Kingdom Hearts


Yesterday I came across a great recipe idea. Take a few final fantasy parts and throw them into a big blender, to give you a few Disney films and throws finally a few pages of story into it. Kingdom Hearts comes out.
Something like that was the idea must be born of a collaboration between Disney and Squaresoft, and in 2002 for the Playstation 2 in the form of the game "Kingdom Hearts" is manifested. Whether this recipe idea is not only unusual, but delicious, we check at once.

The protagonist Sora

The Story
your take on the role of the boy Sora, who lives with his friends Kairi and Riku the elderly on a small island. The three friends believe firmly that may be their world is not the only one and dream of one day to visit other worlds. One night, attacked the island of shadow creatures and destroyed, it will bring to separate from your friends in a strange city again, and since holding a keyblade. After a short time you hit the mage Donald Duck and Goofy the Knight, who are in search of her missing King Mickey Mouse. The last command should they received from The same has been to the bearer of the Keyblade to protect them. Thus, it makes you together in search of Sora's friends and the King. It flies its agent rubber-Jet from world to world, and sealed it before dark to keep them from total annihilation. In the search for the source of the dark invaders, the so-called heartless, you learn more about the background and the true mastermind behind the great disaster. To be banished at the end together.

Gameplay - Final Fantasy X Disney
The gameplay is strongly reminiscent of Final Fantasy with a slight influence on Disney.
you control Sora through the various 3D worlds via analog stick. Here you will encounter again and again to defeat the Heartless applies, there is also already the first difference to final fantasy series on the struggles will be played turn-based but not directly in the game world. As a remedy for evil to you is your keyblade, numerous spells, incantations, and of course your friends to the site.

the beginning of the game, you have to choose whether their change rather passively, aggressively or want to work with magic, accordingly, your stat points easily.
Enter the battle in a group of three, usually you have Donald and Goofy on your side, but you can usually a resident in each world character to take, such as Tarzan and Ariel.

Anyone spell closer look immediately notice the similarities to Final Fantasy, this one knows all of fire, water, lightning and ice to Gravitas and Aero are all represented. They can lie down for the battle on three shortcuts to select them in the battle quickly. The "spells" that we know from final fantasy are included, but are called "reputation" and call as the name implies, bring an ally. This can, for example, Simba from The Lion King. To further support
there are plenty of items that the inclined final fantasy players might well be familiar.

Summon Simba

a Heartless is defeated, he can usually fall green life spheres, which regenerate HP, yellow money balls fall increase your wealth, leaving a few experience points you can gain levels. After a successful Level Up is either more life, more mana or more attack power. In addition, you learn new skills now and then you can equip for AP points, including blocking, analysis, etc.

run The fighting, after a short adjustment period, liquid from the foot and great fun.

Beautiful: In each world you will meet on new enemies, the setting is adjusted and other skills and have attacks. Thus there are in the jungle of apes and Tarzan heartless in Atlantica fish and jellyfish defeat. This provides a lot of variety and makes the battles much more exciting.

Every now and then adapts to the way of your movement in the current world, so it floats around in Atlantica as a merman or flies in Petar Pan's Never Land through the air.
All in all, the control is very successful and is loose from the paw. The only drawback is the targeting of opponents, which is sometimes very tricky, as the complicated selection of items in combat.

As Merman in Atlantica

from world to world - Familiar faces
Your primary responsibility is the key slots of the different worlds to find and seal. Here, visited her many scenarios familiar from Disney films, but also creations made by Squaresoft. Here you meet all sorts of course, familiar faces from the various films was a usually a little back to the "carefree" childhood, because who among us has not seen the movies then. In addition to the Disney characters you meet also known to many faces from Final Fantasy, including Cloud and Sephiroth.
On your travels you visit include Atlantica from Ariel, in the jungle from Tarzan, the Never Land of Peter Pan, Agrabah Aladdin and many more. In each of the worlds you are experiencing a mini story that eventually leads you to the key hole in the world. Here waits Squaresoft typical, at each end of a boss to you, obvious is not it: These three
These are usually the bad guy from the movie in the current world and who would not previously Ursula from Ariel or Jafar from Aladdin on the nose . give
being rewarded new weapons, a new more powerful keyblade, magic and more coordinates to new worlds. This motivates and by the many different settings and voltage is all about variety.

In Halloween Town

sound and synchronization
If you stop by the intro of the game, which I think fits really not a bit after the game, viewed from the musical side, Squaresoft has done a very good job. The music of the different worlds is usually directly from the Disney movie and fits like chalk and cheese. It was very well integrated into the game and highlights the excellent atmosphere of the different settings. What all the conditions for a while may also interfere, so düdelt such as Atlantica permanently Ariel typical music and can pull in two to three hours, then quite nicely on the nerves. More music and sound effects match by Squaresoft known and familiar quality.

