Editing Talk:Radiant Garden

==Second Castle==

{{unbirthtalk|text=I never understood how the second castle (maleficent's one, with the heartless emblem on each tower) appeared in this world. I mean, Maleficent used Hollow Bastion (the first castle) as a base in Kh, so the second probably didn't exist yet (even if the rest of the world was destroyed, she probably didn't built an other castle before). So, how the hell has it appeared ? Has it been built by heartless ?}}

I'm guessing she built it before she took over hollow bastion. [[User:Myself 123|'''<font color="scarlet">Myself 123</font>''']] 23:11, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

{{TNE|text=Methinks it is so. Who knows, maybe Birth By Sleep could shed some light on it. After all, at that time Hollow Bastion and Radiant Garden weren't plummeted into the darkness by Xehanort. ^_^

EDIT : Now I remember something. The ''Forteresse'' that we saw in KH1 could be very well the "castle under reconstruction" in KHII. Because from what I know (I think I saw this in the Ansem Reports, though I might be wrong) HB was heavily modified for Xehanort's project. I'm pretty sure that once the Keyhole of the world is consumed, what is left is only the remnant of the world (think Destiny Islands). The ''Forteresse'' could be the remnant of HB that Xehanort '''needed''' to preserve, in order to get along with his plan.

Again, I might be wrong.}}

== Hollow Bastion/Radiant Garden ==

I heard in KHII HB's real named is Radiant Garden is that right? Cococrash11

== Radiant Garden or The Radiant Garden? ==

Is there a point calling this "The Radiant Garden" why not just call it "Radiant Garden" instead? Cococrash11
:Because that's not its name.[[User:KrytenKoro|<small>Glorious</small>]] [[User_talk:KrytenKoro|<small>CHAOS!</small>]] 19:55, November 12, 2009 (UTC)
::Well, it ''was'' "The Radiant Garden" in KH2, but as of BBS, it's just "Radiant Garden", so we can move it back, I guess.
::Also, anyone else notice that there's an actual ''world'' beyond the town, now?[[User:KrytenKoro|<small>Glorious</small>]] [[User_talk:KrytenKoro|<small>CHAOS!</small>]] 03:00, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
{{Maggosh|text=The new logo in BbS labels it simply as "Radiant Garden". I say we rename it.}}
{{TNE|time=10:58, November 26, 2009 (UTC)|blahtext=Indeed, and obviously the search term used by 99% of people would be ''Radiant Garden'' rather than ''The Radiant Garden''. Even the translations beneath the logo (for other versions) don't make use of the article (it's ''Jardin Radieux'', for example). It's practically understood that despite the "the" not being there, the place is still referred to as ''Radiant Garden''. Even Aerith calls it ''Radiant Garden'' without the "the". Damn, I can go on and on...}}

== About Lego's edit on this... ==

{{Dornob|time=04:12, December 11, 2009 (UTC)|text=He added the Trivia that the castle that overlooks Radiant Garden vaguely resembles Castle That Never Was. It may seem a little bit looking alike, but I don't see any major likeness between the two. If I'm wrong, someone clarify.}}
{{LapisScarab|time=04:21, December 11, 2009 (UTC)|text=Yeah, it actually more closely resembles Castle Oblivion in the BbS logo, and even that is a bit too speculative to me.}}
{{JFHavoc|time=[[User:JFHavoc|JFHavoc]] 05:11, December 11, 2009 (UTC)|text=A lot of castles look alike, and I think the similarities are too vague to be good Trivia for this page. Now if the castle was modeled after The Castle that Never Was it would be a whole other story. But... it's not.}}
{{LapisScarab|time=05:30, December 11, 2009 (UTC)|text=Right, so I removed that, but another piece of trivia is bugging me a little. It says that the BbS Radiant Garden bears a strong resemblance to the Gardens in Final Fantasy VIII. Now I don't have the game, so I don't know how accurate that is, but it seems too speculative to me. Should that be removed too?}}
{{JFHavoc|time=[[User:JFHavoc|JFHavoc]] 05:32, December 11, 2009 (UTC)|text=Probably. Trivia is supposed to be mostly interesting '''facts''', not speculation. Speculation can be put in trivia, but that is mostly for theories that are '''very''' likely or widely accepted.}}

{{R&D|time=04:25, January 17, 2010 (UTC)|text=As far as we know the world could be called Disney Land or even Disney World. So these three "locations" should be on separate pages for now until something new comes up, and the trivia should stay.}}

-Furthermore, if the basis of the original discussion was that the trivia bit would need to be corrected, but it would be a spoiler, why not just remove it?

