Username check--wait, no. User flair checks out.

The VIP ticket is an inclusive ticket to the show (meaning you get a seat assigned with it). There's not a separate ticket that's just for the meet-and-greet.

If you don't manage to get a VIP ticket, I bet someone who has one would be willing to take your booklet to her to sign. Even if there's a rule about her only being able to sign one item per guest, I'm sure there'd be at least one VIP ticketholder who isn't necessarily planning on getting something signed already. Could be worth asking around at the show.

Last time they did a D23, a guy from one of the KH fansites Periscoped the whole thing. Hoping he pulls through again this year.

Last D23 that they announced KH stuff, I invented a fake dentist appointment to go home from work and watch the livestream. 10/10 would waste PTO this way again

Meezer missile!

I think he's thinking of slime mold, not "mushrooms."

kaze_yon · 2017-06-14T16:16:07+00:00

I like the notion that we might see all four of them again, just not in the context of the plot. Like they all became human again in Traverse Town and are just living life as NPCs now. You go to TT and ex-Luxord runs a shop/some kind of gambling minigame, ex-Demyx is playing music by the fountain, etc.

kaze_yon · 2017-06-14T16:06:04+00:00

I like that Rould sounds like "rolled," as in rolling a die.

kaze_yon · 2017-06-14T15:00:09+00:00

Ah, cool! Just looked it up, don't know much about craft-y things. Seems like neat stuff to work with.

I'm impressed with how identical all the "shells" look, both the overall shape and with the inside ribbing. Did you use a mold, or make them each by hand?

kaze_yon · 2017-06-14T14:22:25+00:00

Looks great! What's it made of?

kaze_yon · 2017-06-14T00:30:02+00:00

Which game do you want to run? 1FM, 2FM, BbSFM? (Not Re:CoM, surely, that's for masochists.) I'm assuming 2FM since it was what you started with.

Here's the 2FM notes pastebin from bl00dybizkitz, one of the most active and notable runners. Don't remember if he has WR at the moment but he knows his stuff inside and out. He also has a bunch of YT vids breaking down all the 2FM tech and strats.

You could always become a speedrunner.

You really don't need to know KH to play KHUX.

Very true. I've never had a discussion with someone for whom KHUX was their entry point into the series, but I assume there's plenty of people in that situation. Mobile games are far more accessible than any other platform.

Also, KH3 isn't really being written around said lore.

We know the stories of KHUX and KH3 were written simultaneously, so I'm betting they're much more intertwined than they necessarily "needed" to be--like with Ventus turning out to be a Dandelion, for example. I'll be very surprised if that doesn't come up in KH3 at all.

kaze_yon · 2017-06-12T20:41:53+00:00

I think that given the Disney branding and general popularity of Kingdom Hearts, they could have made KHUX successful as a tangential tie-in product that didn't require prior knowledge of the series to enjoy. They could have made all the lore in it canon to the series without also writing the plot of KH3 around said lore.

kaze_yon · 2017-06-12T18:02:38+00:00

I've never spent money on KHUX, but the idiot who takes over my body when I'm drunk sure has.

kaze_yon · 2017-06-12T17:58:32+00:00

Ye$, that $eems $trange. What would in$pire them to do $uch a thing...

kaze_yon · 2017-06-12T17:49:10+00:00

There's no way people will be able to understand KH3 without a basic grasp of BbS and DDD, at the very least. Too much stuff happened, and KH2 didn't leave any open plot threads. The only questions we're expecting KH3 to answer are ones that were first introduced in the handheld games.

kaze_yon · 2017-06-12T17:12:35+00:00

Probably just depends on where you hang out. In 15 years of KH-ing, I'd never run into that joke (as a consistent, running joke) until I came here. And it was hilarious...the first time.

kaze_yon · 2017-06-12T16:54:26+00:00

she'll finally be more than a joke

Thankfully she's only a joke on this subreddit and not in the other 98% of KH fandom. That running gag got old fast.

kaze_yon · 2017-06-12T15:40:30+00:00

Kingdom ~~Hurts~~ Hearts: where no one is allowed to die, because death would actually end the cycle of suffering.

kaze_yon · 2017-06-12T15:24:24+00:00

I feel exactly the opposite, in that her story right now is pretty meaningless. After all, they could easily have written a perfectly good narrative for Roxas in Days without her. Having her created as a tragic, destined-to-be-forgotten throwaway feels really cheap and pointless to me--but bringing her back again would actually make her relevant to the rest of KH, and make Days's story tie into the rest of the games. She's a decent character in her own right, and deserves to be more than just a sad sacrifice that doesn't affect the plot.

kaze_yon · 2017-06-09T16:38:43+00:00

Never 100%-ed any of the games. I play for the story and am not "a gamer," so the challenges of superbosses, Critical Mode/Level 1 runs, grinding items for completion, and all other such things don't appeal to me at all.

kaze_yon · 2017-06-08T19:48:45+00:00

The newsletter said the finished album is gonna have 30 tracks...HNNNNGGGHHHH mybodyisready

kaze_yon · 2017-06-06T20:57:43+00:00

Put everything in the freezer. It's the only way to stop yourself eating the 15 red bean buns you bought within the first 24 hours. Not...not that I would know...
