Reyn 1,755 Posted May 11, 2013 I mean, if they took the Mark of Mastery in order to become Keyblade masters and be able to save the BBS trio, shouldn't they know a little backstory on the people they're saving first? I mean, Yen Sid could've easily told them about that when he was briefing them on what they would find in the Sleeping Worlds. But nope, they completely ignore the fact that they could tell them, just like how Riku and Namine ignored the fact that Sora was asleep for a year. Seriously? That doesn't make much sense why they wouldn't say anything by now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Caity 3,946 Posted May 11, 2013 Sora doesn't even know he's saving them yet. Even with Riku when Mickey was in front of him and mentioned them he just said he had 3 friends who'd be lights, not three people they need to save. So considering they know nothing about them, they wouldn't need to know anything about them until they're actually going to save them. 3 luka, Col.Random and Reyn reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2,990 Posted May 11, 2013 I'm not sure, but it's possible that Yen Sid did tell them about it off screen, and the game didn't show it because we already know the story. Who knows? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So he didn't make things worse, he kinda made them better. Aqua and Terra were the real ones who made everything worse.

Yeah, Eraqus was an idiot by not telling anyone about that Xehanort had possibly succumbed to Darkness. It wasn't intentionally Terra's fault. But yeah, Aqua made a mistake.

Maybe But still the fact that Xehanort literally said the true method of creating the X-blades,that still makes the entire VenVanitas fusion experiment plot point completely pointless,not to mention he admitted that using the fusion method won't create a Full power X-blade like the 7 Lights Vs 13 Darkness method. Ventus is just there to copy Roxas's design and makes you doubt that they're the same person while they're never related to each other except in a haircut(Roxas has been established 1000000000 times as Sora's nobody,if he's Ven,why didn't he remembered Ven's memory instead of Sora?)

Yeah, but Xehanort stated it was Hasty Generalization when making Ven fight Vanitas, so he didn't realize until later that it wouldn't work. Well, Roxas looks like Ven because when Sora freed his heart and Kairi's heart, he unintentionally freed Ventus's too, and it went into Roxas, making him look like Ven. He actually had a heart unlike the other nobodies, which is why he actually had feelings, and it affected Axel too, since Roxas made him feel like he had a heart, because Roxas actually did have a heart. Also, just because he had Ven's heart, doesn't mean he has his memories. Its been established in COM that Memories and the Heart are 2 completely different things, but can be intertwined depending on what your memories are. Sora had Ven's heart, but didn't gain his memories, so the same should apply to Roxas. He is Sora's Nobody, but his appearence was influenced by Ventus's heart joining with him.

It was still technically inside Sora the whole time, even thoughout COM. It just wasn't with the True Sora, it was with another incarnation of his Physical Body, which was his nobody.

Sora lost his body the moment he became a heartless and Roxas was created .

I know Roxas rejoined Sora, but i meant that his Physical body was probably destroyed when he joined Sora, and that he remained with him as a spirit. And the only thing about the fact that Sora doesn't wield just because of Ven, is that is never said in the actual games, which can make people assume that Ven's heart is the only reason he can wield. That's what i thought at first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
