I'd be more moved if MX suddenly became a nice guy and sacrificed (if the word even applies to MX) himself to bring Terra back.
I'm just being weird don't mind me.

That'd be pretty cool if done correctly, but Nomura will never do that. It's much more likely that Terra will sacrifice himself to bring down MX/save everyone. xD
Nomura: (laughs) Please, look forward to it.

So Terra its your turn now lol. Joinage please! In my opinion he has a generic likability about him,but there's no true substance there. He's naivety is not so much the problem for me as was the execution of his whole character and story. It just didn't have a soul to it for me. Well done execution is key in everything, and done badly it can make or break anything. In this case Terra, and BBS in general, are just broken shells of what they could have been if the writers and developers had just cared. Also Terra's robotic voice acting is another strike against his character. Bad voice work can help kill a character as well.
I suppose this is a good point. I still consider BBS to be one of the best games in the series overall, but KH1 and CoM were definitely superior in plot. BBS had a ton of potential, but didn't live up entirely to it.

Darth Vader is nothing like Terra. His sacrifice is moving because he defied enormous amounts of selfishness and corruption to save his son at the expense of his own life, going against essentially everything he is in the process. Any sacrifice on Terra's part, on the other hand, would be giving in -- he's already made it clear that he doesn't care about his own life (he asks Aqua to "put an end to [him]" instead of asking her to save him!), and that he doesn't care what it takes to reach his goals anymore. There's no struggle there, whether he's been physically freed or not -- he doesn't value himself at all anymore.
True, I suppose.
But again, Nomura is incredibly cheap and predictable. So Terra sacrificing himself would be something I can see Nomura doing quite easily.

That might be true, but he also doesn't seem particularly inclined to kill any of his characters if he has something worse he can do to them. Dead, Terra is free from the consequences of his fall to darkness; alive, he's got a big bundle of misplaced guilt and trauma and self-loathing and long-festering impotent rage to work through, which is the form Nomura's latent cynicism generally seems to take.
Perhaps. Either way is predictable of Nomura~ xD
Bump and welcome to the club our latest member, CA59
Riku failed less than Terra.
... That'd be because Riku never failed, except in KH1. In the rest of the series (bar his arguably OOC attitude in Days), he's the best male character in the series.
That's what I meant. And even then, what happened to Riku could have happened to anyone.
I never finished Days.

You have to admit though... if anything, Terra's stupidity and foolish mistakes were analyzed by Xemnas and made him a freaking genius.
True, but while Xemnas is arguably the evil version of Terra, I consider them to be two totally different characters.
I suspect that Xemnas' vast intelligence may be added into Terra when he's rescued, which would make him an incredible ally against MX.
I hope so. Though I feel like Terra being saved and MX being destroyed for good may all happen within minutes of each other.

I found this excellent post on gamefaqs
"You make a strong argument," Terra said, convinced.
"Right, so go ahead and open your heart to darkness then," Master Xehanort said, trying not to laugh.
"Because you're apparently like an uncle to me, should I simply not question your motives?" Terra asked.
Xehanort paused for a moment. "... Yes."
~~~{U}~~~
"You make a strong argument," Terra said, convinced.
"Right, so go ahead and carry my big box that's obviously full of loot all across the island," Captain Hook said, trying not to laugh.
"Because you've only got one hand and thus are defenseless, should I also fight off anyone who attempts to take it?" Terra asked.
Captain Hook paused for a moment. "... Yes."
~~~{U}~~~
"You make a strong argument," Terra said, convinced.
"Right, so go ahead and tell me your bank account details," Scrooge McDuck said, trying not to laugh.
"Because you seem like a shrewd entrepreneur, should I also give you the details of my friends' accounts too?" Terra asked.
Scrooge paused for a moment. "... Yes
