I can't think of anyone who used 'light' as a bad force really, but Roxas and King Triton kind of used it for obstinate reasons. It wouldn't surprise me though if someone in KH sometime in the future wouldn't do that though, which would mostly be for a self-righteous reason, even though it hurt a lot of people. That's a good question to ask.
I do agree that having the right to later in the game be able to dual-wield would be awesome, so I hope we get the chance for that. I can see the need at the beginning for Roxas to work his way up, but just being able to dual-wield later would make a lot of people's days.
Seems we have suggestions lately for the Spam Zone to get rid of clutter when it seems that is exactly where it all belongs. I've seen these things already there and don't see why they should be moved to other areas at all. Seems a waste to me.
I think it belongs in the Spam Zone since it is clutter about people describing their real lives and others can respond as they do now. The spam zone was made to be clustered so that other places aren't. I don't think it needs a special forum for it because that's mostly what the Spam Zone is for in the end; to talk about whatever is on the mind and to chit chat and play games. It is where people are able to discuss those things and I don't think the Anything Else forum needs more cluttered in itself. I see the point somewhat but just feel the area the stuff goes in now is the right place for it.
Yes, I believe Axel helped out Sora to deal with the Organization. He made it quite clear in both CoM and in KH2 that he did not like any of them really except for Roxas. Though Axel could be a cold-hearted assassin, he obviously still had a conscience of sorts and didn't like to be used or to bother using others. If he had to play by other people's rules, it seemed he was content to make them pay for it. He knew Sora's capability and that he had grown from his time at the Castle Oblivion, where those who had tried to kill him had failed, to include older members of the Org that were of the original apprentices of Ansem. By the time Axel met up with Sora, he had done enough soul searching to just say that Sora and Roxas were connected to one another and his plans of separating the two was not going to work and perhaps it was not the right thing to do. He had been cut off of the plan by Riku and then by Saix and it was just not happening. It was at this point he probably figured, being labeled a traitor and all, that it was just not going to happen his way, and at least Roxas was safe within Sora. Also, of course Sora was going there to the Castle Oblivion, and Axel also knew that Riku would be there, or anyone could have that assumption, since he and Riku had talked and such. Of course, he knew Kairi was there too, so rather than have Sora lose out too on friendship, he decided to help him. Axel really is a wild card so he's hard to figure out exactly what he's up to, and Roxas was a major reason, but once he began to relate that Sora was also of Roxas, his mind changed; especially with the knowledge he really now was labeled a traitor, whereas in CoM he was not, and just did what he was told...and perhaps a bit beyond that. Axel just seems to be one of those people who doesn't care about anything until it hits him that whatever it is happens to be special, and then he doesn't want to lose it.
Ansem the Wise - made mistakes despite being wise, angered, vengeful, yet he found his heart. Xemnas - Leader of the Nobodies, vengeful, prideful, fanatical. Xigbar - a surfer dude voice, soldier that has seen a lot of combat, amber eyes and pointed ears, mysterious past. Xaldin - a Rasta hairdo, looks like someone from Tortuga, strong, arrogant. Vexen - His eyebrows are ALIVE!!!! Freaky mad scientist with a funny voice. Worried about rank and status. Lexeaus - Silent, brooding, but intelligent despite his size that might make people assume otherwise. Zexion - a genius, brilliant, scholar, curious, likes mind games and puzzles. Also he and Lexaeus were friends. Saix - manipulator, emotion player, feeds on others' pain, berserker werewolf type. Axel - very thin, bony, fiery, Trodgor's lost son, animated, vivid, committed, wild card. Demyx - Reacts scared innately, nervous ticks, plays the sitar like an electric guitar rocker, funky 80's hair. Luxord - Seems British, a gambler, someone who likes to take chances, arrogant. Marluxia - coward who hides behind little girls, lame, Xemnas smoked crack when putting him in charge or was brilliant. Selfish, greedy, the ultimate gurry guy only second to Kuja. Larxene - a sadist, amused by the torment of others, fast, deadly, ruthless, determined. Roxas - takes friends for granted, self-centered, confused, sad, depressed, angry, seeking answers. Namine - Not as innocent as people think, stuck on Sora and then on Roxas, a simple artist with powers to reshape memories, strong when convicted and determined to help others. Hayner - rough around the edges, contemplative, likes to have fun and doesn't mind defying Seifer. Pence = smart, pudgy, amiable, good friend. Ollete - orderly, likes to do good things and be responsible, likes to have fun. Riku - intelligent, stubborn, strong will, couragious, rational most of the time, can get angry or frustrated when pushed. Compassionate and helpful. Sora - friendly, smiling, naive, stubborn, competitive, cheerful, when sad he's -really sad- but he gets over things quick. A true friend. Kairi - friendly, likes boys having competitions over her, caring, gained a willpower somewhere in KH2, devoted to Sora. Repliku (because I have to) - Riku Replica, angered, caring, manipulated but strong for it, died being duped, looked really horrible when thrown and then lying on the ground lifeless with his eyes open.
