Did anyone else hate Vanitas?

[terraisawesome12]

I did. Mostly because he contributed almost nothing to the plot, and was just an excuse to have another Sora clone(he should have looked like Ven). As far as I'm concerned, Nomura needs to take his shitty recolors somewhere else. Vanitas is a *lame* Sora recolor.

I hate that we didn't see him much. Hard to say how he could have been incorporated more in the story, but I feel that there could have been more. In any case, I really am not bothered by him.

Exactly this, Vanitas had way more potential that was wasted during the game.
His appearance doesn't bother me at all and the idea behind his existence is very good...it was however clearly not executed well.
On that part I agree, he should have been way more involved in the plot and let the audience see and feel his evil. Him tormenting Ven for two times at most was a beginning but certainly not enough.

Or, as a friend of mine would say:
Idea and Concept: Good!, Execution: FAIL!

Too many boss battles, not enough scenes, the character himself was fine imo. His scenes in Aqua's scenario were terrible except for the Venitas one where he came off like a psychopath wanting another keyblade war.


The scenarios in general just didn't leave good room for original KH character scenes, too much development juice went into the minigames and the multiplayer compatibility. I would rather have it on the PS2 for the extra story scenes and the extra space to be used more beneficially than multiplayer functionality in a game that allows for a non-ending stream of invincibility frames achieved by spamming dodge roll.

Did you know that Vanitas' appearance is similar to Metal Gear's character Null. But dont get me wrong, Vanitas was actually one of my favorite villains so far.

 

[Cheaken]

I really didn't like him either. He was a complete waste of potential.

 

[Toadles]

LOL, Vanitrollololololololol.

Evil-Sora: O hai guise, liek my face?

 

[Super Fly]

Vanitas was more of a B.A Sora!!!
I loved him. The way he talked was sexy. But, that's just my opinion. Oh and I really liked his fighting style!

 

[Maxyli138]

That's the problem. BECAUSE Vanitas barely contributed to the story is what upset me. He would be such an awesome antagonist if he was actually in the game more. And why should he look like Ven? Roxas has covered that already. I think it would be a lot more shocking having Vanitas look like Sora than just looking like Ven.

 

[Silva Rerum]

I loathe and despise fandom Vanitas, but canon Vanitas is okay I guess. I still don't like him, but I thought his story with Ven was interesting enough. Would have been nice to see a few more scenes between the two of them though.

 

[KeyofEvil'sBane]

honestly I think the best way to describe him is the villian you love to hate. He was such a jerk you really couldn't like him, but at the same time you really have to admire how well he does his job.

 

[kingudamu]

i kinda liked vanitas- he had so much potential...so much of it was waisted T^T...but he isnt so bad- he's better than kh1 kairi. and ToV Zagi (but everyone is better than him so...)
that venitas pic is going to give me nightmares.....

This. He's a cool villain. But he's so evil, it makes me wanna kill him. I like how he was a creep psycho who had childish Sora's appearance. And I swear, I would have gotten pissed if he turned out looking like Ven.

 

[axel95]

How could he have been more involved in the plot? Terra chased after him for his whole story expect for the last little bit, all of the Unversed came from him, and he was Aqua's and Ven's final boss (not counting final episode)? I loved him, he was what Sora should have been (except Sora would be a warrior of light).

 

[Radar]

He was a freakin evil version of Sora with black hair and golden eyes. He wears a mask to cover his face. His outfit is badass. The way he talks is badass. He is like a sociopath and takes pleasure in hurting ventus and aqua. I love the freakin guy.

I just wish he turned against MX or something.

I think he's too good for that old trope.

Who could hate

Spoiler Show

 

[Relix]

sh!t load of battles, little to no relevant cutscenes, and they still love me more than you Ven.

u mad?

 

[Z3N]

You kiddin' me?

He was my favorite character out of BBS simply for his psychotic personality. (And he's "evil Sora"...that just makes me giggle like a lunatic.)

Makes me wonder what a scenario through his point of view would be liiike~ Hmmm... <3
Ah well.
I can fantasize, can't I?
