** Their work in Wonderland was pretty much done. The primary purpose there (as with Halloween Town and Agrabah, which likewise experienced no Organization interference in II) was to find a good place to put the devices. After that, Luxord moved on to Port Royal. It is likely that they found Wonderland too difficult for Sora to navigate and take out as much Heartless as possible, but they probably needed to put the device somewhere Sora had strong memories. They couldn't put it in Olympus Coliseum or Beast's Castle, as both had other purposes to fill. Atlantica hasn't seen Heartless since the first game, and its largely underwater nature might also make things difficult (Sora has no memories of the world that weren't underwater). Sora's memories of Neverland are all on the ship or Big Ben at that point; the ship was too risky to put the device, and they probaly hadn't figured out how to get to Big Ben at that point. Traverse Town and Monstro are probably too unreliable location-wise.

**** Remember two things: Isa says that Ven is far from the first "stray puppy" that Lea's picked up, and Lea says that he wants "everyone he meets to remember (him)." He's probably gone around making ''tons'' of friends. Again, he's not going to remember just one that he met for 5 minutes. Xigbar, meanwhile, was [[spoiler: involved in an entire scheme that revolved around Ven.]]

** That would contradict on the hidden ending of KH, as well as the prologue of KHII. But hey, my only response is that no one on the team thought of these before. They're not psychic, you know.

*Could they ''really'' not put anymore Disney bosses in this game besides Pete & the Halloween trio? This would've been the ''perfect'' time for Gaston to finally show up (the end credits of KingdomHeartsII pretty much rules out him appearing later on). Perhaps the game could've showed how Jafar's lamp ended in the peddler's hands and give us the long overdue giant snake form fight. Go ahead and give us Hook & Hades, not like the game doesn't recycle enemies enough as it is. Make the Queen of Hearts gigantic with the growth bottle, have Hook use Tinkerbell's dust to fly, have missions where we played eviler org members and fought Disney heroes, anything that's not another recolor of a large body! Heck, doesn't even necessarily have to be Disney characters, Diz would've been an awesome boss if he tried capturing Roxas himself.

**** Prove, please, or else, this is nothing but you're theory. Nothing in the game presents this, and neither do official statements. What they ''do'' show, is Xion fading away from their memories when hanging out in the clock tower once Deep Dive comes in, and it's only each other to interact with. And despite that it's a retcon that never truly existed, if we are to take Days as it is now in correlation with KH2, most of the spaces that are blank when Roxas slowly remembers his past memories shows that they were more erased out than replaced.

** It depends on [[spoiler: who's looking at her]]. When the camera perspective is 3rd person limited(Roxas) we see her the way ''he'' does, as a black-haired Kairi. When the camera perspective is 3rd person limited(anyone else), we see her the way they do, which is with the hood up. Situations where the camera focuses on the group as a whole seem to vary based on if focused on Roxas' reactions or the other guys' statements, the former fits to Roxas' perspective, the latter to others'. Its all a symptom of how [[spoiler: what you see of her depends on your personal perspective and connection; Roxas sees Kairi (and Axel eventually follows suit after hanging with Roxas long enough), most of the rest see an empty doll with no notable features, and Xigbar sees Ventus]].

* Why is it every scene with Xion switches whether her hood is on or not. I went through that 4-5 minute scene after you find her and Axel Roxas and Xion are eating ice cream and noticed it would switch to her having a hood on and her hood off every scene that showed her.

*** There's a scene near the end of the game which Xion removes her hood to show Axel that her face changed, I assumed at first that she looked like Sora, but now it could make sense that Axel saw Ven.




to:

*** One would assume that because he's so obsessed with memories as Lea AND Aexl, he'd recognize Roxas as at least being vaguely similar to Ven

*** Fair enough, but like i said, this applies to Kingdom Hearts in general, how did Roxas get up there in the intro of KH:II with Hayner and the rest, Pre-Keyblade? Also, was i the only one expecting someone to fall off it during the course of the games? For a Dream Sequence, at the very least.

