Life would be easier for me if I didn't get a metaphysical reaction out of this.

    I think this video embodies both everything I long wished the series was, and the aspect that not only first got me to try out the first game, but has continued to keep me going with this (increasingly shallow and empty) series. I will do my very best to elaborate on this aspect that I have long identified with, without making myself out to be a complete juvenile fool (and not bothering to dwell on the criticisms of the series, as if I were to try to go on a about my qualms with the series, I'd be here all night).
    It's a simple hack video, yes, I'm aware. But hearing Donald cry "Sora!" as you are healed, while that gorgeous music blasts in the background, is the kind of indescribable bliss that can only be grasped and understood by someone as eccentric as yours truly. I've always adored and cherished the underlying, and in my eyes underutilized, theme of teamwork and friendship in the series gameplay. The passion, the energy, the heart, spirit and poignancy of fighting alongside friends to the end. It gets to the point where one of the first questions that's lept to mind throughout KH3's production is whether or not the final battle will be fought alone, with one party member (like fighting with Riku in KH2), or with Donald and Goofy (my preferred choice, but I'm of course prepared for disappointment).
    Feel free to point, laugh and jeer at this nonsense. Twas a thought I felt like expressing for reasons I am uncertain of.

    Question: Are you using "metaphysical" to refer to the branch of philosophy called metaphysics or something else entirely? I'm actually very confused as to what it's supposed to mean in this context.

    I have heard it used as a synonym for "spiritual", that being my context here.

    Oh. Well, it isn't. I can see why people would misuse it like that, but it's still a misuse.

    Well gracious, I made myself look even more foolish than I had anticipated. Blast it.

    Don't worry about it. It's easy mistake to make, but that only means it should be that much less embarrassing to be corrected on. After all, that's what mistakes are for.
