So I noticed the Kingdom Hearts threads were all very outdated and I want to discuss the games so I made a new and fresh thread.
I recently played Kingdom Hearts 2 again after "studying" the whole story of the game. I have personally only played Kingdom hearts 1 and 2 so I watched EVERY english cutscene for the other games (358/2 days, bbs, chain of memories and coded) because I wanted to figure everything out.
The story in the game is seriously by far my favorite in any game. I love how they focused on darkness and light not just as the typical "good and evil" but how they made darkness something even the good characters could control and still be considered "good" as long as they didn't succumb to it.
I also love how they made everyone consist of 3 things; A heart, a body and a soul. The heart is put forth as not just an organ but as something that holds both light and darkness and if it gets corrupted by the darkness then it will create a heartless which is a creature lacking both body and soul. The body and soul left without a heart then creates a nobody.
Without a heart the creature (nobody) cannot feel any emotions but still keep it's memories and inteligence from his somebody.
The heartless on the other and are just mindlessly trying to steal people's heart if there is any light in it.
The nobodies created when strong hearted persons became heartless are stronger, more powerful nobodies and 13 of these created this organization. Their mission as you probably know is to complete Kingdom Hearts by releasing the hearts that the heartless stole. If Kingdom Hearts is complete the nobodies will gain hearts again making them "truely exist" They realize that the only way to do that is to use the Keyblade. Roxas is the only one in the organization capable of using a keyblade so Xemnas uses him to kill these heartless. Another organization member tries to lure Sora in to Castle Oblivion after he awakes so that he can manipulate Sora with the help of Kairi's nobody. His plan is then to complete Kingdom Hearts by himself but he is later layed to rest by a fellow org. member as they found out he was a traitor.
I really like how because of this the game is pretty much sperated into 3 "teams" The nobodies, the heartless and the somebodies.
No one is on anothers side, the nobodies mission requires the heartless to die, the heartless mission requires the somebodies to "die" and the somebodies fight both the heartless and the nobodies.
Hmm... I haven't really said my opinions on the game so far so I'll make it easy.
I love this about the game (Not in any order):
1. That the heart is a symbol which represents feelings, being somebody and how it can be transfered to other bodies.
2. Light and darkness , how it affects people and how both always will exist.
3. How much I feel for the Organization. They are just nobodies trying to be somebodies but they can't do their mission without causing chaos through out the worlds. (This adds to the personal emotions towards the game)
4. Keyblades. They are awesome and unique
5. How well they can mix a Final Fantasy style game with Disney is amazing. However I don't like for example that Donald, Mickey and Goofy were in the ending scene of KH2. It kind of ruined the atmosphere when Sora, Riku and Kairi finally got together again.
6. The friendship between some people in this game. I'm especially looking at Axel and Roxas friendship and how I get all sad when Roxas can't remember Axel when he is in the simulated version of Twilight Town. Sora, Kairi and Riku's friendship with eachother is my favorite though. How Sora promises to Kairi that they will be together again after being seperated and how he holds on to Kairi's lucky charm through his rough journey and then shows it to Kairi at the end of KH2. Also: I really like Naminé as a character. Both her and Roxas are special nobodies not taking form of their sombodies as their "heart releasers" were Sora for Kairi and Kairi for Sora.
7. I love Riku's and personal struggle with the darkness inside of him. I support his decision of taking the middle road (The twilight path between light and dark) making darkness something that he can control without being consumed by it at the end of Chain of Memories.
8. How the story doesn't begin with Sora's journey in KH1 but with Terra, Ventus and Aqua in BBS. It's really confusing at first to try to piece the story together but when you actually take time and go through all games and the cutscenes it all makes sense.
9. I like how Aqua, Terra and Ventus connects their hearts with Kairi, Riku and Sora, making them able to use the keyblade. (I especially love the scene where Sora, as a kid, feels that someone is hurting (Ventus) in another world so he opens up his heart (not literally LOL) and lets Ventus heart rest within him and how this affects Roxas look.
10. The Ansem Reports. I love that they made a report within the game made by Ansem the Wise so that you can further understand how Xehanort became a heartless aswell as a nobody and how Sora and Kairi's nobodies isn't like the rest.
I came up with 10 different things I love about the game. It would be cool to hear other Kingdom Hearts fans opinion about the game. I really need to sleep now (It's 5am here)
Probably alot of typos and stuff in there and me just going off about the story instead of my opinion but I'm really tired and I cba to edit this now.
PLEASE DISCUSS

Hehe, i'm still waiting for a possble KH3 which should have been on the PS3 by now, I mean the handhelds are probably good and all, but the console one's seem to better appeal to me, at least visually, the music is amazing though.
