If you're f2p, the avatar boards are a better investment then the Epic Carnivals. The rng is too bad. You really got to read the fine print and see what the guaranteed pulls are.

Xemnas: Now Dusks our sales are down this month- *Sora crashes through the window* *Dusks panic* Dusk:You said this was a safe work environment. *Jumps out the window* Xemnas:*sighs* I'm going have to send his wife a gift basket.

Honestly it's not worth it to dump a bunch of money. I usually get the discount 3000 pack during epic carnivals. That way I get a least two shots to get good medals. But other then that it's not worth it. Especially because quest medals are included in the pool of premium medals.

Well since I have tommorow off, might as well do my character studies for the Pirates of the Caribbean series!

"Hanshin" would be the correct word for demi-god or half god,in Japanese right?

Nope....

I at least managed to snag Piglet, the two stage boosters are a necessity at this point in the game.

"It's a trap!"

You can't I tried lol.

Alright, I'll give you guys this one lol.

Disney is half of the game yes, but the Disney characters obey their own rules. This is something that's even addressed in game. Characters like Mickey, Pete, and Malificent follow the same lore as the KH original characters because their Disney stories are finished and they have joined w the main cast. They've become more part of the KH part of the story, then the Disney part of the story. As for why show it? Basic plot and character development. Axel's sacrifice was to show how much he had developed from being a "Heartless Nobody". That development now carries over to Lea. Xion's death(which was otherwise pointless) was used to further Roxas' development as a character, which still carries to Roxas. Maleficent's revival was used to add to the Organization's plot to create Kingdom Hearts. I really can go on about how each "death" and revival served some sort of purpose.

Because they do lol. Fans want death for the sake of death, it's senseless and quite frankly disturbing. When people want death because they have been "Deprived of it", that seems senseless to me. All the Disney characters that have died, died in their respective films. Those characters are free game. KH original characters obey the lore the franchise has laid out, which is completely different from Disney lore. As for KH original characters, again I will point out only Riku-Replica's death had any sense of finality. Every other death had lingering ties, that were used to revive those characters. All those character's revivals made sense in the context of the lore.

Kingdom Hearts' handling of time travel is bad writing. Kingdom Hearts' handling of death is not. It's one of the few elements of the series that is actually consistent. People don't love Kingdom Hearts because it's fun to see things happen. That is a ridiculous notion. People love Kingdom Hearts because they're invested in the story and it's characters. Even with it's flaws, people still come back to the series. This entire forum is built on that devotion. You can't even argue that point.

Dragon Ball is one of the most beloved anime's of all time. Flaws and all people still very much enjoy, and hardly have lost all respect for it.

How many characters, have actually died? In deaths that had any note finality. Only Riku-Replica had such a fate. Xion's death was literally mooted in the mission after she died. Directly after having her physical body destroyed,she was still able to maintain a presence. She even directly states, though she is gone, she is not truly gone. Namine and Roxas didn't die, their physical existences rejoined with their original selves. But they still had the ability to maintain a presence. The Nobodies`all were always labeled as incomplete existences. Re-completion was inevitable, when it was implied even in Kingdom Hearts 2, that they had hearts. Also, how can you possibly say that Namine and Roxas' endings in KH2 were happy and satisfying. They were told that they were no longer allowed to exist, and were forced to merge with their original selves. Roxas' whole story arc revolved around the fact that he viewed himself as his own being, and didn't want to join back with Sora. If anything it just seemed like Roxas and Namine had accepted that this was the way things were, and they took comfort in the fact that at least they would be able to see each other.

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times Kingdom Hearts fans have serious death fetish. It's pretty scary actually lol. Death does equate good story. It is not a necessary element needed to create drama or add layers of depth to a story. Quite frankly, too much death can actually take away from a story. It essentially turns into the same redundancy as not enough death. If characters are constantly dying, people get desensitized to it, and it still ends up meaningless. Plus, how invested are you really going to get into the characters of any series, if you know that people get killed off right and left. Having tons of death for the sake of a mature tone is juvenile and bad writing. If you really want to get technical about it, there is only one KH original character who went through anything remotely close to the finality of death. That character was Riku-Replica. All the other characters were alternative forms of existence, and none of them were human. All of them had ties to their previous existence as humans. So could they ever really "die"? The Nobody/ Heartless revival mechanism is actually pretty sound. It's one of the few retcons of Nomura's, that makes sense and fits into canon. Both of those existences, especially Nobodies, were always portrayed as incomplete. Basic logic would suggest that those existences had the ability of being restored as a whole. Especially because we see that it's possible with Sora/Roxas and Kairi/Namine. On the topic of Roxas and Namine, neither of them "died". Nor can what they went through ever be construed as death.They were simply reunited with their other halves, as the laws of their type of existence constituted. But they, themselves still exist. Why? Because while they walked around in their borrowed shells, they grew their own hearts and created identities of their own. Roxas' physical existence might have belonged to Sora, but he created his own existence, completely separate from Sora. Hence why he still has a presence within Sora, despite "dying". Namine and Xion are no different. Don't even get me started on Xion. I don't get how people can say that Xion's "death" would be less meaningful if she was revived. Xion's death is made virtually inconsequential by the end of the game, due to the fact that everybody forgets she existed in the first place. Hell, if Xion was excluded from revival, her entire existence would be meaningless. All Xion's existence really accomplished was adding a layer of development to Roxas and adding another person to the list of people to save. Sorry in advance to the Xion fans, but that is the reality of the matter. Apart from that, she didn't really "die" either, she returned to Sora, from whom she was created. Even after being being physically destroyed, she was still had a presence, and was even able to influence Riku. Her final words even imply, that though she's physically gone, she is not truly gone. As for the Disney characters, I think you're really stretching to make your point. Maleficent is a witch, a powerful witch at that. It makes sense that she could easily revive, and have power over death. Look at her minions, if they aren't some form of demons, I don't know what is. Hell Freddy Krueger, one of the most beloved horror icons of all time, revives in the exact same fashion, so it's not unheard of. Also Ursula wasn't dead in Dream Drop Distance, remember Sora and Riku went back in time to before they left Destiny Islands. So she wasn't dead yet. Overall, I think the concept of death is something Nomura has always been careful about. It's one of the few consistencies of the series. Changing it now would be senseless, and ruin the story that he's trying to tell. There is zero point and building up a story about saving and reuniting those who have been lost, then destroying it by senselessly killing off characters. Lol, this so true. Hades is my favorite Disney Villain too lol.

Beat you to it! I just didn't look for the interview lol.

For starters, killing someone and splitting them into a Heartless and Nobody, are two different things. Killing someone does not spawn a Heartless and Nobody. A Heartless and Nobody only spawn when a person falls to darkness. Second killing the Nobody first does not automatically negate the revival rule. When a Nobody is destroyed before the Heartless, the body will fade into darkness, where it will wait for the Heartless to be slain. If the body isn't destroyed by the darkness, before Heartless is slain there is still a chance for the revival to occur.

USA! USA! USA! Congrats to all the Olympians who represented their countries and won medals!

The only thing that is odd to me that the events are at random times. How are you supposed to know when the events are? I don't have time to check every five minutes lol!

Never trust card...they use their own brothers to fight...

When your repertoire consists of German Suplexes, and punches, you're not going get much excitement.

Mother Gothel should have used more moisturizer...

I agree with this as well lol. Though I'm sure she would have found someone lol.

I don't know how people ever paired Sakura and Naruto together. That was always portrayed as one sided. Sakura was too busy pining over Sasuke to ever have romantic feelings for him.