Sora was destined to win the fight and the reason he fought was more pure than Roxas's. His reason was because of his friends and defending others. Roxas was only in it for himself and didn't even realize he had friends until one died and then he was just fighting because he was jealous. He fought with a lot of rage and had Sora been even more into the battle, he'd have done better. It's not like I don't like Roxas, but he was totally fighting for all the wrong reasons against the wrong people.
Titanguy and LKX, very nicely done. Those came out really well. Let's hope the real covers look that good. =:)
I agree with all Akino said here. Xemnas is the one who gave Roxas his name and anyone in the Org pretty much had their names altered by him. The Org cloak is also an Organization thing so he either received that from Axel but more than likely, probably Xemnas was behind that too. I doubt they just can go around passing out Org cloaks to people without his approval, Nobody or not. I sincerely doubt that Roxas knew anything of Namine or Sora or of what happened at Castle Oblivion truly or else he would not have been so adamant on leaving and finding out why he had the Keyblade in the first place. He wanted answers and there was no one who would give them. Namine also knew things of Roxas but even with his memory returned he did not really recall her other than the time spent at Twilight Town, which was the fake Twilight Town. However, Roxas and Axel apparently did spend time in the real Twilight Town dealing with Heartless and such there as is to be seen in this game. This game seems to take place while Sora is at Castle Oblivion and asleep. In Reverse Rebirth, Riku actually goes to Twilight Town (well just imagery of the Castle Oblivion any way) where he encounters the Riku Replica so he's the only one who probably had any clue of what was going on with that and that the real place would be of importance.
Bush and Clinton both sucked. Both lied and Hillary is an even bigger liar. Clinton and Hillary were both involved in a scandal where people were murdered and others were imprisoned but not those two. It's called Whitewater and people should learn about it and get familiar with it. Sadly, the controversy of Bill's stupid relationships seemed more important than investigating a serious corporate issue of fraud where it led to deaths. I am very disappointed because I can see Bill might not have been as involved, but Hillary was. I suppose the 'heart ache' of her man cheating on her made people feel bad so she was never charged and is now a senator in my state and going for the presidency. Clinton also ordered a strike on civilian targets in Iraq rather than hitting military ones. He also cut our military back a lot and though it saved some money, if those places had been kept operational better, things wouldn't have been so expensive with this whole thing either. Bush should have gone to war, but waited on Iraq and dealt with Al Quaeda and the Taliban scenario. They are -still- fighting in Afghanistan and until we could actually verify what Saddam was doing, we should have stuck to one place and cleaned it up before even considering moving on. I see Bush as a good ol' boy that took things too far. I am annoyed at the cowboy politics done in the name of God etc and we are not justified anymore than those wacky zealots are over there who are willing to behead civilians because they are cowards. Bush made us look like idiots and I am glad to see that there are people in this country and Canada who are looking into producing ethanol from wood chips and other materials than just corn so that perhaps we can become less dependent on oil. Oil companies are very corrupt and it would be nice to move away from them, but that won't happen with the Bush's in power. So in the end, I wish we would have no more Bushes or Clintons running for office ever. They've both ignored clear signs that we were in for some harsher terms, had funding for their campaigns from sources they should not have, and just led this country into the crapper, despite the minimal good I've seen come from either. What we really need, in my thoughts, is to move away from the traditional old ways and thoughts and start getting some people in there with ambition. Of course, having said this, I realize the presidents are only responsible for so much and that their people on staff, the cabinet, senators etc are also responsible, whether they try to squirm out of it or not and point fingers merely at the chief. Presidents are nearly a few steps from being figureheads at the rate we are going and it's sad to think a lot of those people in power are also big business corporate sorts.
