Just to note, that Super Groupies tag smells really good (it is has a perfume smell, so if any of you are curious....yep)

Part of the Axel sweater package, here is a closet look of the small photo of Axel. This is a glossy photograph but it still looks absolutely beautiful.

Here is what’s inside the box. I only bought the sweater because it is the easiest I could afford. It also came with a small photo of Axel wearing is Super Groupies threads, drawn by Tetsuya Nomura .

Here I am wearing the sweater. It actually has some wait and it’s quite comfy. Before I bought this, I had some help from my mom picking the right size. This is, indeed a perfect size (it was medium). Case you are wondering, the sweater alone costed about $100. I’d say it is good quality. It shipped from Shibuya....just throwing it out there. I got more photos, but they will only be just for fun. I’m pretty have all I could say about this other than it is a wonderful sweater.

So, my user Groupies sweater just arrived! After months of waiting since late November it early December, it finally arrived at my door step. Here is the box that came with. Will show more inside in the other photos.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have now taken the time to think about the game since finishing it. It was, once again, 6 Transformers movies worth waiting for this title. I already shared my feelings towards this anticipation. But now, it is finally finished, I can finally express my thoughts the best that I can. This review is kinda last minute because of Kingdom Hearts 17th anniversary, I had to post this. I may update my review for this eventually, spoilers and all. Till then, enjoy what I have for now This will be semi-spoiler-ish, however. I really gotta mention some elements and speak my thoughts on it. I will try to be as vague as I can. Another thing to note and it's kind of important. As of this review, there was confirmation on DLC coming up. So, if they happen to be story changes, this will not be included in this first-thoughts review. I may add a bonus near the end as an update of sorts. Till then, this review you're reading will not include DLC in full. Without further ado, let's get into the review! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - We begin KH3 where we left off in 0.2, when Sora and Co travel once again to new worlds. They must find a way to gain the Power of Waking, for it is a way to find the hearts that were once lost. Meanwhile, Riku and King Mickey look for clues to find the 3 missing Keyblade wielders. This journey will be their toughest yet, as they try to assemble the guardians of light to fight against Xehanort's schemes. - - - - - - - Let's start off with when I first started playing. Each main title tradition is how a menu is presented (at least like KH2 did). The moment you see a portion of the drawing of Sora, the KH3 rendition of Dearly Beloved. This version was the most unique and enchanting I have heard. The moment the menu fully shows, I truly cried legitimately for the first time for any KH game. I had some tears in the past, but I never sobbed till now. My connection with the anticipation was beginning to pay off. Of course, it was the tip of the iceberg for the further emotional moments to come. The rest will involve mostly story moments. But, first things first: GRAPHICS AND PRESENTATION: No question, the best looking KH game in the series. The environments of each world was unique and beautiful in their own way. They try to make it as close to the visuals of the movies as possible, at least by game standards. Details were incredibly crucial during it's development and they delivered thanks to the Disney/Pixar IPs lending their visually picky hands in the mix. One of the aspects I did not expect involved some "CGI" moments. To keep it from being to spoiled, these moments threw me off guard when they were presented as not an opening or ending sequence. Good darn dandy it's the first time in the KH series I've seen so much of it. That is incredibly welcoming and would love to see more in the future installments. This unique feature they added was smoothly transitioning cutscene to gameplay. In fact, it is somewhat resonant to KH1. Not as smoothly as now of course. But I thought it was neat to not have that many fade-outs. Then there are "speech bubbles". Fun fact, in KH3, there aren't any. Now, there are full voice text. To which, I find that a great change in the series. Hard to say what else, it's just so gosh diddly darn pretty! GAMEPLAY: This is kinda tricky to explain. I've never been the most critical in the technicality of gaming. They are explosive and fun to say the least. However, there are some mechanics I feel needed to be addressed the best I can (this is pure opinion from yours truly, so I recommend experiencing this yourselves to receive your own conclusion). One of the mechanics involves something called Attractions. They are simply somewhat summons to Disney rides as an advantage in combat. While they are fun in their own way, depending on your play style, I feel they can be jarring depending on the timing in and out of combat or if you simply just want it there at all. For example, the issue I had was just simply trying to open a chest using △. However, if you're not looking, your situation command on an Attraction is also △, so you're just wasting the ability. I find it strange how it was introduced to the game. The context to how it existed was simply non-existent. I am telling you, I enjoy using a summon more than attraction because Summons were introduced via story cutscene. To that, I find it a more proper way