The game was beyond even translated into German and German speakers are the same and most of the time lent their voices to the roles in the Disney films, with a few exceptions. The speakers are all very well and give much trouble, can can see, hear or so. give only drawback, a few of the sayings of the Goofy and Donald in the fight on its own have not been translated into German, which does not really bother, however, is angry because the three sets could also have been able to translate them.

The Hundred Acre Wood

The graphics - Final Fantasy is in colored
The graphics can be seen for quite Playstation 2. The worlds are very diverse and detailed design. The effects of magic fit and are very similar to the final fantasy model. The characters are lovingly modeled and animated the faces beautiful. Rather can not say about the graphics. However, today in 2010 still quite respectable. It is reminiscent in many respects to final fantasy, just a tick more colorful.

The cutscenes are mostly very nice rendering sequences are therefore also in the usual Squaresoft quality. But the sequences in game graphics are quite well done and animated.
only drawback, in the transfer of the game in the European area has anyone built crap, we will be punished with ugly little thin black bars top and bottom of the screen.

The Gummiversum?
So I called the universe between the planets. For travel between the worlds their disputes with your own spaceship, which is made of rubber blocks. Yes you heard right, a spaceship made of rubber.
it is felt that this shipyard in the rubber to your heart's desire to upgrade rebuilt with new rubber bricks, or even design a new rubber ship. It turns out However, very tricky, because the editor is very user unfriendly. New rubber bricks you collect either in boxes that you find on your way around the world or in the kids' game that must be completed between the worlds. It travels from one world to another so begins a little mini-game which is somewhat reminiscent of Space Invaders. You fly with your rubber boat and you need your way through asteroids rubber sheets and rubber or other rubber boats to shoot. These can occasionally fall back rubber stones that you can collect. The whole thing is pretty meaningless, however, as you can each track in the game with your standard contest ship. Well, and why the universe must consist of rubber I have not really understood. There is always something to smile when Sora a "protective rubber" refers.

The Gummiversum in all its glory

Side Quests
Also next to the main story that you rushing through the worlds, there is some work to do. In the course of the play will get her so-called "Trio Techs," these are the only actions to Sora, Goofy and Donald can run together. Signals are places where this technology is possible through a colorful icon. This will enable you to reach new places, or to grab boxes and rewards.
are also all 99 Dalmatian puppies from "101 Dalmatians" disappeared, and your job is to look at the various worlds and bring back to their parents. As a thank you reward the lucky dog parents repeatedly with items, spells, and concludes with a collection of rubber blocks.
If that was not enough to work, has demonstrated the possibility of its strength at any time at various tournaments in the arena of Olympus. Here many powerful enemies waiting for you including Cloud, Hades personally and Sephiroth. There

Another "optional" thing is now, in the course of the game, you can always find more lost pages bought a book from the Merlin from a dealer. If you bring the sides back you are allowed in the "100 Acre Wood" and meet there many mini-games with Pooh and his friends. Unfortunately, this is the one really sloppily staged, often the stories and reasons why there is now to do something very senseless and overall, this part of the game just terribly bad. Who can do without the Secret Ending may safely skip this place. Otherwise, here, "Eyes Wide Shut".
fight in Agrabahr

Difficulty - Leveling, leveling, leveling?
not precisely this. I personally can defeat no great friend of never-ending level passages just so my main character to the next boss, to then enter the next level passage. This, fortunately, in Kingdom Hearts, at least on normal difficulty, not necessary. Those who bravely defeated all opponents stand in his way and not simply turn over runs, has at least until the end no problems and have in fact not at all levels. Towards the end draws the game again but it remains powerful in some levels is not, but apart from that is the difficulty for a Squaresoft game very moderate. But take Imagine Ursula care, the woman is evil!
One of the bosses

Conclusion:
Who likes a good story, if you like Final Fantasy, who is a Disney is a fan and he likes even a Rollenspielchen play counts This title is not over. All others on the cases some of the points must definitely take a look. The game is varied, the battles are exciting and fun make to the end. The graphics are impressive and catches the Disney universe very well. I would recommend it most warmly. For the ultimate Disney opponents However, this title is nothing.

Kingdom Hearts gets to me 4 out of 5 fox paws


Good 2 know:
- Who does not have Playstation 2 but the story still finds interesting can read the whole thing, it is a manga series appeared, everything was handled in the first part of the Kingdom Hearts series happened.
- The game has a Secret Ending of need to unlock it with all Dalmatians bring back the master Hadescup the Olympians and complete the mini games * * trembling in the Hundred Acre Wood.

