me too, i wish he actually got to explore RoD

[Vexoria 9]

Nah Riku was straight up doubting himself. DDD was the full redemption

Like even in KH2 Riku still doubted himself severely. Like he was beating himself up over it for the longest time.

[King Arthur13 50]

riku was doubting if he was a good person still, even after what he did. He was wondering if the good hes been doing has actually redeemed him

[Vexoria 9]

It's a not a true redemption until you forgive yourself and accept it

[King Arthur13 50]

by the end of kh2 hes kind of confident in the fact his friends have forgave him

but yeah i agree DDD has him forgive himself in a way that still feels original

[Vexoria 9]

KH2 was redemption in forgiveness from friends. But Riku never forgave himself for it until DDD

[King Arthur13 50]

i think i still liked riku even from chain of memories after he chose to do better by his friends and protect sora as he slept

[Vexoria 9]

That was probably the best you got out of Riku in CoM. Not gonna lie but the whole smelling darkness stuff was dumb

[King Arthur13 50]

smelling darkness. yeah that was, weird he could taste it in the original

[Vexoria 9]

Riku moreso uses any control he has of the darkness for good

That's even worse

I think they should have stayed away from weird sense for darkness.

[King Arthur13 50]

on the gba is like "i could taste your darkness from a mile away"

no, just no

[Vexoria 9]

Oh Lord. I never made it through GBA CoM

Mostly cause someone borrowed it and never gave it back

[King Arthur13 50]

honestly some of the deaths are darker in the gba version

like lexeaus instead of just being killed by riku, blows himelf up in an effort to consume riku in darkness

there are some distinct differences in how characters dissapear

as well as other things related to the organization

[King Arthur13 50]

[King Arthur13 50]

remember how in chain of memories aerith has a one on one with sora about not being real and then she dissapears and he forgot about them

oh yeah theres axels "commit it to memory" instead of saying "got it memorized"

oh right the organization never brings up the fact that they dont have hearts in chain of memories

only every mentioning "unlocking the secrets of the heart"

[King Arthur13 50]

thats right it does, makes me think they werent sure about what they would do with the concept

so the kept it ambiguous

thats right it does, makes me think they werent sure about what they would do with the concept

so they ignored it for the most part in CoM

i still find it interesting that we got our first glimpse of twilight town through chain of memories of all games

[Marluxia#4918 9]

It makes sense that we did

Since Sora had become heartless by then

[King Arthur13 50]

it does but its pretty odd to think of gba twilight town

[Marluxia#4918 9]

It's just weird that he has the memories of it though

Like I understand roxas is his nobody

But sora didnt recomplete like other nobodies

So technically theres no reason for him to have those memories other than Namine artificially placing them there simply because of Roxas. But did roxas have such a close connection to TT by then?

[King Arthur13 50]

also the song that plays in gba twilight town for its battle theme and town theme is lazy afternoons

[Marluxia#4918 9]

Other than it being the world he was born in. That's reason enough I guess.

I kind of wish the Castle Oblivion battle theme got a remix

[King Arthur13 50]

oh yeah thats right axel says hell in chain of memories

"Its about time you gave me one hell of a show"
