Kingdom Hearts- Melody of Memories coming to switch

As a big fan of rhythm games, and enjoying Square’s previous rhythm games (well, mostly the two Final Fantasy Theatrhythm games for the 3DS), you can color me intrigued about Melody of Memories.

I’m also a fan of KH since the original game on the PS2 back in 2002. Though I skipped KHIII. Just had a fair amount on my gaming plate, and most of my friends held the game, the game’s story in particular, in very low regard.

Hello Jbourdeau, thank you for your forum. I am a big fan of the Kingdom Hearts series and I am glad that the newest installment is coming to the Nintendo Switch. Unfortunately, I am confused about this story’s identity when it comes to the Kingdom Hearts franchise. I do not know if the rhythm game is suppose to be the gameplay and then the player unlocks cutscenes about the origins of Kairi that connects to Sora’s memories that save him??? I need more information before I consider the purchase.

In terms of the Kingdom Hearts franchise, I feel like Nomura has rushed his story’s development recently. For instance, in Kingdom Hearts 2, I was satisfied with the game’s entire story because there was a first half of the game with Roxas as the tutorial, Sora visiting old friends and new worlds, and then there was a second visit. In Kingdom Hearts 3, the worlds of the game were visited once, the tone pacing of the game changed multiple times, and I just do not like time travel in Kingdom Hearts because it does not make sense from the previous games in the franchise. I hope that in the future that Nomura can just settle down with all the scientific jargon and just tell a simple story about light and darkness, saving the hearts of the world and people from the Heartless and Nobodies, and how the future antagonist of the series is or was better than Master Xehanort. Otherwise, he just going to make the story more confusing. I like Kingdom Hearts 3 but I miss the simplistic approach to story telling that Nomura use to have.

Theatrhythm FF is so good.  That game really made me appreciate the music in that series.