From Shinjuku to Hida Takayama

The bus from Shinjuku (新宿) to Takayama (飞 騨 高山) departs at 7:00 am going in Shinjuku. This may be early, but that the journey will also 5h30m.

Since the goal as possible early release. However, I guess first, how long it takes from the front door to the subway platform, and that the way that you can cover IM Shinjuku station, may well take even half an hour, not everything is all spots of this giant mesh tunnel and escalators are signposted from. It then degenerates
it out into a hustle, how to find out West, but if New South, south, east and north is marked, but not West? Clear on the main line somehow. And then at 6:30 in the morning for some programs, which includes virtually the station but not to the many department stores still zugegittert. And everything looks different when the stores inputs barred are, one can not assess whether one runs into a dead end or if after the next tunnel corner but the desired main course turns up, if you suddenly faced a grated or is you is somehow running in circles. Oriented to the pedestrian flows is also not Schiet son.

am Well, yes at last but still there on time and have even more time in Konbini to buy what for breakfast, not to sweep without the baggage npaar things off the shelf. Since I have the bus fare card across the mouth (when I actually got used to me?), I just mumble something about it that I had not understood it himself. Bus leaves at 7:00
time clock, the announcements by the band come in Japanese, English and Chinese. Additional by the driver then only in Japanese. From Shinjuku to go directly to the highway, think it's the same one we took last year from Karuizawa. If you have left the first Moloch Tokyo (/ Saitama), it quickly mountainous on the horizon and then Rech and left the roadway. However
also cloudy. I am so surprised quite well then, not the weather forecast was not always so hot.
In between changes of the sky several times the form and consistency, he keeps the whole exciting, this rascal.

got on the bus ride I ample opportunity to try out the polarizing filter, reflections in the window to turn away from the paintings, works surprisingly well.
After 2h30m then the first break with 20 minutes Auffenthalt. added at the motorway service area (somewhere in Nagano) hats of course the usual tourist souvenir stalls (every town in Japan so own Vegetables and bread types in colorful packaging and at least one personal ramen dish!), But here also feature a Starbucks, which I think is great, a hot breakfast of coffee I dont no. In the bus I'm bi shierhin gekuckt the second episode of "An Idiot Abroad" with the great Karl Pilkington, but that only the edge ...


further by continuing the trip is only briefly on the highway, then goes down and down Matsumoto (there is a sign Castle Matsumoto 3km) walk over the road through apple orchards area.
go through these eternity appley version of the hinterland, then go to the mountains, through the mountains (which will here Tunnels have is to not take) and serpentine. The view is really great, since the Japan trip pages are right, which entitle the journey with "absolutely the day."

see in fine weather all better off, but I do not want Mosern here (Mosern more here)

One last stop after 4 h at Gero Onsen before the last leg of the journey begins. And what would an onsen town or the motorway service area without an onsen pool with hot water.

Here then also have time for a Nikuman:

's finally here: Hida Takayama station.


PS: Here are the buses, the trains more punctual than ours! Oh what I say, the strike at you anyway now.

Melina Velba New Stuff

ArcaniA - Gothic 4


In 2001 began the Essen-based development studio Piranha Bytes "something big, maybe too much. The first part of the Gothic series appeared and was, above all among RPG fans, a great success. The game could the player to move because of its excellent atmosphere in the middle of the game. Shortly thereafter, in 2002, followed even Gothic II, which was also a great success. The third part of the series, however, exactly this very darkened. Disputes between the development studio Piranha Bytes "and the Publisher "JoWooD," which ended in a dispute, made sure that the original developers lost the rights to their work and these were given to the publisher. This meant that Piranha Bytes is now devoted to a new series called "Risen" and the fourth part of the Gothic series, the first time entirely by JoWooD alone, developed in collaboration with Spellbound Entertainment was. This of course stirred up fears among the Gothic-knit community, which feared, especially after the complete Bugverseuchten Gothic 3, the worst. How much gothic infected because now Arcania in this we will focus in greater detail.

way with the old, with her the new
hard to believe but true, the fourth installment of the series thanks the old nameless hero and differs from a dynamic goat herders, who comes from a small sleepy island. The name of the new routes continues to be a tradition in this part in secret. However, our hero gets is already so cherished in the first three parts of a not very significant role, this is in fact now the king Rhobar III currently resides in Agaarn. It is the easternmost island of the Kingdom of the Myrtana you will spend most of the play. The king has managed to unite the entire continent to themselves and would now like the rest of the kingdom in his empire record, down here there is also the island Feshyr on your adventure begins.

your hometown

The new hero wants to marry his friend Ivy gets from her father and several tasks to prove herself worthy to her. The game uses this very simple tasks to teach players the basic control. Is this "First Quest" were the main plot begins and this opens up also the main motivator of the hero who leads him through the adventure, the urge for revenge. Nothing really new, but at least it works.

