I was...hrm, not bad lol! And I guess others agreed, because every time I posted something it was poached for some shitty fangame. Reason #2: Notice my little Zephyr issue down below? I said I wouldn't gossip, but I wanna vent! It's kind of related lol. Just for the hell of it, I volunteered to make the UI for the HD Days remake project. They didn't want it, saying they already had it, so ok. [http://www.mediafire.com/download/ay16l91od0o6a4g/REDAYS.psd This was it btw] (I shared this only with Zephyr, but fuck his punk ass). Whatever they want. Around the same time, I ask Zephyr for a favor - the transparencies of that KH3 UI, for the hell of it. He ignores me for a week, then outright bullshits me saying he doesn't share stuff for free if it's gonna be used in a project. Firstly....he didn't design it, ''he copied it''. Secondly...he ''gave'' it to those HD Days guys free of charge lol. You can tell because the rest of the UI looks like utter shit compared to the command menu.

::Both Xion ''and'' Ventus are why Roxas can wield two. Sora can wield two because he has Ventus's heart in addition to his own. Roxas, being Sora's Nobody, can also wield two. Xion's creation siphoned away Roxas's access to his other Keyblade, Ven's. When Xion died, Roxas gained access to a second Keyblade, Ven's, not Xion's.

:::Makes about as much sense as anything else in Kingdom Hearts. --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 02:53, 7 September 2016 (UTC) | |||
::::This whole section probably needs a lot more quotes but at least to me the scenario falls into the "Sora is just a normal kid"-theme Nomura mentions different times. I don't think the games ever made the distinction between being able to wield a Keyblade and being able to wield Keyblades in general. There is the inherence cermony and the concept of owning a personal Keyblade but that's about it. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 05:39, 7 September 2016 (UTC) | |||
:::::My interpretation of Sora being a normal kid is that he did not "earn" the right to be a wielder through the inheritance ceremony, or being chosen -- Ventus lent it to him, and eventually Sora proved himself with the borrowed ability. If Ventus is the source of Sora being able to wield ''one'' of his Keyblades, due to something that happened ten years ago, it makes more sense that that's what allowed him to take and keep Riku's Keyblade ("moving down the list", implying Sora was already on a list), rather than Sora first acquiring the ability with Riku, then Ventus's contribution activates later because reasons. And yeah, I know, it's Nomura, "because reasons" pops up all the time, but the timeline makes it seem to me more like: | |||
*Sora accepts Ventus's heart | |||
*Sora is not a wielder, but can physically hold a Keyblade because he has a wielder's heart inside him | |||
*Riku's Keyblade comes to him | |||
*Riku's Keyblade is confused at Riku's wavering heart, sees a strong Keyblade wielder heart grabbing for it, and says "ok for now" (this part at least we agree is confirmed by Nomura) | |||
*While borrowing Riku's Keyblade, Sora forms a strong enough connection with the "platonic ideal of Keyblades" or whatever that he truly becomes a wielder | |||
*Riku's Keyblade officially shifts from being linked to Riku's heart to being linked to Sora's heart (very confusing and inconsistent with the shenanigans with Aqua's Keyblade, very very clearly a retcon, but whatever) | |||

