You know, I appreciate oathkeeper and oblivion for their significance to the story, but I'm not a huge fan of their designs

The best keyblade design I feel is the KH1 Ultima Blade.

The Fenrir is the only one I can remember that actually looks like a freaking sword and one that might actually hurt. I know it's kind of simple design but I like it for its simplicity and it's rugged design, I also like the tape around the base of it as well.
The Ultimate Weapon from Kingdom Hearts is just so pretty, seems like it has a lot tacked on but it has an elegance to it I like. Plus it packs a punch, I worked hard to get that bad boy in KH1, it had better have been worth it!

Yeah for BBS you want to install, set to 333MHz, and 32-bit color. not sure why it won't let you install.
Best game.
Why would you want to install it if you already ripped the UMD?
Anyway, on topic, my favorite Keyblades are the Oathkeeper and Oblivion. Seeing Sora and Roxas dual wield them in KH2 was just awesome.
For double the smoothness.
Speaking of Keyblades, that reminds me. Why is the true Keyblade written as x-blade yet they call it Keyblade?
It's spelled χ-blade, not X-blade. It's not an X. It's pronounced "Key".
Hence: "Key-blade".
I think Master Xehanort did a whole show and tell about this in BBS. Basically, they've just done it to make things a little more confusing to everyone, I'd imagine. The Kingdom Hearts writers have become self-aware about it, and are now just messing with the fans. And, well, would we have it any other way? I'd be disappointed if Kingdom Hearts 3 didn't have a somewhat odd story.
But since χ is not a common key on a keyboard, X is used as a decent enough replacement.
The combo ISO+Data Install does double the smoothness, unlike Dissidia for instance.

Kingdom Hearts 3 will have the most convoluted story of all time.
Agreed! Birth By Sleep is a fantastic portable game (minus some framerate issues at times) and my favorite of the series right next to 1. If not for nostalgia of the original it would probably be my favorite in the series.
I'm both looking forward to it and dreading the thought of what Nomura will do with it, especially after DDD's last worlds story developments.
It had better. The Metal Gear Solid series has set the bar high, but Kingdom Hearts won't admit defeat without a fight, hence time travel in 3D. Part of the fun is the crazy story that's just played straight. And in the end, you beat up an old man with a giant key to save the world.

So yeah, I'm replaying BBS, but this time it's the FM version. So much fun to just skip the cutscenes and kick some ass.

Totally agree, they are all pretty lame... Not very memorable
I never tried it yet but I kinda wanna now.
Holy shit thanks, I did not know this. So maybe I can stop overspeculating on the x-blade now (I can't find the key for that other key...no pun intended).
Yeah, it kinda confused me at first at why it was being pronounced like that, (I had no idea what the hell χ even was.) but then I read one of the Secret Reports and that explained it.
The best keyblade design I feel is the KH1 Ultima Blade.
Even though the artwork doesn't look as bad as the in-game model, the design is still too busy.
Oathkeeper + Oblivion is still the best combination as far as I'm concerned. I remember liking Lionheart too and there's a bunch more, but I haven't played KH in the longest time, so I don't really remember that much.

Come on guys, the Keyblades in DDD are not that bad. Skull Noise looks okay:

Nah, thats cool, but thats also the second keyblade you get. The one you are using for the final fights is awful.
All the cutscenes are made rediculous by this beauty:

Hell yea. That this was beautiful, can't wait to see it in glorious HD. The only bad thing about was that by the time I got it I already beat everything in the game.

I guess the problem is the colors they use for every Keyblade in DDD.

Lionheart's always been my personal favorite keyblade.
Divine Rose is pretty cool, too:
When they rebalanced they keyblade stats in KH1FM, Divine Rose got a pretty weird stat buff to the point where it was arguably a better weapon than Oblivion.

Yeah Balanced. Oblivion has 11 str but it takes away two magic bars. Which is extremely lame.
Pretty much.
Divine Rose has a short reach, but can deal a string of Crits and is hard to deflect (allows for quicker recovery if attack is blocked; very useful for Counterattacking).
Oblivion has higher attack and longer reach, but you also lose MP, and MP is actually important in KH1. (Since more MP = Higher Magic Power.)

Best design ever. I really hope we will be able to wield it in KH3 (bonus points if Aqua is the wielder). But I guess this will never happen.
Yeah bro that keyblade is the stuff.

I'd say the Keyblades in KH BBS were not all that great, besides the ones you get from beating Vanitas Remnant and the one from the Mirage Arena. I liked the Keyblades in Days more.

YoungBlade... You like days more than anything haha.

*Sigh* I know, I even dare call it my favorite Kingdom Hearts game.

Do you guys think they will ever top the Kingdom Hearts 2 intro?
I would say DDD came close, but I don't think it flowed nearly as well.

I prefer Kingdom Hearts' intro, I like Simple and Clean more than Passion.
You prefer the song or the intro?

I think the intro to Birth By Sleep is the best, followed by KH 2's intro, then KH 1, and finally
Days
