Kingdom Hearts Re:CoM Music - Castle Oblivion

[@Aqua311]

Castle Oblivion is a place of eternal sadness. You will either relive your most painful memories or wander its halls with no memories at all, doomed to live with the pain of having forgotten everything important to you. Ventus lost his heart, Aqua lost her friends and Terra lost himself. The home they once knew is now Castle Oblivion.

[@OmegaRedFan]

The higher you go up, the more you forget about yourself.

[@tylers50505]

How’s it eternally sad if the idea of forgetting is to find a new, their is nothing to be sad about, their is bliss in ignorance. Also the castle can be a symbolic of finding, reunion, and protection. How can it be eternally sad if it’s ultimately brought back to the light and reunites long list friends in the end?

[@tylers50505]

I know see this original comment was 13 years old they may have been missing context I’m sorry.

[@Aqua311]

@@tylers50505 Eventually, they did. Yeah. At the end of Birth By Sleep, however, it seemed like those three friends had lost everything. You're right that it is easier if you don't know that you've forgotten, but it can drive you insane once you realize that there's something missing, especially if it feels important.

[@tylers50505]

@@Aqua311 yeah your right but that doesn’t last forever if you keep going you would forget that you forgot, my point is it’s not eternal sadness and ultimately castle oblivions soul purpose was to hide and protect and it’s true form wasn’t even castle oblivion you know? But that’s why I commented sorry cus your original comment was so old that at one point we didn’t have the full story and one would perceive castle oblivion like that.

Truer words were never spoken. Also the fact that I’m commenting on a 10 year old comment is very coincidental.

@@TheLegendOfNiko Well duh that was when it was revealed

[@kevinkaslana9060]

When I first learned that Castle Oblivion was the Land of Departure, I was like _So THAT's where Organization XIII got the Replica Program from._ But that begs the question: how long has Ven even been inside Castle Oblivion?

"In this place, to find is to lose and to lose is to find. That is the way of things in Castle Oblivion." ~ Marluxia I always wanted to explore this castle back in the past days. When I had 358/2 Days I thought I was going to see what it's like - this was before Re:CoM was released outside JP. Got a bit of an explore in Re:Coded. Only thing I was disappointed about in those games was that the Disney stories were near the same.

I believe the castle is supposed to be a representation of Aqua's grief over losing Ven and Terra. That's what all the doom n' gloom is. The flower motif is Marluxia's redecorating.

@UnholyRenton The Terra part that was in Xemnas wanted to be reunited with his friends, which is why he wanted the castle thoroughly searched for the Chamber of Awakening.

When i heard this today again, I realized i had forgotten it long ago and yet i feel that i now understand the theme much more than i did before... I just hope i won't forget anything important for finding that out...

[@OdaSwifteye]

I loved going back and playing this. It was funny. It was so long that I had played it last that I had forgotten most of the stuff that happened. The longer I played it the more it triggered moments of my previous experience...

[@AntiRiku]

Which is ironic. You remembered more as you progressed, whereas Sora forgot more.

I hope in future games you can freely visit Castle Oblivion and depart from there. I don't want it to be Cutscene only as in BBS or Days, but I neither want to be stuck there like I was in Chain of Memories...

i cant belive that the land of departure looks like this when Aqua closed the keyhole and it caused Sora, Roxas, and all their friends so much grief and no one can get through safely except for Aqua. I like how it takes 5 games for Sora to even figure out that he wasnt just chosen randomly.

Hmm but what I wonder is how Orginisation 13 discovered Castle Oblivion... if Xemnas knew the existence of this place since he knew it was the Land of Departure before, then he must been aware of what Aqua did to the place, meaning he knew a piece of Ventus was already in there...

I'm not going to lie to you: when I first played this game I thought Castle Oblivion was just going to be the first level. I didn't realize that it was really the game's main setting until after I fought Axel.

In kingdom hearts 3 Riku is gunna probably save Aqua and then they both go get Ven in Castle Oblivion (only an opinion)

AzureFlame Riku and Mickey do find her though, and then Master's Defender leads Sora to them and THEN he cleanses her.

This music is one of the reasons why i love KH and SquareEnix games.

the kingdom hearts chain of memories manga is so funny its worth the read, some events have been changed but the story gives the 6 organization members more depth to their characters

[@jblackrevo9]

Prediction: I think the Kingdom of hearts is something far greater then what they assume it is and it may be a place that they may soon regret. The true kingdom hearts has never been unveiled, we've only seen the darkness of the kingdom hearts of men and not the heart itself. P.S The creators said we will finally see Kingdom hearts. I'm excited!

We saw the true, OG Kingdom Hearts in BbS though. Xehanort summoned it before fighting Terra.

[@savirahye]

***** I have a feeling aqua will be the one to wake ventus up just like she promised since she's the only one that knows the layout of the castle since she created it when she locked the land of departure away

[@TurtleTime26]

ravi sahye She's probably going to lead a team of her, Sora, and Riku through the castle. She can get them there, Sora's holding Ventus's heart, and Riku has the power to wake up his heart, so all three of them need to be there.

I always wondered why Sora sealed Marluxia in that chamber after he defeated him. Clearly he faded right before Sora's eyes. Also, since most of the nobodies returned, would that mean Marluxia and the rest will too? Wouldn't it be funny if Marluxia re-formed inside of that locked chamber, stuck? XD

[@Multifridgeman]

@kokoroyer no, only riku was chosen by terra to wield a keyblade. aqua thought about choosing sora, but she had sensed that terra had already done riku. the spell she cast on kairi was to take her somewhere safe whenever she was in danger. that came into action when kairi lost her heart. aqua's spell made kairi's join ventus in sora's heart until sora released his own heart to save kairi. oh, i forgot to say spoiler-ish o.o

[@Aqua311]

@Reshiram315 Not exactly. Master Xehanort wrecked the place with darkness, but Master Eraqus told her, somewhere near the beginning of the game, what to do if that should happen. That the makers of the Land of Departure devised a "trick".

[@theheat808]

Well don't just stand there with a problem in your hand!! lmao

[@Multifridgeman]

@kokoroyer hm, now that I think about it, i was wrong in a way. -SPOILER- the dark part of ven looks like sora, and i guess the dark part of sora looks like ven. but xion was made from sora's memories of kairi. it still eludes me how kairi came to be able to weild a keyblade, let alone riku obtaining one for her.