::@_@ I'm lost rofl. At this point, Kubo Tite is a better writer. --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 13:38, 7 September 2016 (UTC) | |||
::::::The ''ONLY'' retcon in the series is with the Kingdom Hearts that appeared at the end of the first game. At the time, it was the real Kingdom Hearts, then later it was an artificial one made from the hearts of other worlds. [[User:Rex Ronald Rilander|Rex Ronald Rilander]] ([[User talk:Rex Ronald Rilander|talk]]) 15:34, 7 September 2016 (UTC) | |||
:::::::You forgot about the time travel nonsense (Xehanort's Heartless showing up at Destiny Islands' door being planned ahead - IN THE PAST! FROM THE FUTURE!), and Nobodies actually having hearts, and Donald not recognizing Yen Sid's tower, and...hell, everything about Xion, and Minnie banishing Pete. We all like the games, but there's no need to be an in-denial fanboy about it: The series is a retcon'd trainwreck. --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 15:45, 7 September 2016 (UTC) | |||
::::::::Firstly, would you please stop insulting me? You've done it a few times now and I don't appreciate it. Secondly, I'm not perfect. In fact I'm extremely forgetful. Xehanort's Heartless is pretty much definitely true. Nobodies having hearts was hinted with Roxas and Naminé. Donald was probably referring to where the tower was, as in near Twilight Town. If he didn't recognize the tower itself, from what we know, the last time he was there was about 10 years ago, so we should give him the benefit of the doubt. Xion is debatable. Minnie with Pete, I'll half give you since again, 10 years is a long time, people misremember things you know. Finally, "Retcon" is short for Retroactive Continuity, which means that anything not hinted at being the case is changed from what it was in the first place. If someone died in one game but is shown to be alive in another one with the event where that character died being referenced without any other explanation as to why the character is alive now, then that is a retcon.

:Kryten, of course your explanation makes sense and I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that Ventus had something to do with Sora being able to get a hold of the Keyblade with all we know. The problem with this explanation is that it's never reinforced this way in the other games nor the interviews, in contrary it goes against one of the themes of the first game because the connection to Ventus would mean that he actually had some right to the Keyblade and he didn't just get it by his own strength (of heart). As I see it Nomura provided the only "official" explanation of this scene to date and therefore we have to go with it. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 16:30, 7 September 2016 (UTC) | |||
::Shard: got it. That being said, all that's doing is having ''Riku'' performing an unintended Bequeathing, not showing that Sora got it without inheriting it, so Nomura's kind of full of it if he's trying to say that Sora was never "chosen" in the way Riku and Kairi were -- at the very least, he did the same thing Kairi did. | |||
::Ignis: Seconded, please cool it on the aggressiveness. | |||
::Rex: The retcon about the Keyblade is that KH1 very strongly implied, if not explicitly stating, that there were two Keyblades, and that Riku had been chosen a la Excalibur, rather than it being simply a familiar or Bankai-type situation that somehow, despite what we're later also shown with Aqua, Terra, or Luxu's own confusing situations, went to Sora instead. Especially when Mickey ''should have known'' what being a Keyblade wielder is, and thus, that simply because Sora doesn't currently have his key doesn't at all justify Donald and Goofy just abandoning him, because Sora would simply summon a new one (as we even see Riku do, later!) Keyblades being linked to specific hearts and created by that person, as done with Way to the Dawn in KH2, is severely undercut if they can be forcibly or accidentally taken by a being without that heart, as Sora and Riku did to Roxas, Lingering Will to Terra-Xehanort, or Aqua to Eraqus. In particular, it's very confusing how Riku was able to grow a new Keyblade if the Keyblade, which supposedly represents a link to his heart, was claimed by Sora. Like, did the molecules of the Kingdom Key gradually transition from being composed of Riku's Keyblade to being Sora's? Was Riku pulling his Way to the Dawn from Sora's Kingdom Key as Sora grew his own in the same way we see with Xion and Roxas? How does any of this actually work beyond blanket Rule of Cool? I can see how Nomura could reframe what was said and done in KH1 to justify the new direction on Keyblades, but that's still recognizably a retcon even if he says "well from a certain point of view". See {{w|retcon}} -- you very much don't have to have a ''reboot'' to have a retcon.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 18:56, 7 September 2016 (UTC) | |||

