Okay, so let's see... Gameplay-wise, Kairi: * Has a barrier and a reprisal. * Can warp-strike like Noctis. * Has access to all the game's magic, including Grand Magic. * Has a Shotlock. * can use a Sonic Blade-like attack. Story-wise, Kairi: * Was able to stop a charging Xion. * Was able to go toe-to-toe with Xemnas, even BREAKING his Ethereal Blades (something neither Roxas nor Xion could do in that same scene) and forcing him on the defensive for a bit until he was forced to trap both her and Sora in an energy field. * Was able to face off against a copy of Armored Xehanort with Sora's help. (Fun fact: According to the Kingdom Hearts Wiki, the Armored Xehanort Sora and Kairi fight isn't the real Xehanort, but the Replica Xehanorts fused into a copy of Armored Xehanort, which kinda explains why Xehanort is strangely silent in cutscenes). All this begs the question: What kinda training did Merlin put this girl through? (Edit: I rewatched the scene with Xion. Kairi didn't push Xion back. Xion pushed Kairi back. Still pretty awesome though.)
A Random Person Dying as her sure sucks, but still it was fun playing as her, And her gameplay fits her well She is a graceful woman and her attacks shows us that, and her lines while attacking Show’s that she’s trying to do her best like saying “please work”, and the reason why her health Is so low, is that she’s (not to sound sexist or anything) a kind and sweet girl, of course her health is low It fits her character perfectly well
This just proves they need to give Kairi her own story. Her moveset is absolutely amazing. I've been waiting forever for her to be playable. She's my most favorite underrated character from kingdom hearts.
I hope Kairi becomes a playable character in the future with her own gameplay story. I think we might explore her dreams as kairi with dream eaters trying to find Sora. If Yozora ever meets Kairi he will probably confuse her as his girl and take Kairi. So excited for a Kairi game
Same I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I love Kairi and KH so much. Its such a inspiring and special series for me and I'm sure it's the same for a lot of other people too. KH means a lot to me and it would be so awesome ans kickass if we get a Kairi game which I'm pretty sure we are. Kairi's gonna go save Sora this time for sure. Let's go Kairi let's go! Also I wish we could play as Terra, Lea and xion too
Tetsuya Nomura said that a hint about the next game in the series was in the new title screen for Re:Mind....which features Kairi. I think you're probably on to something.
I just thought about something. Now that all 3 of our original main characters, Sora, Riku, and Kairi, have all acquired Keyblades, learned how to fight, and have pretty much been separated again, maybe for one of the next KH games they might decide to go the Birth By Sleep route with them, and release a game where they each have their own story to complete, where you can interact with each and develop them before they all come back together. Sound like a potential idea?
LitRim1 i love this idea, I thought of something similar instead of and individual you go through the story with the different trios together (wayfarer, sea salt, destiny island)
The ending kinda hits at that riku's dream (him in the secret ending) and when they show kairi when she's sleeping she they show the final world, i think that she'll meet the nameless start and meet up with riku and sora. Plus the Japanese voice actors want a game where the 3 of them journey together
This could be the next game. Riku searching for sora in the final world or his dream, kairi in her dreams (most like khddd, with dreameaters and stuff), and sora maybe in the reapers game or something like that. This could be the best game of the franchise (at least in my opinion)
@@keonhazel2799 that actually sounds perfect with maybe a special story for yozora that can only be unlocked after beating the game and/or collecting some sort of object on each story
One thing to take note, She's more a exty to Sora than many who make her Aqua or Dead Fantasy clones, She can warp, do a barrier like some guards, her quick step is more akin to Terra's than a cartwheel or dodge roll, and has Grand Magic *looks at the Re Mind Title Screen and what the Q&A* Could Kairi be taking the stage until Sora returns?
I hope so, maybe get training from the other wielders of light. Theres a ton of routes Kingdom Hearts can go down, I'm waiting for the day where you can custom make keyblades or cobble together unique parts to forge your own perfect keyblade stat and combo wise.
@@goatcatofchaos Ven definitely needs another time to shine. He's been so pivotal to the entire series that it seems like he got shafted in KH3. I mean, we can't even play as him in the DLC.
Well I mean, not that it matters; she has the same sort of combat shorts Aqua has. Though it does make you wonder who the hell it was that programmed her model in KH2 PS2...because I still can't believe THAT happened.
Back in KH2 on PS2, where in The World That Never Was, before the final battle where everyone stands, if you move the camera to Kairi closely, pass through her skirt, you'll see her underwear.
Love all the positive comments for Kairi. She needs all the love that's been due to her. There's too many Kairi haters out there. Hope they put a whole lot of love in her character and her fighting style in the next game. They did a good job in Remind. Only wished we got to choose her in the Saix fight too. But it was a good start.
I wouldn’t say she gets a lot of hate, more like people calling out the developers for neglecting her for all these years (and still continuing to do so).
@@handsoaphandsoap Can't agree more, the issue is really how they underused her, ReMind did her finally some justice but in base KH3 she and Lea are really underuse she does 1 fight, get easily kidnap and get "killed". Which was a huge disappointment considering they were build up her as a usefull character since DDD's secret ending, give her a special training (which I quote is in a place out of time and space (think the time room in DBZ)) all for basically nothing. Anyway glad she finally get some badass moment and hoping Square will continue making her badass in future game.
I heard that Nomura apologized for not making Kairi useful. He basically got the writer's block and was working on making Kairi more of a character and less of a damsel in distress. Unfortunately, I don't have a source to back it up but it's something I heard. Also, I agree with all the positive comments on Kairi and I've grown sick and tired of all the idiots who have been calling her useless. Now they can finally shut up about her.
2:33 that dodge movement is similar to Terra's Sliding dash, so essentially Riku has Aqua's movement and also being somewhat OP with his Dark Firaga which can dish out a ton of damage, Kairi has Terra's Movement, and Sora has Ven's movement.
Neat little thing i noticed: Seven Wishes looks a lot like the lightside equivalent of Rikus dark aura. The startup is nearly identical, and the rushes and all are very similar too.
This series needed a female bruiser character, what with Xion, Aqua, and Larxene relying more on magic and agility, and I feel like it makes sense with Kairi's personality (especially in the first game)
Kairi does really feel the most up to date of the playable characters from remind, i really hope they build upon this on the next game which is most likely going to be a Kairi game finally :)
Arsio12 they are planning at least 1 in between game before KH4. I would love a solo protagonist Kairi game but would settle for her share the spotlight with Riku. This two really need more interactions.
