How does going to Traverse Town make the series jump the shark?

How many times have they been to Traverse Town in the series?

I thought they jumped the shark when they brought up these stupid nobodies and keyblade jedi knight shit. What happen to the simple good vs evil and power of friendship stuff?

Technically only once in KH1.

CoM was based on the memories of KH1 and Coded is the data from Sora's travels so..

lul.

Right, four games. Four ****ing games.

**** Traverse town. **** all these words and characters that we've seen in damn near every game, and **** this convoluted plot. Why should I pay money for a game that I've essentially already played? It's obvious that there isn't even a linear plot with an ending anymore. They're just making up shit as they go, like it was a TV show.

Cept Im sure barely anyone played Coded and not many CoM..

The plot may be slightly hard to follow especially for those that dont play some of the games, but the plots all there. Everything leads to and bounces off to other games. Been planned since KH1 IIRC.

Meh, it has a interesting story and great gameplay and new ideas. Thats more than most games..

Now see....you've played BBS. And if there is one world that deserves this complaint, it would be the Olympus Colosseum level, not Traverse Town. That world actually has been in every game, iirc.

As for new characters, I has no idea who these new kids are(apparently from another Square game whose name I'm blanking on) so yeah, we aren't seeing Squall or Aerith....so far. Probably won't during the game.

But there are new worlds, such as one for the Hunchback of Notre Dame, a new Tron level based on the sequel(looks to be different from the one in II), and the one I'm looking forward to the most, the 3 Musketeers.

So yeah, you're complaints really aren't worth much to be frank. Not in regard to this game at least. If you were to complain about recycled worlds, either Coded(which is really just a computer world) or COM would deserve more heat. Especially considering worlds like Traverse Town, Radiant Garden, and Twilight Town are more or less significant from a story perspective that connects the games. Sure, they're old, but they're important.

I did...well...I played Coded. Which was pretty fun. The KH game with the most varied gameplay.

There is absolutely no way that they've had this convoluted plot planned since KH I. I mean, Jesus.

I agrees.

Edit: "And now you shall receive the Lord's Judgement!"

......

Okay, yeah this game is awesome. I REALLY hope they delve into Frollo wanting to bang Esmeralda. Darn Gargoyles though. >_>

I didn't think it had gameplay besides pushing blocks o.o

Its something I read a while back, that they had the CoM and KH2 plots in their heads while developing the game, and were planning them out before the Final Mix came out. Its not 'we Aizened everything from the start' but, still impressive.

And the characters are from The World Ends With You, a must play Square game.

It does. Side scrolling, rail shooting, normal KH combat, one Final Fantasyesque Turned Based section, one stealth section, and even one level where Sora can't fight, at all, and you command Donal and Goofy to do it for you. It's the only game where I thought the Alice in Wonderland boss was fun!

Yeah..I can see them having ideas for plots concerning the next two or so games...but yeah, no Aizen.

Hmm...may play.

That actually looks ok, far better than the KH tetris I imagined lol

I'd be replaying TWEWY right now if I didn't give the bloody thing away -,-

I lol'd.

Concert was AMAZING.

I got to drink with Chrigel. I GOT. TO DRINK. WITH CHRIGEL. I told him about the time he stepped on my fingers at another show and we laughed together, had a great time, talked about music/girls/booze/the show, guy was really, really nice.

They played this, many of you will enjoy it, I promise:

I am probably the only one here who has any idea what you are talking about.

THEN TO TRANSLATE:

I got to drink with a musician I am a great fan of. Lead vocalist/pipes/mandolin player from Eluveitie, the man with the dreadlocks in the above video.

I know just enough about Eluveite to know to be envious. How did that happen?

I left the barrier during Bodom to go buy a shirt, and saw Chrigel nearby, so I offered to buy him a drink. He accepted and we talked and laughed and enjoyed the show together for a solid ten minutes.

That's awesome.

Very informative and amusing. Video gaming's first (?) transgender character shouldn't be retconned out imo.

Plus Poison is hot.

Thing is she wasn't originally a tranny so I dunno.

Watch the video, she was.