That last thread was getting huge so I'm just gonna start a fresh one here lol. Here's a simple little experiment with the [[http://www.khwiki.com/File:Minimap_(Dark_City)_TWTNW_KHII.png|Dark City]]. How's that? | |||
:Looks great to me, I like how you incoperated the rooms names too. :D | |||
:As for the missing maps, the DC one can be found [http://www.mediafire.com/view/hwhjdb1v7y6m8hc/dc02_map.png here], Agrabah 04 (the fight against Jafar) and Agrabah 05 (the room where Jafar's lamp was stored) don't have maps and Agrabah 08 doesn't even exist. The Garden of Assemblage & Co tiles weren't translated yet (I'm taking this stuff all from the JP version), that's why they are missing. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 07:49, 18 September 2016 (UTC) | |||
::Thanks. Any chance you can extract stuff from the NA version down the line? I'm actually a little curious to see the world name for The Gathering Place! --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 15:05, 18 September 2016 (UTC) | |||

:::Yeah, it really stands out. Ripping from the International version requires a bit more preparation, I'll try to get it done on the weekend. Is there other English stuff missing at the moment besides the room names? --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 14:48, 19 September 2016 (UTC) | |||
::::Not that I noticed. Basically, all locations new to Final Mix are missing the English room names. So, I'm definitely gonna need the NA versions when compiling, say, Cavern of Remembrance. Also, technically speaking, the HD command menu images you provided are very slightly different: In the Japanese version, it says "Command" while in the NA version it's "Commands." It's a ''very'' minor difference though, so I think we can let it slide. --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 15:49, 19 September 2016 (UTC) | |||

Heyo! As I type this, I'm working on those minimaps...again. Finally. Procrastination is a lot of work! There is a system to it. But anyways, I was wondering if you've retrieved any of the world area names from the NA versions? They're definitely going to be needed for the Cavern of Remembrance. And I also, [http://a-very-merry-q.deviantart.com/gallery/60454898/HUD-Design I finally put together all this shit lol].

:Sorry, I'm still super busy and not sure when I have finally some free time to get the extraction going. I'm still working on English names of the new areas and haven't even started with FFX yet, but it seems at least texture dumping from the steam version is relatively easy, not sure about extracting stuff from the PS3/PS4 version yet. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 18:25, 28 September 2016 (UTC) | |||

:Maybe you have to devide them per floor, you probably can't them fit on one plane, at least not without many arrows, letters and probably colors in the case of the Cavern of Remembrance, but that's actually a point for the level design of KHII, not against it:D --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 06:23, 29 September 2016 (UTC) | |||
::Here's what I hate about the level design. Let's say you're in an area, and the "gate" to the next one is north. You pass through the north gate and enter the new area, yet for some reason, it ends up on the ''west'' side of it. Now, imagine that...with almost every area! That's Agrabah in a nutshell. It's a scrambled clusterfuck that's an utter pain to organize - and I can't go around flipping the maps because the way they're extracted is exactly the way they're presented in-game. I'm thinking the only way around this is to mark the gates with letters, and then correspond them. Kind of like how I did with the Keyblade Graveyard or Timeless River portals. --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 06:35, 29 September 2016 (UTC) | |||
:::I think you should still rotate them in this case, decide for a direction, probably using the biggest map, and go with it. The level design can also be understood much easier this way. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 11:18, 29 September 2016 (UTC) | |||
::::I tried that, but some of them go in a spiraly direction - like Twilight's View. No matter which way you rotate it, a gate will keep slamming into the wall of another area, be it the last or next. --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 16:17, 29 September 2016 (UTC) | |||

I went ahead and snooped around your mediafire folder and found the KH3D textures. So, with those...I went ahead and updated the Reality Shift images! They're still pretty low-quality since the game uses hilarious amounts of compression (just about...every texture looks like shit lol), but I made do. However, the files you uploaded don't have the Japanese version textures in them - so I was hoping you could get around to uploading those? OR! Or you could wait until 2.8, when we'll get significantly higher-quality textures to play with, provided you're confident you can extract them. --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 04:23, 11 October 2016 (UTC) | |||

