A couple of doubts...

[Cryxok]

Hello everyone, as any of you i'm a big fan of the series, however, i haven't played BBS nor read many secret reports, so i have a couple of doubts, i know KH is full of unanswered questions, but i'd like to know if there is an answer to any of these, so here they are:

1. why is that Terra's Armor let Terranort live? i've seen it defeating him, but after that, Terranort is free to go and fight Aqua, is there a reason for that?

2. Is of my understanding that Xemnas has no memory from MX nor Terra, however, when Roxas falls asleep after his first mission in Agrabah (Day 26) Xemnas says something like: "So, sleep has taken you again" what could he mean by "again"?

3. Outside of the story, If BBS v.2 comes for PS Vita, how will it be, i mean, will it have a graphical evolution? cuz, having that kind of a evolution just before KH3 seems weird to me, but is also weird to release a kingdom hearts, with the same PS2 graphics on that kind of machine, it will be a dissapointment for many gamers, so what do you think?

4. And, why is the organization called XIII if it only had 13 members for one or 3 weeks (depending on how do you see Xion)?, for this i believe there were more nobodies before the current members, at least before the numbers IX-XIII joined, maybe the Unknown from BBS was part of it, what do you think about this? is it possible for us to see more nobodies?

I'd like to hear your opinions, also, since english is not my first language, tell me if i made a mistake or wasn't clear enough somewhere :redface:

1. Aqua's destruction of the imperfect X-blade cuts off the fight and blows Terranort away.

2. Xemnas has scattered memories of who he was. But being the fusion dance of two diametrically opposed people is hardly healthy for one's sanity and mental acuity.

3. Hopefully. I mean I don't want to play a Vita game that could be played on the PSP.

4. It sounded cool. Xemnas is good at planning who the leadership will be. And Xion is number i (imainary)

@3. Other than the BBSFM secret ending, we don't know anything about BbSv2.

@4. Xemnas never considered Xion a member, since she...

Spoiler Show

Xion is a puppet made to replicate Sora's Keyblade Wielding abilities; she's not a real Nobody.

I'd like to hear your opinions, also, since english is not my first language, tell me if i made a mistake or wasn't clear enough somewhere :redface:

for 1:
The fight was interrupted by Aqua, Mickey and Ventus destroying the x-blade, and it is also possible that the Lingering Sentiment did not have enough power to actually take back Terra's body.

for 2: Xemnas is rumored to have some memories of both Terra and Xehanort and that he's gaining steadily more by his visits to the chamber of repose in Radiant Garden. That quote is a straightforward reference to BBS and possibly Roxas as well as he also slept some of the first seven days after he was born.
The BBS-reference dates back to when Terra accidentally caused Ventus to fall into a coma and since Roxas looks like Ven's identical twin and Xemnas may have some Terra-memories it might have been a memory-flash from Xemnas.
Another possibility could also be it stemming from Master Xehanort's memories, as when MX broke Ven's heart in the process of creating Vanitas when he was still a child Ventus also fell into a coma due to the great damage to his heart.

First of all thanks for your answers, i already knew Xion was not a true member, but even so, they only lasted 3-4 weeks cuz on day 26 is when Roxas first heard that someone at CO was terminated, so my doubt remains, i think is too little time to take that number of members into consideration :/ thanks anyway, and about the third question, it was more like, "what do you think will happen?", i know we don't have much info on BBS v.2 yet, oh, almost forgot, about the Roxas-sleep thing, do you think it could have some importance to DDD?

 

[Sephiroth0812]

Well, Roxas essentially doesn't exist in the "waking" world anymore and according to the secret ending of BBS "Blank Points" and the ending of Re: Coded he is one of the beings connected to Sora who need to be saved.

The actual "saving" of everyone is said to take place in KH III but more information can surely be provided in DDD.
If it is particularly to that "coma"-reference we'll see, but Roxas clearly has a chance to appear somehow in DDD.

Actually, I just thought about that one for a while and I thought that something could happen. That is, that BBSv2 could be released for both PSP and PSVita, the same way Lord of Apocalypse is having a PSP/PSV release.
In this case, the PSP would still get the game, but the Vita version would be the PSP version but with some minor graphical improvements (such as better anti-aliasing, higher resolution textures...). It wouldn't force players to buy a Vita to just play the game.

I would much prefer them doing that if BbS Vol. 2 even exists at all.

 

[Mister E]

I'll pitch in a few answers:

(2. Xemnas has memories of Terra's for almost definite; he adresses Aqua's Keyblade Armour in the Chamber of Sleep as "friend", so it's not hard to come to the conclusion that he may have some of MX's memories too. He presumably cannot remember the context of these memories, or whose they truly are.

(3. Noone knows anything about BBS V2 unfortunately, other than it's a thing. It might be a different name for DDD, it might be its own game, it might be something totally different. If it IS a new game though, and it is for PSV, I'd expect it to look similar to how KH3 may look.

(4. Xemnas did not consider her a true member due to her nature, and didn't designate her a true number other than i. It's completely plausible that there are other humanoid Nobodies, but I dunno if we'll see any more in any titles henceforth; KH2 and Days were their limelight.

I don't know. Birth By Sleep was one of the PSP's heavy hitters, and its announcement will certainly generate additional sales for the Vita, much like KHDDD is going to generate tons of 3DS sales.

I really don't see that happening, at least not in NA. I mean, we think that one of the problems SE is debating for Eng. Localization is whether or not to put Type-0 on the PSP because of how it's pretty much dead in NA. So if SE won't put one of its most promising FF titles on the PSP, then I seriously doubt that they'd put BBS Vol.2 on the PSP, at least not in the States.
