Talk:Lingering Will

How is it possible that he can only be fought after sealing Keyholes and defeating Xemnas? There are no keyholes in KHII, and killing Xemnas ends the game.

• sigh!*..... Ok, 1-Yes, there are Keyholes. I'm not sure how else to explain it to you.

2-there's anoption at the end of final mix that lets you returrn to the game after Xemnas is defeated. -xNaminéx

Technically they're not keyholes, they're loopholes in the Gummi shield around each world...or something like that.—Urutapu 23:55, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Find me a single place in the game where it says Keyholes. Besides, the animation for the "opening" occurs in several worlds that have already had their Keyholes sealed, like Atlantica, Hollow Bastion, and Agrabah. Why would the Keyhole unlock itself and transfer to another object? They aren't Keyholes. 69.207.151.166 03:38, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

KrytenKoro - "It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living." TALK - I've never understood that - it's so incredibly important in KH to seal those keyholes to save the universe, while in KH2 they're all "Open them up! What's the worst that could happen?" If I understand correctly, the game lets you save the fact that you have beaten Xemnas, though it still places you, story-line wise, right before the boss, like in Chain of Memories.

But It's NOT like "Open them up!What's the worst that could happen?" Basically in KH1 the keyholes were the doors to the world's hearts(in a building, the door to the basement and foundation.keeps the house up.) In KH2 the keyholes were the roads to other worlds (the door outside) Two seperate things.

I don't think the things that Sora zaps with the Keyblade at the end of each world's primary mission are keyholes at all. Nobody calls them that, they look nothing like the keyholes from KHI, and Yen Sid makes no mention of them being Keyholes despite mentioning them specifically. 69.207.145.217 23:27, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Terra and lingering sentiment

http://www.kingdomhearts3.net/scenario-mysteries-interview/

KrytenKoro - "An education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease. It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on." TALK - Nomura doesn't seem to actually say that the Lingering Sentiment is Terra, just that the other two armored knights are Aqua and Ven. The "decoding" and connection seem to be set by the fans and the interviewer, respectively.

yet he doesn't correct them either,perhaps because he thought it was obvious.

Morghman - Now! Let's savor the utmost of suffering together! TALK - As the other dies, their agony radiates through my body, and living through it is pure ecstasy! Ya, but even so, is it necessary to make a section in the article for it? Doesn't that kinda stuff belong in the Discussion pages? And if it is going to stay, can it get some cleanup please?

Terra ≠ the Lingering Sentiment: The Ultimate Proof

As stated in the Ultimania, when asked about Birth by Sleep, Nomura said and I quote:

"This game is set the farthest in the past of any other, so it connects to Kingdom Hearts, but the main characters are three that haven’t appeared in the other games."

This is even on the BbS page for goodness sake. So there you have it. And due to the nature of the Lingering Sentiment, being found through a black and purple portal, transporting Sora and co. to another location, and its Keyblade preforming attacks unheard of for any other Keyblade, it is rather obvious that the Lingering Sentiment is an Absent Silhouette and should be classified as so. Kthnxbai!XYZ. 07:15, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

News flash, idiot. That fight is NOT CANON! IT NEVER HAPPENED, IT'S JUST A FIGHT TO TEST THE PLAYER'S STRENGTH!

And we are not changing the page, so don't ask us to, OK?

Wow, those two are total douches. Why wouldn't we change the page if they just showed us that some of the information we have is wrong/inaccurate.

Another Interview for ya http://kh2.co.uk/?page=NI/KHBBS1 to wit, May I believe the person you Fight in KH2FM+ and Terra are the same person?Because they both use a similar kind of keyblade Nomura:"If they really are the same person, or not is uncertain,though it doesn't matter If you think they are the same person"204.211.185.107 14:50, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

maggosh Strike backwards... — "That's a nice expression." You're terrified, aren't you? So it's still up in the air. We'll have to wait for BbS to find out, then.

JFHavoc Talk to Me! — I once took an IQ test and got a score of over 9000. You're all morons. — JFHavoc 18:51, December 15, 2009 (UTC) I think it'd be funny if at the end of Birth by Sleep a weird portal appeared and when you went in you had to fight Sora and he was like the easiest boss ever. (Considering how hard the Lingering Sentiment was ASSUMING it was Terra, Sora would have to be pretty weak).