Marriages were not common at 9 years old. More like girls were married off at 13 to 16 years of age. They could be in an arranged marriage circumstance though from even birth. However, girls did have babies as young as 12 to 18 and it was not uncommon in the mostly 15-18 bracket. This has actually lessened and in some cases may be on the rise but really it is -nothing- like the older days. Also, as I mentioned formerly elsewhere, though there are some pregnancies, we are nowhere as bad as the baby boomers, which were born in families if 5 to 10 kids as a regular phenomena because of the wars. Most people for the last couple decades have had around 1 to 3 kids, in the U.S. and Europe. We've had it instilled in our brains that the 1.5 kids is the goal or something to maintaining a population without being overdramatic. China has a rule of only one child per household and having one additional child is 10,000 more the cost added onto the other care if someone's that rich to have a second. Really, once some of the older people are gone, the population will see a dramatic decrease. We live longer so there are more of us. Africans and some other '3rd world countries' have many children because they also have epidemics, strife and war and if all of those kids survive, it's a surprise. Especially in Africa, there is famine, Aids is a very serious epidemic killing off parents and kids and there are many war lords there. South Africa has its issues still too. There are quite a few suicides but it's not like people didn't die before and most suicides seem to be from older people who in the past wouldn't have lived that long any way, so really it's not cutting into the massive amount of elderly and soon to be elderly people we have. Gun shots aren't enough to make a fatal mark in population at all except when in the counts of viewing the war. Otherwise, it won't even make a dent. As for the last comments about factory waste and the world is a dump...yeah. It's turning into one. Even though there are efforts being done, it takes time to repair the damage that only took months to ruin. It's very sad. We do have over population but when the older people at 60+ currently, start fading, the overpopulation issue will be a thing of the past. As for how we clean up our messes etc, that's up to the rest of us to remember the mistakes made and to think ahead instead of just at the moment. I think most of us have learned that lesson since we have such a mess left out for us to handle.
I do think that video games like that could help students more than doing repetitious homework over and over again, or that more class subjects could move to doing things on computers in a way to make learning more enjoyable. I do realize I do a lot better when I study material myself and make it something I need than when there is an acre of books piled that I have to go through by force. We have a lot to learn but if education was made more interesting and spruced up a bit, it would be a lot easier to retain the lessons than doing hours of homework that just kills trees and us at the same time. I ironically don't mind college as much because even though we have homework a lot of it is mostly reading and then writing on what we learned and you don't have as many classes as high school. Sometimes I think that teachers forget that their classes aren't the only ones that high schoolers especially have to contend with. At least if there are other options such as fun video games, the homework wouldn't seem so bad either and kids would get through it faster. I don't expect it to replace homework in a way, but to lessen the load and let kids have some interaction because that does help. It always seems easier too, to do homework when something is communicating with you. It's why little kids learn a lot that way and won't learn a thing just reading something as we are expected to. You are right and it can be quite stressful to do all that and not see much out of it but the angle adults say which is you'll be flipping burgers for the rest of your days. It's not that motivational when staring at 50 math problems.
Namine seemed to be, as DiZ/Ansem, mentioned, less than a Nobody...so more of a Soul sort of figure. She had some emotions but they were deeper and she was more cognitive, kind of subliminal in her way. She also did some things that were just for herself, but once her willpower was made to actually do something, she stuck with it. Roxas seems, to me any way, to be connected with Sora and Ven, since I just cannot think that if he looks -exactly- like Ven with the same hair and all, that it cannot be. I think because he was formed so fast and without Sora's actual memories, as they had not totally faded before Kairi turned him back to normal, that even though he was connected to the two, he had no recollection. However, he could tell it was important that he had the Keyblade, which drove him out to investigate. Namine doesn't seem that special as far as having some ulterior purpose as of yet and her face pretty much mirrored Kairi's and she looked a lot like her, despite the being more pale and she had the blonde hair and slightly different eye color. Her eyes were very deep on purpose to show how she was more connected to her soul whereas Kairi's aren't. I so far really have no reason to believe she was anything important of significance like Roxas was because if she was, surely Xemnas would have known and she wouldn't have just been a prisoner of the Org, or trapped at the Castle Oblivion. She'd have been in the Org and off doing things as Roxas had been instead of being called 'less than a Nobody'.