-{{Cecil|text=It was added in the Trivia section that this world looks similar too FFVII's Shinra, I don't see a resemblance, but, even if there's any, since I saw the BBS Version of Radiant Garden I ''have'' found a stronger similarity to another FF location, Balamb and Galbadia Gardens.  To explain, both are "floating" or "hovering", both have a ring below them, in the FFVIII Garden's case, these are flotation rings, in Radiant garden they might just be for style and to hold the water jets, but they look very alike, except of course that the FFVIII gardens are much more technological and are schools, RG is a castle.  And let's not forget that they are both named "Gardens".  What do you think, is it Trivia worthy?}}
-If you can back it up- Hollow Bastion and Midgar are similar, but keep in mind that Kingdom hearts was designed to have a different style, but still retain somethings. I doubt that one of the main KH original worlds would be built after a FF one, and gardens are just a good,
-beautiful bit of scenery. I have a few in my book. Tetsuya may also be having an idea similar to J.R.R Tolkien's that to much industrialism is bad, and that 's one of the things that ruined Radiant Garden's appearance.[[User:Oh,how the sea calls|Oh,how the sea calls]] 06:13, July 30, 2010 (UTC)

-{{LyingMemories|time=[[User:Lying Memories|Lying Memories]] 06:40, February 10, 2010 (UTC)|text= So, every time I add into the trivia that since Ansem the Wise isn't the ruler of Radiant Garden anymore after his "death" (subject to change since we found out he never died and is in the Realm of Darkness with Aqua), Leon can be considered the TEMPORARY ruler/leader/role model type person of Radiant Garden until a permanent one could be found. Can someone explain why that keeps getting taken down? Cuz its not speculation, cuz if it is, then all the other tidbits of info that are on articles that use words like "assuming", "considered", "if blah blah blah is applied", and whatnot need to be taken down, since they too fall into the category of speculation. Yay long questions!!}}
-{{LapisScarab|time=07:00, February 10, 2010 (UTC)|text=It ''is'' speculation, because absolutely nothing indicates that Leon is the new leader. It isn't speculation just because words like "assuming" are used (though it would be preferable if they were not), it's speculations because there is ''no confirmation for it whatsoever''.}}
-{{TNE|time=07:01, February 10, 2010 (UTC)|blahtext=No, no, a thousand times no, because it's already evident that HBRC isn't a ruling committee, but only a restoration committee. So technically, there's no ruler for HB until a new one is announced.}}
-{{LyingMemories|time=[[User:Lying Memories|Lying Memories]] 13:54, February 10, 2010 (UTC)|text= YEESH I ask a question and people jump all over me like a monkey on a pile of bananas hahaha. The only reason I said that Leon bit was because he's there protecting the people of Radiant Garden, which is what a ruler should do. So that's where I got that idea from. I never once said tho that the entire HBRC were the rulers, I'm just saying Leon is like a morale leader for all the other people. Can we AT LEAST put in there something about it being rulerless, like maybe one of the few worlds with no ruler ( others being TWTNW, End of the World, Neverland cuz no one ever said who their leader was, Peter Pan i'm guessing, and i don't know i think there are more.)? Until, God willing the game makers do this, Ansem the Wise makes it back to RG. Also I still don't understand how using "assuming" isn't speculation at times after reading what you said.}}

-Leon is a morale leader of sorts, but he's not the only one. And about HB being rulerless, it's already implied from the after-BBS section, when the apprentices banished Ansem to the Realm of Nothingness, that Xehanort would rule HB. Then after Xehanort's defeat, HB was left rulerless. If it's already implied, why make it express ?}}

-{{LapisScarab|time=14:18, February 10, 2010 (UTC)|text=Using weasel words like "assuming" and others like it do not ''automatically'' make something speculation, but it would be better if they were not used.

-== Final Fantasy VIII? ==
-So a number of you have probably already noticed this, but the name Radiant Garden seems to hint at a connection to the Gardens from FFVIII (Balamb, etc.). One of the pictures (the birth by sleep one) in particular looks like the flying Gardens from FFVIII. Any word on this and if it's more than just speculation? Considering the connection between the two games and the fact that Squall/Leon is from there, I feel like it was intentional. It'd be nice to confirm though.  jse334
-I find it funny that eight members of Org. XIII came from Radiant Garden (excluding Sora's Heartless/Nobody creation), and then there's the connection people make between RG and FFVIII. Seems like 8 is a very important number here. Of course, whether or not they intentionally used the number eight for a connection to FFVIII is beyond me.
