Did anyone noticed this?

 

I have been thinking a lot about this and I think I found one of the "reasons" for Kingdom Hearts 3D.

 

Nomura wanted to show Riku's importance in the series.

 

I mean Riku's is a "Light Warrior" of the Keyblade now but I didn't feel that in Kingdom Hearts II too much. In 3D, Nomura made Riku a playable caracter (which is super cool) and "gave" him the Final Boss in the game. Also, Sora barely made important battles, I mean, he only only fought Xemnas than he slept because of his hearts "corruption" from darkness. Riku battled Young Master Xehanort, and a pack of bosses in the World That Never Was plus the corrupted armor of Ventus.

 

(And Riku freed Sora from darkness, never thought this could happen!)

 

Do you guys agree? Please give me your opinion!

I guess and before the revealing of 3D, Riku had the Dream Eater Spirit Emblem on his back, yet another important hint, wouldn't you agree?

Riku didn't fight the corrupted armor of Ven, he fought a corrupted Sora in Ven's armor.

Technically then yes, Azure is right.

That might be part of it. Riku hasn't been experienced too much in the series up to this point.

Yuppity yup

Riku and Sora technically started fresh on this one. So they basically began on par again, so Riku didn't really have to catch up. Just learn how to wield correctly.

I mean we haven't played as him in story mode very much.

This is... a given.

Ven's armor was corrupted by a Nightamre, so it doesn't make too much of a difference. And I did mentioned before Sora heart was corrupted...

I'm happy that it seems like Nomura's giving Riku more attention now.

That's a good point, and the emblem carries a heavy amount of symbolism Perhaps it means restoration or redemption

Yes, I think so too. Riku is playing a major role in the series now, so I guess it was for the best...
