Kingdom Hearts Primer – Birth By Sleep – Episodes 7 – Cartoon Characters Don’t Pay Taxes

This was probably one of our best episodes.

It’s been a long time since I made this commentary. As a result, while I still largely agree with many of the things I said in this series, some of my opinions have changed. The point I was trying to make at the start of this episode regarding player agency and how that sets up expectations doesn’t resonate as strongly to me now as it did back then. I’ve seen a lot of games that put the player in positions where they can’t make good choices, like Night in the Woods, and they’ve turned my opinion around. It’s not a crime to rob a player of agency, so long as something compelling comes from it.

The other hard part about writing these posts well after the series was recorded is that sometimes I just don’t have any meaningful commentary to add. In those cases, I artificially inflate the length of my post by making meta-commentaries on the meta-commentary I made in the episode. Worse, I won’t add anything meaningful to the commentary in doing this. It literally only exists to add words.

That’s a terrible writing style that would only come from a hack. Fortunately, I never claimed to be good at writing.
