Xemnas, definitely. Everyone fears him (well, at least Vexen), he's the Superior, he's a sith rip-off, etc. Why's everyone picking Roxas? Xemnas nearly killed Sora 3 times in the last battle. If it wasn't for Riku, Xemnas would've won. Plus, Xemnas nearly killed Riku as well. So not only is Roxas going against all THIRTEEN members (not just Xemnas), but I think a LARGE majority of them would actually go for Roxas first.
Mickey is still training under Yen Sid at this point. That means he can't already be a master himself. Anyway, recent translations of one of the interviews say that VAT's master is actually someone who has never appeared anywhere in the series before: Terra specializes in strength, Aqua in magic, and Ven in speed (not defense). You might be right about the lacking in one area thing, though. 1.) Disney wouldn't allow it, that's for sure. 2.) Nomura said that Mickey at this point is not a king, yet. So that implies that this is the same mouse. 3.) BBS takes place 10 years before KH1. That means the "descendant" Mickey would be around Sora's age, and that doesn't really make sense, if you know what I mean.
Why is this in the CoM section? Anyway here's all the Keyblade wielders so far (listed in order of appearance in the games): 1.) Sora 2.) Riku 3.) Mickey 4.) Roxas 5.) Kairi 6.) Terra 7.) Aqua 8.) Ven 9.) MX's Apprentice 10.) Master Xehanort 11.) VAT's Master? And I suppose there are a TON of other Keyblade wielders as the BBS trailer supposedly said there were many more before Sora, and there was a Keyblade War. On a side note, Nomura confirmed that Ven and Roxas are TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT people, and that why they look alike (basically Ven's identity) is the main theme of BBS.
Yep, like the last two posts said, Axel never died in CoM, he faked it and let Sora take care of the upper floors while he finished off his buisness with the Riku Replica and Zexion before leaving the castle. The data battles are non-canon - they were just extras added in KH2:FM for fun. And Destiny's Force, I keep hearing that Axel's other comes back. Can you give me a link to that interview?
Wait, don't tell me no one here knew that each member had an element: Xemnas: Nothingness Xigbar: Space/Gravity Xaldin: Wind Vexen: Ice Lexaeus: Earth Zexion: Phantom/Illusion Saïx: Moon Axel: Fire Demyx: Water Luxord: Time Marluxia: Flower/Nature Larxene: Thunder Roxas: Light Just in case, I will also note that each member's name is an anagram of their original name with an "X" added as a mark of brotherhood: Xemnas (Really Xehanort): Ansem Xigbar: Braig Xaldin: Dilan Vexen: Even Lexaeus: Aeleus Zexion: Ienzo Saïx: Unknown (Most likely "Saï" which I believe means "Rhino" in Japanese which makes sense) Axel: Unknown (Most likely "Ale" because he was based on Final Fantasy's Reno whose favorite drink is ale) Demyx: Unknown (Most likely either "Medy" or "Myde" because his name was based on "Melody") Luxord: Unknown (Dulro or Rudol sound the best) Marluxia: Unknown (Lumaria XD) Larxene: Unknown (Arlene or Renela sound the best) Roxas: Sora
I don't hate him at all - he's one of my favorites. Most friendly personality, WAY smarter than his own other, the new model looks cuter (literal meaning), best voice (next to Xemnas IMO).
Yeah, Nomura said there's going to be co-op and versus in multiplayer.
Opening cutscene: "Aqua... Ven... Keyblade... Who are you? I can feel it... We have met before. It was when... No... It isn't you... It isn't you that I have chosen... Why is it not him? Xe...ha...nort... Is that you? Xeha...nort... Xehanort!" Ending cutscene: "I see. Your strength is... What I sensed in you is..." Before you fight him again: "So, you have returned, young Keyblade wielder. I have nothing more to offer you. All I have is my hatred for Xehanort. Would you like me to engrave that hatred into your heart?"
No, it's officially pronounced "Three-Five-Eight Days Over Two".
I don't think it's data, actually. The square things actually look a bit like mirrors. If you listen carefully to the sound, when Terra uses those mirrors (ex. the second phase of his Desperation Move) you can hear a sort of... windy sound, not the same data-like noise you hear like when the data Organization members appear in the FM battles. Plus, you don't see any numbers in Terra's power. When the KK appears to Roxas, a bunch of tiny numbers surround the Keyblade, whereas the "mirrors" surround Terra's.
Story - I'm surprised of how complex it's gotten, and with these three games coming out (especially Birth by Sleep), the story will get even better (and darker in some aspects), and hopefully as a result, they'll drop most of the cheesy jokes! The dialogue may sometimes be corny, but the general story is just so cool. The mixture of Disney with it all is just great. Gameplay - To be honest, I've never played another game with a battle system more fun than KH's. It's just the originality of the idea and the fluidity of the characters' moves that make it different from other games. Most kids' games usually have the tedious "press square to attack" system, and the combo system (ex. square-square-circle-triangle) gets a bit boring after a while. Most of SE's other games' battle systems are a tad too complicated (and rather slow), but KH's is just great. Graphics - Like before, fluid movements, and the facial expressions really enhance the mood of the situation. Music - Besides the frequent repeating of tracks, Ms. Shimomura's creations are so well made, especially the boss musics. Sometimes, you may not be able to concentrate on the battle because the music just sounds so good (happened a few times to me)! XD Voices - The actors' voices really match the character they play. And I'm glad SE got to hire professionals (Christopher Lee, for example).
Hey, no worries. We've still got a year (literally, actually) until the game comes out. Get a PSP for your birthday or something ('cause I am :)).
The scene of Xemnas visiting Aqua's armor and the scene with Xigbar, Vexen, and Zexion are both flashbacks. The bigger question is why was it shown just before you fight Demyx, because they seemingly had nothing to do with the present situation.
Basically anything from Playhouse Disney, heck, anything from the Disney Channel including those Disney Channel Original Movies (High School Musical, Wendy Wu, etc.).
It was confirmed in Jump Festa. Both 358/2 Days and Coded are being released this summer in Japan, and BBS is still a "work in progress". Anyway, I think the longest news drought was 6 months, and knowing two of the games are coming out this summer, we can be certain news will appear before May is over, or June at the latest.
Ah, in that case here, Crisp's got really good high quality KH videos, including the secret ending. Just scroll down and you'll find it: http://www.kh-vids.net/showthread.php?t=11509&highlight=Font
