So, after all the trailers that it has been shown and the information we've been given, and with only near a month left until the Japanese release, let's ask... who's very wary of 'Birth by Sleep'. I know, some of you will be thinking "Oh great, Chrono's going to rant on how shit KH has been", but I tried looking forward to BBS, but it seems my niggles and cynicalism always going to get the better of me.
I mean, really? I know 358/2 Days is better than KH2, but that isn't exactly hard, is it? But it didn't try hard to be a lot better than KH2. It was just... better than KH2, by a little. But luckily, I didn't put a 'single penny' towards it. Zero, Zilch, Nil. I've completed the Japanese Version, hated how everything is wrapped up and the game took a drop down in quality before its 2nd half of the game. Pirated it in English and I was right, great beginning, great plot at the start, quickly became stiff, cumbersome and shit.
What really annoyed me thus far in Birth by Sleep is the amount of stupid ideas I've witnessed. I mean, really, vehicles-esque Keyblades? Also, the story and hints sound a bit pants so far, and Terra's side of the story just sounds like "What it would've been like if you had the option to play as Riku in KH1". The gameplay I'm very wary of, as it may be like COM's deck system, but I bet it will be dumbed down and resort to button mashing at some point.
And wouldn't it hurt Square-Enix to hire some new artist instead of reusing Hikki's songs. I would be perfectly content with istrumental music instead of listening to another S&C/Passion song. Every trailer I've seen and all the information of BBS I've read, it's just making me hate the game more and more. Who knows, maybe I'm up to a point where I've grown out of KH? Or maybe I love the series a lot because of my nostalgia with KH1 and Chain of Memories, which I loved when I was young.
But as it stands now, I'm up to a point where BBS will repeat the fate that I had with Days. Not a single penny goes to Birth by Sleep, and I'll probably give up the series or something.
Anyway, what about you lot?
[Anyone who argues or points out that "The game isn't even out" or "You haven't played it" and trying to diminish my points/opinion is getting a kick up the arse or nega-rep]
