I don’t know if this is the correct place to ask, but might as well.
So yeah, I’m in a japanese server (one of the ones in Gaia) and would like to find a party/a free company. So far in missions I’ve been using the google translate app to find out what other people have been saying, but it is kinda slow and not always accurate.
Why am I in a japanese server? Well, because this idiot didn’t know that the home world transfer service didn’t apply to regional change... And I don’t want to start all over again.
But yeah, that’s the gist of it.
Oh, and if anyone wants to know, I’m a level 62 White Mage (atm).
So hit me up if you need a healer in your party or if you know where to find one. And if you do, I’d be really grateful!
It’s just my keykid oc but it’s something. Had this lying around unfinished for like 4 months. But at least I managed to finish something, finally. Got a new (currently unnamed) keyblade for her too.
It does kinda implicate that she’s dead though. Maybe she is. Who knows.
The Final World.
A comic idea that I never managed to draw. Has some kh3 spoilers.
Setting: after Aqua is rescued from the realm of darkness and Ven is back. But there is still a small time of “peace” before the fated day. And Aqua has something to say.
Yen Sid: So now that the seven guardians of light have gathered, it is time to rest before the upcoming battle. Such is your duty as wielders of the keyblade.
Aqua: Master, please, may I say something?
Yen Sid: Of course, Master Aqua.
Aqua: *turning to face the other wielders* There is something that I want you to see. Could you come with me?
*they all follow her through a portal*
*they find themselves in an area covered by dustclouds, preventing them from seeing anything.*
Sora: What is this place?
Aqua: A place of dark memories.
Ven: Aqua, is this...?
Aqua: Yes... I need you all to know... what being a wielder of the keyblade means.
*dust clears out, revealing the crossing in the keyblade graveyard.*
Everyone: *gasps* What, what is this place? Where are we?
Aqua: This... is called the keyblade graveyard. Long ago, countless wielders of the keyblade clashed in a war over the light. This is all that is left of them. Lifeless keys in a desert.
*she pauses*
Aqua: I need you to know, that this is what could become of you. This is one way this all could end. This is what it means to be a keyblade wielder. Ven and I... we didn't know what it truly meant before it was too late. We weren't given that choice. Even after I became a master, I wasn't told what the outcome could be.
*she turns to the other wielders*
Aqua: I want to give you that choice. A chance for you to decide for yourself. There is still time to walk away. The keyblade was forced upon you by fate. Knowing what it means to be a keyblade wielder, how it could end, are you still willing to bear that burden?
After/during playing kh3 I did have some kh dreams because of it. I don’t usually remember most of my dreams but I definetly remember the dream where I was making a powerpoint presentation explaining all of Kingdom Hearts. Needless to say, it was a long one.
Tbh if anyone did ask me to explain something from kh I could probably do it. Within the limits of information we have from the existing games of course. I’m not MoM.
My thoughts on Kingdom Hearts 3 that nobody probably cares about.
Because I wanted to. And I was kinda tired of seeing reviews online that were giving it crap just for the sake of giving it crap. (Of course not every review.) And I wanted to look at it with a more positive note. I did mean to do this a while back but I kinda... forgot? I did beat the game during the first three days of it’s release.
Tldr version: Is it a perfect game? No, it does have it’s flaws. Did I still enjoy myself playing it? Heck yes.
The rest is under the cut for spoilers. I’ll try to be brief on every subject so this wouldn’t be super long.
So I am a big kh fan, as you might guess. I grew up with it and because of the game series I’ve had the chance to meet people who have become very important to me. So this game, it does mean a lot to me.
First of all: Game mechanics.
I really liked the combat system. It felt really natural and had a good flow in general. I loved the keyblade transformations. The attractions were really pretty, although I didn’t use them often. But I admit there were some that I really hated. The water one and the blaster one. But as soon as I realised that I could skip them out of the way of a keyblade transformation they were all good with me. I mainly just used them on enemies that were really annoying to me. *cough Gigas cough.* I did enjoy most of the minigames as well, even if the some of the flans were the bane of my existance.
The difficulty of the game was a bit odd. It was.. rather easy. Granted, I did play it on standard mode because a: I wanted to have a more relaxing experience for the first go and b: to get through the game as quick as possible to avoid spoilers. But now that critical mode is here, oh boy. On standard I never saw the death screen. But on critical, I saw it three times during the first 5 minutes.
2. The worlds
The worlds were absolutely beautiful. If I would have to say what my favourite one was and which was my least favourite, favourite would be Corona. It was just so beautiful and while it did follow the movie, it was still very sweet to see them interact with one another. Least favourite was probably Monsters INC. It’s just my personal preference, but I wasn’t that fond of the whole world just being one big factory. (That I may have gotten lost in multiple times.) But, what saved that world was Vanitas getting owned by Sulley and Mike. And the fact that it was set after the movie.
