Ruby Rose 8,591 Posted February 7, 2014 Intreviews = canon fact unless Nomura himself decides to retcon . He doesn't retcon EVERYTHING or there would never be any canon storyline at all.Games = canonInterviews can be discussions about or elaborations on canon, but this isn't always the caseJust don't think about it to hard. Then you shouldn't have a problem. I never think too hard Which is why I hate TT - technically there could be a bazillion Xehanorts if you think about this and this possibility has never been addressed but if it was a feasible option you would think he wouldn't need to go after the apprentices or Riku or Roxas or Sora. He could just use all Xehanorts. But he does not do that so we don't know exactly. However , we don't know who the other 6 hooded figures are .The other six are:1. Winnie the Pooh2. Pence3. Kairi's Gandmother4. Terra5. John6. That NPC from Traverse Town who lost his heart in front of Sora in the first game, yet stood by the door to the 3rd District and ran the Accessory Shop thereafter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarLea Quinn 26,501 Posted February 7, 2014 Games = canonInterviews can be discussions about or elaborations on canon, but this isn't always the case Nope both interviews and in game material are both considered canon . If the creator himself says this is fact it is fact no matter what you are trying to say here .Things discussed in interviews are usually facts that Nomura elaborates on further or helps explain further for people who missed it in game . LMAO@ saying Nomura's words aren't canon - he is the only one who truly knows . 2 Demyx. and luka reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim's was obviously a joke.You obviously care more about this than me, I'm just messing with ya at this pointInterviews only go so far though, you have to take what they say with a grain of salt since, as you pointed out, they can "retcon" (I dunno what that means but I'm assuming they correct a previous statement)- anyway, they can retcon any previous interview. With that logic, not "all" interviews are canon as you just said since they can be corrected later, they're only canon until said otherwise meaning your earlier post was correct rather than your newest one- don't let your emotions change your reasonable argument into absolutes Interviews = canon fact unless Nomura himself decides to retcon . He doesn't retcon EVERYTHING or there would never be any canon storyline at all.^This was much more logical than "ALL NOMURA'S REAL interviews are" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

( and you claimed only in game is canon )That means nothing is fact using your logic which clearly isn't true .Like I said, Nomura does not retcon everything or change everything . It's only a retcon when it's MADE a retcon .Don't let your illogical babble cloud your judgement here. A given fact is a fact until otherwise stated . At the moment it is stated it's still CANON fact . If you don't even know the definition of retcon you shouldn't be arguing that case to begin with . Also you are totally missing my point when i say all interviews are canon - they are until something is retconned .And usually when they are retconned - it's by an open ended concept that Nomura used to retcon something meaning he used a loophole so he isn't necessarily contradicting himself.

I always stated it is canon UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE since Nomura does not retcon EVERYTHING .Can you not read or comprehend when you read?IN OTHER WORDS- EVEN AT THE TIME THE INTERVIEW WERE CANON BC IT WASN"T RETCONNED YET. Also , in game content is wayyyy more retconned than interviews since in interviews he uses some open ended concepts that allow future retcons. If you look back in past interviews there were clues and open ended answers that allowed this so one could argue it wasn't totally a retcon but in game it sure was since the loophole wasn't expounded on in game like in interviews. We differ in the fact that it is common knowledge interviews are considered canon fact which you claim isn't true simply bc there is a remote possibility it could be retconned . Which everything isn't .Then you contradict yourself by saying in game is canon when most retcons are in game compared to interviews.

Lol I thought it was implied since I didn't know what retcon is- jeez my bad xDxAnyway, Nomura's said a lot of stuff over the years so I'm skeptical at best about interviews, but I consider the games canon- that's my position, you don't have to agree with it and I don't gotta agree with yours- to each their own, but I'm fairly certain we agree on the discussion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you can agree that it is fact until retconned then how can you argue that the interviews are not viable sources of information. Just because he can retcon things doesn't mean he will and it doesn't change the validity of his words. He is the creator the series whatever he says is law until the moment he decides to change it. He does those interviews for a reason.You can't always rely on in game content because certain things are not clear or even explained so we have the creators words to explain his reasoning.

Kaweebo 3,617 Posted February 7, 2014 Return to human form? Honestly? I think Namura's been tossing in a few religious things in KH, and maybe Kingdom Hearts is supposed to be taken as a force that rules fate and consquence. That's my idea on it, anyway.
