Line 40:
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: Thanks to the secret ending and perceived [[Narm|Narminess]], {{spoiler|it's become a meme to look up at the sky and say "Sora" as Dearly Beloved plays in the background.}}
* [[Memetic Sex God|Memetic Sex Goddess]]: Aqua has been declared the sexiest character in the series by many. The fact that she's older and breaks the [[Damsel in Distress]] patterns set by previous female protagonists probably helped a lot. Then again, [[Fetish Fuel Station Attendant|there's all the fetish fuel]] put into her design too...
* [[Mis BlamedMisblamed]]: Yep, a few scenes were changed. Braig's telescopic scope was modified to look less realistic (and he's not shown attaching his guns into a sniper rifle) in the international release. But would you believe that some people are actually thinking that a scene in ''Dwarf Woodlands'' was censored? In the Japanese version, the Queen gets mad and grunts at the mirror, while her anger possesses it. In the international releases? She throws a potion (off-screen) at the mirror. The thing is, though, this was less of a censorship and more of a removal of a [[Narm]] moment (see below.)
** But believe it or not, the scene which ''everyone'' thought was gonna get censored? ''It wasn't''. You still see Braig's bloody cheek.
*** If the scene where {{spoiler|Eraqus got his scars from Xehanort in a similar manner}} is anything to go by, that's not blood, but rather a burn from darkness. Still, given that it inflicted [[Scars Are Forever|permanent physical damage]], it's about as graphic as the violence in the series can get.
Line 73:
* [[Tear Jerker]]: The ending of Terra's story. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHDYjHr5kEY Watch it] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1RUiSKzGJA here]. Spoiler Warning. The full ending (available after playing all three story modes) as well.
* [[True Art Is Angsty]]: This is without a doubt the darkest ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' game yet, with ''Days'' coming in a close second. The response upon finding out the endings in the Japanese version? That [[Square Enix]] and Disney have finally grown up. Never mind that Square-Enix had made ''darker'' games in the past; even before they merged into Square-Enix, and that Disney has been plenty dark on many occasions.
* [[Uncanny Valley]]: ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'''s Zack appears in Olympus Coliseum. He takes cues from ''[[Hercules (Disney1997 film)||Hercules]]'''s art style while still having a ''Kingdom Hearts''-style head. [http://www.khdestiny.fr/img/Autres/news/021209-bbs-scan2.jpg It doesn't mesh.]
** You think that's bad? That's just a younger, [[Tetsuya Nomura|Nomura-style]] Zack with an [[Hercules (Disney1997 film)||Hercules]]-[[X Meets Y|meets]]-[[Crisis Core]]-style armor. The real trouble is unmasked Vanitas. Now, the {{spoiler|"evil Sora"}} face can mesh with a bodysuit, but '''not''' with a Riku-esque battle stance. It just feels so... unnatural.
* [[The Woobie]]:
** All three of the main trio count, though Terra can veer toward the [[Jerkass Woobie|"I want to slap]] [[What an Idiot!|the guy!"]] variety for much of the game.
