The Time Has Come For Lore Reasons to Analyze 'Kingdom Hearts III'

Shout-outs to my girl, Mika, King Mickey needs to let her talk more.

Just listened to the episode and it was a lot of fun. I would just like to say thanks to the Waypoint staff for making this series and covering Kingdom Hearts. Definitely enjoyed listening to people outside of the fandom try and stumble through the extremely confusing lore.

Can I just say that I noticed too how much Sora kept getting dragged throughout Kingdom Hearts 3? Its crazy that this kid saves the world like 4 times and no one gives him any respect. Especially when Riku and Mickey are Keyblade masters and accomplishes so little in this game.

I mean Sora saves Mickey and Riku while freeing Aqua, helps save Ven, manages to overcome death through time travel(?), helps to revive 3 people, defeats all of the Organization in 2-1 or 3-1 fights in an afternoon, and defeats Xeonart with Donald and Goofy. Meanwhile, Riku gave Sora a pep talk once and was at the battlefield? Seems like Yensid is playing favorites with his mark of mastery exam.

Either way, overall Kingdom Hearts as a series was all kinds of crazy and I was happy to be here for it. I am interested to see what comes next for the series and as long as it is as trippy as it has been so far I’ll happily show up for more.

I still can’t believe we never got to see Lea’s new battle outfit. If you’re going into combat without flannel accents on your gear, then I don’t even want to speak with you.

I know I’m like a month out from this being posted but I wasn’t able to actually listen until last weekend. This was a great ep and it felt cathartic to hear the crew’s reaction to actually playing the game and seeing the lore in context. As someone who is also very invested in the series AND has an increasingly negative reaction to KH3 the more time passes, everything in this ep was relatable.

ALSO, also, that was my dumb email about Pete and I am so so happy Patrick read it out!