:Whoa! I was thinking I was the only wanting to know if anyone was able to rip something from the Japanese version of the game. But I think it's too early to do that; first because the game was released a few days ago; and second because we don't know anything about how Square has encrypted the new files with the Unreal Engine 4 or the HD files in DDD. Also, it would be wisely to wait until the game is released in the entire world, let the people play with it, and then extracting all the juice inside. If I'm not mistaken (and this is only an interpretation of what I saw in the videos), the graphics of BbS 0.2 are huge compared to the HD versions of older games (maybe 1024x1024px graphics instead of 512x512px). --Oscar92player | |||
::About the encryption, I asked Shard to get a sneak peak into some of it a couple of months ago by cracking open Type-0 HD and maybe the FFX HD remasters. But.....ahem. He's been a little procrastinaty on that. --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 21:23, 13 January 2017 (UTC) | |||
:::The thing is that Final Fantasy Type-0 HD and Final Fantasy X&X-2 HD are not using the Unreal Engine, the use some kind of Unity-like engine (I don't remember the exact name). But in theory, because Square is using the Unreal Engine 4 for KH BbS 0.2 instead of Unreal Engine 5, the data encryption will be the same as other games using the same engine (unless Square used another method to encrypt the data inside). Anyway, if I'm not mistaken, the fonts now the need to be in .ttf or .otf format, because (unless I'm mistaken), Unreal Engine 4 don't have support for bitmaps fonts like in older KH games. This is an opportunity to obtain fonts is his original format instead of bitmap images. --Oscar92player | |||
::::0.2 is a lower priority since there's really just three things the Wiki needs from it. DDD on the other hand has a good chunk of HD assets that need updating. And as for fonts, 2.5 didn't use bitmaps either. So, that could be a tiny source of comfort for 2.8 lol. --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 04:19, 14 January 2017 (UTC) | |||
:::::Thinking about it, KH DDD has nice assets for the wiki, and some of them new compared to the 3DS version, but BbS 0.2 has new graphics assets too for the HUD elements, or things like the costumes images in the menus. That would be a nice addition for the wikia too. As for what you said about 2.5... KH2 and Birth by Sleep HD uses bitmap images as fonts. Tell me if I'm wrong, but... does KH 2.5 use another type of fonts, like .ttf or .otf, maybe for the Re:Coded cutscenes and menus? --Oscar92player | |||
::::::KH2FM and BBS both use tff. [http://www.mediafire.com/file/te9xmuztowt4mnz/KH+Fonts.zip Here are the extracted fonts. Try it out for yourself!] --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 23:40, 14 January 2017 (UTC) | |||
:::::::This .ttf fonts are from the Japanese version of KH X[chi]. It's true that the fonts called DFSOGE5 and KH2_ALL_MENU_I are the same used n 2.5 for the Game Selection Menu and the HUD menu for the movies, but in this case both are from X[chi], and the Cinema_Calligraphy_Web is for the Japanese dialogue boxes as well. The only ones that 2.5 uses are the images that you see in there for KH2 and BbS (and there are KH Re:CoM fonts too), those are the bitmap fonts that I'm talking about. In theory, and because 0.2 now uses Unreal Engine 4, the game no longer can uses images as fonts but .ttf or .otf ones. I'm sure that 0.2 uses the .ttf fonts called DFSOGE5 KH2_ALL_MENU_I for the HUD (the ones you have miss the extra latin characters for accents and symbols, so they are incomplete), and we miss the dialogue fonts, they are different in US and European versions from Cinema_Calligraphy_Web (this one is only used in the Japanese version). --Oscar92player | |||

But really, more than anything, I'm impressed that you got such clean renders from crappy compressed screenshots. --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 18:37, 21 April 2017 (UTC) | |||
Can I vent? I'mma vent a little bit. '''''Fuck this game'''''. :< I barely [https://www.khwiki.com/File:Focus_Gauge_KHBBS02.png|barely managed to cobble this thing together] from everything we had. So, here's the main issue with the game: It's fucking oppressively dark and gloomy. And the UI uses transparencies! Dark ones at that. To get anything decent out of this, you need to make use of a VERY light environment. Except...''the fucking game blocks you from taking screenshots from the idea environment!'' But...I'm feeling just a little bit triumphant. So, maybe I'll try and get started on the style changes. I appreciate you ticking your settings to screenshot png format...but it's still super compressed. :< Sooo...here goes nothing. --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 04:43, 2 May 2017 (UTC) | |||

