I skimmed
but yeah, I know all this already. What we were doing is called speculation, and it's harmless. Sometimes it's nice to let your imagination go instead of adhering to an ultra strict paradigm. For that matter, I know just about everything about the mythos (especially now that I've read the factoids on the Fragments After).
Oh I am all for that. That isn't a problem. But when someone says "I think that Versus takes place after Lightning Returns" I feel obligated to correct something like that. Personally, I hate when people suggest such a thing. I don't want Versus to be anything like XIII in the slightest and thankfully we know they aren't.
Edit:
Heh.
It really is rather interesting looking at the respective styles each of them employ in the games they've made.
Is the only thing Nomura's been working on the past few years all the portable KH games?
