Okay, let me rant about THIS ONE SECOND.

So here’s Terra and Aqua, both sinking in the fact that Terra pretty much helped kill his own father figure, and then comes along Ven. Something’s wrong, he’s not quite as happy anymore. He starts going on about some kind of X-Blade- judging by Terra and Aqua’s reactions they seem slightly familiar with it IMO -and Ven goes on about how scared he is. Terra and Aqua set aside their own grief, confusion, and loss just to smile and say “Things’ll be okay.” Seriously Terra is smiling, just shoving back his own remorse and self-hatred for how much he’s screwed up to smile and see that Ven does too.

Tell me that isn’t a perfect friendship, a perfect family.

AND THEN VENTUS ASKS THEM TO KILL HIM. (in a PG manner because this is Disney BUT STILL)

What gets me even more upset (Read: beyond bawling my eyes out) is that WE DON’T SEE RESOLUTION FOR THIS. LITERALLY THE WORDS “Just… put an end to me.” ARE PROBABLY THE LAST SENTENCE TERRA AND AQUA EVER HEAR FROM VEN.

THEIR SWEET, INNOCENT, WONDERFUL LITTLE BOY ASKING THEM TO KILL HIM.

You know, the handheld Kingdom Hearts games haven’t always been my favorite, but goddamn, this game… I just loved this game so much.  I loved these three and just, ugh it hurt so much!  I still remember when Ventus first showed up and like, something was definitely wrong, but they still treated him like a friend (even after his random screaming fit and just, his off-ness) and… argh, none of their endings were going to be happy  :(  

Like Kingdom Hearts has this whole trio thing going, and I felt like THIS TRIO was very well constructed.  Not to say that Sora/Riku/Kairi and Roxas/Axel/Xion aren’t good trios, but this one just… I dunno, I had a lot of feelings for these three.  Like I remember playing and really, really wishing it were a console game that were much longer and bigger, just so I could play with these three more.  

I especially love that the girl didn’t feel like she stood aside and did nothing.  I mean I love Kairi and all but I really, really, REALLY want her to fight and be in the trio with Sora and Riku, like, they get to go off and have all these adventures, I want her to be there too!  Aqua spoiled me so much because I was like, “THIS IS WHAT I WANT FROM KAIRI!”  Aqua was damn good and could hold her own, I want that in Kairi!  I’m hoping that’s what I get in KH3.
