Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep: Ventus

Let me preface this by stating I never did one of these for Aqua, sadly because it was difficult. I tried but it felt to serious and I wanted it to feel similar to the fun filled feeling I had with Terra and Ven which just didn't happen.

Okay, so after beating Terra’s story I did Ventus’. Mostly because the order Nomura said was Terra, Ventus, then Aqua. 

Anywho, the happier feel of Ventus’ story is nice after beating Terra’s, and not because I don’t like darker more serious stuff, but I mean… Terra had some serious stuff goin’ down with his darkness. So, it was just a nice change a pace. Then it got to that scene flashback land where Terra made Ven cry and I wanted to be like

because I grew attached to Ven and his more carefreeness. Terra did make it better in the scene though because he said something then Ven was all like

Although, I don’t quite understand why Terra and Aqua act more like they’re his parents than brother and sister figures. 

Then after everyone is all like, “Ven, you just need to go home!” Ven pretty much is like

and then after that, in all the worlds you go to Ven is like 

with the people he meets in other worlds. 

Then when I got to Deep Space and Stitch came out of nowhere and Ven talks to him, Stitch pulls out a Wayfinder (the star shaped things Aqua made) that he made himself and looks at Ven and says all their names and “Fren” (exactly like that) I’m like

because of the cuteness in his little animated face as he says it.

Then, later, that annoying big guard guy (I have forgotten his name, it has been years seen I last saw Lilo and Stitch, sadly) walks up to spouting off his nonsense about how Stitch is nothing but a destruction machine and shoots his wayfinder I was like

but then I was like

to the guard guy because that was messed up. He probably worked hard on that thing because he wanted Terra, Aqua, and Ven to be his friend.

Then I finally got to the end of Ven’s story but before that I spent a good while leveling him and getting more abilities. It turns out that when I fought Xehanort with Terra I was level 28 and had lots of issues. As Ven I did it at level 34 and didn’t have any issues at all. I also had more Thunder Surges with Ven too. Regardless of that though, when I finished I still felt like

Then for his little “You finished his story!” cut scene I felt like I was left with more questions than answers.  

I’m off to start Aqua’s story. 

Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep: Terra's Story

Let me preface this by saying I made this at least two years ago and posted it on tumblr (atimeatanevent.tumblr.com) with no shame, so I'm doing the same here. I don't think this really counts as a review, but it's still fun and I thought I'd share. Ven is up next!

Alrighty, so lately, I’ve been playing KHBBS. I love Kingdom Hearts. There a just a few things that made me want to bash my head in though. 

In Radiant Garden, after you fight that thing with Ventus and Aqua, Aqua’s telling Terra that she’s seen the things he’s done in other worlds like he’s done some true and real harm and I’m just like,

because Terra never did anything wrong on purpose. He didn’t know that certain people (i.e. Maleficent) was evil. He knew that queen lady that told him to take Snow White’s heart was evil, and guess what Aqua, he didn’t take her heart. Then Terra gets annoyed because of Aqua’s accusations and yells at poor Ven.  

Then when I got to the Olympus Coliesum I thought I was never going to get past it and then when I finally did I was like

because I got to form a D-link with Zack and for some reason that made me really happy.

Then when I got to Deep Space my first thought was, “Why are we in Halo?” and was like

Then I was like

when realized what a retarded moment I had that it was Lilo and Stitch.

Then when I got to the Keyblade graveyard I fought me some tornadoes. Then went to clash against Xehanort. And when Xehanort took over Terra’s body and his hair turned white it was like

because I never made the connection that Terra looked like the Xehanort I knew from other Kingdom Hearts games.

Then when you had to fight him, if you could have seen me, there was much of this

because I thought I’d never kill the man. Then when I realize it was mostly a battle of patience and timing when you attack it got easier except his hits hurt… a lot.

Oh, and let’s not forget that every time Vanitas talks I’m like

because I love Haley Joel Osment’s voice (and Sora) but it was sad that Vanitas barely makes an appearance in Terra’s story.
