<!-- The Final World is a type of limbo realm that awaits all who lose both body and heart, but still retain their will and a powerful attachment to the realm of the living—hence its name of "Final World", as it is the last world most who visit it will ever see. For those who still manage to hold onto their heart and body despite appearing in the Final World, it is still possible for them to return to the land of the living. For Sora, he needed to collect one hundred and eleven broken pieces of his body, while for [[Chirithy]], it was the promise of a reunion with his Keyblade wielder, [[Ventus]]. All others eventually lose their appearance and identity and take the shape of a star, their minds being put at ease while simultaneously retaining the parts of their memories that long for their old lives.
According to Chirithy, The Final World is the edge of reality just before a [[heart]] ceases to exist, and so is nested closely to the [[Station of Awakening]] and the realm of sleep. Those who dream and/or visit the Station have a chance to catch a glimpse of The Final World, as Sora does when he begins his journey.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''''', '''Chirithy:''' "The edges of sleep and death touch, and one can't help the occasional crossover."</ref> More generally, the Final World is inhabited by faded remnants of hearts, usually of people with attachments so strong that they cannot pass on.


Sora first arrives at {{nihongo|'''The Final World'''|終わりの世界|Owari no Sekai}}, an expansive sea and sky that seems to reach out into infinity. Deeper into the realm lies a labyrinth that consists of a multitude of crystalline cubes and pillars, suspended in the sky of what appears to be a {{w|wraparound (video games)|Euclidean 3-torus}}, such that falling off the structure results in falling down to the structure. It is possible to rotate the structure by striking the glowing cubes. After recompleting his heart and saving his friends, two [[Portal]]s appear in the Final World: one to return to the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], and another for Sora to access the labyrinth and recomplete himself once more.

After recompleting himself, Sora chases [[Riku]]'s heart and the [[Lich]] holding it into a facsimile of the {{nihongo|'''Realm of the Gods'''|天界|Tenkai|lit. "The Heavens"}} at [[Olympus]]. He begins at the {{Nihongo|'''{{a|Courtyard}}'''|前庭|Zentei|lit. "Front Garden"}} and follows the Lich through the {{Nihongo|'''{{a|Corridors}}'''|回廊|Kaisō}}, with a [[Corridor of Darkness]] at the end. The corridor leads Sora to the {{Nihongo|'''{{a|Apex}}'''|天の頂|Ten no Itadaki|lit. "Heavenly Summit"}}, where he must defeat the Lich to free Riku's heart. After doing so, the Lich flees via another Corridor of Darkness, which leads to a Dive to the Heart containing Stations depicting the worlds Sora has visited. These Stations are awash with darkness, and diving into each Station teleports Sora into a facsimile of an area from its corresponding world. Sora can enter the Stations in any order. Defeating the Lich in each area liberates its respective Station of darkness and allows Sora to exit the area via another Corridor of Darkness. Subsequent dives see the Station off to the side, unable to be visited. The facsimiles and Guardians trapped there are as follows:
* [[Ventus]] is at the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Main Floor: 1F}}'''|ホール:1F|Hōru: 1F|lit. "Hall: 1F"}} of {{nihongo|'''Galaxy Toys'''|ギャラクシートイズ|Gyarakushī Toizu}} at the [[Toy Box]].
* [[Mickey]] is at the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Marsh}}'''|沼|Numa}} at the [[Kingdom of Corona]].
* [[Donald]] is at the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Lobby & Offices}}'''|ロビー&オフィス|Robī & Ofisu}} at [[Monstropolis]]. His spirit even appears in his Monstropolis form.
* [[Goofy]] is at the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Middle Tier}}'''|中層|Chūsō|lit. "Middle Layer"}} at [[Arendelle]].
* [[Aqua]] is on the deck of a [[Heartless Ship]] at the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Northern Waters}}'''|北海域|Hokkaiiki|lit. "Northern Ocean Region"}} of [[the Caribbean]].
After the Lich's sixth defeat, Sora has to dive into the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Central District}}'''|中央エリア|Chūō Eria|lit. "Central Area"}} of [[San Fransokyo]] to finish it off and rescue [[Lea]] before finally returning to the [[Keyblade Graveyard]].

