God DAMN I'm stupid. Thanks for putting it nicely.
Just a quick thought on the title of 358/2 Days. Obviously if you subtract 2 from 358, it becomes 356, the days in the year, and the amount of time Sora was in his cryogenic chamber. The game may take place over two "missing" days while Sora was in the chamber, and it may possibly reference the 14th member (maybe her tenure in the group).
The 14th member is most likely Aqua, what with Xemnas going to her armor and calling it "friend".
Hey there, I'm esakrreh. I was here for a while and then stopped going to the forums but now I'm back. Anyway, with the new KH games coming up and new characters being introduced, I'd like to look back at some of the old characters, and talk about some findings (I don't know why but I think this kind of thing is fun). Anyway, I'll start by posting bios of Sora and Roxas, and others can post theirs of any major character. Anyway, I hope you all find this interesting, and if not, it's just another internet thread. -Sora Age: 14-15 Ht: Around 5,5 or 5,6 in the first game. 5,7 or 5,8 in the second. Gender: Male Sora is the protagonist of the Kingdom Hearts series, and is often shown as its' icon character, to seperate Kingdom Hearts from other Disney video games or movies. He is the game's main character, and is the most prominent playable character in the first three games (KH1, CoM and KH2). Sora's two wielded weapons in the games are 1. The toy sword and 2. The Keyblade. Sora shows above-average skill with the sword, though he is supposedly not as skilled as Riku. It is unknown just quite how skilled Sora is with the keyblade. Despite the slights of the antagonists, Sora has always prevailed. However, his keyblade handling in the cutscenes is sometimes shown as clumsy. He certainly does not appear as dynamic in combat as Roxas or Riku, but he has been able to defeat both. Sora attributes all of his power to his heart, and not to his skill in combat. He is shown as generally athletic. Through the series, his portrayal changes from somewhat clumsy to much more graceful and skilled. His hair color also becomes dramatically lighter from Chain of Memories to Kingdom Hearts 2, though this change in appearance may be attributed to his bonding together with Roxas. Sora is generally characterized as cheerful and friendly. He is a conssumate optimist and a generally good leader. He has an uncanny habit to befriend almost anyone he meets (much like Naruto from the series "Naruto"). Though he is apparently educated, Sora is often portrayed as dim-witted and gullible, as well as childish, though he is also shown as abnormally emotionally mature. Through the series, Sora's character changes subtly. Throughout Kingdom Hearts, he begins to accept his role as a hero and seems to learn a great deal about the heart, and learns about forgiveness. His relationship with Kairi also changes. In Chain of Memories, he is shown as more agressive and aware, and is shown to differentiate in his relationships, as he consistently shows more care for Namine than for Riku (though it is also shown that he cares a great deal about Riku). Finally, in Kingdom Hearts 2, two things happen to his character. He simultaneoulsy goes more in the direction of Kingdom Hearts and in Chain of Memories. He becomes more active and agressive than in the first game, but not nearly as much as in Chain of Memories. He is shown to be somewhat quicker to anger, and more understanding in romantic relationships (though not his own). ________________________________________________________________ RELATIONSHIPS Donald Duck: Sora and Donald's relationship is strong but tumultuous. They dispute the most often among the three (Sora, Donald and Goofy) and seem to wish for definite leadership of the group. Later on, Sora moves into the leader role without the two fighting, beginning to pilot the Gummi Ship and generally being the main voice whenever the group discusses what to do about a situation. Goofy: Sora and Goofy's relationship is not generally focused on. They are apparently good friends, and Goofy is often the one to console Sora when he feels angry or depressed. Goofy seems to look up to Sora in a