Since we've been introduced to three Keyblade wielders with armor, shouldn't Sora get Keyblade armor as well?

 

I mean, when going deep inside Sora is never wearing any protection so who knows what could happen. His essence could be corrupted, although maybe Sora just likes how it feels without wearing any protection.

 

But with no protection realistically Sora could be penetrated at any time, right? Which is why I think they should give it to him.

 

What do you think?

eh.

I think The keyblade armor is what made BBS more unique. It would be cool to have it for Sora as well but I'd prefer they give him something different, if anything, instead.

Pretty much this.  If they did give him armor than he wouldn't be as unique as he used to be in the first game, but since they gave everyone a keyblade why not give everyone keyblade armour?

You make some good points. He should wear something like this:

Not this again. No. It will lose its originality.

You mean like how the Keyblade lost its originality after seeing the millions of Keyblades at Keyblade Graveyard? 

 

The armor comes with the Keyblade, I don't see how it's a bad thing to make it more common. You don't have Power Rangers with morphers but no armor.

To me that's kinda it. When the keyblades were more rare they seemed more special. If everyone gets armor it won't be special.

An alternative I think would work is if Sora got his own thing similar to the armor but not the armor. Just my opinion on it.

But then tell me how does it make sense for millions of Keyblade wielders being in existance, and only a handful of them have armor? What's so special about Terra, Ventus, and Aqua? Ventus and Terra weren't even masters, yet they still had the armor.

 

There's nothing special about the armor in the KH universe, they're only special in our minds because we only saw them in one game.

That's why it's special. So many keybladers yet only a few with armor. As for Terra, Aqua and Ventus they were trained by Eraqus who had armor so I guess that could be special. And I believe the armor is special in kh since not everyone has it and only a select few. We've only really seen 5, technically 6 people with the armor so it isn't common.

The armor I see more as a generational and "clan specific" thing. The only ones that used armor where, for a better lack of a term, the "Land of Departure Clan" and have probably been using it for a very long time. Mickey never used armor, Yen Sid Probably didn't, and MX ditched his when he wasn't a student at LoD anymore so Vanitas also doesn't use it. They're also obsolete at this point as the armor's primary function was the protect the wearer from darkness and travel through space but special coats, gumi ships, and more common use of the CoD makes them pointless. The only thing left they offer is protection from physical harm that's not much of a factor either. Basically, it's not strictly needed anymore.

 

Although I do prefer that the armor (and gliders) stay exclusive to TAV (and ME) if only because it's signature to them. Let them have their "thing".

I just think it's stupid that those three get to have armor, but Sora, the main protagonist, THE CHOSEN ONE, does not. This could be his next step towards becoming one with the Keyblade.

Or maybe he could get something specific to him since he's the main character. I personallly think that'd be a good addition.

I don't think sora should get his own armor but he'll get something different in the future

Sora has magic clothing no else has that are way more functional than the armor. Again, the armor at this point is obsolete. To my memory it's never mentioned any where that the armor has anything to do with the Keyblade, Keyblade wielders just happen to use them. If it let the wielder sync with the Keyblade in a special way more wielders would use them and Yen Sid probably would have provided Riku and Sora with them since they where "resetting" their skills.  

To my knowledge Sora's "magic" clothing does not shield him from the Corridors of Darkness. The only means of protection against those are the armor or the Organization coat.

 

So I don't see them as completely pointless because Sora failed to finish Organization members off several times because they escaped through the Corridors of Darkness where he couldn't follow them.

His clothing is "upgradable". What ever properties that are imbued into the coats and armor probably don't have anything to do with the material as it's implied that MX invented the coats. His clothing could probably be imbued with the same kind of power.

 

Aqua also failed to finish off Vanitas when he escaped through a CoD and she also has armor. Which she doesn't use unless she's in space or towards the end of the game. Sora failing to finish off the escaping Org. members was more of a matter of them being too quick or him choosing not to follow. In fact, I think Sora came up with a plan at one point to try and jump into a CoD in hopes it would them to the Orgs. HQ but he wasn't fast enough.        

