I semi regularly look through Deviant Art and other places for KH pictures. I'm really bored with Aqua fanart now. They keep drawing the same scenarios like Aqua getting flirted with by Zack and/or Phil, being stranded in the Realm of Darkness(while holding the wrong Keyblade most of the time), or Anti-Aqua being an edge lord. This character needs new scenarios for people to draw real bad! Too bad the wait for KH4 is taking forever and it'll probably be an even longer wait for Aqua to do new stuff, like travel more worlds and interact with new people.

That place. The place with the thing.
In KH3, I wish that, when you get to play as other characters, they could give you a chance to remap their shortcut buttons. Using magic with these characters is always jarring because everything is in a different place.

The way KH3 Sora yells "yay!!!" after doing the tree whip reaction command is so crazy. I love Sora and I love when he's stupid and excitable, but a full-on "yay!!!!" feels... really weird and out of character.

Speaking if which, I miss the old Organization XIII fanart as well as the fan made original Organization XIII characters. With the new reveals from DDD, I pretty much do not want to see them anymore as that game killed the appeal for me.

That is something that I wish would happen more often in Kingdom Hearts.

Taking story reasons aside, I genuinely find it weird how Jessie and Bullseye are just…completely absent from KH3. Was an out-of-universe reason ever given for this?

The constant overuse of the same handful of slapstick sound effects during moments of slapstick just comes across as childish. If you’re going to use cartoon sound effects for slapstick, there should at least be more variety.

So why exactly does YX wield his blue lightsaber things backwards but has a different stance with his keyblade?

Ok so,

1. Nomura says Quadranum isn't related to TWEWY despite the 104 building (which is 109 IRL)

2. Square said they actually got permission to use 109 for Neo but passed on it.

Well why not put 109 in Quadranum instead of 104 to make it more clearly distinct then?

Slightly related, this has been confusing me for years. Young Xehanort can wield a keyblade in KH3 and DDD, but the Mysterious Figure in BBS which is YX uses the blue lightsaber things. But then we learn on Dark Road that he left Destiny Islands and immediately became a keyblade wielder in Scala, so when exactly was he not able to wield one? There's a line where he tells someone he can't yet wield a keyblade, or am I crazy?

I might be getting everything confused since explanations are spread out over multiple bits in different games and the last time I played a Kingdom Hearts game after 3 in 2019 was a replay of 1FM a year later. This is how it goes, right?

Xehanort lives his entire life confined in the Destiny Islands Future Nort arrives and tells him all about his future He enters the Dark Corridor and arrives in Scala, becoming a student to Master Odin and a keyblade wielder Everyone dies → Young Xehanort travels the world, meets the Master of Masters and decides upon his path → Young Xehanort time travels to DDD?

We are meant to believe, despite it having absolutely no visual continuity, that Xehanort time-traveled when he met brown-cloak.

This really is a nitpick but goddamn I'm so mad that when we see young!Nort at the Destiny Islands, all the shacks and bridges and ladders are already built. I've always had the impression that DI was built up by the island kids and their parents.

SRK were crafty enough to be able to build a raft, so it always felt perfectly natural to me that the Destiny Islands were probably a family project... the race course especially feels like a natural extension of Sora and Riku's competitive personalities. The rickety boards and mismatched planks that cover every surface give me the impression that the island is an active (unprofessional) work in progress, not a magical place that has remained unchanged for more than a century.

It's just really stupid and robs the cast and world of a lot of implied character.

To be fair, the world's not totally unchanged, some of it is different/undeveloped in Dark Road:

I love the twist that Xehanort lived isolated in that shack. It adds a creepy "the kids found this abandoned shack and we use it as a playground now" vibe.

But moreover, I think the more egregious change in DI lore is how freaking huge and, frankly, metropolitan it looks in KH2.

While I do like the twist as well, did no one from the main island sail over there over the course of like 15 years and see the poor conditions this old person and a child were living in? Sora can see the island from his house, so it’s not like it’s all that secluded. Lol.

It's also possible that no one was on the islands at all, thanks to Dark Road's revelation that the worlds reformed first, and some of them were at a snail's pace -- and when they did, the humans were the last thing to form on the worlds. It's entirely possible Xehanort and Player lived alone on the islands for years.

But also, I mean, they did know Xehanort was there at some point. By the time Riku's a child, Xehanort leaving the islands as a kid is an urban legend, so maybe it was "that's the weird kid who lives with the elder, and now the elder is gone, let's not go to that island."

That place. The place with the thing.
The more I think about it, one of Nomura's most frustrating habits throughout the series is his tendency to introduce questions where the answer seems really obvious to fans who put two and two together based on simple logic, only for it to turn out no it's actually much more, needlessly convoluted than that whether it makes logical sense or not.

Fan: "So this Ven guy, who looks identical to Roxas- his heart has actually been inside Sora's this whole time? Ahhh, so Roxas has actually been Ven inhabiting Sora's nobody, that's the most logical route to go down".

Nomura: "Actually no, Roxas and Ven just look identical because Roxas' appearance was influenced by Ven's heart being there, but they're still totally different characters".

F: "Ooh… but then how did Roxas become his own person?"

N: "Because, you see, nobodies actually regrow their hearts after a while. That's actually the real reason the other Org members can seemingly feel emotions: they aren't remembering how their emotions felt, their hearts grew back".

F: "But then, if Roxas is his own person, shouldn't the Org members nobodies and somebodies now be seperate too? Does Lea have Axel's regrown heart trapped inside hi-"

N: "Shh-shh-shh-shhhhhh… don't think about it".