@@CrystalArtest Considering how Re Mind's Limit Cut ended I'm betting on a shared Kairi and Riku game. Would love to see those 2, and later Sora as well, to just talk and hang out like friends again.
@@Arsio12 I think Riku may be her mentor at this point, because he's a master, he and Sora do have the most Keyblade experience since we've adventured with them the most, and Aqua's with Ven and Terra in the Realm of Darkness. Despite the training Merlin put her under, Kairi is still more or less a beginner with the Keyblade, hence why it makes sense to have someone she knows, and has a Keyblade and actual experience under his belt show her the ropes.
@@Arsio12 And hopefully like a little time skip with Riku being sort of like a teacher for those who are struggling with their darkness, and since Sora and Kairi shared the Paopu in the base game, and the Re:Mind artwork, I think they may as well get married.
David Timmer if you have looked up the mythology symbolism behind their one heart team attack I believe Nomura pretty much considers them together without explicitly stating it. The dove wings are likely inspired by the Jian birds of Chinese mythology. They only have one wing and cannot fly without finding a mate. If you pause the game right before they actually take off and attack you can clearly see that Kairi and Sora each form a single wing and attack together. The Jain bird is supposed to symbolize the eternal bond between husband and wife, so that makes this attack even more adorable ❤️
Thanks you for such a wonderful breakdown of Kairi's moveset! Your attention to detail is inspiring, it's so cool to see all the little things that are otherwise easy to miss during battle. I'm especially fond of all the names of her moves! 💗
Thanks for the analysis 👍🏽 ! I didn't expected Kairi, as a Keyblade Wielder novice, to have such stylish movements ! She has to be playable again in the next game !
I love kairi’s fighting style, her attacks, and her moves while you’re playing her in the game against the final battle Xehanort. I hope someone can play her in the next Kingdom Hearts game and I can’t waited when it’s made and comes out.
Seeing how strong of a fighter Kairi is makes me so sad that she's so often relegated to either a support role or a damsel. Her princess of light status is fine and all but I want to see more from her. Hopefully next game (that's not the Xehanort focused title) will give us a more fleshed out Kairi playable experience.
Her attacks are pretty and cute :) As for her diverse move set, I'm hoping she gets to go on her own adventure bc she needs to find out more about her past and make new friends lol
This was such a dope breakdown to see for Kairi, omg!! I'm so happy!! Kairi deserves to shine and fight too, and I'm glad she has so much as a Keyblade wielder! And I can't wait to see where else her journey will take her.
She also has access to the more impressive barrier with the hexagonal pattern. Something Sora can only access with his drive forms, otherwise he just uses regular blocking. Sora and Riku have to work their way up to using more powerful magic but she can use top tier magic in her only-two fresh-out-of-training-and-thrust-into-war battles. I get the feeling she’s OP in the magic department given her…What? Limitless supply of light? Meanwhile all her physical attacks have her pulling back and rushing forward in some regard, like she is throwing her entire weight behind her attacks. Where the boys, or at least Sora, is just constantly forcing others back or aside or away with a few hits without retreating at all.
Her shotlock alludes to Sora's Ultima and her charm. While Sora's Ultima shotlock alludes to Trinity Limit of the previous games because the similar fashion (both summons an orb of light that eliminates all enemies at sight.)
The fact that her moveset is so diverse and she is the only character beside Sora with the dive animation, it really makes me think she'll be the next lead character in the next game before kh4.
@@monokomomo4977 Not forever as Sora is the franchise lead, but for the game between 3 and 4. She is basically the only character who hasn't had a game to flesh out her character, so to have a game where she is the lead is not so farfetched. And her moveset is so much more diverse, that it looks like they prepped for her to have all the moves necessary for her own adventure.
@@kristenverne4944 Hell, Dream Drop Distance, even though Sora was still playable, wasn't really the main focus. Dream Drop Distance was Riku's game, and by extension 358/2 Days was Roxas' game, BBS, BBS Sora wasn't playable at all, because he was 4 years old at the time. And with the moveset Kairi has, her getting her own game's not outta the question.
After seeing the team attack I will forever believe that either kairi or sora is the child of one of the crisis core first class trio. I see Kairi being Genesis daughter and Sora being Angeal's son.
Dang, the dive attack animation really snuck its way past me. Had no idea 😂. Great breakdown as always 👏🏾! According to Nomura in the 13 Darknesses Interview, the Re:Mind main menu art is a piece of foundation for the next game. Combine that with Fairy Godmother's nod toward "...the other two" (one hopefully being Kairi, seeing as the camera pans to her right after that quote), and it seems like she'll become an even more fleshed out playable character in the next game, with this fight aiming to make strides in an initial base gameplay repertoire 🤔🤷🏿♂️
I've noticed that her movement is a bit awkward probably because of her skirt and the fact that if she could move more freely there might be upskirts. I wish she had something more like Aqua and her bodysuit but for now she's still playable.
@@vanity1387 And yet every time she jumps or moves too quickly it feels like her lower body is awkwardly stiff, like they don't want to make her skirt flip up by accident.
@@infernaldisdain8051 her skirt actually flip when u jump and u can see her shorts clearly. Even with all this we can't see her closely just like aqua some ppl took a good pics of her u know but u can't with Kairi :) her moves are just a student moves who's trying his best to show her friend that she can do it and she's not of his way like he used to think anymore. She's just coming back from the death to face the hardest final boss in KH series
"Sadly, you can't trigger Flowmotion with her from Aero." Lol yeah, "sadly". I absolutely love her throw & warp move, it feels like you have so much range.
I feel like Kairi and Terra have the most satisfying dodges in the series despite Terra not having the i-frames. Sora’s double form dodge is also amazing
What I want most outta kingdom hearts now is Sora Riku and Kairi all on a team together for an entire game. Donald and goofy need a break. Maybe even retire
So with the end of melody of memory does this mean Kairi, Now training under Aqua does that mean she will get KEYBLADE ARMOR?? And maybe Style Commands?
It's so weird seeing her fight even weirder seeing her hold her own against a master xeanort copy what kind of training did Merlin put her and Lea through
Huh. So, for Seven Wishes, Kairi’s actually physically charging at the enemy, like Sora’s Sonic Blade. All this time I thought she was actually teleporting to launch attacks, kind of like Terra’s Chaos Blade in BBS, and that each time she was actually springing out of that charm design as a portal. Thank you so much for this breakdown. Quick question, though: if Kairi had a Formchange for this fight, what do you think it would’ve been, or what would you have wanted it to be? Or, maybe even further, they could’ve given Kairi a past Command Style from BBS, sort of like how Riku was learning Command Styles in DDD. What styles do you think would fit Kairi? Maybe Bladecharge or Wingblade, since both revolve around the power of light?
