As far as _"bad installments that the fanbase doesn't talk about"_ go, it's honestly far from the worst. But still, the fanbase is definitely not in a hurry to talk about it.

@Xackadee did a lil research, 3rd party PSP port explains a lot for a start

It's funny how I often see comments having the inverse take on the trilogy. The games really took a different turn after the first one. I don't have an issue with it, I love them all, but in hindsight I wouldn't call it the perfect trilogy when it could have used a bit more consistency. I'm hard on Lost Frontier but maybe a better version of it that takes the series to a fresh new story and setting might have been something the series could have used. I miss these games.

@@Xackadee Eh, lost frontier just feels less "jak and daxter" and in general is underwhelming, for characters, missions, graphics etc. Still has some interesting ideas, for sure. I love 2 and 3, and I would replay them 100 times. But Legacy... I just cannot bring myself to fully appreciate it. I also found it incredibly short.

Hahaha, thanks! I'm glad I was able to give that to you and others and I'll happily keep it around for as long as I'm here!

My bad, yo

Got that classic nerd accent going for him

You're absolutely not wrong, though I do think this is a case-by-case issue. While retcons can be necessary, I'd still encourage avoiding them as much as possible. Some series are built that way and others really aren't but regardless of where on the scale it falls, it's always better to have consistency and thought go into the blueprints as much as possible than to throw caution to the wind. This sometimes just isn't possible, which is why I say that retcons can be necessary and should be forgivable, but it all comes down to how it's handled, as you say. A creator who takes great care to consider all the information they've fed their audience and break from that consistency only as a last resort is going to be more respected than one who doesn't even remember the original canon in the first place, for good reason. And of course, how fans receive those different treatments will also vary from person to person. We all have different tolerances and some of us are just here for the drinks.

Here's why I disagree with that: *Xemnas:* _You accept darkness yet choose to live in the light. So why is that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice?_ *Riku:* _That's simple. It's because you mess up our worlds._ Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like you think that we fight the Nobodies because they're Nobodies. We fight them because of what they do, not what they are. Hearts or no hearts, it doesn't change that these antagonists are causing harm to people for selfish gain. That matters. Why would Nobodies being capable of growing hearts change that? For that matter, why are the "heartless not a threat"? They are. What does any of this even have to do with the heartless? This twist isn't about them. And why is the there "no true loss"? There is. People can still be killed and many nearly do throughout Kingdom Hearts III. Furthermore, Nobodies do still lack hearts, so that's still a core part of their motivation. What came before is actually largely unchanged, which ties into my next point. Following that, Xemnas says this: *Xemnas:* _That may be... However, what other choice might we have had?_ *Sora:* _Just give it a rest! You're Nobodies! You don't even exist! You're not sad about anything!_ *Xemnas:* _Ha ha ha ha... Very good. You don't miss a thing. I can not feel sorrow..._ This exchange pre-twist makes the Nobodies a weak set of antagonists who are arbitrarily carrying out villainous actions as though they're bound to do it, like a river has no choice but to flow downstream. Sora even buys into this and dismisses them out of hand. The thing is, that doesn't add up when characters like Namine, Axel and Roxas proved that the Nobodies _do_ have a choice. They're capable of free will or leaving the organisation and make some emotional choices. I feel like now's a good time to remind you that the fact that Nobodies can regrow hearts is not public knowledge in-universe. Only a small handful of people are shown to know that from earlier than the reveal, namely Xemnas, Xigbar and DiZ, none of whom had the Nobodies best interests at heart. That's why this works. This reveal is the missing piece that fixes the issues with Xemnas' story and explains the actions of the outliers. Nobodies still need help to grow hearts and they themselves are unaware that this is the case and above all, _Xemnas is trying to prevent that._ The entire point of the Organization becomes so much more sinister when you learn that Xemnas was actively trying to _take away_ the power of choice that the other Nobodies had. He was using them and trying to supress the natural power of life itself - something that ensures that anyone who can form connections to other people can feel for those people. And because of that, it adds a layer of manipulation and dramatic irony to scenes like the one above as his lies extend to fooling Sora and he plays into that. He lets the heroes think of his victims as the villains. On behalf of the other members, that's as sympathetic as it gets. The core motivation of the Nobodies is not only still there, it's something that was _actively exploited._ That matters. Why wouldn't it? Call it an easy fix if you want, but that's a good thing. It's not something that's a stretch to believe or takes extra steps of complicated understanding (something KH lore already suffers from in abundance) to follow along with. It's a natural conclusion to the stakes that were set up for us prior to it, makes greater sense of the former conflicts of the story and adds to the drama rather than diminishes it. I can't change the way you feel about it and if you don't like it then I'm sorry to hear that but to say that it harmed rather than helped is way off the mark. Don't fixate on alternate explanations. There will always be, for every twist in every story, other ways that things could have played out and with an infinite number of possible new directions, there's always a better path. As such, it's a pointless question. Focus on what we have. The story as it exists may not live up to your own personal ideals, but it was never trying to. When you actually analyse what this twist did for the universe and the world-building, it's a very rational result.