** The way to access the tower was probably locked. Roxas and Co. unlocked it with their Keyblafed. Axel either jumped it or the left the gate open.

*I suppose this goes under Kingdom Hearts in general, but seeing as it's so prevalant in this one, why is it the Clock Tower in Twilight Town has no safety measures such as a railing or something similar at the top? I originally just wrote this off as Roxas and friends aren't allowed to be up there, but if they aren't, how do they get up there in the first place?

** Time, as it pertains to Luxord, seems to be purposefully limited, so the rewinding deal makes a bit of sense. Light I figured is a take on blinding you to your environment, a la Zexion in CoM. Moon refers to lunacy or insanity, i.e. babbling like a loon, which would cause unintelligibility, which would mess with spoken spells, which matches the RPG status effect of 'silence'. Space refers to space-time, which refers to gravity. The deal with water and draining is that water is commonly associated with healing, and the fact that it also damages enemies is a gameplay element.

*** Keep in mind that they made a big deal of Herc always just missing him. This [[FridgeBrilliance makes a lot of sense]] as a call back to BBS, considering how close Ven and Herc were, Herc would almost certainly have recognized him. In this vein, it can probably be assumed that Phil really doesn't remember Ven.

*** Further theorization on this theory: From the way understood it, Xion was, by the end of the game, made up almost entirely of memories - essentially memories personified. Kingdom Hearts II kind of implied that Sora's memories being messed up worked both ways, everyone had forgotten about him until a short time before he woke up. If that's true, then by returning Sora's memories, the memories that made her up were broken apart and rearranged, so all the connections she had to others disappeared, and they forgot about her, [[LogicBomb if that makes any sense.]] Meanwhile, even if you don't buy into that, there's still Xion's own memories that have to be considered - probably hidden with all the memories of Castle Oblivion in Sora's heart, just waiting to be found again, especially if the BBS secret ending is telling the truth.

** Moreover Roxas has two keyblades and no companions, he attracts Heartless like honey out in the real worlds and needs to take care of them all himself. The Kingdom Hearts would be created in no time at all.

*** He met Ven once, ten/eleven years beforehand. Why would Phil remember one kid, even if he was a friend of Herc?

to:

** Also, it takes a ''lot'' more for someone to see Ven than it does to see black-haired Kairi, for some reason. Remember, Xigbar didn't see Ven until she was reaching critical memory mass in the endgame, whereas Axel saw black-haired-Kairi almost as soon as Sora fell Asleep. Axel knew Sora as well as Ven, and since the Sora connection was so much stronger, it overrode the Ven connection.

** Because he knew Sora, and Sora's memories, better, having been much more involved in the Castle Oblivion incident than he was in Birth By Sleep.

to:

*Okay, it's made clear in-game that Xion only has a face if the beholder has had some contact with Sora in the past; which is why Axel only sees her as a black-haired Kairi after he met Sora at Castle Oblivion. However, Birth By Sleep shows that Ven's heart is currently inside Sora's; Braig had met Ven before, which is why Xigbar sees Xion as Ven briefly. Problem: Birth By Sleep also shows that Axel (as Lea) had also met Ven, so why doesn't Xion appear as Ven to him as well?

** He was still on his way when Roxas left, and had probably finished his training by the time Sora showed up. There was like a 6 day window. Phil can knock someone into shape in that time. And my money is on that trainee being Zidane...heck, Vivi is the closest we're going to get to seeing FinalFantasyIX, so why not speculate?

** As for why they're elements: well, "Flowers" makes more sense if you extend it to just "plants". Wood is one of the five eastern ClassicalElements. Time and Space are natural things that they
control, much like any other element, like Fire or Water. Illusions... is a bit of a stretch, yeah. And know that Square has [[SeikenDensetsu set a precedent]] for using Moon and Flower as elements anyway.

*** Well, the moon has no atmosphere; no air, so no sound. Alternatively, I can at least say that there's a precedent for linking the moon with silence. "[[TouhouProject Silent Selene]]", specifically.