I just thought of something even bigger. Maybe in the games to come, since Kairi’s still learning about the Keyblade, they really could go the same route with her as they did with Riku and have her learn Command Styles. And not just old ones from BBS - they could take it even further and give Kairi her own brand-new Styles to unlock! And since Formchanges are out too, to tie it all together, they could simply have her Keyblade, Destiny’s Embrace, change into different weapons accordingly! I just thought of maybe two potential Styles Kairi could create. Forgive me for making this so long, but my imagination has just been ignited! The first original Style Kairi could learn, at least at the start of her next game, could be called “Maiden’s Bloom”. This Style would be based off the flower motifs you see so much in Kairi’s moveset here. In this Style, her attacks could become more elaborate and acrobatic, like Aqua’s moveset for Spellweaver, and Destiny’s Embrace could changes into a flower-themed shield to fit this change. The second Style I thought of for Kairi could be called “Radiance Force”, and could be unlocked maybe halfway through her new story to show how she’s continuing to grow. In this Style, being a Princess of Light and a Guardian of Light at the same time, she learns to harness the light in her directly as a weapon. For this change, her Keyblade could become a scepter, maybe with a design like that of Palutena’s scepter in “Kid Icarus”, and for her attacks, Kairi could be summoning light in various forms for attacks, such as orbs and rays for long range, or maybe even to resemble living beasts, like tigers and birds, maybe like a kind of answer to the Heartless and all the other dark creatures you end up facing. If it sounds like I’m starting to go into fanfic territory, then I’m sorry. I don’t want to see Kairi become OP and end up facing the same problem as Sora in terms of the balance of power in the story. Still, I feel there’s a ton of possibility for her to develop and be improved now that she’s taken on a more active role here in Re:Mind and that the interest in her is building up. Same for Riku, too. He may be a Keyblade Master now, but that doesn’t mean he can have awesome moments or even further growth. For him in the next game, at least in terms of gameplay, I feel that the idea of mixing Formchanges and Command Styles would make sense since he’s the furthest ahead of his friends in developing his powers. For him, they could bring back the Styles he learned in DDD with new signature weapons. Man, this was a ton of ideas to go through. What are your thoughts on all of this?
Maybe have Sora become a master as well in the next couple of games, cause i'm not sure i can take him being seen as a laughing stock over MOM disaster for the entire series
My biggest wish for KH4 is for there to be multiple e.g. 3 campaigns sort of like how BBS did it. 1. OG Trio - Sora, Riku and Kairi 2. Sea salt trio - Roxas, Axel and Xion 3. Wayfinder trio - Ventus, Terra and Aqua
Yesssssss! I need this. The final battle as foreshadowed by the new chess board will be 13 lights vs. 7 darknesses. That means that Sora, Riku, Kairi, Terra, Ventus, Aqua, Roxas, Xion, Lea, maybe Naminé, Isa and 2 others are all going to fight as a team. Would love to see some development from all of them before that. I have a feeling that is going to be the epic battle we wanted for kh3. Kh3 was more about saving lost hearts.
This was cool i really liked fighting as her in this fight *except on critical* but i wish if she had a formchange like Aqua and Sora that would've been awesome by the way great job :)
By the way since kairi is a heart of pure light,keyblade wielder,guardian of light and plus the normal amount of light a strong hearted person would have like aqua or roxas (because all of roxas's attacks are light based and when you don't play as him he is literally covered in light and is immortal) and maybe vor is even her grandmother so that's four times a much as light as a normal person and five times as much if vor is her grandmother!!!
Is it just me, or is Kairi's fighting style a LOT like Yozora's? She even holds her keyblade backhanded. And she has a version of a warp strike like Noctis.
Roxas felt SO GOOD to play as. He felt powerful and in control. Kairi felt good too, but in a different way. Like, she just learned these powers and getting a grip on them (hinted by her one of her fighting cries being "please work"). Roxas is someone who knows his power well and how to use it. Kairi is a student testing her abilities for the first time.
@@machine1685 true , Kairi is like KH1 Sora , but it's fighting Master Xehanort. So , unlike Sora that , while game try to portray him as an underdog , he is a self-taught keyblade wielder that lost his powers in every new game , but shows-up at the end more powerful than he was in the previous game. So , in a way , Sora is a freacking genius. Kairi really had to grasp in a crash course and be a newbie against veterans.
@@phantasosxgames8488 Exactly. Her moves lack the style that Sora has (he does flips and spins in some of his moves and dodges). I can't wait to see what Kairi can do after a couple of adventures and fights. If this is her as a student, her as a master should be frightening.
Umm probably not! I’ve already done one on Riku previously. The only change is he received a new shotlock I guess I never did Aqua now that I think about it 🤔 maybe I’ll write her down
@@EskChan19 Yeah. Her attacks are flashier, but in a 1-on-1 scenario, I can see Lea seeing threw a lot of it. But on the other hand, if he starts to see glimpses of Xion in her during their fight, I can see him hesitating and losing because of that.
@@gameloverkai1367 I honestly think it's a pretty even match up. Kairi has raw power (her shotlock is just a giant light nuke barrage), but she's sorely lacking in practical combat experience, which Axel has in spades. He was, afterall, trusted to assassinate the Castle Oblivion org members by Xemnas himself (and has only gotten stronger since then). Story wise, Axel is no slouch.
ummmmmmmmmmm ok i need help with something i'm currently trying to complete kh2fm critical difficulty in kh2.5 remix and i did the mushroom trick to lvl up valor form but could only lvl up to valor lvl 5 before the game decided that im max lvl in valor is there something wrong with my game? or am i just being an idiot where lvl 5 is the max in critical if i am plz let me know EDIT: ok nvm i found out you just need to progress through the game my bad sorryXD
So Fairy God Mother said she wanted to see the dreams of Riku and quote "the other 2." Obviously one of those 2 is Kairi so Riku and Kairi are practically confirmed to be playable in the next game, but who is this third person? My money's on either Roxas, Xion, or Ventus.
