>The bad guy apologized
>>728957175Well at least he's sorry.
>>728957175What is this hazbin hotel bullshit>SURE HE RAPED HUNDREDS OF CHILDREN ON HIS PRIVATE ISLAND BUT HE SAID SORRY!!!
>>728957175Are they not both dead anyway and this is just for not being resentful ghosts?
>>728957175Literally this is worse than the Xion just suddenly existing in this game. This man ruined multiple lives and engulfed thousands into darkness but he said, "My Bad" and all is well
>>728957175>>728957380
>>728957175>dedicates his life to fucked-up experiments that resulted in the equivalent of entire planets being wiped out>still gets to go to Keyblade Heaven and have gay twink sex with his bf for all eternityHas any other vidya villain ever gotten away with it this fucking hard?
>>728957930Vergil has the same ending just with his brother.
>>728957930The Arbiter in Halo glassed tons of planets and killed billions
>>728957679Eraqus was. Xehanort wasn't, but his entire plan was more or less a drawn-out mid-life crisis.
>villain kills billions of people>either he will continue killing additional billions or he will get just redeemed as a good guyIf you think about it's not a bad deal.
>The Doctor Mengele of Narutoverse gets a pardonJust like unit 731
>>728957175>bad guy is in the perfect position to kill the player >instead publicly apologies for the people he killed
>>728957175Okay. I believe you.
Other than Richter from Hotline Miami, did any of these villains ever actually mean it?
>>728957930The villain, what's-his-stupid-face in Xenogears not only gets away with it all, he becomes god or something & just fucks off cuz he already won.
Fucking Xehanigger!
>>728957751At the very least I'm glad Sora said fuck that shit while everyone else was being forgiving, which is funny to me that Nomura would lampshade how fucking stupid it is even though they did it anyway, but I guess that's Kingdom Hearts for you.
>>728958710He did until KH3 ruined it. Luxu / Xigbar means it
>>728959348Did anyone aside from Eraqus even forgive Xehanort.I think MoM also confirms that Kairi doesn't forgive him either.>>728958710>>728959679Xehanort always wanted to restore balance: He just initially thought that the balance was skewed towards light and combined this take with "oh shit, I'm getting old" to do the whole "get the X-Blade and become a god" thing.The problem is A. This is only actually explained in the reports (which are not above being retconned), B.Ansem and Xemnas were retconned into being in on the plan, which adds even more blood to Xehanort's hands, C. a translation error making it seem like he champions light when he's actually saying "FUCK light, FUCK darkness,I'm getting rid of both" and D. the idea that most of the cast forgives him.
>>728957175WHEN YOU WALK AWAY
>>728960124What exactly is the negative effect of too much light, anyway?
>>728960716Kingdom Hearts doesn't really go into it, but one would assume that it's the same as too much darkness.Given how Final Fantasy-coded this series is, the idea is technically explored there in a few games, particularly FF3 and FF14. In FF3, the Cloud of Darkness appears to return the worlds of Light and Dark back to the Void from whence they came. From what I've seen of FF14, there was a world that had a literal flood of light that more or less erases parts of the world while the denizens turn into monsters.
>>728961042Yeah I know 14's schtick. Basically light is stasis. Too much light turns the entire world into a featureless wasteland of stagnant aether and spawns light-aspected demons I just didn't know how Kingdom Hearts approached it and from my understanding while it did seem to want to preach about balance, it didn't do a great job of showing why excess light is bad
>>728960716Master of Masters, he's willing to make kids into keyblade wielders and send them to kill each other just so he can draw the darkness out and destroy it. Obviously backfires so he puts more and more children at risk to continue his fight against darkness.
>>728961410Eh. I was expecting something a little more...foundational to the world itself rather than someone's personal autistic crusade unless the light itself was somehow compelling him to do it and even then it feels a bit weak
>>728957930>>still gets to go to Keyblade Heaven and have gay twink sex with his bf for all eternityWhy do faggot retards like you keep saying this? Heaven and Hell aren't a thing in KH. You die, you go back to Kingdom Hearts and get recycled into a new person. That's it. Sora beat that old man to death and the last thing he did was give up the ghost and let himself die.
>>728961293too much light makes you a liberal
>>728961293Yeah, that's the problem with that being Xehanort's motive. If you aren't familiar with Final Fantasy, then the idea that Xehanort has a point (even if his idea of following on that point is still very bad in terms of the damage it causes) isn't really something that is demonstrated so far, especially when - again - his actual motive is kept to the reports. Then again, maybe the saga that KH starts will touch on it.
>>728958836Krelian and he doesn't become god, he just decide to go with him to his home dimension. And yeah, he got away with everything.
>>728962986>And yeah, he got away with everything.That's pretty fitting for Xenogears, though
