I lost to evil shadow me the first time because my friend insisted I go for the head because I get more exp that way. problem is that Kingdom Hearts's platforming sucks so much I can barely walk up shadow me's arms when I'm supposed to. I had a hard time doing that with the second battle but less so, I made more hits to the head, and thanks to my training with Wakka, I was totally able to hit back his attacks at him.
In short, I won, and now I'm sucked into a vortex for my troubles, which makes my entire fight with evil shadow me entirely pointless.
Scene change to Donald Duck and Goofy watching a star go out. Which probably means that Sora's family, the Final Fantasy Trio, and the whole island has been obliterated. That's pretty depressing.
Oh well no time to lament, Sora's too stupid to care about the loss of his family and friends, Donald Duck and Goofy are here! Welcome to Traverse town, a town so empty you have to wonder why it's called a town at all. The bumbling fools are stil trying to find this key and are going to see some guy named Leon but good ol' Pluto finds Sora.
seriously, how lucky does this Sora brat have to be? But seems that every opportunity for his imminent destruction turns out to just him being somehow mysteriously be given something or transported somewhere. I wish for the day he is replaced by Mickey and I can have a proper Disney action RPG with Mickey, Donald , and Goofy traversing the Disney multiverse trying to save it form great evils such as the Phantom Blot, Pete with a level in badass with his sniveling The Dragon Mortimer Mouse.
Oh well.
You know for someone who was just thrust from the destruction of his home and had to fight his evil dark self, you'd think Sora would be more concerned with why the dog he just met has a completely different art style from him.
Yes Sora, you are in a different world, but how the hell would you know that? For all you know you could've washed up on a different island. Waitaminute... Is that Tidus in the middle of the town square in arguably better clothes? why doesn't Sora recognize him? Why does that woman have to explain things to me? WHAT THE HECK IS THAT SMALL WHITE THING!?
I think 'll use the Pokemon principle and call it a Kupo. They're Square Enix creatures clearly since I doubt such things would ever appear in any Disney canon.
You know this game makes it too danged obvious who the final fantasy people are and who the Disney people are. I mean really, all the Final fantasy or Final Fantasy-esque people stick out like sore thumbs it's not even funny. Tidus-clone and Sora match the Traverse Town scenery like a black person matches a KKK meeting.
I like that The Traverse town directional signs are gloves pointing.
Okay some things I've found, there are these red and blue spots on the walls and ground that look important but don't do anything. There's this barely hidden blue door/chest thing with a giant keyhole on it and there's an unopenable treasure chest. This means I'll have to go find the supplies I need to open these things during the game and come back to Traverse town.
I enter the accessory shop and find some blond guy who is clearly from the Squeenix side of things. Say, wasn't he in the Final Fantasy VII movie? His name is Cid? How the hell do you pronounce that? It can't be Kid or they would've just wrote "Kid". and it can't possibly be pronounce "Sid" because that's already a nickname short of Sydney. What the heck do I call this guy? S Kid?
S Kid apparently can read minds, how the hell did he know Sora was from an island?
Also S Kid apparently has a habit of leaving his treasure chests filled with valuable mythril shards on window panes for... some... reason.... I don't think I should put my faith in you S Kid if you can't even keep your valuables from being stolen by some brat you just met.
I enter the nearby item shop and see... HUEY! DEWY ! LOUIE! Boy am I glad to see... you... Kids? Perhaps it's because I'm more familiar with the Quack Pack cartoon but where are my three personality-diverse teenaged Huey, Dewy, and Louie? And why are these three kids running an item store? and why the hell is Sora not freaked out by three child sized talking ducks? Lemmie guess, when you've seen giant shadows of yourself trying to kill you you've basically seen everything?
So I decide that sicne I have nothing to worry about I'll leave this First District and enter the Second District. Such creative names. And I'm betting there's a Third District too. And I shouldn't get my hopes up, but if my hypothesis is correct, there might even be a Fourth District.
Ugh
So yeah, some apparently gets his heart swallowed up by a silly looking heartless in a knight costume. Sorry Buddy, the Renaissance fair was last weekend.
And now I get attacked by more heartless. And all this group attacks by mooks make me yearn for the music of Ron Wasserman during the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers days. In fact, I'll pull some up right now to make the fight more interesting. As the rangers screamed back in the day "PUTTIES!"
