Hi, Im Kaci. I play too much Kingdom Hearts. If you've got questions, I've got answers.

Did you know that the ending for 0.2 was originally going to be very... Different. One draft involve Aqua resigning to the fact that she was just doomed to always be miserable while another involved her losing what remains of her sanity and screaming at the heavens. Nomura decided that the ending we got was the most fitting of her character arc. Would you agree?

O_O I did not know that.

Well.  I think resigning herself to misery goes against the plot of 0.2.  I think her self-analysis and recognition of the darkness is what’s really important about her character development.  She went through BBS talking about how Terra has darkness in him and how that’s so bad, since those were Eraqus’s teachings.  But now she has to experience her own darkness firsthand as the Dark World draws it out of her.  And she also comes to trust in the guiding light of her friends in her weakest moments.  I think if she gave into darkness or lost herself, the plot of 0.2 would have had to be very different.

I think 0.2′s representation of Aqua is probably very fitting for her character.  She hasn’t lost her mind, but she’s not the same girl she was ten years ago.  You can see the cracks in her sanity: her self hatred, the way she talks to herself, and her hope constantly wavering.  I hope the next time Aqua makes an appearance, she still has these cracks.  I think it would be more interesting and in line with her character to see her struggle with the aftermath of this trauma than it would be to see another KH character give into darkness.  

That being said, if she just acts like the same old Aqua I am going to be pissed. >_<

Thanks for the ask!!
