Okay, so first of all this is all [tumblr.com profile] hawk-in-a-tree‘s fault for getting me to watch gameplay videos and getting me attached to all the characters. 
 
I’ve only been through KH1, Chain of Memories, KH2, 358/2 Days, and part of Birth By Sleep (specifically, Terra’s and Ven’s routes, but not Aqua’s), so please no one reblog this with spoilers for other games! I will get there eventually and then you all can yell at me about the full canon!
 
So, in no particular order:
 
  • Sora is too goshdarn young for this, people need to stop encouraging him to repress his emotions, and also he needs actual training/instruction in Keyblade-related history
  • Riku is precious and I feel so bad for him because he was just a kid who made a few mistakes that snowballed, but gosh did those mistakes have some impressive collateral damage (I still love him though)
  • Kairi needs more love from canon
  • All of the Nobodies, Replicas, and assorted other “not-real” people are valid and human and Square Enix needs to stop killing them.
  • In particular Repliku deserved better than having someone else’s memories forced on him 
  • I read a fic before watching the games and as a result I have a special amount of sympathy for Vanitas. Also, I mean, he spent years with Xehanort.
  • The whole thirty-Ansem-pileup thing messed me up pretty good.  I had to ask hawk-in-a-tree to check my understanding of which one was which after KH2.
  • I can’t believe the sheer number of times they made ice cream a plot point
  • Axel is absolutely 100% what you’d call my trash fave.  Gosh I love him but he makes terrible decisions.
  • I can’t believe anyone ever gave Even custody of a child.  Why? Someone remove Ienzo from his care please.
  • Ven deserved nothing that happened to him. Neither did Terra. I’m actually still trying to figure out which one horrifies me more.
  • Confusing me further is the fact that Leonard Nimoy played Xehanort, and thus even as I loathed the character I absolutely loved his voice.  
  • I want to touch Marluxia’s hair; it looks extremely fluffy. I was very distracted by that thought through the entire boss fight.
  • Namine’s powers are straight-up terrifying
  • Actually pretty much all of Chain of Memories was just a head-trip that I really wasn’t expecting to be intense to the degree that it was
  • I’ve entered the FF7 fandom via fic and Advent Children so every FF7 cameo killed me, but Zack’s, in particular, killed me dead. (It’s baby Crisis Core Zack look at him he’s so innocent and he just wants to idolize someone…)
  • I’m really baffled that I have this many feelings about a franchise in which Donald Duck and Goofy are main characters, and yet here we are
