>>389586860
Now he's in his "dude buttons lmao" phase

I still think the oversized disney shoes are retarded as fuck

he got replaced by an asian girl

He grew up. Isn't he something like 17-18 in KH3?

>>389586620
his clothing looks more ridiculous the more they make him look normal

He grew up?

>>389586620
I don't get it. What's the problem?

>>389587667
He should still be 15

>>389586620
Itd be funny if he turned into an asshole like Jak

>>389586620
His hair isn't so lively anymore

Would you have liked it if you played as kh1 sora throughout the games?

Fucking hell.
Really not a fan of his design overall. I actually liked KH2's clothes more as well.

>>389589916
2017 looks much better imo

>>389589964
Nope, he was 14 in 1, spend one year in Namine's capsule and then he went to train at the end of 0.2 to Olympus, it is never stated how much time was Sora training there, for all we know, he's still 15 til proved otherwise

>>389589117
Who is this ugly creature?

>>389590041
There's going to be a KH2 based drive form in the same vein as limit form at the very least.

I've gotten pretty used to the KH3 design. Still prefer 2, but I'm liking it a lot more than when it was revealed.

KH3 Sora has the best silhouette; tighter pants and proportioned shoes give him defining key frames and make him look taller, and the twin spikes give him a more iconic Disney ear look from behind which is where you'll be seeing Sora 70% of the time.

>>389586620
I think his new outfit needs some brighter colors added to it.

>>389586620
1 and 3 are fine, but 2 is unironically one of the best character designs ever. Shame they consistently found excuses to not use it again in any game that came after.

>KH1 story has a darker, more mysterious tone to it
>KH2 throws all that out the window and makes Sora a complete retard
but why

>>389590937
so .2 and blank points are a bit confusing. Aqua gets sucked into darkness, does the blank points gameplay part, then an indeterminate amount of time passes until fragmentary passage, then she walks some more until the end of KH2 and meets AtW?

>>389590848
tfw baby face as well.

can't shave or: I get ID'd for my alchohol, drive or police pull me over and call my mom, fug girls cuz not attracted to cougars

Why cant Riku be the protagonist?
After his Sasuke-phase, he became a really likable character.

>>389589916
JUST

>>389591831
Because that isn't his role. I do agree that his character has developed well.

The music was never quite like this again. Don't get me wrong, all of the game's OSTs are top tier but they're overall not as heavy and the undertones aren't as dark as KH1's

That's really heartwarming and all but if you got a dark feeling from this game at any point I think you're a faggot. You don't suddenly forget everything that has happened prior when Sora stops to ask where his friend is.
>>389592287
Not that I disagree with you but in context of the game as a whole it doesn't really lead to labeling any part of the game dark.

The game is so overly lighthearted that no single line does anything to give the game a dark tone. I don't suddenly forget Sora cracking jokes with a group of Disney characters, making silly faces, or the general atmosphere of the entire game just because he stopped to say "Riku!" out loud. Even Hollow Bastion with only Beast as a companion, it never lasts long enough that I would ever associate the word dark with KH.

why is it that people who consistently reply to multiple people are always retarded

>>389592486

it doesn't really lead to labeling any part of the game dark

Like, 80% of atmosphere in video games is soundtrack

>>389593776
I'll play a long and agree with the 80%. If the other 20% is all light hearted, playfulness. It loses all efficacy. Having two pieces of music in a game that has almost always remained light hearted isn't going to make the game, even if looking solely at the part where the music is playing, dark.

>>389592043
Did Riku strike you as someone who was expecting to ever get laid?

>>389587832
He was 16 in KH2/DDD and in the secret movie Ansem the Wise says it's been over a year since he last saw Sora, so it's easy to assume he's 17/18 now.

>>389594654
He's 15 in 2.

>>389589916
He looks pretty damn good desu, I didn't like his new design at first but the 2017 one looks good. I'm more disappointed in how HJO is trying to sound as "Disney" as possible now.

What game objectively ruined the plot the most?

>>389594192
>his hair is getting flatter over time
Why the fuck did you guys ruin the new Sora design for me.

>>389596148
BBS.

Everything was far more easy to understand prior.

>>389596148
Kingdom Hearts 2 because it pissed off the people who were taking Disney x Final Fantasy seriously to begin with and most of those retards didn't seem to notice CoM

>>389593435
Autism overload, dead ahead. You have been warned.

While I agree that the overall narrative is a fairly light, search for muh friends sorta gig. I would make an argument that the underlying plot point that is the Heartless, could be considered a teeny bit dark.

>The larger plot of the game starts with your island, and everyone who lived on it, being swallowed whole by a black orb in the sky

>While Kari's and Riku's whereabouts are constantly questioned, no other concern is shown for anyone else who lived there. (Selphie, Wakka, Tidus, and Sora's mom, to list of the ones that are shown to exist in game.)

>Later in game, the Fairy Godmothers confirms that once a world is swallowed, so are its inhabitable. The remaining few that aren't wind up lost in Traverse Town, or get transformed into a sort of gem. Alluding that the remaining islanders have either vanished entirely, or have been isolated into an unconscious state in the form of a pebble. (Although what dictates what fate befalls who and for what reasons? I have no idea.)

>Not far into Traverse Town, you witness the process of how a Heartless is formed. Which includes a random stranger stumbling in front of you, vanishing into a mesh of darkness whilst his heart floats over, where a Heartless then takes his place. We can thus assume that any prior consciousness has been swiped out by the Heartless’s more animalistic behavior. Or that they are trapped in an endless limbo of pitch black. This is how every single Heartless you encounter came to be.

>Following that logic, since many of the Heatless are themed after the worlds they appear in, it could also be interpreted that those Heartless were born from the populace of whichever given world you’re in.

Now this may all be diluted heavily when everything that was lost is magically reformed upon Ansem;s defeat. But still.

>If the other 20% is all light hearted, playfulness. It loses all efficacy

Experience more media that's not video games.

>>389597624
Yeah, I bet Riku would trust Sora to not accidentally tell someone that he's having gay sex with a minor.

>>389598051
I literally quit the game because I couldn't stand his stupid fucking clown shoes. I hated them so much as a kid and even now I still do.

>>389596579
The whole Destiny Islands being swallowed by darkness was soooo underplayed.
Like Riku in KH:CoM barely even acknowledges that his desires sent a whole world to KH hell and "killed" all its inhabitants. Sora briefly shows concern that his island is gone before focusing on Riku and Kairi for the rest of the game.

>>389590469
The most beautiful combo!!!

>>389596148
Definitely KH2, it specifically set out to retcon things and make the plot a lot more complicated. All the games after tried to clean up KH2's mess. They gave up with DDD and decided to clusterfuck it some more.

>>389598347
>that's not video games
Sorry but we are discussing a video game. I never made any claim about anything but video games. Sorry if you needing me to specify that in this reply chain about a video game in this thread about a video game on this board supposed to be solely about video games.

>>389598357
I don't blame you. It's obviously Sora's oversized shoes are a Disney homage, but it does make him look ridiculous when Kairi and Riku do not wear such clown shoes. It's especially bad when you look at the concept art with Sora's bare feet. Turns out he's normal in that area so him wearing the oversized clown shoes is all the more ridiculous.

KH3 gave Sora his smallest pair of shoes, but Nomura should have made them smaller.
