Sora has been pretty much the same kid we met back in KH1, he's cocky and a total knucklehead but can still dish out the punishment. Oh also, he's got a bit of a temper, he used to always say "What's that suppposed to mean?" whenever Donald said something negative about him. Kairi's still the sweet inoccent island girl, we just know more about her. Riku however, he's changed... He accepted the drakness within him and let it take control, sorta, but he did it for Sora. Riku has grown.... a lot, you can't deny that!
I've plaied every GoW game, including the ****ty cell phone one, and the only KH game I haven't plaied is CoM. GoW may have better graphics and more Hi-def cutscenes, but KH is just more fun. GoW let's you play the Anti-hero and live out your twisted fantasies while still being a "good guy" but KH just has something that GoW dosen'.t.
He never turned into a Heartless in KH2. Anti-form is a DRIVE FORM!!! It happens because he drove too much. It was Heartless-like, but not a true Heartless. Anyways yes, a shadow is too weak to contain Sora, he shoulc have been at least something close to Xenahort's Heartless, but when a shadow is easy to animate, i can see why Square would do that.
Shouldn't we be more interested in what the glass is filled with? I'm mean, if it's filled with sh*t, then we have a half-empty sh*t glass! I don't like sh*t do you? And Babies' blood is even more complex! And then it also depends on weither the blood is coming from a baby or going to a baby! If it's going to a baby, then we've got a half full glass of Baby Blood, the kid'll be fine, if it's coming from a baby, the the kid might be hurt! Don't ask why he collected the blood in a glass, just help he's bleeding all over!!
I believe Xemnas is in some form still "living." Since nobodies don't truly exist, then they can really die. Also Xemnas was driven into a form we didn't see the other members of Organization XIII go to, either because A. he's the final boss so the fight has to be long, or B. he had some sort power beyond the others.
He has the same ammount wahile fighting Axel and Xemnas. Also his magic is increased. Check this out, look very closely at sora's HUD in the picture with all the Keyhole-like things, he has a max drive of 9! So far that's only obtainable with the AR Max for KH2. 10 battles in all depicted, yet the most surprise comes from DiZ talking in the World that Never Was.
although he only searched for Riku and Kairi, those where who he was thinking about at the time. And like we saw in KH2, Selphie didn't even remember Sora! Although everyones memories were restored, she didn't remember but Kairi did in patches. Also that wasn't Tidus in Traverse Town, it was the same basic image, but it wasn't him.
Each has it's own uses. Quick Run can get you out of trouble so you can heal or move you into position for a better attack. High Jump gives you the height needed for airel attacks, but Airel Dodge does too, it can also protect you if you time it right. Glide works well if you need to really get out of trouble. But overall Gide is the best you can have
