A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.
All of the usual forum rules
apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

Ah, Kingdom Hearts. Where you run around killing people (With missing hearts I guess?) using a giant key.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayWait, does Heart meaning something else like cartoon character?
If so, that would explain why it's a Kingdom of Hearts.

It's referred to as "the human heart", but it's probably not referring to the physical organ. It doesn't refer to a character though :P
Kingdom Hearts is actually the massive collection of all the bodiless hearts released by the Keyblade; It's essentially the heart of all worlds, and holds massive power, which is why it's constantly sought out by the bad guys.
Yeah, the plot's pretty convoluted, but ehh.
The series sort of tied up some plot threads at both ends with BBS and DDD, so it feels a lot less complicated than i did in the KHII era.
Anyway, hearts?
In Kingdom Hearts, it's sort of an essence that acts as the seat of emotions and personality, as far as I can define it. It's what defines the person. If someone's heart is full of darkness (anger, hatred, fear, etc) they can fall ot the darkness, and their heart will leave them and become a Heartless. Yes, I know the name makes no sense there. It's one of he things that make it clear the first game didn't have a whole series in mind. Anyway.
The other kind of foe is a Nobody. A Nobody is what's left behind after a Heartless is created. An ostensibly emotionless empty shell, made of the body and memories left over when the heart was taken. They have odd motivaions, but a lot of htem seem to seek to get their hearts back and become whole again.
So, a Heartless is basically a creature of pure emotion and id, and a Nobody, while more intelligent, is similarly missing something.
I have a message from another time...^^ Huh, well, that explains something I've been in the dark about for several years. Back in school I wrote a Dark Link fic, and someone commented that my interpretation reminded them of the Nobodies from KH. I'd never played it, so of course I had no idea what that meant.
Kingdom Hearts and I had a bitter relationship
I tried KH 1, and it was way too difficult in a bad way. Maybe it's me screwing up the build or refusing to grind, but everything killed me in 1-2 hits, and even with dodge roll Sora is incredibly slow, so after the Tarzan level I got fed up with it and just watched the story.
KH 2 was the opposite, a button masher that relied on reaction commands and limit breaks and poof win. There's only like two things that require some strategy to them - Saix and Sephiroth. And the plot is indeed a complete mess. I never understood it even after beating it.
And then I bought DDD because it had NOTRE DAME. To my horrified realisation the game replaced Donald and Goofy with weird pokemon, and the game's got a timer. So I did the same thing I did to Majora's Mask. Stopped playing. I'm sure Majora's Mask is a nice game, but I want to play my adventures at my own pace, and this timer making me hurry up just kills the experience for me.
So we've got a bunch of new nominees for the reaction archive:
Did some substantial re-writes to the Daring Do just for fun page to better match up with continuity.
I left the actual book summaries and the like untouched, figuring that Daring Do would have exaggerated or made up parts in order to tell a more interesting story.
That, and there's a lot of extra pages. Like, a lot. Way too much for me to go through.

The three finest things in life are to splat your enemies, drive them from their turf, and hear their lamentations as their rank falls!Post of the Day #584
You know what, lets go all in and throw in some product placement as well. If season 4 doesn't have Twilight drinking a Pepsi I'll be disappointed.
She'll be okay. Got any more popcorn?

Same :P It's incredibly frustrating.
Also, I drew Sora