==Questions== | |||
In terms of Kingdom Hearts χ, should the information from Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ just go under the sections for Kingdom Hearts χ? The two story lines are exactly the same save for one set of missions surrounding a wielder that was reckless and decided to separate himself from his friends as a result in hopes that it would keep them safe. Furthermore, how would you like the information from Kingdom Hearts Back Cover organized on the character pages? Chronologically or separately as its own heading? As of right now I've put the information in alongside the information from Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ. As well, is there some sort of page dedicated to chronology? If not I would love to work on a Kingdom Hearts Timeline page and detail the events of each game in order. Also, I saw on a page (not sure which one) that indicated that the Keyblade War took place only 100 years before Kingdom Hearts rather than hundreds of years. Is this fact or fiction? For all I know this content was already deleted as fan-made content but I'd rather be sure (that would certainly make a timeline easier to create as well). Also, I was wondering about the Foreteller pages - shouldn't the page names be changed to simply "Aced", "Ava", "Gula", "Invi", and "Ira"? I understand that the "Foreteller" title is included in their journal entries - but like titles aren't included in any other page names (it's no longer "Master Xehanort", just Xehanort; same situation with Aqua, Riku, Mickey, Yen Sid, and Eraqus). Including "Foreteller" in the page names just seems awkward and out of place. Also - I thought it worth mentioning that Aced, Ava, Gula, Invi, Ira, Luxu and the Master of Masters are all considered Keyblade Masters, but are excluded from the Keyblade Master page. Sorry for the barrage of questions. | |||

