| Which of course, leads to another direct contradiction between DSRXIII and Barbossa's, Clayton's and Xehanort's words.}}
| | But I still don't get it. If the villains who died are not truely dead in this series, won't that mean they will return (exept for Clayton)? Even TNE pointed out that their "deaths" are plotholes, y'know.}} |
| | |
| {{TalkSephiroth0812|time=15:32, 15 September 2011 (UTC)|text=I found the main Nomura-interview in the BBS-Ultimania where he spoke of that, however, of course I can't guarantee for translation Errors:
| |
| | |
| -- Ansem the Wise says to Aqua “Everything is born from sleep.” What does this mean?
| |
| | |
| Nomura : In that scene the ones who are calling for “Sora” are the ones who have already disappeared from the world. '''But in the world of KH there is no concept of death, that for example they are just sleeping within Sora’s heart. If you can just wake them up, they’ll be able to return to the world, they would be “born from sleep”.''' That there would be a possibility of this, is what Ansem the Wise is saying. Even Aqua, who isn’t in the realm of light, would be born from sleep.
| |
| | |
| -- In that case, do the characters we see in that scene have a chance of returning?
| |
| | |
| Nomura : Yes. The data that Ansem has hidden within Sora is the secret to that revival. When Ansem had become DiZ, and studied the heart and emotions, the results he found he hid within Sora. There are a lot of people who thought that Coded was about finding those results, but that’s not true. The ending of Coded was about finding out that DiZ had done something to Sora, as Namine said, finding out about the data that Ansem hid. What that data is will be revealed in the next game. Two more games aside from KHIII are in the works.
| |
| ---
| |
| The second part is of curious interest because DDD is said to be mainly about Ansem's data, which was already more or less stated by Nomura back when the BBS Ultimania came out.
| |
| I got it from the interview archive at http://forums.khinsider.com/future-kingdom-hearts/159545-nomura-interviews-archive.html }}
| |
| | |
| Personally, I choose to interpret "in the world of KH there is no concept of death" to only apply where the Heartless or the Keyblade are concerned/involved. (Unless Nomura means "death" as "cessation of existence" here, else the Underworld, Mufasa's death, and any others I'm forgetting would make no sense.) --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 15:44, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
| |
| :I'm confused. If there is no death, then what has happened to the slain villains? I know that Lady Tremaine and her daughters would have become Heartless by now, thanks to their hearts being almost-100% darkness, but for everyone else?

| |
| | |
| ::It may be confusing now, but always remember we don't have the full picture yet. There are holes left which I begin to suspect are intentional. A "cessation of existence" may indeed not be possible as Hades apparently could summon any "dead" being he wanted. Uxie, most of the slain villains can apparently brought back if you know th exact way ''how'' and have enough power, as seen with Ursula, Maleficent or Oogie Boogie as an example. The things that we are missing is simply the explanations for that. {{User:Sephiroth0812/Autosig}}
| |
| ::Okay, GREAT. We definitely need to post that quote as a citation on the Universe page.
| |
| ::The way I'm interpreting it, it basically means that there is no complete death. Everything can be brought back, even if it was organically "dead", like the pirates or Auron. It might be in general, or just for these specific characters, but Sora can also revive the disappeared by waking them from his heart. Basically, Nomura is trying to say that in KH there is no concept of total, final death, cessation of existence, as there is in our world -- instead, its basically D&D Death, which is only mildly more irritating than a broken limb.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 19:26, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

| :Does this mean that there is someone that would have lived for millions of years in this series? I beleave that, once a person is ready to "move on", they go to an afterlife-like place similar to Aslan's Country (from the Narnia series), and return when they have to? If death does not exist, then that's the only place left to go once they "die".

| == Pre-release ==
| |
| | |
| Are we quite absolutely certain that this article should be up already? Don't we all remember the mess with Eraqus and the others before BbS was released?
| |
| | |
| I don't think we should be posting any articles on new characters until they are given a commitment to being in the release, like being in the Famitsu issues. That was our standard last time -- getting special coverage in the magazines counted as commitment, appearing in a trailer or demo did not. I'm really, really uncomfortable with us setting up whole pages for cameo characters the second we get a whiff of them, and I had thought we had all learned from that last time.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 15:31, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
| |
| :For starters, Neku is a main character. We could've done the same for Quasimodo, but we didn't. We had trouble with the supporting characters and often had to remove the page for Jaq — I, for one, have made sure this did not happen again. But with Neku? First of all, we wonder where that scan and all the other KH3D scans actually came from. <sup>'''[[User:Troisnyxetienne|<font color="#4997D0">Tambours</font>]]'''</sup><sub>'''[[User talk:Troisnyxetienne|<font color="#191970">Néant</font>]]'''</sub> '''[[User:Troisnyxetienne/Mensa|<font color="silver">Ensemble !</font>]]''' 15:40, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