way, but their general consensus is that they are certainly equals. Goofy is also shown as something of a "rock" for Sora, as when Sora thinks Goofy is dead, he tells himself: "This is not happening, it can't be happening...". Riku: Throughout the first game, Sora's and Riku's relationship is shown as an intense rivalry/friendship. Their rivalry is clearly over Kairi, but they compete physically to maintain it. Through their numerous conflicts, Riku is often shown to be the more clever one, though Sora becomes more independent and mature, and not susceptible to Riku's insults. Later, with their time apart, their rivalry fades, as Riku stops making advances towards Kairi, conceding that Kairi has no romantic feelings for him. Kairi: Sora's relationship with Kairi becomes surprisingly confused over time. In the first one, Sora generally shows that he is calm around Kairi, though he is clearly nervous as well. Both appear to be tentative about their relationship, and are both unsure. Over time (in the first game), both become more sure about their relationship, and seem to wordlessly concede to a romantic relationship. However, with his time away from Kairi, Sora begins to become nervous around her, and seems to shrink away from the presupposed relationship. This may be explained by the events of Chain of Memories, as Sora may feel that he has "betrayed" Kairi with his relationship with Namine (in the Chain of Memories manga, Marluxia asks: "What does it feel like to be loved so much?"). Their relationship will most likely stable, especially when Sora learns that Kairi and Namine are in fact one and the same (though he may be initially taken aback). Mickey Mouse: Sora knows Mickey very little, but he is shown to respect him greatly, calling him "Your Majesty" despite his generally casual additude. Though Mickey does not seem to reject his title, he also appears to consider himself equal to most anyone, Sora especially. Antagonists: Sora seems to show a shocking amount of hate and loathing for his antagonists, and in Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts 2 especially, he seems to gain a certain amount of bloodlust towards them, though he does not seem to hold a particular hatred towards to regular Heartless and Nobodies. _________________________________________________________________ Well, that's it for number 1 (the rest won't be this long). I hope you all have fun (my Roxas bio will be up later).
All right, the voice actors for the teens (Sora, Riku and Kairi) all suck **** (and because the forum is going to censor that, let's say... dung). Sora is a ****ing idiot, he can't say a single word more than two syllables long, in addition, it doesn't really matter with the Nobodies because they can't really care if Sora hates them or not. The Nobodies are going to wipe out all of humanity, and Sora, being responsible for those people, is naturally going to be pissed off at them. That's okay. All of the organization's members are completely hopeless; there's no way for them to be "saved" or "helped" (except for Axel, Roxas and maybe Lexaeus). Sora acts like a foolish, incompetent, whining seven-year-old, and that's because a large portion of the game's audience fits this description. End of Story.
I saw a commerical for it, and I had a frined whose TV always seemed to be on the Disney Channel for some reason (admittedly he did have 3 siblings) and I saw a special on it. I wanted it so bad that I actually bought a PS2 just to play it. Luckily, I wasn't dissapointed.
MUAHAHAHAHA!!! TAKE THAT YOU FROG-LEAPING LOW-TESTOSTERONE PIECE OF ****! Okay, so he's not that bad. Still, that was pretty damn funny.
Actually, the official time of my reading of HPDH was 8 and a half hours. Not too shabby, I'd say.

Post... what, exactly? Also, I'm confused about what you're planning exactly. Guess I'll just have to wait and see... Also, TT Third Visit is here on kh-vids, Ending+Credits are on Kh2.co.uk (Kingdom Hearts Ultimania), and you should try downloading The Fifth Day on bluelaguna again, and left clicking on the server located nearest to you, and pressing "Save As" it'll take longer than on kh-vids, but it shouldn't be too long.
