Kingdom Hearts Randomness (SPOILERS)

[Kagim]

No, but it is Ansem X all jumbled up, which is what we were led to believe his original name was.

Stillll...

Really? I could've sworn Anti-Sora (I like that term better than darkness Sora personally, especially since it technically makes more sense) was random as well. I did a second play through of the game where I used the Forms more openly, instead of as Boss killers (like what most people do with super moves), and I rarely acheived Anti-form. Meanwhile, I managed to get Final Form a little over 1/2 way through, and on my first playthrough I got it while fighting my way up the stairs of that big wizard's tower (Mickey's teacher, who's name escapes me at the moment).

No. It's up to ten points, 1=0% and 10=70% i am fairly sure. Wisdom and Courage add 1 or 2 points. Master adds 3 or 4. Final wipes the slate clean, and its impossible to go Anti-form using Final form. As well stepping on the save point is supposed to lower it/wipe it clean.

Boss fights have a +1.5X chance of happening, Organization boss fights have a +2.5X chance of happening. And the final battle has a +10X chance of it happening.

The boss and Org numbers are close approximates because of my bad memory, but I am sure that unless you go final form on Xemnas you turn into anti-sora unless you JUST went anti-sora before the fight because of the 10X multiplier.

Also, Yen-sid is Mickeys teacher.

Edit: the reason why i like Darkness is simply because Since Final Form resets the counter i always thought of it as purging Soras heart of darkness whenever he used it. The other forms are combat and violent forms, despite his goal he is still fighting bringing darkness closer to his heart. The more often he uses those forms the harder he is pushing himself to fight. Thus the darkness grows inside of him.

Final Form is a pure form where Sora transcends in my mind(thus the floating and controlling the keyblades with his heart) and is the opposite of Anti-Sora. Final Form is Sora in his purest form, the light side of his heart. While Anti-Sora is the darkness inside his heart emerging and taking control.

That and he acts like the little heartless with the way he runs around.

No, Riku never became a heartless. He was just possessed by Ansem (Or Xehanort if you want to get technical). Which I actually find ironic. Riku was the one who most used the darkness yet never became a heartless. However, Sora did and Kairi also lost her heart to make a Nobody. Man the series is confusing as hell yet still so awesome.

Amen, brother lol. The game was so awesome, and so was Riku. He never really was used to his full potential. The final boss fight though was wicked, yeah? Sora and Riku going all Jedi with the beams and everything xDD

I just hated how in this game the combat was made so easy. All you really had to use was the Triangle button for every boss and BAM, done.

I think you mean Amen sister, but I'll let it slide =p But I agree, Riku needed far more screen time, you never got a chance to truely let him shine. The same can be said for Demyx. He would have made such a fantastic villian.

:x My bad xDD

But yes, Riku kicked so much ass, and he was always so difficult to beat, especially the last Riku fight in KH1 >_< It took me FOREVER to beat him. He kept flying around and everything.

Demyx annoyed me lol. But I LOVED Axel and Zexion. Zexion was so awesome. Though his copy abilities were a bit cheap xD.

I'm still stuck on the last Riku fight, it's really frustrating. Axel and Zexion are just plain awesome. I hated that they had to die =[

Oh I know! I wasn't saying "you should call it this because it's correct", I was just saying I prefer Anti-Sora =P

Also, thanks for the explanation of how anti-form would come up, I thought it was random all this time
Oh, and thanks for the reminder of Yen-sid's name...it's been a while since I've picked up KH2 tbh...makes me want to pop it in and play through it again now...xP

EDIT: Didn't see the quote about Xemnas' name, haha. I know it doesn't make sense to me either, but they probably came up with that to tie it in to the first game, even though the bad guy in the first game was Xehanort's heartless, and not actually Ansem. Who knows.

Oh yeah don't worry call it what you want, i just had the urge to go on a rant to revel in how much awesome is in that game

No problem as well, go play KH2 again. Do itttttttttt.

Yeah, the name thing does bother me, as His true name is Xehanort. I personally think its jsut an 'oops' moment on Squares behalf, but its small enough i honestly don't care.

