Posted February 25, 201510 yr What is your overall favorite KH character that has played a sort of leading role at least once? Sora will always be my favorite, but all KH characters are good.
February 25, 201510 yr I'm really tempted to go with Data Sora But I think I'll stick with the original. But I REALLY like Data Sora's characterization...
February 25, 201510 yr Well, Sora, duh. He's our main bro, the guy who we started this whole wacky ass adventure with 13 years ago, the key that connects everything. He's the heart (hurr durr) of the whole series. (Though to be honest, I almost voted for Data Sora just for the fact you had the balls to put him on the list.)

Hey don't knock Data Sora, in a lot of ways he's a vastly superior character to canon Sora, the problem is just that he only gets ones game in the spotlight Master Eraqus. no a protagonist
February 25, 201510 yr Hey don't knock Data Sora, in a lot of ways he's a vastly superior character to canon Sora, the problem is just that he only gets ones game in the spotlight no a protagonist He is to me!
February 25, 201510 yr Hey don't knock Data Sora, in a lot of ways he's a vastly superior character to canon Sora, the problem is just that he only gets ones game in the spotlight Oh, I'm not trying to diss Data Sora at all, I legitimately like him a lot and you're right, his characterization is great (plus his Keyblade is by far the coolest one in the series so far). Thing is, he's largely irrelevant to the rest of the series, and the fact that he can be casually deleted and then rebooted kind of undermines any importance he might have had. Who cares what happens to him, we can always make another one, y'know?
February 25, 201510 yr Author Aqua for reasons. (Not ones involving boobs, you perverts.) (Scratches head)

Who cares what happens to him, we can always make another one, y'know? Consider how important data is to KH I don't have much doubt we'll see Data Sora again in some shape or form in KH3. And you should know better than to go down the "we can just make another" route in a series like KH. They'd definitely make the argument that EACH UND EVERY SORA IS IT SOWN UNIQUE FLOWER And I'd agree with them. After all, it's not how you start that defines who you are, it's the events that shape you. That's why evne though Data Sora started off in the same circumstances as regular Sora his personality evolved in a different way. Oh and uh hearts that resonate with the memories of the light between worlds of darkness or something

February 25, 201510 yr You need real Sora for Data Sora to have ever been created though. Really you don't. Data Sora is just based on what Jiminy wrote in his journal. It could be complete fiction and have the same effect.
February 25, 201510 yr Author Really you don't. Data Sora is just based on what Jiminy wrote in his journal. It could be complete fiction and have the same effect. Jiminy would not have thought of the exact same person without Sora's influence...

Oh and uh hearts that resonate with the memories of the light between worlds of darkness or something Hey, I'm not the one that went down the "we can just make another" route, the writers of Re:Coded were when they, you know, just made another after the first one got deleted. And wouldn't you know, he's got all the same abilities and stats as the last one! It's literally copy/paste. Plus, Data Sora didn't really evolve in a different way than Sora; he's basically the exact same guy, just in different circumstances. Or do you think the real Sora would really act all that much differently than Data Sora did? Also no, no version of Sora is unique in any way, remember? He's just SO AVERAGE.

It's not a copy paste, it's a reboot. Data Sora doesn't get deleted, he loses his memories, it's just the digital equivalent of Namine's powers Data Sora and Sora are similar, but not the same. Data Sora is a lot more proactive, and while he isn't any smarter than Sora, he doesn't spend as much time pausing to repeat what other people say Ultimately I think it was a writer thing, not a conscious choice in terms of character development, but hey are different enough characters that had they been given a different design and voice actor I don't think people would immediately assume it was Sora.

Ummm yes he is...
February 25, 201510 yr My husbando is Roxas, of course. Edited February 25, 201510 yr by SkyKeybladeHero
February 25, 201510 yr As much as I also love playing as Ventus,Roxas wins because I mean he has two keyblades for crying out loud.
March 12, 201510 yr Roxas, definitely the most well written character in the series. A boy who essentially has nothing to himself, his body belongs to sora, his heart, presumably, belongs to Ven, yet he trudges on, though he doesn't know these facts regarding himself, he can still feel this emptiness deep down inside telling him his existence is just awkward and he wants to know why. Yet the one thing he can call his own, his memories and bonds, he has to give them all up for the greater good of the world. Tragic character 101 right here. Not too mention he would wreck any keyblade wielder preBBS...without assistance from outside forces (looking at you Riku/ansem)
March 13, 201510 yr In terms of character arc, Roxas and Riku and beautifully imperfect, and their development is one of the shining bits of this nonsensical story. Aqua is my favorite though. I also like how proactive Data Sora is compared to normal Sora.
What is your overall favorite KH character that has played a sort of leading role at least once?
Sora will always be my favorite, but all KH characters are good.
