Waving at the human to get his attention, a cheerful expression came on the knight's face at meeting someone new. "It's super swell to meet ya, I'm Goofy!

The wave got his attention as Terra stopped whatever he was doing and responded to the wave and the greeting with his out, yet also a question. "Name's Terra. What brings you to the land of departure?" It was uncommon to get surprise visitors, but not unusual so Terra didn't ask anything more. "If you are looking for master Eraquis he's away at the moment." His best guess for Goofy being here.

What hairstyle is better?

Pre-Heartless/DDD cut or Heartless cut

The bottom one looks way better on the model, like it looks more natural and blends in better.

Then on the heartless cut, it is all choppy and you can pick out each hair layer which isn't a good thing. It looks like sticks and it looks odd on him. The top one is just off in general.

I mean the heartless did get him a haircut so that's probably why he looks choppy but still... Maybe that's why in the secret ending Riku hair looks way better and smoother because he actually did something to his hair.

He probably was distracted with the ending battle with Xehanort not to care and finally fixed it or while Sora's disappearance FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR sadden him, his hair grew on its own and did something to look a bit better.

HOLY FUCK (slay the princess spoilers!!)

The Narrator explains that the more you walk away from the cabin the more paths appear that lead to the cabin until its all laid out before you that everywhere you go leads to the cabin its impossible to not get to the cabin (at least as far as you know...) and this visual representation of the meta presence of every possible branching path in slay the princess drawn so clearly is BLOWING MY MIND!!!!

usually with meta it stays purely of the mind in video games its kind of hard to portray the eldritch horror of a consciousness of the "rules" of this universe, everything to do with being 'unchained' in kh, the matrix, the good place does this, cartoons like adventure time do this, a wrinkle in time does this, a game that i can think of that actually does do this is life is strange the ability to time travel and realm jump and if i remember correctly seeing the butterfly itself is showing tangible proof of the butterfly effect and it truly is almost some like deific being exacting these events and forming a connection with max (god that reminds me life is strange is so good i was OBSESSED with it) but with video games its not usually tangible its not a place you can go and see and live in because of modeling and this shows how much being 2d really helps slay the princess in portraying the multiverse the multiselves theuniverse shattering reality bending stuff that is going on and it is SO WELL DONE every piece of art is so beautiful and breathtaking god i love this GAME!!!! (kh has also done this with 2d they established it in khux and worked it out in kh3/the dlc!! 2d rules theres so many anime movies that are "trippy" but its this god i love meta so so much it makes my mind feel good mmm i love stp so much

As much as I, um, dislike Lea, I think it's so cute how Saïx brought Roxas and Xion back specifically for him.

He made sure that Lea still had friends just in case he perished indefinitely. He was willing to lose himself into darkness forever for Lea, but before that, he hatched a plan with Vexen and Demyx to make sure Roxas and Xion got their bodies back. Like wow babe you really brought back my favs.

And in the Re:mind DLC, he kept reminding (😏) Xion who she was which ultimately made her lose it. Probably made her gain back all those memories she had, and forced her to remember who she was and what her purpose was. Even when he didn't get the whole deal about Xion, he still wanted her around Lea.

He had the most subtle redemption arc in KH3, and his shit was more believable than what the fuck Xehanort had going on 😒

I still feel like they should've shot that nigga Xehanort dead in his face.

But yeah, like sure he didn't apologize (apologies in Japanese games are like,, non-existent), but he did it in his own way.

Like "Hey, I was mean to y'all before and you hated me, but I need you to be there for Lea... So he doesn't cry like a bitch. K thanks. Here's y'all's bodies back."

And Roxas saying something along the lines of "I owe my return to many" and "The people's hearts you think you've won over aren't really on your side" to Xemnas, like sure he could've been talking about the BULK of the real OG13, but his keyblade was pointed DIRECTLY at Saïx.

Ugh it was so subtle.

Anyways, love KH3. Good game :)

Also I love my husband 🥰🥰😘😘

FOR THE ASKS!!!! 20 and 30!! (axel voice TWO?? (i hope its ok that im asking 2)) (also i know the post came out before kh3 dropped but i see it as what would you change/what were your biggest hopes even after its out)

Hey, you could ask all 40 for all i care. i love you.

