You could say both matter.
Yeah, Terra's named "Lingering Spirit (or Sentiment)" in Jiminy's Journal.
Of course - get it. Besides, there are a lot of things hinting BBS in FM (Lingering Spirit battle, a couple of new cutscenes, secret ending).
There are also recolored Heartless, as well as new ones. Oh yes, and the secret ending - Deep Dive. Like Soushirei said, not as much as KH2:FM+.
Personally, I like the Terra/Xehanort theory. I actually believe that Xehanort IS Terra. So both Xemnas and Xehanort's Heartless came from Terra. Xehanort doesn't remember his past, right? Well, Xemnas doesn't either, but he seems to remember anger and hate. Remember that Terra in the FM battle said that he hated Master Xehanort. Whatever happened to Terra at the end of BBS, probably the last thing he did was hate Xehanort, so when he was revived by Ansem the Wise, the only thing he could remember was the name "Xehanort", which is why he took that name. His Nobody, Xemnas, could only remember the anger and hate that Terra felt for Master Xehanort.
Humans can actually think, and not everyone has the same opinion on things. That's what can make us dangerous.
Yeah, imagine cutscenes also show the height of the chairs you've achieved and Xemnas is squating on the ground while all the other members are touching the celing and Xemnas is giving orders. XD
I think I can tell which member is which by looking at their cloak, and that looked a lot like Roxas because his back was arched; that's him seeing a memory of himself for a second. And Nomura confirmed that the 14th didn't appear in KH2.
Hmm, that's quite clever. This could be a hint towards solving the Sora/Roxas/Ven connection. Oh yeah and death has nothing to do with becoming a Heartless. You only become a Heartless when you either give in to the dark or another Heartless attacks your heart.
I can't wait for the UCM codes! *Imagines having to fight three Ansem/Riku bosses at once*
KH1. Better story, better gameplay, and more challenging. KH2 mostly just for the graphics. CoM was the best of them all though.
I don't think it's that simple. He seems to have a bigger role than just being a guardian. He fights Ven somewhere in BBS (seen in the screenshot), and his helmet comes off, then in cuts to another scene. Plus, MX says that he's a "man" who is a "demon who has fallen too deep into the darkness". I think the apprentice is a very important character in BBS, if not the whole series.
Nomura said that Kairi being able to use a Keyblade is hinting at something. So I don't think it's as simple as her having a strong heart. If that were the case, wouldn't all seven Princesses of Heart have the ability to wield Keyblades?
Actually, since he's connected to Sora: Oblivion - Memories of Riku, Oathkeeper - Memories of Kairi (He made promises to her)
It's a mixture of a puzzle game and the regular KH gameplay. If there are bosses, they would probably be very strategic battles. Maybe like those old fashioned video game fights where you have to go through an obstacle course to get to the boss, attack them a bit, then they teleport away or something and you have go through a second course to get to them again, and so on.
Nice. Really great quality. Is this achievable with the other KH games?
I posted this somewhere else before but oh well. I was fighting Phantom once (secret boss in KH1) and Peter Pan died from that killing curse thing which means you can't heal him in any way. After a while, Donald somehow started using Cure on Peter, but of course it didn't do anything. But for some reason he kept on trying to heal him until I had 1 HP left (thanks to Second Chance) and no magic, then Phantom started chasing and clawing at me and I was like "WTF?! Heal me, Donald, heal me!" and I tried to glide away from him as fast as I could then used an ether to refill my magic while Donald kept trying to heal Peter like, "Peter Pan! Peter Pan! Peter P-" and at that moment, when finally stopped to use Cure, Sora was like, "Hea-" then Phantom caught up to me, clawed me, and I died XD.
But Nomura said that Sora's story wasn't over yet. After these three games, Sora will be in the next game, which is obviously KH3. Of course, even if Sora's in it, he might not be playable; for all we know he could be playing "damsel" in distress and you play as Riku trying to save him. Yes, yes, this is just an exaggeration. I know Nomura isn't stupid enough to make a KH story even close to something like that. I still think Sora will be the main character of KH3.
Of course, of course. I wouldn't be surprised if their real theme songs were different. I was just stating what is seemingly happening here, that it's a possibility. I mean, these different parts sound totally different from each other, only keeping the same drum beat to keep the music steady. And yeah, I wasn't really sure about MX's theme.
I'm sure a lot of you may have noticed this already, but I decided to put it up anyway. It seems that certain parts in Fate of the Unknown (KH2:FM secret ending music) seem to play only when the video is focusing on a certain character. The camera doesn't necessarily focus directly on the character when the part is playing, but the character always seems to be around when it plays. So these may be "samples" of their actual theme songs in BBS. I'm pretty sure about Terra's theme. Just look at this video I made. You'll understand what I mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n53gf1kweek