Vanity 13 well Xion in fact uses Holy. I can tell because it has a similar animation to the Holy spells from final fantasy. Also Sora can possibly use Holy(at least in CoM and Re:Coded) but no one is really sure of what Sora can and can’t do at this point. Cause Sora doesn’t necessarily forget how to do this but his power resets are more of loss strength rather than lost knowledge. What I mean is that he probably remembers how to do things but he just physically can’t. Or at least that’s how I think of his power reset in kh3. He probably remembers the things he can do from DDD. Tl;dr: Xion uses final fantasy-ish Holy and power scaling for all characters in kh3 is whack
@@Wayfinder137 u can't say she use "holy" because it looks like. Nomura confirmed and talked about all the spells in KH3 and her spell is the same as any other light spell that even Xehanort can use it. U can find who can use Holy in kh3 Ultimania and it's only Mickey and Kairi. The spell Xion used is a light spell but it's not Holy it's just a normal light spell holy is much stronger than that and it need strong light hearts. That's why Sora can only use it in CoM but never again. The spell xion used in kh3 is the same spell that Roxas used in 358 days to defeat her and the same spell most of kh characters use it but different animation to how the character want to use it so nope it's not Holy. U can go to read every one's battle page in KH3 Ultimania book and you'll by yourself and im just telling u the truth
Alright if no ones gonna say it I will. Is no else shocked when it comes to true training (not world exploration and experience) she is the only one of the Destiny Trio to recieve any real training. I mean hell Sora and Riku are self taught and didnt recieve training. All they got was a "Mark Of Mastery Exam" and a "Go look in worlds till ya get it". Kairi over here getting full on training from a former master. She be flexing on Riku and Sora next time their all together.
I think Alyson Stoner did okay but yeah I have to agree. Hayden gave Kairi some character in her voice. It might have been the writing, but in kh3, Kairi has none of the personality from the first two games. She didn’t make one sassy or sarcastic comment 😞
@@Gamelover254 she wasn't even "okay" she sounds like a robot tho! Kairi was never boring or lifeless only when Alyson voised her. Idc if she's learning Kairi's character or let's give her some time shell be good this will only make Kairi even boring. They HAVE to bring Kairi back because if she get her own game and Alyson is the VA is not good for Kairi as a character and her story or arc. Hayden is the best Kairi and she's way much better then Alyson at acting
Well in lore that’s how the world originally was. Multiple people had keyblades. I feel like Nomura is building up a return to the keyblade becoming a not so rare thing. Though to be fair only 9 or 10 people in the entire world possess one. That’s still pretty damn rare.
It seems to he either masters or heavy magic users that have Barrier as a basic block. Aqua was the first one we saw who is a magic used and a master Riku is a master & it looks like Kairi uses light magic in her attacks and has the use of all the main magic spells. Sora definitely should learn it too. I think from a gameplay standpoint, it was to make up for the other characters having less moves than Sora, so they gave them an awesome block to make up for it.
Gamelover254 yeah, I understand it from a gameplay aspect but story-wise it feels wrong. It would be cool if the starting questions altered the block based on the focus (strength, magic, or balanced) and then had the other versions be gained via level up
Okay, so let's see...
Gameplay-wise, Kairi:
* Has a barrier and a reprisal.
* Can warp-strike like Noctis.
* Has access to all the game's magic, including Grand Magic.
* Has a Shotlock.
* can use a Sonic Blade-like attack.
Story-wise, Kairi:
* Was able to stop a charging Xion.
* Was able to go toe-to-toe with Xemnas, even BREAKING his Ethereal Blades (something neither Roxas nor Xion could do in that same scene) and forcing him on the defensive for a bit until he was forced to trap both her and Sora in an energy field.
* Was able to face off against a copy of Armored Xehanort with Sora's help. (Fun fact: According to the Kingdom Hearts Wiki, the Armored Xehanort Sora and Kairi fight isn't the real Xehanort, but the Replica Xehanorts fused into a copy of Armored Xehanort, which kinda explains why Xehanort is strangely silent in cutscenes).
All this begs the question: What kinda training did Merlin put this girl through?
(Edit: I rewatched the scene with Xion. Kairi didn't push Xion back. Xion pushed Kairi back. Still pretty awesome though.)
Probably one that would ready her for her adventure: to find and save Sora.
@@NinjaWarotMCph Well, I wish we could've actually see her training with Lea. That would've been awesome.
Some LSD
Wait if Re:Mind's Armoured Xehanort is all the clones fused together, why do we see the old man through the armour after we damage him enough ?
He made her fight Sephiroth and the Lingering will
...At the same time.
Playing as her was my favorite part of remind dlc
A Random Person
Dying as her sure sucks, but still it was fun playing as her,
And her gameplay fits her well

Show’s that she’s trying to do her best like saying “please work”, and the reason why her health
Is so low, is that she’s (not to sound sexist or anything) a kind and sweet girl, of course her health is low

This could be the next game. Riku searching for sora in the final world or his dream, kairi in her dreams (most like khddd, with dreameaters and stuff), and sora maybe in the reapers game or something like that. This could be the best game of the franchise (at least in my opinion)

*looks at the Re Mind Title Screen and what the Q&A*
Could Kairi be taking the stage until Sora returns?
OathkeeperRoxas99 I hope so. She’ll most likely have a game similar to DDD where she travels the dream worlds to find Sora.
I hope so, maybe get training from the other wielders of light. Theres a ton of routes Kingdom Hearts can go down, I'm waiting for the day where you can custom make keyblades or cobble together unique parts to forge your own perfect keyblade stat and combo wise.
I'm saying it right now: Dream Drop Distance 2 starring Kairi/Riku.
It should be kairi/ven cus he's been asleep for a long time so he should easily go dream exploring, and he needs another game
@@goatcatofchaos Ven definitely needs another time to shine. He's been so pivotal to the entire series that it seems like he got shafted in KH3. I mean, we can't even play as him in the DLC.
Yes, exactly
inplane
There is the mobile game... where we can learn his past....
Ventus, Terra and Aqua are in the realm of darkness.
Looking at Kairi's animations, I can feel the animators fighting the camera angles and trying their damnest to avoid upskirts.
Well I mean, not that it matters; she has the same sort of combat shorts Aqua has.
Though it does make you wonder who the hell it was that programmed her model in KH2 PS2...because I still can't believe THAT happened.
BassDS1990 well KH2 Kairi was in a civilization/casual outfit while KH3 Kairi is in a combat outfit.
John Lindner maybe they should change her outfit next time. Give her a skort(skirt/shorts) again like in KH1. Or a cute romper
Well, her upskirts can't be avoided sometimes. If you do get one though, you see she has black shorts on instead.
Back in KH2 on PS2, where in The World That Never Was, before the final battle where everyone stands, if you move the camera to Kairi closely, pass through her skirt, you'll see her underwear.
0:54 That’s the same trick Noctic pulls off in Final Fantasy 15.
