    TT is a retcon bc it was written in at last moment and retconned the previous games villains goals. So it did change things.   As for Xehanort knowing, he said that in his eagerness he lost sight of

    Which explanation are you referring to?  Regardless, one of the series biggest problems is a lot of the explanations to major plot points are given in interviews instead of being given in game like it

    Thing is, everything has been set up to bring her back whether you like her or not.. DDD really brings this home.

Well the keyblade has always been and will be valuable... After all the only 'true' keyblade is the X-Blade since all other keyblades were manmade in the X-Blade's image excluding the Kingdom Keys.After the Keyblade War, basically the keyblades and their wielders went mostly extinct and then it wasn't until BBS when more keyblade wielders started coming back. But obviously it wasn't until Sora in KH1 and 2 when apparently everyone started getting keyblades. But Sora's keyblade is still very special since we could assume that keyblade wasn't manmade and is actually a 'true' keyblade and/or half of the X-Blade with Kingdom Key D being the other half.But back to the topic and what you said, I do understand your feeling of the decreasing value of the keyblades. Me, to be honest I don't mind all the keyblades now. The only person I thought was weird to get a keyblade was Axel/Lea.

 

 

 

Also Lea has got quite a backstory and transformation to back this up. We see him evolve for the better with our own eyes throughout the series. With his current goals to save his friends and help stop Xehanort the keyblade is a better more useful option. Plus I bet he can still switch off with his chackrams.

 

I want to say that how keyblades have been treated so far in the series is anyone incredibly important into anyone who is relevant has to have a keyblade. Which now seals the fate of everyone else who has been a supportive role. 

Sora's keyblade isn't special but Keyblades so far have been this mysterious conscious weapon that chooses its master. And yet, they are limited by how created by man, how they are just an image of the X-blade. the keyblade choosing Sora is suppose to be special, and as much as the story tries to push it that he is just an ordinary person and that he is special, there's a lot more convincing us that's not the case.

 

Another problem i find that the series now relies on multiple keyblade wielders. It starts to be less and less about Sora's story and how he's unique. Axel could've been useful being a supportive role. but the idea of how X-blade made up of 13 darkness and 7 lights (and these can be interchangeable). The story is forcing every intersting character to devolve into having keyblades. Saix will wield a keyblade just like the others. Back then the story didn't rely on enemies having keyblades.

Kryblade Transformation dude! :DI still think the Kingdom Key is a big deal. I also think Sora is more special than most weilders since he has shown tremendous strength of heart. And also I think Sora will become the Wayfarer of light. Riku, the Wayfarer of dark. Terra, Wayfarer of earth. Aqua, Wayfarer of water. Ventus, Wayfarer of wind. Lea, Wayfarer of fire. I might be missing a Wayfarer and I could be wrong but I also think it would be cool, in my opinion. Aqua granted Kairi the power to weild. Just to get that out of the way guys. As for Lea. Idk. But I'm cool with it. I like him. I think he is worthy. I mean if you're worthy you get a kryblade right? I don't understand why people are upset with BBS. It explained so much for me lol. I liked it. Overall. I have one word to solve all your problems. Magic. It's all magic. And magic doesn't make any sense. You just get mana and then shoot fireballs, make fake replicas, and summon keyblades. LolMagic = hacks

We already knew Aqua gave her the ceremony. We were talking about where and how Riku got her keyblade and just handed it to her .

in regards to xehanort saying that he knew the true way to recreate the x-blade all along, it's not that hard to believe that he is lying to protect his own ego. The guy thinks he is a god's answer to the world, it's not unlikely for him to lie. If you were put into a situation where you had all this stuff planned out came up short and found the true answer later on, tell me you wouldn't true to defend your ego. If the guy can essentially lie about being another person, lie to Terra for an entirety of a game, lie to the man he could once call best friend, why wouldn't he lie to his enemies, unlike those other times it doesn't serve a purpose in his overall plan, but it still grants precedent to the fact that he lies... A lot. And since finding these reports are somewhat canon, what's stopping xehanort from releasing false information so that the heroes are forced to take those reports as xehanort's true goal leading them right where he wants them.

I don't question this stuff at all.  Takes all the fun out of it.

This whole thread has sooooo many quotes lmfao. I dont question the plot all like that. By now people should know the KH story is very convoluted and deep. 

