I didn't use a form to beat Saix. The second time I played I tried and ended up with Anti-Form and just squeaked by defeating him. He's really not that hard if you just move around a lot and go in to attack him. Also, the Reaction Command works very well against him. To win him really, I'd just suggest to keep moving around, don't bother with Forms because Anti-Form, as with many of the Org, shows up more often than not, at least for me. If you have 'Trinity' Limit Break, you can also use that. Really, I just beat the tar out of him with combos and had leaf bracer on to heal, jumped or glided around when I had that option, and just avoided him when he went berserk a lot. He wasn't as hard to me as Xaldin or Demyx were.
In any event, whether Terra is 'Xehanort/Xemnas' or the apprentice is... Xehanort cannot possibly be Master Xehanort in BBS. THAT is impossible.
Hmm, wow, what an interesting combat idea. If Riku and Repliku would actually work together...I think they could take Roxas and Ven. Both are very powerful and since their powers 'now' wouldn't mirror each other exactly but they'd have tolerance to their abilities, they might be the better team. I wouldn't say though that Roxas and Ven couldn't defeat them at all...but the concept of Riku and Repliku fighting on the same side just is ultimate. (It has nothing to do with my nick...maybe it does.)
Hmm, I could swear somewhere it mentioned that only the Keyblade could truly get rid of them but going through a script, I can't find it. I'll have to browse through it later a bit more. Maybe it's just 'magical weapons' in the end but the Keyblade is special because it will bring the Heartless out. Leon: The Heartless have great fear of the Keyblade. That’s why they’ll keep coming after you no matter what. He says that to explain to Sora why the Heartless keep showing up and trying to get them, and also that they are after Sora's Heart because he's chosen by the Keyblade. I'll go through the script some more and see if I can actually find something more on it. Maybe some more info is in the Ansem Reports.
Yes, they both did speak to her. So I guess in the end he could have been referring to Roxas, or to both Sora and Roxas as one entity. It's hard to say right now. DiZ was kind of a jerk about the Nobodies.
I'm dyslexic...and -always- get that backwards. Yes, 2970...30*99=2970...I can do math...rawr. =:(
Yes, sometimes kids will not listen to a verbal lecture and make sure after a while to let you know it's a humdrum boring old 'lecture' with rolls of the eyes or they'll just come out and tell you so and that they don't care. Time Out works for little kids..and only so well too. So, sometimes I do think that you have to swat a kid on the hand or on the rump to show that kid you are -very serious- about them not doing something that could cause harm to him/her or someone else. Each kid is different so some may just adhere to the words spoken and positive reinforcement. Others are more stubborn and even animals in the wild, when their kids are doing something dangerous, will grab them and bark or growl or give them a bat of a paw. Of course, this doesn't mean someone should beat the tar out of a kid, but I can say that a swat on the rump really can get it through when words just aren't enough.
Yes, you are right. I just meant that it was Sora that spoke to Kairi in that scene and who DiZ was referring to, in a way saying it as though Roxas and Sora were connected. I just worded it badly. DiZ did not believe Roxas had a heart though and even got on Riku when Riku said he felt bad for him. This is why Riku began to do things on his own, because he felt bad and thought Roxas had more to him than DiZ was willing to admit, hence taking the picture, the crystal etc and getting them to Sora. Maybe he was more referring to Roxas, but I just figured it was guided to Sora in the end since it was he who actually spoke to Kairi.
I think you are taking things to the extremes, seriously. Who cares if some people like the FFTA moogles or not? It's an opinion and not something you should be berating others over, nor insinuating a 'racial prejudice' on. I don't see what the big deal is in the end. I think they are not as cool as the moogles in every other FF game and KH. You disagree. I accept your decision without calling you biased. Lighten up, please. It's just a matter of preference in the end. There was no need to "Hitlerize" this conversation with the stupid Aryan crap either. Also, you totally switched around what I said about the dogs. They are different 'breeds', whereas 'Moogles' in FFTA and FFT were not declared a different sub-species or breed from the Moogles in other games. Also, I didn't say they shouldn't exist. Hell, it's a fantasy creation and I certainly wouldn't say Pugs should not exist because I have a preference to think Labrador Retrievers are cooler dogs. That's just downright silly. I think I am not the one who needs to 'get over' anything. If you like the FFTA Moogles better, you do. I don't mind that and am certainly not calling you names for it. Have the same respect for others. We aren't evil racists just because we don't like some concept art design of something that is different from what we have grown accustomed to.
