[[ | A hooded [[Roxas]] walks through the [[The World That Never Was|Dark City]] in the pouring rain. He stops, feet away from the base of Memory's Skyscraper. Roxas looks up at the screens; shortly after, his head shifts down as many [[Neoshadow]]s rise up from the ground and surround him. A blindfolded [[Riku]], wearing a [[Black Coat]], stands on top of Memory's Skyscraper and stares down at Roxas. Roxas draws the [[Oathkeeper]] in his left hand and [[Oblivion]] in his right. He spins the Keyblades above his head, yielding sparks, and holds them out to his sides. Riku tilts his head up to the sky and holds his arms out; the clouds above the Skyscraper part to reveal a meteor shower. A white-purple outline of the Heartless emblem surrounds Roxas. Riku takes off his blindfold and throws his head back. Roxas mouths something. | ||

"''Another side, Another story...''" was meant as more of a concept trailer, showing whatever ideas [[wikipedia:Tetsuya Nomura|Tetsuya Nomura]] had for a sequel at the time; it was not meant to be taken as an actual part of the storyline for the games. [[wikipedia:Kazushige Nojima|Kazushige Nojima]], the scenario writer, explained that, after the story for ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' was written, he had to go back and find places to put in the seemingly random quotes found in both "''Another side, Another story...''" and "''Another Side, Another Story [deep dive]''". The idea of the Keyblade wielder was affixed to Roxas, and the blindfolded male to Riku. | |||
= | "The third enemy = Nobody" implies that the [[Unversed]] and the [[Heartless]] are the First and Second Enemies; however, a flashback in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' depicts several Neoshadows and [[Darkside]]s ''before'' the appearance of the Unversed, even though the Heartless did not begin attacking the Realm of Light until ''Kingdom Hearts''. Therefore, it is unclear whether the Heartless are considered the First or Second Enemy. "A world between = A forgotten world; The gathering" is a possible reference to the [[The Gathering|secret ending of the same name]] found at the end of ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the teaser for ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''. Another quote, "Change — The third key ", may reference the change of heart Riku takes in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', with Mickey as the first key and Sora as the second key. | ||
''[ | |||
' | Except for some minor differences, such as Mickey's appearance, both ''Another side, Another story...'' and ''Another Side, Another Story [deep dive]'' were replicated for the final cutscenes of ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', as well as flashback scenes in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]''. | ||
' | [Ansem's other report] could refer to the [[Secret Ansem Reports]]. [[Axel]] says, "What took you so long, Kairi?" before taking Kairi away from The Usual Spot in [[Twilight Town]]. A [[Dusk]] says, "We have come for you, my liege," upon Roxas encountering it in the [[Simulated Twilight Town]]. Xemnas tells [[Ansem the Wise]], "You are the source of all Heartless," while the latter struggles to bring the [[Kingdom Hearts Encoder]] back under control. The Thirteenth Order is the Japanese name for [[Organization XIII]]. "We'll go together," is the last line spoken by Sora to Riku on the Dark Meridian before the Door to Light takes them back home to Destiny Islands in ''Kingdom Hearts II''. | ||
== | ==Trivia== | ||
*The countdown from XIII stops at II (2) instead of 1. This mimicks the style of old movie intro sequences. Also, 2, 7, 8, 10 and 13 are represented as II, VII, VIII, X, XIII, respectively, their Roman Numerals, while the others are shown by their numeric values. | |||