| #How do we know he is a main character? Have SE made that announcement ''themselves''?
| |
| #How does that change anything? Why are we setting up half-empty pages for characters that we've only seen one cutscene of? Why are not staying faithful to our verifiability and reliability policies?
| |
| #What happened to us agreeing to keep any ''necessary'' updates on the game's own page until release, when can actually do any of this responsibly?
| |
| #What happened to us all remembering that this is '''''not a news site''''', it's an Encyclopedia?{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 15:44, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| As always, the point is this: by posting this page, we are trying to extrapolate meaning and make guesses based on ''one instant'' of a character's story. For all we know, this cutscene could be the least meaningful part of the character's plot, and yet the page is going to remain defined by our initial impressions here, like always ends up doing. Instead of us being patient and making informed decisions in how we write the page, we're grabbing at scraps. Even worse, we are relying on trailers and demos, which almost by definition are preliminary and subject to change.
| |
| | |
| Then there's just the question of, why is it so damn important to have the article published in the mainspace "NOW"? Why can't it remain as a draft in the userspace until it, I don't know, has any measure of reliability or usefulness?
| |
| | |
| I just don't get why every time we start getting info about a game, we have to go through this whole song and dance before we get made to look foolish by posting trivial or false things, when we could just ''be patient'' and wait until we can do this wisely. It's not like there's any kind of dearth for other stuff to work on in the mean time.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 15:49, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
| |
| :I bear in mind that we don't put speculation in — we simply put in what's there. A standard cameo FF character would still have a page longer than this. Like it or not, when we put the page up, it'll be a stub until someone edits it and makes it complete. If there's been any speculation on the page whatsoever, or unsourced information, please edit as you see fit. That screen should have enough translations to get it running, but I'll respect it if you don't wish for the page to be up. <sup>'''[[User:Troisnyxetienne|<font color="#4997D0">Tambours</font>]]'''</sup><sub>'''[[User talk:Troisnyxetienne|<font color="#191970">Néant</font>]]'''</sub> '''[[User:Troisnyxetienne/Mensa|<font color="silver">Ensemble !</font>]]''' 15:59, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

| :As far as I can tell, there is no explicitly unsourceable bits on the page yet. However, the concept I am referring to is how what we have may ''not'' be representative of his character as a whole, but by putting it up in this manner, the page will be built as if it ''is'' the defining trait of his character.
| |
| :I guess, what do the admins think, then?{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 16:24, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
| |
| I've no idea.

| == Recent deletion and point of order ==
| |
| | |
| This page was deleted because it turned out it was plagiarized from The Keyhole. It needs to be written from scratch, relying ''only'' on the published info, and not on other fansites or interpretations.
| |
| | |
| Also: Has anything actually confirmed that the character is named Neku in KH3D?{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 01:08, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

| |
| Neku is a character appearing in the upcoming game ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''.

| Sora encounters Neko while looking for Riku. Neku then asks Sora if he will help him in the Reaper's Game. After talking to Sora, he leaves, followed by Sora at a fast pace.

| {{KrytenKoro|The page looks perfect. The only issue I can think of is that, last time I asked, I was told we had no actual source for the character being named "Neku" within KH3D.

| |
| | |
| {{Asif|shonormal= I dunno, Chitalian. Neku expressly addresses himself with his full name, and we've typically given character articles the names the characters themselves refer to themselves by; that is why Leon's article is not called "Squall Leonhart".

| {{KrytenKoro|Mmm... the article now has a problem. I can definitely hear the "Sakuraba Neku" bit, that part is fine, but now we're relying on translations of the audio from a fansite?

| According to [http://sqex.wordpress.com/2011/09/21/kh3d-famitsu-details/ SQEXGAL's translation of the Famitsu article], Nomura hinted to Shiki, Neku's partner, appearing (or at least being referred to) at some point. --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 01:49, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