@@Xackadee I didn’t say what I did, as an explanation as to why it ruins my reason to fight Nobodies. Because the fighting isn’t the entire core aspect. In all honesty, I wish as characters that we didn’t need to fight them. Because it’s very sad to imagine an existence like that, with them being exploited and used by Xemnas. They all have my full sympathy. What I mean is, is that if they just grow Hearts. Are they truly Nobodies anymore? Because the point of their existence is that they have no hearts and they are trying to re-find their original selves to become complete. That gives them motivation. But just by having them grow hearts. That motivation is taken away and they’re not really Nobodies anymore. They’re just Somebodies with black coats on. Which then makes them pointless to exist as a fictional race if you just give it to them like that. I’m not trying to make this into an argument and I do respect your feelings and of course, I never expected the story to follow my own logic. That’s not what it’s supposed to, I do understand. But again I do see this aspect as a problem that I can’t help but comment about. I will always love Kingdom Hearts, but I won’t stay quiet if I feel something has gone wrong. But that’s what’s fun about having a discussion about these things isn’t it? 🙂

@@lauraroberts3520 No, it's fine! I just want to understand what you're saying and make it clear why I feel differently. And if I can help you come around to it in any way, that'd be an excellent bonus, but if you continue to disagree, that's no issue! I get the sense that I view these things from a more thematic perspective - analysing the point of the story - if that helps. To that I'll say that it's easy to forget that most Nobodies don't get that kind of opportunity. Just because they can regrow hearts doesn't mean that they will and not all of them did. The reveal doesn't sweep away the struggle of the Nobodies, especially since those who did grow hearts were still beholden to an opperessive dogmatic Organization that drove a wedge in their relationships, used them and put them through a great deal of suffering. And that being a massive point of the story kind of shows an irony that what they were looking for was never that far off the whole time, but that very search and need to "be complete" misled them to cause some of their own friction and doubt. All of that would never have happened if they weren't Nobodies who definitively started with no hearts, were constantly surrounded by people with no hearts and were regularly reminded by those people and themselves that they have no hearts. It's also even easier to forget that not all Nobodies are human form. A vast majority of them are Dusks, Dancers, Gamblers, Samurai, Creepers, etc. The lesser Nobodies as a species are vast in number and far more easily led by the stronger Nobodies, so their heartless selves are stil very much their staple. And as one minor tidbit that gets mentioned once or twice in the games and I believe was confirmed in an interview but hasn't been actually shown, Nobodies do exist on a time limit. I do think they should have made a bigger deal of it, but Nobodies are doomed to one day fade back into nothing. Even if they grow hearts, they wouldn't be able to just go on existing like before with no end because their existence is still tied to nothingness.

@@d.saunders2506 I can get people being mixed about the heartless and nobody reforming the whole person, a concept that I'm not against but ought to have been handled well. However, I'm a very strong and firm disagree on the "theme ruining" comment regarding Nobodies growing hearts. This is the series that defended Pinocchio as being more than a mere puppet who is capable of both possessing and having the right to a heart from its very first installment. The plot twist that the bonds of love between Nobodies were so real that they gave rise to true and honest emotions (and by proxy, the heart that contains them) is *the most* on-brand KH theming there is. As I said to someone else earlier in this comment chain, I can't change your feelings and I'm sorry if you don't feel the same way, but arguing that it's not consistent and/or even ruins KH's theme is just not accurate.

I understand that, but what you are describing is a minor nuisance regarding one character's naming. A minor nuisance is not a big deal.

@@Xackadee It might be a minor nuisance, alone. However, it adds up with other confusion making it so unnecessary. They could've just made DiZ be a different person instead of this Ansem bullcrap. What is the point of it? Nothing. Its existence is solely to be confusing. Just like Heartless and Nobody naming. "Heartless" turns out to 100% be a heart that's fallen to darkness and 0% body. "Nobody" turns out to be 100% a body with no heart. You know what else does exactly this? Greenland and Iceland. And do you know why the Vikings named them that way? Nothing but to confuse enemies. Yes, its sole reason is to be confusing and nothing else.

@@ShadowbannedAccount Well you seem to have all this figured out so I'll leave you to it.

I would think no apprentice would disrespect their master by betraying them, usurping them and casting them out into a realm of nothingness, but Ansem's apprentices clearly have different limits towards what apprentices should and shouldn't do. But if you're sure that makes sense then I guess there's no alternative.

@@Xackadee No you don't get it. Xehanort and Vexen are not comparable. Xehanort betrayed his master, while Vexen stayed loyal in KH3. That's why I said it's out of character for Vexen to disrespect his master.

@@ShadowbannedAccount I guess Vexen has no reason to "atone" then, since he's a flat character who never changes, alters or does anything that he would later go on to regret, as you say.

Because that was the first time he met them. Then he went back in time and grew up into the old Samos that Jak knew in the first game.

Confusing plot twist

@@tasneema2602 Yep, that's time travel for you!

He's certainly not Jak's actual biological uncle, so the two leading theories are that he's like an adoptive uncle, a friendly old man who helped Samos out with raising Jak and stepped into the role of his uncle, or that he's just a bit crazy and _thinks_ that he's Jak's uncle, even though he isn't, and everyone just rolls with this.

@@Xackadee well I mean that's what we can say now that the games are out and the story is told but in reality he at one point was jaks actual uncle before they went crazy with the story and his involvement was just an oversight by the developers that they either forgot to address or purposely forgot about

@@joshgaynor7695 This is very true. And when you remember things like the Precursor egg or Brutter (or even lurkers in general), you realise that there's a lot of that in the series.

@@Xackadee exactly great series none the less ask anyone who had or still has the ps2 from anywhere even where I am in ireland and it'll be a staple in their minds

You don't want to give the new voice actors a chance?
