Kingdom Hearts III killed my love for the saga (lemm.ee)

⚠️This post contains spoilers about the end of Kingdom Hearts III.

KH has been my favorite serie since around the airing of the second one. I've beat the main story of every entry and even bought consoles for it, since it spread on so much systems...

I was very hyped for KH III and bought it day one, then finished it in about two weeks, if I recall correctly. It's been a blast and it's been such a fun game.

Where I had a problem, was that the story of KH III was so underwhelming. The story was almost inexistant until the final part of the game. It has some great moments, but we're talking about a game supposed to end a saga that started early 2000. It was highly anticipated. And all we got in the end was a succession of deus ex machina to close all the story that has been opened and the main anthagonist of the serie that just suddently change his mind after being defeated. His whole life was dedicated to his plan, so why drop it like that ?

I've always had this in mind since KH III got out and wanted to vent. I don't feel like playing the serie anymore, since the storyline is just so confusing, and the writting very poor in my opinion. And I hate feeling that way, because It really had been my favorite video game saga...

Do people feel the same about it ?

Thanks for reading.

I'd say the intervening... what was it... 15 year?... gap is what killed my love for the game series. I was in middle school when I played the first one, and I never even bothered with KH3. The story was painfully overwrought by the end of KH2, and I knew that tacking on another sequel wasn't going to fix it. Nomura is going to Nomura.

It's a shame because the series was one of my favorites back in the day. At least the soundtrack will always be good.
