** On the other hand, you could see it as FridgeBrilliance. Assuming that Riku was chosen by [[spoiler:Naminé (since she was behind all the manipulation in the journal)]] to safeguard the journal's contents, [[spoiler:she]] would have done it after witnessing Riku in Re:Chain of Memories vowing to fight the Darkness with everything he had, and succeeding, as well as likely having noticed him all throughout Days working to protect (and help) Sora while he slept.

*** Maybe in [[VideoGame/KingdomHearts3D 3D]] Sora will experience a HeroicBSOD at some point from the sheer shock of it all? After all, [[spoiler:Vanitas]] of all people will be showing up. If [[spoiler: he]] appears, with non-kid Sora in the same game, it's definite something bad will happen.

** Data Sora was basically a litmus test for Sora's heart. [[spoiler:Data Sora went through the castle and accepted the pain of loss, and then took on all of Data Roxas's pain without wavering]]. If Data Sora can do that, then it's clear that the real Sora can do the same.

*** As someone (not the original poster) who ''likes'' the gameplay style the other games use, I maintain they're not tedious at all. Kingdom Hearts did just fine using (mostly) the same system in all its other games, I see no reason to bog it down with a bunch of meaningless shooting and side-scrolling (and turn-based RPGs in Olympus Coliseum, which was by far the ''worst'' of the lot). I for one think it's these ''new'' gameplay styles, along with the Debug Sectors, that made this game tedious, as every time I went through the Keyhole and had to do them all I could think was "Hurry up, I want to get back to beating up monsters. The shooting was probably the most tolerable, but even it was pretty boring and just served to pad out the fights it was used for.

** Data-Sora can only reflect Sora as far as the end of Chain of Memories, because this is where the Journal ends. Logically, therefore, the same must be true of Data-Roxas. By the time Chain of Memories ends - which is in the middle of 358/2 - Roxas has his 358/2 super move, but we haven't him use his super move from II. Perhaps he acquired the latter nearer the end of 358/2, in which case it's unclear why he never used it. Or maybe he learned it at an even later point, somewhere within Sora's heart. It's even possible that he always knew the move, but never used it during 358/2 for some reason. In any case, he's using the same super move that he used during the time that the Journal covers.

* Why are the changing gameplay styles even in the game? Shouldn't Square have remember what happed with the [[ScrappyMechanic Gummi Ship]] in the first game? We have a 2-d scrolling platformer which was only scrolling to add FakeDifficulty it seems, a bland shooter with crappy controls, and tedious RPG which makes battles take ages even when you're overleveled and are coming back for a trophy! Square, why do you keep up wiith these crappy gameplay shifts? Don't you realize that the gameplay people want is the action RPG?

** I agree with the above troper. I don't understand why you would dislike the alternate play styles as they're some of my favorite parts of this game. As for what we want, speak for yourself. The same thing over and over gets boring, this brings in a nice breath of air and reduces some of the tediousness of the game.

** Pretty much. Any game that isn't 3 gets backlash simply for not being 3, [[FanDumb regardless of how good the game actually is]]

* Is this just me, or do is the Xehanort twist at the end of this game incredibly stupid? Sora killed the Heartless, he killed the Nobody. Now how the Hell does the original person come back? Subtract two halves and you get nothing, not one. Also, how can Xehanort even be a credible villain anymore considering that we've defeated him like four times already now? If Aqua could kick his ass, why should Sora have any problems these days?
** Well heart's apparently can't be destroyed. When the dark shell is destroyed they just go to limbo or something. When the body is killed and a heart is waiting for it they merge together to remake a person. If there is no heart the body just vanishes. It's more like his two halves being freed and now they can merge together again. As for the defeats think of it this way. It's not, "Come on, this guy's a wuss, we beat him so many times." It's more like, "Damn, we beat him up good four times and he still won't die!!"

* Does it bug anyone else that Xehanort is coming back when you killed [[spoiler:Terras' nobody and heartless not Xehanorts.]]
** Xehanort was piggybacking off of [[spoiler: Terra]]. Presumably the spoilered person is also coming back, but needs rescuing and isn't as urgent and/or immediately obvious of an issue as the Big Bad.
* Okay, so the point of the story, particularly the events in [[spoiler: Castle Oblivion]], was so Sora would be emotionally prepared to [[spoiler: rescue Roxas, Xion, Axel, Namine, Terra, Aqua, and Ven from their suffering]], right? But since Data-Sora's the one who actually experienced all that necessary sadness and loss, isn't the real Sora unprepared in that regard? King Mickey's letter could explain what needs to be done, but Sora's still lacking that critical firsthand experience. Or am I missing something?
** Sora needed emotional preparation to unlock the memories of those people. Considering how hurtful some of those peoples' memories are, there would likely be quite a bit of trauma there. [[spoiler: Namine]] probably didn't want to put the real Sora through all that, and so set all of this up so that Data-Sora could act as a proxy. This allows Sora and the others to access the needed info without potentially breaking his heart. Whether or not Sora will still need to understand such pain in order to bring these guys back has yet to be seen, but the pain was only explicetly stated to be needed to unlock the memories.
