Why is ventus not in the top 5 more importantly why is ventus below terra!!

Because people don't appreciate a cool bro like Ventus and instead go for the heartthrob.

Smh at 7, 8, and 9 on the male list. Vanitas sucked and Saix, Marluxia, Xigbar,and Luxord stomp the pretty boys.

Marluxia's practically the definition of a pretty boy.

 

[WooHooAlex]

Aqua overrated. Riku and Marluxia underrated.

Seeeeeeeee...
This is why I can't get into Kingdom Hearts.

I completed the ENTIRE first Kingdom Hearts and a large chunk of of second game and yet I still know "nothing" about Kingdom Hearts...

Edit: if I've played the entire first game in a series and all the way up to and past your Pirates of the Caribbean themed zone in the second entry and I still don't know any thing about your series... You've failed as a story teller.

Nah. That's on you. Birth by Sleep (the game Terra is in) has been advertised by trailer, website, and many other ways (HD collections, etc.) for a almost a decade now by Square Enix. You really have to ignore the series fully to not even hear of the character before, especially a main character that is playable like Terra. Lol

Only ten? D:
She has more personality than any other female character in the KH games. Aqua is okay I guess, but she's boring and like a less childish, smarter Sora.

 

[BassForever]

Noctis and Lighting will be dope as fuck in kh3

 

[Gulz1992]

Isn't that Xion's entire thing? To not be remembered?

Touché. It's just too bad that I can't forget the rest of the Days "cinematic."

 

[LordOfLore]

Ha, Sakurai's comment is great.

 

[sappyday]

Roxas is the best character in the series

 

[TheGreatDirector]

I really wonder if characters like Xion, Roxas, and Namine will get happy endings in KH3. It would just suck if their personalities were permanently absorbed into Sora and Kairi.

 

[PlatStrat]

How the fuck is Xion above Kairi, let alone number 2? Namine is 10x better than Xion and if we're counting Maleficent she should be right up there with Aqua.

Xion actually does stuff?

 

[Razmos]

I think Xion has a tragic story but as a character I honestly don't remember her

 

[Village]

While, neat aren't these polls like horrible metrics to judge popularity? Very limited and specifically mostly children?

Regardless i like noctis being so high

Favorite part of the Kingdom Hearts games

1. Story (50%)
2. Battle System (14%)
3. Characters (14%)
4. Music (12%)
5. Other (5%)
6. Secret Endings (3%)

What on earth

Battle system and music not topping the charts almost has me scratching my head as much as praising story.

Kairi is just a plot device. Not a very good one either.

What on earth

Kingdom Hearts is basically a Square Enix telenovela featuring Disney, with all the sappiness, drama, asspulls and fanservice you'd come to expect of a long-running series. If you're asking long-time fans (as is probably the case with this poll) of course they'd be deeply invested into the story.

Nomura feels the same way:

The fact that "story" occupied the majority of responses in regards to fan's favourite parts of the series is a surprise. It occurred to me that most responses gathered this time must have been from pretty hardcore fans, seeing that the story is quite long and complicated. We always try our best to place our utmost effort into every aspect of our games, so I thought it would have been a more even spread.

I am surprised at how high 358/2 days is in the poll result. I guess it has to do with Roxas/Xion's popularity as well..
Also a bit surprised at how high Twilight Town is compared to Traverse town..

 

[Plywood]

None of this really seems surprising.
