Kingdom Hearts must be one of the most distorted game series, even with its own fans. The conspiracy lines are incorrectly interpreted, the characters are incorrectly characterized, the unsettled games are written as no canon … The list continues and then.
But how many of this is actually true? Usually it is not much of it. I looked at the most common misconceptions around the series and I am going to remedy these myths. Yes, mainly because I am ill when I see these misconceptions offered as true and I need to fix the record, but also because I want You Know the truth and also spread it.
The story is too confusing on it
Kingdom Hearts has a continuing narrative, so you have to commit if you want the whole picture, and I understand that most people growing did not have PlayStation 2, GBA and DS, etc. But we no longer live in 2006, people.
Kingdom Hearts do not expand to many different consoles. You can play and watch movies almost all in the All-in-One package. If you all go through them in order of release, you will be fine. That's exactly what I did.
Nobodies Growing Hearts is Retcon
No one loves throwing the word “Retcon” around more than Kingdom Hearts fans. Have you ever heard of a character who did not know full of the truth or villain who lied because they are, do you know, villain? Obviously not …
When it was explicitly confirmed at a dream distance so that Nobodies could grow heart, many fans immediately shouted “Retcon!” But do you not remember all the times of Axel and Roxas showed real emotions, even though they are Nobodies? DIZ and Xemnas are those who said that Nobodies did not have a heart – and they are not completely credible on this topic.
There may only be one Keyblade Master
A large number of misconceptions of Kingdom Hearts are happening due to incorrect translations in English localization, which is exactly what happened here. In the first game, Riku Taunts Sora says there may be only one Keyblade Master, but after the games introduce more Keyblade masters, and lead fans, again Cry Retcon.
Not only did we not believe the riku – Mr. knew only about keyblades for about ten minutes, so he is definitely not an expert on this topic – but we should also look at the original Japanese dialogue. What Riku said is more: “We don't need two heroes,” – it's not expressly about Keyblade Wielders.
Donald doesn't know how to heal
If you have been in the Kingdom Hearts online, you probably have heard that “Donald is not treated” says several times than you can count. I know I have. Although may not always come to the clutch when you need it, you can Make it a better healer and easily.
All you have to do is adjust its AI in the menu. Let it use more healing magic, give him more potions and voila. Donald can heal you. Now we all get out of his case – trying, okay?
Sora can control the Keyblade due to Ventus
For some reason, there are people who believe that Sora can control Keyblade, because Ventus was in his heart during the heart of the kingdom 1. It's a bit of sense – Sora was not referred to control the Keyblade Aqua – just Rika gave it Terra – so Keyblade Wielder inside his heart.
But this is no reason why Sora can control Keyblade, although Aqua has not received much. When the fateful islands fell and riku reached out to join him to join him, Sora touched Riku's light in the dark, and at the moment Keyblade passed him.
Nomura confirmed this in Ultimania: “At that moment, Sora enters the darkness and the light she sees inside is Rikovo's heart. Sora, which saved in the dark to save the hornbeam, touched light and temporarily gained key from the claim.”
Riku and Sora fought for Kairi
Riku's motivation in Kingdom Hearts 1 is one of the most misunderstood parts of the whole series. Many fans believe that he fell in love with Kairi and competed with Sora for her affection – that's why the competition of sharing the fruit of Paop with her.
If you lose a race and talk to the riku, he says the Parop thing was a “joke” – just did it to run Sora.
But this motivation really does not equal with his actions, right? He voluntarily leaves Kairi for the fateful islands; When Sora asks where he is, Rashly says, “She will come with us,” although she was not found anywhere.
His true motivation is rooted in jealousy and the feeling that his best friend leaves him behind. The replica of Riku quite briefly summarizes Riku's feelings in KH1 when talking to Sora in the chain of memories:
Riku Replica: Sora - you're always trying to worm your way into my heart!
Sora: Hold on! When did I ever do that?
Riku Replica: Hmph, you forgot that, too? You never cared! It never mattered to you!
King Mickey left Aqua in the Empire of Darkness for ten years
Although it is fun to imagine that King Mickey, the face of Disney, has left Aqua in the realm of darkness for decades, because he could not bother to go and save her yet, it is not just true.
In fact, Mickey did not even know that Aqua was in the realm of darkness for most of the time he was stuck there. Add the fact that Yen Sid has forbidden Mickey to go on the pole itself because it was too dangerous, and there wasn't much to do that Mickey could do.
Only Kingdom Hearts could let me prevent Mickey Mouse actions, what…
Kingdom Hearts 3 took 13 years
The gap between the dates of the Kingdom Hearts 2 and Kingdom Hearts 3 is just over 13 years, which has led many fans to the assumption that developments on KH3 took place all the time. This is not entirely true.
While KH3 was elaborated after KH2, KH3 did not get into development only a few years later, and it was officially announced only in 2013. The development team of sleep, 358/2 of the day, dream distance, overturning and mobile titles worked between the two games.
That is why waiting for Kingdom Hearts 4 is pulling more than ever, because after starting KH3, only the melody of memory and later episode Dark Road occurred.
Disney worlds are just a fill
Although Disney is such a prominent part of Kingdom Hearts, there is still a predominant belief that the visit of the worlds is just a fill, designed to inflate the game until you get into real The story at the end. I admit that it may sometimes feel, but almost all Disney worlds have purpose.
It is especially the most obvious in KH3, but Disney Worlds and the characters are designed to parallel what is happening in an umbrella narrative. They give you an insight into character motifs and can even pretend events. There is a reason why some Disneysian worlds do not watch the story of the original film at all.
Hikaru Ustada songs have nothing to do with the story
Kingdom Hearts from Hikar Ustada – simple and clean, shrines, facing my fears and not think twice – they are as iconic as the series itself. Despite the fact that there are many fans in the holes and ends of games, they still think that their texts have nothing to do with what is happening in KH narration.
In fact, it could not have been from the truth. Nomura confirmed in the interview that she gives the notes Utada. When he talked about writing a sanctuary, he said, “This time I wrote an explanation for her that is longer than the previous game. We decided to play it on the last scene, so for me the topic” Sora and Rik's Reunion “. I wrote things like “a picture of reunion, happy moment” and “like Hikari 2”. ”
