In KH2, a heartless causes rocks to fall, they hit Goofy on the head. Instead of checking his pulse or anything, they decide Goofy is dead and then Mickey literally says "they'll pay for this" and then you and Mickey going on a heartless killing rampage with several Final Fantasy protagonists (the only time where you fight alongside multiple FF characters in the entire series making it a Crowning Moment of Awesome... in what is supposed to be a sad moment).

It then turns out after you killed a bunch of that Goofy is actually alive. And then you do Kingdom Hearts Dynasty Warriors.

Genuinely though, I can't tell if this scene is supposed to be a parody of "Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies" and death fakeouts or if it's played straight and is just abysmally bad. Is this scene the worst put together death fakeout in video game history? What are the worst death fakeouts in video game history?

The death fakeout in question.

Spoiler

wow

 

[OmahaG8]

I wonder if people are playing 1 and 2 for the first time for the upcoming release of 3 - thought the OP never.

 

[wig]

RIP op.

 

[Rapscallion]

It would have been better if Sora said something along the lines of

"The time for GOOFing around is over!"

 

[Cnoodles]

wow, i never played these but was planning to play them. Thanks for the spoils

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

This is a 0/10 scene and a fake spoiler, I refuse to spoiler tag this. Goofy was obviously never going to die in this game and the game is 11 years old.

wow, i never played these but was planning to play them. Thanks for the spoils

You are mad I spoiled a death fakeout?

 

[Bigboss242]

Thanks for the warning...

 

[Fireblend]

Lucky me I don't plan to play these games ever.

 

[dottme]

I wish it is not a spoil right in the title....

 

[Dark Cloud]

Did you just spoil this?

 

[TitusTroy]

having never played the games, is this for real?...Mickey?...Goofy?...is this a Looney Tunes game?...is Bugs Bunny in it as well?

 

[JehutyRunner]

Thanks for the spoiler, as someone who was planning a binge through 1.5 through to 2.8 later in the year. Appreciated.

Generous.

 

[spazchicken]

Just right there in the title of the thread though...just like that.

[Brian_FETO]

No because those are Disney characters

Yes, it is a Disney game

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

Thanks for the warning...

The game is 12 years old... what is the statute of limitations of spoilers for a game?

 

[cyba89]

Normally I'm not too spoiler-sensitive but can you please not put things like major character deaths (fake or not) right in the thread title?

Good job OP!

(Incoming "But these games are xxx years old! Everyone who cares about spoilers should have played it already!" excuse)

 

[Mr. Smiley]

i cant believe goofys fucking dead

 

[Grim Patron]

I'll have my revenge OP. When you post about a new game you're playing. When you least expect it.

 

[Inviusx]

Watching that reaffirmed my beleif that Kingdom Hearts is utter trash.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

GOOFY DOES NOT DIE IN THE GAME.

Come on.

I thought this was obvious. The game pretends to kill Goofy and it's sooooooo bad.

 

[Neolombax]

Spoilers much?

 

[LewieP]

Bit of a dick move to needlessly put a massive spoiler in the thread title.

 

[Brazil]

Wow, a 10+ years old fake spoiler! What are you, OP, some kind of monster?

Some fine-ass concern trolling going on ITT. Fellas haven't played KH2 yet and come in here pretending to care about that game's plot? Without even reading the OP?

GAF's a mess.

I love that entire sequence, by the way.

 

[Sou Da]

Watching that reaffirmed my beleif that Kingdom Hearts is utter trash.

It gets worse.

 

[dickroach]

The game is 12 years old...

ok, and they re-released it like 3 months ago.

 

[Astarte]

They'll pay for this

 

[BasilZero]

Goofy pulled a Squall.

 

[TwistedSyn]

Wow. Really OP...Really!? I was gonna finally play this game next month and you literally spoiled something that sounds REALLY important.

 

[Mister Wolf]

GOAT spoiler.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

LOL. I just finished One for the first time ever in the HD collection, getting ready to start Two.

Good shit.

 

[kai3345]

wait when did goofy die in kh2?

edit - watched the cutscene in the OP. i apparently don't remember anything about that section of the game lol

 

[NickatNite]

never played the games before, kinda curious now.

 

[Rapscallion]

Joking aside, this section was god damn awesome the first time I played through it. It's a great segment.

 

[MMarston]

In OP's defense

1. The game is 12 years old.

2. It's a Disney game and an incredulously obvious fake out from the get-go.

 

[ShadyK54]

...ya know, I'll most likely forget this spoiler by the time I get around to playing KH 2 in the HD collection, but wow. Could've tagged it or come up with a better thread title for those that are hyper sensitive to spoilers.

 

[Neolombax]

The game is 12 years old... what is the statute of limitations of spoilers for a game?

Don't spoil anything...ever?

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

ok, and they re-released it like 6 months ago.

Games and movies are constantly re released though

 

[LewieP]

GOOFY DOES NOT DIE IN THE GAME.

Come on.

I thought this was obvious. The game pretends to kill Goofy and it's sooooooo bad.

Yes you raise a good point, because every person browsing Neogaf has played the game already.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Spoilers much?

No! There are no spoilers. Did you honestly think that Kingdom Hearts would kill Goofy? He's in the trailer for the new game that was released a week ago!

 

[Cnoodles]

GOOFY DOES NOT DIE IN THE GAME.

Come on.

I thought this was obvious. The game pretends to kill Goofy and it's sooooooo bad.

Keep digging the hole deeper, next time do not put spoils in title

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Goofy does die though

Why else would Disney record this song?

[Ydelnae]

Wow I can't believe you spoiled this significant death just like that in a thread's title, I have no interest reading the rest of the post now.

 

[TheGreatDirector]

You know shit got serious when MIckey took off his cloak.

 

[xiaxdragon]

Brah.....HD collection came out for PS4 like a few months ago and a few people are playing for the first time EVER



way to ruin it in the title

 

[hydrophilic attack]

lol I had forgotten about this scene

amazing thread and reactions

 

[Seijuro]

Tag your spoilers,

Spoiler

even for story beats

OP. And change the goddamn thread title, it just riles people up.

 

[BroBot]

You spoiled the best part which is when the

Spoiler

Final Fantasy characters

help you out...

 

[grandjedi6]

I think the spoiler threshold ends after a decade, guys. Especially for non-spoilers like this.