Ah yes, warp strike
they're royalty :>
Why I didn't notice this.
@@Jaxv3r missed opportunity for notice to noctis
@@TheXDGuy Kairi as an honorary Ruler of Lucis.
Love all the positive comments for Kairi. She needs all the love that's been due to her. There's too many Kairi haters out there. Hope they put a whole lot of love in her character and her fighting style in the next game. They did a good job in Remind. Only wished we got to choose her in the Saix fight too. But it was a good start.
Jedidiah Wormley 👍👍👍
I wouldn’t say she gets a lot of hate, more like people calling out the developers for neglecting her for all these years (and still continuing to do so).
@@handsoaphandsoapthat's a valid point too.
@@handsoaphandsoap Can't agree more, the issue is really how they underused her, ReMind did her finally some justice but in base KH3 she and Lea are really underuse she does 1 fight, get easily kidnap and get "killed". Which was a huge disappointment considering they were build up her as a usefull character since DDD's secret ending, give her a special training (which I quote is in a place out of time and space (think the time room in DBZ)) all for basically nothing.
Anyway glad she finally get some badass moment and hoping Square will continue making her badass in future game.
I heard that Nomura apologized for not making Kairi useful. He basically got the writer's block and was working on making Kairi more of a character and less of a damsel in distress.
Unfortunately, I don't have a source to back it up but it's something I heard.
Also, I agree with all the positive comments on Kairi and I've grown sick and tired of all the idiots who have been calling her useless. Now they can finally shut up about her.
I really love how Seven Wishes is a reminiscent to Sonic Blade, oh and Warp Strike Raid too, i love that
It's basically Rikus Dark Aura, but with light instead of darkness.Even the startup is nearly identical.
What is really cool is that all 3 Destiny Island kids share that move.
2:33 that dodge movement is similar to Terra's Sliding dash, so essentially Riku has Aqua's movement and also being somewhat OP with his Dark Firaga which can dish out a ton of damage, Kairi has Terra's Movement, and Sora has Ven's movement.
Neat little thing i noticed: Seven Wishes looks a lot like the lightside equivalent of Rikus dark aura. The startup is nearly identical, and the rushes and all are very similar too.
@@EskChan19 Oh yeah your right, looks like Kairi has "Lead me into everlasting DARKNESS!" but light version of it.
@@EskChan19 I thought it was similar to Sonic Blade.
This series needed a female bruiser character, what with Xion, Aqua, and Larxene relying more on magic and agility, and I feel like it makes sense with Kairi's personality (especially in the first game)
@@jorymo4964 Especially since she's mimicking Sora's stance.
She is a princess of heart and a keyblade wielder, so she should be extremely powerful.
Kairi does really feel the most up to date of the playable characters from remind, i really hope they build upon this on the next game which is most likely going to be a Kairi game finally :)
Alonso PC 👍👍👍
I CAME AS SOON AS I GOT THE NOTIFICATION! LETS GO! I can't wait to play this
Nomura's been hinting in recent Q&As that Kairi will get her own game, probably the next non-mobile one and not KH4. I am really excited for that
Arsio12 they are planning at least 1 in between game before KH4. I would love a solo protagonist Kairi game but would settle for her share the spotlight with Riku. This two really need more interactions.
@@CrystalArtest Considering how Re Mind's Limit Cut ended I'm betting on a shared Kairi and Riku game. Would love to see those 2, and later Sora as well, to just talk and hang out like friends again.
@@Arsio12 I think Riku may be her mentor at this point, because he's a master, he and Sora do have the most Keyblade experience since we've adventured with them the most, and Aqua's with Ven and Terra in the Realm of Darkness. Despite the training Merlin put her under, Kairi is still more or less a beginner with the Keyblade, hence why it makes sense to have someone she knows, and has a Keyblade and actual experience under his belt show her the ropes.
@@Arsio12 And hopefully like a little time skip with Riku being sort of like a teacher for those who are struggling with their darkness, and since Sora and Kairi shared the Paopu in the base game, and the Re:Mind artwork, I think they may as well get married.
David Timmer if you have looked up the mythology symbolism behind their one heart team attack I believe Nomura pretty much considers them together without explicitly stating it.
The dove wings are likely inspired by the Jian birds of Chinese mythology. They only have one wing and cannot fly without finding a mate. If you pause the game right before they actually take off and attack you can clearly see that Kairi and Sora each form a single wing and attack together.
The Jain bird is supposed to symbolize the eternal bond between husband and wife, so that makes this attack even more adorable ❤️
Thanks you for such a wonderful breakdown of Kairi's moveset! Your attention to detail is inspiring, it's so cool to see all the little things that are otherwise easy to miss during battle. I'm especially fond of all the names of her moves! 💗
I never noticed till you mentioned but yeah Sora has his heart coming outof him if he dies by a heartless!! So many details!!
Playing as her on crit was so satisfying when I beat xehanort
I hear that T Pinkstaff. Even though I died several times with her on crit I refused to give up on her. She needed her justice.
Thanks for the analysis 👍🏽 !
I didn't expected Kairi, as a Keyblade Wielder novice, to have such stylish movements ! She has to be playable again in the next game !
MαcKrø 👍👍👍
I love kairi’s fighting style, her attacks, and her moves while you’re playing her in the game against the final battle Xehanort. I hope someone can play her in the next Kingdom Hearts game and I can’t waited when it’s made and comes out.
Seeing how strong of a fighter Kairi is makes me so sad that she's so often relegated to either a support role or a damsel. Her princess of light status is fine and all but I want to see more from her. Hopefully next game (that's not the Xehanort focused title) will give us a more fleshed out Kairi playable experience.
Lyric Ailove 👍👍👍
Her attacks are pretty and cute :)
As for her diverse move set, I'm hoping she gets to go on her own adventure bc she needs to find out more about her past and make new friends lol
This was such a dope breakdown to see for Kairi, omg!! I'm so happy!! Kairi deserves to shine and fight too, and I'm glad she has so much as a Keyblade wielder! And I can't wait to see where else her journey will take her.
I’m glad you enjoyed it c:
I LOVE HER MOVES SO MUCH
NinjaGirlSakura1 👍👍👍
Me too! She's so graceful, I love her T^T
@@biancatiberia8000 Isn't she!
I like the attention to detail that Kairi has Terras slide, parallel to Riku having Aqua's Cartwheel
IVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS!!!
I like Kairi as a playable character so much. Also I have noticed, Aqua, Riku, and Kairi are the only ones with Barrier as their default guard.
