| '''The Other Twilight Town''' is a [[datascape]] that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' and makes a brief appearance in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''. It is a digital recreation of [[Twilight Town]].
| |
|
| |
|
| The Other Twilight Town was created by [[Ansem the Wise]] in an attempt to keep [[Roxas]] contained while also throwing off [[Organization XIII]]. It is a data world similar to [[Radiant Garden]]'s [[Space Paranoids]], and can be entered by similar means. While it is a nigh-perfect recreation of the real Twilight Town, it has some glitches in the form of the [[Seven Wonders]] of Twilight Town. Ansem even recreated every resident of the town, using data samples of each person's [[heart]] in the real town. Although keeping to their usual attitudes, the residents mostly act under Ansem's influence, though he is unable to completely control them. It is described by Ansem the Wise as being constructed in [[Sora]]'s memories.{{storylink|Secret Ansem Report 12}} | | The virtual [[Twilight Town]] was a false [[Twilight Town]] created by [[DiZ]] as an attempt to keep [[Roxas]] contained while throwing off [[Organization XIII]]. It was created using the same technology he used in [[Radiant Garden]]'s [[Space Paranoids]], and he placed [[Roxas]] within it the same way one enters the latter world. It contained every nook and cranny of the real [[Twilight Town]], but had some glitches, as the Seven Wonders of [[Twilight Town]] prove. He even recreated every resident of the town, using data samples of each person's heart in the real town. Although keeping to their usual attitudes, they do act differently based on how DiZ needs them to. |

| {{main|Twilight Town}} | | {{spoiler}} |
| The Other Twilight Town appears identical to the real one, with mainly two exceptions: Mysterious Tower does not exist within the simulation, and at the Tram Common there's a candy shop, while in the real Twilight Town a Moogle Shop is located there instead.
| | [[Image:Roxas-2.jpg|thumb|100 px|[[Roxas]] in Twilight Town.]] |
| | [[Kingdom Hearts II]] opens in the virtual [[Twilight Town]], with the data incarnation of [[Roxas]]. His memories had been altered by data to make him believe that he was a normal teen-aged boy who lived in [[Twilight Town]] with his best friends [[Hayner]], [[Pence]], and [[Olette]]. As the story opens, we learn that [[Roxas]] is beginning to have strange dreams of a boy's adventures (which, as the player, we already know to be [[Sora]]'s exploits of the first [[Kingdom Hearts]]). In the digital [[Twilight Town]], summer vacation is coming to a close, and [[Roxas]] tries to have some last-minute fun before returning to school. |
|
| |
|
| ==Story==
| | Unfortunately, however, his fun is constantly being interrupted by strange white creatures, and two men in black trenchcoats. As time goes on, [[Roxas]] begins to regain his memories of the Organization, with the help of the [[Keyblade]] and [[Naminé]], a strange girl who has some interest in [[Roxas]]. |
| ===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
| |
| After Sora, [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]]'s journey through [[Castle Oblivion]], Ansem the Wise, operating under the alias "DiZ," convinces [[Naminé]] to move the trio to his lab in Twilight Town to protect them from Organization XIII, as the castle was still under their control. However, in order to restore Sora's memories completely, Ansem sends [[Riku]] to capture Sora's [[Nobody]], Roxas. Once Riku returns with an unconscious Roxas in tow, Ansem placed Roxas inside The Other Twilight Town in order to hide Roxas from the Organization until it was time for Roxas to return to Sora.

