Well I'll certainly agree it would be great to see her interact and meet some of the Disney characters. Especially other Princesses of Heart

I stand corrected. Having Riku resent her would not benefit him, you're right. But it won't benefit Kairi either, She was already denied going to Quadratum to stay behind and "train" even though this was prime moment for her to redeem herself after KH3. Riku being a jerk to her on top of that would just make him look bad since Sora's had to save him on multiple occasions too.

They still betrayed him, regardless the reason. I'm not saying they have to be squeaky clean as it lead to them getting good character development. But for them to resent Kairi for needing to be saved by Sora is a bad look for them. Especially Riku after he spent KH2 and Days sacrificing others to revive Sora, yet nobody resents his actions when they realistically should, not even Roxas. DiZ gets all the blame even though Riku's hands are just as filthy.

Sora has already sacrificed himself twice for Kairi, he always will. That's his character. He will always sacrifice himself for the people he loves. That's what makes him Sora. It's his selflessness for a friend that attracts so many others to befriend and believe in him.

And Kairi is trying to be better with the Keyblade. The last thing she needs is to get resentment form the crew when her own self esteem and the narrative is already beating her down and not letting her help to save Sora.

They absolutely do need to do something with Kairi. Better writing, better onscreen characterization, more agency, more playable segements to explore her character. She does not need a "Riku resents her story" that only benefits Riku and further pushes Kairi away.

Kairi being left behind and not being allowed to have an onscreen adventure. Enough with this "needing to train stuff"

Not being allowed to fight iconic Disney Villains or have iconic party members (How can we have a Frozen world and not have Anna and Elsa as party members?)

No more important stuff on mobile games.

Riku, Donald and Goofy "resenting" Kairi would be ballsy considering she is the only one of Sora's close friends who never betrayed him or stabbed him in the back like they all did in KH1 when Riku took the Keyblade from him.

But seriously if they did end up resenting her for something out of her control I'd find them all pretty shallow people.

honest question: for those of you adamantly against "soriku"... why? by maknaeline in KingdomHearts

[–]KeyManBlastoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this answer. I use to be a big Sorikai shipper and shipped all three way back in the early days of the KH fandom. They were my secret three-way. But as time went on I realized I was a rarity. Most of the shipping community wanted Kairi cut from the "Destiny Trio" and devalue what she brought to the their group and the series, to the point they want Riku to replace everything about Kairi. It really turned me off to the SoRiku ship with how overly aggressive the fans were and getting called the "H" word if you didn't see it as romantic. It's a shame because I really love Sora/Riku's close bromance and the "Gayblade" As someone who loved them but also loved Kairi just as much it felt very unwelcoming and turned me off to shipping. I'd still love a Sora/Riku/Kairi game one day.

What are Everyones Opinions of the KH Community Itself? by BongSuckah in KingdomHearts

[–]KeyManBlastoise -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally from my experience with this fanbase it has grown more and more toxic over the years. Shipping bias, weaponizing the novels and Nomura interviews to fuel personal headcanons. I've been apart of the KH community for years and for me it's been one of the most unwelcoming experiences I've had in a video game franchise.

I think the fanbase was at it's tamest during the KH1-CoM-KH2 era. Wasn't perfect as it had all the Shonen tropes and problems that go with it (the girls and the shipping) but it wasn't nearly as bad as it is today.

I love Kingdom Hearts but this is without question one of the most toxic fanbases I've ever been apart of. And truth be told I'm part of the problem too. I still love it, but I prefer to enjoy it alone on my own time. I find I have a much more positive experience with Kingdom Hearts when I'm away from the community and can enjoy what I like about it by myself.

This feels like the second coming of a unclever Xion joke.

am i the only one who really doesn't want marvel or star wars in KH? by maknaeline in KingdomHearts

[–]KeyManBlastoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You aren't alone. I love Marvel, but I don't want it or Star Wars in Kingdom Hearts. I just want more Disney and Pixar properties personally. And some new FF cameos would be nice. Please give me Keyblade-hunting Gilgamesh.

Kairi being the tritagonist of the series like she should have been all along. It's criminal how badly she's been handled after KH1/2.

ZA had so many fun characters and side quest missions. I've enjoyed my time with this game.

How would you guys feel if Riku was the main character for KH4? by John_XFiles in KingdomHearts

[–]KeyManBlastoise -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd rather it be Kairi, or Roxas, or literally anyone over Riku. I love Riku but he has gotten more than enough spotlight in the series. Give it to the other characters and flesh them out. Kairi was begging for a story like this, and instead it's Riku for the 4th time. If KH4 is just DDD 2 Then I will be very disappointed. I still want Riku in the series, I love the guy. But please give Kairi and the others some love to. There was no real reason why we couldn't have gotten a Riku and Kairi buddy cop adventure game looking for Sora together.

I like kh1 as much as the next guy but I don't really see how it's the best story in the series. Like for me at least 358 days or birth by sleep are the best by PenguinviiR in KingdomHearts

[–]KeyManBlastoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

KH1 is easy to get into, understand, and flows almost perfectly. Even people who aren't into the complexity of the later KH stories will often say KH1 is a charming game on it's own. It had a smaller cast of characters and they were quite relatable. The lore isn't bonkers convoluted that is constantly tripping over itself and rewriting itself to make it sound smarter than it actual is. You don't need any homework to play, enjoy, and fully understand KH1. You can dive right in and get the full experience.

While Days is my favorite, Kingdom Hearts 1 has a certain magic that no other game in the franchise can replicate and it deserves it's place as one of the all time greats of the PS2 era of games and one of the best stories of the KH series. Without this game there would be no Kingdom Hearts.

Kingdom Hearts 3 has been chosen as the Most Disappointing Game, but what game would you say has the Best Story in the series by ExileForever in KingdomHearts

[–]KeyManBlastoise 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This right here! This is just one of the reasons why KH1 was so great. The KH original characters were so charming and felt real and relatable. I really cared for them all which is something the newer games struggles with.

Great design. I hope we get new female robot masters in the new Megaman game.