to introduce a mechanic. If Square finds a way to squeeze in a reason Attraction exists via cutscene, I probably wouldn't mind them too much I think. Another feature I actually wish they brought back was clothing customization. This was from 0.2 Birth by Sleep, which is e first to use this certain feature. If anything, I find this a far more fun component in the game. I think it made 0.2 have replay value because you can get her these times via completing objectives. As such, I was hoping we get that in KH3. Sadly, it is not to be Not sure if this will be added as DLC, only time will tell (but I will be guessing no for now) Another I feel is crucial is the difficulty. Funny enough, this game does not include critical mode. You could argue that it feels traditional to add critical in a Final Mix version. However, when a series like KH would be around for so long, you would think for them to simply add it like the other in-between titles. I am saying this because I heard the game was too easy. As someone who played on standard, it did feel too easy. I even played the game on Proud, and it was not much tougher. Luckily, as of this review, Square is planning to add critical. I'll add my thoughts on that when the time comes. That being said, it did feel too easy and not super challenging. Luckily, aside from these certain issues, I still had a blast with the combat. One of my favorite mechanics is Rage Form. It is similar to anti-form in KH2. It used to be an inescapable consequence for using drive forms too many times and was not introduced in game till you randomly activate. However, you are now given an option to use it if you are at critical health (you are even healed when you use it). This form also plays an important part and I'll explain why in my spoiler section. I previously mentioned that Summons were really fun to use.....well, at least one of them. I will admit, I feel the summons are, once again, pretty forgettable. But it really depends on the play style. When I played for the first time, I have used this summon so many times because of how cool it is and it's finisher a heavy hitter. It is just that and I'd rather use a summon over piles of attraction flow. Having a Keyblade is mysterious, weilding 2 keyblades was mind-blowing. Now, I can not only equip 3 keyblades, I can now switch on the go during combat. It was really neat to pick 3 of my choosing to have certain situation I want. That being said, I am a bit saddened that there are less Keybaldes this time around. I don't even have that many original Keybaldes. It is still a tradition to get the ultima weapon and now a couple of early DLC Keybaldes, just feels kinda weird to not have many original keyblades for this big title. However, I want to remain confident in hopes we get more via DLC in the future. So, this could end up being an invalid complaint. I still love switching the keyblades I want. Another neat thing I have to mention is the gummi ship. For many years, it is considered the least favorite in the series. The only thing to gather from the gummi ship are mostly items ONLY exclusive to the gummi ship and had nothing to do outside of it. It is also on the rail shooting for both KH1 and KH2 and you have to fight rough enemies in order to open a world. Now, in KH3, you have more freedom to fly around space to gather no just gummi parts, but even parts for your Keyblade and earn some money. You also have e option whether or not you want to fight some enemies. It is entirely explorable. Even customization is more fun this time around. Out of everything in KH3, this was somewhat more nostalgic to me. The music really hit home in the gummi menu. I almost hated the gummi simply because I was learning about it and figuring out the controls. Now, I can easily say it is incredibly fun now. Speaking of music..... MUSIC: I find that music can impact anyone in many ways. In case you guys don't know, I LOVE Kingdom Hearts music. It made Yoko Shimomura my all time favorite composer (though, technically FFXV officially confirmed the top favorite composer...same person BTW). She certainly knows what points to hit and how to hit it. I previously mentioned that KH3's menu theme, Dearly Beloved, made me cry like a baby. Most of the original tracks that are from the game's plot were emotional and well composed. I want to name my favorite tracks that truly stood out to me, but that will be a list for another day. But, my gosh, she never failed to make my soul overfill itself with spirit juice and leaking it out of my eyes. STORY: SO.....now we get to the one thing that kept me going in this series. What brought me to do reaction videos, the true reason why I wanted this game. Shocker, it is the story. This section is not semi-spoiler. So, read with caution. If you want to care about the story, I will straight out say you have to understand the past titles in order to get the full picture of this game. I am not talking just about the lore and world-building. It's seeing the characters go through their trials is worth the emotional pay-off. Yes, even even if you do understand the entirety of the series, there are some issues, which I will be as vague as I can. For the Disney stories, it is 50/50. They range from original stories to exact copy of the film but adding Sora. I find the original plots of the Disney worlds to have the better experience in my opinion. I say this because it had the most memorable moments compared to the others. The rest are fine.....except for one. This world felt incredibly lacking of interacting with the Disney characters and even the story of that world. It felt like there was no impact