Yeah, but if the battle is canonical so is Sora's victory , MEANING: he is stronger. So the battle would be the hardest and impossible to be won. [Redeemer and Destroyer]] 20:09, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

LOMI, Voice of Nothing Master of Fiction {{{1}}}

What I think : the Final Mixes always give hints of what is to come (as in Xemnas' search for Ven and Aqua suggesting that he might be the Xehanort we know, the fight with Xemnas, and ultimately, the fight with the Lingering Sentiment). We might think they're non-canon now, but they'll definitely be in a later edition. And I know there's going to be one. Give up on yourself and you give up on the world. • TroisNyxÉtienne — 00:49, December 16, 2009 (UTC)

Ataradesu]] Qu'as-tu fait à son coeur ? — 00:41, December 24, 2009 (UTC) It really does make sense. Thought, it's Sora that went to "Terra", not the other way around, so it differs from Xemnas first's appearance. Since "Terra" is from the past, maybe he's just "a bonus", and a hint of what was to come in the next game (BBS) but not especially "next in the story". Terra might win against Sora, don't forget he had something Terra hadn't. His friends fighting at his sides.

When I said "next in the story" I wasn't implying Terra. I was implying the hatred for Master Xehanort, which is very likely to be a central part of the story in the next instalment. Since MX's antagonism seems to linger on in the story, only through the figure of Xehanort. Give up on yourself and you give up on the world. • TroisNyxÉtienne — 01:20, December 24, 2009 (UTC)

Confirmed

Shouldn't an admin edit this since it is confirmed to be Terra? Randomnessity Looks like you're prepared. — 03:40, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

KrytenKoro - Most bears were content to live their lives, mauling and eating one, maybe two humans at most. "Mass-murder," as the bears always said, "is for the sharks." But not Barry. Barry was different. He knew that one day, he would kill ALL of the humans. This is the inspiring, tear-jerking story of one bear and the dream he dared to dream. TALK - The details of the spoiler policy are being discussed on the forums.

Birth by Sleep Spoilers

In the climax of Terra's scenario, Master Xehanort's Heart possesses Terra's body, much like Xehanort's Heartless does to Riku. Once the process is complete, "Terranort" casts away Terra's Keyblade and Armor. As Terranort basks in his victory and begins to leave, he is trapped by a force created Terra's reassembled Armor. The Armor then uses Terra's Keyblade to defeat Terranort. I feel that this has defined the existence of Absent Silhouettes: the consciousness of a fallen character imprinted on a personal possession.XYZ. 07:14, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

LS is confusing...

So, let me get this straight: The Lingering Sentiment is Terra's armor and Keybalde given life by...
A) Terra's Heart,
B) Terra's Soul (or an imprint of Terra),
C) Master Eraqus' Heart (just putting the thought out there :P),
D) any combination of the previous, or
E) None of the above

Character or Boss

Seeing how the Lingering Sentiment has been proven to have some importance as a character, should there be two separate articles for his character and the boss battle? --Samoth 10:20, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

Again, as Kryten said, no. Agi Idup Agi Ngelaban ! 10:45, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

Lingering sentiment is not Terra's soul it's Terra's will.

Terra's soul remains inside his body that is/was Xehanort along with Terra's heart.

in the secret ending we see Terra and Master Xehanort in a black area with a white

glow around them. This is their two seperate hearts communicating inside the heart

of our Xehanort (well at this time he could be called terranort). That black space is

where a heartstation should be.

Lingering Sentiment is terra's lingering sentiments brought to life inside his armor.

His intense feelings of hate for Xehanort and the urge to save his friends is what

drives this armor. The LS really is like an entierly new kind of being, or something

somewhat like an unversed. An unversed is the emotions of Vanitas manifesting

themselves with his darkness.

Aqua also made a LS in the secret ending but her's was to a less drastic extent.

It was only powerfull enough to hold together long enough to get Terranort out of the

dark realm. Though in doing this Aqua is dooming herself to wander through the dark

realm alone for 12 years untill she meets Ansem the wise after KH2's explosion happens.

This lingering sentiment is still alive thought and Xemnas speaks to it in the room of sleep

That is the voice Xigbar hears speaking back to Xemnas.

The soul in nothing in KH but the source of energy for the body to move to the heart's

commands. This is why a nobody can exist without a heart, because their body still

contains a soul giving it life.24.7.239.218 02:34, January 19, 2010 (UTC)random guy

You're using a lot of assumptions here. The cosmology of the Kingdom Hearts universe is that the soul/body stay together, yes. The heart is it's own seperate entity. A person's will power can be drawn from the heart, or the mind, thus creating sentient heartless and nobodies. Will power though has never been stated to be it's own driving force behind any of the machinations of the KHU. To call the LS a new being similar to the unversed is not a fact. It is a possability, yes. Untill then this is your theory.

