    Good! More franchises should conclude. Give them a proper happy ending and move onto new stories. Instead of milking every last penny and wallowing in franchise rot.

    Nomura is retiring? Holy shit! That is the best news I’ve heard in years! Maybe we can start getting some decent fucking games out of Sqenix now…

    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 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.

    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.
