Why Hate on Atlantica? (KH Rant)
I decided to put this post down because I would have bored you with my details of beating Kingdom Hearts Final Mix on Beginner and beating the Hades Cup, so here's my first Kingdom Hearts rant:
Or perhaps the header could be "Am I the only human being in the Universe who DOESN'T hate visiting Atlantica in Kingdom Hearts and wish that they could do it again in KH3?":(
Okay, before you tar and feather me for being a gooseberry, let me state a few things: I didn't like the Little Mermaid movie at all. When I had to watch it during one of my high school classes as everyone wanted to watch it, I sort of buried my face in my arms so I didn't have to see what was on the screen.
But why the hatred for it in Kingdom Hearts? I'm not talking about the time you visit in KH2 - My hatred for Ice Cream Beat in BBSFM shows that not a lot of people love rhythm-based mini games, although I still enjoyed the songs in KH2 Atlantica and did them much better than Ice Cream Beat.
We won't discuss KH2 Atlantica as it wasn't really a world to explore, more like a series of mini-games like Ice Cream Beat revolving around the story of the Little Mermaid film(which I stated I didn't like, although now that I had to endure the songs, I really enjoy them).
Let's talk about the fuel that fired the flames... KH1 Atlantica.
This is what everyone hated - the whole movement and combat system - you were one a 2D plane and could only move with jetplane controls - up, down, forward and rotate. Combat was very clunky; you couldn't do any Summons(they'd drown underwater ;P) and you were forced to resort to burning magic to do any damage unless you enjoyed swimming about and flailing with your Keyblade!
I admit that was a poor way to do underwater controls...but to paraphrase Saix: Do you hate it? Well...
Direct your hatred towards KH2 Agrabah's ruins! Yep, they didn't learn their lessons and used the EXACT SAME CONTROLS in the second part of Agrabah in KH2!!!
True, you could use Limit Form and all that, but other than that it's the same situation.
I think the reason that Nomura decided to make Atlantica a non-combat world like 100-Acre Wood was because it would be a hassle to translate the battle system to that world and he had a story going already(although he never explained how Ursula came back to life; did Maleficent revive her like she did Oogie?) and Drive Forms would be a problem to deal with underwater.
It's true that The Little Mermaid lost out on a lot(from this fan art we could have seen what would have been if Ariel had been a Princess of Heart - I didn't realize there were a lot more characters in the movie that just the original ones) and with KH3 focusing on modern CGI movies now(the worlds revealed are from CGI-animated movies, Tangled and Big Hero 6) so the chances of having classic Disney are slim(though I wouldn't put it past them to render a few), but enough with the hate.
You can ban me if you want, I don't care. It will prove that I am the only living human being who enjoyed being in Ariel's underwater world in Kingdom Hearts... even if farming for those damn Frost Gems was so annoying! :p
Why Does Everyone Hate Atlantica?!?

| Ariel is about to commit suicide because she wasn't a popular Disney Princess in the Kingdom Hearts games. |

It was ALMOST a platinum...
I was digging around in my old accounts and remembered I had this. Yep, my very first trophy account (which uses my actual e-mail - my current trophy account uses another mail server) had me ALMOST get the platinum on this bad boy... the only trophy I missed was the one where you have to get every Gummi Blueprint, which means you have to do all the bad-ass Gummi Missions.
This inspires me to platinum all of the Kingdom Hearts games. Others have done it, why not me?

Dropping Dreams (KH2.8 Hype)
So I infected the ears of my parents with a little reminder that KH2.8 is coming out around Christmas and they MIGHT preorder it. 6_^
Anyways, what are your thoughts about this compilation. Me, I am glad to see Dream Drop Distance get remade into HD. I know it'll take a lot of fancy footwork to make it work on the PS4 when half of the stuff utilized the 3DS touch screen, but it's all good. Hopefully blahblahLPs will get started on uploading his re:coded Let's Play since the date is now announced. ;)
RECENT EDIT: One, it's confirmed that 2.8 will be coming early December so I might get it for my birthday instead! (I actually learned that a New Zealand dealer had it set for my exact birth day, December 6! ^_^) Two, blahblah isn't confirming a LP of re:coded but is doing a Road to Kingdom Hearts 3 live stream series on his "Runaway Guys" group channel, Goof Group, where he plays through all the KH games on live stream once a week so chances are the LP will be a live stream of the game instead.
