...this.... is.... comical. Like... oh my god. The fact that Kairi not only gets her ass handed to her AGAIN, the only way she can defeated Xehanort is to turn into... Sora? Wh-h-haaa-hahahahahaha?!?!?!
oh my god, what the actual living fuck is this bullshit? Dude... Nomura.... why? I'm seriously asking... why? Like, I know people are over this opinion being stated over and over again. I know a lot of fans are sick and tired of Kairi at point. Believe me guys, as a Kairi fan (not even sure I can call myself that at this point), I get it.... But like... dude, its RIGHT THERE. It's not THAT hard. A literal monkey with a stick up its ass could write something more compelling. The literal potential for her to be one of the best and strongest characters in the series and EVERY SINGLE TIME Noruma just throws her away. I don't understand. I don't get it. What is this guy's beef with this character? If you don't care about her, then why do any of this? Why market her as the main character? Why put her in the title screen of Re:mind and MoM? Why tease her at the end of DDD only for her to get killed? Why try and get on good graces with the fans by making her playable and teasing her involvement in the next saga, only to pull this literal sexist trash? Like dude, I've never called Noruma a sexist before, I just think he doesn't know how to write female characters properly, but Kairi... holy shit... LITERALLY turning into Sora and teaming with Riku AGAIN as the only way defeat Xehanort is the biggest red flag. I thought that was a joke when I read it. Holy shit man, how do you fuck up this badly?
And not only that, she gets benched AGAIN. Why can't she be apart of DDD2? It makes no sense at all. Like, I love Riku. I really do but I don't want another game with him and Mickey and possibly meeting Totally-Not-Riku. I'm so over it. Having a Riku/Kairi would've changed up the dynamic a bit for interesting character interaction and some SRK moments we haven't gotten since KINGDOM HEARTS 2 ...but NOPE. Can't have anything interesting happening in Kingdom Hearts. We have to make sure Riku and Totally-Not-Riku meet up, so Totally-Not-Riku can have a game in Totally-Not-Final-Fantasy-Versus-13. What'd you say? Other characters? BBS2? Roxas game? Kairi game? Union Cross Remake? Pft, fuck those guys. Fuck interesting character development and pairings. We need more games involving Xehanort who btw is fucking and irrelevant. Who needs those, am I right? .... god... DAMN IT
Why does Kingdom Hearts do this? Why is it constantly shooting itself in the foot? Why does Nomura insist on doing whatever he wants with no regard for what fans actually want. I'm not saying him as a writer can't write the story how he feels but this... dude... idk, I had some faith in the future of this story after KH3 and Re: mind (somewhat) but after this, Dark Road, all the theories surrounding Yozora, and now DDD2 confirmed to be just another Riku outing... I'm finding it really REALLY hard to care anymore. Like, I'm at a breaking point. This was the perfect game to set up Kairi for having the next overarching arc the same as Riku but he refuses to take the first step. Sora and Riku didn't need to be benched like she is right now. They just went on there journeys and learned as they go. There is no reason Kairi can't do the same and this is where I feel like either the ignorant part of Noruma or the sexist part of Noruma comes out bc there is no reason Kairi needs more training when she helped defeat ARMORED XEHANORT. Sora and Riku have faced less on there first journeys and didn't need training until DDD. So I'm starting to think Noruma just does not care at all. And if so, why even make this marketing surrounding Kairi and her backstory if you're not going to do ANYTHING with it or her. That's the real kicker, is that her backstory has nothing to with anything. It's really not all that relevant to finding to Sora as far as I can tell, SO WHAT IS THE POINT?!?!
Like, they have to know this is going to piss people off. Maybe not everyone, some are just numb to the pain and disappointment, but others like me that have some bit of hope for at least a good set up to Kairi's arc? There is no way they are not going to flip out over this. Again, Kairi TURNS INTO SORA as the only way to stop the bad guy. Like, Noruma, my bro, that is not a good look dude. Like, at all. I'm not a woman and even I'm pissed at this, I can only imagine female fans reaction to something like that. Like, that is beyond parody.
Oh yeah, and just throwing away any potential BBS2. Which fine... whatever. And Aqua training Kairi is logical, it's just not exciting since we're never going to ser that. Honestly, the only saving grace for any of this right is KH4 being packed with a lot of plot but given the way KH3 ended up, my hope is starting waver and I won't even be shocked anymore if Kairi gets killed or benched. That's what little faith I have now. My hope in this franchise's story is basically on life support. And I swear if most of the relevant story is saved for the very end, I'm going to lose my mind.
I don't know man.... what is there to say at this point that everyone else hasn't already said?
kh dun goofed it again bruh lawl
Like at point, I think Noruma needs to step away from this franchise. Or just spin-off a Yozora franchise like you want and just write that forever. Idk man but it's very clear why I liked Final Fantasy 7 Remake so much. Bc he was solely the director and that was it but KH refuses to have anything compelling or interesting happen to any of its characters right now besides Riku. Kingdom Hearts has so much potential story wise to be more then it is. The only thing I can do is hope SOMETHING changes. This makes VERY upset but, surprisingly, I'm not giving up on it yet. Idk if that makes me loyal or stupid or both but I see too much good in this franchise to completely abandon it. But at this point, something seriously needs to change.
KH can't go on making stupid decisions like this forever. Because even diehard have a breaking point. But since this is mostly Kairi goofs and not stupid plot stuff, I think most fans are going stomach through this. Bc Kairi goofs are, sadly, to be expected But Kairi fans? Dude... idk guys. Can't say its over just yet, she is getting training with Aqua so while the fuck knows at this point but I refuse to get hype for her doing anything ever again until the writers decide to do ANYTHING WITH HER.
