The funniest thing about Kingdom Hearts is that at no point in the series does Sora have any idea what’s going on and that’s why I fuck with him because me either twin this some bullshit huh
This official photo of E33 is so beautiful and symbolic! Verso plays the piano and he is half ghost and half real, his petals make Maelle/Alicia touch her heart, it is her connection with him and that she wants to hold onto him and not take her brother out of her heart 😭
Sirène shows the Expeditioners visions of what they most desperately wish they could have back. But with Verso, she can’t show him anything. And I think that’s because there’s nothing left in him that he even wants to reclaim. He’s been worn down so completely, body and soul, that what remains isn’t hope, or regret, or longing for the past. It’s just the desire to die.
There isn’t a single line of dialogue in this cutscene. And yet, through the beautiful music, the characters’ expressions, and the silence itself, you can feel every bit of their loss, their yearning, and their pain. The way this scene delivers so much emotion without relying on words is honestly incredible. For me, it’s one of the most devastating and unforgettable scenes in E33.
ALSO you know me, I had to make a silly comic to mark the occasion. XD Happy Anniversary to #ClairObscurExpedition33! (And CONGRAAAATS for 8 million copies sold!!)
