What would you say is the most, ahem, 'horrifying' aspect of the series?

[Eventua]

I merely ask this because, apparently, some people find it scary: Kingdom Hearts - Television Tropes & Idioms

I personally, have always found the Heartless, while cute, to be just a bit creepy: the scene near the start of KH1, where they chase down some random civilian and steal his heart: it was practically like out of some kind-a zombie movie, only instead of blood and ripped up entrails, we get a glowing love heart... -facepalm-

Overall, I've never really been scared by the series, but perhaps others feel differently?

 

[HeartSeams]

I haven't been scared by the series at all, but, I suppose there are some elements that, if you were to think on them, are kind of creepy.

Creepy, not scary though.

 

[Lavender13]

i think end of the world was just a little scary, it was huge and the music was really getting to me. but i was young at the time, i find it intriguing now.

There's not really a lot about Kingdom Hearts I find scary, though there are quite a few things I find a bit disturbing.

It's mostly just stuff like the Uncanny Valley-type movements that the Nobodies make, or the staring corpse expression they've used a couple of times (Riku Replica in CoM, Ven in the Bbs secret movie from KH2FM+).

Oh, and Xehanort and his Heartless's possession of Terra and Riku. Not just because being a prisoner in one's own body is horrifying, but also because of the abusive, sexually-tinged behavior of those two villains.

I never thought of anything in Kingdom Hearts as scary, but i guess the thought of heartless taking over worlds and peoples hearts is kinda disturbing

This. The pedophilia aspects creep me out a little bit, I s'pose. I find nothing scary about the games though, that's crazy.

You're so witty. I think I'll agree to this one as well.

 

[Realm Walker]

Nothing really scares me about Kingdom Hearts...except maybe the fanbase.

I agree. The only time I ever felt scared while playing KH was during Re:CoM, when Axel set Repliku on Zexion and said in this really creepy voice, "You just found out way too much!" I think it was a combination of the way he said it and the demonic grin on his face that made me want to drop my controller and hide under the bed. Playing KH2 and Days, I think people (myself included) tend to forget that Axel is NOT the kind of person that you'd want angry with you.

But that's the only time. Usually, I'm not scared, just disturbed. Especially when I learned the full extent of Master Xehanort's plans for Terra. MX, you are a complete and utter creep who does not deserve to exist, even in the realm of fiction! UGGGGGGH.

Nothing really scares me about Kingdom Hearts...except maybe the fanbase.

LOL, this too.

nomura ditching aquas backless design, that was truly horrifying.

 

[KingdomKey]

I agree the time in RE:COM with Axel having the weird look on his face telling the Replica to destroy Zexion was kind of creepy.

But other then that in KH1 I thought it was scary seeing that one guy in the second or third district heart taken by a heartless, the look on his face was just... creepy. If I was Sora I think I would be running away from the heartless.

 

[Taochan]

Nothing about KH was ever scary to me, but the first time I saw the Dusks in KH2 was creepy. D: Just the way they moved... without having any eyes or anything... Oh, and the pedophilia. XD

Same. And you have to manage to walk out by yourself because the wall is invisible.

Axel killed Vexen in Chain of Memories

 

[DiceKiller]

The only thing I sorta find creepy are those Dark ball heartless, only because they kinda remind me of the Langoliers, which freaked me out when I was little.

 

[gelandporn]

Axel killed Vexen in Chain of Memories

Good to know .

 

[Crystal]

Axel killed Vexen in Chain of Memories

This is scary too, and the scene where Zexion being killed D:

People saying things like that is even more horrifying. D=

Well, its good to see this discussion was ultimately kind of pointless, because no one here is genuinely scared of a game ultimately aimed at tweens!
Gues we've got to many guts for that!