For the plots of the other worlds, BH6 sorta happened really fast for me. Though I did love how Sora interacted with the group and how the got inspiration from him to become stronger. Caribbean plot just sorta... happened while I wasn’t there? But it made up for it by the setting and Jack defeating Luxord with a breath. And seeing Sora starting to beat up Davy Jones when Will was dying broke my heart. Olympos was really sweet for me to see the interactions between Hercules and the gang. I just loved their friendship. Even if the glorious Phil never got to say a word. Toy Box was good, even if I hated Gigas. But the pain from them was mended by Woody basically saying what sounded like “Well I guess you were never loved as a child!” to Xehanort. Arendelle was plotwise a bit... meh. I didn’t dislike it but... I just climbed up the same mountain like three times. There’s not much to say about Twilight Town other than the fact that it was really pretty and I loved that it was so full of life. I Although I do hope that it would have been bigger. I was a bit sad that Radiant Garden wasn’t a world that we could visit.
Keyblade Graveyard doesn’t really count as a world as much, it’s just more of a battlegorund. Bonus favourite world: Scala Ad Caelum. I loved the look of that place so much, and the music was breathtaking. I just wish that they will do more with it in the future. Like a multiplayer dlc where you get to do missions in the whole city. Please Nomura. Please. Another bonus favourite world: The Final World. I loved the whole aesthetic of it, being absolutely beautiful. Plotwise I was at first a bit confused about the whole thing that happened there but I think I do now understand what was going on. (And the whole scenario that happened aroud it. And the whole going back in time.) I loved the individual stories they had given to each star. Plus the Lich was an interesting concept.
3. The Plot
So. The plot. I would be lying if I said I had no problems with it. It did make me cry out of happiness a lot of times and I generally loved it. But there were some problems. I suppose it would be the best to say perhaps the biggest annoyance I had with it.
Kairi. Not Kairi the character herself, but more of what happened to her. It did annoy me a lot more before, but as time has passed I have accepted it more. I was dissapointed at how she basically became a plot conveniance for Sora to do certain things. Now that I think about it I am more okay with it. Kairi was never really a fighter. Her strenght comes more about guiding people into the light as she did in kh1 with heartless Sora, in kh2 her meeting with Roxas (although debatable in that one) and now in kh3 she was the one who kept Sora from fully fading away. Even with all that, I don’t think it’s wrong of me to say that I wished for more. I hope that in the future they would be able to use her more than just as a plot device.
The other thing that annoyed me in the plot was the points which were clearly there just to set up the next game. But I think I can forgive those as long as kh4 doesn’t take as long to make as kh3 did. There were some points that just opened up more questions than answers but I’d still say I do have a pretty good understanding of the whole KH plot.
The thing that I didn’t expect to happen was for me to like the villains as much as I did. For example, I never really thought much about Luxord before, but he really grew on me on this game. The same goes for the rest of the organisation as well. Those who I didn’t care for before or didn’t like that much, their final moments or their atonement really made me see them differently. And knowing about Marluxia’s past through khux and his connection to Strelitzia, I really did feel bad for him. Talking about Strelitzia, I do believe that star was her. Although her voice was a lot older sounding than I thought it would be.
I was so happy saving all the trios and I was teary eyed a lot. And the ending just made me so happy. Until the point that Sora disappeared. I was annoyed at why did that happen a bit, but the (I think) relatively recent statement from Nomura which referenced Sora’s abuse of the power of waking and it’s consequenses has helped me understand it more. As long as I don’t have to wait like ten years to save my cinnamon child I’m good. And I do admit, the Xigbar reveal did catch me off guard and does make me exited for the continuation of khux and the following games. Although I do wonder how confused the people who have never played khux were about it
A quick note about the music: The soundtrack was beautiful. As expected of Shimomura Yoko. I did hope for a few more new original tracks for the final bosses, but to be fair it was also very satisfying to hear new renditions of the characters themes from the previous games to fully give closure to those characters and their arcs.
Overall, kh3 wasn’t a perfect game and I did have my problems with it, but I really did have a good time playing it.
A GOT theory after episode 3 of season 8 that I’m putting everywhere so if it does happen I can say “I called it.”
First of all, someone has probably already thought about this but I don’t know if anyone has. So it’s my thoughts, but someone else has probably had the same thoughts as me.
Secondly, the rest will be under the cut because I’m not gonna spoil you if you haven’t seen it because that would just be plain rude.
So, what my theory is, is that Jaqen H’ghar (I know “Jaqen” doesn’t actually exists but I’ll refer to him as that in this because it would be confusing otherwise.) must have know what Arya had to become, which is the one who kills the Night King. Why do I think of that? I’ll list my thought below.
