Ah, my bad! I messed up with the younger version of Xehanort.. I guess my mind was on DDD, lol.
Heh, 2 weeks to go!
Finally finished Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix, and watched Blank Points, as well as the Secret Episode (that interlinks with DDD's secret ending...).
Well, now I can understand at full (specially thanks to you, Seph) how the Ventus-Vanitas did occur for that short amount of time, as well as Terra fighting back on several tentatives to regain control of his heart. Still, I want to understand how on hell Eraqus does still exist, after being erased by Terra.
Also, I've had the confrontation with tha Vanitas Remnant using Ventus. WHAT AN INSANE FIGHT. Superglide allowed me to win this fight, but let me say this: Sephiroth would end up MASSSACRED by Vanitas if he's at full power.
Hmm... Advent Children, another thing I wanted to watch.
Can you tell me where to find the Complete version ISO?

I saw Advent Children and it was fine.. just I didn't get the story until I looked up on YouTube.com of the full story.
I'm not sure, but if you can, you can see it on Hulu.com.
Nope, sorry, I got the BluRay, so I didn't need to look for one.
On a side note though just to give you a small hint towards Sephiroths power (I rewatched the movie last evening):
I won't spoil the whole fight, but remember how in FF VII Cloud finished Sephiroth off with Omnislash in their final mental battle?
Yeah, in Advent Children Complete he tries that again...but Sephiroth blocks Omnislash, every single strike, with one hand.
I guess you saw the original Advent Children then (the DVD/cinema-version). The Complete version (aka Director's cut) is 25 minutes longer with over 1000 revised scenes, more background on certain characters, an extended final battle with Sephiroth and, in contrast to the original, actual blood.
Yes, I did see the original, but I didn't know of the new update version of it..
(Sephrioth, are you willing to check my Prologue story for me? I hope you can understand my writing..)
I also only came to know about it due to my PS3 being able to play BluRays, as the Complete Version of the movie is only available on BluRay, nowhere else.
(Sure thing, don't expect it still today though, I have barely 45 minutes left till I need to greet my mattress, lol).
Ah, okay.. I'll have to check it out, lol.
(all right, thank you! I'll PM you and mind the forum messing it, so just read it as you would on a book format, if you will.)
Hey Sephi01812, sry real life has me very busy. I like what you have been doing the past few chapters, and for the metals shards, do I sense X(Chi)-Blade pieces. I also like how you are giving Terra a huge role as well. Many people think that Terra is unsavable at this point and I disagree. If Xehanort could plan everything in 20 years and time and always be 5 steps ahead af everyone, including the powerful Yen Sid. I think they can find a way to save Terra. Sry about the ramble, anywho, your story is saying Terra is still in service and kicking butt. I also find Vanitas trying to steal Riku's Darkness to strengthened himself is quite interesting. Like the Roxas/Ven part of the recent chapter, gotta love all the fluffiness. well this review is a tad too long so I will see you later. cant wait for next chapter. I may not been reviewing faithfully but i have always been keeping an eye on this story.
Depending on where you live it can be hard to find. I had to order it from the retailer because it wasn't directly available.
(No issue, although I have to apologize that I didn't manage to do anything about it yet as well as the explanation about fight scenes in the VM since I wasn't at home the whole weekend due to family business and this week we have a new project which requires me to use my full capacity at work.)
Hey, nice to see you around again regardless. I know something about being busy in RL as well, lol, especially the last weekend and this current week.
Glad the recent chapters were likeable. ^__^
There are quite some hints towards that, also with my continuous stressing of these shards being important, huh? Well, I can't yet confirm anything and it'll be a while until it is firmly addressed in-story, so I won't go further into this topic right now.
If they are χ-blade shards though, I'd say you probably should think about why they exist and how one of them came to be situated in the stone quarry of the main island from Destiny Islands where Rudol found it.
Heh, Terra is one of the Major 13, the thirteen most important characters of the story (not counting main villains like Xehanort, the first (still unknown) main antagonist or Maleficent).
Him being unsavable would make a big part of the secret ending Blank Points or the regular ending of Coded pointless, not to mention Nomura constantly playing the "Xehanort/Terra/Eraqus"-mess up as an important mystery to solve.
One of the main focal points in Kingdom Hearts III besides the final battle is saving those seven people who called out to Sora in Blank Points, a plot point that has been reinforced by Coded's Ending and several instances in Dream Drop Distance.
People still denying that or insisting that one or the other out of this group shouldn't be saved for whatever shallow reason should finally get over their preconceived views and acknowledge the facts that have been hinted since Birth by Sleep.
It's almost the same as with the issue of growing hearts that was hinted throughout the whole series and is still denied by some people who are either just stubborn or unable to adjust their headcanon.
As for the idea of Vanitas abusing and absorbing Riku's darkness to heal his own heart, that idea came to me when I realized that if the destruction of the χ-blade nearly destroyed Ven's heart, Vanitas' must be in the same situation since their fusion also wasn't complete.