| ====Roxas's story====
| | [[Roxas]]' one-time best friend [[Axel]] was sent into the digital [[Twilight Town]], and attempted to persuade [[Roxas]] to return. When [[Roxas]] showed no signs of remembering either he or the Organization, [[Axel]] resorted to violence to bring him back "conscious or not." |
| [[File:Roxas's Room 01 KHII.png|thumb|left|200px|Roxas's room in the Virtual Twilight Town.]] | |
| To prevent Roxas from escaping, DiZ altered Roxas's memory with data to make him believe that he was a normal teenage boy who lived in Twilight Town with his best friends [[Hayner]], [[Pence]], and [[Olette]]. In spite of that, Roxas begins experiencing strange dreams of Sora's exploits during his first adventure. In the digital Twilight Town, summer vacation is coming to a close, and Roxas and his friends try to have some last-minute fun before returning to school. Unfortunately, his fun is constantly being interrupted by [[Nobodies]] and two men in [[black coat]]s. One of the cloaked men, [[Axel]], was sent into the digital Twilight Town and attempted to persuade Roxas to return to the Organization. When Roxas showed no signs of remembering either his friendship with Axel or his time with the Organization, Axel resorts to violence to bring him back. As time goes on, Roxas begins to regain his memories of the Organization, with the help of the [[Keyblade]] and Naminé, who acts as a guiding figure to Roxas.

| |
|
| Everything Roxas knew began to crumble around him, and he could only trust Naminé. On his last day in Twilight Town, Ansem freezes time inside the simulated realm and summons Roxas to the Old Mansion outside of town. When Roxas reaches the Old Mansion, he unlocks its gates using the Keyblade and enters the mysterious building. Roxas encounters Naminé once more in the mansion's White Room, and he starts to regain memories of his former life as a member of Organization XIII. Roxas is eventually able to locate the digital version of DiZ's computer, which he destroys. There, he finally regains his full memory, remembering that he was once a member of [[Organization XIII]], who had used him for his ability to wield the Keyblade, and that he had left it to find his past, only to be captured by Riku. | | Everything [[Roxas]] knew began to crumble around him, and the only thing he trusted now were the words of [[Naminé]]. On his last day in [[Twilight Town]], [[DiZ]] froze time and summoned [[Roxas]] to the [[Old Mansion]] outside of town, where he finally remembered everything - that he was once a member of an Organization of [[Nobodies]] that had used him for his power over the [[Keyblade]], and that he had left it to find his past, only to be captured by [[Riku]]. |
|
| |
|
| In the mansion's basement, he faces off against Axel once more and defeats him. Roxas enters the Pod Room in the Old Mansion, where he finds the sleeping Sora, Donald, and Goofy. Roxas decides to become one with his original self, causing Sora to awaken in the true Twilight Town's Old Mansion. | | In his rage, [[Roxas]] destroyed the digital version of [[DiZ]]'s computer, and fought with [[Axel]] one last time, before merging with [[Sora]]. [[Sora]] then awakened from his year-long sleep in the real [[Twilight Town]]. |
|
| |
|
| ====Sora's story==== | | ==[[Sora]]'s Story== |
| The virtual Twilight Town was first visited by Sora late into his fight against the Organization. He enters the virtual Twilight Town with the help of Hayner, Pence, Olette, and [[King Mickey]]. Sora enters a portal left by [[Axel]] in the virtual basement of the mansion to access [[The World That Never Was]]. | | The virtual [[Twilight Town]] wasn't visited by [[Sora]] (or even known to him) for most of the game. He enters it near the end of the game with the help of [[Hayner]], [[Pence]], and [[Olette]]. It holds the only known entrance to [[The World That Never Was]], a dark portal left by [[Axel]] after being defeated. |
|
| |
|
| ===''Kingdom Hearts III''=== | | ==Enemies== |
| After his failed [[Mark of Mastery exam]], Sora returns to Twilight Town with the intention of trying to find a way to help Roxas become his own person. With the help of Hayner, Pence, and Olette, who wish to become friends with Roxas like their counterparts in the virtual Twilight Town were, Sora examines the computer in the old mansion. Pence is able to link the computer to the [[Hollow Bastion OS]] in [[Radiant Garden]] with the help of [[Ienzo]]. [[Jiminy Cricket]] theorizes that, as a data world, the simulated Twilight Town constitutes its own datascape.
| | Although in the real [[Twilight Town]], enemies only appear in the mansion, [[Yen Sid's Tower]], and the [[Underground Concourse]], enemies appear all over at various stages in the virtual [[Twilight Town]]. |
|
| |
|
| [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] and [[Xemnas]] confront Sora outside the old mansion, claiming his efforts to use the virtual Twilight Town are futile. While Sora wants to put Roxas's heart inside the virtual Twilight Town so that he can live there, Ansem reminds him that the town is just data. | | <gallery> |

