You were just in another thread lecturing people about how they ought to direct their criticism of this game towards DLC development in order to address any lingering questions or concerns or desires they have about it. I feel this is an entirely reasonable bar to set and I share in this demand (not that there's anything in this world or the next that could move me to pay for more KH3). There was never any excuse for anyone to operate under the illusion that KH3 would be a magical turning point in this regard- sounds like the problem some people have with setting themselves up for disappointment is decidedly not ours. There have been KH games that have been out since the series' origins that people have vocally and effusively argued against at every given opportunity, and in far more inflammatory ways than anything we see now. I don't really care at all if people are tonally "nice" but this constant refrain that people, fans and ex fans, should be expected to tow the line a select few have determined to be fitting for the moment is past the point of absurdity. I do appreciate that the rest of your post, where I think we have points of agreement, but I felt driven to highlight that portion and respond unequivocally. If you or anyone else feels exhausted by the idea that other people will have and express feelings and perspectives that don't align with yours on a discussion forum, by all means take a break and give yourself space to emotionally recuperate, but nobody is responsible for writing the things you want to read and that's certainly not going to start happening because you demean their sentiments as "whiny." It's model gatekeeping of exactly the sort was confronting in another thread, and it needs to be said: there is a pervasive attitude problem on this forum, and it's emanating from one side of the aisle. Meanwhile, there's hardly a thread that goes by where someone doesn't pin a target on anyone (and often specific individuals) who defers from the hivemind, often preempting any actual discussion or debate towards a dissenting opinion, as if we're somehow encroaching on their sacred ground. You know, while the regulars here who have a negative take on the game are variously colorful, assertive and unrelenting in the ways we dispense shade on this installment, you'll notice it isn't really our prerogative to go about informing other people about how they should feel about the game as if they aren't entitled to feel otherwise, and by and large we make it a point to stick to what we dislike/detest about the game itself, and not about the people who play it and may have responded differently than us. While I agree that the constant whiny approach is exhausting We can't really tell people what they should or shouldn't expect though, so if they're setting up themselves for disappointment, that's on them. Having expectations is fine, as long as they're not over-expectations. Think of KH2FM: they added Dodge Roll and Cavern of Remembrance because many people were complaining about the lack of DR and platforming. KH3 is definitely not "broken" but there are some bad things about it (or better, some not-so-good- things) that could be easily improved, so I don't think people shouldn't have expectations. While I agree that the constant whiny approach is exhausting, I don't really agree with the rest of your comment.
They're just setting themselves up for disappointment by building it up in their minds that the DLC is going to "fix" what was "broken" in KH3. People need to stop thinking that KH3 needs to be "fixed". The reaction to this should be joyous and celebratory, instead the insults/hate/negativity flows. Ichiro Hazama, Business Manager on a number of past KH titles, will be stepping in as his replacement.
In Japan, both the rainy season and hydrangea blooming period begin in June, which coincide with the KH Orchestra concert in Los Angeles on June 8th and E3 2019 in the days following.Īs a result of Square Enix's recent internal restructuring, Shinji Hashimoto will be moving on from his role as Executive Producer of the KH series in order to lead the company's Media & Arts Business Division. Nomura has also confirmed more information will be released "when it rains more" and "when the hydrangeas bloom". The release date and price have yet to be decided.
