Kingdom Hearts 4 will lead towards a series conclusion so Nomura can retire
Kingdom Hearts 4 is being developed with the intention of the series "being a story that will be completed".
The series died after KH2
I enjoyed 358/2 and Birth By sleep but I agree, KH2 was peak. I couldn't even play the third one as the stupid Disney park rides annoyed me(even though I heard that it could be disabled)
I always considered Birth by Sleep to be the last good entry to the series. Admittedly I never played the actual game of 358/2 and only got the cinematic version from the collection.
I was a massive fan of 1 and 2 as a kid and did a full series playthrough prior to the release of 3. I had a blast through BBS, but my god it was a slough in the later games(including 3).
I kinda doubt it. KH3 was meant to be the end, yet it continued.
And so Kingdom Hearts fans can retire too
I can’t wait until I can buy Kingdom Hearts The Final Mixed Series in 10yrs will all the games on one disc… though who am I kidding, physical media will be gone by then.
Doubt
Nomura should have been allowed to do FFXV without distractions. Now we gotta see his vision through Disney themed lenses. The first few FFXV trailers were very different than the final product we ended up getting.
No thank you.
Nomura was literally the reason that vsXIII never finished, and languished in development hell for years until he was taken off the project and it was rebooted as XV under a new game director who had to salvage and reuse as much as he could from Nomura's assets and work and put out a game. This is not to trash Nomura, but vs. XIII was a concept of a game, with tech demos, it but never a game built on a solid foundation.
Nomura is talented in many ways, but he has let projects overwhelm him in the past, and seems best positioned as a producer or scenario and art lead rather than the game director.
I loved Kingdom Hearts 3 regardless of the masses saying otherwise. It's my opinion, and I'm sticking to it. I've been around since 1, all the way til it's end.
I never even finished 2.
I absolutely loved 2. I beat 2 before I beat 1, but went back and beat 1, and beat 2 multiple more times.
I can't say I have an order, but I love:
- Kingdom Hearts 2
- Kingdom Hearts 3
- Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep
Those are my favorite from the series as whole.
I really couldn't ever get into Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories or Re:Chain of Memories.
Back in the day, I bought Birth by Sleep and beat it, but wanted more; so there was an English Patch of the final mix for PSP available and beat that too. And when the collection came out on PS4 (Before the PC release) I went and bought a PS4 Pro just for KH collection. Which now I am going back and beating all of them again but on Proud.
