You know what's gonna suck?

When KHIII reveals that everything from the beginning of Birth by Sleep was actually Terra's Mark of Mastery test. The whole damn thing.

Fighting evil bubbles? Part of the test.
Choosing Riku as his successor? Part of the test.

Spoiler

Killing Eraqus? Part of the test.

Spoiler

Having his heart taken over by Xehanort? Part of the test.

Fighting Sora in KHIIFM+? Part of the test.
Everything that happened with Organization XIII? Part of the test.
Whatever happens with him before he's freed from whatever situation he's in right now because I seriously don't have a clue? Part of the test.
And the worst part? He failed.

 

I put the blame on the Land of Departure education system.

 

Game's almost two years-old, no need to put spoiler tags.

 

I haven't played it, and neither have many on this site.

There is no time limit for something to spoil someone because there is no time limit for them to play it.

 

So this is also valid for KHII/CoM? Maybe KHI, too?

 

Correct. Though Kingdom Hearts (I) is a bit of a given because if you are on this site you have probably beaten the game, which is what led you here.

Unless you are me. I have not.

 

Explain your reason for connecting these ideas. And please, use spoiler tags.

 

In that case, you're missing out on a lot. And I believe the KHV community is a bigger influence, from what I gather.

 

Terra is Anakin Skywalker.

He has to have redemption somewhere in the plot.

 

Yeah, I'm aware.

The thing is that I would rather miss out until I get a hold of the games in question and get to play them. I don't have PSP or the money to get one.

There is no time limit on courtesy.

 

That will suck, mainly cuz he probably failed.

 

Noted. I apologize for my first reply.

@OP: Who'd be his MoM overseer if not

Spoiler

dead Eraqus?

 

Indeed to this.

The games are actually pretty good. Well, KH1, Re: CoM, and BBS are good. The rest... I reluctantly play them to understand the story.

Also:

>No Zidane from FFIX
>Only one FFIX character and the only part he played didn't really happen.

What the ****, Nomura. It's the best one. Even THE GOOCH agrees that it's the best one.

 

All part of the test. Eraqus has been his overseer this whole time. Kinda puts the whole "I'm gonna send you into a world of dreams where you might get killed as your exam" thing into perspective, eh?

 

Spoiler

"In order to become a Master you must kill me"
"Isn't that kinda against your statement about me controlling darkness? And how will you declare me Master if I kill you?"
"Shuttup and kill me!"
"But-"
"Do eeeet"

 

Spoiler

*Xehanort kills him before Terra does*
"Son, I am disappoint..."

So that's why he

Spoiler

cries!

 

KHIII Epilogue:
"Terra, after all you have been through, I would first like to say that I am incredibly proud of you. You have shown me that darkness need not be suppressed if you your heart is strong enough to control it. That said, your Mark of Mastery exam is now complete."
"But, Master, didn't I fail a long time ago?"
"That was part of the test, as was everything else you've been through."
"I see. I am honored to have taken part in a test of such complication."
"Anyway, I am sorry, but you've failed."
"What?! But Master, I-I you were just saying how proud you are of me."
"Yes, but you made two mistakes. First, you were supposed to choose Sora as your successor. You had one chance to redeem yourself after that, but failed there too."
"What was that?"
"When you met Sora in that wasteland after eleven years of waiting for your friends to rescue you, you attacked him. I am sorry, but you are not Master material."

It's going to suck so much when I'm right about this.

 

I blame the parents.

 

What parents?

 

Oh snap .
