Made me cry too, Roxas was so much better than Sora, i thought we were finally rid of him DX
Not joining. I hate KH with a passion but I'm a fan of Sora's.
Good luck though.
One of the concepts behind the KH series is that the main character Sora isn’t special, he’s just a normal boy. Yes he does have connections with Ventus’ heart, among others, but he hasn’t inherited anything from them. He’s just a normal boy you could find anywhere. I wanted to make Sora a character that the player could take onto themselves and feel that you don’t have to be special. But connect to many people and you will realize your secret potential.
Not joining, but just wanted to point something out concerning the whole "Chosen One" spiel.
Nomura pretty much says the exact opposite:
BbS has really downplayed his unique status even more given that we know of other Keyblade wielders. The only thing so far that makes Sora truly "special" in that regard is the fact that Sora didn't need to touch someone's keyblade to inherit one. But we already know why that's so. He didn't even really bypass the process at all, [b]he simply got one because of his connection to Ven's heart.[/b]
So despite his being branded the Keyblade's "Chosen One," he's not any more chosen than any of the other keyblade wielders. Most of the uniqueness Sora has can be accredited to a combination of his own character and circumstance as opposed to a prophetic sort of "destiny."
I do think that there's plenty to criticize about Sora, but the "Chosen One" criticism doesn't hold much water.
-- So it’s not “Once Sora’s story is finished, another hero’s story will begin”, the hero is always Sora.
Nomura: Yes. One of the concepts behind the KH series is that the main character Sora isn’t special, he’s just a normal boy. Yes he does have connections with Ventus’ heart, among others, but he hasn’t inherited anything from them. He’s just a normal boy you could find anywhere. I wanted to make Sora a character that the player could take onto themselves and feel that you don’t have to be special. But connect to many people and you will realize your secret potential. With BbS I want to make fans excited to see Sora’s return. The secret event is a symbol of that, so I hope everyone will get to see it and wait for Sora’s next adventure.
In one of Nomura's interviews (http://forums.khinsider.com/future-kingdom-hearts/147012-ultimania-full-nomura-interview.html#post4951174 ):
I bolded the important parts, both in your post and the interview.
Sora DOES have a connection to Ventus's heart, but he didn't inherit any of its ability to wield the keyblade. Another problem here is that there were TWO OTHER CANDIDATES for the Kingdom Key to have picked: Riku and Kairi. BOTH of them had the succession rite performed for them by Terra and Aqua (respectively). Sora did NOT get picked by Ventus (he only housed his heart), rather the only reason he got the keyblade was because Kairi had already lost her heart and Riku submitted to darkness. Sora got the keyblade COMPLETELY BY CIRCUMSTANCE. Which means anyone else could have been "The Chosen One."
