    Default Birth By Sleep - Which Character was your favourite?

    So, having no internet at home means I've finally got around to playing this. I've already finished Aqua and Terra's story. I'm not sure if they're ordered by difficulty but Terra's certainly seemed easier than Aqua's. Ven's seems somewhere in the middle. But this might just be all in my mind!

    Anyway, the point of this thread, which character did you enjoy playing as the most?

    I thiiiiink I enjoyed playing through Terra's story best, followed by Ventus. I enjoyed Aqua as a character, but her story was so deeply inconsequential compared to the other two.

    Yeah her story wasn't as eventful as the others but I thought it was an interesting tale of someone sort of... caught in the middle I guess.

    I liked Ven's story the best but I liked Aqua as a character. I hope she has a big role in KH3.

    Yeah, I liked her best out of the lot, which made me sad that her entire thing was a bit uneventful. :{ Here's hoping for KH3!

    Basically have to echo what everyone else has said. Aqua was an awesome character but the other two stories were more interesting to play through.

    Honestly, I can't say. I started with Aqua, loved her personality, battle style, and even enjoyed her story.

    Then it got to the other characters and I just gave up. I had no desire to start over at level one with another character, especially since they weren't as fun to play, even at level one, as Aqua.

    Maybe I'll finish it sometime, but I really think the three-story gimmick has essentially killed this game for me.

He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    Honestly I'd do it. Sadly they are both a bit whaff to start out with but you can become a face wrecker pretty quickly.

    Terra and Ventus's stories are very eventful. Ventus's probably moreso that Terra. It was very cool seeing most of Organisation XIII whilst they were still normal people and before most of the events that lead up to KHI happened.

    Aqua is by far my favourite character though and it seems they really fixed her uneventful story issue in Birth By Sleep Final Mix - definitely hoping she shows up in KH3.

    Yeah, the multiple story thing has a lot of payoff. It's interesting to see how they all intertwine and connect with each other, I would try to tough it out if I were you.

    Aqua is the best. Ventus is fun too but that is more because I am a huge Sora fanboy.

    I haven't played BBS. I only know what I know from the epic squall of Spoilers across the internet. Since my PSP broke and I never bothered buying the game, this is the only way I can know anything about this game. Terra is the most realistic-looking Keybearer in my mind (I've never been fond of adolescent heroes) aside from Aqua and the KH2 Riku (although, I didn't approve of his attitude).
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