Yeah, Shadows..I do seem to like doing that a lot. I just get carried away. The Dark Keyblade was forged from the Hearts of the Princesses of Heart. It's a pseudo temporary Keyblade meant for one purpose, which was to unlock the Door to Darkness. I am not sure of its other abilities truly since it was never really shown to do anything else other than have the potential to unlock 'Hearts' and other such things and I believe the Princesses of Heart were needed for it since each of them appears to be 'pure hearted' and absent of Darkness, and Kingdom Hearts is the same, so they are connected to their worlds and it. Because it is a temporary Keyblade made in such a manner, I don't think it follows along the same lines necessarily as the others do even if it was powerful for its purpose.
Hmm, terribly sorry I hadn't gotten back to you. I will have to find the pictures later as I seem to have been silly and placed them on a disk sometime after I made that banner I showed the first time. I think I'll just go with the sig I have for now. Sorry for putting you through the wait and all. I hate to continue to make you wait so when I find it I'll post the links but meanwhile, I don't want to leave you sitting around.
Actually, her name in the FF VII English version is Aeris. Her Japanese name was Aerith. However, when they changed Sephiroth's name which in Japanese is Sephiros(u), they thought the connection with Sephiroth and Aerith having a 'th' would be awkward so they altered her name to Aeris. I believe that's why her name changed, any way. It's been sometime since I've seen it. I was actually surprised in KH that they used Aerith instead of Aeris, but I do think it was cool because that was always meant to be her real name any way. Now that you mention it, yes, that was starting to get on my nerves too at points. It made me want to kick Pooh back into his window to be stuck again.
There are a few hints to beating Demyx. One is to try changing to Wisdom Form when he is doing the water forms so you can hit them and get rid of them faster, or to do it when he is doing the water walls all around that make it hard to get at him. I never really bothered using Wisdom form on the water beings and switched back to normal after using it to deal with the water wall issue instead. Someone recommended it to me and it does work, though I had defeated him before just by moving around a lot. I do warn if you change into a Form, you risk turning into Anti-Form, but if you can get Wisdom to work, it can help you out to get some cheap shots at him when he's doing the geysers etc. Also, trying out some of the Limits with your team members can help take his bar down some. Do not do Limits though with the water beings there. Instead, rely on the Reaction Command or Wisdom Form. To me, they were kind of hard to see, so I just preferred using the Reaction Command. Another thing to do is try to move around a lot and when he does let out the water forms, stay nearby him and do the reaction command because they tend to not move too far from him. That way you can hit the most of them for the best times. When dealing with the water forms, I'd rely on the reaction command "Wild Dance" the most because seriously, it works the best by what I've experienced, any way. Also, stay near him when you can and wait for the reaction command. When he does the water walls really bad, back off him and make sure to have the Leaf Bracer ability on so that you can cure yourself if things get too bad. Try to keep him up in the air if you can and when he does the bubble sort of attack, back away and elude the water geysers by listening to what he says first. "kick to the beat" is what he'll say for the water geyser/walls. Hope that helps at all. He can be pretty tough if you are in the low 30s in level but keeping fast and using the Wild Dance reaction command, not moving too far from Demyx is really the key to winning here. Good luck!
I chose Terra but the other two are cool to me as well. I would have chosen Aqua and debated between the two because seeing a female kick some *** for a change is a nice thing too. Ven doesn't really intrigue me as much but he's cool too.
Nudity Art is art to me. I see nothing wrong with showing someone naked in a pose, a picture drawn, a portrait painted, a picture taken or a sculpture done etc of someone nude. It's a 'body' and we all have them, don't we? I agree with what Laurence_Fox said. If it's a pose or done for a purpose of expression, that is art. If it done where it is tasteless, vulgar and just in your face sex stuff, well, that's porn. Porn, to me, is just vulgar expressed sexual art in its way, to get a reaction of stimulating sex. Seeing someone nude doesn't always cause that reaction and those who worry so much about 'David' and other things like that are really silly to me. Seeing nude pictures or sculptures can teach people what's really there under clothing and apparently some people are afraid of that knowledge.
