@NinjaWarotMCph 4 года назад

Dark Riku's kill quote: "C'mon Sora, I thought you were stronger than that." could possibly be referring to their squabble in Re/CoM, and also somewhat is Riku's line in 358/2 on Roxas to see if he's actually Sora's Nobody: "C'mon Sora, I thought you were better than that." (Roxas replies with: "Look at who's winning!- (gasp)", pretty much Sora.)

@johnathonturner2279 4 года назад

I think it's also a callback to the first game right before the first phase of Ansem's final form.

@jasondavis2381 4 года назад

It's ironic, because this one battle against Dark Riku emphasizes how far the real Riku has come from who he was before his whole character arc, from CoM/Reverse Rebirth-DDD. And it also symbolizes him confronting his past demons by showing us how much of a better and stronger person he is now. Even Ansem the SOD notices it near the end of the game by saying "What an incredible journey you and I have had. You've grown a might that is stronger than darkness."

@EskChan19 4 года назад

I kinda liked these looping fight sequences while you approach them. It's one of the rare instances where a game actually shows someone else doing something. There's so many games that have these "Life or death of the world" battles of epic proportions but somehow you're the only one doing anything and everyone else just waits and cheers for you. It's nice to see the other groupmembers actually doing their own things and trying to hold their own even at overwhelming odds because they know what's at stake. That was a nice touch. Also, i never noticed that there are special quotes for restarting the battle after losing. That's a really nice touch.

@soratriforce2877 4 года назад

Actually, Xigbar's shotgun attack does have some origin. In KHII, he does a similar motion before firing a blue arrow that can be deflected with the Warp Snipe reaction command, while in Birth by Sleep, his original self Braig can charge up his arrowguns before firing a strong shot.

Great video breaking down everything in the boss fight! I can't wait to see the rest of the final battles. I never noticed the weapons on the walls in the corridor beforehand :D Also, I'm gonna say that the sparks in the cutscene before the battle start are just typical Square cutscene SFX that they always do when forces/weapons clash, and that there is no theming going on there, but who really knows for sure, right?

@MegaPaperMario 4 года назад

Huh. The animation for Xigbar's desperation move is a *lot* like Bard's limit break 3 (Sagittarius Arrow) in Final Fantasy XIV. Considering they're both SE games and there's a lot of FF references in KH, wouldn't be surprised if the move was inspired from it.

@marcoa6319 4 года назад

I feel like Xigbar is holding back some of his power as it really doesn’t matter to him if he wins or lose and that he also has his own plans as Luxu.

@ankurbhaskar4634 4 года назад

I’m sure you’ll be able to use everything in Riku’s move set in ReMind, given that as allies they have to have some restrictions on them. Sora definitely won’t be able to do everything you can as him when he’s a party member, especially when it comes to Links lol (like could you imagine if he could though lmao). Also after fighting Xehanort the whole labyrinth he created goes back down, or at least time reset itself at the Keyblade Graveyard to before he rose it after defeating him. Originally I thought Riku picked up the Replica off camera after Sora goes off, but the final ReMind trailer confirms Demyx came by while Riku was still there to pick it up. So Riku wouldn’t be the one to pick it up after fighting Xehanort.

@Netherman14TheHellblazer 4 года назад

They'll have to revamp and expand on Riku's moveset significantly, he only has six (I think that he does) physical attacks and two spells: Thundaga and Curaga. He was only playable for real in two games: CoM/ReCoM and DDD, only Dream Drop Distance is genuinely representative of a potential fully-developed Riku moveset for ReMind.

@ankurbhaskar4634 4 года назад

RedNether Shucks that is true. Hopefully they add Blizzarga & Aeroga to his move set too, along with some DDD moves like Meteor & Limit. Canny remember all his moves in KH3 tbh, need to watch Bio Roxas’s video of his KH3 moveset breakdown.

Am I the only one that glides over the pillars? EDIT: the sparks are the weapons clashing/grinding on eachother. That's just what happens, nothing lore related

@BioRoxas 4 года назад

Against Xigbar though it’s an energy shot and a blade rather than blade vs blade. Usually there are different effect for clashes but every time I have seen a guardian of light and a seeker of darkness clash, it has been this same exact effect. Edit: I also glide through everything as well xD

@supremeutilitarian6033 4 года назад

Yeah I personally think the sparks are just sparks from two sharp objects clashing quickly as well, since that's common in portrayals of sword battles or battles between sword-like objects, but he mentioned before that he has a theory that it symbolizes a clash between light and dark so i'm sure he just wanted to mention it again. No harm providing a theory afterall and who knows, knowing Nomura he could be right lol

@ashemabahumat4173 4 года назад

@benjamin7746 4 года назад

My theory is that they made the game overs canon Everytime we lost we actually go back in time just before our loss and erase the timeline where we die A similar thing happen in the final fight When sora get hit by xehanort's ray, isn't weird how we get the game over screen and when sora open his eyes he is still struggling to guard the ray, So it means that sora time traveled just before he got hit by it. Even xemnas has a quote where he says "are you back for more?" Xigbar too "the hero thinks he is ready now" and dark riku too. I Kinda find it weird that an ordinary boy can defeat the most powerful keyblade master with the X-BLADE... Hmmmm the power of waking maybe....

unrelated to this video but in the most recent screenshots on the official japanese website to remind, we see that Riku now has a Focus Bar during this fight, meaning that he will have at least one or two new attacks in forms of shotlocks (one if it works like BBS ones, and 2 if it works like the KH3 ones).