She also has access to the more impressive barrier with the hexagonal pattern. Something Sora can only access with his drive forms, otherwise he just uses regular blocking. Sora and Riku have to work their way up to using more powerful magic but she can use top tier magic in her only-two fresh-out-of-training-and-thrust-into-war battles. I get the feeling she’s OP in the magic department given her…What? Limitless supply of light? Meanwhile all her physical attacks have her pulling back and rushing forward in some regard, like she is throwing her entire weight behind her attacks. Where the boys, or at least Sora, is just constantly forcing others back or aside or away with a few hits without retreating at all.
The "Seven wishes" finisher reminds me of Snow Whites D-Link finisher however it's totally different
Her shotlock alludes to Sora's Ultima and her charm.
While Sora's Ultima shotlock alludes to Trinity Limit of the previous games because the similar fashion (both summons an orb of light that eliminates all enemies at sight.)
The fact that her moveset is so diverse and she is the only character beside Sora with the dive animation, it really makes me think she'll be the next lead character in the next game before kh4.
Kristen Verne I hope so
Nah still gonna be sora forever, even nomura comfirmed before kh3 that sora will always be the main lead for all future main line kh games.
@@monokomomo4977 Not forever as Sora is the franchise lead, but for the game between 3 and 4. She is basically the only character who hasn't had a game to flesh out her character, so to have a game where she is the lead is not so farfetched. And her moveset is so much more diverse, that it looks like they prepped for her to have all the moves necessary for her own adventure.
@@kristenverne4944 Hell, Dream Drop Distance, even though Sora was still playable, wasn't really the main focus. Dream Drop Distance was Riku's game, and by extension 358/2 Days was Roxas' game, BBS, BBS Sora wasn't playable at all, because he was 4 years old at the time. And with the moveset Kairi has, her getting her own game's not outta the question.
Easily one of the best part of REMIND!! She is so cute to play as!!
that shotlock is crazy! loved playing as kairi
At 3:35, the feather in the foreground shows a scene from Kingdom Hearts in which Sora is holding Kairi's Wayfinder in his hand.
This attack always shows a different feather, that shows a moment between them from either KH1 or KH2
I'm sorta sad I can't play remind but I hope other people enjoy it
After seeing the team attack I will forever believe that either kairi or sora is the child of one of the crisis core first class trio. I see Kairi being Genesis daughter and Sora being Angeal's son.
I find it cute that Kairi mimics Sora's fighting stance when holding her Keyblade, but has different/unique fighting style & combos.
Honestly I think we could get a kairi game or section either that or a wayfinder game as an interlude before kh4
nice breakdown Bio! cool to see all these little details in the attacks
*Absolutely amazing!* 😱😍🥰
You're doing good sweetie! - Sora
Amazing Video Bio!!! Also I remember this being edited, I enjoy those editing videos tbh Bio!!
Dang, the dive attack animation really snuck its way past me. Had no idea 😂. Great breakdown as always 👏🏾!
According to Nomura in the 13 Darknesses Interview, the Re:Mind main menu art is a piece of foundation for the next game. Combine that with Fairy Godmother's nod toward "...the other two" (one hopefully being Kairi, seeing as the camera pans to her right after that quote), and it seems like she'll become an even more fleshed out playable character in the next game, with this fight aiming to make strides in an initial base gameplay repertoire 🤔🤷🏿♂️
Seeing Kairi's fall down animation kinda make me wonder if Riku, Aqua, and Roxas had the same if we could make them higher enough.
It's interesting how her long range attack is basically Strike Raid, but in reverse.
I've noticed that her movement is a bit awkward probably because of her skirt and the fact that if she could move more freely there might be upskirts. I wish she had something more like Aqua and her bodysuit but for now she's still playable.
What a stupid reason. She's wearing shorts just like Aqua -_-
@@vanity1387 And yet every time she jumps or moves too quickly it feels like her lower body is awkwardly stiff, like they don't want to make her skirt flip up by accident.
@@infernaldisdain8051 her skirt actually flip when u jump and u can see her shorts clearly. Even with all this we can't see her closely just like aqua some ppl took a good pics of her u know but u can't with Kairi :) her moves are just a student moves who's trying his best to show her friend that she can do it and she's not of his way like he used to think anymore. She's just coming back from the death to face the hardest final boss in KH series
Such a creative and well thought out moveset, despite being a one time playable moment.
Way better than khII riku during final xemnas.
The only thing I was dissapointed by is that we don't have access to the light-pearl-thing spell she uses in the graveyard battle.
"Sadly, you can't trigger Flowmotion with her from Aero."
Lol yeah, "sadly".
I absolutely love her throw & warp move, it feels like you have so much range.
I remember that Kairi uses a Pearl-like projectile attack when fighting with Sora. Is there any way to get access to it?
When she's an ally she use holy as a spell but when we play as her Holy change to her shoutlock
I feel like Kairi and Terra have the most satisfying dodges in the series despite Terra not having the i-frames. Sora’s double form dodge is also amazing
What I want most outta kingdom hearts now is Sora Riku and Kairi all on a team together for an entire game. Donald and goofy need a break. Maybe even retire
When kairi uses her counter move she looks like Sora doing thunder, stop, and cure from kingdom hearts 1
Thank you this will come in handy
So with the end of melody of memory does this mean Kairi, Now training under Aqua does that mean she will get KEYBLADE ARMOR?? And maybe Style Commands?
I hope we get a new kingdom hearts game like bbs but u play as al sora riku and kiari!
Kairi may had Copied Sora's Fighting Stance, but at least has her own Fighting Style.
-also kairi's move set maybe fleshed out because they want to reuse it in her own solo game. maybe?? hopefully??
Stealth Black I hope so
It's so weird seeing her fight even weirder seeing her hold her own against a master xeanort copy what kind of training did Merlin put her and Lea through
She did hold her own (despite people dissing it) against Xenmas in the REMIND cutscene.
Sora and Kairi fighting together is so wholesome and cute!!
redlox2 👍👍👍
I do honestly feel like Kairi is meant to be playable in the next game and that’s why so much time was spent on her. Just makes a lot of sense imo
Aqua Jet I hope so
Huh. So, for Seven Wishes, Kairi’s actually physically charging at the enemy, like Sora’s Sonic Blade. All this time I thought she was actually teleporting to launch attacks, kind of like Terra’s Chaos Blade in BBS, and that each time she was actually springing out of that charm design as a portal. Thank you so much for this breakdown. Quick question, though: if Kairi had a Formchange for this fight, what do you think it would’ve been, or what would you have wanted it to be? Or, maybe even further, they could’ve given Kairi a past Command Style from BBS, sort of like how Riku was learning Command Styles in DDD. What styles do you think would fit Kairi? Maybe Bladecharge or Wingblade, since both revolve around the power of light?