or reasonable connection with them. It was there because it was popular and Disney was incredibly protective of it. What makes it just as frustrating is we're exploring the world the same way only to end up falling over and over, rinse and repeat. Some of you may know what world I am talking about. But it happens to be my least favorite because of it. That being said, the other half of the worlds have original plot. I'll just flat out say the worlds I am technically talking about are the Pixar worlds. Pixar requesting them to do an original plot was a smarter idea. As such, it gave Square more freedom to create a chance to work with the overall plot and became more memorable because of it. They outshine even the most popular movie title put in the game. As for the characters, there were many that had their moments and were a sight to see. However, there was one character that I felt was....how do I say....weird in how their arc was done. They started out just fine like I would expect. Continues to be one as such for awhile. Until, out of nowhere, they suddenly flip the coin to surprise you. It is somewhat explained in the reports and it may have been hinted during the actual gameplay. I just never found any hints for how they learn to come to the realization to atone. Another character I need to speak my thoughts on that is considered the big elephant in the room.....some of you may know what I'm talking about. They were incredibly advertised to be a change of pace for the character. More screen time and even a better sorry arc for them. Only for them to trip hard and lose the potential to become what they are expected to be. I'll be honest, that character never bothered me nor did I actually care. They weren't really inspirational aside from loving the name. Saying that might mean something isn't working for that character for me. I am not really as mad as everyone in this are meant, but I can see why people are frustrated. Here's hoping they improve them in the future titles or even via DLC. Who knows.... There is also the lack of some certain characters that were also discussed in the fandom. This was already confirmed before the game's release, so I'll just straight out say it. There are no Final Fantasy characters....at all....aside from Moogles. The reason was because there are so many characters in the series, they want their arcs to be completed (because that is why we waited for KH3 for so long). As a result, they felt it was unnecessary to keep them when the original characters have their own paths to walk on without FF guidance. If anything, I can definitely see that. However, the addition of Final Fantasy with Disney is what drew the other half of the weird crossover in the first place. Leaving out what made this game unique feels hallow. Don't get me wrong, Kingdom Hearts definitely created it's own identity. It's just saddening leaving out a unique ingredient from the full meal. Aside from that, there is no need to talk about my thoughts on the lore of this game because it is a fun hot mess of nonsense. What mattered was seeing the characters earn their goals that they rightfully deserve and it emotionally pays off. I am telling you, this is the first time I actually cried more often in a game. I never really cried, but I do get emotional, misty eyes and pulling heart strings. This game, just over did it and loved every moment of it. Regardless how you feel, I think KH3 has great moments, regardless how nonsensical and crazy the story is. The KH series always had moments that shines bright, despite whether of not you enjoy the other titles. - - I really did enjoy my time with this game the first time. I will cherish those moments because not only do I finally get to play KH3 after years of waiting, but at that time I was going through a difficult time from work (and I do not mean just being tired from it). Taking the time to play this game without a worry in the world, gave me the breath of happiness I need.....it was convenient too because my town was hit with the Polar Vortex and had to stay off work. During my time playing this game, I managed to record my reaction playing the entire game. I will forever look back on my favorite highlights. That being said, I will be honest, I had to take my time to really think on how I do this review due to the polarizing arguments in the fandom recently. I wanted to express my thoughts without reflecting and applying everyone's opinion to my own opinions. I want it to come from me. It is not perfect, but I just want to talk about it. To think is is finally out and finished, I admit that I actually miss the anticipation. But, now is the time to look forward to more new content for the future of the series. I will most definitely look forward to it. ARTIST'S NOTES This was a wonderful piece to do. I've always loved the largest-mirror shots, I find them aesthetically pleasing. This was based on the opening of KH3 (and it is somewhat a recurring thing in the game) and the art cover of the game. When I first saw the cover, I was blown away by the variety of colors. The sky had all the times of day simultaneously, making it incredibly beautiful. I wanted to inflict that with this drawing since, again, seems to be recurring in this title. Fun fact, I almost used this background for my Union X drawing, but decided to use this for here because the colors matched better with KH3 Sora. Speaking of one was a bit easier because he is not full of belts I guess LOL That and I learning that his shoes have become somewhat reasonably sized compared to KH1. - - - That is it. That is all the drawings up to here in this particular