Nomura said himself that Kingdom Hearts is his life's work and that Sora is his son. He stated that Sora is extremely special to him and that he is very good boy.
Thats how important it is to him.
USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.
Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.
I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."
"They just come with the table, man."
They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.
This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.
I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.
"Did we…?"
"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."
Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.
My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."
Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.
I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.
Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.
I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.
Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.
I love their casual fits especially xions but axel man what the FUCK are you wearing man stop embarrassing me youre ruining the whole aura of the group you look like a millenial who has a burger truck with slogan "One crazy guy and a dream"
Donald duck teaches a 14 year old boy whose entire world was killed by a thousand demons to repress his negative emotions (this will have severe consequences in the future)
Do you understand how insane it is to have the opportunity to turn your creative strife into a meta narrative about your own creations? As if they themselves came to life to lament the fact they could never exist as they were? What is more Kingdom Hearts than that very premise?

the remake is not the risky part
the risky part is touching the game that taught everyone what 3D adventure was supposed to be