I just thought of something even bigger. Maybe in the games to come, since Kairi’s still learning about the Keyblade, they really could go the same route with her as they did with Riku and have her learn Command Styles. And not just old ones from BBS - they could take it even further and give Kairi her own brand-new Styles to unlock! And since Formchanges are out too, to tie it all together, they could simply have her Keyblade, Destiny’s Embrace, change into different weapons accordingly!
I just thought of maybe two potential Styles Kairi could create. Forgive me for making this so long, but my imagination has just been ignited! The first original Style Kairi could learn, at least at the start of her next game, could be called “Maiden’s Bloom”. This Style would be based off the flower motifs you see so much in Kairi’s moveset here. In this Style, her attacks could become more elaborate and acrobatic, like Aqua’s moveset for Spellweaver, and Destiny’s Embrace could changes into a flower-themed shield to fit this change. The second Style I thought of for Kairi could be called “Radiance Force”, and could be unlocked maybe halfway through her new story to show how she’s continuing to grow. In this Style, being a Princess of Light and a Guardian of Light at the same time, she learns to harness the light in her directly as a weapon. For this change, her Keyblade could become a scepter, maybe with a design like that of Palutena’s scepter in “Kid Icarus”, and for her attacks, Kairi could be summoning light in various forms for attacks, such as orbs and rays for long range, or maybe even to resemble living beasts, like tigers and birds, maybe like a kind of answer to the Heartless and all the other dark creatures you end up facing. If it sounds like I’m starting to go into fanfic territory, then I’m sorry. I don’t want to see Kairi become OP and end up facing the same problem as Sora in terms of the balance of power in the story. Still, I feel there’s a ton of possibility for her to develop and be improved now that she’s taken on a more active role here in Re:Mind and that the interest in her is building up. Same for Riku, too. He may be a Keyblade Master now, but that doesn’t mean he can have awesome moments or even further growth. For him in the next game, at least in terms of gameplay, I feel that the idea of mixing Formchanges and Command Styles would make sense since he’s the furthest ahead of his friends in developing his powers. For him, they could bring back the Styles he learned in DDD with new signature weapons. Man, this was a ton of ideas to go through. What are your thoughts on all of this?
Maybe have Sora become a master as well in the next couple of games, cause i'm not sure i can take him being seen as a laughing stock over MOM disaster for the entire series
Definitely.
My biggest wish for KH4 is for there to be multiple e.g. 3 campaigns sort of like how BBS did it.
1. OG Trio - Sora, Riku and Kairi
2. Sea salt trio - Roxas, Axel and Xion
3. Wayfinder trio - Ventus, Terra and Aqua
Yesssssss! I need this. The final battle as foreshadowed by the new chess board will be 13 lights vs. 7 darknesses.
That means that Sora, Riku, Kairi, Terra, Ventus, Aqua, Roxas, Xion, Lea, maybe Naminé, Isa and 2 others are all going to fight as a team.
Would love to see some development from all of them before that.
I have a feeling that is going to be the epic battle we wanted for kh3. Kh3 was more about saving lost hearts.
This was cool i really liked fighting as her in this fight *except on critical* but i wish if she had a formchange like Aqua and Sora that would've been awesome by the way great job :)
1:32 her 7 wishes is pretty similar to Sora's sonic blade/rave-blast
By the way since kairi is a heart of pure light,keyblade wielder,guardian of light and plus the normal amount of light a strong hearted person would have like aqua or roxas (because all of roxas's attacks are light based and when you don't play as him he is literally covered in light and is immortal) and maybe vor is even her grandmother so that's four times a much as light as a normal person and five times as much if vor is her grandmother!!!
Kairi is amazing!!! I hope she will continue to be playable in future games
Her fighting style reminds me a bit of Mickey from the spinning attacks.
Funny thing is Kairi's warp strike breaks the AX fight. He can't hang back and Firaga Tower spam. Just Warp into his face
I would love for Kairi to get her own proper solo adventure before KH4. But that doesn’t seem likely with how much Nomura seems to hate her.
One thing only: her warp attack has intangibility frames during the teleport
When you realized that you clicked on a Kairi video faster than any other Sora video....
have you ever done any breakdowns on then kingdom hearts 2 limits?
Is it just me, or is Kairi's fighting style a LOT like Yozora's? She even holds her keyblade backhanded. And she has a version of a warp strike like Noctis.
I WANT KAIRI... to be playable for the whole game next time. (also yes, I just want her)
Kairi's magic finisher kinda looks like wisdom form's fire finisher
I might be seeing things tho
I meant base form sora's fire finisher
Personally I liked Roxas little more because it is well it's Roxas but hey this part was still amazing
Roxas felt SO GOOD to play as. He felt powerful and in control. Kairi felt good too, but in a different way. Like, she just learned these powers and getting a grip on them (hinted by her one of her fighting cries being "please work"). Roxas is someone who knows his power well and how to use it. Kairi is a student testing her abilities for the first time.
@@machine1685 true , Kairi is like KH1 Sora , but it's fighting Master Xehanort.
So , unlike Sora that , while game try to portray him as an underdog , he is a self-taught keyblade wielder that lost his powers in every new game , but shows-up at the end more powerful than he was in the previous game.
So , in a way , Sora is a freacking genius.
Kairi really had to grasp in a crash course and be a newbie against veterans.
@@phantasosxgames8488 Exactly. Her moves lack the style that Sora has (he does flips and spins in some of his moves and dodges). I can't wait to see what Kairi can do after a couple of adventures and fights. If this is her as a student, her as a master should be frightening.
I agree with all of you
Yeah. And his light-rush and double-dash were great. I really wish Double Form would have gotten those.
They put in a lot of effort for kairi, I wonder if she was meant to be played other than the main fight.
Are you gonna make Riku or Aqua Breakdown too?
Umm probably not! I’ve already done one on Riku previously. The only change is he received a new shotlock
I guess I never did Aqua now that I think about it 🤔 maybe I’ll write her down
@@BioRoxas Oh i see, cant wait for Aqua breakdown then 😊
So... who won between her and Lea?
We need answers 😂
She's pretty strong in gameplay, but i'd figure Axel would win purely because he has a ton more actual combat experience than her.