===''Kingdom Hearts Dark Road''===
===''Kingdom Hearts''===
[[Heimdall]], [[Helgi]], [[Sigrun]], and [[Hoder]] end up in the Final World as hearts after being defeated by [[Maleficent]]'s dragon form. Thanks to [[Hades]]'s power, their spirits were able to communicate with [[Xehanort]] and [[Eraqus]] in the [[Underworld]].

Whenever [[Sora]] performs a [[Dive to the Heart]], he unknowingly passes into the edges of the Final World. Chirithy observes him during these events, but does not interfere due to the fact that Sora does not do this voluntarily. <!--source for this??-->

[[File:I'll Wait 01 KHIII.png|thumb|left|Sora meets Chirithy in The Final World.]]
When [[Sora]] began his Dive to The Heart, he unknowingly passed into the edges of The Final World, where he fought a semi-tranparent [[Darkside]].
When Sora begins his Dive to the Heart, he unknowingly passes into the edges of The Final World, where he fights a semi-transparent [[Darkside]].
 
After Sora and his friends are defeated by [[Terra-Xehanort]] and consumed by a [[Demon Tide]], he ends up in a featureless plane. Soon after, he meets [[Ventus]]'s [[Chirithy]], who is shocked that he retains a faint physical form. Chirithy explains that this is a sort of limbo for those who have not been fully claimed by death, but since Sora and his friends tethered to the [[Realm of Light]], Sora can return to life by collecting the pieces of his body scattered throughout The Final World.
 
[[File:Sora Talks to Nameless Star KHIII.png|thumb|Sora talks to a Nameless Star about the person she is waiting for.]]
While reforming his body, Sora encounters a multitude of stars, the remnants of those whose bodies have faded away but whose bonds with the living have kept some part of them there, waiting for their loved ones to join them. Sora encounters [[Naminé]]'s star, having been slain alongside Kairi. She explains that Kairi is the one keeping Sora and the rest of their friends tethered to the Realm of Light, and that she will make contact with [[Terra]] via the [[Lingering Will]]. Sora promises to save her and finally thank her in person, while she promises to send the [[Lingering Will]] to help when Sora is sent back given a second chance to survive his previous battle. A [[Nameless Star]] tells Sora that she is waiting for someone who has been changed beyond recognition and no longer remembers her, but would miss her if they were restored. Sora offers to help the star, and she whispers her loved one's name to him.
 
After restoring his body, Sora asks the Chirithy why it is there and it explains to him they are waiting for their [[Keyblade wielder]], but does not inform Sora that this is Ventus. When Sora asks how to save his friends, the Chirithy alludes to the [[power of waking]], and instructs him to look for the [[light]] in the [[darkness]].
 
Sora then begins a Dive to the Heart in an effort to save his friends. Although he appears to find himself in other worlds - [[Olympus]], [[Toy Box]], [[Kingdom of Corona]], [[Monstropolis]], [[Arendelle]], [[The Caribbean]], and [[San Fransokyo]] - his friends take the form of ephemeral images in the same way that Sora did, indicating that the search takes place in The Final World. He repeatedly fights the [[Lich]] in order to save his friends' hearts, successfully bringing back [[Donald]], [[Goofy]], [[Riku]], [[Lea]], [[Aqua]], Ventus, and [[Mickey]]. San Fransokyo is the last world he appears to visit, where [[Young Xehanort]] attempts to warn him of the dangers of using the power of waking recklessly. After Xehanort departs, [[Chip and Dale]] call Sora on the [[Gummiphone]], revealing that a new path to the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] has been found. Sora then departs the Final World, finding [[Kairi]] along the way.