-Jaqen could be referred to as a “perfect” faceless man, if such a thing exists. (At least in my opinion from what I’ve gathered.) If the Many faced god does communicate with the people devoted to them, especially the faceless men, who could be interpreted as their “priests” of sort, Jaqen would be a high candidate to be the person who would be given the message. In a similar way that Melissandre received the messages from the Lord of Light.
-Why would the Many faced god care? Well, what is the most sacred thing to the faceless men, the thing that they worship? Death. And who is the one who “denies” death? The Night King. By raising the dead back to life. If anything would bother the god/worshippers of death, it would be annulling death.
-Why would Jaqen train Arya? Sure, he might have seen potential in her. But why would he look past so many of her mistakes and given her second chances? Sure, he does let the Waif try to kill her in the end, but that doesn’t explain why did he look so proud when Arya refused to become No One and left Braavos? Because he knew she was ready. She now had the skills she needed in order to kill the Night King. She could hide her presense well enough to be able to surprise the Night King. She had the smarts and combat stragedy of a faceless man to do the knife manouver. You wouldn’t call it exactly the most “honorable” thing, and I don’t think that Arya would have learned combat like that if instead of Jaqen, her trainer had been some knight, like Brienne, who would have taught her traditional ways of the knight. But no, she needed the skills of an assassin to confront the Night King.
So the tldr version of this: I think Jaqen H’ghar knew that Arya will be the one to kill the Night King, which is why he trained her and let her leave Braavos.
It’s past midnight for me so Day 2 of inktober for me. (Day 1 was a sketch I didn’t post) Or as I like to call it draw/sketchwhateveryoucanandwithwhateverequipmentyouhappentohaveatm-tober.
I don’t usually post the sketches I draw (especially when they’re made during class), but I actually really like how it turned out. It’s based one the kh3 cover art Aqua. (Obviously to some.)
A new au where Alida becomes the most bs superboss ever in the history of kh.
Just because I can.
The wind howled as dust scattered around the Wastelands. What had brought him here, that he could not know. Taking steps further, Sora came across a large open area. At least, he thought it was open. The dust made it hard to see. Sora traveled along the road. The wind became stronger as the clouds of dirt scattered. Rubbing his eyes clean, he took a look around himself. And was lost for words. Everywhere around him, countless keyblades were struck to the ground. Lifeless. Only four paths were left untouched, forming themselves together in an x-shape. And there, in the center of it all, it sat.
On it’s knees, a suit of armor sat. Looking at the figure, it was obvious it had belonged to a female. Laying in front of it was a keyblade, tattered from use. Sora summoned his keyblade, looking closely at it. Was he like the people who fought here? He closed his eyes, deep in thought.
“Do you seek for answers?” Sora’s eyes sprung open as he heard a voice. But who? This world was empty, devoid of life. Only the suit of armor left behind. “I must be imagining it.” He said to himself.
“Wielder of the keyblade, what brings you to this place?” The voice spoke again. It was gentle, feminine. Sora looked around the area. “Who is it!? Answer me!” A sound of rattling armour carried to his ears. He quickly turned to look at the empty armour. And to his surprise, it lifted it’s head. Her head.
“You... you’re alive?!” He questioned. Even after all his adventures, he still did not expect to witness this. “I ask you again, what brings you to this place, where the great battle once raged?” The voice asked again. “I-I don’t know, I just ended up here!” The woman raised her head head more. “You are the wielder of the keyblade, correct?” “Y-yeah, I am.” The woman took a moment of silence.
“Very well then. Prove me your strenght.” The armoured woman’s hand reached for the keyblade, grabbing it tight. And she lifted herself up. Sora didn’t have the chance to protest. The woman’s attacks were unlike anything he had seen. Her strucks weren’t powerful per say, but her speed and spells were on a completely different level from what he was used to. But one thing he did become sure of.
The armour was empty. Sora could feel the strong spirit inside it, but the way the armour moved, the way it responded to attacks, there was no body inside to take the hits. But at long last, the armour stopped on it’s place.
“That is enough. You have proven me your strenght. But now, show me your resolve.” The woman approached him again, walking, with no fighting intent. Sora was too out of breath to even try to dodge her. The woman placed her hand on his forehead. Images begun spiraling inside his head. Countless wielders, not any older than he himself lost their lives here. A female figure, that he could only suspect to being the real identity of the armour before him, sacrificing herself for the worlds to exist.
Sora gasped for air as the visions ended. He looked straight at the woman. The woman was calm, with no malicious intent whatsoever.
“Tell me, young hero of the keyblade. Knowing this may become your fate, will you still continue on the path of the keyblade?”
