The Transcendent Key

You forgot to add Re:Coded into the polll, since it came out in 2011. But, I digress. My favorite Kingdom Hearts game of the decade is definitely III! Over a decade's worth of buildup and hype, with stories and characters and emotions all leading up to a grand finale was one of the most satisfying experiences in Kingdom Hearts I've ever experienced! Kingdom Hearts III was the epitome for me, and I felt immensely satisfied with the conclusion to the Xehanort Saga! I couldn't be happier to end the decade than having been able to play through the whole Xehanort Saga! Thank you, Nomura and friends! You really hit it big!

This just goes to show how much things have changed around Youtube over the past few years. This current COPPA dilemma is only making things worse, and it'll only make Youtube end up being a barren place void of creativity, ya know? It's messed up! Fortunately, my videos aren't monetized, though what I really would only do in my channel is talk about Kingdom Hearts and movies and make funny skits and whatnot, but that's pretty much it, and I haven't uploaded anything to my channel in about seven months! And my videos aren't vulgar, so there's that too, so I'm not too worried about myself.

Yeah, this film was definitely an improvement over the first one, with the darker story and the feel of adventure you got from it, ya know?

Sadly, the thing here is that you can never please all Star Wars fans, because some fans will be butthurt over things that please other fans. It's a vicious cycle, honestly. I'm the type of fan that loves all the films equally, though Revenge Of The Sith and The Last Jedi are my two particular favorites.

Hey there everyone, I hope you've all been doing swell! Wow, can you believe that in just a few short hours, this decade will come to a close? 2020 is right next door, and with that, marks the beginning of our very own 20's! Great-grandparents had the 1920's, and now we shall have our very own in the 2000's! It's insane and mind-blowing when you think about it! And well, I just want to take a moment to reflect on this decade and how things have changed so much. Funnily enough, I've been a member here for almost nine full years. I joined in May 31st of 2011, and I've been a loyal member ever since, though in recent months I've had to lay off on logging on. But it's been such an honor and a privilege getting to be a member of this wondrous site! It's crazy to think that this past decade, we all awaited in the hype for Kingdom Hearts III, and got to play through the Xehanort Saga throughout the years! That's no small feat, I assure you! So to think that as Kingdom Hearts fans, we were able to end the Xehanort Saga just before the decade came to an end! And now with a new decade comes a whole slew of KH games to come in the future! So I think it's an amazing thing to think about! When it comes to life, so much has happened, in terms of politics, world events, pop culture, you name it! We've bore witness to many wonderful things, and many terrifying things, and things that have defied any and all explanation! It's a testament to the unpredictability that follows the human race, for good or ill. Because for all intents and purposes, for all the good we've done, there's also an equal amount of bad. And in recent years the bad is outweighing the good, and I find that to be sad. Because lately, people are way more aggressive and hostile to each other than in years past...it's scary, honestly. But hey, let's welcome the new decade with smiles on our faces, and hope that this will be a good set of years that will see good things, and hopefully changes that affect us for the better. Let's take a moment to tune out all negativity and pessimism and despair and forget about depressing situations. Take a moment to focus on yourself and tell yourself that things will be okay and that you'll get to push forward in life and achieve your dreams! Don't let anyone or anything stop you from doing what you want to do! A new year means new horizons, and a new decade means new possibilities! So let's look forward to it, 'kay?

It makes me wonder what would happen with Wonderland if there ever came a time when an adult Alice would appear in the KH series. But since in KHIII, the mantle of Princess Of Heart has been passed on to others all except for Kairi, could this mean that Alice may have doffed the mantle?

Not really, but still, it shows Nomura knows how to work with different types of circumstances for worlds.

Ah, well that is very interesting!

Who knows? It could be your lucky day!

Well, if Nomura can make Pride Lands, Atlantica and Toy Story work, I'm sure he could work with Dinosaurs!

Well, if you haven't played the game, I'd say you've come at the right time to play it, since Re:Mind comes out next month. After playing through all of it, the wait for KHIV luckily won't feel as long. And I feel that since Nomura and his team got the new Kingdom Shader engine down, they can use their assets to create more KH games in half the time it took to make III!

Thanks for showing this to us, Leamax! KHIII deserves all the recognition it can get! It was a fantastic game, and Re:Mind will only make it better!

Notre Dame, for sure! I love the architecture and how grandiose it is!

It was in 2006, Christmastime! Kingdom Hearts II was my first game in the franchise, and I fell in love and took it upon myself to play every single game that had released until then! And then afterward, I'd pre-order every installment and to this day, I am a devout fan! Love these games!

I love all the mechanics, as they offer different styles of battle, but Drive Forms are pretty much my favorite! The fact that each one catered to either offense or defense really made each Form you'd acquire feel different and give you a sense of wonder at unlocking more power! Keyblade Transformations would have to come in second, as they are a perfect mix of Drive Forms and Command Styles!

Daaaang, people were that mad? That's insane! XD I just came back from watching the film with one of my very best friends/soul brothers and with my niece, and we honestly really enjoyed it! As a conclusion to the Skywalker Saga, I thought it had excellent callbacks to what came before, while delivering a finale to the current generation of characters! Kylo Ren/Ben Solo was the most badass character in the film, and seeing Lando again was amazing! And the whole thing with Leia having trained under Luke to become a Jedi was fantastic! It was truly a beautiful way to end the saga, and the whole bit with the voices of Jedi past speaking to Rey, it reminded me of when Korra was able to tap into the Avatars of the past and they appeared behind her. I wish the Force Ghosts of the Jedi characters would have appeared behind Rey, and I would've especially loved to see Anakin's force ghost, but overall, it was an amazing film! Ming-blowing!

Thanks for giving us a special peek at this novel! My question though is, since Union X has not ended, does this mean the story only goes so far as the Keyblade War in X?

Thanks, man!

That could be a possibility! Wow, that's insane!

Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic day with your loved ones!

I love all of Riku's Keyblades, but The Way To Dawn is easily his most iconic one. It symbolizes the peak of Riku reaching acceptance of his inner darkness and coming into control of it. It's got such a fantastic design, and it suits Riku really well!

I would normally say Ultima Weapon, but Void Gear takes the cake, just because I love the intricate design of the Keyblade, and the fact that it belongs to none other than one of my favorite villains in the series, Vanitas!

For me, it's easily the Wayfinder Trio. Don't get me wrong, I love all the trios in the series, but Terra, Ventus and Aqua hold a special place in my heart! They are among my favorite characters in the series, and seeing what they went through tore me apart, because Xehanort manipulated the circumstances around them so there would be mistrust and betrayal, and eventually, a forced confrontation that ended in their demise. Ventus going into a coma, Terra being possessed by Xehanort, and Aqua ending up in the Realm Of Darkness hit me hard when I first played Birth By Sleep, so seeing the trio reunite in Kingdom Hearts III definitely made me all warm and emotional inside!

I chose nothing because I loved everything in the trailer! XD

Definitely the Prequels. Since the next saga is probably gonna be dealing with deeper and darker themes and will probably involve much politics regarding the Foretellers and what went down in the Age Of Fairy Tales, adding the Prequels would be a great way to weave that sort of narrative into the new saga. Because when you think about it, in the Prequels, the unrest over a mysterious threat causes people to stir into action, unknowingly setting into motion a chain reaction that leads to the fall of the Jedi Order and the creation of the Galactic Empire. Such things like these are the perfect example about how darkness doesn't always have to be a visible threat and can be a force behind the scenes bringing chaos, such as Palpatine did. Plus, with the plethora of Prequel characters to act as bosses, such as Grievous, Maul and Dooku, it'd be insanely good!
