* [[Angst? What Angst?]]: At the end of the story, {{spoiler|Riku passes the exam and is recognized as a Keyblade Master. Sora failed the exam when darkness seeped into his heart but he remained optimistic and set out soon after to train before he takes the exam again.}}
* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: [http://youtu.be/M6TZHGGD_Eo Each] [http://www.square-enix.co.jp/kingdom/3d/ and] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPND8ntVidA every] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zlex8ja2eNI single] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BssrlR_rdFc trailer] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=avs8xec1D0w sums] a lot of it up; for particular rejoicing moments, see [[And the Fandom Rejoiced/Kingdom Hearts 3D|the appropriate ATFR subpage]].
* [[Angst What Angst]]: At the end of the story, {{spoiler|Riku passes the exam and is recognized as a Keyblade Master. Sora failed the exam when darkness seeped into his heart but he remained optimistic and set out soon after to train before he takes the exam again.}}
* [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Awesome Music]]:
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Amwn4l3315M The new version of "Dearly Beloved."]
** The Kingdom Hearts remix of "[[The World Ends With You (Video Game)|Twister]]."
* [[Broken Base]]: {{spoiler|Lea getting a Keyblade and the revelation that Nobodys can grow hearts}} have had mixed reactions.
** The whole game breaks the base, mainly due to amping up the [[Mind Screw]] and [[Kudzu Plot]] like never before. This is either seen as a turn-off or an attraction. Also, because it [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|generated so much hype]] prior to release, it has the probelms of having ''dizzying'' expectations to live up to, and the base is further broken as [[Hype Backlash|it matches some while fails to with others.]]
Line 11 ⟶ 10:
* [[Complete Monster]]: Hey look, it's [[Sinister Minister|Judge Claude Frollo]].
** The sheer degree to which Xehanort has proven himself to be a [[Manipulative Bastard|bastard]] [[Grand Theft Me|of]] [[Complete Monster|the HIGHEST]] [[Kick the Dog|order]] in ''3D'' is something to behold. What we knew of his actions before this game, ''nothing he did compares to the extent of his evil in this game''.
* [[Continuity Lock Out]]: '''[[AvertedAn Trope]]attempted aversion for once.''' As part of the whole [[Milestone Celebration|"10th anniversary"]] aspect of the game, [http://kh13.com/forum/topic/30377-memoirs-feature-in-kingdom-hearts-3d-explained/ the announced "Memoirs" feature] proves Nomura's promise to "attract a new generations of fans to the series" to be true.
** In a game series about [[The Power of Friendship]], the fact that the trailer indicates Sora will have to fight {{spoiler|Rinzler/Tron}} in the ''[[Tron Legacy (Film)|Tron Legacy]]'' world arguably makes Clu even ''worse'' than he was in the movie.
* [[Continuity Lock Out]]: '''[[Averted Trope]].''' As part of the whole [[Milestone Celebration|"10th anniversary"]] aspect of the game, [http://kh13.com/forum/topic/30377-memoirs-feature-in-kingdom-hearts-3d-explained/ the announced "Memoirs" feature] proves Nomura's promise to "attract a new generations of fans to the series" to be true.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Wandanyan, the fat and doglike Dream Eater.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: [http://www.halolz.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/halolz-dot-com-kingdomhearts2-twewy-nobodiescomic.jpg This] correctly predicted the [[Counterpart Comparison]] between ''[[Kingdom Hearts (Franchise)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' characters and their ''[[The World Ends With You (Video Game)|TWEWY]]'' [[Expy|expies]] a long time before they were confirmed to appear in the same game. [http://www.halolz.com/2010/03/01/nobodies-business/ Lampshaded in the commentary.] All of this is coincidental, as the trope demands.
** Not to mention [https://web.archive.org/web/20130502081719/http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/The_Sceptre_and_the_Kingdom The Sceptre And The Kingdom,] predating this game by ''nearly ten years.'' Again, it's been a coincidence.
** Also, remember that music when you were at the Awakening stages at the start of the first ''Kingdom Hearts''? It's called "Dive Into The Heart", right? {{spoiler|And that's exactly what Riku does, going to that same place, near the end of the game.}}
*** It gets even better. {{spoiler|Roxas, Xion, and Ventus ask Riku the same questions that Sora got asked in his Awakening from the original ''Kingdom Hearts'', making the Awakening come full circle}}.
** Haley Joel Osment, the voice of Sora, also played David in ''[[AI Artificial Intelligence (Film)|A.I.: Artificial Intelligence]]''. In this game he finally finds the Blue Fairy.
* [[Ho Yay]]: Of the accidentally implied kind. When Riku first arrives at Traverse Town, the cutscene with his first meeting with Joshua ends with Riku approaching Joshua and saying "I'll help you" while the camera pans up in order to show the animation for the new Traverse Town logo. It wouldn't be so bad by itself, but sadly said animation ''[[Sexy Discretion Shot|begins with fireworks]]''. Add Joshua's perceived "[[Ambiguously Gay]]" status from [[The World Ends With You (Video Game)|the game he's from]] and you get the picture.