Sora's saved the universe twice with no armor.

 

The cast of BBS couldn't save the world once with armor.

 

Sora is a champ, and needs no further devices.

You're right they should probably just take KHII, add some new worlds, and leave everything else the same. That would make for a fun original new installment.

Sora saved the worlds twice without armor.  He's already explicitly stated to be special in a way others are not, even when they're keyblade masters with cool armor.

Calm your tits down.  You think the next installment will be boring just because Sora doesn't get armor?  Each title has already added something unique, perhaps not always in good ways, but they've always shook things up somehow.

I never said that, I just think Sora getting armor would be appropriate. 

 

And when you think about it, we never actually played an armored Keyblade wielder. The only times we controlled them in armor was for some small fights with Unversed while on the way to another world.

Why is him getting armor appropriate?  He's already proved he doesn't need it to kick ass.  Mickey is a keyblade master and he doesn't use it, so it's not a requirement for all keyblade wielders.  I'm with Ruran, let the Land of Departure crew have their thing.  With Sora already being special as he is, the characters need something unique to them.  And TAV wore their armor during their final battles at the Keyblade Graveyard, for all the good it did in the end.

Did Terra, Ventus, and Aqua need their armor 9/10 of the times? Did they not fight the majority of bosses without their armor? Yes they did, but they still had it.

 

Sora hasn't needed the armor up until now, but don't you think he's going to face more powerful enemies? How is he going to defeat those, with the power of love and friendship? They need to crank up the dangerous meter on the bosses, and for Sora to beat them they need to give him SOME kind of power up. Why not the armor? It makes more sense then another random power-up being pulled out of Square Enix's ass, what did you have in mind? A rainbow hat that changes colors and can shoot lasers?

TAV having armor isn't enough proof Sora needs it.  Defeating them with the power of love and friendship?  Um... actually, yes, that is exactly what's going to happen.  Strong ties to people is what gives the keyblade power, so yes, the Power of Friendship is what Sora will use.  The keyblade is just something that helps him enact it.  The series ultimately revolves around hearts and the keyblade, and things like armor are nothing more than add-ons.  Quote him, "I don't need a weapon.  My friends are my power!"  Cheesy?  Yes, but that's one of KH's central themes.  If you don't like it, pick a more cynical franchise.  Raw power only gets you so far in this series.  If Sora needs an upgrade, it doesn't necessarily have to be armor.  And yeesh, didn't I tell you to calm your tits down?  You're not really helping your arguments.

If TAV didn't use armor most of the time doesn't that prove that they're kind of... unnecessary? They're more useful as space suits then actual "armor".

 

But love and friendship is his infallible cheat code, that's how he always wins! D: 

If Sora needs a power up armor will do no good since it doesn't really do anything special besides repel darkness and compress into a button for convenience. Again, again, Sora's magic clothing is more sufficient as it allows him drive forms. He can wreck shit in limit form because it's border line God Mode. The armor hasn't been shown to grant any special abilities so why not just let him keep using what he has now? And a rainbow hat that changes colors and shoots lasers sounds AWESOME!

That works in story, but don't you see that these games need to raise the bar to remain interesting? If we take your words as a guideline, why did they bother ever giving him new clothes or drive forms, if all he needs is friendship oh and a keyblade for convenience? The truth is Sora can't do sh*t without his Keyblade, which he has because he claims he can. So back to the topic, why did they give him the drive forms? To keep things INTERESTING. How boring would it have been to have the exact same abilities as in KH1? They need to bring something new to the table. And I don't know what your deal is, but I don't swing that way.

Oh, so you're pretending the easy-mode presented in KHII was a good thing. Why not just remove all challenge altogether and make it a button-basher? With KHIII they're really going to have to raise the bar, because I doubt people will accept a second steamroll.
