I understand the symbolism with ram skull helmet Nomura... I get it.. But why heels? What are you trying to imply? even armored xehanort phase has heels wtf , who told him to not put heels on men

of all characters he can put on heels it has to be old nort

Spoiler Show

Heels were, when they were first invented, made specifically for men. Wearing them showed that you had a higher status than the average peasant, and they also aided in riding horses. It's odd to think about but things were very different went it came to fashion hundreds of years ago. Hell when Pink colored clothing was first coming around it was considered a manly color.

With Ava being the only missing Foretellers from the Credits, her parallel with Strelitzia not being in her rightful place might be even stronger. Some people also pointed out that Nameless Star is grouped with Union X-primary people, namely Ephemera and Chirithy.

I just realized Sora still hasn't thanked Naminé. Sora, I know you disappeared but that's no excuse. Do it. She's back now. She's picking up seashells with Xion and needs to be thanked.

At the risk of beating a dead horse... MX's fate is easily the biggest insult in the game, if not the series.

In multiple games, he dismissively subjected people to fates-worse-than-death left and right. Yet he himself gets nothing but a stern talking-to and a peaceful "death" (without even so much as apologizing to TAV, or something)? Yeah, glad I waited all these years for that.

If "time-traveling Horcruxes" was the straw that broke the camel's back, then this euthanized the camel altogether.

And then stereotypes brainwashed the majority of genders to follow a norm. Until someone stood against the crowd, inspiring other insecure beings to wear whatever made them happy.
First time I saw Sora's outfit in the E3 trailer 2015, it looked like it was reddish pink.

Back on topic.
The climax shall be fun to play through, better prepare myself for that secret ending.

Uh, just one thing:

Spoiler Show

What is "Nameless Star"?

From the sound of it, it could be related to "No Name" aka the Goatblade?

Or is it a nickname for Strelitzia?

Wait a minute, isn't there in the opening a purple star that reflects in Xehanort's eyes?

Butchers to avoid bloods, IIRC? To add to his kingly/superiority motif? That is plausible and interesting, thank you.

Still,

Spoiler Show

Demyx, Luxord, Larxene and Marluxia are not seen in the ending despite we get to see Said, who is already returned to be Isa and Vexen, who is already Even again. I wonder if they would be part of the epilogue?

 

[Squood!]

I just realized we're still missing a huge part of the picture.

And by that I mean literally the entire game aside from the beginning, end, and like about four scenes.

 

[U.N. Owen]

If you're playing leaked scenes out in public, don't have your ear bud audio up so loud that people across the hospital break room can hear the characters clearly. Thank you, co-worker I don't know but really want to throw his computer into the toaster.

I like how Xehanort doesn't simply turn into a dragon or a spaceship. Sure, it might not feel as climactic as Xemnas or Ansem, but it makes senses thematically. Xehanort doesn't need to show a kaiju form since he knows Xemnas and Ansem were beaten in kaiju form. Xehanort is nuts but he's not that nuts.

I don't think Hamil voiced Xehanort. I heard the voices and they don't even resonate properly

Oh, he definitely didn't. The guy from Blade Runner did.

The best part of the ending is that Xion's new outfit is really cute.

Judging from the trailers....
1: When Sora talks to Chirithy
2: When Demyx come to RG
And spoilers.

Spoiler Show

3: Where Demyx betrayed the organization and killed
4: when vexen is also busted and killed

cmiiw

I watched Sora/Kairi romantic scene at the work and I'm having a hard time controlling myself.
I've waited so long for a scene like that and even though they didn't kiss, it felt so satisfying.

The ending is awesome too, but I still think it's unnecessary to have both Roxas and Ventus alive since they look like each other.

I feel like this comment misses the entire point of the series lol.

They're entirely different, unique people with separate lives and meaningful relationships despite looking the same.

Allow me to go a bit more in depth[and by that I mean not much depth].

Aside from the beginning[like literally the first scene and the tutorial], the endgame[RoD to Scala], and about four to five or so scenes, we have nothing on the rest of the game.

Basically, they're the equivalent of twin brothers.

Yeah, and you wouldn't advocate for one twin to die just because they look the same lmao

Spoiler Show

I never said they weren't. That doesn't mean I want two characters looking like each other walking around, they aren't real twins. I would feel the same if Riku Replica survived.

 

[U.N. Owen]

I've seen the Ansem the Wise leaks and can't help but shake a feeling that Hayner's voice feels a bit off. It's as if someone was trying to do a post-puberty Greg Heffley impression in some lines.

...uh, Not true. These Fashion trends showed up during the god damn European Dark Age. The most conservative and religion focused period in human history. All it is, is just fashion trends changing overtime. It's been a thing since ancient Greece.
