Though I don’t like the image of Square Enix being money grabbers, as they make great games with great stories and allot to do. I mean the only folly I can recall them doing is Unlimited Saga…
A future trilogy of 3, does indeed sound like a good idea (and if by doing so, opens up another trilogy, doing a sorta Star Wars thing (George…WHERE’S the next three involving Leia and the Han solo kids? 0_-). I think that Sora should be the main playable character in KH3…and if they’re not playable…KH4/5 should have Kairi and Riku be playable (fully, like Sora).
Of course I have the thought that a future game would involve Mickey further and his obtaining of Darkside…
I’ll get to Sora’s character in a little bit…
Yeah…I do admit it’s hard to imagine much more with Halloween Town…though maybe there could be call-backs…like an accesory like uhh…“Jack’s Tie” which increases elemental damage or something…
Bambi WAS included as a summon before hand…and so was Simba…
And it was noted Simba’s “world” was destroyed…but in KH2 it’s alive and well. So Sora’s involvement in the first one may have actually restored worlds…so I have no disagreement about Bambi returning.
I DO however…find it difficult to imagine it game-wise…as the world of Bambi was essentially peaceful…but maybe it can become a mini-world…and HOPEFULLY take the place of ugh…Pooh…
Sword in the Stone…that would be difficult given the media…but since Tarzan kinda had a similiar work, perhaps it’s possible…unsure of all the elements play-wise…BUT the fact that Merlin has been in the past two, I wouldn’t ignore it.
Robin Hood…now THERE’S one that might take Bambi’s place. Robin would make an interesting first in range fighter party members, and the rescue of Marian gives a sorta base-plot for the world.
Neverland…I have to admit I liked goinge there in the first KH. Though given Hook’s defeat…hmm…what I would like to see is that Malificent recovers some of the “villains” (a note for Halloweentown…Oogie is already “defeated” so not him)…and I would also like to see Riku fighting him, as he had spent more time on Hook’s ship than others.
That is something I find rather admirable about Mickey in this one…he understands his role as a key-bearer, as well as the seriousness of the Heartless and disappearing of worlds.
It’s alright, I’m usually overlooked heh
Kinda reminds me of Spyro in his new games, being much more sympathetic than in his old ones ^0^ Anyway…Roxas contained more of Sora’s rougher side…and at the time of KH2, Roxas was dormant…at least until near the end at the Skyscraper.
I think Diz’s comment about Sora being “too nice for his own good”, which he told Roxas, is indication that Roxas held a part of Sora’s personality around, and without it, Sora wouldn’t be able to figure out his role as Keybearer. For instance, if Roxas was awaked early, Sora might have caught on that him defeating Heartless was actually helping the organization.
Perhaps some of Roxas’s own feelings of being in the organization sub-conciously fueled Sora’s anger at them…
Of course a little tipsy thing about Donald and Goofy of noticing these things would be he was just “grouchy from being asleep” hehehe
Of course another thing to note is there’s two kinds of Heartless, the Pureblood and the Emblem, the later of which were created in a machine by Ansem (curiously enough, we get to see this device in Kingdom Hearts at Hallow Bastion, but are only able to see the hallway and the room just once).
Of course many might not care as they’re labled the “villains”, like a certain other someone I know…ahem coughs…Anyway…this is a bit of a spoiler…but it’s learned that many of the organization members (not all mind you) were actually scientific assistants to Ansem the Wise of Radiant Garden. Pushed along by Xehanort…the process of…how they became Nobodies I’m a bit confused on…but anyways…it seemed the reason they did this was to satisfy their natural curiosity of Hearts, ironically losing theirs. It seemed the others aimed to retrieve their hearts, while Xehanort hungered for something more…
Honestly there are still some unanswered questions. Sure, many around Xehanort…but there are others. Since they became Nobodies…did they spawn Heartless as well? Xehanort’s Heartless, the main enemy of Kingdom Hearts, took human form and had immense power over darkness. He even possessed Riku, a keybearer, and nearly blacked out his willpower.
Sora, like most protagonists, don’t turely understand the antagonist’s true motives, or why they are doing what they do. Axel shows that there seems to be more unanswered questions about Nobodies in general, as he actually considered Roxas a friend, and went against the whole organization to bring him back, and in the end, help Sora. That alone should have gotten Sora to question his own actions. Axel’s death, however, triggered Roxas to be brought out…but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be enough for Sora to start understanding.
Hopefully in Kingdom Hearts 3, now that Sora has been home, and the day-to-day activities of his life continue…perhaps he will start to question things (I doubt a weilder of the keyblade will be stuck in the humdrum of school and blitzball), and wonder (as the opener) if his task is truely done…
