Game Theory: The Frozen Level You Will NEVER Play! (Kingdom Hearts 3)

[@reilie9115]

Considering the parallels between Elsa and Riku, Sora actually helping her overcome her inner darkness the way this theory describes would make a lot of sense considering the game's themes

[@juliousg]

Yeah, after playing the game this made so much sense. You might like this video btw kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnKcmJhngLaKp9E

[@DracoMagnius]

Honestly I was hoping Riku would have been the one to go through Arendelle instead of Sora because I was excited by the concept of Riku talking to Elsa and saying "I know what your going through because I've been there." (or something to that effect), but if this theory is true that would have been almost as good a story.

Woah when you put sora and riku together, just realised no game no life characters also have the same name

[@sequoyachu98]

i agree and at least the game acknowledged that to an extent. Matpat kind of made it seem like the frozen world added nothing to the story and while i see what he means they did bring up the similarities between Anna trying to save Elsa and Sora from when he wanted to save Riku. it was a one-off thing but so was the tangled comparison so i felt that he shouldve at least mentioned it

[@steakslapn9724]

I love at the end of the level, you are dropped into a non sense battle with a giant ice wolf ( which is actually an awesome boss fight) and Goofy says in a dubious tone, "Sora, are you sure this is gunna help Elsa?" To which he replies "I don't know... but we gotta do something..." As if to sum up what every one playing the level was thinking at that point.

[@TheCrimsonMelody]

Coming across this comment I wonder if it also means that dialogue wasn't altered. If they are fighting a heartless boss Elsa and Goofy asked Sora if he thinks this will help her and Sora says he doesn't know. That would make sense.

Disney pretty much screwed up. It wouldn’t have mattered if Elsa was a villain in game considering she is sort of treated as one in the film. Plus acting as a role model for girls should mean that young girls should be inspired by her and act like her(minus the running away from home)

[@solaris9426]

@@ps4pro668 Funny thing is, if they allowed Nomura to use the story he wanted, which is that Elsa is conflicted about her powers, was corrupted by the peer pressure caused by organization XIII, and was rescued by loved ones, that would send a powerful, but positive, message about not only the dangers of peer pressure but also how valuable genuine love is.

This is old but I just now finished playing the game, so, I'd like to add something that I don't see anyone talk about, in the beginning of the level, when Sora speaks to Elsa, an ice heartless appeared, but instead of attacking, it went to her and kinda bounced a bit, as if waiting for orders, and what do Heartless do usually? Listen to whoever has the strongest darkness in the near vicinity...

[@thedorkknight9684]

wait, that's huge!

[@jacobsmith4428]

Wait, don't they simply obey the strongest person in the vicinity (exceptions for those like Sora and those who are exclusively fighting for the light)? Isn't that how Saix briefly controlled them in KH2? After all, nobodies are neither darkness or light.

[@crocuslament9680]

@@jacobsmith4428 True, but as we see with characters like Terra and Riku you can wield darkness without necessarily belonging to it/being a heartless. It's definitely the easiest way, hence Xehanort separating himself, but if we assume all power in the Kingdom Hearts universe falls into the greater categories of "Light" and "Darkness" then it becomes reasonable that Saix's Berserker magic falls under the purview of darkness- while his power does come from the moon Kingdom Hearts gives off a much more ambivalent feel than either solely malevolent or benevolent towards our protagonists. In KHI, it defeats Ansem with the power of light but then opens the way to the Realm of Darkness, and in KHII and DDD it's all but flat out said Kingdom Hearts as an entity would have and did aid in Xehanort's plan to form the New Organization.

They could‘ve made Hans your team member, befriending Sora & co and then turning out to be a (ice) wolf in sheeps clothing, much like he pretends to be a classic disney prince type, while having more cold hearted plans. Here he could be manipulating Sora, on Larxenes behalf, into hunting Elsa down at her castle. It could be a sort of callback to Soras almost fall to darkness and often playing into the villains hands. In the end teaming up with Elsa to take him down (also could explain the marshmallow sacrifice in the final fight) and becoming more smart/observing of who to trust and who no to as a moral in the end.

[@averyfields2871]

Yeah, Arendelle opened up with a lot of potential, but it felt empty the moment I realized it didn't really amount to anything. Larxene really got my hopes up, especially because if anyone was up for the job of tormenting beloved Disney characters, it would be her. Also, I think that the exploration of Elsa's character in the way that MatPat described would have strengthened her instead of hurting the brand. After all, wasn't Elsa made to look like the villain towards the end of the movie, and for similar reasons?

[@kaennokage]

Ideas always get cut or repurposed when more than one team are working on a game, it's just how game design works. That's why Metroid Prime 4 had to be completely scrapped and restarted.

[@papercraftcynder5430]

At least Nintendo was brave enough to announce that the project would take longer in order to ensure that the game that comes out will at least meet expectations. Kingdom Hearts III on the other hand had no extra time to work with. My guess is that it was already an eagerly anticipated game, and no one was willing to push out the release date in order to ensure that every part of the game was amazing.

It's sad to think about. That story would in a way fall in line with the movie yet be "original" at the same time. The entire movie Else is figuring out if she's cold like her powers or if she can do more and be more/better. From what this theory goes into it would of felt like an actual Kingdom Hearts world. They missed out on so many good story opportunities. The fact too they cut characters bc they had enough original characters. The selling point of the game was the combination of the two franchises. As much as I love Disney's movies and shows, when it comes to them partnering up it just doesn't go well.

