KH3D Potential to be extremely epic or extremely corny (Spoilers)

[thejokethatkills0617 0]

We now have the basic layout for how the story of KHIII will play out; Master Xehanort leads a new Organization XIII to eliminate the Princesses of Heart and clash with seven Keyblade Wielders to recreate the X-Blade, form Kingdom Hearts, and incite another War. While this sounds very epic, there is also a lot of potential for the story to be more on the corny side. From past games, I know that the series is very capable of both. The idea of seven keyblade wielders, Kairi among them, could be very epic, but it also seems slightly corny to have them all fight together with Yen Sid leading them; Power Ranger and Zoron esq even.

 

Now, people have grown with this series and have matured a great deal. I would say the same has occurred with this series as the more recent games have taken some more dark turns such as Eraque's death and the complex nature of Xehanort's character. However, does anyone have any concerns that this game could turn out very corny? In my opinion, having a Keyblade War and Sora working alone for most of the series would be the best way to end this series. At the most dire moment throughout the worlds, the seven lights fail to stop Xehanort, but Sora stands alone to face Xehanort and defeats him once and for all; becoming the best Kayblade Master of them all. Nomura might make it a little more "restrained" for lack of a better term. He should just know that the audience that started with KHI (and the best people to actually understand the amazingly complex story) are over a decade older and know the more dark nature of life, so he should not be afraid to personify that in KHIII. I'm not talking about mutilation of anything, but just make it more dark and epic than the previous games.

"Become the best Keyblade Master of them all" Is pretty corny and very expected....

There is gonna be some dark things happening though. I expect for most of the people who participate in this "showdown" to fall. It will probably leave Sora and a couple others with the remaining Xehanorts. I feel like there will be multiple storylines being involved here or a lot of POV shifts going on. I feel like the ending will involve Sora finally opening that Door of Light to free everyone who is connected to him and those "who are hurting." If it isn't in this game, then the Door to Light must be at the end of the whole series. I don't think Sora will be alone, but it will be very dark. AS you can see, KH3D has gotten really dark and provided depth and development to the fun-loving flat character we all know to be Sora.

 

I personally wanna see some irony in this and since Nomura has involved multiple Xehanorts and time traveling with multiple time lines, I think it is very fitting that a Xehanort should be on the side of light. He is the Xehanort that turned good and kept fighting when dealing with the darkness. It would be very ironic and fitting to have him have some redemption in the series. But I know this most likely won't happen.

 

Also, Eraqus is in Terra, so you can expect him to come back later in the series or at least be at peace by the end.

Nomura knows very well that it's been ten years and that a large chunk of his audience has matured as the game grew in age. However, he's still under some major restrictions from Disney. Apparently he even wanted KH3D to end differently. I can hardly even imagine. It almost ended really badly. Did he... actually want it to? Dx *flail*

 

Right now my major concern is that Xehanort has too much power to be logically defeated. The bugger can time travel so all bets are now off. Writers have muses. Giving a muse this much power this late in the game is just insane. I'm not sure he can honestly wrap up the Xehanort saga in one more game even though he wants to. That 'muse' of his is going to go down kicking and screaming.

 

We're also acting like "Kingdom Hearts is LIGHT! *oop, Ansem's dead nao*" wasn't already corny, or "Gee, that blast of light from DiZ's machine must have removed him Riku effectively disregarding all of Riku's personal efforts to be rid of him for well over a year." I hate insta-fix buttons almost as much as I hate ret-cons... but I must say I love Xehanort as a villain. I'm not really looking forward to the end of him.

 

As it is, the "my friends are my power" thing has run it's course. It did fairly well stopping Riku in KH1, his doubt caused the Keyblade to jump owners again. Aqua made a tiny friendship speech and was absolutely floored and confused to see the X-Blade react to that and refuse to continue the fight. Even Ven pulled one of those in the middle of his Vanitas fight. But Ven didn't exactly walk away from that battle, not that he really intended to. And in KH3D? Well... it's a nice thought, Sora, but in the end, they're just encouraging words, and not actual power.

 

I'm not sure what kind of substantial and believable plot device they can pull out now that can stop Xehanort's plans. But whatever it is, I also hope it involves Eraqus. For closure.

The thing that we have to remember however is that Disney is actually very dark at times and concerns some very in depth themes, so I think if anything, Nomura is holding Disney back. Also, Xehanort redeeming himself doesn't sound in character at all because he does not believe that what he is doing is wrong at all. Xehanort at this points deserves to be defeated for good because he has been built up as such a great villain who will not compromise his ideals for anything. The man truly believes that what he is doing is good.

He scared Braig off with his friends speech but Xehanort is going to be an much more difficult opponent. Sora's going to need to change somehow.

i do think that there will be really dark moments in kh3. i think a very important character will die near the end of it, i think that it will probably be either Yen Sid or Mickey (more likely that it would be Yen Sid) Yen Sid sacrificing himself to save the younger keyblade masters seems like something that would happen in a game like this

their is one scenario i have thought of where keyblade weilders inside the true kingdom hearts come out and defeat Xehanort with everyone, although i'm still confused on which kingdom hearts in which since in BBS it has a physical shape but in KH1 it looks like the inside is the realm of darkness based on what we see of aqua in her ending in BBS.

 

although doing just that itself could be cheesy, this is one BIG hole they have gotten into
