Srsly, he is. To me, anyways. I was playing KH1 (PS2 version. is this still in the wrong board?) and I got to the part where Riku is found in Traverse Town and I was so happy to see him and he and Sora talk and then Sora ask's him if he can join the party...

 

And then Donald is like "NO! NO HE CAN'T COME"

 

Eventually, Riku leaves. And I felt like freakin' crying.

 

I STILL feel like crying. I was so upset...

 

I'm NEVER forgiving that duck. Everytime i have to choose between a party member, i'm keeping goofy on the team.....Donald pushed away my little sweetie and made him heart broken!!!

 

 

....

Even if Riku still ends up a really cool guy in the end, after all the darkness and all. It still makes me feel kinda bitter...

 

I had to rant a bit...It was hard to continue playing after that part....

 

And seeing Riku walk off so oviously feeling...not needed.....

True, Donald has a very harsh temper and can be pretty selfish. In my first play through via the PS2 version he had some lines that displeased me as well but that's the trademark of his character for as long as he has existed which far predates the existence of KH. 

 

Ironically I too always swap Donald for the party member native to a given world but not because I dislike him. Goofy had just proven to be the better fighter. In Agrabah I noticed for the first time how badass he is with that tornado spin! My Donald took hits and KOed quite easily. Though near the climax of my game he did become stronger. 

Though in my first playthrough it was actually Donald I always kept for his healing ability though. In Atlantica especially this is somewhat stupid logic since Ariel can also heal. Donald's healing did come in great handy this time around as well however as I'd developed a tactic this time around of basically using the cure/cura spell as much as possible and Donald had on several occasions beaten me to it! It's kind of cheap but it's been working awesomely. 

 

Interesting turning point though which begs what would have happened had Donald been willing to welcome Riku? Would we have had to battle him the twice in Hallow Bastian?

Donald is a douchebag.

Donald did it on purpose. He's working for Xehanort!

I feel like he wasn't trying to be a jerk. He was just trying to stay focused on the mission.
