I'm new here, what does *ggg* stand for?
It's a short form of a grin or smirk.
Depending on the context it can have a different meaning like friendly, a tad mischievous or even similar to the "
" smilie.
I hope it does, a huge game that lasts awhile with re-playability would be nice.
We just can wait and see...and hope they finally cut some slack on FF Versus XIII.
:/ at time passing slower in RoD. Less time for Aqua to have changed/grown personality wise from such an experience.
I guessed as much for nobodies, but I must admit, I don't recall Namine having changed at all, nor Roxas (He would though be understandable as you said)
For Aqua herself it feels nonetheless like a long time though.
She got a bit taller from Re: CoM to KH 2 and Roxas in Days had also a little more "babyface" look than in KH 2 (Although that might have been the poorer graphics of the DS).
Yet still, Roxas's portrait in Days was
way younger looking, like on this wallpaper as well:
It would be interesting to have a meeting scene between them, to say the least.
Yep, with Xemnas and Ansem SoD constantly arguing which is superior: Nothingness or Darkness.
That makes sense then.
"shrug" indeed, as you said, its all personally interpretation.
Trust me, thats a good thing.
Yep, and would be probably a nailbiter for the fandom if DDD would truly
end with that.
I mean, come on, Sora and
three of the tormented ones in the enemies hands?
Yup, there is much open like that in KH.
Oh, okay...lol.
Ayup.
But, for the sake of keeping a conversation going: For Dark Keyblade Wielders he could be around the standard (If we go by the assumption that a good portion of Dark Keyblade Wielders are *evil*)
Thus far though, is a split 2/2, Xehanort/Vanitus Evil, Terra/Riku good.
Although, Terra's time as a "dark" keyblade wielder was considerably short (I'd say from when he got Dark Impulse to his final battle). Then again... his Keyblade is still a Keyblade of Light, isn't it? He used darkness to a degree but his Keyblade was from the RoL and his element was still basically earth.
And Riku... well actually, he wasn't dark when he got his Keyblade, was he? The AtW explosion at TWTNW eliminated his darkness, didn't it?
hmm....
That would truly depend on how we define "dark" keyblade wielder. By what criteria? Using your keyblade to deliberately hurt others? For that only MX and Vanitas fit.
Using dark powers?
Since dark =/= evil this could be a comparison that is very flawed.
Terra was always able to use darkness to a degree though (as seen with his Starting shotlock, which is a dark elemental one).
Terra has a natural affinity to the elements earth and darkness, it's simply in his nature, just like Ventus is naturally gifted with close affinity to wind and light powers.
Unlike MX, Vanitas and (during KH 1, Days is debatable) even Riku, Terra never used his darkness for something truly evil. Him extracting Aurora's heart was due to manipulation from Maleficent and Master Xehanort.
When he went dark against Eraqus it was desperation on his part. He wanted to protect Ven and saw no other option to withstand Eraqus's attacks and save his "baby brother" than to rely on darkness.
ALL keyblades except the Kingdom Key D, Keyblade of People's hearts and X-blade are from the Realm of Light.
The KK D is a keyblade from the Realm of Darkness (yet, there are no differences between the RoD and RoL keyblades except the realm from which they originate) while the KoPH (Keyblade of People's hearts) belongs to the third type of "heart"-keyblades.
The X-blade stands outside any category because it's the hyper-super ultimate weapon.
Riku got the Way to the Dawn before the incident with Ansem's encoder, he already had it when he attacked Saix in order to save Naminé and Kairi in the Castle that never was.
When he was fighting heartless together with Kairi he also already had it.
The explosion of the KH encoder didn't eliminate his own darkness, if that would have been the case he would have ended up like Ven four years before BBS.
It was the last influence of Ansem, Seeker of Darkness that was purged from Riku's heart then.
Alright, got me there.
I thought the changes in CoM were because Namine was messing around with his memories.
Lol, I am just very observant.
The later ones, yes, like the anger issues and obsessing over Naminé,
Before that though, during the first third of the game CoM (and practically the last third of KH 1 after Roxas was born) was just plain Sora himself.
Poor Ven, first his heart takes a hit, twice, then it gets thrown around and abused like a rag-doll.
I'd say Roxas had a PMS moment more than a breakdown. His goals and actions were clear, he was just majorly pissed off.
I know, that's also a reason I feel so much for the poor kid. Beside my somewhat virtual big brother complex. ;P
He ranks on 1st place on my favorites list together with Naminé and Sora.
Riku, Aqua, Roxas and Terra follow together on 2nd place then. lol.
Later on that is true, but when he holds Xion's disintegrating figure he has a major breakdown, so much he gains shortly full access to Ven's heart unsealing his keyblade, activating the dual wielding-ability.
After that when he has calmed a bit he gets majorly pissed off and opts for a rampage of revenge, lol.
I doubt it, as Aqua most likely has to be with Sora in order to reach Ven and she would calm him, or something to that effect. Although, if Xehanort somehow finds a workaround to that it could be interesting.
Either scenario is possible and both can lead to very interesting developments.
Hehehe. ^___^
I can't help but wonder if Ven would realistically be in any condition to do anything. Maybe he would, his body wasn't physically hurt if I recall, and if his heart has healed enough he might be able to help out.
I won't necessarily say that he's so weak he can't walk at all, but he certainly won't be at full power after being out for that long and his first action when waking up surely won't be jumping at someone's throat.
That would also not fit his kind nature at all.
As for him helping out that would depend on how long it takes for him to gain a good "foothold" again after that long time, but I would think that Aqua, Sora, Riku and Mickey are surely able to help out with that.
I just had to wrote what jumped into my mind that time.
