One of the best rewards of a Kingdom Hearts game after every world completion is gaining a new, more powerful keyblade. It’s the most important customization for Sora and the one that requires the least amount of thinking. A few menu presses and you can benefit hugely from a keyblade that gives you a longer reach, like the Jungle Key, or one that infuses great strength, like the Metal Chocobo. Then there are those conflicting moments when I would rather equip a less powerful weapon than subject Sora to handling something that is terribly ugly.
Kristopher Moore is a returning guest who offers us his rant on what went wrong with some of the keyblade designs. This week, it’s purely about looks.