The new big bad in Birth By sleep looks like Xehanort but more evil.. some how, so maybe in that one we might learn just what the hell happened and why Ansems apprentice went crazy.

I think I will later today, or this weekend...I wish my PS3 would play it (I have one of the newer "not backwards compatible" PS3's)

I agree, I think it might've been a small mistake on their part, and they just said "Screw it, run with it and hopefully people will assume we did this on purpose"

I would like whichever installment is next to come out in the America's...which reminds me, I should probably pick up 358/2 days...

 

[Trivun]

Alright, well I have been in love with the Kingdom HEarts games since they came out... sorta. I was reluctant to play at first in fear of the Disney Characters making it so childish. And that's not completely true. I actually enjoyed kicking ass with Donald and Goofy, and Sora is such an amazing protagonist. Hot too xDD. And they announced there will be a third one with Sora as the main character still (YAAY!!! DD) But won't be released until 2012 >_<

Anyways, I have played these games several times, but am still wondering. Did Riku ever become a heartless, or did he just embrace Ansem into his body? This is what confuses me, because I thought it once said Riku became a heartless. If so, where is his Nobody? Because a Nobody of Riku would rock the shit out of the KH world AND Sora lol. Since Riku was always the strongest one xDD

Xehanort's Heartless possessed Riku, and so there was no Nobody created (though of course Xehanort had a Nobody, Xemnas, created when he became a Hertless...). So no, Riku never was a Heartless. The only reason for Namine's existence as a Nobody is because of an anomaly when Kairi's heart left her body. But Riku's heart never left his, so he has no Nobody nor a Heartless.

And I know that's still as confusing as hell, but hey, it's a confusing series . Still awesome though, except I hate Square Enix now for releasing 358/2 Days and Birth By Sleep on different platforms (what about those of us, the vast majority, who only have ONE handheld console, eh? Way to shit on your fans, Square...).

Well, birth by sleep is Coming in September to the PsP.

That is the one that's supposed to set up Kingdom Hearts 3, which will have an entirely different story then the originals. I remember hearing that they want to "Give Sora a bit of a break" So the three new guys in Birth By sleep and the bonus end cinematic in Kingdom Hearts 2.

Coded, on the other hand, is up in the air whether we will get it or not. Originally a cell phone game there are plans to make it a DS game. Sadly, much like Kingdom Hearts Final Mix its release status is "TBA".

 

[Bluesclues]

snip avoiding wall of text

Aww, well that's not fair D=
I think there's enough of a fanbase in the West to warrant us receiving copies of those games :\

 

[Josh Kurber]

Now, Sora in his Darkness form. I really wish the game had delved deeper into that happening. The idea of Sora having two sides due to his time as a heartless is pretty damn awesome and soooo wished we would get a true heartless form rather then one intended as a punishment.

His Darkness form was really strong, surprisingly. And I remember there was a certain way to activate it. Like a timer with the Forms or so lol. My only problem was the inability to turn it off. I honestly wasn't a fan of most of the Forms. The only one I loved using was the Red one. The Blue one and Master Form I only used to power up and get the special skills.

I would have loved to be able to level up Darkness Form and get special abilities or so. Like....like.... well, I'm not sure what you could take from Darkness Form xDD

Each form, except the final form, added point to your darkness meter(all invisible) and if you hit ten points you turn into your darkness form. You also took 1.5X damage and dealt .5X damage and couldn't pick up health orbs.

Still, i savored every moment of being heartless sora. My favorite part is when you go heartless Sora hangs lazily by his foot from ledges instead of by his hands.

After Darkness my favourite was final form, just because of how fluent Soras attack animations were. You really got a sense of how powerful Sora had become with the form.

I agree. I adored Final Form. But as I said earlier, I just hate how you didn't get it until the last boss. And to top it all off, you couldn't USE it against the last boss. Even though all the last boss was was pressing the Triangle button over and over >_<

EDIT: Sorry, it said the other one wasn't posted so I did it again >_<

Umm, you could get Final Form WAAAAAY before the final fight, it's just completely random, like Anti Sora was.

