[SPOILER] KH2.8 discussion

[faemarch]

I found it comical how many people were actually surprised by the fact that the latter half of 0.2 and entirety of Back Cover were blocked through PS4 Share.

On that note, though, I want to say that I found the conduct of the English audience in the stream chat very upsetting--they kept pestering the streamer to try and see if English subtitles/voices existed in 0.2 (they don't), and then continued to pester the streamer to show XBC despite being told and shown multiple times that it could not be streamed, for starters. At some point a troll came in and began shitposting in the stream, and another person began using Google translate to send crude messages.

It was probably more tame than what you'd expect to see in other places, but I still feel awful that the streamer had to put up with all of that.

(Of course, I could have just ignored it...)

All that aside, and without going into detail, the opening to 0.2 surprised me.

I'm still reeling from seeing X's Starlight keyblade in the 0.2 opening, interesting that they had it in a separate cut from the other generic keyblades in the graveyard.

The eye! The EYE! They went out of their way to put emphasis on it!

Yeah I remember a similar thing happening when ddd came out to the point the streamer closed the chat.

I saw, it was nightmarish to watch. I tried to address it, but only got lambasted by a few people through Reddit and the like for even attempting to do so. I really wasn't surprised though, anonymity is a dangerous tool.

I avoid twitch more oft than not because the childish nature of many commentors in chat is hard for me to really ignore. I fail to understand why people act the way they do. I planned on streaming my copy tomorrow, but I'll likely put the chat on slow mode to avoid the insanity.

I was screeching when I saw the zoom in on the Eye in Luxu's keyblade followed by the shot of Starlight before the pan up to Kingdom hearts. Like, that came from absolutely nowhere! And while it was in the end of the final trailer, I didn't expect to be before even the opening CG.

The KKD was behind the door in the secret place! Both Aqua and Mickey saw Riku who was being chased by a swarm of heartless. Aqua decided to take them on separating her from Mickey(who got attacked, ripping his shirt). Aqua sinks into the darkness again as Destiny island is being rebuilt. Ends with the famous mickey scene from 1.

After credits Aqua is seen walking towards the Dark margin where Ansem waits.

I'm not gonna lie I basically burst into laughter seeing that ending. I know it's supposed to be emotional and all that but the way they separate Aqua from Mickey in the last moment felt so hilariously transparent in what it was actually doing.

I have yet to see any of 0.2 but this gives me life. I have literally been wanting this combination forever because there is SO MUCH POTENTIAL to be explored there, especially on a "I don't like/trust you, bro," side. Now I really wish we could just get a side story of Lea and Kairi's training.

Also to clarify on the Terra and Ven scene. He can't see Ven, only Aqua. They talk and Aqua tells him where Ven currently is and lo and behold Geezenort takes control and now knows where Ven is.

So it's a case of "nice job screwing it up hero" for Aqua, huh? Damn, that's surely gonna haunt her.

Seems like Curaga wasn't a thing (yet?) in Daybreak Town, Aced and Gula look like they could've really used it. Or they could've used potions/ethers, but I guess the (PC X) players hoarded them all lol