The history of the game remains rather confused and bewildered more than she says. Apart from the motive of revenge, the player hardly understand what he is doing here at all, and above all why he does this. It will be open continuously to new side stories, the part simply does not close again, and part to do anything with the main story have. A big drawback compared to the previous parts is mainly the density and the depth of history, Arcania does not manage to captivate a moment or really surprised at all.

entrance to cave Diego

gameplay of the Lego box
A few seconds into the game, lets hope one of the first quest was nothing on the rest of his collected works. The game leads with a dream sequence of a new hero in which you take the role of the king and beats you through a dungeon full of skeletons. This is very reminiscent of Diablo in 3D, but with less story. After you wake up are the tutorial island starts in which, as already mentioned the story to the hero and his girlfriend Ivy is told. This was then, however, to change the moment they enter the main island awaits you just a recurring pattern of sadness. The complete Quest design is assembled like Lego blocks, unfortunately, the developers had only four different Stones. From now on it runs through again and again the following process: first


Hero enters new location and would like to speak with his second goal person
To speak with the target person can be person X and Y are initially impressed that they let you to target individual
third Both people are impressed you are allowed to target, this has a concern to you before you ask your question
Dared 4th You have met the concern is your question, get access to a new area

usually lead you to quests in a dungeon with skeletons or a cave full of goblins. All in all, very boring and very monotonous. Although this was in the previous parts of the series little different, but this one caught the player through many RPG elements, a tight gripping story and a free-roaming world.

One of the many dungeons

Less is more?
currently still on everyone's lips, the world economy Kriese, details of which seems to have struck hard at JoWooD also because it was missing at all and ends and corners of capital. Under the motto "less is more" the good old Gothic philosophy was purified and easily adapted to a new target group. So what has changed?

has always been very liked the opportunity to decide during the game for a Group, this falls away in Arcania, there are still groups, but only this one visits here. Where it then climb to a level still called "From the next coach and will be stronger," you can always do this now after the climb by pressing the button K on the keyboard. Trainers are therefore also become redundant. Where we are already at levels, as well, has fundamentally changed. The player must not, as earlier strength, dexterity, etc. individually by coach Skillen. Now you get after each level rise of three points you want to be distributed at will. This affect the selection, however, very thin, only melee, ranged, vitality, and the three magic can be improved in this way. Scope for a varied character design is so obviously not met. As mentioned above, the number of spells was reduced drastically. Where time there was all sorts of different spells including the transformation into a wolf, for example, there are now only fire, lightning and ice.

The nue crafting and skill system


The game world is also shrunk, from here you the error was committed in Gothic 3 learned. However, with the world, the open world feel is on a "barely noticeable to end minimum shrunk. Where previously could explore almost from the beginning, the entire game world and explore each of these trips made with a new cave and a valuable treasure paid ArcaniA waves in a although very beautiful but also very meaningless world. The player is indeed an open world fooled but once you open the world map after a bit of my playing time behind him you can see the hose qualities areas. Trips to the countryside is also worth not more, for one thing, there just from the Green to nothing more and that what remained remains is, is unfortunately almost dead. The genome of caves and all corners of the world game is no longer rewarded, thus creating no incentive to roam this yet. The result is a stump back and forth, running around between the objectives of the contract.

The game world

How does this look because with the craft? Here, too, JoWooD has cut drastically. Those who have previously learned the blacksmithing at the blacksmith, the crude steel, bought it and forged on the anvil with fervor in the right shape kloppte, the red-hot iron was then hissing into the water bucket and in this As forged his own sword, the press must now only the C key and may at any time, even during a struggle to forge weapons as you like, provided it the necessary materials and to have the recipe. Behaves analogously to the alchemy. It is precisely among these role-playing elements, such as interacting with have almost any object to the things that made the Gothic series so unique. Have they now completely removed, one has indeed possible in the options selbige re-activate, but it has no effect on the game when the hero now can return it to a bed or reading a book, not the time goes quicker, yet he learns new skills. This is a huge step backwards for the series and a tragedy at that. Thus, the dynamic change of a day, which is sure to look very pretty, no effect on the "routine" of the population. presented in the previous parts of the Gothic in his bed at night after work, or twisted into the pub. In contrast, there are those ArcaniA daily routines and not a carpenter, it really bothers little whether it is dark or light, he hammers easy 24 / 7 of his closet.