20. hopes changes for kingdom hearts 3

HOO BOY. well my FIRST change would be to involve all the girls in the story more - kairi not being pushed to the sidelines and having the same involvement in the story as riku did, anti aqua being a real villain or at least aqua's return being less underwhelming, xion being present in the game before the very end, if not as a familiar hooded figure than at least a ghost that haunts sora and co. and keep naminé influencing the events behind the scenes but actually SHOW her doing so instead of revealing it in a dlc

secondly, id give the former nobodies more depth than just switching to the good side now that theyre people again. i dont think axel & the other nobodies should have lost their old nasty habits or messed up morals just like that. it would be interesting if they all were still grappling with that while trying to readjust to life as a former nobody. i would also particularly adjust saïx's story, because honestly his redemption & change of heart just came out of no where to me. i dont mind him being recompleted but it lacked build up and just feels so different from the saïx we saw in previous games. i think he should of appeared in one of the worlds and foreshadowed his redemption instead of it happening out of no where at the end. (also i would return his hair to light blue)

30. favourite unversed

very basic answer but probably floods. they just have such a satisfying creature design and they remind me of my dear nico <3 i also like shoegazer because its very funny to me that its a shoe

Luxord subtly hints at Sora’s unavoidable fate. He skillfully foreshadows Sora’s actions both in the later parts of Kingdom Hearts 3 and throughout the KH3 Remind DLC.

Remind dlc isnt working because I forgot dlc is needlessly region locked & I brought my kh3 copy off amazon uk

Okay but if it's facinating how many promotion campaigns the chi duology had:

Bravely Default Brague,

Dragon quest Monster Parade,

Niconico town,

Several non playable as of kh3 disney movies,

A twewy port i cant recall the name of,

Ducktales reboot,

Final Fantasy Record Keeper,

Final Fantasy Brave Exvius,

Kingdom hearts 0.2(oh promo Kairi medal who looked very meh on lauch I will never forget you)

Kingdom hearts 2.8

Kingdom Hearts Freaking Three several times

Kingdom Hearts Three Remind

Kingdom Hearts Melody of memory

Kingdom Hearts Dark Road

And probably more I forgot

Hello! This is Keyblade!Anon.

So first things first. My autocorrect changed AU to qu for some reason, but I have gotten it fixed now.

But to answer your question on elemental magic. I have provided a link to a video that shows how magic works, now this will be KH3/ReMind magic as it's the most recent in the series.

https://youtu.be/jXHXAPkDXLY

(It doesn't show Stop or Magnet, as you can't use them in KH3/ReMind if I remember correctly.)

You can use magic multiple times, inside or outside of battle, so long as they have the magical energy to do it. Magical energy builds over time, and can recharge, even in battle.

During the recharging process, they are unable to use any magic, but they can use items like Ethers to replenish their magical energy.

They can still use the keyblade without magical energy and during its recharge period.

Now the choice of what type of magic a person uses is left up to the individual, in KH3's DLC ReMind, we get a chance to see three other characters in the universe's magical preferences, one thing that they all have in common is that they have some level of Cure (Healing magic) on them.

Now, I wasn't able to before in my last ask, but I'd like to mention one more thing before I move onto Forms and Medals.

Keyblades are... Picky on who wields them. Keyblades are drawn to those who A. Have a strong heart and will, and B. Forged one themselves, there is an inheritance ceremony but that doesn't mean you're guaranteed a keyblade, it just means you have qualities to use one.

Hope that answers some questions and explains some things. If you have more questions, please ask! I'm happy to clear up any confusion and answer questions!

so basically to have a keyblade you have to be chosen or make on of your own and "cheat" or just have one... honorably.... in spirit so to speak.

Form and Medals though? Are those items to help with the magic?

🍄 go to a farmer's market (Aqua)

Autumn ask meme The sights and smells of the farmer's market was new to Terra, and not a place he had ever thought of himself going. However, here he was looking at all the produce and walking from stall to stall with Aqua. He was currently at a stall that sold apples, taking a close look at them, they were a bright red in color but there were a few that were green and caught his eye more than the red ones. "Hey Aqua, you interested in an apple if I were to buy a few?" He'd shout towards her, just to make sure she could hear him well.

How could Kingdom Hearts be improved?

So the two big things are "the girls don't do enough as agents of the story" and "consistency of character"

I can use Kairi for an example of both.

KH ReMind DLC - fights off a Real World Xehanort with 13 Keyblades with assistance from boyfriend (assistance is fine, this is a series about friendship)

KH Melody of Memory: Literally has to summon Sora for a final boss fight against a bad memory of Xehanort because fuck her character growth I guess

You cannot have it both ways. Either this character kicks ass and has the ability to support herself or she's a damsel in distress. Flip flopping around her agency and capability in the story just makes the whole thing worse, especially if the whole point of her arc in KH3 is that she's training and becoming more self-sufficient.

