Where do these reviewers keep getting the pronunciation "Niku" from? Especially now - they say his name with voice acting so many times in this game lol.

My guess is they have different people write the script and then just have this guy read it.. it happens all there time on these big review channels where they mispronounce characters names, so I assume that's why.

It’s been voice acted since at least 2012 with Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance. Sora lampshades the lack of last names for the Kingdom Hearts original characters when observing that Neku Sakuraba is a mouthful to say.

It is obvious that the person narrating this review didn't play the game but was rather reading off of a script written by someone who did. It isn't Niku but rather Neku, and it isn't Nagu but rather Nagi (The script must have a typo that clearly the narrator didn't know since he didn't play the game). Also, when pointing out the fixed camera angles, I assumed you were talking about the exploration outside of battle. However, during that talking point, you were just showing battle gameplay where you can freely adjust the camera angle. It gives off the impression that the battle scenarios themselves are the ones that have a fixed camera angle which is incorrect and misleading. As much as I appreciate the score you gave the game, I really can't say this review really justified why.

Rin? He’s called Rindo, and gets called Rindude by Fret, Lord Rindo by Nagi and Rindragon by Swallow, but never Rin. Can’t even blame this on the reader mispronouncing it, unless they think the do in Rindo is silent.

Same here. I just had so much fun with this game I didn’t except to like it more then the original but I do.

14 years later, here we are. The game is finally available.

You just sold me the game. Downloading on the PS4 right now.

My main problem with the game thus far is it feels a bit repetitive. And sure you could argue the original game was repetitive too, but the first game from what I remember was a much shorter experience, so it didn't feel like it overstayed it's welcome. I think I'm at the halfway point and I'm personally starting to get worn out from it gameplay wise. It sucks cause the story is interesting and I wanna see what happens next, but at times it feels like I gotta do a bunch of crap I don't find that interesting to get to that point. And maybe I'm speaking prematurely, maybe as the game goes along things will vary up the pacing, but it kinda feels like a lather rinse repeat type of affair and I get the impression it's not gonna change that much. I think most of the mechanics are fun and unique on their own, but when they're structured the way they are, it can start feeling like Groundhog Day. Anyone who reads this, don't take this as me saying it's a bad game, I think it's good so far and maybe by the time I reach the end I'll even think it's great. But at times it does just feel like a standard fetch quest type of affair that I find myself wanting to rush through to get to the good stuff. It's kinda like how Persona 4, which is a fantastic game in my opinion, can start to drag during parts where you have to fetch for intel and you start to notice the pattern and get tired out by it.

I completely agree. I'm so burnt out by the repetitive gameplay and story and I was looking at reviews to see if anyone else felt the same. The music and mystery element is the only thing keeping me playing. Even the complete the day missions are repetitive, find this, find that, boss fight. It's way too easy on normal and hard, hard even makes it more boring as the fights are longer.

This game does has my interest and looks fun 🤩

Question for everyone. When I changed difficulty from normal to harder, it slashed my hp in half. Despite changing it back to normal it won’t give me my hp back. Does anyone know why?

@raisie6334

2 жыл бұрын

The difficulty (easy, normal, hard) does not affect your HP. Your HP are bound to the level-meter. You can raise or lower your level to manipulate drop rates. This system is totally independent of the difficulty :)

Sub par results of arrested development and termanator. The reason for those not continuing well is the same as most things made today then quickly going bad. Too little attempt at quality and too much check boxing, message making, copy paste, and lecturing in the product.

This game kicked so much ass I almost passed it up cuz the beginning was so boring how much I don't regret it such a great story and fun gameplay

Nice

I liked Neku 🤷‍♂️

Hello guys

First like!!!!👍👍👍

Deeeecent

I was really disappointed. It took me 50 hours to beat story mode. Do I want to go back to collect every pin? No. Collect all the clothes food and music? No. Finish on the highest level of difficulty? No. They should have made Neku the lead or make it parallel to the new characters they introduce? Yes. I say this because playing the game, I wanted to follow the original cast because I was already invested in their stories

Time to move on my dude, new scene and new cast

I 100% disagree that these characters are superior. If you think the originals aren’t fleshed out clearly you haven’t payed attention to the story. Those are some of the best written, most complex, best developed characters I’ve ever seen. These characters don’t have nearly as clear arcs or development, and don’t connect to me nearly as well as the originals. I just kept hoping to see the old ones, though I liked the new ones okay, they just didnt have the same ompf as the originals. Besides, it’s clear you don’t know the originals anyway. Nee-ku? Oh please.

That frame rate though
