Would be cool if we got a Sonic collaboration (if it’s possible ofc).

It would’ve been a twist for sure.

Tbh Square Enix female characters are either a hit or a miss, rarely any in between.

Yea I Agree.

Mine is: Sora Roxas Ventus (Almost went for Aqua) Donald

I expected answers like Union X but 358/2days makes sense too.

True [Hikari-kun]

Out of the three protagonists, she’s the least involved in the story, and she doesn’t have connection with Xehanort like the other two does. her visits to some worlds, like Dwarf woodlands & Neverland. It felt like filler, she doesn’t have her own exclusive rival like the other two, she doesn’t develop much as a character, her bosses are mostly Rehashed bosses that we already fought using Ven and Terra (fighting Terranort wouldn’t have changed the outcome, cause all it accomplished is her getting trapped in the Realm of Darkness while Terranort is back to Radiant Garden like nothing happens, since he landed there the first time even if Aqua didn’t fight him). Edit: on the bright side, her story in the Realm of Darkness is much better than all of her BBS story.

KH2 had us control Roxas despite us not knowing who he is, so no I don’t think they went with Ventus first because he looked familiar. they went with him first mostly because of his important role in the story and his history with Xehanort. and also his connection with Sora (diving to the heart and forming a connection with him) is what starts off the game. but again I’m not disagreeing with you, I agree all three are equally main protagonists, but to me Ventus sticks out more due to all reasons listed above.

And dual wield, Ventus is the reason why Sora and Roxas Unlocked Dual wield (and Ventus is also the reason why the organization went to castle oblivion looking for him, basically lots of Lore involves/revolves around him)

No worries I know that wasn’t your intention.

I guess each of the three Main characters can fit the position of a protagonist. But if I have to rank them on which category they fit on the most then this is how I place them... Ventus = Protagonist (or main character?) Terra = Main character Aqua = The Hero

No not quite, a lead protagonist has many meanings, a lead protagonist also means an important character that drives the story (and Aqua doesn’t drive the story, she’s the least relevant of the three main characters in the story), a main protagonist also means an important person, Aqua meanwhile despite being playable the most she is the third wheel in terms of a story (also the final episode only have her one boss fight, she wasn’t more playable until the secret episode came out) so no a lead protagonist isn’t just a character you play as the most, just look it up. but if this word is an issue then I’ll simply just change it.

Actually that’s not what I meant, I know each of the Wayfinder trio set up the series for Sora, but I’m not talking about their involvement in other games, I’m just merely talking about the plot of BBS as a sole game story, and just looking from each of their roles it’s Ven who fits the leading role the most. but I do understand what you’re trying to say, all three are indeed the main leads of the game. and you do make fair points overall.

that’s a fair argument, but I’m not talking about the entire series, I’m mainly just talking about this game BBS. Ventus fits the lead role of BBS the most out of the three due to all the Reasons and evidence that are presented in sight.

We know ultimately that it’s all Three Terra, Aqua & Ventus. but Imo It’s Ventus. 1. the Game starts with Ventus as He Dives to the Heart (just like Sora and Roxas), and he’s mainly the Main controllable character in the Prologue. 2. Most artworks of BBS has Ventus sitting in the center 3. The story of Birth by Sleep is mostly about Xehanort wanting to forge The X-blade (Ventus) in order to take control of kingdom hearts. the only reason he even needs a younger body (Terra) is just to make sure he can see his plans come to fruition before his old body gives out. 4. Vanitas and the Unversed came from Ventus, Xehanort tasks Vanitas to spread his Unversed everywhere just to lure Ventus to the outside world, and it also forced Eraqus to send Terra and Aqua to the outside world as well. 5. Ventus has a big connection with Sora and Master Xehanort. 6. He’s at the center of every conflict, everyone is either after him or worried about him. Terra and Aqua trying to protect him, Eraqus is trying to dispose of him for the sake of the world, Xehanort wants him for his big plan, Vanitas wants to fuse with him to obtain the legendary χ-blade. 7. He saves worlds and many people on his journey, and he doesn’t leave any mess behind (similar to Aqua). 8. He Has the most epic flashy cinematic final boss battle among the Wayfinder trio. 9. His heroic sacrifice stopped the X-blade for good. 10. Ventus goes through character development and even faces his obstacles and conquers them, he faces Vanitas and succeeds in destroying the X-blade and ruins Xehanort’s plan (Terra meanwhile does also have some character development in his story, but he fails in conquering his obstacles and gets possessed by the villain and becomes the main antagonist of the Series. and Aqua is like the hero of the trio, but she doesn’t go through a clear character development until the sequel game 0.2, and also in her debuted game she like Terra, failed in conquering her obstacles cause she couldn’t save Ventus from the X-blade, and she let Xehanort roam free with Terra’s body)
