Yeah Vinny, taking over cities and territory from your cultural output was in Civ IV which it seems like I will miss in Civ VI (never played V).
I know he's not reading this

I hadn't been following very closely. Hope to see 4K compatibility on the Pro, which is likely what I'll be getting.

I am.

Pro seems like a decent way to go since SE will more than likely support the system with patches going forward. Curious to see how much improvement we'll actually get out of FFXV since the standard version is shaping up well.

KH I.5 is the first game and the supplemental games that apply to the plot, hence the .5.

KH II.5 is the second game and the supplemental games that apply to the plot.

KH III is a new game so it has no .5

KH II.8 is the prologue to KHIII, called KH 0.2, and Dream Drop Distance which is a prologue of sorts so it's not under the II.5 collection. So III - 0.2 = II.8, hence the name of that PS4 release.

If you add up I.5 and II.5 you get KH IV, which is the only thing that bugs me because it all comes before KHIII.

The collection for KH II.8 I like the name of, because 0.2 is both a prologue of the whole series and also a "demo" for how KH III will play.

So it's between II and III on the release schedule, although it's before I, II, or III in the series plot wise but the plot points introduced and the character Aqua play a big role in KH III.

PHEW.

Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth By Sleep -- A Fragmentary Passage is included in Kingdom Hearts HD II.8 Final Chapter Prologue.

Think about the words in that sentence. These are games about Goofy fucking anime girls or whatever.

What about Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
Click to expand...

BBS is the first "prologue" entry, where DDD is right after that and 0.2 after DDD.

358/2 Days is included in I.5 as a video, and it occurs in parallel with Chain of Memories after KH I.

KH I.5 includes I, CoM, and 358/2 Days. KH II.5 includes II and BBS, and a theater mode for viewing KH I's plot points and cutscenes via 3 hours or so of cinematics.

KH II.8 includes DDD, 0.2, and an hour long movie / cutscene that will serve as more prologue and backstory.

So, between the three, all on PS4, you'll get like 95% of all the KH storyline.

I recommend playing them in release order, but for plot / story order you start with BBS, go to DDD / 0.2, then go through I, then CoM & 358/2 Days, then II, then III eventually.

Is it weird that I'm a fan of the KH series but think it's really, really stupid?

That's why I love it. It came out when I was obsessed with Final Fantasy and Disney, and I'm still a huge fan of both.

It's like JoJo's - it's silly and I love it for that.

It reminds me of a simpler time. A cleaner time.

Pink Boo orb steals a star from whoever lands on it.

There have been turns where multiple people have landed on it.

Anyone could've overwritten it by now.

Flutter orbs often go on sale and let you travel to the star instantly.

This map is the "starter" map of MP7, so the star location rotations are easy to recognize and there are many turns where you can pick up multiple stars using flutter and your dice roll or a mushroom.

Dan has also been winning most minigames so he has coins to spare.

But this isn't a game of skill apparently.