fighting a demon

come in ... sit down ... you take all of my property!
This is the motto of the population of Agaarn. Where the owner of a hut nor a previously desolate abused and beat her if necessary from his cabin, followed the communist ArcaniA generation a clear view. "What is my yours" is the guiding principle. So you can browse all the peace in every home and wegstibitzen their chests and the inhabitants belongings right in front of the nose. The lockpicking has also been drastically simplified, so it now requires no special skills, but needs to solve only a stupid mini-game. The graphics can

As regards the technique ArcaniA really worth watching -

The island simulator. The world looks very realistic and is compared to its predecessor, again much smaller and more manageable. Since it is the game world by two islands are thronged with beautiful palm trees, sandy beaches and rocky cliffs of which, with a loud roar, a waterfall plunges into the depths. But except island Feeling ArcaniA has more to offer than there would be a great swamp, a dense jungles and even icy mountain peaks.

icy peaks


The sun casts beautiful shadows when it comes out behind the leaves of a tree or on objects breaks. The world contains a dynamic day-night cycle and, consequently, dynamic shadows. However, the shadow only every second to be recalculated, so they huckeln through the landscape, this should really be fixed until the release, but is unfortunately still present and spoils the realism considerably.

Here you see the light effect of the sun

are also nice to see the weather effects. Of thick fog, a strong storm, to a violent storm is taken care of. In particular, the rain looks very nice, as soon as it rains a "water texture effect" on all objects that are affected by the rain is laid, which makes them seem very credible. After a heavy rain, the earth will effectively dry. The only thing this charming drama into something ridiculous drawn is the fact that the rain texture is put on the cave walls of a temple or dungeon. So it happens that one is deep in a cave and the walls suddenly start to "bleed".

Here you see the rain effect

general seems to be the game developers a forgetful beings. Since there are graphical effects that are completely logical, technically easily implemented and since Gothic 1, which here in ArcaniA shine with their absence. Notably the fact that the hero goes through water, ensuring no noise, still causing waves or otherwise in the water. What is the overall picture is also somewhat clouded by continuing changes in the weather, it may well be that the rain by this great texture even looks really beautiful, but so it does not rain every 5 minutes. In ArcaniA the weather changes so often it's ridiculous. Apart from these few points, however, it looks beautiful and comes from a benchmark rather than a game the same. The price of hardware is hungry for it but also enormous.

What also still very disturbing is the lack of NPCs. If you thought "The Witcher" in the original version of little character models would be wrong. ArcaniA manages to poorer this gestallten. Apart from the important Hauptcharaktären there are only three male Charaktäre felt that you meet really permanent and are wrapped only in different clothes.

brings the Tree of the magician in the bottom

TomTom already integrated
ArcaniA all sorts of "comfort" features are released, which can be added gradually turn the player. There is therefore now either a minimap with associated Quest and Quest Info Display. Acids to Lootbare opponents, as well as objects in houses and dungeons. If you can activate all of these tools is basically ignored any more. But even without all these aids can thanks ArcaniA some optical aid center to ensure that one plant, etc. find them. Those who think that you get back a little more old gothic feel without all this nonsense, you are wrong. The only thing that is eternal search for results from Quest NPCs somewhere in the dense thicket of the jungle are.


localization and sound
The localization of the game is successful. The voice actors are a lot of love and total commitment here, so the game can also easily be played in German, above all, it is nice that even Diego, Lester and his associates have again their old Syncro. In addition, although boring, Quest told mostly through funny dialogue, that comforts a little.
The sound effects and music are all great and provide the right background for the world and the struggles. The only thing that is immediately noticeable negative effect of the storm. Once it's in times Agaarn storms, then shake the trees and leaves and the whole looks very credible, but lack the right tone about what caused the player a very strange feeling. I hope this sound will last for per patch.

Conclusion: All in all
Arcania is - Gothic 4 consistently average, neither the story nor the quest design, nor the level and character system are outstanding. This is clearly seen to whom is the game now and those are the casual gamers. The story captures the player is not for a moment and he does not draw with the world of Agaarn inside. It is all playing very easy, very straight and very abwechslungslos. With a Gothic the game definitely has nothing in common, aside from the characters from the series. Those who have nothing better to do on pretty graphics and the money is added to the game can look at times. Each Rollenspielfan and should especially every fan of the Gothic series a steer clear of this title make. It has basically missed anything if you have not played it. The game is more a sense of work as fun and that should do well not really a game.
