Danniel I’ve played through the game this past week, I don’t think it ever clearly says “this is Roxas” it’s just kind of implied, especially because Roxas doesn’t seem to talk out loud most of the game. He’s keeps the hood up throughout the entire game, and you don’t actually see his face on the DS. Plus, to Data Sora, he’s never met or heard of Roxas, so to Data Sora, this is just some random dude with two Keyblades and a black coat. XD

[@0axis771]

Well, thing about Ventus and Roxas is... we know EVERYTHING about them, pretty much. 358/2 Days was literally Roxas' entire life right there. Birth By Sleep explained who Ventus was and why he went to Sora. Truth be told, it still doesn't make sense why Sora is so special. Yes, how Roxas and Namine were created from him, and how Sora can dual wield as well are explained, but why exactly is he ultimately the hero that will open the door to end everyone's hurt? Why was it that right after he was born, his heart could somehow make contact and restore Ventus' heart after it was damaged? I'm hoping that we learn more. And Sora's had development himself as well. In DDD, he literally took all of Roxas's memories after Roxas gave it to him, and still he endured it and remained how he was, but somehow stronger in a sense, or his resolve was stronger. Only thing is, we don't see Sora actively showing the suffering he goes through often enough, so we compare him to Roxas and Ventus, who have gone through pain and torment that we know about.

[@CarlosRodriguez-cl5dq]

Agreed. Sora feels like such a shallow character compared to Aqua, Ven, Terra, Riku, and Roxas.

[@gdadder]

The issue is sora is basically naruto, we have people who are dying left and right yet we have the protagonist who is an immature child who believes friendship is the key and answer to everything. And unfortunately that's true in kingdom hearts, then you have roxas who is fleshed out and pretty realistic on how people would act, he gets depressed, he gets sad and mad. Sora doesn't. Sora is literally always happy. Even when his friends may be fucking dead. when we're kids we don't really catch on to tropes like these, hence why most people when they're older prefer Roxas over Sora but when we're younger we like Sora.

[@UnfamiliarIntimacy]

RisingDarkness No, assuming you're asking a genuine question and aren't joking, when he says 'real hurt' the context he's saying it in implies that Sora doesn't know how it feels to lose friends and not have a identity of his own like Roxas does. To just be a common assassin of a organization he didn't sign up for. To learn that he's apart of the very thing the Org has been trying to eradicate or control all this time. He's saying Sora doesn't know how it feels to struggle, basically, and that the pain he feels is just artificial and is only available for him to experience through Roxas' suffering.

+Undoubtedly Bendy He does, just not onscreen. Or at least we can assume that he does, since Mickey promised he would tell the real Sora and we don't expect Mickey to break a promise. It's also important to note that Roxas teaching Sora about this pain is highly ironic, for a Nobody who is convinced he doesn't have emotions (much less, a data copy of a Nobody who is convinced he doesn't have emotions).

[@gdadder]

What really annoys me about this game is how much character development there is, but not at the same time. This is something the real Sora and Roxas can't share and bond over. Data Sora, who has the most character development and seeing and understanding people and feelings, doesn't even matter in the grand scheme of things. It's pure story telling for the player, and only wishing this was the Real Sora experiencing this! You can argue that this issue is somewhat settled in Dream Drop Distance, but I really wish he got the character development Data Sora got.

Right? This seriously should have been real Sora drifting through his memories or something. This entire game's story matters for nothing.

[@mrgameplay1001]

SmithSmithery The game's story does mean something, it's just the character development doesn't mean a whole lot. Data Sora had to have character development in order to access information that leads to Master Yen Sid needing to test Sora for the Mark of Mastery to see if really is ready to handle all that burden. It was also to tell players, even if Sora forgets, his heart will always remember which ends up staying true in DDD.

That's Roxas' same exact limit break ability from 358/2 days. Literally terrible for 1v1

[@TayTayLeFae]

They could have just gone with his normal limit break, not the dual wield one, and it would have been better.

[@wakewind4129]

3 years later, I know. But I think it's perfect. It shows how he's the strongest Light magic user in the series because only those with a pure and balanced heart can use it to that extent. So that means people like Ventus, Xion and Sora, maybe Kairi. Even Mickey, Minnie, Yen Sid or Merlin haven't used magic hour like this. They're powerful in other ways, sure. But they lack the heart to use Light abilities like this. Keep in mind this still is Roxas holding back a bit. He could potentially combine his limit break from kh2fM and in Days for another ultimate Light attack.

[@skaionex]

@@wakewind4129 that just sounds like a lot of roxas wanking to me lol

[@skaionex]

George Washington so a voice actor determines how much credit you give a character? And no, he hasnt beat riku multiple times. They fought once, and when riku held back his darkness (his stronger side), he got the better of him. Once riku let loose and released it, he stomped him. Also, sora and roxas are near the bottom of the totem pole of keyblade users. Bbs characters are all better and riku and Mickey as well. And before you say sora beat all the main baddies, he didnt do it alone. If it wasnt for riku in 2, he would have died many times over. And when has roxas fought any XIII member other than xion (if that counts) and axel? I like roxas but no need to put him up on a pedestal higher than he should be.

