Kingdom Hearts

PROBABLY BOTH, I KEEP GOING BACK TO RE: CHAIN OF MEMORIES AFTER ALL... AND OCCASIONALLY SPYRO ENTER THE DRAGONFLY!!!

I AM STUCK IN ALL CAPS AND WHAT IS THIS?!?

If you aren't finished being scarred for life, I have something more horrible than Kaaqua for you.

...Apparently this "Gangnam Style" thing is a meme on the internet. I have no idea why. But then, I don't get most of the memes on the internet.

-sees Kaaqua picture-

-isn't overly disturbed by it-

Eh. I'd ship it as a joke. But hey, just be glad that it's just bestiality and not necro-bestiality.

Nothing wrong with a little Gangnam Style!

Terra and Aqua do it too.◊

In regards to the creepy stuff you guys were posting...I once stumbled upon an entire group on Deviant ART dedicated to Kingdom Hearts-related vore. With 150+ members.

-hands out Brain Bleach-

On a less disturbing topic, I got a friend into the series. He's only played 3D, but I told him to watch the cutscenes from the other games first. He seems to like it so far.

Does anyone else wish that Sora had the ability to Dual-Wield in 3D? I mean, it's supposed to be this super special thing he can do after KHII, and it would be nice to actually play as him doing it. Word of God even says that he can do it outside Drive Forms, and that was just a gameplay thing. So what gives?

...Besides, having Armored Ventus Nightmare dual-wielding Wayward Wind with Kingdom Key, or maybe even adding a floating Void Gear in the mix would have been neat. We know that Sora has three keyblades in his heart somewhere. Because Sora, Roxas and Xion all used the Keyblade at the same time, on the Day Roxas went to sleep.

And no, this isn't just an excuse for Oathkeeper and Oblivion.

Yes. I do so want Sora to Dual Wield again.

Anyone else wish that Lost Memory had been more based off of Wayward Wind? After all, taking the original secret ending that showed BBS's final battle, we know that Terra had Ends of the Earth, and Aqua had Stormfell. So it would've been cool for all of their best Story Keyblades to look like their original models.

...

Phew. I see I dodged the Kaaqua bullet.

And hey, don't be dissing PSY. I'd take Gangnam Style over Kaaqua any day of the week.

I guess, but I can't say I stressed over it too much the first time I noticed it.

BESTIALITY!!! THIS IS NOT SONIC NEXT-GEN!!!

Aside from that, I apologize to anyone whom I may have annoyed with my "Aqua = Light 'em Up-Anti-Villain" discussion. I just figured that it would make for a Shocking Swerve if Master Xehanort was finally Out-Gambitted by one of the heroes, only for said hero to go the Vigilante Execution-route against the forces of darkness because he/she had finally had enough of darkness threatening the worlds over and over again. I just figured that said hero might as well be Aqua, since she is the only playable original character who has not also been a Boss Battle yet, not to mention her being Eraqus's only direct successor and all. Now you know my Freudian Excuse.

The thing is that, in my experience, people tend to complain about shocking swerves.

The Lingering Sentiment is one character I could see executing Xehanort. Terra himself might not, because Terra actually has some morality, but the Lingering Sentiment itself is just Hate and Rage.

Another is maybe Young Xehanort.

Quoth Ben Diskin, in his interview with Khinsider:

I still think it'd be interesting if Terranort was shoved into the armor. I have no bloody clue what would happen, but...

I wonder how Ventus will be saved in KHIII? Before 3D, I assumed that Sora would pull the same thing he pulled to wake up Kairi, but now I'm starting to think that perhaps Riku will travel into Sora's heart and bring Ventus out with him.

That is interesting info regarding Young Xehanort.

I'd rather like to see a Young Xehanort vs. No Heart battle. Speaking of which, does anyone think we'll face No Heart-era Xehanort as one of XIII-2?

@ unnoun: Interesting. Good find.

Young Nort is the only uncorrupted member of the group, right? He's the only one who doesn't use Darkness or some variant, right?

@ Null: Depends on if Not Old-Not Young!Xehanort is one of the recruits. It seems a bit unlikely, though, considering that No Heart is Xehanort's Keyblade Armor and thus should be in the old man's possession (if just not utilized for who knows why).

...Well, Young Nort is apparently possessed by Master Xehanort for the boss fight. Does that count as corruption?

No Heart isn't just Xehanort's armour, according to Nomura, it's a 'replica of Xehanort in his prime'. Adult Keyblade Master Xehanort is a period of his life we haven't yet seen: pre-Keyblade Young Xehanort and elderly Master Xehanort are bookends to a larger story, one that No Heart (or middle-aged Xehanort) occupies the centre of.

I'm still convinced No Heart is pretty much a final boss preview for the entire saga.

@Peridonyx: Don't sweat it. Like Zelenal said, though, twists just for the sake of having twists are not okay with most people, and thus far Nomura has at least tried to avoid it (well okay, that's not entirely true, he's admitted that one of the things he focuses on with regards to story is "making it surprising"). YMMV on how successful he was, particularly with regards to certain (TIME TRAVEL-Y) aspects of it, but almost nothing has come completely out of left field. That being the case, Aqua turning into a Well-Intentioned Extremist would be nothing short of an Ass Pull given what we've seen so far. And Aqua's super popular, so that'd just tick people off even more.

@unnoun: I really like the idea of Young Xehanort having a Heel–Face Turn of some kind in the end... I'd hate for it to turn out Xehanort had always been that evil.

But how does that gel with MX who is a complete monster?

He stops his future self from ruining the universe, then eventually grows up to become his future self. After he forgets everything of course.

...

That would just be a weird way of doing things since it's not like he has some form of epiphany from that. I think there are better ways to end the threat of Xehanort than that.

Well, there would be a sort of hopelessness to it all. Because of the whole can't change the past thing, he has no choice but to become the monster he hates.

At least he could stop himself from making things worse.

@Khfan 429: Well actually, according to my Wild Mass Guessing, there will indeed be some form of buildup in KH 3 for Aqua's eventual Anti-Villain-turn (subtle, Fridge Brilliance-type buildup, but buildup nonetheless). I never intended to suggest an Ass Pull, but you know what they say, ^{all toasters toast toast} Poor Communication Kills
