Keyblades are so mainstream now lol

So, similar to what the guy on the topic below said, "nomura hadnt planned any of this from the beginning". http://kh13.com/forum/topic/33576-possible-spoilers-ansem-facial-structure/ Sometimes things don't fit perfectly, because what would be the plot was not 100% done, there were most ideas to be modeled. So, let's try to think about points in the series that seem like a changed from first concepts or acts that would alow the creators to manipulate the plot with more freedom and plot twists that changed what we were thinking I'll start listing some: >Nomura made "young Xehanort" look like Terra a little, so that new Xehanort forms apearence wouldn't have to be always Terra related. >Nobodies' original human appearence. I guess that by CoM and KH2, it was commom sense that nobodies wouldn't look 100% like their original humans. Roxas appearence reminds Sora, Naminé's Kairi and Xemnas to "Tehanort" painting. Later we saw that only special nobodies didn't look exactly the human form, Roxas hair was even changed in texture in FM+ to look more like Vens' hair if I am not mistaken. >People look alike and it's just coincidence: Ventus and Sora. >Time travel: the ultimate plot hole maker.

There is not enough information about these events yet. He might have turned into a nobody later, and yes in the end it could just be magic, you can explain Roxas clothes by being similar to Ven's and the fact that his heart is part of Sora's by that time.

So... Do they exist? I guess by now maybe someone should know for sure.

I guess you are better player and more tolerant too lol, I got stucked in the Strange Journey final dungeon, I don't really complain about training, it's just that I couldn't find a good way to get stronger. Persona series make it easier because it was cheaper to go fusing stuff to unlock new monsters, it's just hell expensive in SJ. DDS have many random encounters, but there were more obvious ways to hunt grind.

In the more SMT style games, I also think Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2 are the best. I recomend, they don't have much grinding compared to the others.

So what do you think about this series? SMT games seems to be one of the few today to keep the classic RPGs traits. There are too much combat and grinding sometimes (Strange Journey). Persona series are easier and have a more confortable gameplay, also it's cool how Atlus made a remake of the old titles (Persona 1, and both Personas 2, the second to be released this year). SMT and Persona OSTs are amazing, if you liked Kingdom Hearts Days Xion fight theme you will like it cause they use to be like that.

PS:The Joke with the princes is that the 9 Pilars had 9 guardians and the tenth was the Reaver guardian. Yes, kind of random, but makes sense for fun.

I posted it on a topic making comparisons between the series (KH and LoK) but I guess it will do no harm to expose my draws here too, coment what you think if you have played LoK games.

I finished with the story of the LoK series and it started to make me remind of Kingdom Hearts, so I came up with some comparisons that make some sense (I am not saying Kingdom Hearts copied Lok or the oposite, it's just for fun) [Warning this topic will contain Kingdom Hearts spoilers up to what I know from Dream Drop Distance too, and spoilers from all the LoK series, Blood Omens, Soul Reavers and the Defiance] In Lok we have the Soul Reaver as a very important plot sword, in kingdom hearts there is the Key Blade. I imagined Kain in the SR intro beeing Ansem Seeker of Darkness (KH1 final boss) with the visual when Riku turns to it's apearance in KH2. Once he is part of Xehanort, the throne and pillars make me think about the Organization XII room with the pillar thrones. Then he would throw Sora into the abyss, Raziel falling deeper into the water could be one of the thousand times Sora or one of his "other selfves" or Ven are diving into whater during cutscenes . The scene on the SR2 opening (aka SR1 ending) reminds me of KH2 opening scene where Sora fights possessed Riku and Ansem in a quite similar room from Hollow Bastion, the time portal in that case would be the portal to the world's keyhole. Raziel beeing pierced by the Soul Reaver reminds me of Sora releasing Kairis heart. The act of Kain creating his liteunants vampires is just like Xehanort sharing his Heart into vessels without one, thus creating the Organization XIII. Also, time travel, Xehanort seems to use that a lot, just like Kain. Trivia: In Defiance story, Janus lost his heart, but his body stays intact, just like Kairi's body, so I presume he is a princes of light. But then Raziel takes the heart out of Kain, and at that moment he creates two nobodies, even if Kain is one of the 9 princes of light he is by that time corrupted with darkness. That's the birth of (Roxas and Namine,joke) Kain and Janus nobodies! I made some keyblades for fun, what would Sora get if he ended up in LoK world:
