Ayo, I'm bringing this up with Merlin, too. This game really just wants to assert Yen Sid as this prominent Wizard figure in the KH series, but with all the feats Yen Sid done in his movie AND the game, when compared to Merlin, I LEGIT WANT TO BELIEVE THAT MERLIN IS FAR MORE POWERFUL THAN HIM. Merlin can see the future and even BEEN in it, he can transform anyone and himself into any kind of animal, he can make furniture and probably anything else reanimate, the mans can casually just summon a door to the past, THE MANS CAN JUST CASUALLY SUMMON A FUCKING POCKET DIMENSION FOR KAIRI AND LEA, The only thing that stopped him from turning the XBlade into Butterflies was how they reduced him to a creepy old man peddling an old book to the first onlooker he sees.
I'ma say this again, Nomura really slept on the Disney characters in place of his precious little ocs, and as a result they've become less and less relevant with each installment. IS THIS A DISNEY GAME? CAUSE AT THIS POINT I WONDER.
