Kingdom Hearts Challenge Day 17: Favorite intro

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance

This is the best intro to me because it tells the entire story, up to the present of the Kingdom Hearts series in a short and beautifully animated video.I also love Mickey's role, and how he jumps into the story at the right time :)

Kingdom Hearts Challenge Day 10: Favorite orginal Disney character(s)

I have many:

Belle

Especially when she elbows Xaldin and gets Beast's rose back :) I loved that part. I also like the strong front she put up to keep Beast safe in Chain of Memories, and her role as researcher in the Hollow Bastion library.

Goofy

I've loved Goofy since I was little. I also loved some of his dialogue in the series. Especially his speech in Hollow Bastion that he isn't going to betray Sora and when he asks Donald to tell the king that he's sorry. I just loved that part :)

Donald

I have always had a soft spot for Donald. I think we can all relate to him in one way or the other, because he gets frustrated about every day things.

King Mickey

I love Mickey, but he's even cooler in Kingdom Hearts. I love some of his conversations with Riku during Chain of Memories. He has some great quotes and I like his mentor role in Birth by Sleep for Ventus, Aqua and Terra.

In short I love a lot of the Disney characters :)

Kingdom Hearts Challenge Day 9: Favorite Music

Dearly Beloved (every version)




This music is perfect to write to, take a break with and of course listen to before going to sleep. I always picture waves crashing against the shore.

Twilight Town



 I love listening to this one while I'm writing, and sometimes while I'm reading. I always picture the clock tower, and the sunset over the town.

Roxas



This melody is nice to chill with. I usually listen to it while I'm writing or on my break. It's calming. 

Kingdom Hearts Challenge Day 7: Favorite Heartless

I think the standard shadow heartless are really cute :)

Now, there are more types of enemies than heartless. Here are my other favorites.

Nobody:

Roxas :)

Also, Dragoons are really cool

Unversed:

The hareraiser is a cute, nearly harmless unversed.

I also like the Mandrake, even though it is easy to get killed by when it shoots razor leaves at you from the ground as far as it can.

Dream Eaters/Nightmares:

Necho Cat first and foremost. It uses music and it's really cute.

Pegaslick appear in the Fanatsia world Symphony of Sorcery. I think they're really pretty.

Electricorns are also in the Music world, and they create lightning storms.

Tatsu steeds are really elegant.

Keeba Tigers remind me of the Ceurls in Final Fantasy X

 Lord Kyroo is such a noble frog prince :)

Kingdom Hearts Challenge Day 6: Favorite Land(s)

You walk in a moonlit garden or a path of clouds in the sky. Everything is music. Every sound you make. Every battle you fight. Every dreameater you see. Even you become music, making sounds like the clash of symbols when you fight. As you go further, you reach a new area. You are in the twilight wood or a windy glen. In the twilight wood, you walk on a path of leaves in order to reach the winter tundra. In the windy forest, you ride wind spirals and change the area from a rain storm to calm spring by playing a small piece of music . Mythical, musical dream eaters surround you. Finally you reach the fields, with Greek pagodas and barrels of grapes. In short, this world was so beautiful.

It's always sunset here. Calming music plays while you walk on a cobblestone  road and investigate the seven mysteries of Twilight Town's Sunset Plaza. You can ride the train there and back, or watch it from the top of Sunset Hill. Or you could sit on the roof of the clock tower and watch the constant sunset, sharing stories and ice cream with friends. There's even a spooky mansion to explore, hidden in a forest outside of a hole in the stone wall near the tram station.

This castle has everything! A great stone bridge with gargoyles guards the front door. The courtyard garden is filled with statues. A secret passage grants a way through the castle and towards the roof.  A hall of knights in armor greet you on your way towards the forbidden west wing. The great ballroom is all dressed up and ready for the main event.

 One more favorite (especially in Birth by Sleep)

One word: Fountains!

Dream Drop Distance: A review

I just finished the game Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance and loved it  :)

I recommend this game for both first time players and avid fans. The story came together nicely and had a few twists and turns that kept you guessing. As for game-play, it takes some time to get used to flowmotion, but the Dream Eaters are really fun to create and battle with. I love this whole series and the conflict between light and darkness is a deep and intriguing story to explore. The depth of the quotes, the complexity of the characters and of course the symbolism of  the heart versus the mind make the story of this video game like an epic novel.

Among my favorite parts of the game are:
Fantasia world, made of music and sound
Learning more about the past story- what's really going on with Kingdom Hearts
Familiar faces
The Mark of Mastery exam, and its results
New levels for Traverse Town
Dream Eaters- similar to Pokemon and Neopets
The Soundtrack
Dropping- keeps you on your toes
The Grid
3D scenes and gameplay
The secret ending ^_^
The opening sequence- an artistic summary of the entire series up to now

To wrap it up, this game was amazing. Can't wait for the next one!

Number 1 item on wishlist: Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

This game will be released either next month or in August.
I love every single Kingdom Hearts game, and I'll probably buy them all.
It combines two of my favorite things: Disney and Final Fantasy.
I also love the deep story and intriguing plot line. My favorite character is Roxas, because he is a thinker and his strength shows in all he has overcome. Ventus is a second favorite because he is similar to Roxas, in more than appearance.
The story may seem straightforward good versus evil, but it explores the world of the subconscious and the meaning of the heart. Symbolism is also important to the main tale. The main character's name "Sora"  means sky and represents his connection to so many people and worlds. The reoccuring themes of sky, sea and earth play out with Sora, Kairi and Riku; Roxas, Namine and Axel; and Ventus, Aqua and Terra. Nobodies are the product of someone else and their name is scrambled with an X to represent that they are shadows.
Honestly, I could go on forever about this video game series. It has some powerful and wise quotes.
This video game actually inspired me to write a new story, and the soundtrack is part of my writing playlist.
I can't wait to see what happens next, and the new Disney characters that will appear to make the game more fun :)
My Favorite Worlds are:
Beast's Castle
Twilight Town
and Radiant Garden
Atlantica is also on the list because it's under water ^_^