DDD turning MX into a time-traveling Aizen, making all the heroes and other villains his b****es, and committing homicide on all our nostalgia and senses of accomplishment.

Convoluted yes. Deep? At this point. no

how it is not deep?

The series relies on plot twists and things that unexplainable, or when they are explained it barely makes any sense. Each game after kh2 relied on plot-twists. Xion being a replica, Vanitas having Sora's face and the X-blade, and Master Xehanort time traveling. all designed not to expand the story, but just to throw us off.

well, hopefully all of that will get explained in kh3.

Its not whether it gets explained or not, its the fact that it does it on purpose. The series isn't trying to be deep anymore.

I don't really care if the series isn't trying to be "deep" anymore. I never even noticed it was that way. I think the series has a good storyline nevertheless.

You just asked why is it not deep. thats what i'm explaining.

 

And i beg to differ. XIon inclusion was stupid. the idea of Vanitas was unnecessary. And the fact that time travel was in no way a good way to expand the story. it was an excuse and it wasn't even important in the end. 

 

if you knwo what good writing was, you would know Kingdom hearts has had some of the dumbest writing ever.

so you're trying to tell me that kingdom hearts has a "bad" storyline? I don't agree with that! I grew up with the kh series because of it's gameplay AND story! what you said was all based on YOUR opinion!

I "didn't" grow up with kingdom hearts, i was at the right age of knowing what good writing was by the time Kingdom Hearts 2 came out. 

 

What you're saying is also opinion, but even worst. You're even including how you are bias by saying you grew up with is. I didn't. I however followed the series and played each game extensively. Kingdom Heart series also relies on mystery more than anything else. You can't possibly tell me its good after what we've seen so far in the series. It had broken some of the more serious sins that writing has. 

 

Take it from someone who actually studies writing and played Kingdom Hearts at an age where the nostalgia and all that didn't cloud me from knowing what is good or not. And just because you enjoy a series does not mean a series has good writing. thats just you trying to defend your sense of taste and quality.

Well, in my opinion it is good

Tell me how time travel was such a good idea?

Tell me how time travel was such a good idea?

it just adds to the storyline and the theories make it even more interesting in my opinion.

Hey guys let's not take this argument too far. You are both entitled to like or dislike the writing and both would have valid reasoning since it's also a matter of opinion.

it just adds to the storyline and the theories make it even more interesting in my opinion. 

Ok...you see, at this point you must see the seriousness of your comment. Does your comment confirm what is good or not? No...its only confirming that the kingdom hearts series is feeding you that want to make theories. Theories are great....but the series shouldn't have to constantly make up theories. (For the record, there's no theory producing with time-travel, its just a bad aspect). I would highly recommend learn what makes a good story. YOu might be surprised how bad the series has fallen.BUT FOR THE SAKE OF STAYING ON TOPIC:Kingdom hearts plot holes: 1) Organization 13. their goals were practically useless in chain of memories and kh2. Their goal was to create Kingdom Hearts made up of people's hearts so that they could gain hearts. But suddenly Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance claims that they are there because they already had hearts within them and were designed to make the 13 seekers of darkness.2) The fact that in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days, the game suggests that the second keyblade is in fact Xion herself. When in reality, the keyblade is Ventus's (confirmed by the story).3) The keyblades were originally sentient and had conscience, but now dumbed down to the Mark of Mastery made by MAsters only to give them the classification of Masters, and if one merely "touches" the keyblade that belongs to a master that passes down.4)Nothing suggesting Axel/Lea was a keyblade wielder or even that he earned one, or that he even wanted a keyblade. IN fact everything pointed out that he preferred his own weapon, and yet suddenly he has one just out of curiosity.

thanks, but not thanks. I'm just going to use my opinion to judge whether or not the story in the kh series is good or not. I see what you're trying to say though, like I said before, if kh3 answers all of the questions that we fans have (which I kinda doubt for some strange reason), the convolutedness of the series should start to loosen up; therefore making it easier to understand.

The definition of Convoluted is complex and difficult to follow. So if we get more answers, it doesn't change the fact that at this point its already convoluted. there's no turning back on what was already placed. 

 

@Flaming_Lea

 

that explaination nomura gave just seals the fact that the series has gone to convoluted and plot holes and has to try so hard to explain bigger problems.
