May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key.

I ask two things of Kingdom Hearts III:

- I want it to be heartfelt. I want it to love its characters, and to be having fun. I want it to feel something.
- I want it to be nonsense. If this game isn't absolute incomprehensible bullshit from start to finish, I'm demanding my money back.

Will this game fulfil my dreams?




It's time to find out.

I've now played through the opening of Kingdom Hearts III, and here are my thoughts so far! No major plot spoilers, but I'm putting these notes under a cut anyway, because I know a lot of you are planning to play this game and I don't want to give anything away. I've just finished the first gummi-ship segment.

This game is already fulfilling my dreams, and my drops, and my distances.

Coming Up With Spoiler-Free Titles May Also Prove Troublesome.

I don't want to give away the order of worlds in Kingdom Hearts III, but how do I make it clear where I'm up to in my entries without saying which world I'm in? Hmm. Here are my thoughts on the second major world you visit: the one with the ingredient-gathering quest.

I probably won't be making world-by-world entries for the entire game, but we'll see.

I've Built Up A Decade's Worth Of Rambling Energy In Preparation For This Game.

I said in my last entry that I probably wouldn't continue making world-by-world entries on Kingdom Hearts III. If this entry is anything to go by, they might actually end up being more frequent; I'm only halfway through my third world.

Note that my third world is not necessarily your third world, because, er, I accidentally flew to the wrong place. I'm in the world with the dandelion enemies.


( Thoughts on Kingdom Hearts III and the unfortunate new ship it's landed me with. )

At one point a character said 'Sora, Goofy and Donald' instead of 'Sora, Donald and Goofy' and I didn't know what to do with myself.