Characters can have unprocessed trauma and un-repress memories. The issue with this one specifically is that she is already in her own mind to unlock these flashbacks and the mechanics of the universe allow for literal violence against an agent of her buried memories to be a solution. But no, we cast Summon Boyfriend because it's too much for her to handle and we totally haven't seen evidence of her victory against her fears before. Like shit, if she summoned a memory of Sora to fight WITH HER, I would let this go a little. That shows that she lacks confidence, but that she's willing to fight when she has to.

Let her have a fucking victory. Let her defeat her own problems. Let her be a character.

Pre-Remind KH3 isn't great, but at least Sora isn't severely autistic like the one in DDD.

Well... I think there are a a couple things here. First, I agree that pre-Re:Mind KH3 isn't great. But I also think post-Re:Mind KH3 isn't great, or any better than pre-Re:Mind. I think the only thing it "fixed" for me (sort of) was being able to play as other characters in the Keyblade Graveyard battles. It's my opinion that KH3 irreparably damaged the KH storyline and no DLC could fix that.

As for Sora's behavior, I found him a bit annoying in KH3, but I didn't feel that way in DDD, so it seems we had opposite experiences. DDD is a bit foggy in my mind, but I had the impression in KH3 that Sora had to constantly be lectured and kept on task. In every world I thought, "Does Sora even know what he's doing here?" First he goes to Olympus to get his power back. Then he throws that out the window and decides he's going to help Roxas, but ends up doing... nothing. He felt aimless at a time when the stakes were the literal apocalypse. I think he felt irritating because of this, like he wasn't taking anything seriously. I kinda felt like Donald comments on this in a self-aware way... lol.

I don't think I ever found Sora so careless like this in DDD. He followed the goals he had pretty much. Sora is childish, but I felt there was a marked difference in understanding reality and consequences that made him feel like an actual child in KH3. I'd love to hear what bothered you about him in DDD exactly, though.

To answer your question: Yozora and the Nameless Star!

oooooooh yeah nameless star. i mean the fact that she was a MISSABLE interaction (at least in vanilla kh3? idk) maybe kinda hurts her case as a new character. also yozora was dlc only and some people debate whether remind should be classified as the same game or not lol

Fully brainwashed Jessica au:

Terranort: *helps her and "accidentally" flexes his muscles*

Fully brainwashed Jessica: *blushes and stupid giggling*

(ok could we take a moment to appreciate the fact Terranort gets his ass whooped by lingering will/terra in the ReMind DLC for kh3?)

Right?! That was badass!

also am realizing that now that i have a dedicated 'people can ignore this because it's a shitpost' tag that i can explain why i got so freaked out about a lighting error/weird coloring thing in the data fights in kh3 ReMind. because it is something that i /do/ want to write fic about still, but also i have calmed down enough to realize it's a lighting error.

OKAY so like.

as i think is obvious in some of my posts, i'm a re:coded fan. to be even MORE specific: i am a re:coded and coded fan who is Very Normal (lie) about data versions of characters, and the implications of how data characters like data-sora, data-riku/jiminy's journal, data-roxas, etc.

i am ALSO someone who will latch onto random details.

so, imagine my shock and horror, when, perchance, ReMind comes out and i watch the boss cutscenes. all well and good!

... and then i finish dark road. and i rewatch the ReMind boss fights.

and i get to the young xehanort one. and i... notice the eyes look... kind of weird, yeah? like, there's a weird similar thing going on to the thing in ddd where it's implied MX takes over or s/t? they're weirdly lit, kinda silver. definitely not gold with the way they are, anyway. I go 'oh haha, it's probably a lighting error everybody shares'.

... all the videos i can find (i sadly did have the game to test this on my own time when i was thinking about this :[ ), and literally nobody else had this lighting issue from what i could see.

...this results in me connecting dots in my head about 'and a 14th' line in KHDR. Naturally.

Especially with the super suspicious line from Cid that's like, "I must be better at this than I thought 'cause their data, it's so powerful, I can't access any of it". this is a normal thing to say about data in kingdom hearts. this is an especially cool and normal thing to say in the dlc for a game that had sora say the line "a heart can live on, even inside data."

at this point, i'm pretty sure it IS just a weird lighting error, but it's a really funny one, and one that i'm surprised other people didn't also freak out about.

You know I joked about Sora looking better at PS2 graphics because of that one render of PS2 KH3 Sora and Kairi hugging floating around, but it is actually true.

(The one in the right is the ReMind model, yes, they had to make a new a model for Sora in DLC, because of the lack of expressions I presume.)

I'm starting to think they should make all KH games in Unity now (I mean, Unity games can look really pretty, see Digimon World -next order- and its various editions).
