Oh the flying was brilliant!
But I also loved the Riku/Sora dynamic in it.
It's where I actually became curious where the series would go, and well come Hollow Bastion I was hooked.
I mean my favourite moments were things like...
Riku: I didn't think you'd come Sora
Sora: Where are Donald and Goofy?
Riku: Are they THAT important to you? More important than old friends?
[then there's other stuff that i can't remember word for word]
Sora: Riku, why are you siding with the heartless?!?
Riku: The heartless obey me now Sora. Now I have nothing to fear...
Sora: You're stupid! Sooner or later they'll swallow you're heart.
Riku: You can go join your friends now.
AAANNNDD
Sora: Kairi! *Reaches out hand*
Kairi: *hand twitches*
Goofy: Kairi couldn't wake up... so maybe she really has lost her...
Donald: SHHHHH!
Peter: Sora...
Sora: I.. still can't believe it... I really flew... Wait till I tell Kairi! Wonder if she'll believe me... probably not...
(that part made me go... how dumb is he? He didn't notice something's wrong with her!?! What made me want to see what he'd do WHEN he realised Kairi had lost her heart)
So many things happened in Neverland that was the turning point of my "This is a really weird game..." to..." Oh my gosh this is TOTALLY AWESOME!!"
