It's interesting how Sora fills that bridge, isn't it? At a glance, I feel like he screams Square Enix, but as we journey with him and get to know him, he fees equally Disney.
A minor change of Sora's that I like is his new clothes. I know it's minor (and not really important), but I'm digging the new duds as opposed to the super zipper crazy Nomura design we had in KHII. His clothes weren't bad in KHII, but I always kind of felt like he had just walked out of a Hot Topic. At least now he just looks like he's on an adventure haha.
And I feel like that's a good way to game. It's not as time consuming, you can hold conversations regarding the story, and you got what really mattered out out of it. Knowing this, I still don't know what makes me a completionist. Something about having turned every nook and cranny is rewarding, but I hit a point in gaming where I've tried to allow trophies to take a back seat. Enjoy the game, finish it before it's spoiled for me, and don't let stuff prevet me from having fun. Then once I've got the meat of the game out of the way, I can go back and do everything else. That's how I've been playing FFXIV, I've just been plowing through the story, doing other little things here and there, not going out of my way for any trophies. Even once I'm done with the story, it's such a living world and all of the fun comes from doing things with others, and I just don't know if I'll ever feel prompted to clean that trophy list haha.