project. To think I've started last year, taking me 6-7 months since June, to make this project possible. It was even more fun when I replayed the games to easily give the full thoughts on each review attached to the art work. I am incredibly proud of it, I even made my own photo book on it to cherish. This series is very special and I want to share my love for it to everyone. Thank you all so much for tuning it checking it out. Please check out the whole collection of art work from the project. If you are new, I hope they will convince you to play the games. They are incredibly fun and unique that is unlike most games today. My fellow veteran fans, I hope this was enjoyable regardless. Seriously, thank you and may your hearts be your guiding key! KH COUNTDOWN FOLDER HERE >>> https://www.deviantart.com/mns-prime-21/gallery/67100545/Kingdom-Hearts-III-Countdown

[THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS! THIS TITLE IS A PROLOGUE TO KH3 AND IT CONNECTS TO BIRTH BY SLEEP AND THE FIRST GAME, I RECOMMEND YOU UNDERSTAND THOSE TITLES BEFORE YOU READ THIS! PLEASE READ AT CAUTION! I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH!) - - - - - - - - - - - - - [We follow Aqua in her time in the Realm of Darkness after sacrificing herself to save her friend. During her time there, she struggles to keep her hopes strong as she tries to find a way to escape and reunite with her friends. All the while, she faces what darkness presents to her, including her own demons.] - - - - - - - - - - I remember anticipating this title since it was first announced. It was also the time I learned the importance of other titles I felt I should play other games, especially Birth by Sleep. And thank goodness I did because I was able to understand the context. As for how I feel about the game, it is a huge improvement from birth by sleep in terms of gameplay. It plays a lot like KH2 in a way. This title, as mentioned, is a prologue to KH3. So, based on what gameplay they are going for, this means no more command decks this time around. However, you are pre-selected with certain abilities and magic spells. You cannot change your abilities, but you can change your placement with magic. You also rely on a new game mechanic called "situation commands". It works Iike how these limit commands worked in birth by sleep. Using the same attacks or spells creates an upgrade of a said spell or combo attack. Another interesting feature was added and it was the first time in the series you have customization. Whenever you accomplish some objectives, you are rewarded an item to your wardrobe. For example, fighting a secret boss will give you a crown or simply seeing the stars will give you wings. I remembered being so surprised by this feature when I saw their last trailer. The boss battles in this title are interesting. Especially ranging from the Darkside heartless to new heartless boss like Demon Tide (which has a very catchy final boss tune). As for heartless in general, seeing old and new in different areas in one world is still fun. Ranging from shadows to elemental heartless always a treat to see. I would also love to straight out say, surprising no none, the graphics of this title are so beautiful! Everything you see in the realm of darkness is what you might expect in a way. It is a place of loneliness and unsettling environments, despite how familiar these worlds are. Everything is distorted, and crystallized. It lacked bright colors and seeing some light give you hope and joy. The look of magic spells makes me appreciate the use of magic since I am normally not a magic based player. Seeing the how it also effects environment was a neat touch. Example, shooting fire not only harms the enemy, but it also scorches the ground. The ice magic I think is one of my favorite spells in this particular title. This is where I will talk about Aqua and the story of this title. I will warn you again this will contain spoilers of the game and even from birth by sleep and a previous title if you have not played it yet. - - - Seeing where we left off from the secret episode in birth by sleep, it is as such Aqua continuing her journey finding a way to escape the realm of darkness. Throughout her time there, she talks to herself. Her thoughts on certain things are worth pondering about. Which again, Kingdom Hearts never fails to give me pondering thoughts that I think Disney themselves have yet to let us learn about. That is opening my eyes on a different kind of perspective and respecting that sight. For example, in this particular title, Aqua ponders and grieves on the predicaments of the world she is in that was taken from darkness. She flashes back to the times she's visited these worlds and realizes how saddening it was to see a lot of the most simple things, you never give thought about, gone. From a dog waiting for their owner, a cat napping on their nook, even things like trees and flowers: every small thing you know are gone. This is telling me that we take the simple things in life for granted. The grief she had for these simple things really hit me when I played this. That moment with Aqua is one of my favorites in the entire series. Moving on, we see Aqua go through illusions that look like her friends and even her own demons she had to fight. The grief she went through and the yearning of escaping to see her friends again is always heartbreaking to see. A lot of what we had to see was just Aqua surviving and sadly we the players had to play along. Here is where I speak of a moment that truly connects....story wise anyway. We actually meet with Terra...at least what Aqua wanted to see. He