Queen Tery 4,591 Posted November 8, 2012 Time-travel isn't amazing people only use it when they run out of ideas Eh, I would have to disagree with that. I write and I've used time travelling before as a late in the story plot device. But, just because I introduce it late doesn't mean I hadn't planned to introduce it right from the start. Sometimes writers want the viewer to be surprised or there isn't a good time beforehand to introduce it. Some writers may use it that way, but I wouldn't say that's the ONLY way its used. 2 Handsome_the_Wise and Xail reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DG20 67 Posted November 8, 2012 Yeah, you could beat him on the Islands, it just wasn't canon according to the end of KH2. Riku: "You know, I always figured I was better at stuff than you." Sora: "I kinda always thought you were better at everything too." And I think Sora is still 15. But yeah, Sora is supposed to be the main character so he needs more development that doesn't depend on his connections to other people. Problem is any character development that changes his personality, like for example cracking under the pressure of being the "key that connects everything" and folding under the weight of his destiny, would be completely out of character for him. Yep. I'm going to wait for an epic moment where Sora does something that defines him, not just saving people but proving he's an individual and not someone subconsciously taking on the traits of others. His heroic sacrifice in KH1 comes to mind but even that may not be "indivdual" enough since Ven sorta did the same thing... 1 "Photos"GIM? reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ajexmi 446 Posted November 10, 2012 (edited) Well I hate the way time travel was brought in DDD ..I understand it perfectly but find it cheesy and lazy writing .. loving how you claim to perfectly understand 'time travel'.... I am in awe! I've said it before, and I'll say it again, if you look at KH:3D as an introduction to KHIII (as it is a direct sequel) then Sq. Enix have just evened the character development out so Riku is just as much a key character as Sora. I think they may have even over done that with the whole 'you weren't chosen by the key blade' deal. I liked it, but I hope it doesn't lead to removing Sora as a ) a playable character b ) a key role in the story (what with the connections to Roxas, Ventus, Namine and Xion) Edited November 10, 2012 by Ajexmi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ajexmi 446 Posted November 11, 2012 Oh, Flaming Lea, if I offended you, or if what I posted looked like I was taking a dig at you, I apologise as I didn't mean it that way. Just the way I read it was amusing was all I meant (removing the context). Sorry man, be cool! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoraLover1994 5 Posted November 11, 2012 Yes, yes (Despite me being more so a Sora fan than a Riku), and UGH, YES. 1. The worlds did feel really rushed for me, except for Traverse Town and Symphony of Sorcery (The former because I was too busy enjoying the music, and the latter because I LOVED experiencing The World Ends With You again. http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/happy.png), and of course, The World That Never Was. 2. I wouldn't say Sora is "girly"... Just less badass in certain situations in comparison to Riku. But Sora has his badass moments too. 3. http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/sleep.png And here is where all of Kingdom Hearts became a mindf***. It basically tested the whole existence and the whole point of Sora's journey. I'm gonna be one of the biggest KH fans that says this: "The story-line didn't get more confusing... It just got to be more along the lines of a ten year long plan no fan expected to happen." 1 "Photos"GIM? reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AntonioKHT 449 Posted November 11, 2012 Yeah, i found the worlds had little storyline, and weren't that big. if you only play the game straight through story, not getting anything extra, it certainly is a small game. They could have made bigger plots, that was for me their biggest mistake... Riku was always badass. But since you got to play the game with them at the same time, you could notice more. Sora was more childish than in KH2 for some reason, he should have behaved the same, even though he looked younger because of Yen Sid's magic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
