I dont think I really even... care about the Keyblade War. And I certainly dont care about hearing a long drawn out story about bad OCs doing something for 80+ hours to stop some vague threat they know of but never actually talk about in explicit terms for some reason.

So why do people like it so much? Is it because so many of the male OCs are pretty and they wanna ship them? None of what is presented to us seems particularly unique or creative, it just seems like filler for the sake of drawing things out.

Kingdom Hearts usernames are the equivalent of unironic anime avatars on twitter.

Theres more creativity and fun in 5 lines of Xeno series lore than all of Kingdom Hearts combined.

KH lore was better before BBS. Everything that came after KH2 just made the lore and story worse imo.

Not saying KH1-KH2 have great lore, but at least it wasn't so drawn out. And it didn't involve time travel.

I only cared about the story in KH1. Everything after that was pretty much gameplay and Disney Worlds for me

BBS wasn't about time travel. It was 3DS that really sunk the lore boat.

Oh I know, but BBS had a few things that I disliked too. But BBS is still far better than DDD imo.

I find most of the KH lore to be more stupid than boring. It's like, here's a game that people loved because it combined beloved Final Fantasy characters with Disney characters (and let's be honest, 80% of the appeal was the Disney parts) in a plot that is only thinly-fleshed out to justify all the crossover, and then it kind of morphs over time into Nomura's weird deranged fanfiction about characters I don't even remotely give a shit about doing things I have to play 47 side games to really understand, with the Final Fantasy characters mostly phased out and the Disney characters almost becoming secondary to all the nonsense bullshit.

It feels like the franchise was great in KH1, still worthwhile in KH2 (but already starting to show cracks, because Chain of Memories was weird, and not even on the same console as its parent games), and then leapt straight off a cliff into inanity. It's a large part of why I wasn't even remotely interested in KH3.

So why do people like it so much?

I feel like most of the people who legit enjoy it are mostly doing so because they're still clinging to the Disney nostalgia in spite of all the other stuff. Or really enjoy the gameplay, but are doing their best to ignore most of the plot (I've outright heard people say this, or things like it).

I also think there's a lot of the fanbase who just loved KH1 and KH2 who sort of feel obligated in a way to enjoy KH3 (because gamers, in general, are masochists, and will often suffer through franchises we once loved but which have now betrayed us - see also Halo fans, CoD fans, and Mass Effect fans).

There's also always going to be the rabid knot of fans who actively followed the franchise through all the GBA titles and DS titles who are deeply invested in the NOMURA LORE, who love all the same shit that people like you and I are rolling our eyes at. Which is fine, and congrats to them, but it does mean I will never, ever be able to relate to them or their opinions when discussing the game.

I've been playing it for the first time this last week and I feel like I might have enjoyed it when I was little, but seeing as I absolutely loathe what Disney has become and never much cared for them in the first place I just can't enjoy it so much .I wish the FF characters had a bigger presence, I enjoy when they're on screen.

But why are the ff characters so differnt? Tidus is now a child and has a differnt VA and looks only vaguely like him?

Clearly you played without subtitles. There is this thing called the "Chi-blade", but since none of the voice actors know how to say a Greek , it just sounds like another "Keyblade"...

That's the reason I put "key keyblade", because this series is that stupid.