Were you? I have the strategy guide and it told me it only became unlocked when you unlocked the Kingdom Hearts alongside Riku and Mickey (or whatever it was) and that afterwards it was a random encounter. I'm not saying you're wrong, not at all. Only trying to figure it out myself xDD

Exactly, or those of us who can't afford a PSP AND DS. Though, if I were to choose, I would rather PSP and Birth By Sleep. Roxas' story never interested me. And I already know that the 14th member of the Organization was another part of Sora's heart. Sorry if I just spoiled that, too >_<. But the three new Keybladers are of more interest to me than Roxas. He bugged me so much. Only kicked ass because he could use two Keyblades, in my opinion lol.

 

[Josh Kurber]

I'm still stuck on the last Riku fight, it's really frustrating. Axel and Zexion are just plain awesome. I hated that they had to die =[

Oh, I know. I was around level twenty or so, and I think I had the Olympia Keyblade, which rocked against Riku. All I would do is, when he starts zipping around, glide around all casually in circles until his move is over. And try to take advantage of that Counter skill as much as possible.

 

[Josh Kurber]

WHOA WHOA WHOA! Where did you hear that KH3 is being made?!

It's been in the works for quite some time now...the end movie to the second game is testament to that...

Not really, that video was mostly for Birth by Sleep, hence the title at the end. Square Enix said that they haven't started KH3 because of all the Final Fantasy games they've been working on. Square's creative director said they were going to announce something big this year, all clues leading to KH3. If they do, It'll probably be done at TGS.

Ah. Well, guess that's what happens when you don't keep up to date with the news. xP


EDIT: Also, something tells me the OP is under the same impression I was, which is where the confusion is coming from.

No, they plan on making a third one after Birth By Sleep still involving Xehanort and his heartless or whatever. They haven't titled it yet. But like I mentioned, they wish to release one KH game a year. And they said KH3 won't be the end of Kingdom Hearts, but just the end of the Xehanort saga or whatever.

Thanks for the tips. When I play the game again I'll be sure to do that =]

 

[OmegaXIII]

I always kind of thought Axel might be Riku's Nobody. It really reflected in his relationship with Roxas, the "older brother" type friendship that Sora and Riku share.

Axel is, according to 358/2 Days, the Nobody of someone called Lea.

I thought that to, but no one else has a name like Sora/Roxas.

For instance, Xemnas is not Xehanort spelled all mixed up.

But it is Ansem mixed up with an X and if i remember correctly Xenahort posed as Ansem for a while

I think Xehanort's Heartless posed as Ansem. Xehanort I think died a long time ago in Birth By Sleep and... wait... no, I dunno, this game is confusing with everybody having three different forms practically. Or was it Ansem's Heartless that posed as Ansem? -.-

Yay for helping!

But yeah, he was a nasty bugger. I actually would spend hours running around trying to level up inside the tower, just to get enough to kick his ass. He was so tough.

I actually gave up a while ago because I couldn't beat him. The closest I got was half a health bar left. Maybe I'll start up again soon, probably with a new game to make sure I'm high leveled enough =p

Also, check what items to give up or keep in the beginning. Depending on the choice, you learn some skills sooner than later. I think I always gave up the Rod and kept the Sword. I never used anything but the sword xD.

 

[2xDouble]

I want to know who namine is, what Sora did between the two games. I know he killed a bunch of orginization 13, but what was he trying to do? One more question, was Roxas' life just part of a computor program Ansem made? That part still confuses me

two games in the series you need to play. KH: Chain of Memories (aka: "what happened to Sora between KH1 and 2". originally GBA, recently re-released on PS2) and KH: 358/2 Days (aka: "what happened to Roxas during Chain of Memories". on the Nintendo DS). They contain a great deal of information and lore.

I actually gave up a while ago because I couldn't beat him. The closest I got was half a health bar left. Maybe I'll start up again soon, probably with a new game to make sure I'm high leveled enough =p

Also, check what items to give up or keep in the beginning. Depending on the choice, you learn some skills sooner than later. I think I always gave up the Rod and kept the Sword. I never used anything but the sword xD.

I'm exactly the same! I boost everything into strength, keep the defense and mainly give up magic. After all, there are items for that kind of thing anyway.