Many Spoilers *DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED* What is wrong with you? Obviously you do not understand Harry Potter (the books or character) at all, because you want him to die so badly. That's actually kind of sick. Anyway, the epilouge I thought was not up to the grade of the rest of the book, but I think that was because she wrote it after she wrote the first chapter of the first book, and only made a few changes. And anyway, it's hard to skip ahead to when everybody's older. Snape is definitely the most interesting of these questions. DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED! Okay, so Snape did the right thing in the end, and he risked his life, blah blah blah. I think that Harry (the 36-year-old Harry) is mistaken about Snape in the end. After he caused Lily's death, I think Snape thought that he could redeem himself by following Dumbledore's orders, and that's what he did. I don't think that he did it for the world, or for anyone else for that matter. He did it because he thought that after Voldemort was dead, his conscience would be clear, and he could live guiltlessly. It was not brave of him, really, because he had absolutely nothing to lose. All that he could lose was his worthless, pathetic life, completely devoid of meaning or hapiness. Snape was wrong in thinking that he could live life after he had "redeemed" himself. He would still be unhappy. Why? Because he could not find anything good in life, because he could not enjoy life. Snape could not enjoy being a Death Eater, and if he could not do that, he certainly could not be happy leading a good life, because that is just how twisted he was. In the end, I'm not quite sure that Snape was a "good guy". He did the right thing, but his motives were wrong. But ultimately that didn't matter anyway. In my opinion Snape's death was a blessing to him (and to everyone else), as he died doing something right, and didn't have to live on meaninglessly. In addition, Snape's hatred of Harry is almost unfathomable. The reason why, I believe, might be because he saw Harry as some sort of unholy fusion of the person he hated most (James Potter), and of course the only person he ever loved (Lily Evans).
It's true, that was Ven, and he's not even dead. Also, the next KH game is not going to be KH3. Now if there is a KH3 (which I think there is a fairly good chance there will be), it will probably be the last Kingdom Hearts game. I don't know if a Kingdom Hearts game will ever have that much death in it. But if it is the last one, I'll use my theory that Sora and Kairi will die in some valiant sacrifice to save the universe. Donald and Goofy will very much be in KH3, though I don't know how large a part they will play. I don't think that any unoriginal Square Enix character, or any Disney character will die, though if someone other than Sora and Kairi have to die, I'll guess it's one of the three (Mickey, Donald or Goofy).
I'm not a fan of Linkin Park, to put it politely. But for risk of being mercilessly lynched by the emo masses, I shall hold my tounge.
Too bad, I've already made it! Just kidding. Well, I HAVE made it, but go ahead. Some of the links in that thread are broken, and sometimes people won't respond at all. However, Bluelaguna.net has all of the cutscenes. Also, some advice before making the movie. You'll often find that there are plot holes because of text cutscenes that aren't there, simply treat it like a missing reel, and explain in text what is going on. Boss fights become tiresome sometimes, so try to make soundtrack changes to liven it up, and you can add soundtrack changes to cutscenes too. I'd advise turning the soundtrack up a bit, so that the boring video game sountrack doesn't get in the way. Be sure to cut down on overlengthy moments of blackness, and you could just cut the fadeouts out entirely sometimes. Skip meaningless worlds. Only put in worlds that have Organization members in them, or are central to the plot. You don't want a 5 hour movie (I'll add that the Pirates of the Carribean world isn't really necessary). Also, occasionally there will be moments where there is some action in the cutscene (e.g Luxord boss fight) you might want to consider just cutting out the boss fight and putting in the action in the cutscene. Also, I'd consider splitting the KH2 movie into two parts, because it's REALLY long. I split it in Hollow Bastion Fifth Visit (I can provide a link to it that I uploaded at Filefront if you want). Alright, I'm done rambling, hope this helps!
Axel would be useful, but I'd pick Tifa. Yeah, obvious reasons. And anyway, she could punch the trees down so we could build a raft quickly.
Word up. Also, among the Team 7 trio (of course that's no more) I like Naruto the best. Shippuden Sakura is cool, but in part 1 she's just a useless *****, and not only is Sasuke aggrivating, but I'm also just incredibly bored with him. He did nothing interesting until he ran away, and even then they spent, like, 4 episodes on his past which I didn't give the **** from a rat's *** about.
I read it, and it took me a little more than 9 almost uninterrupted hours.
Just finished the book. I got back at about 1:00 in the morning, and read it all through the night, only stopping for coffee and bathroom breaks. I it took me 9 hours to finish it. It's the best in the series, a non-stop, emotional book. It's simply incredible, and most of all we finally learn the past of Albus Dumbledore and the motives of Severus Snape.
Okay, so Xehanort is "Another" and "No Heart" and "Rent a Ho" without the X, and Xemnas is "Ansem" with the X, and also Mansex.
