I want to be spoiled! This thread contains spoilers! →[More:]So I got Kingdom Hearts II today, because all my favorite gamers say it's way improved over the first game, which I played and then dropped in disgust because of various issues with it. No camera control, lots of backtracking, etc. While I LURVE both Disney and Square, the issues I had with the game made it unplayable for me. (even more inside!)

I've played KHII for about an hour now, and am loving it. It seems a lot of issues I had with the first game have been resolved.

However, I have NO clue what happened in the first game to Sora and his buddies, nor do I have a Game Boy Advance to know what happened in Chain of Memories.

So ... SPOIL ME! Anyone out there willing to give me a brief synopsis of the game before I get into KHII much further will have my slavish devotion!

And if you have any other spoilers for anything else, feel free to do so, thusly:

DARTH VADER IS LUKE'S FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATHER!

See? Simple! SPOIL IT ALL!

willing to give me a brief synopsis of the first game and it's GBA follow-up

That's what I meant to say.

Also? Verbal Kint is Keyser Soze!

Darth Vader is Bruce Willis' ghost father who is a man and they actually live in the present day not the 18th century and they are allergic to water and Samuel Jackson is behind it all. Oh, and Sue Ellen shot J.R.

They go to an exhibit and he sees a portrait that looks almost exactly like his father but definitely isn't. The whole reason for breaking his engagement, indirectly causing his mother's death and fleeing to the city is thrown into horrible doubt. A few chapters later, everybody dies.

Hidden in the letters is the message "DEAR ZAMPANO WHO DID YOU LOSE", which seems to indicate that everything except the Navidson record is a total fabrication on Johhny's part. Either that or his mom knew Zampano, which is a whole 'nother can of worms.

Edward Norton is Tyler Durden.

And for real - tonight I really did make my wife sit down with me and watch "Fight Club" because I was tired of not being able to tell her that I sometimes wonder if Donnie (my badass, tattooed friend) is my Tyler Durden.

She says no, she knew him before she even met me. He's real.

ooga, you've got the ending to brazil wrong. It's Sam Lowry who's gone mad. Tuttle was Robert DeNiro's character, and he's just fine if an outlaw.

Harrison Ford is really an android, too, possibly. Allegedly. It's up for debate. But man is Edward James Olmos creepy at the end.

posted by shmegegge 30 March | 01:06

no! deckard must not be a replica. It changes the whole story, you see? *pouts*

posted by carmina 30 March | 01:19

ah, but you've forgotten the red glowy eyes from the director's cut!

posted by shmegegge 30 March | 10:27

So, in the end, is he a replicant or not? It all depends on how one interprets the clues and perhaps even one's perception of the answer before one chooses the interpretations of clues and lines

Nice read to start my day, thank you. The second part of the quote does it for me: I do not want him to be android. If Deckard is a replicant we are losing the whole "transcending the boundaries of human nature" idea and it is less romantic (he saves her because she is his keen) you see? I think Scott himself did not really want to make him a replicant and this is why he does not explicitly says so. But he adds the innuendo for flavoring. thank you thank you!
