Not for nothing that's pretty much common sense. Also he specifically lays out a set of guidlines and changes it later, it is indeed a retcon just saying.</p></blockquote> Well I'm sorry if you thought it was clear, I however had a hard time understanding what flaming lea said. Yes indeed that is common sense. Why you had to point that out to me is beyond me. I already know the conditions for dual wielding and can understand why the ability would be taken away with out the conditions. But nomura can do whatever he wants and if he wants to let sora and roxas keep their dual wielding then what I was saying is that could be a reason he uses to allow it. And obviously you don't understand what a retcon is. Because a retcon is when a meaning or something that has been done in the past is changed to fit better with the plot. Nomura would not be changing anything because he has never stated the rules for what happens after the hearts and bodies are separated. Even if it was a retcon who would care, nomura has made so many in series its hard to track, so whats the problem? At flaming lea: in CoM sora had never displayed having the ability to dual wield, thus he never lost it, because he never had it in the first place. Are you two like a couple or something? Edit: I'm also not the only one who had the thought about sora and roxas's dual wielding future. Elizagreenstar just made the same point I did...

There were so many gramatical mistakes I just couldn't understand what flaming lea was trying to say. Thanks for clearing that up. I still don't think that it would be a retcon because as I said nomura has never said exactly what will happen when they all separate. He's said WHY they can dual wield but not what will happen AFTER they separate. At least not to my knowledge.

<blockquote class='ipsBlockquote'data-author="Flaming Lea" data-cid="929036" data-time="1355956181"><p> No but he's laid out the very reason why was Sora and Roxas could which involves them having another wielders heart inside them . So yes it would be a retcon</p></blockquote> I'm sorry? I don't understand what you are trying to say.

<blockquote class='ipsBlockquote'data-author="devereauxr" data-cid="928901" data-time="1355942859"><p> I can understand where you're coming from but it be pretty hard for him to use that logic especially since that would mean anyone with a deep connection could wield multiple keyblades. Retconning specific guidelines that Nomura had previously set due to fanservice is one of the series biggest flaws in my opinion.</p></blockquote> Yes, but no other characters in the series have such strong connections to one another like sora, roxas and ven. Personally I don't want Nomura to do it, but seeing how he does it pretty much all the time (retconning), it doesn't take that big of a stretch of the imagination to see him doing it. It also wouldn't technically be retconning, because nomura has never specifically said what the exact future of sora's dual wielding is going to be.

While I read what Nomura said, I could still easily imagine him saying something (after roxas and sora split and ven is saved) along the line of "even though roxas and sora and ven are all separated physically, their hearts ( assuming roxas does infact have his own heart) are still so deeply intertwined with one another that sora and roxas still have the ability to dual wield". Also the whole series is based on fanservice. I'm nowhere near saying this is guaranteed to happen, I'm saying that its not to hard to see it happening.

I've never understood why this game gets such a bad rap. Its definitely one of my favorite in the series. I found the gameplay to be very fun and it is way more strategic than other games in the series. It also is my favorite game story wise. Plus I love Namine.