All that fluffiness between Ven and Roxas does not only serve to eventually develop their relationship into something truly akin to close friends/brothers and show the contrast between how Ventus and Vanitas each deal with their crippled hearts, it has also another story reason I can't yet reveal.
Don't say it's too long, buddy, I like somewhat more detailed reviews. ^__^
Hm, I live in a good place that regularly restock all old and new home media and games, so I'm good.
(Ah, so that's what happened to you. xD I was wondering where was my VM and PM.. xD Just take your time getting the answers written up. )
Well, as I'm trying to finishing the Ventus-side work of the game (I have only No Heart left to beat), the only thing I can do is wait for the Sunday to come and Chapter 36 to be posted.
Nonetheless, your PoV now coinnncided with one in DDD: the Seven Lights.
So, is there a minimal chance that Roxas, Lea (the only one of those lights who was saved (or, to put it better, SAVED HIMSELF) by Sora), Xion, Namine, Ventus, Terra, Aqua and Namine are the ACTUAL Seven Lights? This question is only DDD-side, has no effect on your fanfic, Seph.
As for your timeline, it's too early for me to know how things will roll out as it is still at its beginning. For what I know, you can be pretty well over Chapter 60 while we wait for the 36th.
OOOOOOOOOOOH, YOU SMARTA$S! ANSEM THE SEEKER? HOW IN THE WORLDS?
Oh, and Emyd... Well, I know it was either Emyd or Dyme... But I think that Dyme is somewhat better... Sounds more like his personallity. (Also, Emyd sounds so arab...)
Fortress of Ruin. Interesting name. But still, sounds to me like only the referrence for the place Xehanort is in.
Also, it is interesting to see that Xehanort is boiling up quite the huge jigsaw. For now, seems that everything is REALLY playing in his favor, even things that didn't depend on him.
Also, I think we are about to see how Leon will get out of that cybermess in Radiant Garden...
Nonetheless, a great chapter, Seph.
So, this is the new update, eh?
Seems Xehanort has everything lined up just for him to take it in.
I think coming up next is back to Leon, right?
I'm so ready for the next chapter, lol. :3
Hehehe, yeah, I'm making good on the Secret Ending of Re: Coded without actually resorting to time-travel shenanigans. As you noticed probably even Xehanort himself comments how outside the norm the circumstances are and he explicitly points out that Ansem is "reborn" and exists "anew". How that's possible will be for later to reveal, but I can already say that beside Xehanort himself, Terra, Eraqus and Even also play a role.
If you pronounce the "my" in the name like the actual my and the first E like eye I don't think it sounds soo arab anymore, lol.
Dyme is too close to "Demyx" for my tastes, the letters aren't juggled enough in that variant.
The place where Xehanort and his cronies reside right now, despite not being named in-story yet, does have a different name though, that place is called the Citadel of Madness.
The name "Fortress of Ruin" for the whole world refers to first its actual shape (in ruin) and second the fact that it is incredibly hard to reach (the whole world is a fortress in itself).
Needless to say though that this name isn't the true name of the world, as it only got this name after the calamity that befell it Xehanort spoke about with Rudol.
That Xehanort even elaborated on this has also another meaning, it wasn't just to dump info for the reader. The reason why he suddenly decided to share that knowledge with Rudol he spent years to accumulate, the reason he decided to make it his new base despite the unfriendly climate and the difficulty to leave that world lies deeper in Xehanort's own motivations and, surprise, also has something to do with the Mysterious Figure from BBS.
Indeed, I mentioned in answers to earlier chapters already that right now Xehanort is several steps ahead of every other involved faction, but this chapter really hammered it home.
I took also measures to point out that Xehanort didn't plan everything by himself, but that the things he didn't plan go into his favor in most cases because he is clever enough to predict how certain characters behave and act and can take benefits from their performances in different ways.
Even if some best case scenarios do not happen, he has made precautions for other outcomes and can adapt accordingly.
In this chapter Xehanort also speaks to Ansem about "unwitting scouts" and some chapters earlier Naminé told Kairi about heart connections being "like a network" and also being able to be misused and becoming dangerous. Add on top of this Xehanort knowing exactly what's up with Vanitas right now and you get some pretty hints for further development.
It will be still quite some time until we get back to Leon or Beatrix, Fran, Balthier or Aerith, although the next chapters will return to Radiant Garden as location.
Thanks. ^__^
Seems like it. ;P
Yep, and it's half his own planning and half him anticipating other people's actions. Right now everything is so well lined up for him that even Xehanort himself is mildly surprised that everything goes this smoothly.
Radiant Garden yes, Leon and the FF-gang no.
The focus next chapter will be on Ienzo and that black-coat dude who first appeared with Braig and Isa in chapter 8.
This chapter will however also first introduce the fourth "neutral" party in the whole conflict. They use callsigns among each other for secrecy reasons, but clever people will probably recognize who they are nonetheless. If not in this, then in one of the following chapters.
Next Weekend, next chapter.
