How many versions of Ansems theme are there

Can I get a refund from listening to that ;_;

:gandalfwhite:

Heh well he has multiple themes so it would be far worse than this

At least this is just 13th Struggle

Let’s see there’s the kh1, CoM, multiple ddd versions, his part in the trio song, and the data version

Indeed

And even stuff like the kh3 cutscene version of The Deep End

oh god you actually did it

The worst part of all ansem

Would be the fact that some have slow build ups and others dont

The best part

Is that you should add Riku's 'Here it comes' line to the mix for extra torture

yo speaking of themes tho

oof I haven't listened to this in a while

you know

and this is just sort of a weird interpretation when I look at the art in that thumbnail

But I think the original goal of KH3 was definitely have Sora be the focus and stuff

moreso than other games

but in more of like a student-teacher way

like idk

I feel like it was originally supposed to be a sort of odyssey where as Sora goes throughout the worlds, sure he learned some stupid thing from the disney worlds and stuff

but he slowly gained more and more introspection through the org members as well as they spoke to him

which was supposed to culminate in this ultimate sacrifice in the end based on Sora's mental growth

idk
Sora in the beginning feels childish.
"I do know hurt..."
"Aww, did what Maleficent and Pete say hurt ya feelings?"
etc

just this sort of weird sensitivity

He deconstructed the lessons Sora took from Hercule's sacrifice, and gave Sora a different perspective

Even the other ones
Larxene didn't want Sora to force ideas on Elsa
There's definitely a message with Marluxia but I don't really get it
and Vanitas and Dark Riku don't really have one, unless I'm just bad at reading into it

But like even Xemnas and Ansem, they just called Sora stupid for thinking he could just put Roxas into data and he would live happily

Vanitas was just an antithesis to the world, as the world is powered by laughing (positivity) then Vanitas is powered by negativity

Not sure if Repliku had a message, but the stuff Hiro learned that mercy killing someone you love is something you have to do when it matters

Maybe that doing the right thing isn't what will always bring about growth

idk

Young Xehanort probably had one but he was too busy getting roasted by Woody that I didn't really pay attention

His was weather a toy really did have a heart or not because they could be possessed by a heartless

Eh
I mean

it fits with toy story

idk too much about in kh tho
I feel like the pinocchio thing did that well enough

Yeah but this time you actually see the struggle of it through Buzz

But either way
My point was I think from the start kh3 was very much planned to be Sora's odyssey, Aqua, Terra, Ventus, Riku, they were there. and they did things, but I think they were just there to sort of support Sora

which from a fanservice perspective, eh
but I think it had really good potential

I really liked that Xigbar and Hercules dialogue lol
if the whole game was that, I think it would've been amazing

I see that it seems we are trying to discuss whether or not the worlds had any impact on Sora, and while they may have had one, what lasting* impression will any of it actually have? I don’t feel like half of those world’s experiences will be referenced or reflected in his personality unless they come back, and if a few of them do, it’ll probably be next game where we aren’t going to them as Sora ? which honestly, might be preferable to see the impact he had on *others and not the other way around? I know Days tried something like this with Roxas having people vaguely mention Sora, but we can do so much more with that if say, it’s interchangeably Kairi and/or Riku going around asking about him?

I was more saying that I think that was the intention but it was sort of rushed and it just didn't come out too well, except for in a couple of cases

But yeah I'd love to see everybody else reacting to life without sora and being like wow everything sucks now

or everythings great now

either is acceptable

Yeah I wasn’t sure if I was spot on with that, but I saw it as an excuse for a paragraph

Either way it’s all good conversation

Some of these screenshots I just can't take seriously

That entire scene is full of shots I cant take seriously
