- Xehanort put Terra through one hell of a gaslighting exercise. Whether it was with Maleficent or Braig, he managed to hurt Terra's self-esteem enough to make him vulnerable enough to much-wanted approval. And when it seemed like Terra and Eraqus would finally have a chance to reconcile with each other, Xehanort changes gears by antagonizing Terra as much as possible to push him over the edge. All this, just to turn Terra into a vessel of his own...! (If you're wondering, Terra's soul ended up using his armor as a makeshift body. I guess that makes Lingering Will technically a Nobody...?) - Oh, right. Their Keyblade Armors were supposed to have capes, but they caused some visual issues in the original release. So, Lingering Will just FOOMPHS the cape into existence at the end of Terra's story. - Neat that Ven has met almost everybody whose Nobodies would form Organization XIII - Dilan, Aeleus, Even, Ienzo, Lea, and Isa in Radiant Garden, Xehanort from his past, Braig in the Keyblade Graveyard, Sora in the Dive to the Heart, and...ahem, maybe others. - "Poetic excuses!" Honestly, a good counterargument against a lot of KH villains' motives. - Sora's Japanese VA really wanted a chance to play a villain. Vanitas gave him (and Haley) that chance. - It's kinda unclear what happened with the Tremaines, but the way Aqua and Cinderella arced their heads upward suggests they were merely launched back. - Yes, Kairi unwittingly gained the right to wield a Keyblade by touching Aqua's key. - Remember when Fairy Godmother told Aqua that violence isn't always the best way to handle those with darkened hearts? I'd like to believe that influenced her actions in Deep Space, and why she stood against Gantu (who was trying to do what Aqua almost attempted against the Tremaines). - Aqua kinda shares traits with all of the Destiny trio - she's a mediating gal like Kairi, a hardened warrior like Riku, and a spirited meddler like Sora. (Remember, Xehanort's plan only required Terra and Ven.) - ...Can we agree that Terra-Xehanort is probably the most terrifying version of Xehanort?

Fun Fact: BBS Volume 2 was originally slated to be ANOTHER game before 3 detailing the journey's of all the characters who travelled the Realm of Darkness. If it was going to be anything like Vol 1, there would have been 3 playable characters: Aqua, Riku and Mickey. This obviously got reworked into the demo featuring Aqua, but all three of those characters are extremely prominent in it for that reason.

A really cool detail that i think a lot of first time players maybe dont get right away is the place where Aqua leaves Ven, its Castle Oblivion (Like, Land of Departure converted to Castle Oblivion) and its SO clever because if the player played the games in order of release (or like, watched it) then you can recognize that's where all of Chain of Memories took place... So yeah, really cool when i realized for the first time...

[@calenmiras]

You might even say that Terra's fate was...Terrable. I hope you enjoy KH III Frankie!

[@blackxprice]

Birth by Sleep ~Volume 2~ (a fragmentary passage) was meant to be a full game covering all of the screen lore of the series at that point, but it would release years later as a short tech demo for KH3 bc of switching to a different engine, in which we only cover Aqua's bit in the Realm of Darkness rather than other off screen moments. Would've been nice to see the RoD and other off screen moments in the old engine.

[@guilegale8942]

One of the heartbreaking things about the secret ending is that, at least partially, Aqua isn't crying in relief. Time doesn't pass normally in the dark realm. It barely moves at all, if it does move. So when Aqua hears that the boy who, last she saw, was only *five* is now saving the world, it's only just setting in that she's been in the dark for a *decade*. Ventus is still asleep. Terra is still a prisoner. She's been lost for ten years. But she puts that aside, and does her best to put her hope in that boy she met.

[@TheNinjaMouse]

Hmm, I don't know about that. *spoilers ahead for KH 0.2 BBS A Fragmentary Passage* That game takes place before this scene and in it Aqua found out from Mickey how much time had passed and what Sora and Riku were up to. So it's more likely she was crying in relief in this scene because she learned Sora & Co. were still protecting the realm of light.

[@guilegale8942]

@@TheNinjaMouse Brother you are speaking the dark magics to one who was there when they were written. Moreover, a game made after the fact has no impact on events until you've played it. Taking KH game by game in release order, what I wrote was what you were meant to realize at the time. *IN KHBBS, this is what the ending is meant to imply.* I'm not talking about 0.2, or 3, or anything else. I'm talking about BBS and BBS alone. Keep it that way in the comments of someone who hasn't uploaded a video of 0.2, please.

[@TheNinjaMouse]

@@guilegale8942 First off, I gave a spoiler warning for 0.2, so anyone who hasn't played that game and continues reading after the warning does so at their own risk. Secondly, you are reading a lot of your own interpretation into what BBS by itself "meant to imply." When Aqua is crying, she doesn't say anything about how long she's been there and she doesn't give any indication that she is secretly distraught and is trying to put on a brave face. She is simply smiling. My interpretation when I first saw it back in 2011 was that she was moved that the boy she had encountered at Destiny Islands had gone on to protect the worlds. Obviously, I had not played 0.2 either back then, but I came to a different interpretation than you did because the scene is beautifully ambiguous. And I don't think it's wrong to use information that came from a later game to better understand it.

[@guilegale8942]

@@TheNinjaMouse A spoiler warning is less useful than just not posting spoilers. They weren't relevant to BBS, for someone going through each game by release order. And yes, I am reading quite a bit into it. Because that's what games want us to do. If you want to disagree and have your own interpretation, that's perfectly fine. I don't personally care all that much about being right or wrong when it comes to subjective art forms with nuanced meanings. That's up to the viewer to decide. But if you bring retcons or later game information into a conversation about *the game as it was on release*, the door is right there, please use it. I'm never going to talk about KH3 on someone's video about KH2, or BBS on a KH1 video. It's literally that simple.

[@xorngoh7303]

Birth By Sleep and 358/2 Days are legit the saddest entries in the franchise, where there are no happy endings for our protagonists. With friends being torn apart and subjected to tragedy all from the schemes of one old man obsessed with Darkness. These 2 games also set the premise for Kingdom Hearts 3, where you as Sora and Riku have to rescue all the past protagonists and set things right. Ultimately in the end, you will find out that even Xehanort who was pulling all the strings from the background was nothing more than a puppet or chess piece on someone else's board. The true villain that had set the entire events in motion for the entire franchise so far by feeding Xehanort information about Kingdom Hearts and Keyblade War had been hiding in plain sight all along. It is akin to Uchiha Madara from Naruto who had schemed and manipulated the entire events in the story up till the success of his plan, only to be revealed that the true villain that set Madara on this path was Black Zetsu all along.
