Talk:Kingdom Hearts Union χ

So, about Union X, it seems more like an update and name change to Unchained, so should we merge this with the Unchained page? And for the icons, do we consider it separate games? Should we replace the Unchained icon with the Union icon? TheSilentHero 13:13, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Personally, I think Union X must be considered as it is a Final Mix version of Unchained X. So, different pages, diffents icons. Lady Junky (talk) 13:23, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

It's still strange since these versions aren't separate. I'm really torn here. I think we should keep the original Unchained page, maybe shorten it, but keep the feature list it had back then and link to the new game's version. Everything else (including the icons and templates) should be replaced by the Union version. Even the acronym stayed the same, so it should be easy to do. --ShardofTruth 13:45, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

I agree with Junky. We should keep everything as is. As like she said, this is sort of like a Final Mix. It's specifically being rebranded as a "rejuvenation." While we ALL know it's the same fucking thing - the rebranding is nothing more than yet ANOTHER fucking stalling tactic for KH3 - it'd be confusing otherwise. There's also the fact that every other series or specific game-centric wiki have their own unique pages for differing versions or updates. Like this one. Or this one. This one too! To say nothing of these. This is very much touted as a major content update - an expansion - so, I think it needs to stay as is. --Ignis (talk) 17:08, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

But it's not an expansion or DLC, it's a reworked and rebranded version that replaces the base game completely like Final Fantasy XIV, the FFWiki uses a Legacy page in this case. Maybe that's also something to think about. --ShardofTruth 18:06, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Lol, I got a message on my client telling me that it's a content update. --Ignis (talk) 20:37, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

There is one other thing that I just realized that makes this stand on its own. Yes, it's barely a retooling of Unchained X. But storywise...it IS a sequel. Unchained was literally nothing more than a port of the browser game. Union Cross has story content that clearly goes beyond them, though. Without the rebrand, Unchained X would remain as is with the story going past the original X - which would make IT supersede it. But this is clearly meant to supersede both of them. It's meant to stand as its own thing - outside of X's and Unchained's shadows. It's absolutely no different than, say, the BlazBlue games (other than the fact that this is free). Every single BB game was, let's face it, the same shit every damn time. It was LITERALLY the same game, barring a few new additions and mechanics between releases. It was their crappy stories, though, that billed them as sequels. My prediction? About a year from now, give or take, they'll announce a "third season" of the story. It will get a massive content update. It will get a rebranding, with a new name and an even shitter new logo, and it'll be treated just like this is. .....While we still wait for KH3...... --Ignis (talk) 20:48, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
