Grotesquery 603 Posted October 1, 2014 The main character’s, such as Sora, Riku, KAIRI, King Mickey and Master Xehanort, It doesn't matter how many times they say that, they'll need to show it before it can convince anyone. Or, at least, before it can convince me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kittenz 4,281 Posted October 1, 2014 “Character Correlation Diagram”, which explains the relation between the characters. So many headcanons will be shattered *evil laugh* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sora96 17,256 Posted October 1, 2014 Did someone know if it is coming to America? Ultimania's are never released in English. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hero of Light XIV 2,381 Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) It doesn't matter how many times they say that, they'll need to show it before it can convince anyone. Or, at least, before it can convince me. Um, so you're not convinced that Kairi is a main character? Is this Ultimania hardcover? Can't tell from the photo It's hardcover.

Grotesquery 603 Posted October 1, 2014 Um, so you're not convinced that Kairi is a main character? At the very least, I'm not convinced she possesses the same level of importance as Sora, Riku, Mickey, or Xehanort. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marco Basile 47 Posted October 1, 2014 Do you know where could I look for in order to import it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hero of Light XIV 2,381 Posted October 1, 2014 At the very least, I'm not convinced she possesses the same level of importance as Sora, Riku, Mickey, or Xehanort. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, that could be debated, but I'd rather not bother. I've got other things to do. All I'll say is that I find that she IS important, they just haven't been giving her a lot to do in the overall plot. Hopefully that will change in III. 1 Kittenz reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MysticVriska 70 Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) It's a shame all of the best stuff only stays in Japan. It's like they're still holding onto the attitude they used to have before they were forced to open up to the rest of the world, just for certain things only. As much as I doubt it, maybe they'll make an exception with this one. Edited October 5, 2014 by MysticVriska Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