@@EskChan19 Yeah. Her attacks are flashier, but in a 1-on-1 scenario, I can see Lea seeing threw a lot of it. But on the other hand, if he starts to see glimpses of Xion in her during their fight, I can see him hesitating and losing because of that.
I don't know. I think in the fight with axel and kairi as your party members, kairi has stronger stats compared to axel. Its shown in the ultimania.
@@gameloverkai1367 I honestly think it's a pretty even match up. Kairi has raw power (her shotlock is just a giant light nuke barrage), but she's sorely lacking in practical combat experience, which Axel has in spades. He was, afterall, trusted to assassinate the Castle Oblivion org members by Xemnas himself (and has only gotten stronger since then). Story wise, Axel is no slouch.
Finally yes
I'll say it once and I'll say it again we need the other characters to be buffed so we can choose to play as them for data fights
ummmmmmmmmmm ok i need help with something
i'm currently trying to complete kh2fm critical difficulty in kh2.5 remix and i did the mushroom trick to lvl up valor form but could only lvl up to valor lvl 5 before the game decided that im max lvl in valor is there something wrong with my game? or am i just being an idiot where lvl 5 is the max in critical if i am plz let me know
EDIT: ok nvm i found out you just need to progress through the game my bad sorryXD
I actually didn't play as her lol, After struggling so hard on Critical with nerfed Roxas, Riku, and Aqua. I just played As Sora cause I was tired
i WISH riku and kairi got keyblade forms! im not even sure what it could.
every playable character has Double Flight
So Fairy God Mother said she wanted to see the dreams of Riku and quote "the other 2." Obviously one of those 2 is Kairi so Riku and Kairi are practically confirmed to be playable in the next game, but who is this third person? My money's on either Roxas, Xion, or Ventus.
Could it be Sora? Idk if that would make sense in the context of the cutscene though, I'll need to go back through it!
@@BioRoxas That would be surprising and clever, but I wanna play as my boy Roxas again!
She uses a holy (light spell) if she's in your party but unfortunately you can't use that spell in gameplay
Does she? I've seen Xion do holy when you fight Saix with her and Roxas, but never Kairi
@@EskChan19 only Mickey and Kairi who use Holy in KH3 and that's confirmed in kh3 ultimania book. When we play as Kairi her shoutlock is Holy
They changed the spell to her shoutlock which it become much stronger
Vanity 13 well Xion in fact uses Holy. I can tell because it has a similar animation to the Holy spells from final fantasy. Also Sora can possibly use Holy(at least in CoM and Re:Coded) but no one is really sure of what Sora can and can’t do at this point. Cause Sora doesn’t necessarily forget how to do this but his power resets are more of loss strength rather than lost knowledge. What I mean is that he probably remembers how to do things but he just physically can’t. Or at least that’s how I think of his power reset in kh3. He probably remembers the things he can do from DDD.
Tl;dr: Xion uses final fantasy-ish Holy and power scaling for all characters in kh3 is whack
@@Wayfinder137 u can't say she use "holy" because it looks like. Nomura confirmed and talked about all the spells in KH3 and her spell is the same as any other light spell that even Xehanort can use it. U can find who can use Holy in kh3 Ultimania and it's only Mickey and Kairi. The spell Xion used is a light spell but it's not Holy it's just a normal light spell holy is much stronger than that and it need strong light hearts. That's why Sora can only use it in CoM but never again. The spell xion used in kh3 is the same spell that Roxas used in 358 days to defeat her and the same spell most of kh characters use it but different animation to how the character want to use it so nope it's not Holy. U can go to read every one's battle page in KH3 Ultimania book and you'll by yourself and im just telling u the truth
Alright if no ones gonna say it I will. Is no else shocked when it comes to true training (not world exploration and experience) she is the only one of the Destiny Trio to recieve any real training. I mean hell Sora and Riku are self taught and didnt recieve training. All they got was a "Mark Of Mastery Exam" and a "Go look in worlds till ya get it". Kairi over here getting full on training from a former master. She be flexing on Riku and Sora next time their all together.
Thought Kairi was going to have her pearl attack
still waiting for baby breakdown uwu
She has more of a watery flow to her kind of fighting style. Y'know?
the more i look at kairi's charm the more i think it's related to Lux from KHUX
Whoa maybe 👀
Kairi is perfect but she need Hayden to come back to her
I think Alyson Stoner did okay but yeah I have to agree. Hayden gave Kairi some character in her voice.
It might have been the writing, but in kh3, Kairi has none of the personality from the first two games. She didn’t make one sassy or sarcastic comment 😞
@@Gamelover254 she wasn't even "okay" she sounds like a robot tho! Kairi was never boring or lifeless only when Alyson voised her. Idc if she's learning Kairi's character or let's give her some time shell be good this will only make Kairi even boring. They HAVE to bring Kairi back because if she get her own game and Alyson is the VA is not good for Kairi as a character and her story or arc. Hayden is the best Kairi and she's way much better then Alyson at acting
She can also get curaza as a grand magic
I like Kiari moveset
I'm sorry, all I can think of is
Whose harebrained idea was it to give Kairi this ridiculously skimpy skirt as something to go into battle in?
Japan apparently, I mean have you seen anime girls fight in skirts?
@@acerookie1173 It just irk me.
@@truthspreader1996 it's cool.
@@acerookie1173 "Cool" how do you figure!?
@@truthspreader1996 I mean, no worries. That's all.
Kairi... finally useful!
So we have kairi with a keyblade now Jesus Christ they're giving a those keyblades like Popsicles
That's a pretty late realization, given that she already has it since KH2
@@EskChan19 but did we have a moveset i mean she doesn't have a moveset before and did Axel had a keyblade in kh2
Kyrie Espayos Axel/Lea didn’t get his until KH:DDD
Well in lore that’s how the world originally was. Multiple people had keyblades. I feel like Nomura is building up a return to the keyblade becoming a not so rare thing.
Though to be fair only 9 or 10 people in the entire world possess one. That’s still pretty damn rare.
The biggest disrespect of this fight is that Kiari has a barrier and Sora doesn’t
It seems to he either masters or heavy magic users that have Barrier as a basic block.
Aqua was the first one we saw who is a magic used and a master
Riku is a master
& it looks like Kairi uses light magic in her attacks and has the use of all the main magic spells.
Sora definitely should learn it too. I think from a gameplay standpoint, it was to make up for the other characters having less moves than Sora, so they gave them an awesome block to make up for it.
Gamelover254 yeah, I understand it from a gameplay aspect but story-wise it feels wrong. It would be cool if the starting questions altered the block based on the focus (strength, magic, or balanced) and then had the other versions be gained via level up
