:( No, I swear I remember hearing even before BBS that the LS fight in FM+ wasn't meant to be canon, just for "fun". Maybe I am just thinking of BBS though. @_@

Mega Flare is just a regular command (though it takes up two slots instead of one) and they aren't kidding when they say it's overpowered. I loved it though because when you use it, it would pretty much slaughter everything on the screen. XD It was so useful in the arena when you're being utterly swarmed, or even just for leveling up in the last world. n_n;;;

edit: idk, I think it's just Germany. D:

Spoiler:

Well, still: the character itself turned out to be canon, but the fight wasn't. Tetsuya DID say that that fight wasn't canon. VanSent was the same, I think. Both very real characters, just not canon fights. They were there for fun and for a challenge. I think Xemnas v0.5 is gonna follow the same way and be a canon character, just not necessarily a canon fight.

Meh. I'm just glad to be getting the game with extra stuff in-game. If we were to get something extra like that it'd be cool, yes, but... not necessary for me n_n However, if there were to be MORE extra stuff in-game and us not get it, I'd be a very unhappy Vani/Stand >.>

Spoiler:

Ohhh I guess that's where my mix-up was. xD; I usually consider "canon" to be all-inclusive so I was thinking like how the extra Xemnas fight in KH:FM was canon. Both meeting the character and the fight are implied to have occurred during KH in KH2. But since Sora's fight with Terra's Armour in KH2:FM+ is going to be written off as game mechanic, even if the character is real, I don't consider it canon since it will never be referenced and we're supposed to pretend it didn't actually happen. :/

I dislike those fights because they seem so lame in comparison. D: Oh well.

(That said... Xehanort, stop hogging all the secret boss fights in some way. >:O)

I'm looking forward to all the additions while mourning the loss of overpowered Mega Flare ;~; but Critical is probably gonna be a pain. XD; Oh well. I hear they're also adding more cutscenes to clear up some confusing parts. I'll feel so ace if the parts they clear up are the parts I found really confusing... 'cause I just assumed those parts were due to my fail-translations. XD;

 

[Riku]

Spoiler:

Well, it could also mean that they are non-canon as of now, seeing as how Xemnas v0.5 is an entirely new enemy it seems who is to have a significant role in the future. No new games have really come out to confirm/deny that fight took place. Same for VanSent. And, also, same for LS. Sure, there was Coded, but... that was a Data Sora. It didn't really have anything to do with the main plot aside from, like Days and BbS, set up for the finale of the Xehanort Saga. So, it could in time become canon. Who knows?

New cutscenes? Where did you hear about that? (I agree from the translation vids I've seen. Some things leave some questions unanswered.)

 

[Cherrim]

...this stuff isn't even spoilery so long as I edit out one name. XD; *does so*

I suppose that's true, but if they re-use the "touch this portal in order to be transported to the fight" sort of thing, it makes it harder to make it seem canon whether it's intended to later on or not. :s In FM, you walk through a hole in the wall at Hollow Bastion and Xemnas appears to test you. It's not out of your way and it makes sense (canonically) that he'd wait for Sora to stray a bit from his main path and fight him out of the way when no one else in HB is around to see.

:( But when you go to fight LS or the secret fight in BBS (the original secret fight, not the new one), you go up and examine a gaping portal sort of thing and get transported to another area to fight it. (Actually, I don't think there's a transportation cutscene for BBS's boss, it just sort of... appears idk. I did that fight twice and gave up. XD) It's not as explained so it's hard to make the situation canon. D:

It's like how I don't consider the Absent Silhouettes in FM+ to be canon since you can't really explain them. (Even if it is hilarious to imagine Marluxia only sticking around to partially-exist next to a flower. /sigh) But the data fights in Radiant Garden at the end could be easily explained, so it's not as hard to see them as canon. u_u If there's even a slightly good way to explain it plot-wise, I'm fine with a fight. Otherwise it feels so cheap and tacked on. D:

I'm pretty sure it was in an Ultimania interview... or some interview where Nomura mentioned that the English version was getting added features. I swear one of the interviews mentioned that they tweaked cutscenes and added a few in to make the plot less confusing.

 

[Rokusasu]

It's been mentioned here a couple of times; I'm sure that's my memory and not my sleep-deprived brain making things up. c:

 

[Riku]

I have no doubts it was mentioned before, I was just too lazy to backread :P

Also, for anyone who has a Hot Topic nearby, apparently they've added more KH stuff to their wares. And, there are some apparently new screenshots from the Enchated Dominion level.

 

[Rokusasu]

Argh, why can't we have Hot Topic over here? -moar complaints about England-

I'm getting a Roxas plushie for my birthday though. 8K

 

[Riku]

Oh? And when is that, Roku-chan? *goes to Googling random Roxas pics*


Also, still no word on Terra's VA. I'm beginning to get the feeling we won't know until the game come out >.>

I have myself a Roxas plushie but... but... D:

His hair fell off! Dx

 

[-AzuL]

Can i join this club please ! And i do want to know what is the difference between Ventus and Roxas ?!

 

[Rokusasu]

End of this month. Literally. c:

Maybe they haven't released it for a reason? Because it's the same VA as another character from previous games?

I have myself a Roxas plushie but... but... D:

His hair fell off! Dx

What?! Bald Roxas?! Dx

 

[sasuneuchiha]

Spoiler:

Wait a second...they said that the item recieved from the Vanitas Sentiment was overpowered or something like that? Does that mean we get to fight him too?! If so, that'll be awesome and probably like Seph in the two original KH1s. We get a boss they don't and in exchange they get Final Mix...

Yes, I do know that all I'm good for is irritating the crap out of you all with my pointless banter though I do agree that the Mega Flare thing is unforgivable.

 

[Rokusasu]

Haha, all I'm good for is obsessing over a certain pairing and bringing up a certain pair of pants.

 

[Crystal-Heart]

Can i join this club please ! And i do want to know what is the difference between Ventus and Roxas ?!

Sure thing, you're added. The difference between Ven and Roxas is a little bit of personality and that Ven was already 14-15 ten years before Kingdom Hearts started. Birth by Sleep fully explains why Roxas looks like Ventus though.

[Riku]

Yay! That means I've got plenty of time to come up with something fo yo b-day!!


I don't think Terra has the same VA, though. There's only one VA from a previous game I can think of that would make sense if it has to be kept secret, but the clips of Terra put those to shame because the VA in question could NOT do that voice....
Well, they could've done one more I can think of that *may* be able have done that voice that would result in secrecy, however.... I don't see why they'd bring the actor back, and I don't know how diverse he is with his voice. I highly doubt it's him.

 

[Rokusasu]

Ah, so Terra doesn't turn into a woman then. n_n -amazing skills of deduction-

 

[Riku]

Whoever said Terra turns into anything? :3

 

[Rokusasu]

It's just an assumption I guess, seeing as he's not in future games and because we've seen Aqua's armour in Final Mix + and something about Ven.

 

[wee187]

Well, we'll find out eventually lol. :D

Personally, I think Terra, Aqua, and Ven will end up being extremely important again in KH3 when it's made in some shape or way.
