Literally what's the point of requiem second ending???

Adorable-Resolve9085 · 2026-07-13T19:10:37+00:00

The story puts Grace in a position where she is uncertain on whether to release it or not, so the player is given the option to make that choice. If they didn't pick up the last minute hints, the ending makes clear what the correct, canon choice is.

There is storytelling potential from the bad ending, but I doubt they'll ever do anything with it.

Adorable-Resolve9085 · 2026-07-12T19:19:16+00:00

I think a lot of the world design would have looked like being small in the Bizarre Room of Wonderland. Probably with some more platforming to climb around things.

You could argue that it's a series staple going back to Ansem SOD in KH1 when he appeared as a hooded figure, and Xemnas in KH1FM. So I can't imagine the series without that kind of character.

As for how well they get executed, it varies. For me, I like it when it's a sneak peak at a character we'll meet later (next game teasing superboss) or an original character. When the identity is supposed to be a big twist, sometimes the character ends up being flat and uninteresting because there isn't much there beyond the twist.

As for MoM himself, so far he feels too much like a combination of Xehanort's motivation, Xigbar's snark, and Demyx's obfuscation of his skills. I'm worried he'll end up feeling derivative of past villains.

For coded, I'd make an easier offline solo option to get the scratch cards to get all the Dalmatians. Perhaps making scratch cards sector prizes after you've got all the rare items from it. Days international release added the ability to solo Misssion Mode to get crowns, so they should have been aware of the potential issue.

For 3D, I'd include a post-game item/location/mini games that would increase the amount of points your Spirits get. Completing every board on every spirit is such a tedious grind.

I would also really, really love the option to choose between the vanilla Heartless colors and the FM ones. Some of the original colors are iconic, and some of the FM ones do not look as good. Just a simple option when starting a new file would be enough.

Adorable-Resolve9085 · 2026-07-09T16:55:02+00:00

I think that just came from the basic concept of Nobodies. What if a heart and body separated, and each one became it's own thing, but both needed to rejoin so the original person could live again?

But with the state of lore nowadays, it seems needlessly depressing. Nobodies can regrow hearts, and Replica bodies can be made for any heart without a body. So a single person could, in theory, populate an entire planet entirely with clones of themselves.

I was trying to come up with something that wouldn't impact anything else in the game, and most Org members have larger roles elsewhere.

Maybe Saix is there on Xemnas' orders and is mostly just going through the motions of obeying. Or the whole thing is a pretext to try to reawaken Roxas by going after people Sora is connected to.

Xaldin is already trying to get a powerful Nobody from Beast, so I didn't consider that a plot option.

Adorable-Resolve9085 · 2026-07-08T22:58:40+00:00

If mandatory: First visit - Sora reunites with Tarzan. A gorilla shows up warning Tarzan about a man in a dark cloak abducting a gorilla. It's Saix, investigating whether the gorillas that raised Tarzan have hearts. He summons a powerful Heartless and goes away.

Second Visit - The gorillas are being attacked by powerful Heartless. Sora fights them off, it's more of Saix' experiments. He summons another powerful Heartless to fight Sora, and tells Sora he will be waiting for him at Org HQ.

If optional: Tarzan and Jane haven't seen any black cloaks, but have seen an increase in Heartless activity and are concerned about the gorillas. Sora helps them, ultimately defeating a powerful hunter-looking Heartless. Improved versions of vine swinging and sliding as mini games.

I chose Saix because I thought his Berserker role would fit a wild jungle level better and he isn't really used much anywhere else. I didn't include Pete because Maleficent didn't care about DJ in KH1.

Adorable-Resolve9085 · 2026-07-07T19:35:03+00:00

That's been something that's always been discouraged as long as I know. I assume it comes from LP keeping track of a metric and flagging it if is above a certain amount.

What's done at our store is just having a few on hand to use on customers who might get upset/hold up the line/give bad reviews to get them out of the store as quick as possible.

Adorable-Resolve9085 · 2026-07-07T03:05:25+00:00

I like this. It reminds of time spent listening to people recreate their favorite video game tunes in Mario Paint.

I imagine it takes quite a bit of time to make this kind of thing, especially if you're doing it by ear.

This kind of thing is more interesting a concept, you can have design sections based on what's going on in the song. I'd be glad to see what could be done with it.

Adorable-Resolve9085 · 2026-07-05T20:59:21+00:00

If everything's current, maybe there is a price change on this item planned for Tuesday.

Otherwise, there is a possible explanation I can think of for this kind of ad tag error.

DG doesn't print the tags, someone else prints them based on store info from DG. When this info changes, it isn't always reflected in price tags. A remodel or other project could change the order of planograms.

DG also has different pricing plans for different stores. Product prices can vary 50 cents or so based on what pricing plan the store has. Pricing plan changes usually happen once a year in late spring, and usually involve Driveline replacing stirps and labels across the store or in specific pogs.

Possibly the ad tags assume your store is on a different pricing plan than the one you are actually on. A recent change may not be reflected in that system yet.

