Should future Kingdom Hearts games have a different protagonist to replace Sora.

Posted

Although Sora was confirmed to be the main hero of the franchise, but we really want Sora to remain the main character? I'm fine with him being that. But, what if Sora was a old man in Kingdom Hearts 5? Or 7? As games pass, so does Sora age.  Do we really want to play old man Sora? We need to have a different protagonist to replace Sora once he's old. Just like in the Fire Emblem series. (Sorta.)

Sora will always be the main protagonist until Noruma says otherwise. 

Personally, I would rather the series switch to a focus on Aqua, Riku, or Terra.  Sora is a great character, but his constant upbeat personality is more fitting of a supporting character; a main character should be someone you can feel something for.  I think that is why BBS is a lot of peoples favorite game, because all the characters you played as had issues that helped you develop a connection with them.  I have no complaints about Sora remaining the protagonist, I just would prefer someone else.

Go ahead and hate but I think we should get a new protagonist. Nomura said we'd keep him as the franchise hero, but he may have been lying to prevent spoiling something big in KH3, like some big melodramatic sacrifice near the end of the game. Sora's a'ight, but he's grown a lot and he will keep growing, and KH doesn't seem to use "Pokemon Logic" for aging, unless you're in a comatose or trapped in heartless hell. He's already been developed enough to the point of where they're making him seem stupider and much more oblivious than before to try and give him character development he should have already gained through the past couple of games. Example: Sora in KH3D is like a dense idiot compared to Sora in KH2. After KH3 or the next few games, I think someone new should get the spotlight. Someone younger, since Sora will have aged a little more by then and almost be an adult. That's not to say he can't still get some games and roles in the story, though. I just REALLY hope they don't do some awful retcon near the end of KH3 to make him look/be young again.

...I want an old man Sora game now. Thanks!  >:(

As much as I love Sora, I kinda wish they'd make a game based on a villian instead of a hero. ( And to be clear, not a member of organization XIII or any current villain we've encountered so far. ) Similar in fashion to 358/2 days, it would feature the heroes as the "villains" who try to stop the main dark protagonist, and would have absolutley nothing to do with Xehanort, whose name would not even be mentioned in the game at all. I think it would be a nice twist for the series. "A villain who walks the reluctant path of a keyblade wielder, submursed in darkness but strangely drawn to the light."

You realize that he's still only 15 in KH3 right? It takes place immediately after 3D, which takes place immediately after coded which takes place immediately after KHII. Keep doing that and Sora can stay 15 forever. Besides I have a feeling they'd end KH before Sora became an old man.

To be honest, it wouldn't be the same... I would be sad to see him go, as, for one, he's my favorite character. That, and I feel like he's just the icon of Kingdom Hearts.

To me, that's like watching some kind of series that I love all the way to the end, and then having to start fresh with a new one when I had gotten so attached to the characters already. :(

What  about Donald ? He could be a great protagonist ! 

 

I honestly don't think that Nomura has someone else in mind , though . Sora could be the main protagonist for a significant amount of years to come . Don't forget , he's still 15-16 .

I think a new character would be fun just so long they don't make him an emo crybaby with issues.

This post is so win!

Apply Link logic to this:

Descendants repeating the story over and over, all looking exactly the same

As much as I'd rather keep sticking with the same character, I could actually see that working. Provided that reincarnation is to become an actual part of the series that is.

Kingdom Hearts 4 Keyblades of the Patriots 

KH4 should keep Sora as hero...but maybe give us a BBS style of gameplay. Give us a choice as to who to play as. Maybe...Sora's son?  :wink:
