Forum:WTF Nomura

In Kingdom Hearts II, Ice Cream was a slightly heartwarming cameo that was integrated into the plot as a password near the end. Silly, but it is a Disney-based game.

In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, the plot revolved around Ice Cream, and it was the main source of Roxas's angst about Xion's death. Embarassing.

In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Ice Cream is used as the basis of the form-changing system which allows you to kill things faster, and it is used to form the ultimate weapon. Ludicrous.

Why hasn't anyone on the development staff stepped up, slapped Nomura, and screamed "Are you actively trying to destroy this series?!" Glorious  CHAOS!  18:05, May 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Actually, if you think about it Roxas associates sharing Ice Cream with friendship, and because he could't share it with axel when left the organization, Xion was he only friend left. --Evnyofdeath 18:10, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * I understand exactly what the "context" was - the point is that Nomura chose to use it in that context. He based the game on ice cream. Glorious  CHAOS!  18:20, May 16, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you Neumannz!! Finally someone else who gets it!
 * Okay, to clarify - I'm not being entirely serious here, it's not a big deal. But it's still silly how much of the game is becoming ice cream. There's probably going to be ice cream enemies in the next game. Glorious  CHAOS!  18:40, May 16, 2010 (UTC)

I smell easy green....not surprising since this is from the same guy who killed off a flower girl in front of the main protagonist but can't seem to revive her with a Phoenix Down because for some reason the impossibly long sword kills her more than the giant lasers, sudden deep freezes, numerous poisons, explosions and infectious claw slashes a few minutes ago.

Yup, Nomura is trying to **** up the series. Apparently the story is that Nomura decided to try out Batman Forever on the SNES, and liking its gameplay and control scheme, decided to import some of its gameplay elements into the North American version of BBS. The ice cream is just the icing of the cake...from what I also hear they're gonna change the controls so that up jumps, L1 attacks, x accesses your inventory, start interacts and square uses the menu. Oh, and that also the third announced game is titled Kingdom Hearts Forever. Truly sad...just sad...--Pkthis 00:42, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

That still didn't make any sense.-- Lapis  Scarab   00:44, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