Good news if there were spoilers though, maybe they could release an update or DLC showing the true story a month or 2 after the release of the movie.

having Elsa transform into a wolf also kind of makes sense if you take the expression of a lone wolf Elsa tries to be alone and keep everybody away, just like a lone wolf would do

[@DLxxx]

Yes! The symbolism of a lone wolf perfectly fits her struggle and need to isolate herself and her powers. Good catch! Edit: That said, I think it'd make more sense for it to be *released* from Elsa rather than have her physically turn into the creature (that's what I got from the video anyways). After Marshmallow puts himself in harms way, that would be the last straw before Elsa would be granted the courage to overcome her own darkness and lift the curse from Arendelle (potentially destroying the ice wolf too since it would've been a representation on how she viewed her powers when she was at her lowest point).

His evil scheme comes out of left field and other then falling in love too quick and a slight mess-up in his love song with Anna, he does nothing to hunt at being a villain.

[@komarunaegi7460]

@Allison Jenkins Kingdom Hearts is marketed to both young kids and older veterans of the series that have stuck around since KH1. That includes young girls that have recently seen Frozen. You're one person--just because you haven't played KH or only heard of it after a certain time doesn't mean all other girls haven't. A lot of young boys and girls got into Kingdom Hearts when KH1 and KH2 first came out and still love the series to this day as adults because they've been keeping up with the story this whole time. Just look at all the fanfiction and fanart around! KH is unique in that the way it's designed appeals to both causal players who couldn't care less about the details of the cheesy anime story about light and darkness and just want to play through some fun Disney Worlds, *and* the more serious players who get immersed in the story and original characters of the series, like Sora and Riku. KH3 doesn't do the best job at balancing that out because of marketing, executive meddling, and time constraints during development.

[@allisonjenkins167]

@@komarunaegi7460 I do understand that. I'm not saying that just because I hadn't played it doesn't mean others didn't. I just know that no one in my class at the time heard of it either. In a relatively small school system like mine had been, where everyone knew each other and talked to each other, none of the other kids ever said anything about such a game. The only game they ever did talk about were pokemon and other similar-like games. Yes, they could have heard of such a game and played it without any one's knowledge, that's very true. But to an outside perspective, (and one who cannot read minds) you have to assume they don't know about it unless it's confirmed otherwise. And I do agree that it's an amazing game, if I had money to buy both the counsels needed and the game, I would definitely play it instead of watching others do so. I wish I did hear about this game growing up, because having something that evolves and you are so invested in and is still around when you're an adult, that's something that doesn't happen often, and it's always really neat to look back on both your past and the games, and see how far both of you have come.

Also, it ties into the themes that Kingdom Hearts established about how Heartless feeding off of fear and hate, and not just a pride fueled power trip. Sora was turned into a Heartless but was able to change back in the first game, and Beast was able to do the same thing back in KH2, if you count a boss fight as him turning into a Heartless which the comics do. So Elsa could likely do the same with one of the most epic boss fights in the series.

Disney actually got around that with Once Upon a Time. Sort of.

But much closer to the original Snow Queen than Elsa ever was. The original Snow Queen story, like the book, sounds way more interesting than the Disney adaptations. In the original story, the Snow Queen is an evil ghost witch that kidnaps a boy after a shard of magic glass turns him into a sociopath, and then his sister then has to go on a journey to find and save him. A journey where she meets things like a witch that has fire powers and, of course the one thing Disney would actually use, a talking reindeer.

I remember when I went through the level I was thinking "Where did this Ice Maze come from? Larxene broke a big ice block and it turned into this gigantic labyrinth?" I don't know if that was what the idea was or not, but it sure as hell is confusing either way. The maps themselves are designed really well, and the enemies are great for the area, but the finished product makes little to no sense altogether.

TBH this is the reason I'm most excited for the ff7 remake. it's going to be kingdom hearts style gameplay but without disney holding it's potential back. disney's biggest issue is that it's always been scared of taking risks on a unrelated note there TOTALLY should have been a princess and the frog world. dr facilier was such a fantastic villain and already had an evil shadow vibe going for him which fits kingdom hearts PERFECTLY

Shutting down Else being a boss fight to be saved in her defeat was such a missed chance, not only as something interesting, but as a message to players. That it’s okay to struggle with feelings about oneself and that no one has to deal with those feelings alone. Disney missed out on such a good message to give in this game. Even someone as strong as Elsa needs a shoulder to lean on sometimes.

It's also worth mentioning that Larxene is lightning element, not ice. How the hell is Larxene making an ice labyrinth?

[@andreapiccolo8199]

THIS THEORY IS A SHAM. Elsa is supposed to be a NEW princess of heart which are supposed to be entities of pure light. Kairi is also a princess of light. In KH1 kairi creates her own nobody (namine) but not a heartless. Sora does create both in the same occasion. Elsa would have no darkness in her and could not be a villain.

[@allonsy3695]

U r correct they actually felt they needed an actual villain in the film and didn't have the budget to recreate and entire film around them so Hans was given a third act character change. You can actually tell after Anna and Hans are done singing their song and Hans is left to himself with no other characters around. He simply stares at Anna leaving and smiles. Because he actually loves her and is so happy he even met her. This scene and the third act heel turn have no connection though and I felt they always made Hans the bad guy because they didn't want to make Elsa look bad. Which is bs it would've made her badass. #Hanswasscrewed

[@neolithiumproduction]

Originally, the story was meant to follow the old classic fairytale of the Snow Queen. When the song writer presented "Let It Go" for Elsa, the story writers realized they could make Elsa into a redeemable character. Which as an older sister, I'm glad for because I really heavily relate to Elsa. I guess after that, they had to figure out an 'ultimate' villain, because Disney seems to hate the idea of redeemable villains. =P

Tl;Dr - this was literally frozen’s original plot, so yes, matpat’s theory is probably right. Source: me being OBSESSED with frozen right after it’s release.

Disney is their own worst enemy they missed out on a brilliant story arch here.
