My Six KHBBS Alterations

Even then I would be wary about having them all meet up. The time they were all in Radiant Garden they should have either stuck together for the remainder of the story or at the very least swap notes.

I'm surprised they didn't have Ven meet Sora. I mean, given the other two met their respective counterparts.

That's an interesting idea. Would it be one character per chapter and they all swap at set points? Cuz honestly I personally felt that the entire story should have been set to one file, only you can freely swap characters whenever (Like DDD, except without the drop gauge). So you run through a few worlds for Terra, then swap to Ven and essentially start at the beginning, and then swap to Aqua and do the beginning again or swap to Terra and pick up where you left off.

Personally I would argue to make Disney Town more story relevant and less of a minigame world, but that's just me.

This all the way. Seriously, Terra should have realized how he seems to meet bad people each time he arrives in a new world. I think Castle of Dreams is like the one world where he meets a good guy first. Also I feel that Eraqus' death should have been handled differently. Like, Terra arrives as Eraqus is about to kill Ven, Terra interrupts that, and then Ven slips past Terra to Eraqus and they both explain what's going on. While this is happening, Xehanort stabs Eraqus in the back and then Terra focuses his rage on Xehanort (That way he still gets to tap into his dark powers).

This part would require giving Ven a different design from Roxas. Which honestly I feel should have happened anyways cuz I don't think KH3 will really handle Ven and Roxas meeting properly. I don't think the two will be as confused as they should be.

At the very least, have Mickey leave out Sora and Riku's names. It does go against the Blank Points video or whatever that shows Aqua meeting Ansem and him telling her Sora is saving the worlds again and again.

I do have one other alteration to suggest, though it may then introduce a plot hole with KH2. Include a scene where Mickey actually meets Terra. That, or change his dialog in DDD. Having Mickey meet Terra in BBS does then make you wonder why he wouldn't recognize Terranort in that one flashback in KH2, but on the other hand Mickey referring to Terra as one of his three friends in DDD makes absolutely no sense since Mickey never met Terra.

 

Honestly I don't think the Aqua/Kairi meeting felt forced. Even the Kairi keyblade explanation, it's not so much forced as it felt... Odd I guess? It makes one wonder the point of Terra making it seem like an actual ceremony if keyblade inheritance can happen by accident.

I do feel they should have given each character at least one unique world, but honestly I'm not sure how well the story would work if you're forced to stop playing as 2 of the characters long before the final battle. It doesn't make much sense to stop playing as Terra around Radiant Garden (Arguably about the 1/3 or 1/2 point of the story) and then not see him again until the final battle.

Well, we both beat KH3, so we know how this works out.

While on the subject of BBS changes, there's a question I've had in my head about how canon one could consider the non-video game versions of these games. What I mean specifically is that there are light novels of BBS and in them there are 2 chapters focused on Ven and Vanitas that aren't in the game and of the 2, I consider the Vanitas one more important when considering if it's actually canon or not.

Basically, in this chapter, before Ven made his connection with Sora, Vanitas' face was that of an Unversed and, more importantly, the way Vanitas felt about the Unversed. Vanitas creates Unversed, attacks them out of anger, their pain he caused flows back into him, which causes him to create more Unversed, rinse and repeat. Oh, and Xehanort was super abusive to Vanitas. I'm curious how canon that should be considered to be.