The War on Terror is on a variety of things and well...yes, part of the terrorists' issues are pertaining to Israel and this has been the case for a while. The brewing tensions between the Jews and Palestinians has been gruesome for some time and with how foolish people of both sides are over there, we may see it get worse before it gets better still. Also, the hatred of Americans is because we do tend to side with the Israelites more than we do with the Palestinians and we've given them a lot of military items. They do get away with too much in my opinion and if American political figures were stronger with them, well, things might tone down more. However, it doesn't look likely to happen. I won't say it is more strongly just because of this that the terrorists and other middle eastern Muslims can't stand Americans, but you are right that it is definitely one of the reasons we have problems working with the Middle East as effectively as we may want to. There is a lot of bad blood that even goes back well before America was founded in dealing with the Europeans so I could agree some issues are also there by racism too. There have been many wars involving the Christians and Muslims as well which when we coin it to race, the Christians were mainly Caucasian.
Yeah, I went off on a tangent there. I tend to do that. =:)
Actually when DiZ made the comment he was referring to 'Sora' had made contact with Kairi's Heart; not Roxas. If you remember in the story before that Kairi is questioning things and asks who Sora is because his voice is in her head and he says 'Thanks a lot Kairi!" all sarcastic. They were attempting to fix both Sora and Roxas at that point and what Sora would see, Roxas would get some of too in dreams. Because Roxas was actually attached to a 'Somebody' that was living, unlike the other Organization members and Nobodies, he was getting dreams from Sora as Namine was repairing his mind. This is why Roxas left the Org in the first place; to find a reason to explain the dreams he was having. This is also why Riku had to get Roxas though, because to awaken Sora, Roxas had to be back to where he was from too.
Some asked where this came from. It's from KH and is in the fake Ansem Reports. Here's the whole thing for those that want to see. Yes, Xehanort had figured out that she was a Princess of Heart and so he sent her off to Destiny Islands. This is also how he more than likely found Riku, by following her journey and in KH when he is a child, Sora leaves the Secret Cave but Riku remains behind to see the door glowing there.
The Keyblades are meant so that the wielder can send Heartless on their merry way out of that condition to where they are supposed to go. I also believe that since it was stated Keyblades were needed to kill the Heartless, that anyone 'around' the Keyblade wielder could also kill the Heartless as a sort of magical gift to allies of the Keyblade. It's not a proven fact but something I figured must be true or else Donald and Goofy could not do much but just keep helping defend and cure Sora, and well all of Sora's allies would be pretty ineffectual otherwise. Keyblades are also tied to the wielder. He or she cannot effectively become 'unarmed' or the weapon removed from the person unless the person is not the intended rightful Keyblade wielder of that particular weapon. If it falls from them, they can call it back. It seems that the Keyblade, though maybe not 'sentient' does bond to a like Heart to what its purpose is and is essentially tied to that person magically, maybe spiritually. Therefore, no one can just totally remove the weapon from the wielder and he or she can look as though they are unarmed but pull it out whenever. This alone makes it a special bonus compared to a gunblade or something else which you can't conceal too well on your person. I would say that the Keyblade may not be the 'only' weapon that destroys Heartless because certainly the Nobodies being tied directly with Darkness could and did do so. However, I think that even if others without the Keyblade wielder there, do kill Heartless, that malevolent energy may just later reform into another Heartless instead of going on to the Kingdom Hearts. This is why I think Roxas and Sora were used in both 358/2 Days and KH2. If the fact of the Keyblade is that if it is in the area and 'others' kill Heartless as well, those go on to where they should go too. When Roxas ran off, it seemed as though the Organization had to use Sora to do their bidding because though they could defeat Heartless, perhaps they just were not going to the destination they wanted. Otherwise, truly there was no real point in the Organization needing either of the two or the Keyblades. Also, I did find out that if I hit a Shadow around 90 some times (no joke, I wasted time trying to take out one to see if it was possible at all) with the stick sword that it did work to kill one. However, since no one without a Keyblade (other than Riku with Soul Eater...which I think was a Keyblade in dormancy) killed a Heartless without a Keyblade being present, I do think that Sora, because he is a Keyblade wielder intentionally, he could possibly kill them with another weapon but it'd take considerable time. Even the security system in RG did not 'kill' Heartless. It just held them at bay. The Heartless also seek the Keyblade out, which is why even at places like RG with the security system, they would come out to get Sora. It is a Light weapon that is possibly tied in with Kingdom Hearts somehow directly and so they want it because Kingdom Hearts would be the ultimate Heart to devour. That's my take on it and I'd say it's a lot better of a weapon versus Heartless than a Gunblade would be. However, versus things not made of Darkness, there probably is not going to be that much difference between the two. Keyblades are most powerful when used against foes with Darkness in their Hearts, Heartless and beings composed of Darkness. Otherwise, it would just be like a sword, so a Gunblade in other circumstances may actually do more damage.
