#I can't wait until KHIV but I reaaaaaaally hope content from KHUx gets released as some sort of movie

[starpendle]

I beat Kingdom Hearts III late last night. Initial thoughts and obviously major spoilers after the cut. Overall it was a really great time! It does a lot right, and I feel like a lot of passion was put into everything despite some missteps.

- I loved the resolution each Organization XIII member got after each fight, which were all hype af. 

- I might have teared up a bit at the "Guess I should have brought some ice cream" scene. The Days trio were always my favorite characters in the series, and I’m glad they got happy endings (and Isa!!) because it also feels like I wait forever for suffering characters in certain series to get a resolution but it does not seem it ends up happening for a variety of reasons or it ends up being ambiguous (which might be more frustrating).

- But about that, how did Xion come back?? Why did the Organization even need her as a puppet again? I can’t tell if this is a plot hole or something they’ll actually address... I’m just happy she is back though.

- Kairi was shafted so hard. Was a little disgusted, after all the build-up they did. 

- BBS trio being reunited too was great, and was so good to see everyone on Destiny Islands.

- The new outfits were cute too! Lea was the fashion icon I hoped he’d be.

- I’m reaaaaaally intrigued by Braig and want to check out more of KHUx but I’m not really sure if I’m feeling the mobile game... hear it’s grindy and just one gacha game (Fire Emblem Heroes) is enough for me.

- WHAT WAS THAT ENDING... so Sora disappeared probably related to what Young Xehanort said, and also what he must have done to get to Kairi. But that secret movie??? How????? Is Nomura going to reuse ideas that got scrapped for FFXV?

I may write more just because I feel like there’s other things just not immediately coming to mind right now. There’s some problems I had, but overall KHIII was well worth the wait.