is in a way an illusion that heard her in the darkness and finally gets to speak to her of Xehanort's attempt to locate Ventus. This moment was actually kinda fascinating because it caused a big whoop and had a really cool semi-action sequence. We now come to a really big reveal of this game. Aqua finally reunites with Mickey Mouse. Through him, we learn Aqua has been in the Realm of Darkness for 10 years, at least in the realm of light since the time in the RoD does not move (I want to mention how heartbreaking it was when Mickey had to reveal that fact....it almost was relatable to us as fans when waiting for KH3). After Aqua finally having a conversation with an actually living person that is not an illusion, it became a relief seeing a form of light that made the moment kinda sweet. This then makes Mickey your temporary party member. It is as such as we head to the next important moments. We have our big battle with swarming piles of heartless known as demon tide at the remains of Destiny Islands (meaning at this time, Sora was fighting Ansem seeker of Darkness in KH1). After that cool battle, we then open a door leading to something Mickey was looking for: a Keyblade from the dark realm known as the the Kingdom Key D. Finding it, an unexpected light takes them to a familiar site to the players: the other side of the door to Kingdom Hearts....sort of. This was where Mickey and Sora lock the door on both sides. During this sequence, we see Riku running towards the door to help close it. from here is where gets interesting. Aqua saves him (he not realizing till Mickey told him) from a tornado of heartless. As such, this resulted keeping Aqua trapped despite being close to escape. This truly shows how she can be incredibly selfless, which is hard to see that she had to face the consequences. Aqua urging Mickey to go without her, she sacrifices herself to remain in the RoD to finish off the swarm of heartless, promising herself she would guide those in the dark and one day return to Terra and Ventus. Leaving off with the ending of KH1, locking both sides of the door and the worlds are now restored. We then finish the segment with Mickey's perspective (the ending of dream drop distance). Upset of the being kept secret for so long, Riku is now determined to rescue Aqua. Both are tasked as such while Kairi goes off to train with Lea to learn the ways of the keyblade. Meanwhile, Sora returns from a secret mission of sorts. Yen Sid speaks to Sora his strength is once again sapped away from him due to the predicament in Dream Drop Distance. He is tasked to meet someone, a true hero, who also lost his strength and hot it back again. Sora, Donald, and Goofy are set off to their next destination leading to the beginning of kingdom hearts 3. There is an issue for some dealing with this title, in terms of the connection. There was a lot of retcon in this series, and I guess this title drew the line on concluding that statement. There was a moment when Mickey was attacked enough to take off his shirt. There is a reason why that was added. In Kingdom Hearts 1, we see Mickey at the end of the game, we see him in his ultra classic outfit (just the red pants). So, adding why he had no short into the continuity is a bit interesting but it lead to people saying that it is a sample of Nomura making things up as this story goes along. Another sample was with Aqua In the mix of it. She learns of these 2 boys saving the worlds during her time in the Realm of Darkness. We then remember her meeting with Ansem the Wise he talks about a boy with a Keyblade saving the worlds. She asked if it was Ven or Terra. This leaves a confusion on this. Why did she ask that? Mickey told her they are out of commission instead it was Sora and Riku. So, Aqua questioning this shows that it was not planned. That being said, personally, I don't actually have that problem. Yes, the shirt situation was a bit silly (heck I was only weirded out he had no shirt on which is strange because it was his classic look ROFL), but the story being connected to KH1 is pretty harmless in a way to me. I'm not saying that this connection was properly planned, but I say Union Cross takes the cake on being an example of making up things to connect and the ultra surprises so far. This was treated and respected better than, for example, the Michael Bay Transformers (even though I did enjoy them for the laughs now a days....and Optimus Prime, but that's a discussion for another day). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I find this a really great edition to this series. While it was meant to be attached to KH3, the had to add something to Dream Drop Distance for their collection edition. I find this awesome since it is, in a way, a demo to KH3's new engine. I love the graphics and I love Aqua's development. I look forward to where this leads in KH3, especially with Aqua's predicaments hopefully coming to an end. Play this game if you are already further in the series. It will be worth it especially for KH3. ARTIST'S NOTES: This is kinda easy since I just used an already drawn Aqua and just added her to the Dark Margin. Drawing this area was bit simple too. So, sadly, I don't think I have much to add other than I am happy how I added to prints in the sand and the text of the title was the most proud I had for it. {{{. As of this post, this is it. That is the last of the posters...until I finish KH3. Yes, I actually have one more being none other than the big honcho itself. However, my thoughts will be raw and scrambled when doing a review and I do plan to make it a spoiler filled review. I will make sure to warn