    I'm not sure whether to believe it or not. The French Intelligence has been known to lie as much as the CIA. Also, I'm curious how the French know that a CIA agent met with him two months prior. The hospital is also denying he was there so I don't know. If Bin Laden was so sick though, it makes me wonder why he hasn't been found. One would think that medicines could be traced and a dialysis machine...yeah. Especially in Afghanistan. Of course, the hospital stay could be true too, so I don't want to deny it's impossible. Sometimes I wish that intelligence agencies would stop being so stupid. All of them.

    I have to agree, Aerith's voice in KH2 was awful. I really did not like the sound of it. It's sad when I have to admit Mandy Moore did a better job. Also, Elizabeth's voice and Jack's voices were off at times.

    Sora's voice was a bit higher, but it didn't bug me. I thought in KH1 Riku's voice was a bit lower than it should be but still thought it was great.

    In the scene, Kairi and Sora hug. Riku opens a portal and is ready to leave. Kairi tells Sora to stop Riku and Sora goes over and in a desperate move to stop Riku, knowing that words alone may not help, he grips his arm and falls to his knees hoping that Riku will stop and listen. He was desperate to have Riku hear his words and understand that he had been looking for him for so long and that if he left it would be terribly wrong. They are teens and in the end all 3 wanted to just go home and end the wrongs done and be back where they belonged.

    Now, why did he not do the same with Kairi? Kairi was trying to 'get to' Sora and she was there. Kairi also was not missing for a year. She had been safe on Destiny Islands until recently when she was abducted. He was very happy to see her and over joyed. He didn't know what to say or do but he was not in despair as he was at the moment Riku was going to part and he found out he actually WAS Riku. The scene was intense as he discovered finally what the Nobodies had meant when they said Riku was lost to Darkness etc. He also had just found him and that had been his goal the whole time. He wanted them to go back home and for things to be set right.

    As I said before, I think the scene was over the top for people that aren't seeing the desperation of the struggle Sora went through, Riku went through etc. And Kairi herself was not against Sora stopping Riku and making him understand either. Riku had a lot of guilt and Sora's method got him to stop and see he didn't have to carry that burden anymore and he had more than made up for any wrong doings. It was a powerful move of friendship and trust to do that and believe that his friend would not scoff at him for being that 'lame'. I still see no 'yaoi' at all in what was done.

    Another thing I'll point out is that at times, both boys acted like they didn't want people all 'up on them'. Sora was not so that way as much as Riku was. I don't think Riku really liked being 'hugged' that much and when Sora was pinching Riku's cheeks etc in KH, he was like 'get off me' even though it was not said in a mean way. I don't see either as being gay and they have a brotherly love and trust for one another after having known each other since they were at least ages 4 and 5. That's a very good and long friendship and close friends act that way to each other.

    I believe that RikuxSora isn't happening and won't happen. Not just because Square won't be that risky but because you can see that Sora and Riku are -best friends-. There is nothing that seems to show to me at all anything more than that.

    People get on the silly thing where Sora grabs Riku's arm. If my best friend had been missing a year, and I'd gone to search for him because he's like a brother to me...and he's also gone out of his way to help in the background, I'm going to go stop him too. If I did not, I would not be a very good friend. There was nothing 'gay' about that scene as people go on about. Without being in the emotional duress, it's easy to laugh at and say they are 'so gay' etc. I saw nothing that was really leading to anything.

    Riku also seemed to want Kairi and Sora to get together in KH even though he was a bit jealous of it because he liked Kairi too...not Sora. He knew that Sora and Kairi liked each other more and were closer to each other than he was to Kairi. Hence the paopu fruit joke and the race deal, which Sora really gets sore about even though Riku says he was joking. That's a friend exchange and Riku was already backing off liking Kairi so Sora could go out with her. She probably chewed off Riku's ear on how great Sora was or something. You never know. You can see though that Riku may have had a thing for Kairi but by KH2 he doesn't see her as anything more than a friend.