Star Wars the Lego game was good! It was funny. I borrowed it because a friend loved it, and it was entertaining. But yes, I do think that games to movies is just as bad at times as movies to games. We get some good ones, but they are far and few between. I think the only game to movie series I like at all right now would be the Resident Evil movies. Of course, I probably could remember more when I'm fully awake.
I really kind of think this could be in the help with life section instead of taking another sticky spot in Intelligent Discussion. After all, we talk about a lot of things in there concerning a variety of topics. However, if it doesn't move, ah well. I do think though that the topic is not that inappropriate for a kid's site really. We've helped and discussed things with people who had suicidal friends etc and it's nice to just even have someone to tell real life problems to and get some opinions. We all go through hardships and some experiences can almost seem mirrored with some of the things others have gone through. As long as the conversations stay clean and all, I don't see anything wrong with it. Kids do know about suicide and they know about gays. Covering it up seems more taboo than talking about it, as long as it's done in the right way. Just my two cents. Of course, I'm not one to really prefer 'censoring' real life from kids as they grow up naive and get taken advantage of otherwise.
Thank you DjC. You made my day! If KH2:FM+ is coming here, hooray!!!! *dances around* Also, I could tell the later game was KH3 more than likely. Also, I was pretty sure it'd be for the PS3 because the team working on FF XIII is the same team that works on the KH games. They will begin work on KH3 (or if it's titled something else but I -think- it's KH3) in 2008. It may be done sometime in 2009. Meanwhile we have some new games to keep us entertained till then. Thank you again, DjC, that really cheered me up. I will be very annoyed if that site was bogus! =:)
Terra has more Riku's build than Sora's at all. Sora and Terra look -nothing- alike at all. The other two would be way too young to have children that are 4 and 5. I really do not see any of them being related to them and if they are, at most one may be an older brother. Terra cannot be related to Sora though. The only two I think may have some connection in that way may be Sora and Ven, but even that is a pretty big guess. I don't know why anyone thinks Terra is related to Sora and I am not seeing how Master Xehanort is related to anyone either. If some people do turn out to be related, oh well...I insert foot in mouth, but this just seems to be kind of far fetched to me. By names only I can see relations. Terra = Riku = Earth Aqua = Kairi = Water Ven = Sora = Air/Wind. I think the names are rather important, but if the 3 are actually related to the younger kids, I'm not so sure about. I am around 99.8% sure though that there is no way any of them are the kids' parents. They are all way too young for that.
You know...you are RIGHT!!! Riku was 5 probably and Sora was 4. Thanks for pointing that out. Off topic a bit, but I wish Kingdom Hearts would have done what some other Final Fantasy games had and put the kids' birthdays down, as in what months they were born. I doubt Riku is a -full year- older than Sora. That's a little impossible unless they were born on the same day. Back to the point though, I think there are some good theories we are coming up with and we change our minds as new information comes in. I like hearing people's thoughts on it, so let's not get too nasty please? Also, if someone criticizes something not so badly, it's not meant to be mean. It's just pointing out a flaw, as someone did on my post here. Theories get tested out. It's part of the process.
I really am not sure if it has any real point at all. It seems to be just something that people can do when bored and is not as good as the other two games. However, the story apparently is the only one that goes at all past KH2 and if this is the game they put Riku's stuff in, I will be somewhat annoyed. I already have to buy a portable console as it is, and two games. I have hopes that someone will do a script of the actual dialog so if it is important to the KH storyline that much, I can do that. I don't really want to spend money on a cellphone too to play it. Mine would never work. Of course, in the end, we never know if this game is actually going to be something others outside of Japan can get. They have better cell phones and the Japanese really use them a lot more than we do for games and such. I don't want to write it totally off as a bad game, though I think game play itself is going to be limited. The story info may be kind of important.
Wow, that's cool. I think I'll see on trying to make some this upcoming weekend and see how they turn out. Someone was very bored to make a recipe for this but it's too darned cute to not try and make. I can be annoying and pass them out to people and see if they get the significance and tell me to get lost.
