YMMV / Kingdom Hearts: The Third Epic

• Arc Fatigue: General Saber’s arc in Final Confrontation lasts almost half of the entire fic. Hell, he almost gets more importance given to him than the Big Bad, Sirius!
• Like You Would Really Do It:
  • Sora’s near-death at the end of Final Confrontation. Judging by the way it was written, it could have well been originally meant as a genuine end for Sora, seeing as how the fic basically stated him as dead in the chapter where it occurs, only for him to show signs of life in the next chapter. And this is not the first time he's been close to dying: General Kai mortally wounds him in Halloween Town, Lord Cavendish beats him to within an inch of his life, and he gets blown up and covered in shrapnel in Final Confrontation.
  • Riku’s death in Conclusion. He was dead and buried, and a short epilogue about Sora and Kairi in their twilight years ‘looking forward to seeing Riku again’ was written. It all had to be retconned via the Dragon Balls so that Final Confrontation could proceed.
• Moral Event Horizon: Rellantando in Final Confrontation crosses this when he burns Twilight Town’s city hall to the ground. With all the civilians inside.
