I have a feeling someone can chime in with a game that does exactly what I proposed, or a game that doesn't have a story, but I still maintain that KHUX is pretty awful in its current iteration, and has been since last 2016.I have a feeling there's something out there but I'm not sure.
Yeesh.
I really, really, really hope that what Nomura hinted the UX writers at suggesting is a movie or console game that covers everything from the end of BC to now because it's pitiful how little main story is given to us. I mean, Maleficent and Darkness's conversation occurred on October 2018. And now, in November 2019, we get a follow up THAT ISN'T EVEN A FOLLOW UP. 13 months for NOTHING.
I feel like such a fucking fool for thinking that Re:coded, DDD, and KHUX were setting up Maleficent having a big story in KH3 because I was left utterly wounded when KH3 rolled around and she was barely in it (and the biggest part of her story was relegated to the epilogue where you just see her turn around and walk away).
I have no idea what Nomura could possibly be thinking with this story because he withholds actually giving characters a story to work towards. We know Disney is strict but it's hard to discern what is a Disney restriction and what is a part of his lazy writing. Forgive me, Skuld fans, but KHUX is having a major Skuld, Ventus, and Maleficent problem because it has been years since these characters have been brought in and flaunted about for theorists but nothing has come about for them, and a big part is because of how little story is given to dedicated fans month to month.
For crying out loud, Square Enix North America considered the Keyblade War as proficient main story enough that they didn't even update the main story, which also happened when the Moogle o' Glory quests came in. It still baffles me, in this fucking day and this fucking age, in fucking 2019, the Square fucking Enix withholds 6+ months of 5 quest story just because they don't want to give this to the players.
I apologise, @KeybladeLordSora, that this post is so large and you got the notification because I quoted you, but I have been let down for the longest time by KHUX and SENA and really wish they would pull their fucking heads out of their stupid fucking asses and pull their shit together, because as much as it hurts that there are people pouring money into this game, REAL, ACTUALLY, Kingdom Hearts fans should only be caring about the story and how it influences the end of KH3 and the next game (y'know, the things that exist outside of paid content)*.
*not to say SEJP is clear of this guilt. They are also working at 5 quests per month, but they are the ones designing all this content to be delivered at this pace.