    Sora however, cares for Kairi a lot. In CoM she is shown to be the person closest to his heart. He shares a lot with her that he won't share with others, even Riku. However, Riku was his second closest person to him. Kairi and Sora's hug, people call it one-sided, but I didn't see that. I also noted that when people were dancing etc and Sora was all *ssiiiiiiiigh* and wiping his eyes, that was because it was happy to him and also because he missed Kairi.

    So no, I do not see any SoraxRiku no matter how people keep trying to say it exists. I sometimes wonder if people have had good friends or not because the displays between Sora and Riku are nothing more than the best of friends. Of course, I really don't think the Org members were all that into 'sex' thoughts either and it'd be rather empty for them and I don't see AxelxRoxas either. I'm not against yaoi but also not a fan of it, so that's probably why. Those who want to see lesbian or gay behavior are going to. I prefer to wait till I actually see something like a kiss exchange going on to actually say...yeah, they're gay. The yaoi is funny but I don't see it as 'real'.

    I've always annoyed people with my typing, yo. Stop acting like it's something new! If you keep it up, I'll add big syllable words like ...supercala..yeah that one! So you've been warned.

    Pointless like magic in KH2. I lived without magic all through that too...any way, I do have to agree. What is the point to this? Seems like a waste of time.

    I don't see a real blood relation between anyone there but 'maybe' possibly Ven and Sora since they look similar. I really don't imagine they are related too but it's a possibility. However, none of the 3 are Sora's parents or Riku's. And Riku and Sora don't look like brothers at all. It's impossible for the 3 to be related to Sora as a parent because all 3 were present and in their teens while Sora is 4 years old and Riku is 5. Unless Square was going for some child pregnancy tale, I don't see it as happening.

    Yen Sid looks too um...strict and constrained to go on a vacation! Look at those eyes! They just speak to me in volumes as he's some guy that has never had a good vacation. Vacations to Yen Sid probably mean he gets to read in solace.

    The Horned King!!! No Horned King from Prydain! He's deadlier than all those. Also...no Chernabog!

    Out of what was listed, I chose Hades, feeling he was the most powerful there, even if he is held in place by other deities. Being a god of the underworld has to count for something.

    lol, cool. =:)

    You know, I could see Riku x Kairi as a possibility, even though slim, but I could never see Riku x Namine as a reality. Namine had no interest in Riku at all and made sure to help him after everything else and they had no real chemistry at all beyond they both were there later to help Sora and he let her live when DiZ said to 'get rid of her'. She also was 'only' interested in Sora at all and really even later, I thought she was 'nice' to Roxas but she was a lot keener on Sora in CoM. I could see Riku and Namine may as friends at best but she and he as a pair...only if she believed she'd never get with Sora and he had a loser complex. I could see Namine and Kairi having a slap fight over Sora and then the loser probably would go with Roxas because Riku has no luck. ...Having said that though that video kicked butt! It was funny. One of my new faves!

    However, Riku...doesn't wear a hula skirt! It's a uh..thingie ...ok, it's a half skirt thing. And I'll just end this because I'm tired and rambling. whee~~

    It's entirely a matter of opinion really. I can say I really don't care for Roxas and thought Riku was far more a better friend, even with considering his betrayal because of why he did it. However, I won't let it affect my judgement and on this site most people love Roxas so most people will probably automatically say Roxas is superior.

    Combat-wise, I think Sora, Riku and Roxas are actually all on par with each other except when Riku pulled out the evil Ansem card. I don't dislike Roxas but can't say I care for him that much, but still I regard that he and the other two all can kick some serious ***, including one another's if it had to be that way.

    Yeah, but he's not really been a thin old guy for the most part. He's always been either regular weight or on the chubby side, at least for 200 years by what I can tell. His clothes changed and such but anything but a couple pictures of past 'incarnations' of Santa before Coca Cola show him as being a chubmeister, though how overweight does vary.

    Out of curiosity, I googled 'learn alchemy' and came up with some sites pertaining to things. You might want to check that out if you are interested. I didn't really browse around much but at least there is something there you might find for help.