you when I get to it. Please look forward to it when that time comes.mi do not know how long it will take to finish the game. It will be however long it takes to have a fun experience. I will be off Social Media starting the day KH3 releases in Japan on the 25th, being the 24th for us. That being said, I hope you enjoyed the poster's I've done. I truly had a fun time doing them. 6 months worth of work and while my thoughts are not well constructed, I feel I've done my best to speak of them. Doing this project gave me a reason to play these games again, all l the more than enough to make me more excited for the promised day. I will see you all when I finish KH3 I also wish you luck with your choices on how you prepare for this upcoming important time of our fandom lives. Till then, May your hearts be your guiding key! }}} Please check out the other posters for this project: https://www.deviantart.com/mns-prime-21/gallery/67100545/Kingdom-Hearts-III-Countdown

(This is the second half of the Union Cross title that is mostly story based) (THIS IS A HEADS UP: THIS STORY IS NOT FINISHED! ALL I KNOW IS THAT THERE ARE A COUPLE OF CHARACTERS THAT ARE, IN A WAY, RELEVANT TO THE OVERALL PLOT. THE THOUGHTS I HAVE AT THE MOMENT ARE ONLY WHAT WAS AVAILABLE AT THE TIME. SO PLEASE KEEP THAT IN MIND AND TAKE THIS AS A GRAIN OF SALT.) (I WILL NOT SPOIL THE MAJOR STORY ELEMENTS....except for one. I want to point out a personal feeling of a missed opportunity in one of the recent updates while applying my thoughts on Nomura's way of thinking) (Lastly, I don't what else to title this aside form calling it Union Cross LOL So, I guess you can thank Linkin Park for that LOL) --- We go to the next chapter of this timeline. We follow a new group of leaders (The Leader of the Dandelions) after the tragic event that occurred. They try to find ways to prevent their own unions from remembering the event while trying to keep the darkness at bay. --- This is probably going to be the hardest to describe the story, as mentioned, because it is not finished (I don't know how long it'll take for them to actually finish the game's story). All I could do is just express how I feel what I have so far. Because it is a more current story, I felt like I would end up being more surprised whenever there's a new update. The major draw for this title's story was the fact this takes place about 100 years before the events of birth by sleep. This timeline held an important event that became the seed to drive someone to motivation later in the series. What was surprising, however, was the fact that each update we had made one thing clear: it is becoming canon to the lore of the series. If you scream out saying, "why are they adding canon story elements to a mobile game?", then you are right to ask that. Because they try to make it connect to the overall plot of the series, it leaves everyone [who has not caught on to the story] really confused. I cannot say as such on whether or not this will directly connect to KH3 (because KH3 is not out yet nor is this story finish will not be finished by the time KH3 releases). I highly recommend you all to at least check out the plot of this title yourselves before you play KH3, just in case (since we learned there were a couple of characters that are actually important in the series). ((((That being said, I want to address my thoughts on this particular update. I will not say the names of the characters, but I will talk about my thoughts on this update as of is post. So, we are introduced to a couple of certain characters (a guy and a girl). Via rough translations, the guy was looking for his sibling or her sister. Because of the strange translations, we couldn't point whose sister they speak of. This leaves a lot of people speculating and concluding who they feel is the right translation. Turns out, on the next update, it was confirmed to be the guy's sibling. I want to mention that this guy and the girl are actually important characters and I know those characters. I wanted to know more about them and I am getting it. However, I feel is update was a missed opportunity and an example of how Nomura writes his story in Kingdom Hearts. I personally wanted the girl to have s sibling because of her character later n the series and the motivation behind it would've made sense. However, I feel like they had the guy having the sibling because I feel it is a way for Nomura to do everything in his power to make sure it is unpredictable, to which the series is known for. While I do enjoy the unknown future of the story and not know what happens next, I feel that would've been a better motivation for that girl then the guy. Of course, because it is unpredictable, maybe Nomura had something up his sleeve. I actually look forward to it!)))) I really don't have much else to say....simply because, again, this story is not finished. How I feel on what we have so far is honestly interesting. I like seeing what my character had to go through. Kinda seeing myself through these situations at the time is really awesome to see (then again, I am bit bias LOL) [ARTIST NOTES] This was, by the far, the hardest to come up with a concept. As mentioned many time, the story was not finished. So, it was hard to decide the background when it is not the full product. I originally was gonna draw based on KH3. However, due to where it is set, I had to stick with it. I know it is the same background 3 times in a row. The color palettes for the background and atmosphere I try my best to make as different as I can. (I got one more game to cover as of this post! We are getting really close! PLEASE STAY TUNED!!)
