Wow...havent been here in awhile.

 

But Ive been thinking about it lately and really, with all these other great characters (riku, axel, ect) what is it about sora that makes him a compelling character? I mean, dont get me wrong, i like sora, but sometimes i just wanna smack him over the head. He has a childish, naive ness to him that really makes me wonder some times: why is he our hero in this game?

 

I mean is it the fact that with all thats happened up til now in the games that he is able to stay optimistic and his willingness to never give up what makes us like him? I mean those are are great qualities but, he can be obnoxious sometimes. Like he doesnt feel the weight of the situation hes facing and what it means. I wish they would make him just a bit more serious in the games. Not completely serious all the time, i think that optimism amongst such serious and sometimes hopelessness is what helps make him compelling. But i wish every now and again they would show just a bit how what hes doing is affecting him. Show some human emotion that anyone would be feeling doing what hes doing. Some doubt, some fear, some seriousness. Because while his attitude now is ok, i must admit his optimism sometimes comes across as cocky and i dont think thats a good look on Sora. 

 

IDK what do u all think?

I know all that, but in 3D he says he knows it didn't and he doesn't care. I was looking at it from his perspective, not as an outside observer.

 

Fair enough .Sora just thinks that bc many people, like Xigbar, tell him those lies to screw with him and convince him it must be true . But really it's bc Sora is a threat  Xigbar tried sooo hard to troll but ran shitless when Sora didn't let his lies affect him .

 

Edit . I also think Xigbar said that bc Sora is the only one according to Nomura to never receive the ceremony like all the others before him.

He summoned a keyblade out of thin air.

Uhh , he's like what ....17 years old ? What do you expect ...

He is a compelling character because he isn't a whiny, boring, typical teenage character. 

In short,he isn't a Squall 

Uhh , he's like what ....17 years old ? What do you expect ...

he's 15 at this point in the series.

 

Squall was 17(if you can believe that by his look) and Squall was such a whiny emo brat