| | As well, [[Roxas]] must compete in the [[Struggle]] tournament, a "friendly" fighting competition amongst residents of the town. Enemies here include: |

|
| Using the data of Roxas that Ansem the Wise had encoded into the virtual Twilight Town, Ienzo is able to alter a blank [[replica]] and prepare it to house Roxas's heart so that Roxas can have his own [[body]] separate from Sora. After the [[real Organization XIII]] is defeated, Ienzo, [[Even]], and Ansem the Wise do this again with Naminé's data from the virtual Twilight Town, giving Naminé a replica body as well.
| | ==Mini Games== |
| | In order to progress through the story, [[Roxas]] must complete a series of mini-games. |
| | *In order to earn money to go to the beach (that [[Roxas]] never got to), the gang must earn munny from doing odd jobs that are posted around the city on bulletin boards. Better work results in more munny. |
| | *[[Roxas]] and [[Hayner]] both sign up to compete in the famous [[Struggle]] tournament. This consists of a series of simple battles amongst [[Twilight Town]] residents for a prestigious trophy and [[Champion Belt]]. |

|
| ==Differences from the real Twilight Town== | | ==Virtual or Reality== |
| There are many notable differences between the virtual and real versions of Twilight Town, which include:
| | Though not easily caught by a player on their first time through the game, there are many notable differences between the virtual and real versions of [[Twilight Town]]. These include: |
| *Yen Sid's Tower only exists in the real Twilight Town. The train to it in The Other Twilight Town leads nowhere, and is considered a ghost train. | | *The Fabled Countryside only exists in the real [[Twilight Town]]. The train to it in the virtual [[Twilight Town]] leads to nowhere, and is considered a ghost train. |
| *Hayner, Pence, and Olette have little knowledge of Roxas's existence in the real Twilight Town (though they feel that they have met Sora, Roxas's original self, even before meeting him), but they are his best friends in The Other Twilight Town. In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', Roxas and Axel briefly met Pence; later Roxas met Hayner and Olette as well, although they never reached the extent of friendship shown in The Other Twilight Town. | | *The world and battle music pieces in the virtual [[Twilight Town]] are completely different from those of the real [[Twilight Town]]. Likewise, as the [[Twilight Town]] that appears in Chain of Memories is not the real one either, it uses the same pieces as that of the virtual [[Twilight Town]]. |
| *[[Setzer]] is the Struggle champion in The Other Twilight Town. In the real Twilight Town, it is Seifer, though this could be because Seifer beat Setzer in the last competition, taking his place as champion. | | *[[Hayner]], [[Pence]], and [[Olette]] have no knowledge of [[Roxas]]' existence in the real [[Twilight Town]], but they are his best friends in the virtual [[Twilight Town]]. |
| *In The Other Twilight Town, there is a standalone building with a candy shop. In the real Twilight Town, there is a [[Moogle]] Shop instead. | | *[[Setzer]] is the [[Struggle]] champion in the virtual [[Twilight Town]]. In the real [[Twilight Town]], it is [[Seifer]]. |
| *Only the item shop is functional in The Other Twilight Town, but all shops are in the real Twilight Town. | | *In the virtual [[Twilight Town]], there is a standalone building with a candy shop. In the real [[Twilight Town]], there is a [[Moogle Shop]] instead. |
| *The computer in the simulated world's Old Mansion's basement is destroyed (by Roxas), while it is in perfect shape in the real Twilight Town. | | *The stores aren't functional in the virtual [[Twilight Town]], but are in the real [[Twilight Town]]. |
| *The [[Save Point]]s in the basements of the Old Mansion are different – the basement in The Other Twilight Town uses Type B while the one in the real Twilight Town uses Type A.
| | *Evident only once [[Sora]] must go to virtual [[Twilight Town]], the computer in the virtual world's [[Old Mansion]]'s basement is destroyed (by Roxas), while it is in perfect shape in the real [[Twilight Town]]. |
