I'm not a Kingdom Hearts person. I played the first game a bunch when I was 11 but I never beat the final boss so I never saw how it ended.
@chipandironicus released the final episode of their Kingdom Hearts LP though and I just watched it and THAT'S how the game ends?? I don't have a problem with the ending but fucking WHAT how was the sequel not a role reversal of Kairi trying to find her friends again who CARES about the mouse
Kingdom Hearts 2 should have been a tonally similar thing where instead of Sora hanging out with Donald and Goofy it's Kairi hanging out with Ariel (she got legs now) and idk Sora's mum or something
I have also not played Kingdom Hearts 2 and don't know shit about it. Except that my version is way better.