== 0.2 Starlight == | |||
I noticed that in the first cutscene with Luxu in the keyblade graveyard that there's a tiny bit of the Starlight showing. I was wondering if this would have a render hidden within the game at all, or would it not because it's part of a cinematic? (or if they only bothered making a portion of it because the whole keyblade wasn't seen in game). {{User:Chainoffire/sig}} 06:06, 2 June 2017 (UTC) | |||
:I still can't access the game files so everything's still possible I guess. I know that's not very helpful, sorry. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 12:18, 3 June 2017 (UTC) | |||
== Union cross == | |||
hello! Can you please upload the logo for Union cross like you did here? http://www.mediafire.com/file/f9j4wh0khw03w5y/KHUX+Menu+stuff.zip thanks!{{unsigned|178.63.97.34}} | |||
:Sorry, since the start of Union Cross the starting screen images were packed using a new method that hasn't been cracked yet, probably the same that is used now for every new update, and since they didn't update the Dandelion cutscene I can't help you with the images at the moment. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 20:54, 1 July 2017 (UTC)~ | |||
== Merchandise Logo == | |||
Sup! Iggy here! I'm at work so I don't have the patience or connection to upload this, so can you do me a small favor? I got the recent official merchandise logo cleaned up here: http://sta.sh/09rq0w5n17h I just need you to upload it onto the wiki directly. :3 It's basically the same as 2.5's, albeit a few hue and gradient differences, and of course it doesn't have the 2.5 thingy on it. This is the logo that's been showing up the most recent official Kingdom Hearts merchandise. That being said, for the US merch, they actually removed the Square Enix and keyblade watermarks at the top and only leave "Disney" up. It's still the same thing though. Anyway, thanks! :D --{{User:Ignis}}, 1 July 2017 (UTC)~ | |||
:I uploaded it, not sure where it fits though, since the most recent merchandise page here is about the mascot straps I think. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 16:26, 3 July 2017 (UTC) | |||
::Huh, I dunno why I thought for some reason we had a dedicated merch page instead of a regular category/index. Still though, archiving all official images and promo materials is a good habit to maintain. Like, that old coded logo for example: You actually can't find a clean, transparent one anywhere anymore lol. It's by pure accident that I discovered that I saved the decompiled the old flash site on an old HDD. Still, will be useful one day. Thanks a lot! :D --Ignis, 3 July 2017 (UTC)~ | |||
==Pupstar== | |||
Hello, sorry to bug you but I was trying to make a page for the Dream Eater Pets but I'm honestly so confused by what to do that I thought it best to just give it up for now (I don't really understand how to make tabs for each colour variant) but in my experimenting I accidentally created the page "[[Pupstar]]". Is there anyway to delete it? Either that or is there anyway a template could be prepared so that I could go ahead with the creation of the individual pet pages? ([[User:Levi657|Levi657]] ([[User talk:Levi657|talk]]) 23:38, 6 December 2017 (UTC)) | |||
:What you did was exactly right, great work on those pages. :D --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 06:27, 7 December 2017 (UTC) | |||
::Thank you, it took me a while but I finally got the hang of it :) I was wondering if it is really a good idea to have separate pages for the Gummi Copter/Copter Fleet, Ratty Rat/Ratty Rat Trio and the Fluttering/Flutterings? It isn't as if they're a different entity so much as they are a horde of Heartless. I almost feel like you could merge these pages, am I wrong? ([[User:Levi657|Levi657]] ([[User talk:Levi657|talk]]) 12:17, 7 December 2017 (UTC)) | |||
:::The reason they all different pages is that some years ago it was decided that "new name = new page" which resulted in the splitting of most of the ability pages (some are still not done today). Horde Heartless are a relatively new phenomenon (see Devil's Wave etc.) maybe we really should merge them with their single versions but such a decision needs a discussion I think. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 16:23, 7 December 2017 (UTC) | |||
== Contact info == | |||
Hey, Shard. Just wondering if you had anyway to contact Sign from KHInsider. I messaged her a few weeks back via KHInsider forums about a project we're working in, and I don't know if she got it or not. I feel like you've had contac with her before, hence I come to you. Let me know if you can, thanks! {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 19:52, 7 December 2017 (UTC) | |||
:That's my only way of contacting her too. Sometimes it takes a long time for her to answer as she's probably busy with other stuff. You should write her again, maybe she just forgot to write a response. --{{USer:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 21:20, 7 December 2017 (UTC) | |||
==Thanks== | |||
Thanks for saving my ass on the Photobucket image purge. Seriously. My inactivity is bad enough for it, but for something that caliber of a headache...geez. Words aren't enough, but you have my eternal thanks. {{User:Xion4ever/Sig}} 03:48, 22 December 2017 (UTC) | |||
:No sweat, it was really KSM who did all the work :D --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 14:05, 22 December 2017 (UTC) | |||
==What do you think?== | |||
Dark World Logo KHAFP.png or Dark World KH0.2BBS.png? I see no need to keep both. Unless I'm missing something, one of these should be deleted. {{User:Xion4ever/Sig}} 15:39, 22 December 2017 (UTC) | |||
:You're right, just delete the lower res version. Also, I completely trust your judgement anyway, so delete what you think is unnecessary. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 15:43, 22 December 2017 (UTC) | |||

==KH 2.8== | |||
Has anyone been able to rip anything from KH 2.8? I ask, because there really isn't a proper texture of Armored Ventus Nightmare's Keyblade. MayBeePah's rip ([[File:Kingdom Key (Armored Ventus Nightmare) KH3D.png|30px]]) looks like it's for Anti-Sora after all. 27 January 2018{{unsigned|118.101.157.157}} | |||
:I don't think so, all there is until now are converted Unreal models of 0.2 with DDDHD probably being completely different. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 10:19, 30 January 2018 (UTC) | |||
==Textures== | |||
Do you if someone has ripped blinking and other facial animation textures from KH2, KH2FM, KHBBS, and KHBBSFM? I can't find them wherever I look. [[User:ChrisShade|ChrisShade]] ([[User talk:ChrisShade|talk]]) 00:52, 8 February 2018 (UTC) | |||