[@aias7981]

+johnathan carr I am not to experienced; I have only played 358/2 days and part of recoded. From what I have seen from the kh2 fight, it looks to me like Roxas is stronger. Kinda just want to start an educated discussion instead of people shouting their opinions.

[@johnnymcarr]

+Aias Adams I go off of the amount of things Sora has done, along with the fact Roxas would be as strong as sora was in Kh ( naturally) then you add his own feats he is incredibly powerful. Sora is stronger than he used to be by the end of KH2 Its fair to say he would likely be stronger. Not gameplay wise cause obviously you are the player. If we just use game cannon sora has beaten Roxas, Roxas had nothing to gain by holding back against him in recoded or KH2. Don't mean to rant but that's just how I see it, I like Riku the most but it's fair to say he is under Roxas and sora .

[@medecko4394]

I understand how complex and how great Roxas was written. But Sora made a very great point about despite the pain, he can at least learn something from that pain. Making him just as greatly written as Roxas. It may not be much, but it’s definitely a good thing to look on to. This is why Sora is one of the best characters and like-able ones. Not many people see it though. Sadly, none of this is real, since this is just coded data or whatever. Its not the Real Sora nor Roxas.

[@puterboy2]

Wouldn't sound less stilted to use "pain" instead of "hurt"? Because I don't believe the context of Kingdom Hearts was meant for a younger audience.

[@TurtleTime26]

+Jake Rutigliano The thing you need to understand is that "pain" and "hurt" mean two entirely different things, especially in the Kingdom Hearts franchise. Pain is brief, sharp, and fleeting. Hurt is long-standing, often dull, and won't go away unless you force it to.

[@puterboy2]

***** What about "suffering" or "torment", would it sound less stilted if they used those words as well?

[@TurtleTime26]

Jake Rutigliano Especially in the context that Vanitas uses it in, "suffering" in Kingdom Hearts is more physical than anything else. It's strange, but that's the way it is. As for "torment," I suppose it could be used, but generally that's a stronger word than "hurt," so only when describing extreme hurt could it be used. (Ex. "Sora, you are who you are because of those people, but they're hurting, and you're the only one that can end their torment. They need you") -aaah now I feel like a vocabulary teacher-

[@fightingmedialounge519]

Yeah, I think you've got your words mixed up pal. Pain is what usually last for an extended period of time, and hurting, more often than not, last within time it was inflicted. So, I say this is more the result of noumura trying to make conversations sound more important then they actually are.

Then the third game comes around and you can do just that. But the way it does it is so unsatisfying. Like I got them back, but I wish I had worked a little harder at it or gotten them back gradually vs all at once.

[@brilliantventure]

This scene meant so much to me the first time I saw it...only a year ago, around this time. I'd just lost a close companion...and then another close one was on their way shortly after... I was experiencing a ton of emotional and mental pain at the time, and all at once...but after watching this scene, something clicked in me...a lot of times when someone is grieving, they'll try to dismiss the pain, or try to forget the incidents/loss that's occurred, or the individuals entirely. They'll try to put it all behind them, wipe their own memories, because the hurt is too severe to acknowledge/handle...sometimes, that can break a person, and put them in a very dark place...but I needed this scene...it helped me remember that trying to forget the pain, or letting it throw you into darkness isn't the way...pain is a part of loving someone. Losing them is tragic, but it's best to hold onto your memories of loved ones after, than trying to sweep them under a mental rug entirely. It's better just to feel, grieve, and eventually accept the hurt...because it's better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all...I still deeply cherish the memories of those who are gone, because they are a part of me...and my memories keep them alive in my head. They were worth the pain of loss in the end. And remembering that after watching this scene was just what I needed to prevent me shelving my emotions away at the time, running away from them, and trying to become "numb" or "dismissive" of them. Plus, as Sora's interaction with Roxas at the end pointed out, the pain and experiences can become useful in empathizing and helping others who are going through the same things...That's the main reason (among others) that Re:Coded is my favourite Kingdom Hearts game!...I love anything that can teach me!

[@dinorex3464]

The best thing of the DS version is that you only learn that it's Roxas in this scene, because since the game's not voice acted you never hear him talk, which makes the entire build-up to this fight absolutely astounding. But then again, Jesse McCartney outdid himself here, so there's no way in hell I'm complaining XD.

When Roxas says, "It's way past time you learned what real hurt feels like!" Is he referring to the lost of his best friend, Xion?