After defeating [[Master Xehanort]], Sora returns to The Final World in order to save Kairi after Xehanort crystallized her. Chirithy meets him once again, and Sora explains the situation. Chirithy attempts to warn Sora of the dire consequences of going through with this, as he had misused the Power of Waking too many times already. However, Sora is unfazed and willing to go through with it anyway.
After Sora and his friends were defeated by [[Terra-Xehanort]] and consumed by a [[Demon Tide]], he ends up in a featureless plane. After wandering for a while he is suddenly met by [[Ventus's Chirithy]], who is shocked that he retains a faint physical form. It explains that this is the afterlife, but that something is keeping Sora and his friends tethered to the Realm of Light, and that Sora can return to life by collecting the pieces of his body scattered throughout The Final World. He collects the first set in this featureless plane, and is then transported to a floating labyrinth where he collects the rest.


[[File:Sora and Yozora 04 KHIIIRM.png|thumb|left|Sora encounters Yozora within The Final World.]]
While reforming his body, Sora encounters a multitude of [[Nameless Star]]s, the remnants of those whose bodies have faded away but whose bonds with the living have kept some part of them there, waiting for their loved ones to join them. One of these is [[Naminé]]'s, having been slain alongside Kairi. She explains that Kairi is the one keeping Sora, and thus the rest of their friends, tethered to the Realm of Light, and also that she has made contact with [[Terra]] via the [[Lingering Will]]. Sora promises to save her and finally thank her in person, while she promises to send the Lingering Will to help when Sora is sent back given a second chance to survive his previous battle. A second star tells Sora they are waiting for someone who has been changed beyond recognition and no longer remembers them, but would miss them if they were restored. Sora offers to help the star, and it whispers its loved one's name to him. After restoring his body, Sora asks the Chirithy why it is there and it explains to him they are waiting for their Keyblade wielder, but does not inform Sora that this is Ventus. When Sora asks how to save his friends, the Chirithy alludes to the [[power of waking]], and instructs him to look for the light in the darkness.
After rescuing Kairi, Sora brings her to The Final World to meet Chirithy. Sora offers to bring Chirithy to [[Ventus]], and they all depart together.


One year later, while Kairi is asleep in [[Ansem the Wise]]'s lab, she dreams of The Final World.
{{sec-stub}}<!--Lich, etc.-->
 
Sora awakens in a nighttime version where he meets [[Yozora]], who explains that he was tasked to save Sora. However, Yozora transports the pair to [[Quadratum]] where they fight. After Sora wins the fight, he will return to the daytime version of The Final World.

===''Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory''===
[[File:To the Other Side 01 KHMOM.png|thumb|right|The Fairy Godmother produces a portal to Quadratum.]]
Following Sora's disappearance, Kairi ends up in a replica of The Final World after searching through her memories. Recalling how [[Terra-Xehanort]] had sent her away from Radiant Garden, she encounters her own heart shattering in to pieces and chases its fragments. Though she is able to obtain almost all of them, she is accosted by a vision of Master Xehanort. After he confesses his role in drastically altering the course of her fate and dooming Sora, he promptly battles Kairi and nearly incapacitates her before Sora controls her body, defeating Xehanort and freeing the final fragment of Kairi's heart. Weakened, Xehanort tells Kairi that Sora is in a world beyond reality before disappearing.
 
In the real world, after Kairi reveals Xehanort's message to [[Ansem the Wise]], the [[Fairy Godmother]] takes her and Riku to The Final World, revealing that both of them are two keys needed to find Sora with the third being the Nameless Star. When Riku recounts his dream, the Nameless Star recognizes the city he described as [[Quadratum]], a world beyond reality. As the Nameless Star is a resident of Quadratum, she acts as a gate between reality and fiction. Though Riku is able to travel, Kairi chooses to stay behind to train further.
