Well, my most prevailing thoughts on Eraqus are how I want to see the flaws in his belief system stressed in later installments. It’s honestly kinda difficult to get to the point of discussing flaws with Light=Good Darkness=Bad (in the context of the series) when the games only touch on it fleetingly. Looking at you Fairy Godmother with that “You’re too young to know” bullshit on how to fight darkness with something other than light. 

On a bit of an aside, cause it was pointed out to me; we’re still not entirely sure what actual Mastery is supposed to entail, is it just down to the whims of the test and teacher? The only marker we have is if they can pass along a Keyblade’s power, I think, feel free to fact check that. I’d like to know how much of Terra failing his exam was actual failure and how much was Eraqus’s (shockingly picky, next to Xehanort) biases getting in the way. 

As for Xehanort….I have a lot of thoughts, he’s a pretty interesting villain to say the least and a potentially fascinating character if we can just wade through the vaguery that is Kingdom Hearts. If he weren’t a total dick I’d like to hear more from him about his view of Darkness as something vital to have, not just harnessing it for personal gain (& Norting) cause, again, it felt like they were going for a hint of everything not being literally black and white in terms of morality. Actually, now that I think on it, if we get much more of Young Xehanort in KH3 I’d especially love to see what (if any) good he’s done with his power, to balance out that foil thing he’s got with Eraqus.

And, as a pair, I’d certainly love to see what kind of friendship they had for Eraqus to let burning his face with Darkness become a byegone. Seriously.

Cool concept, just way too pricey & I think I’m personally better off just playing it at a friend’s place, especially since most of the games are just proof of concept stuff atm. 

I think one of the first reminders I ever read was that one about Sora’s parents forgetting about him in CoM but still having a boy’s bedroom upstairs & not knowing why. It’s at least one of the earliest I can remember & it still gets me sometimes.