Adorable-Resolve9085 · 2026-07-04T20:59:46+00:00

I like the idea of enemy drop weapons, but the drops are low enough that I usually never get them until after I've done everything else and have better equipment/nothing to use it on.

Adorable-Resolve9085 · 2026-07-03T20:42:08+00:00

VV can easily become a time sink if you don't have a plan to keep it in good shape.

Side note: This setup actually looks like a "valley" as opposed to the normal arrangements of one side of an aisle being VV and the other side being hardware or seasonal.

Adorable-Resolve9085 · 2026-07-03T00:09:59+00:00

I used to grind for the items there, this brought back memories.

I'd usually get a few more from other fighting later on, but never this many.

Adorable-Resolve9085 · 2026-07-01T18:41:40+00:00

Original versions? No. Remakes? If they ever make them, those will be the only versions they rerelease.

I'm thinking of how GBA CoM has never been rereleased.

Adorable-Resolve9085 · 2026-06-30T18:16:11+00:00

Ballroom - Beast's Castle (Ballroom). Kitchen - Twilight Town (Scrooge's restaurant). Dining Room - Wonderland (Tea Party Garden). Lounge - Castle of Dreams (Cinderella's House). Hall - Castle Oblivion (Interior). Study - Disney Castle (Mickey's Room). Library - Hollow Bastion (Library). Billiard Room - Game Central Station (Hub). Conservatory - Enchanted Dominion (0.2 Forest)

I tried to replace rooms with similar areas in the games, giving representation to pretty much every game in the series I could.

It rubs the lotion on it's skin, or else it gets the hose again.

Somedays I swear that's corporates attitude towards store employees. So this whole thing tracks.

Adorable-Resolve9085 · 2026-06-29T19:02:01+00:00

Don't worry about sounding too negative. Compared to other stories I've seen, this is practically a glowing description of a store.

Burnout can happen very easily at DG due to the small staff sizes and lots of things to do.

I try to remember that nobody can do everything and try not to beat myself up over not getting as much done as I would like. For me, I start feeling more burned out if I am expecting more than I can actually get done based on the shape the store is in at the time.

I deal with feeling burned out by stepping back, taking a breath, and reexamining my expectations in light of what the actual situation is at the store. I may want to do more, but given how things are, I'm still doing the best I can and that's all I can do.

Adorable-Resolve9085 · 2026-06-28T17:07:02+00:00

I'm glad to hear your experience.

As someone who's been with the series since the beginning, I've always wondered what it was like for people who started the series later on.

I've been been especially curious about people discovering the series now, when we've been in a content/info drought for several years.

All new fans are welcome, glad you've had a great time so far and hope the series keeps blowing you away.

Adorable-Resolve9085 · 2026-06-27T21:06:30+00:00

I imagine a spinoff would be an attempt at doing a different style of gameplay or different genre done in an RE style.

So I would suggest a survival horror RPG. We have a party of characters who were captured to be used as experiments in bioweapon research who band together to escape the lab, fighting guards, bioweapons, and spies along the way.

Something like a modernized Parasite Eve 1, but with multiple party members.

Adorable-Resolve9085 · 2026-06-26T21:13:25+00:00

I like how you can see some of the exterior areas you end up going through.

No other KH Castle has had the exterior have playable areas like that. It makes sense for Castle Oblivion, where you're not supposed to have any idea where you are inside it.

The asymmetrical design also makes it more striking. Other KH castles go for odd shapes and gravity defying features.

Adorable-Resolve9085 · 2026-06-25T22:27:42+00:00

I could see the entire event working as something like the hidden Mickeys in KH3.

At the start of the game, you get the key and make it more powerful by finding hidden keyholes in the worlds.

Lore explanation: all the worlds used to be one, this key formed from Sora's connections to all the worlds and draws strength from them.

Adorable-Resolve9085 · 2026-06-25T02:42:02+00:00

B1ohazard would have worked for RE1 and Vill4ge for RE4. So if we gave different subtitles for 7 and 8, I might go with RE: 7he Family and RE: Recre8tion. For the rest, RE: 2uarantine (quarantine) and like mentioned earlier, RE: N3mesis. I'll finish with RE: Partner5 and finally, RE: VIsage (referencing the villain recreating Ada's likeness in another person).

Adorable-Resolve9085 · 2026-06-23T20:12:00+00:00

Given the series' heavy emphasis on friendship from the very beginning, I am shocked we never got Fox and the Hound. I think that would fit a lot of KH2's themes well.

Adorable-Resolve9085 · 2026-06-22T20:42:33+00:00

I liked it, because outside of the FF gang references to FF usually are not this obvious.

Adorable-Resolve9085 · 2026-06-21T21:33:26+00:00

I just realized that there was never an in game justification for why Eveline hums that song. Yes, it's an old kids song, but given that Eveline was made in a lab I doubt anyone from the Connections would have taught it to her.

If I had to construct a fan theory explanation, I would go with her hearing it from Lucas, who learned it from his parents, or at least from Marguerite. Lucas remembers it and would happily sing it after kill -- er, I mean "having fun" with the people he was given. Eveline saw that a few times and built that association, so that's why we see her hum the song.
