Posted July 10, 201411 yr Although Riku isn't my favorite characters, I still like him. However do you think the game would have been well received if HE was the star and NOT Sora? What do you Think? Why? Why not?
July 10, 201411 yr Popular Post Riku is my favorite. But he is much cooler as the side guy. I don't think it would have been as good if Sora weren't the main character. He brings the sillyness that is needed.
July 10, 201411 yr If you're implying that Riku and Sora switch roles, then I don't think it would suit. Riku has that dark vibe to him while Sora is just nearly all light. I can't really imagine it if the roles were swapped. But if Riku were to still undergo that internal clash with the darkness, I think it would still be a fair story. Riku was the intended wielder of the Kingdom Key, after all. Peace!
July 10, 201411 yr It would fit more to have master Riku as the protector of Sora and as a side main character, but I still would wonder how would he react with Donald and Goofy...
July 10, 201411 yr I think it'd be less popular, but still enough to keep going. Sora fits better with the Disney vibe.
July 10, 201411 yr Corrupted-by-Darkness Sora sounds really appealing to me. But I think Sora fits better as the main character.
July 10, 201411 yr I don't think most of the themes of the first game would work nearly as well with Riku as the main character of the series.
July 10, 201411 yr Did you know, this was the original preface for Kingdom Hearts? It was meant to be Kairi, Riku and Mickey going to save Sora?
July 10, 201411 yr You have no idea how many times I've thought of this! It certainly would be different.
July 10, 201411 yr Riku actually has a personality, so wouldn't be a good main protagonist. Nomura stated that Sora's appeal as a protagonist is because he's an average kid who gamers can relate to easily, but Riku is too awesome and good at everything to be that relatable.
July 11, 201411 yr It would be "DARKER" and "EDGIER"... Except it wouldn't really be that different at all. I dunno. Maybe a few things would be different. Like maybe giving Sora a few more bad traits so he could be a bad guy (Kinda) in the first game, and maybe changing a few things about Riku: But overall it would still be similar.
July 11, 201411 yr it would be....pretty cool like terras story but sora is just too cool but theyd probably change sora's likeness to be similar to venitus
July 31, 201411 yr Although Riku isn't my favorite characters, I still like him. However do you think the game would have been well received if HE was the star and NOT Sora? What do you Think? Why? Why not? If it wasn't for the Darkness inside his heart, he would have gained the Keyblade instead of Sora. I think Riku wouldn't have been an as good main character of the series as Sora. Why? I don't know, I can't imagine Kingdom Hearts without Sora.
July 31, 201411 yr I don't think so. Though I do think Riku could hold a game on his own, just not be the main character of the entire series
July 31, 201411 yr The game would be darker probably. Plus I don't know why but I have a hard time picturing Riku traveling with Donald and goofy and Sora being the bad guy! Plus could you imagine how his nobody would look?
August 1, 201411 yr Hmm, it'd be okay, I guess...I love Riku with a burning Passion but...Main Character of the ENTIRE series? I don't think so. However, I wouldn't mind seeing Sora being a Darkness User...
