I know this may sound of topic to what is being discussed, but at 3:07 in the opening, it appears that Namine is in it. I'm not too sure if it is her, but it does definitely resembles her appearance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiP2uG-tj6o Look at the right hand corner, next to Aqua.

I've just registered this account also, so I apologise if I'm posting in the wrong forum. ^^;

So, here's a translation by someone on the KHI forums of (most) of the conversation between Braig, Sora and Xemnas before the latter two do battle...

It, unfortunately, pretty much confirms the part of the supposed ending that I was hoping had been mistranslated... Also, the translator was lazy and left out what seems like quite a few specifics, so not entirely sure about the nature of things yet, but here it is anyway...

 

Xigbar: “Oh? Thanks to your heart, everything's gone according to our plan. The heart's a troublesome thing, isn't it?”

 

Sora: “Don't you guys have hearts too? Axel, Roxas, Namine, and that girl—in the emotions Roxas felt, everyone laughed, became angry, and became sad. The tears they shed are proof of that.”

 

Xigbar: “You finally realized it.”

 

Xemnas: “Correct. It is not as though our hearts had disappeared.” [insert a bunch of technobabble about Heartless and Nobodies and how this works I don't feel like translating]

 

Sora: “Then... then why did you trick them into thinking they had no hearts!?”

 

Xigbar rambles about Xemnas/Xehanort's true plans for the Organization, which basically involves using them as tools for Kingdom Hearts, and... making all of the members into Xehanort? Sora is appalled that they would trick their comrades for such a thing, and calls Xigbar out on that meaning Xigbar as Xigbar will disappear, too, and it zooms in on Xigbar's gold eye, and he states that he's already half-Xehanort.

 

Edit: They translated most of the other bit that Xemnas says. Pretty much confirms that Sora did indeed gain his Keyblade wielding ability from Ven -

 

'“That’s right; we did not remain heartless. There are differences, but [something inside us was trying to give birth to a heart? Can’t understand the whole sentence.] A heart is something that buds and is nurtured. The experiments to create heartless involved controlling the spirit and making people abandon themselves. But even if someone is made to lose their heart in that way, there will always be a heart within the vessel that is their body. We too were divided into heart and body, Heartless and Nobody, but I knew that we had come to possess hearts once again.”

 

He also says that most of the Organization members were unable to fulfill their purpose—they lacked power, they lacked understanding, they plotted rebellion! But that too was ~all according to plan~!

 

Braig says that Sora’s power comes from a connection to someone else’s heart, and he himself is not keyblade wielder material. But not to worry, the Organization will still use him as a vessel! Sora's all like, "I don't care if I'm not a real keyblade wielder! My power comes from my friends!" *cue cavalry*'

Interesting, so would that mean Sora would lose his keyblade wielding abilities once Ven is saved and removed from his heart? I doubt it, but it makes for a interesting discussion.

 

Edit: Hey guys there's a stream up. He's already beaten TWTNW with Sora and now he's doing it with Riku.

Umm, that's Goofy. Look at a higher quality opening from the game itself and you can see that. What you thought was Namine was really Goofy's hat.

One question. Can anyone describe what happened after the Xemnas fight? I missed the scene and it's not up on the video stuff yet.

In the opening scene, Sora could still wield a Keyblade when Ven was still there. So, I kinda doubt he'll lose the ability to hold a Keyblade, but we shall see. Anything can happen.

The ending was epic. Still Nomura said we'd know who the MF was, but we don't. He isn't regular MX because MX appears in the throne room right after you beat MF and then MF is also sitting by him in one of the chairs. It's also not Isa since we saw him attack Lea. Uhhhh I need translations.

Just saw the ending...it wasn't as sad as I thought it would be (Sora doesn't seem to mind that he failed the exam, and is really happy that Riku passed, and when he leaves, he leaves happily enough. ) except at the end where he's in Traverse Town and seems a little sad that he's on his own now, and then the dream eaters appear out of nowhere and cheer him up.(Have no idea why, but...). But the epic part? We See Ven. Now, it could just be my imagination, but I am almost positive that I saw Ven MOVE his head up a little-just a centimeter. I also love the credits...we see Aqua, Terra, and Ven! Roxas, Xion!

 

But the really epic part is that during the credits, they give you separate letters that appear on the screen one by one, spelling: This leads to Kingdom Hearts.

 

Notice how Tetsuya left off the '3' part...

 

All in all, I loved the ending, and I can't wait to see it with english subtitles and the english version of it!

 

-P.S: Lea does get a keyblade, made from his chakras. And everyone else's reactions is basically this: WHAAATTTTTTT???? (Like Sora's reaction when he finds out he never fought the real Ansem back in Hollow Bastion)

Lol I don't know. After he's defeated MX(the old man appears), but MF(YMX) is sitting on a seat in the throne room right next to him, so he can't be MX. That's why I was saying we need translations badly.
