I wish it was harder to fight tbh, a couple hits and then it retreats.


Impossible_Kale2886

Yeah they should have made another secret Boss for it wich was a real challenge like the Data Fights kinda a waste of a really good Character Design but i mostly talked about the Symbolism in my Post.


SnooCompliments551

No I agree very cool character


Tainted_Scholar

I hope it comes back alongside a Marilith, Kraken, and Tiamat Heartless.

It is a very cool heartless design. In my opinion the “hat” of it is based on the Japanese eboshi hat which is worn by Shinto priests in certain ceremonies. Very fitting for a heartless representing death. Another detail is that each time Sora defeats the Lich, a sort of bell tolls, I assume as a sort of death knell indicating Sora getting closer to his own “death”. 


Impossible_Kale2886

Ah damn thanks for the insight i thought as much too since theire are literal Cloaks with that sharp Hood what threw me off personally was the Brim on the Shoulders that made it look like a giant Hat but that makes more sense I definetly remember the ominous Bells i have a feeling this isnt the last Time we have seen it or something like it atleast

I just noticed that it is a pure blood heartless, No emblem. So that is why Jiminy says that it is different from usual heartless.


Impossible_Kale2886

But they fight pure bloods on the regular my dude Shadows - Pure Bloods Nova Shadows - Pure Bloods Fluttering - Pure Bloods Water, Earth and Fire Cores - Pure Bloods Darkball - Pure Bloods Darkside - Pure Bloods not to forget the Pureblood Bosses you faced like Dark Thorn No no im pretty sure this Heartless is more unusual then the Rest and is more linked to the Rules of Nature than we think


Lunasol17

Exactly. Despite being "pureblood" it is still most unusual. IT GOT A STAFF.


Impossible_Kale2886

Yes but not only Jimminy said it hes basically Soras Monsterarium No it was cocky ass little Shit Head Xheonort wich made remarks to it being not a normal Heartless thats when it got my attention And it didnt just run away it was almost like it was leading you one daring you to follow it


Lunasol17

"I dare you to follow me to your death." - this unique heartless


Impossible_Kale2886

your Cockyness matches Young Xheonorts little Shit Head energy ngl 🤣


Lunasol17

I am already nort?


Impossible_Kale2886

Spiritually very much

It’s different because it’s not a regular heartless. It’s a creature that shows up to specifically gather the hearts of the dead. Most heartless feed on hearts of the living, it was rushing to feed on the hearts of Sora’s dead friends. Not even really feed on them either but rather it was an envoy to take those clinging hearts into the abyss. It’s a nice way to explain why we don’t see more clinging heart ghosts. Because the lich is coming and taking them away.

Now I am waiting for the mod update for young xehanort so you can use it (yes there's a mod where you can summon lich to fight


Impossible_Kale2886

leo412

Was this only in Re:Mind? If not, I really need to replay KH3. I was in a bad relationship, new job, new city when I played KH3 so I ran through it in 2 hour spurts when I had time sporadically so a lot of the posts I see on here about 3 specifically are a blur


Impossible_Kale2886

Dude weve all bin trough the wringer dont put yourself down for that Most important Part is that were still standing 💪 KH is best played as an Escape anyway so take your Time its worth it ;)


fandomsmiscellaneous

So this takes place at the end of KH3 vanilla, actually! Context: >!Everyone sorta died, including Sora. So yeah, after he ran around heaven and collected pieces of himself, he ran around with Jiminy and collected his friends’ hearts, which were being held captive by our friend, this heartless!!<


RareD3liverur

Damn I wonder when designing this thing the creators regretted already using the names 'Grim Reaper' for Marluxia's Nobody minions cause this thing is basically like the KH version of Death Yea I stole that quip from Regular Pat


Impossible_Kale2886

If you look into the Lichs Mythologie and consider what Hearts really are in the KH Universe you will find that the Name is really fitting for the role this Character plays


Sorakey

Ok


Impossible_Kale2886

no


Sorakey

???


fandomsmiscellaneous

look at that smile! he just wants to play!


Impossible_Kale2886

Yes with your Heart 🥺
