Uhm... noticing the new Organization member battles in KH2FM+, well first, I have a complaint about the boss battle videos, not just from here... Ok, for a battle video... We look for one thing, the battle, the details, etc... We can easily deduce WHO's fighting, but not the details... Plus, guess what? We can play as Sora OURSELVES to learn of Sora's techs... so that only leaves the opponents... and if they get the guillotine too quick, we don't really get the details of the enemy... Way too many people who record their boss battles, finish too quickly or die too soon.. But ok, rant over. I just wanna kinda analyze what's going on with the sort of "new" moves of some of the members from CoM that you can fight in KH2FM+... For instance, I never really exactly caught what Zexion was doing... Something about the book eating you...and that's all I get. Larxene... I have to ask, did she go all ninja-jutsu on us and make copies of herself... OR is she just SO d*mn fast that she made after-images? But with the swinging one Larxene into the other, I'm confused.. Also, the video I watched of Vexen.. I did not have room or time to notice what the DATA thing was for, the weird rings overlapping Sora, and BARELY what Vexen was actually doing to hurt you (I noticed the giant ice spikes, the mini-blizzard/hailstorm, and the freezing of Sora, I didn't really see any shield strikes or anything)
Move this if viewed necessary, as although it may concern a Square-Enix title, it also concerns other anime, and possibly video game titles if they come to mind. Ok, about... Three things that came to mind concerning the planet's lifecycle and general health. If placed in question form, they are slightly rheutorical, as I only mean to speculate in the hopes that there are fans of the same fictional mediums from which my ideas branch from here to join. 1. Sesshomaru's Tenseiga from the anime and manga InuYasha. If one dies and is slowly digested by the planet over a period of time, which strengthens and enlarges the lifestream, can the Tenseiga be used to recover the consciousness and life-energy of perished individual lifeforms from the lifestream and return it to life? or cut off the transfer of life-energy to the lifestream in the first place. Also, for those familiar with Tenseiga's reforging and access to the attack "Meidou Zangetsuha", does that mean if Tenseiga existed in the world of FFVII, that it could instantly send its victims to the lifestream? 2. Goku's Spirit Bomb / Genki-Dama from the anime and manga Dragon Ball Z. Is it safe to say that if Goku initiated his collection of energy for the Spirit Bomb, it would gather energy directly from the planet's lifestream, and animals, and plants, and any human beings generous enough to lend their energy? 3. Considering the conventional energy problems of the world, and Shinra's effective, but long-term disastrous approach... I've come up with a way of what would return the planet to good health, AND replace Mako as a power source. Step 1: Collect as much materia as possible from around the world, find any living remnant of Sephiroth, or Kadaj, Yazoo, OR Loz... who were able to organically bond with and utilize materia in that manner... equip their bodies with the vast amount of materia, and end their lives, sending a large quantity of life-energy back to the lifestream, the LIFE of the entities AND the condensed mako/life-energy stored in the materia... If possible, it would not be an idea to erase all clear evidence of Shinra, Mako use, Geostigma, etc... And, as strange as this sounds... If there any last remaining scientific minds on the planet (I would suppose so) if they could be tapped into correctly, the seven Chaos Emeralds of Sonic the Hedgehog fame could be properly utilized to provide the planet with continuously renewable power... Not to mention the Master Emerald would be a decent means of reversing any misuse of the seven emeralds by the wrong people...
Ok, before, I used this same concept as subject for speculation... but as it was short lived... and the idea is still an appealing one... I'm going to go with it. Ok, mostly everyone knows how Sephiroth has introduced himself as in Kingdom Hearts 2... Sephiroth has time and again pointed it out that he is Cloud's dark side... meaning.. he is somewhat of an incarnation of the darkness in Cloud's heart... LIKE a Heartless, but not there yet, as Cloud and his heart stay struggling.. As a figure of darkness, an avatar of darkness itself (that of Cloud anyway) he must have some desires for dominance over Cloud's heart, the intention to throw Cloud's heart over the edge and lose to the darkness within... and become a Heartless. So, Sephiroth is very similar to Xehanort's Heartless then. Sephiroth already has the tendency to appear from nowhere, (but none can be sure if this mode of travel can be read back to the dark corridors) and attack with Graviga-like orbs of darkness... But can he call Heartless to his aid, or disguise himself to deceive others (most likely Cloud)?? My main point is that according to Sephiroth's conversations with Cloud... That because Cloud plagues himselfs with unpleasant memories of his past... he is choosing to sooth himself with what MOST represents the darkness about him, instead of moving along with his life and looking to the future with his head held high, a personal decision attributed to the light... So... Does that not mean Cloud has no more or less than 4 choices? 1. Lose to Sephiroth in battle, and become a Heartless, and with a likelihood of spawning a Nobody, or instead small likelihood of spawning a humanoid Nobody. 2. Surrender to Sephiroth, and become a sentient Heartless. 3. Defeat Sephiroth, and choose to move on with his life and leave all contempt for unpleasant memories of the past behind, and become a stronger person. or 4. Find a compromise between them and maybe or maybe not adopt the XIII coat, and characteristics of Sephiroth (wings, Masamune, Graviga techs, Sin-Harvest...etc) and walk the same path as Riku... the road of twilight.
Ok, ya know how throughout all of KH2 (mostly in Ansem's Reports) they made clear that Namine' was a Nobody born when Kairi's heart was released from Sora's and all that? Well then, how come Namine' joined with Kairi at the end and not Sora?