    Both covers are fake and there's also a 3rd one circulating around that is fake too which I've seen. As pointed out, the game is not even in production now and the concept art is not going to be done for a cover for a game that the teams aren't even working on at the moment.

    Also, Soushirei is right, I believe. Nomura never said there would 'not' be a KH3. He just declared these 3 games were not KH3. These 3 upcoming games are basically in between games like CoM was, covering areas of the past that were not so well explained in the other games and Coded apparently has glimpses to the future. The next game that comes out is highly likely to be called KH3.

    I believe it could happen but not for some time down the road. We have some definite candidates for potential methods, which were already listed but I suppose I'll add my two cents in too.

    I think in time as we become more acquainted with quantam physics, it may be possible with such theories as entanglement that are connected with it and it also would work for 'transporting' or 'teleporting' people. Entanglement interests me a lot and is quite fascinating.

    Antimatter is so unstable but it is a very potent power source if it could be harnessed. Perhaps that might be something, but either way it seems that we won't want to really exceed the speed of light, at least until we are cool enough to figure out what happens if something does.

    Wormholes, though really there's nothing so far proving they actually exist but through mathematics and one type of wormhole experiment that proved that type of wormhole was highly unstable, do seem to be a possible other way to work such travel out but in the end, I would not know how one point could be gotten to that had not at least been ventured to before and some kind of way would be made for one point to connect to another, unless it is 'natural'. I'm none to sure I'd want to trust something natural of a wormhole since well, no one would know where it went, first off, and second off, scientifically wormholes are still a great mystery. The method though of using wormholes doesn't escape me though as being a possibility as well though ultimately.

    So, yeah, I do believe it's possible even if right at this time we have no real means of doing so and I don't see it as happening any time soon in the next few years. It would be very fascinating though to see it happen in our life times but I can't even say I am sure it would happen before that.

    I believe Alchemy, once it dumped all the lies, temptations of saying they made elixirs (which were little more than alcohols and sugared up drinks) to heal the sick and they could turn lead into gold...helped to bring about Chemistry. Alchemists did assist in making things known of nature with experimentations and such, as the article points out. I know I have read at least of some of those things in there to have been taken from 'alchemists'. However, the religious aspect is junk, in totally my opinion here, and they weren't 'creating' anything 'magical' or 'extraordinary'. Children can create dyes, papers, powders of rocks, find 'poisonous' stones, and make wines, liquors etc with simple directions (if someone was willing to let some kid near all that). It all makes scientific logical sense. If Alchemy in the spiritual sense was so real, one would assume their potions and all would have made a lot of people long lived and such and lead to gold, well they'd have been ridiculously wealthy. People still try to play around with this and nothing has come out of it other than what was scientifically feasible in the first place and nothing will come out of it but what makes sense scientifically.

    No, my point is that a turtle of one type is going to BE a turtle of that type. You can get 1000 turtles of that breed and it will be...that same breed of turtle. The Moogles don't even look like the same breed. If you want a more accurate description, what if originally Labrador Retrievers were as they were depicted and suddenly the next time you saw them, they looked like Pugs? Both have floppy ears and tails but not much else is that similar. That is what I am pointing out. The moogles in FFTA stink because they look like a whole other breed or something and really it was a liberty that seemed lame to take.

    In the end, I suppose I will just be glad they are there in FFT and FFTA and hope they don't bleed over into the other FF games because they aren't the same and they look so bad to me. It's not like I won't play the games or something ridiculous, but just as you can think they are cool, I still think they are not. We'll just have to agree to disagree here.

    Also Way_2_the_Dawn
    TheMuffinMan is right. When Moogles have spoken, (because they have not in all games) usually they do say sentences and end in 'kupo'. They spoke in FF6, FF9 and KH games for sure. I'm trying to recall from the other games, but I know they were talking English, or whatever language the game is in, in those particular games. I know in FF7 they were just little cameos, and I for some reason cannot recall in the other games atm.
