Well no, Mickey specifically did need to find a dark realm Keyblade. Probably. But any dark realm keyblade probably would have worked, too. IMO.

?

I'm reasonably sure that yes, that's literally it.

It's... just a normal Keyblade. It would have been Riku's Keyblade even, had Sora not stolen it from him near the start of KH1.

It's a short story for ShB. https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/tales_from_the_shadows/sidestory_07/ @Ash is Trash

We're already in a worldline. It was worldlines all along.

I play XIV. Those are two references of exactly the sort that is very common for FF. You're reading waaaaay too much into it. summon designs don't always change massively, borrowing the Eikon word is a relatively small reference all things considered.

What similarities it has are fairly standard for FF in general. It also has some stuff that's a lot more type 0 than 16. Or just "almost every single FF ever"

Not at all, no.

I'm not sure. Repliku is literally a copy -of- Riku. It's two hearts yes but it's two very, very similar hearts and I don't think Repliku even has a keyblade. Sora could dual wield because the second keyblade he uses is Ventus' Likewise, Roxas dual wields Sora's Keyblade and Ventus' Keyblade.

Roxas could dual wield because Sora can dual wield. Sora can dual wield because of Ventus. The only thing Xion did was die and have Roxas unlock it through his will to remember her or something, as per an ultimania interview.

And weird sizing issues sometimes.

There's also a guy in the Trails series that is named Joshua. AHA.

Honestly I preferred the demo for 15 to the final product, combat wise.

I actually enjoyed that.

Constant refreshing is constantly asking the server for page info, so doing it often enough might be perceived as that, I'd imagine.

Because DDOS attacks.

Also, Colonel. While we're on words that are pronounced weird compared to the spelling.

Also loads of foreign names. To someone speaking english.

I mean yes but is that actually a problem? There are literally english words like that. All over the place.

so if you weren't seeing it written down all the time it'd be fine.

... Sure if you completely mangle it I guess. But in all seriousness Roe names are fine IMO and get a lot of undeserved hate ? The pronunciations are also a lot simpler than the spelling generally.

Merl-wib Blowf-his-win

Roe names are either. Literal translations of their name. Or Like german, a bunch of mashed up Roe language words that get a bit long and messy.