[@TheDragonsPit]

+Jack Song Sadly no Xion's death soon led to everyone forgetting about her but as shown in the series it seems that instead of forgetting the memories of her were locked away from everyone Roxas Is talking about everything that's happened he doesn't like the fact he can't "Be Himself" which is what he truly wants and what Sora want's for him. But yes he could indirectly implying the Hurt he went trough after putting down the one person he cared about more then anything else...I'm hoping Roxas and Xion are brought back in KHlll as Roxas's story is a very tragic and sad one that still hasn't ended.

[@MrVince329]

[@tohruchan6093]

+Jack Song Or the lose of Xion and Axel. or any of the other crap he had to go through.

[@the_jones528]

Roxas losing Xion really messed him up. He thinks that having feelings is just an obstacle that slows you down, and he wants to go on a quest for vengeance for Xion, while Sora tells him that he basically OWES it to Xion to carry that pain with him, for it reminds him of her, and to live for Xion. Roxas understood that eventually, and I think that's how he was able to form his own heart. Poor kid never asked for any of it; it just happened, and him having to come to terms with who he is, and his purpose, and eventually becoming his own person is why Roxas is my favorite character in KH. I love Sora, I think he's very awesome in his own right, but Roxas has an origin story, a background, conflicting goals, and on top of that, he fucking dual-wields.

[@raynclinger2734]

Roxas is a much better character than sora in my opinion, roxas went through losing his best friends and his technical family in organization xiii just because some assholes decided he didn't get to live because he "didn't have a heart" when its pretty obvious that roxas got ventus's heart when sora turned into a heartless. Sora just whines about friendship and goofs off while roxas, ventus, Terra, aqua, hell even riku went through much harder things and have died or nearly died just for soras happy go lucky, blissful innocence. Roxas is right, sora doesn't know what real hurt is and that's exactly why many other characters in the series are way better and way more suited to be the main protagonist than he is. But that's my opinion, if you have a different one then I don't really care, hate on my post all you want, I just wanted to voice what I thought.

[@DenisK21]

Sora's actually aware of this completely at present. He knows it's because of them that he is who he is, and he firmly believes that Roxas deserves to be his own person.

[@ImmobilisDignitas]

rayn clinger Roxas is my favorite character in the entire franchise. XD Speak the truth dude! I agree with you.

[@raynclinger2734]

DenisK21 who cares if sora is aware of this? Roxas lost both of his best friends and he lost himself just so sora could go goofing off. Roxas can't see any of his friends anymore, not xion, Axel, Hayner, pence or ollete ever again. Just because sora needed a few memories back. The organization and sora have both emotionally fucked roxas over. What's the worst thing that's happened to sora? He lost his friends for a game and a half then reunited with BOTH of them all while keeping Donald and goofie by his side. But roxas? He can forget about even existing or seeing any of his friends ever again because of sora.

[@DenisK21]

rayn clinger Sora literally sacrificed his own heart to save someone else's, which is why Roxas even EXISTS. After joining with Roxas, he proceeded to risk life and limb fighting legions of darkness, Xehanort's operations, and the most evil villains Disney has to offer. And in the end of it all, Sora himself is determined to bring Roxas and others connected to him back from their sorrows and suffering. "Goofing off", my eye. Roxas's trials were never Sora's fault, they were Xehanort's, and Sora himself is among the ONLY people in-story to question whether their fates are really the right ones. I'm sorry, but this picture you're trying to paint of Sora has very little reflection with the truth of things.

[@raynclinger2734]

DenisK21 The truth is that because sora is pretty much the ONLY protagonist besides Donald and goofy to be Disney oriented, he's supposed to be completely innocent, happy go lucky, preach about friendship, and not have dark things happen to him and yes I agree, because sora wanted to save kairi, roxas exist, however its because sora released all the hearts in him that ventus heart was made into roxas, aka pretty much ventus with amnesia. Let's not forget, even if you don't like roxas let's go back to the vent us subject, sora wouldn't even be a factor in the kingdom hearts game if it wasn't for ventus, riku was the original keyblade wielder for kingdom hearts one due to Terra not sora. Sora was only able to wield the keyblade at first thanks to ventus heart. Both ventus and roxas were sacrificed to the Disney Satan called sora. Both roxas and ventus are better characters. I'll give sora credit where its due, he helped create roxas by releasing ventus, he has saved worlds, however in the end of dream drop distance we find out he was a total pussy yet again as riku had to save him from the numerous xeanort clones. In the end of pretty much every kingdom hearts game SOMEONE had to bust their asses just to save sora. Whether it be ventus, roxas, namine, riku, king mickey or whoever, someone always has to save his ass when honestly he's only really worth for the hearts he has trapped inside him.

[@kap1618]

This moment really feels like Roxas letting out all the pent up anger he feels towards his situation and how unfair his life was leading to him reuniting with Sora.

[@theprincessofmultifandomhearts]