Ok, I don't know about you... but after now realizing that things are having more and more to do with Keyblades... And that the side that looks most trustworthy (the knights) is at a major disadvantage against an old man wielding STRONG magic and a keyblade, and his keyblader associate.... Only one thing comes to mind (now, they probably will have something else in mind, such as recruiting the other Keyblade Masters.. or something, but) the Dark Keyblade... I don't know if it's any more powerful than the Keyblades wielded there... but I'm sure it must be one of a kind... and with its origin, and number involved... It has to be special.. and with the ability to unlock the full potential of one's heart (whether that being good or bad) could be useful... So.. I have a small belief that the plot of the third installment of KH will either revolve around the surviving knights attempting to recruit other wielders of the Keyblade (such as Sora, Riku, Mickey, Kairi, and heck, Sora can summon Genie and HE can wield a Keyblade) OR more likely in my opinion, re-gathering the Princesses of Heart (including Kairi this time) to use their hearts to reforge the Dark Keyblade, better than ever. (think Ultima Weapon, Save the Queen+, and Save the King+, cuz remember, the Dark Keyblade was incomplete when Xehanort's Heartless wielded it as Riku... it was missing Kairi's heart)
If you had a Kingdom Key Keyblade... What would you do with it? There are no Heartless, no Nobodies.. or atleast as far as when you get it.. (for all I know, having a Keyblade in this reality would make the hearts of mankind and other living things able to harbor light and darkness, and thus spawn Heartless when the darkness conquers the heart) What would you do with it? How would you use it? If replacing the Mickey Mouse keychain with one of your own keychains would make it transform, what keychain would you pick?
Playin' the game with style... (of course I haven't made the sprites and DDR-machine graphic... but have made the pics with them...) Enjoy.
Ok, wow, somethings are becoming confusing... There's already like 2 threads discussing seperate divisions of the mass chaos that has been thrown at us by Final Mix+... Here are some things. Strange new world. (Desert-area with 4 roads like a + sign, filled with ASSUMED Keyblade-like objects sticking out of the ground) 3 Mystery Knights... I'm guessing we're calling these guys the Unknowns as we did to the Nobodies of the Organization? (wield these strange Keyblade weapons, dual-wielding them along with the Kingdom Keys of the Worlds of Light and Darkness, as well as the Way to Dawn, whether these are Sora, Mickey, and Riku's actual Keyblades, we can't be sure exactly, but I choose to assume they are. Also, according to the gameplay of KH2FM+, we can know that one of these knight-figures fights Sora, Donald, and Goofy, and surpasses Sephiroth in strength, as Xemnas did in KHFM) Fourth Figure (whether he is any of the additional characters, we can't be sure... but the words "Memory of Xehanort" flash before its silhouette appears) Bald man w/ uniform similar to Xehanort's Heartless. (We have almost no clue who this is, besides a possible connection to Ansem or Xehanort, and that he appears to be wielding a strange weapon, possibly a Keyblade) Red-Clad Warrior (Also, we have no clue who this being is.. Besides that he accompanies the bald man, whether he is ally, enemy, or if he just happens to be there is uncertain.... and that his weapon is more distinguishable, and may also be a Keyblade) Knights again. (Although one has been seen to have brown hair and big blue eyes and either is just fortunate enough to have been damaged so little, OR he is desperate to cover as much of his face as possible, one other is a dark brown haired individual, and the other is a light-blue haired girl...) King Mickey (One, he's a Sora-poser. Two, in that same motion, why/how does he have the Star Seeker?)
Ok, you may think this is a favorite thread like most around here... Very few different characters are chosen.... Most choices are all the same... but I'm gonna help narrow it down. I have only one question: Who's your favorite non-keyblade wielding character? No Sora, no Riku, no King Mickey, no Roxas, no Genie, no Kairi, and no Mystery Knights.. Who's your favorite non-darkness wielding (or born) character? No Riku, no Riku Replica, no Xehanort's Heartless, no Pete, no Sephiroth, no Jafar, no Hades, no Scar, no Ursula, no Shan-Yu, no Oogie, no Hook, no Maleficent, no Clayton. Who's your favorite non-Princess of Heart character? No Kairi, no Alice, no Jasmine, no Snow White, no Aurora, no Belle, no Cinderella Who's your favorite non-Nobody character? :D No Roxas, no Axel, no Larxene, no Namine', no Vexen, no Marluxia, no Zexion, no Lexaeus, no Demyx, no Xigbar, no Xaldin, no Luxord, no Saïx, no Xemnas. With these guidelines, who is your FAVORITE character?
Of these, in Kingdom Hearts, as of right now, what special kind of character would you want to be?
Ok, I'm talking Kingdom Hearts here. Unless Sephiroth was speaking entirely metaphorically, which I doubt, Sephiroth is the living incarnation of the darkness in Cloud's heart, no, according to Kingdom Hearts 2? Well, the fight may have been left ambiguous (such as if Tifa was making a connection to Cloud's heart via the light in HERS, or so long as Tifa practiced her loyalty he found the light in himself with which to fight back, OR where Cloud & Sephiroth were spirited away to) But thinking back to Riku, Xehanort's Heartless, Saïx, and few other minor characters, but mostly focusing on Xehanort's Heartless... If Sephiroth is the manifestation of Cloud's inner darkness who just hasn't overcome Cloud's light and claimed his heart, does that not mean the following: Sephiroth can command SOME Heartless, travel through the Corridors of Darkness, use transformation to take on the form of characters significant to other characters, (example: Shadow became Belle to piss off Beast, Night Walkers disguised themselves as members of Captain Li Shang's army) or even be absorbed into Cloud's being if he should accept the darkness inside him, (Giving Cloud a rather more bad-*** look, maybe wings, access to Masamune's strength, Seph's special KH-exclusive techs, etc. OrgXIII coat would be most-appropriate, lol)
