Kingdom Hearts II Mysterious Objects

I know they've all been dealt with separately, but I wanted to discuss a few of them here.

First off, there is one thing in KH1 I never understood, that I think I may have finally figured out. In the End of the World, I believe when you enter the column of flame, there is a computer-like object, with five or six pods around it. At the time, I thought this was the machine Ansem and Xehanort used to study and manufacture heartless, but KHII proved this wrong. Perhaps this is where Xehanort, Braig, Dilan, Even, Eleaus, and Ienzo lost their hearts?

Okay, now onto KHII. This is probably the most discussed object: the memory pods in the basement that were not keeping Goofy, Donald, and Sora. I wrote a thread partially concerning these, but as it only got 26 views, I'll put my theory again: the original inhabitants of the world where Castle Oblivion lays were like those of Radiant Garden, but studied memories instead of hearts, and these were some of the pods from that world that Namine moved alongside Sora, Donald, and Goofy.

But that's not the only mystery held in the Mansion, for instance: the huge dining room table was smashed to pieces. Upon examination, the caption reads "Only a massive blow could've smashed this." yet the room shows no other sign of damage. What was this massive blow, and why did it only affect the table? Also, in the foyer of the castle, there is an object that is rotting and falling to pieces, but it is incased on a pedestal in the middle of the room, so it must have been important at one point. What was this artifact? Also, it seems that the only way to the rest of the mansion is through the courtyard, but someone rich enough to build that mansion would not have wanted to walk outside all the time, and it is safe to say that the door on the other side of the foyer leads to a room similar to that of the dining room, not a hallway. Is there another secret passage in the mansion, or is this just reading into an oversight from Square?

Twilight Town is indeed a mysterious world. During your final storyline visit to Twilight Town, it is covered in nobodies, and it seems that everyone has abandoned the streets and shops. Also, though no one else would probably recognize this (I pride myself on obsessive knowledge of Star Wars), there was a full Imperial-style ground assault force hovering over the planet (Assault of the Dreadnaught Gummi Route. Dreadnaught Cruisers are Imperial-class freighters used in Expanded Universe Star Wars for carrying large numbers of troops and ground assault vehicles). If this was meant to capture Axel, why didn't they just automatically go into Betwixt and Between? Afterall, to get to Axel from the world, they'd have to hack DiZ's computer, enter the digital world, and go into the portal there. Was something else happening at this time somewhere else on the world?

And those are just a few of the mysteries of Kingdom Hearts! I haven't even gotten into Yen Sid's Tower or The World that Never Was!

 

Wow, that's a lot of information and mysteries you found there. I didn't really notice. Yeah, the mansion is very full of secrets, but no one can be sure of what they are. We can only make guesses. As for the pods....I don't really understand what you're saying so....I can't really reply to that.

Twilight Town is a very strange world, and about your last visit, who can really know for sure?

 

That is interesting, I somewhat noticed most of that stuff, but brushed it off as "whatever. it's just a game"

 

Whoops! I just noticed I forgot a couple words when discussing the pods. What it meant to say was: "The original inhabitants of the world of Castle Oblivion were like those of Radiant Garden, but studied a person's memories rather than hearts." I have a whole thread based on it, if it still doesn't make sense.

 

Oh, okay. But all I have is KH2 and KH1, so I don't really know about the other games.
