Something else I forgot to mention that I think Terra should of definitely of been a party member during the final set of Xehanort fights because of how much shit he went through, (body and heart stolen, soul/will/nobody is the suit of armor, heartless it the guardian/meat-shield and forced to work for Xehanort). Should of at least punched him in the face in the final cutscene. But ya like you said, it was too bloated and everything was rushed in the end.

Yeah :/ Every character deserved more. For fuck’s sake though, the villains got more screen time and good moments than the heroes. Xehanort redemption? Saix redemption? Lea and Isa suddenly having a friend to FORM A TRIO??

Nomura butchered KH3 for whatever he has planned for the future. Probably versus 2.0. And I will never forgive him that. Yes, the game is still fun to play and arguably one of the best Kingdom Hearts games if you ignore the entire story. But I also play it for the story, or rather, to see how the characters grow within the story.

But they didn’t grow. They are all static. They’ve undone some of the past character development, especially for Kairi. Where’s my spunky girl? The girl who jumps into a horde of heartless to protect Sora? All without a Keyblade? Again, I appreciate how Sora mirrored this moment, but it is worth so little when Kairi never gets to show her potential at all. She didn’t even get warm during her fight before she was taken a hostage yet again.

And while Sora was finally his KH2 self again, there was still a vital part of his missing - yes, I’m a Sokai shipper, maybe I’m biased, but KH2 Sora thought of Kairi. Imagined her by his side, got teased about her by Donald and Goofy. They dropped this completely. That is why KH2 will stay my fave in terms of story even if the Disney worlds are comparably worse than KH3.

Can’t have it all it seems.

How bout those 3 season 7 venture bros episodes? Jonas Sr doing that stuff to the Blue Morpho (not surprising when you remember rusty's 16th birthday and the honorary members of the fan club), the truth behind the Movie Night and the pyramaid wars with the OSI and Sphinx. SO much good stuff came out

I KNOWWWW this season has been amazing so far and im anticipating continuous amazingness...................its exciting

No worries bout any rant about the ship. They confirmed it, albeit rather poorly but still did it and then they sank it like a submarine sinking a convey ship all within the span of a few hours. And agreed about the redemption bits, honestly I think only Terra and maybe 1 or 2 others should have had but not Marluxia and most of all not Xehanort given how much crap he put everyone through. Also I think Eraqus should of been the final piece and that would of been so much better in stead of Kairi.

I mean they didn’t really sink the ship, but they sank the characters themselves and that’s probably what hurts me more, you know? To know that they could have everything they wanted but nope, Nomura has to be a huge cockblock and rip happiness and hope out of their hands. Ironic, given how the contents of the black box THAT WAS SO FUCKING IRRELEVANT FOR THIS GAME HOLY SHIT STOP PROMOTING YOUR SHITTY GACHA CASH GRAB NOMURA are supposedly “Hope”.

And that after all the teasing. Why make Kairi renders when we never see her truly fight despite 3 keystrokes? Why make Chikai when the game ends on a bitter ending? Heck the Sokai promotion in Famitsu was big, yet the actual game lacked the content until it nearly was too late, when Nomura remembered “Shit the writing for 1, CoM and 2 established they love each other and I kept that going in the later games, uh, uh, uh, I KNOW! THEY HUG AND HOLD HANDS”

So much of a fuck you.

And don’t get me started on Marluxia and the whole “WELL UNLEASH YOUR KEYBLADE LEGACY except not because we want people to spend money on KHUX”. The Xehanort redemption is so bad and his whole goal changed?? Where is my scientist who walks off the deep end because of his curiosity? He was a cautioning tale, told by Riku himself in DDD, yet now he is the misunderstood villain who just wanted to better the world? NO. NO NO NO NO NO.

I see this turn out to be everything Nomura needs for his Versus and I will be so pissed if that’s it. Destroying one of his babies for his other baby? That’s sick.

Another I wish kinda like in how Roxas came in and wrecked the crap out of Saix during that boss fight, in how after defeating Vantias, the lingering will returns and kills the crap out of terranort.

Nomura did so many characters so dirty :/ There was just no way to wrap up 20+ character arcs in 5-6 hours of gameplay. I mean I loved how the Guardian went crazy, but all the Lingering Will build up to have him jump in and vanish again is so... anticlimactic.  

[angel-with-a-pipette]

May we gather in support and solitary for all those wronged by Noruma. (Kairi, Namine, Terra, Roxas, Lea, Sora, Vantias, Aqua, Ventus and many more)

A moment of silence for all the wasted potential...

You have all right to be bitter. Waiting for 14 years, with some games along the way and that was the paidoff that no one wanted. I remember my experience with Lord of the Rings: Conquest. I looked for interviews, videos and defending it whenever and wherever I could on the official forums. Preordered the moment you first could and then it actually came out and it was such a disappointment. Noruma has so much to make up for with dlc. And ya should of worded what happened to the ship better.

Thank you :( Yeah the thing is the build up during the promotion was there, the hype was there, the promise... a part of my childhood. To be fair, I was a teen more than a child when I first played KH 1 and 2 because I was KH2 Riku’s age, but it still influenced me. The cheese lines many people seem to hate so much gave me hope. Seeing how Riku overcame his Darkness, seeing the Wayfinder reunion fills me with hope.

But seeing the purest light of them all lost and dead after giving his all for the people who care about him? It devastates me. I wouldn’t be upset with the Sokai hadn’t they advertised it so much. But Sora being dead? That is the lowest blow and what truly hurts. I can take a lot of bullshit in the story, heck, I would probably shut up about how unfairly Kairi was treated if at least Sora survived. But this I can’t take. And that after so many of us put our trust in Nomura to get a satisfying ending. Lots of the interviews he gave seem pointless in hindsight, he didn’t deliver.

At least the Disney worlds were incredible. The Disney staff should probably overlook the writing more. I know this is controversial seeing how many franchises Disney ends up taking over and changing, but KH belongs to them anyway. Just make sure Nomura doesn’t butcher his own characters for the sake of... non-story. For the sake of his own shiny new game with his “true king”.
