Fighting solo against Cloud and Squall in the Hades Cup is a unique type of hell like even if Donald and Goofy were useless at least they diverted their attention sometimes when I'm all alone it suddenly becomes a game of how many times I can redo that section before I give up (I'll say though it is good for an exp grind in a weird twisted way lmao)

Of all the better Dark Road parallels I could have shown off, this is the one I choose?

But you know what? Sora says "What are you talking about?" a lot in KH1 (and "what's that supposed to mean?" or the shorter "what's that mean?"), so it's always stuck in my mind. So when Eraqus said that line in the finale, it struck me. Perhaps that's another way he and Sora are similar. I mean, they were definitely making some Eraqus and Sora parallels with Dark Road, so I could see it as having been intentional... or not.

Also, Xehanort hearing Eraqus say that in the first scene and him hearing Sora pretty much saying it twice in the second.

I realized something yesterday when I went back to look at KH1FM at the moment when Sora gets flashbacks after closing the door to darkness with Riku. Obviously he's thinking back to him and Riku together, so we see the two of them as 4 and 5 yr olds respectively, sitting on the dock where they laugh. Then we see Riku leaning on the paopu tree while Sora sits on it, and they stare out at the sea in silence.

But here's the weird part. For one, the music just before this was a version of dearly beloved, but when the flashbacks start, they're all backed by Kairi's theme? And that's weird considering Kairi only appears once in the set of flashbacks. And that leads to the next weird thing. Why is Kairi in the flashbacks at all? Based on the other 3 scenes chosen for this and the occasion which Sora's having flashbacks, it's clear this whole thing is about Sora and Riku, but the last flashback scene we get is that scene from the beginning of the game where Sora and Riku start running. It cuts to Sora and Riku being happy as they run, then a shot of Kairi running after them, then it cuts to Sora and Riku looking back at her before running ahead. That shot of Kairi is the one Kairi we see in the whole flashback sequence. But then, strangely, this is the last flashback before Sora stops having flashbacks, and the first thing Sora does, is turn around where he spots Kairi. Except, there's just something off about it. Sora is the only one to turn around after Sora stops flashbacking, for seemingly no reason. It's almost like he was thinking about Riku, but that scene where he and Riku look back at Kairi makes him think about Kairi and resulted in (possibly that being what ends the flashbacks cause he stops thinking of Riku, but there's no proof of that) him just deciding to turn around when he stops flashbacking, which, coincidentally, Kairi is over there behind him when he turns around, just like in the flashback. I almost wonder if that fits into Sora slowly forgetting his memories of Riku and Riku being eclipsed or overshadowed by Kairi

Simple and Clean is by far the best opening song for any game and no one can convince me otherwise
