it's not cliche. i tihnk you need to use that word etter.
i'd rather want kh take itself seriosuly and not give so much fanservice. seriously, donald and goofy will join sora, and not because they need to, but because they like to
You're right, cliche is a bit too strong. But it would just be SO repetitive and unneccessary. Donald and Goofy had a legitimate reason to fight alongside Sora in KH1, KH COM, and KH2. They wanted to find King Mickey and return home. I suppose they would want to help Sora in his new adventure, but who said they'd know Sora is going on a journey?
