      Kh3 has the only bad opening of the 3 main games but is the best over all game in terms of story and the way they conclude the Xehanort saga was incredible. Spoiler warning prepare for one hell of a tragic death among one of the main 3 of Sora, Kairi, and Riku.

    The animation in this intro is over 20 years old and somehow, by some miracle, it aged like fine, fine paupo fruit wine. The character designs, the lighting, even the scenery manages to all be stellar, even without tools we have in the 2020s like Unreal Engine. I can't overstate how much I love this cutscene; it's truly a masterpiece.

    Those PS1 - PS2 era intros were something different. The anticipation of putting in the disc to a game you’ve been waiting for(finally convinced your parents to get it for you or finally saved up enough to buy it yourself) and being mesmerized by the opening FMV. MGS2, Final Fantasy VIII, Vagrant Story, Parasite Eve, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, Onimusha 3, Silent Hill 1 & 2, Soul Calibur II type vibes...miss those days

    ...I gotta admit, hearing KH3 Sora *AND* Yozora say that exact line damn near in unison in the last Re:Mind trailer was both incredibly nostalgic and quite mysterious.
    The implications of them being connected... or even 2 sides of the same coin... are hard to miss.

      @gretelandcat6393 5 років тому +5

      sleepyprinny you know I wouldn't be surprised if in a future KH game where Yozora was the protagonist, they use this exact same opening, shot for shot, but replace Sora and Kairi with Yozora and Stella (nameless star). Not sure who Riku would be

    What most people dont realize is, Riku, as a keyblade wielder, also had a dive to heart like Sora. So, during the events of the prologue, Sora and Riku both had these "weird thoughts". Riku just chose to keep it to himself, much like his character at the time.