** In addition, his English voice actor ''does not'' help this situation. ''At all.''
* [[I Knew It!]]: People were expecting ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'' to get a world sooner or later, or for [[The World Ends With You (Video Game)|the TWEWY gang]] to make an appearance.
** We also knew that ''[[Pinocchio (Disney film)|Pinocchio]]'' would get a world sooner or later. Heck, we knew it in ''[[What Could Have Been|358/2 Days]]''.
** Fans knew a world for ''[[Tron Legacy (Film)|Tron: Legacy]]'' was coming due to the popularity of the Space Paranoids level as well as [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff|the movie's popularity in Japan.]] Let's just hope the light-cycles get an overhaul if it returns.
** The "symbolicness" of the cover, {{spoiler|a lot of fans expected Riku to be the true hero of the story.}}
* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Revelations in this game maymake qualifythe {{spoiler|Xemnas}}Organization, and {{spoiler|Xigbar/Braig}}save for thisXemnas trope,and asXigbar, welleven asmore {{spoiler|Isa/Saïx}}sympathetic.
* [[Just Here for Godzilla]]: Many former fans and every fan who hates the [[Kudzu Plot]] of the series are only playing this game for the ''[[The World Ends With You]]'' (Videocharacters. Game)|TheOr Worldif Endsthey're Withfans You]]''of charactersthe featured Disney movies.
* [[Moe]]: Rhyme, just like in her game of origin. Possibly more so.
* [[Narm]]: Riku's [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]] to {{spoiler|Anti-Black Coat.}}
{{quote| '''Riku''': "If you're a nightmare... I'll eat you whole!"}}
** In [[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|La Cité Des Cloches]], with the exception of the Dream Eater boss Bullet Gargoyle - as well as Sora himself - thrown in for good measure, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=Oii2TovTeFo the iconic "Sanctuary! Sanctuary!" scene made it into the game.] And it's just as [[Moment of Awesome (Sugar Wiki)|awesome]] as it has always been... except for the fact that there's literally ''nobody else'' in there aside from Quasimodo, Frollo, and Esmeralda. No French townspeople, just them. [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|And Quasimodo yells "Sanctuary!" only once.]]
* [[Ruined FOREVER]]: ''[[Mickey, Donald, Goofy: theThe Three Musketeers|The Three Musketeers]]'' is getting a world. One half of the fandom likes this (see the ATFR subpage). The other half was convinced they're running out of ideas. Very similar reaction with Mickey also being present in the ''[[Fantasia (Disney)|Fantasia]]'' world.
** Then again, the [[Disney Animated Canon]] has many settings that have never been re-envisioned in the ''KH'' series, not to mention that there's currently ''no'' [[Pixar]] movie represented in any game. In other words: [[The Simpsons (Animationanimation)|have no fears, we've got stories for years!]]
** Some new plot developments, such as {{spoiler|Lea getting a Keyblade}}, {{spoiler|time travel}}, or many of the characters being {{spoiler|connected to either Sora or Xehanort}}. Though the last two were before this game, this game seems to be capitalizing on that.
* [[Scrappy Mechanic]]: Mentioned in Nintendo Power's demo run of the game. The Drop Gauge allows you to switch between Riku and Sora as you please, but it steadily drops whilst playing, and when it's empty, you ''immediately'' switch to the other character...even if you're in the middle of a battle. [[Word of God|Nomura said it was this way in order to make sure the player gets both stories without breaking it up just like in Birth By Sleep]].
Line 39 ⟶ 37:
** Players can also find and purchase items that keep the meter full.
*** Sure doesn't help that the meter drops while you're ''shopping''. Though, it doesn't switch you over until exit out.
* [[Sweet Dreams Fuel]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HacdoXd6jqo&feature=relmfu Traverse In Trance] is [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]], and fitting a "sleeping" version of the already relaxing Traverse Town theme.
* [[That One Boss]]: {{spoiler|Young Master Xehanort looks like he's going to be this for a lot of players. He's fast, hits hard, has a lot of HP and can rewind time to the beginning of the battle when he hits 0 HP. The only way to defeat him is to use a Reality Shift on the clock that appears when he rewinds time and destroy it from the inside; however, you ''still'' have to keep him at bay whilst doing this, and the clock has as much HP as he does. If you don't do it in time, he simply rewinds time to the beginning of the battle and you have to start over again. His nickname of Trollanort is ''more'' than deserved.}}
* [[Ugly Cute]]: To an extent with the Dream Eaters; Nomura designed them to be appealing to the player, but not in the conventional sense of "cute and cuddly." The result is creatures like Wandanyan, who are decidedly odd-looking but still endearing in their owna way.
* [[Uncanny Valley]]: The Grid had Sam, Flynn, and Quorra from ''Tron: Legacy''. The faces are so realistic it's really creepy, especially when they share a shot with Riku and Sora who have kept their stylized faces. It's comparable to the ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean (Film)|Pirates of the Caribbean]]'' situation in the second game.
