I thought Replica's already had hearts, they were just artificially fashioned. ?

Nobodies can grow hearts and data entities can grow, hearts, so presumably replicas can as well. We haven't seen a replica live long enough or have the positive interactions to do so unimpeded except for Xion. She appears in the version of Destiny Islands in Sora's heart that Riku accesses at the end of Dream Drop Distance along with Roxas and Ventus (where they ask the questions that determine if you get the secret movie, and also mirror how the questions at the start of KH1 determine how you level up).

That... feels anticlimactic. And reinforces the point my friend made that Sora could do with a more personal keyblade.

It does fit that Sora's an amalgamation. Since age 4 he's had Ventus in his heart and by the end of KH2 Roxas and Xion are in there. Roxas has a notable impact on Sora in KH2, emotionally (such as through Anti-Form) and to some limited degree physically (his hair is a lighter shade of brown than in KH1). Thematically he's connected people across worlds and time, explicitly stated at the end of re:coded when he's the key to free the Wayfinder and Twilight trios from their suffering. He's used "my friends are my power" multiple times, at one point even summoning images of all the keyblade wielders and allies shown by that point in the franchise (during the end of his storyline in Dream Drop Distance just before the Xemnas boss fight). It was a big part of his speech when the Kingdom Key decides its true allegiance to him in the first game. It is a shame that the "wand chooses the wizard" aspect for keyblades wasn't explored more deeply, instead going for "you get a keyblade, you get a keyblade, everyone gets a keyblade!"

Probably Data-Sora

Yep, Data Sora. Maleficent is able to destroy his data rendered keyblade because it's data. However during his first trip to the data rendering of Hollow Bastion and travelling through with Goofy and Donald, he's able to manifest one on the strength of himself as an individual, not a digital doppelganger of Sora.

As Mickey says:

Quote

The Keyblade's power comes from the wielder's strength of heart. Once, an old friend said to me, 'A heart is so much more than any system.' The Keyblade we gave you before was one we created—it was nothing but data. To tell ya the truth, I never expected it to have the same kinda power as the real Keyblade. That weapon was just a replica; it didn't have any substance. That's why Maleficent could destroy it so easily. But, during your journey, you really made a connection with all of us. You've become more than the system, Sora. The power you found inside of you isn't like anybody else's. And when you accessed that power, that's what brought your Keyblade back.

Fingers crossed for (at least) the Kingdom Hearts HD collections ported to the Switch

Or at least, all the games in I.5+II.5, plus Dream Drop Distance.

It's possible that 0.2 and III may be too big for the Switch.
