Kingdom Hearts II A Riku centered game?

it wold be good it can start from kh1 to kh com like wat riku was doing in hollow bastion and stuff :P

also it could show wat happened after com wat they did after they took the middle road

 

i think thats what days it hinting about you will find out what he did cuz you do kinda see him a lot in the trailer.

 

I think that a game centered on riku would be awesome.

Personally I think that a game about riku would HAVE to be his side of the story during KH1 and KHII. wouldnt it be awesome to play as riku, then do like a "imit" and turn in to xehanorts heartless? WOULDNT IT?!? to be the bad guy? it would be sick. thats what it would be.

 

No, in my opinion, i think it would get boring. The same internal struggle that he always has. Over, and over again >. >

 

Ya that would be awesome!!! I'd like his side of story of kh1. Like what happened to him after he swallowed by darkness.

 

I'll have to disagree with Riku having his own game.

Why? Because you already know 50% or more of what happens.

Spoiler

Riku spent his life on Destiny Islands with his friends Sora and Kairi, until the darkness took over their world. Riku awoke on Hollow Bastion, to be greeted by Maleficent. Maleficent then tempts Riku with showing where Kairi is, and grants him powers of Darkness. Riku goes to Monstro and kidnaps Pinnochio (SP) in an attempt to use his heart to bring Kairi out of her vegetable state, only to be stopped by Sora. Later Riku reappears in Hollow Bastion to be greeted again by Maleficent, then goes on a voyage with Captain Hook. Sora arrives on the ship, while Riku is there. Not much to say there except interact with Captain hook and Sora, explaining to Captain Hook that Wendy is not a princess of Heart. Later, Sora arrives at Hollow Bastion, where Riku confronts Beast. When Sora shows up, Riku takes his keyblade for his own, claiming he was the true master and Sora the delivery boy. Sora later finds Riku inside the Castle, and they fight each other, Riku ending up the loser and Sora reclaiming the keyblade before the battle starts. Riku retreats, and is tempted to dive further into the darkness by Ansem, opening his heart to it. Later on, Riku reappears when Maleficent is injured, stabbing her with a keyblade and opening her heart to darkness as well. Sora defeats the Dragon Maleficent, and goes on to find Riku in the last area of the castle, where the Princesses are stored. Riku now claims he is "Ansem," and states that Kairi's heart is within Sora. They fight, Riku ending up the loser once again, Sora taking his keyblade and stabbing himself, releasing his and Kairi's heart. (I'm not sure on this detail if it was also the other Princesses' hearts, but that's not the point.) Ansem finally appears, but is held back by Riku. The next time Riku appears, (Unless you count the mirage Ansem used before his battle with Sora) is at the very end of the game, helping Sora close the door. After that, CoM takes the stage. Seeing as you play as Riku in that game, I don't think I need to go into detail.

In short, a game on Riku would only cover small, VERY SMALL details, and practically be a recap. with little to no epic moments you haven't seen before. Personally, I only see a single point in Riku's storyline that I'd be interested in, and that is, what did he do after Sora woke up?

Let's take a look at 358/2 Days' basic points. That's a game explaining an ENTIRE YEAR of unexplained storyline, also showing what exactly lead up to Kingdom Hearts 2. This gives plenty of room for development and plot devices that are original.

A game on Riku? Not so much. I'd much rather see a game on Mickey.

 

who said it had to be a recap? We could learn more about Riku's new found powers in a game later than kh2, if there even is one. Plus there are major plot holes in Riku's story existing already like what he did after capturing Roxas, during the events of kh2 (since 358/2 days doesnt exactly cover this). We also don't know how he managed to get Way to the Dawn...

 

Even if, I still fail to see all that room for a proper Riku game, during KH2. What could he possibly be doing worth making a game about after capturing Roxas? Since Sora takes the stand shortly afterward.

On the topic of after KH2, maybe. Since Coded will technically be after KH2, (Atleast I think?) I'll have to wait and see, though from what I've heard it's mainly about

Spoiler

the Journal, filling in plotholes/information yet to be shown in KH, and with Sora as the main character.

And personally, though this is an opinion, I also wouldn't want to run around looking like Xehanort's heartless. =X

 

well riku is a main character the only game i havent seen or think of seeing him is in coded but i could be wrong
yeah but it could take place in hollow bastion and end in the time riku gets back his original form or something =x

 

I think the only way this would work was if it was a new story. Not KH or KHII, but a different one altogether. If Riku actually had a good plotline to work with that didn't seem contrived, then yes, it would be fantastic to play as him. It's true that we've already got Reverse Rebirth (haven't played that yet, but I will) but I can see how a Riku-centered story would appeal to people.

 

i would like to see a game like that because he has so many secrets and things you just wanna find out about him

 

riku has always been realy interesting so I think a game about him would be fricken epic.

 

It would be nice to have a change in character. We know everything about sora and a few things here and there about riku. Maybe a part of a game we get to play him or switch between the two of them.

 

I don't think we need one. I don't really even like the character so I wouldn't probably even buy it...

 

Of course but I don't want the makers of kingdom hearts to go all crazy and start making games for kairi and wakka and people like that... It would be ridiculous.

 

I <3 Riku - Riku is amazing - I'd kill for a riku centered game!

 

It would be nice for him to have his own game, but it wouldn't be very good I think for some reason. Besides, he had somewhat of his own game in Re:Com.

 

((I think all characters need their own game! j/k that would be a ton of work lol! Uh, sure though in Re: CoM the reverse thing or whatever isn't that good enough? ^^? Either way I could care less sorry to say, but yes so those who would could enjoy =3 ))

 

We were lucky enough to get Reverse/Rebirth. Riku is cool, but Nomura making a game all about him?..not likely.

 

I think he should. There are many gaps in the story that we still don't know about, and most of them are Riku's, such as how did Riku get turned to darkness, and all that stuff. Or what he did during Kingdom Hearts 2. It'd be nice to have a nice change of character.
