Part 112: The Rest



Well, we covered all of the Organization members. Now we're going to go over the rest in one update.



First up is Xion. I still don't know what her deal is, beside appearing in DDD for like two seconds.

Anyway, her weapon is pretty much exactly the same as Roxas'. The only difference is that she didn't get to dual-wield Oathkeeper and Oblivion. She gets Kingdom Key+, just like Roxas in other modes.

She can still wield Oathkeeper, just like Roxas. Also just like Roxas, she can't wield Oblivion, though.



Default: Soul Eater (A sword that swims with darkness. Possesses high Strength.)
Pandora's Gear: Oblivion (A Keyblade as black as darkness. Boasts superior Strength and Magic.)
Zero Gear: Way to the Dawn (Riku's Keyblade. Boasts superior Strength and Magic.)

Speaking of Oblivion, apparently Riku can wield it. I checked; his combo is different with the one from his fight.

Riku has the 'honor' of not having any innate resistances while everyone else in this update have innate light resistance. Why they didn't just give Riku darkness resistance and make a new Blind status effect is beyond me.



Default: Knight's Shield (A shield that befits someone kind and chivalrous.)
Pandora's Gear: Frozen Pride (An extremely capable weapon that brims with Magic and the power of ice.)
Zero Gear: Dream Shield (A shield whose strength is kindness: the desire to help one's friends.)

I only showed 3 weapons for each character here because...well...that's all they have. They only have one weapon for Zero Gear, one for Pandora's Gear/Pandora's Gear+, and one for the rest. So no joke weapons in this update, sadly.

Worth noting is that each weapon actually have their own description, not just which stats are boosted like for the members.



Default: Mage's Staff (A staff that belongs in the hands of a real wizard.)
Pandora's Gear: Centurion (An extremely capable weapon with the strength to smash through boulders.)
Zero Gear: Dream Rod (A staff whose strength is spirit: power the eye cannot see.)

I believe Centurion can break boulders if Lexaeus is the one wielding them. I don't think Donald can even break a Shadow.

Anyway, the gears beside Pandora's Gear and Zero Gear all give the default weapon. They just give different tiers of the default weapon.

Omega Gear, Champion Gear, Ultimate Gear, and their + versions give the ++ weapon, in this case Mage's Staff++. Duel Gear++ (not the others), Crisis Gear, Rage Gear, and their + versions give the + weapons, in this case Mage's Staff+. The rest just gives the default lowest tier.



Default: Kingdom Key D (The King's Keyblade. The dark side of the Kingdom Key.)
Pandora's Gear: Star Seeker (A weapon that makes it easier to stay on enemies during aerial combos.)
Zero Gear: Kingdom Key DΩ (The TRUE ultimate Kingdom Key D. Possesses excellent capabilities.)

Yes, Kingdom Key D and DΩ is pretty much the same. It would've been neat if Kingdom Key W was used here, but I guess they didn't think Mickey would change his Keyblade.

I still think it's very stupid how Keyblades can just be broken very easily in KH3. And how they can just go ask Yen Sid for new Keyblades. Even if it's justifiable because we didn't see the Realm of Darkness much, it's still stupid.



Default: Kingdom Key (The most basic of Keyblades.)
Pandora's Gear: Bond of Flame (An extremely capable weapon that is replete with the power of fire.)
Zero Gear: Dream Sword (A sword whose strength is courage: the will to stand against anything.)

It's less of the will to stand against anything and more the will to not really give a fuck about most things. It's honestly the best thing you can do in Kingdom Hearts.

I appreciate that all Pandora's Gear weapons in this update are taken from KH2 and the rest from KH1.



I'm surprised that Xion and Sora's pose is different from Roxas since everything else about Xion is the same as Roxas and Roxas is supposed to be Sora's clone. That's the benefit of having multiple victory poses in KH1, I guess.

I like Goofy's victory 'pose' the best



I like Donald's withdraw 'pose' the best. He's so cute jumping in frustation like that

Anyway, that's all the weapons in this game. All that's left is just one final update.
