Think failure in all caps is a little dramatic

She's definitely been mismanaged though

Least obvious kairi ragebait

can't believe this is still going

We still get people on Twitter rage farming with either

"Guys KH3 was Great actually" or "Man KH3 really does SUCK actually", and both still work; I'm not too surprised lol

Lol fr

hm

I'm not even gonna deny kairi has been mismanged at times

but so much of this rant seems deliberately inflammatory, and accusing the devs of having some purposeful "misogynistic agenda" is a bit much

OP is thinking their subjective opinion is objective

I hate mary sues and over-powered female characters

I like Kairi and Botw/Totk Zelda, regardless of how much some sections of the KH/Zelda fandoms pile hate on them endlessly, because I prefer someone who feels relatably human with insecurities, flaws and has to struggle before they succeed, rather than someone who flawlessly overcomes any problem in their way immediately

Women don't have to be as physically strong as men, raw animalistic strength is not the only kind of strength that matters or the only value or trait that matters. Many of the disney princesses highlight that. It's odd OP brings up the disney princesses but can't see that. Cinderella's value as a character isn't her beating up armies single-handedly but who she is as person, and how she overcomes the crappy situation she was dealt.

Uhhh

Just speaking my thoughts about that post

yeah Nomura isn't misogynistic he's just not great at writing women lmao there's a big difference

Oh nah dw i was js baffled by the wall of text till i saw what you guys were talking about

lol dw

and yeah like, it's really not that he singles out Kairi. It's across the board that he fumbles his female characters in some way

Even Aqua, who is the best written, has some problems especially in KH3 (honestly I feel every character was handled badly in some way in KH3, not just Kairi)

Honestly, I don't expect perfectly written women from Japanese games written by men lol. But there is also far worse out there and Kairi isn't that by a longshot, imo. The biggest problem to me is they simply don't give her enough time on-screen.

honestly tho, idk if this id a hot take, but I feel like he's been pretty good to/with Xion.

She's been in like- a game and a quarter lol but

And honestly Namine was good in Chains

Namine hasn't really been relevant since chains, is the thing

yeah.... 😔

and while I love Xion, I also remember when she was hated and all we had was days

crazy how the passage of time changes perception lol- I've always loved days but BBS was the de facto popular spin off, at least in America. Now it feels more balanced in terms of popularity

for sure lol it's been interesting to see

also "I hope this reaches Square Enix some way, somehow. This is not a suggestion. This is a warning. " this is very dramatic and I doubt square reads kh13 forums lol.

I do hope they do more with Kairi in KH4, but we also don't even know what's really going on with anybody else, either

It's a bit early to go into full-blown doomerism, I think

We can make negative predictions for KH4 all day, but it's probably not very productive to do that

..... I didn't actually read the post did they actually say that sksksks

I just read the title lol

yeah at the end lol

Thats awesome

9/10, gg

They legit sound like a president of a country lol what the

It hurts but it's so true 😔 she's one of my favorites

She legit could have actually played a bigger role with her powers

Especially with Lingering Will

Right? It's a shame

Cornball of the firetruckin century 😭😭😭

I think they just didn't know what to do post-kh2

“This is a warning” sure buddy
