I'm not sure how many people really think about it but Kingdom Hearts uses a lot of symbolism many people know this as many authors writers of any type tend to do this but Kingdom Hearts does it in such a unique way that I can really only compare texting you no more to a writer or director like David Lynch in fact you ever go through a lot of David Lynch's work and then the more is there's an interesting amount of them and similarities the same with t tak similarities Tite kubo's bleach a lot of the symbolism in theme seems to really move Kingdom Hearts for example a lot of stuff is never expanded upon or solved because it is clearly up to us the players interpretation and it hits the mind and allows one to think it allows us to really think about it for example you could use rakunan some you can use it as multiple metaphors for example one you could say Riku is defeating a child predator or a child attacker it's an easy way to look at it depending on your point of view as Kingdom Hearts really isn't a kids game sure it's got kid appropriate characters but character such as Mickey Donald and Goofy and let me be honest the Final Fantasy aspect has a huge part of it to some will dismiss it is poor writing but the thing is namora writes in an abstract way on purpose a way that's normal audiences might not really get many details and interpretations are there for the audience could you say that this is more the fault of square in Disney for allowing nomura to use and more Lynch in take on a series featuring characters like Mickey Mouse or cloud really Disney uses what's called a star cast for a star system which allows you to put them into I noticed a lot of this happening and a lot of the criticisms towards namora usually end up very uninformed because people don't understand that a lot of is it is up to the players interpretation or a lot of the times it's just flat-out said or explained or nemora and square literally give easy answers 4 these questions such as the data books or the ultimate has which advics pants and stuff or adding extra scenes into the Final Mix version a lot of it is explained and what is an explained in makes us question so it's pretty clear that it's on purpose and a part of me is always got a lot of excitement although many people seem to have a lot of contempt for it or a hatred for Kingdom Hearts for doing this but let's be honest the fact that it doesn't hold your hand is one of the most Charming things about the Kingdom Hearts series and one of its best assets because it allows us the player to interpret things or it allows us to really want to understand the things that happen within the series much symbolism is there and I'm glad to see many people are starting to make YouTube videos about it and are starting to talk more about it from religious metaphors to symbolism and Final Fantasy which kingdom hearts spawned from so when it comes down to it I've always liked the way it shapes it going through a lot of the symbolisms and metaphors messages off the top of my head would take forever but I love how it's shaped the series ended and a narrative that always keeps the player guessing it always makes us intrigued or want more and let's be honest how many series really do that a lot of the times a series will give us answers or an ending that just isn't satisfying or it'll fizzle out Kingdom Hearts has yet to do that because of how many twists and turns that uses and how well they are when you realize the devil is in the details that's all for now
