So is Naminè like...permanently dead or something?
I've never seen this much erasure of a female character whose influences expanded to legit every game aside from BBS and DDD. Nomura must really hate her.
Why even have her on the cover? She's the only one missing from the OP end. It's confusing. You either acknowledge her completely or don't acknowledge her at all.
Oh, right, the OP. I wasn't actually that impressed. I'm so tired of the trio bs, but it's literally like every OP we've had so far. Except shortened when it comes to scenes. I wouldn't even truly call it a recap, more like a quick summary of the series that skips some essential aspects. Add in some chess imagery and that's...pretty much it. The good thing is the song is better than first thought! I like it now.
KH2 remains the best opening imo. The enchanting, clean, simple transitions that flowed with the music has something magical about it that was not replicated ever again.
