History YMMV / TheInterference

* NightmareFuel: The last updated chapter of ''Dark Renegade'' dedicates around a screen of space to a claustrophobic description of [[spoiler:darkness enveloping Alex's body slowly and uncontrollably]].
* OmniscientMoralityLicense: To a degree, Alex might have this, in that he is partially {{Railroading}} the stories in order to fit most of what they usually are, while "fixing" what he thinks could be changed. [[spoiler:He does recognize some of this, like how performing a HeroicSacrifice against [[VideoGame/ChronoTrigger Lavos]] affected his friends, but only after the fact. This is why he isn't prepared for all of that control to be taken away from him forcibly in the fourth story, most notably his heart unlocking from Joumae's [[JustForPun interference]], while Jak and Daxter are prepared to fight him more or less, having been essentially [[IndyPloy going with the flow]] for their entire franchise.]]
* {{Tsundere}}: Alex seems to fall into behaviour more reminiscent of this rather than JerkWithAHeartOfGold. He also fits the original character arc.

* WhatAnIdiot: Seriously, Yen Sid?! Send a guy like Goofy to [[CrapsackWorld Haven City]] without even warning him about how dangerous such a place is! I thought you were supposed to be wise.

* HarsherInHindsight: [[spoiler:Joumae is ''Alex's darkness in human form''. A few years later, a character fitting a similar origin appears in ''BirthBySleep'' - [[AlwaysChaoticEvil Vani]][[EnemyWithout tas]].]]

* HilariousInHindsight: [[spoiler:The process by which Roxas gives Kairi a Keyblade via Alex in the first story is identical to the [[TakeUpMySword Keyblade Inheritance Ceremory]] in BirthBySleep.]]

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: The reunion with [[spoiler:Alex]] in the third story as well as the scene when the [[OfficialCouple Official Couple]] became, well, official.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: The final bosses of each of the stories.
** In the first story, [[spoiler:Alex finally achieves [[EleventhHourSuperpower Final Form]] with Sora and Riku as the others, and defeats Xemnas.]]
** In the second story, [[spoiler:Joumae destroys the sentient Anti Alex and allows Alex to turn to Final Form to defeat Dilan.]]
** In the third story, [[spoiler:Alex uses a shard of the [[CoolShip Epoch]] to transform his Lightning Guard into [[TimeMaster the Time Fracture]], giving him his first completely unique skills that he uses to take down Aeleus, though [[FullmetalAlchemist Ed]] deals the final blow.]]
