Ask Kingdom Hearts did a very good job staying in-character, but they're either dead or on an indefinite hiatus.

I'm allergic to fanfic.
Which is a funny thing to be in a thread for a Disney/Final Fantasy crossover fic full of OCs. tongue

Hey, if you know of any other fanfics that are also awesome games, do tell.

Most crossover fighters would probably qualify.

Did you play Namco High? That was fun. I hear the Alien vs. Predator games were good. Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney exists, but I have no idea how awesome that might be.

Heh. Cute.

I like Kairi doing things.

I am legitimately sad that Kingdom Hearts II did not end like this.

Or at least Sora and Kairi fighting him.

It's not like the engine couldn't handle both Riku and Kairi as party members. Though that would make the ill advised interface screw section of the battle even more infuriating, possibly on the level of Arkham's second battle in DMC 3.

Well, it's not like Kairi knew how to fight at that time. Sora and Riku both sparred a lot with wooden swords on Destiny Island and Sora also got to fight a lot of Heartless before his first boss fight (not really counting Leon). Riku probably also did the same before he set foot in Castle Oblivion. Kairi, meanwhile, has only fought a couple of Shadows. Having her go from never having touched a sword to fighting one of the most powerful beings in existence is quite the stretch.

However, KHIII is thankfully set up to at least make Kairi a party member. I really hope she's playable, though.

We don't actually know that Kairi's never touched a sword, or that she never tried sparring the way Sora and Riku did. Just that she didn't do it for the two days they were making the raft.

True, but did the way she flail about her Keyblade suggest that she's used a sword before?

I didn't see anything wrong with or "flaily" about her technique. I think you're imagining things.

That aside, Sora and Riku had three whole games worth of experience under their belts and were the most prepared to handle a threat like Xemnas. Kairi had only just gotten her Keyblade and had only been fighting Shadows for all of a few minutes.

Now King Mickey, on the other hand, would have made for a great party member for that sequence.

Either way, KHIII is thankfully set up to at least make Kairi a party member. I really hope she's playable, though.

Sora started the first game with jack crap in terms of experience.

Inexperienced losers saving the world is the most JRPG plot there is.

Yes, but "started" is the key word he. He didn't leave Destiny Island and them immediately fight Ansem, did he? Any time there's a Final Boss Preview, it's almost ALWAYS a Hopeless Boss Fight.

It's not like Simba or Prince Philip were super experienced either.

Yes, but they weren't fighting the possibly-most-powerful-being-in-the-universe. Don't get me wrong, I really want to see Kairi do stuff (we had a whole game dedicated to Sora and Riku's friendship, hope the devs got it out of their system), but it wouldn't have made much sense for her to fight Xemnas.

[up][up] Prince Philip? You mean the guy who just provided the sword for the Three Fairies to magic into Dragon Maleficent?

As for Simba, he tussled with Nala frequently and then there's the fact that he's a lion who's lived in the wild all his life. That's not a very good example.

[up] Exactly. I agree.

I do kinda wish she had more scenes than just her smacking a few low-level grunts around, though. They at least could have had the non-Sora/Riku be kept busy fighting a bunch of Dusks or Neo Shadows instead of being left to twiddle their thumbs for the later parts of the Xemnas fight.

I sure said that!

I don't see why Kairi needs to be the uber-badass anyway. I mean I get why she needs to have some fighting skill, but making her the best there is with a natural talent just seems like a bit of overkill.

And not a single fuck was spared that day.

[up] I'm not entirely sure what you're saying.

I mean, being an uber-badass seems to basically be what having a keyblade is.

I mean, Sora's list of accomplishments includes beating up gods and master swordsmen.

So I just had a wild and crazy thought.

In order to defeat Xehanort once and for all, Sora takes advantage of how his heart works and seals Xehanort's heart inside his own before then sealing his own heart inside Kingdom Hearts (for reasons I haven't yet thought of).

The next saga would then deal not only with Maleficent and whatever she's been up to but also with trying to find a way to free Sora.
