The Long Interlude Before and After Intergrade
The inevitable PS5 upgrade has come with some other news.
It was the best of Kingdom Hearts, it was the worst of Kingdom Hearts
Man, for a series that features movies that most of us loved as a child, Kingdom Hearts makes you feel old when you think about how long it took to get us here. But FINALLY, today, we finally get the long-sought-after Kingdom Hearts III. (Well, Japan got it a few days ago.)
Some of you may have picked up your copy, and others may be waiting for their deliveryperson to drop off their copy. Either way, let’s dive into what makes every Kingdom Hearts game awesome and also terrible.
Basically the same rules as my Final Fantasy post. Final Mix versions are listed separately, but the HD collections are skipped since they have fewer tweaks than Final Mix games. Spoilers ahoy!
Can you separate the art from the artist?
Like many of you, I awoke this morning to some shocking news: the creator of Rurouni Kenshin has been arrested for child porn. In addition, he reportedly admitted to liking girls from late elementary to mid middle school.

And now, a brief comic break.
Living Nervously
So, anybody remember this announcement?
“Hooray!” the anime community cheered. “A major title that didn’t even use the characters’ real names is being rescued! I can retire my old Americanized, error-filled Tokyopop versions!”

It was the best of Final Fantasy, it was the worst of Final Fantasy
So, evidently there’s some game called Final Fantasy XV. I heard it comes out today. Never heard of it either. It don’t know anything about the two copies expected to be delivered to me today along with a third I thought was cancelled. ♪～(￣ε￣；)
But one of the most common questions any Final Fantasy player is asked is, “What is the best Final Fantasy?”
It’s a trap! There is no best Final Fantasy!
So here are some of the highlights and lowlights of each game. What I list may not the absolute best or worst parts of the game, but it should give you an idea of why no game definitely ranks at the top or bottom. That, and otherwise all the answers would probably be “story”, “music”, or “battle system”.
I was only going through the main games plus a few of the major sequels/spin-offs, but I updated this post with a good portion of the Final Fantasy series. Spoilers ahoy!

Spoilers for the original anime, Crystal, and manga are below. However, most information is pretty much common knowledge by now. More importantly, long post ahead!
