[spoiler]Ohhhh! See, I thought you said "They'll be from the original game"! Oh ok, makes more sense, thanks Kae-kun. [/spoiler]

I'm reading the Interviews now, so I see what you were talking about. ^_^

I See That Secret Ending For KHII Being A Prequel Story, At The Beginning of KHIII, So You'd Play Before The Events of KH With Whoever Then You'd Move Right Into Present Storyline...

That'd Be Pretty Cool...

Well, I finally beat the game and got the secret ending. All I can say is that the idea of a prequel or at least some backstory to the keyblades sounds the most legit to me. We really haven't been told too much about keyblades. Mostly just that they are legendary weapons, and can open any lock.

[spoiler] Of note is that several times in the game Sora's keyblade is refered to as "the keyblade" as opposed to "a keyblade" (I'm trying to think of an instance where they refer to a diferent keyblade, but I can't seem to). Hopefully we'll get some information as to why Sora is the "Keyblades Chosen one" yet there are so many other people that weild them. Is Sora's Keyblade spcial?

Just random thoughts.... Does anyone have anything that goes against the idea of Sora's Keyblade being different than the others?[/spoiler]

[SPOILER]I agree, especially concerning what Xigbar said when you fought him. "So, you're the new hero the Keyblade chose. But man, did it pick a dud this time." It seems to me Sora's Keyblade is maybe the original, and the others are copies? But if so, were they "created" or what? Guess we'll have to wait and see.[/SPOILER]

i got the game!!! im soooo happy. we got it last night but i didnt get to play it for too long cause my brother wanted to play it. but then today i have been playing it since seven. i just now got off so my bro could have it for a while i have been playing for 9 straight hours only stopping for one bathroom break and to help put up groceries. usually im not the most obsessive (or good for that matter) gamer but i have to say im hooked. once my bro gets off im getting right back on. lol i know its sad but i just got finished w/ timeless town and disneys castle and i know that the next one is the pirates of the carribean one that i have been wanting to play!! i cant wait. lol

Glad you're so excited Sami_Jane. ^_^ It gets better too! ^_~

[spoiler]
Well even Roxas being Sora's Nobody, and being able to wield two. How come when Sora goes into Drive mode he can wield two keyblades? Are one of those fake?
Axel says, "Number 13. Roxas. The Keyblade's chosen one." So I figure there's only one original.

My two cents as well. [/spoiler]

I just realised something!

[spoiler] In the beginning of KH: CoM Sora comes to a crossroads. In CoM the crossroads were paths between light, dark, twilight (as DiZ said), and dawn, (as Riku said). I think (I'll have to watch the secret ending again) that the three there come from different directions, with the last figure comming from the Direction the others did not. So far, it has been revealed the Mickey has the Keyblade from Darkness, and that Riku has the keyblade of dawn. I think it is safe to assume that Sora has the keyblade of light, but what about the keyblade of twilight? Sure, Kairi had a keyblade handed to her by Riku, but I don't think that means she was chosen. So it looks like we may have a 4v4 keyblade war possibly? Just some new thoughts. [/spoiler]

[spoiler]
Well, technically, Sora and Roxas are the same person, and Roxas doesn't even exist, as he is a nobody. I'd also say that it is safe to bet that the keyblade choses a new person whenever the current "chosen one" is incapacitated. I believe that was explained when Xigbar said "So, you're the new hero the Keyblade chose. But man, did it pick a dud this time." Just my thoughts. :) [/spoiler]

I haven`t beaten it but I want to know one thing and just tell me. I don`t care if it ruins anything.

I`m going to put the question in spoiler tags because it spoils stuff in CoM

[SPOILER] When Sora was gaining his memories back for a year was Roxas the living form of his memories that became a part of him when Sora the Restoration was complete? I`m just curious since the Twilight Town gang recognized Sora and forgot about Roxas. While I know Roxas is Sora`s Nobody, I was just curious if Roxas was the living form of his memories [/SPOILER]

BTW, Xaldin was Easy. I beat him first try....with Mickey`s help of course. :)

I`m at the last place now. I can`t find the Final Torn Page.

It`s if you die. Mickey plays instead of Sora then revives him.

I only used it with Xaldin which is why I had victory.

BTW, how do you fight Sephiroth? Can`t find him.

This is a HUGE part in the game. It is revealed at the end very clearly. If you still want to know, I can tell you, but the whole ending is based upon this issue.

[SPOILER]Nice theory, Phil, but has one major flaw. I replayed that part last night (I have lots of save files here and there). Xigbar says "But man, did it pick a dud this time. You aren't half the hero the others were." What can we gain from this? Well, 1) Xigbar said "others." Not "other." Implying there is more than just Roxas, there must have been multiple Keyblade users. 2) He can't be talking about Riku and Mickey, because he used the past tense "were." If Xigbar was talking about Riku/Mickey, he would have said "You aren't half the hero the others are." But he used past tense, implying that there have been Keyblade users before Sora. Also remember Ansem's Report 8 from the first game, which is also quoted in the secret ending. About how legend says the Keyblade user brought peace to the world, where another legend says the wielder wrought chaos upon it. So, it's safe to assume there have been other Keyblade users in the past too because of that.[/SPOILER]

[spoiler=Secret Ending] So, in the interview with Nomura-san, this question comes up:
Interviewer: Did that [The Secret Ending] scene happen in the future or in the past?
Nomura-san: I would at least say it's an episode in the past, but.... Hmm, how should I say this? It's in the past but you can also think it's in the future, something like that.

My impression of this, is that these three Keyblade wielders are from the past, but someone may telling this story to Sora, who is in the future. But then the fact that the Keyblades look rustic and old comes to my attention. But would Nomura-san make it that simple? Not sure.

Kae-san's oberservation is a very good one, and I give him much credit for that. Knowing that Nomura-san says that it is in the past somewhat, then I really think that this secret ending is in the past. Although it looks futureistic, it seems, through the logic we've found, to be in the past. I'm guessing these 3 new characters are gonna be pretty important as far as being connected with Sora.

Again, my two cents. This kinda stuff helps stretch my brain, and it kinda feels like an investigation or something of the sort. XD lol. [/spoiler]

I'm currently using the Pridelands/Gullwings keyblade trick to get to level 99. This will mark the first time I've ever beaten an RPG on level 99. Poor Sephy isn't gonna know what smacked the crud out of him. :thumb:

I`m almost at Level 50.

If you can dodge his moves you`re in the clear. Once he hits you, you usually are caught in his combo....forever.

MUCH harder than the one in Kh1.

I never felt he was that much harder, maybe slightly, but for me that's only due to the fact Cure drains all your MP and you can't use it repearedly.

Oh gosh, the BEST thing in the whole game I think is the Skip Scene feature! Boy were they smart to place that in there! Although I love the way the Battles go, I can't help but be ultra thankful for the Skip Scene.

Wow...you are going fast. WOO! Keep it up!

My friend beat all the Disney worlds in 5 hours because he skipped all the cutscenes that didn`t contribute to the real plot. Plus, I sat there and told him what would happen anyways.

Get the Gullwing keyblade and take it into the pridelands, go to the area you defeated Scar, get Sora in critical condition, and defeat all 200 enemies. You will gain about 30,000 EXP in the end. Repeat this for a few hours until level 99. (The enemies respawn after you leave and come back). Be sure to unequip all of Donald and Goofy's abilities so they can't kill very many enemies (you can only get the extra EXP from enemies killed by Sora only/do not have Simba in your party), and keep several Potions in stock. Return to Radiant Garden and kick Sephy's butt to Cleveland.
