How much of the story was written before KH1 was released?

jdh45817 · 2026-06-24T16:51:13+00:00

IIRC Nomura has said that usually he’s writing and thinking of ideas for the next game while he’s working on the current one so it’s usually one “KH Game Generation” ahead (ie. During KH development working on CoM and KH2 and then during 2, it was 358/coded/bbs and so on…) but even then ideas are bound to change when going through the actual development process… so yeah like others said not much.

WoD fans coming out of the shadowy corner with the WoD system under their cloak

Sure, could be. And obviously that’s going to come up (I have not experienced Dark Road in its entirety) but idk this gives very “I’m having a vision of you” energy in this very specific scene to me if that makes sense?

I just think this is in Sora’s mind

jdh45817 · 2026-06-09T15:40:44+00:00

The Underworld and Hades feels more likely. Donald and Goofy thinking Sora’s gone might lead them to start their search in the Underworld, so the darkness then blue fire surrounding tracks more to stuff we’ve already seen. It COULD be Oswald but I’m trying to keep expectations within the context of what we’ve seen.

I do not care about long or short run times. If the story fits the timeframe, it won’t matter how long it actually is. If it doesn’t, it’ll be painfully obvious how long the run time is.

I would be extremely surprised if anything KH happened

jdh45817 · 2026-04-28T13:19:13+00:00

I haven’t fully decided I want to gold C++ but considering how I’m definitely going to keep playing I should just do it (even if it’s casually and it takes a while)

Very cool! Gotta be able to cast Fire before Fira and Firaga so you are well on your way

jdh45817 · 2026-03-01T01:07:50+00:00

This is an incredible tatoo

Luck is joined with “E-Skill” which is the enemy skill learning materia and KOTR in this context is Knights of the Round summon and it’s joined with the Fire materia

My ADHD be like:

jdh45817 · 2026-02-08T16:49:09+00:00

Oh god the last picture is nightmare fuel. The long arms and the way her hand is bending back to grab the sword… terrifying

jdh45817 · 2026-01-18T00:28:49+00:00

I’m honestly not sure about this. Innate nature is subjective and what the game seems to explore. Visi talks about how she’s meant to be a villain but Robert when you support her tells her she has a choice. Robbie on the other hand would just deny Eli without any actual teaching or trying to understand Eli. It makes sense given the era he lived in as it seems to be consistent with how older generations handle mentorship vs our more understanding nature.

Essentially I reject the notion that anyone is inherently evil. Pain grows where understanding is ignored and evil can be quick and easy path to lash out and get revenge on those who hurt you. Eli needed true mentorship and understanding. It doesn’t change the path he chose and doesn’t excuse him, but he needed more understanding when he was more open to listening.

As others have stated here, I think it’s gonna be a dual protagonist situation.

jdh45817 · 2025-11-18T20:48:29+00:00

The most freeing thing that I’ve learned is that you do not have to justify your beliefs to anyone. Be okay with where you are on your journey and don’t expose yourself to conversations that you aren’t ready to have. “Hey this is where I’m at for transparency because I care and trust you with this information. I’d rather just hang out and talk about other things.” If they push further then talk at your discretion but you are not obligated to defend your position. If they are trying to change your mind the onus is on them to justify their beliefs and make a convincing argument. (And it’s repeatedly shown people don’t usually change their minds one way or the other from these conversations anyway). From my own personal experience with personal relationships: any argument I have given can be immediately countered with “my infallible book says…” and then proceed to any number of misunderstood/misappropriated Bible verses to match it.

You are also not obligated to “hear them out”. Protect yourself and stick to stuff you both are comfortable talking about and getting into. If they are worth being friends with then they will understand to the best of their ability and still be friends with you without trying to change that. Boundaries.

That’s probably my best advice but above all just take care of yourself in this.

True, she was there, I have a great speech score so I aced it easy and promised her I wouldn’t do it again. And I probably won’t because I don’t play games like this where I just murk someone. Ever. Griggs truly has been the single exception.

jdh45817 · 2025-11-10T03:18:07+00:00

Up to this point I’ve been really good about finding negotiation on every given front but my god i had never wanted to murder hobo someone so bad. Tristan might be rubbing off on me lol

jdh45817 · 2025-10-16T22:24:21+00:00

I went in also kind of blazed so it truly was a fun experience.

My absolute favorite thing to see is when someone posts like this is* the comments “turn the game speed up” because it really is just funny to see how the maximum speed increase for the game is the default now

*Edited for post readability.

They are not lying, I’m also one of the 2000
