what they represent.

Part of it for me was expectations. I don't think I was expecting something on par to the original, but the game was strictly marketed as X and I feel like I was delivered Y, and therefore let down when I didn't get X. Y is fantastic, don't get me wrong, but if they led with, "Hey this is Y", I would have said, "Well, I'm not sure I want that", then after I played it would have realized, "Huh, this might actually turn out really cool". Don't tell me I'm getting X and not give me X, though.

I'm rambling but I have a million thoughts.

Ending spoilers:

It's funny that people are debating how many parts there will be or what will be in the next part when this game is literally about to go off the rails with Nomura level bullshit. I am expecting at least one Xehanort/Sephiroth team-up in Castle Oblivion in the second part.

I just finished myself and I needed multiple minutes to process what was happening. So much so that I essentially completely missed what the game was very unclearly trying to tell me until I read stuff online and was like, "wait what".

I loved the game all the way through, including the ending, but I will say that after that ending I am no longer excited to jump right back in on hard like I was for the first 98% of the playthrough.

Also it's not great hearing that it's hard in an unfun way.

---

The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history.

Okay I have found the perfect explanation for the story and now I (don't) understand:

It's a sequel set in a remake. Antagonist somehow gets spoilers and tries to turn it into a reboot. Ghost people appear and try to keep it a remake. Main characters have no idea whats going on and just going along for the ride.

---

The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history.

Man I just read the Ulti topic from last week and now I'm even more confused about what is actually going on.

---

The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history.

Is this where I go to talk about what I just finished? I'm going to assume if you entered this topic you read the title because there will be massive unmarked spoilers in the rest of this post.

What the fuck is going on. The second half of that final chapter was some straight up anime Kingdom Hearts bullshit.

I'm not opposed, I thought it was great, just surprised. Also the Zack stuff had me incredibly confused for a second. I thought we were about to go full Nomura with some alternate timeline bullshit and two Clouds until I realized it was just the memories of that stuff.

Pretty sure Wedge and Jessie are dead but I'm not a huge fan of Biggs surviving. Those characters served their purpose, even if they were great in this one.

I think the changes at the end were fine, mostly because it doesn't really alter much, if any, of the future story, other than there no longer being an allure of what and who Sephiroth is.

This does set up for a great exposition dump via the flashback to open the next game.

---

The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history.

I think a slight alteration of a 2008 game deserves to make it to round three and then lose to GTA. That's my criteria.

---

The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history.

I have it on good authority that GTAV is indeed one of the best games of the decade.

Top 25 at least.

One of them is, and I'd argue that all three of them are equally the 'main' character!

GTa is getting annoying with these ridiculous % rise over the course of the day

part of me wants it to beat persona or red dead so it can get a deserved beating by Monado. Needs to be taught a lesson like Golden Sun did to its older brother.

Also, GTAV is looking to challenge Three Houses for percentage.

Maybe my GTA > Three Houses pick wasn't so bad after all. Other than Three Houses losing before it even gets to that point.