Alos, it's not explicitly stated where and when some of the scenes in the secret video take place. Ven and Terra are shown to be alive and intact at one point in the video as well as Roxas, Xion and Axel. I could easily justify that the Living Sentiment is actually Terra's Heart residing in that armor and that the conversation in the hidden scene between Xehanort and Terra is the same as Riku's when his heart was "stained" by Xehanort's Heartless. That shows that darkness can consume a heart and possibly even replace it.Neverfate 16:58, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

Demonic Saint - Ah-hyuck! Did you happen to summon me? TALK - All for one and one for all. - 17:05, January 31, 2010 (UTC) It's more likely that the armor was taken by Terra's soul, and I think that until proven the contrary it should remain as soul on the article.

Here's a thought

This is exactly what I thought too. The Lingering Sentiment would be a nobody since it has Terra's soul and is using his armor as its body, but it would be a special one since it was not born from someone becoming a heartless. I think that this is correct, but does anyone else have anything to say? --Random Ranaun 04:26, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

It has feelings and it was created because of feeling of hate angry so i would say that he is more an Unversed than a nobody--Xabryn 11:54, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah but a special Unversed because the LS doesn't stem from darkness like the Unversed of Vanitas do. He's just Unversed-like.69.178.248.181 06:01, June 30, 2010 (UTC)

Voice Acting

Eternal Nothingness XIII - You have to be strong. Strength of heart will carry you through the hardest of trials. TALK - What I do, I do for friendship. — 10:13, March 5, 2010 (UTC) Should we remove the bit about the Lingering Sentiment being voiced in BBS? I refer to the Infobox when I say this. It never speaks, and the line before the end credits of Terra's story in Birth by Sleep are spoken by Terra himself, more like thoughts than words, hence the "echo-y" effect added to his voice. The Lingering Sentiment itself is just armor, hence possessing no speech whatsoever other than what was seen in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix.

As a Boss

Eternal Nothingness XIII - Ven, Aqua... I'll find some way to make things right. TALK - This light... it's so warm. — 11:04, March 6, 2010 (UTC) I understand this is in the MoS, but I don't see why we can't have a bit describing its fighting style in KH2FM. It completely removes all relevance that it appeared there not to have it. I know this is in the MoS, but where it says "Enemies/Bosses", doesn't that just mean the boss pages (_____ (Boss))? We don't need redundant text, but we can at least create a short paragraph, can't we? I mean, we do it with the Organization character pages, which are the same type of thing as this, so why not?

KrytenKoro - You should have figured out whether bodies age without their hearts, Nomura. TALK - I thought that was some sort of remerge. I guess if you want the information in the article, it would work better to combine the two sections as a general "Abilities" section, instead of "As a boss".

Infobox picture

I know that this may have been cleared or OK'd, or whatever it is, but I heartily disagree with that picture in the Infobox, because that is not the Lingering Sentiment. It is Terra in his armour, and there is a huge factor that proves it: the character in the Infobox is holding the Earth Shaker keyblade, whereas the Lingering Sentiment never carried that keyblade, always using the Gaia Bane. It's like putting a picture of Ven in Roxas' infobox, just because they lookalike even though they're not the same character. Well, the same case applies here. I've already put the picture of the Lingering Sentiment back in the infobox a couple of times before, but apparently what I do and the reasons I give don't count.

I say that picture of Terra in his armour has to be changed back to the one with the Lingering Sentiment. EnglishJoker 20:10, March 22, 2010 (UTC)

That picture has an error, too, because it has a cape, which does not appear in BBS. That's why there's a note right there next to the image saying that we know it's not fully correct, but it's the best we have for now.Glorious CHAOS! 22:22, March 22, 2010 (UTC)

Call me crazy, but didn't the cape appear in KH2FM? Both the cape and the Gaia Bane keyblade appear in KH2FM, and the LS never wields the Earth Shaker once in the series. That would make the pic with the cape far more accurate than the one of Terra in his armour. But, of course, since when does my opinion count? EnglishJoker 16:06, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

Neumannz — Looks like I'm gonna have to jump...! TALK — I work alone! Except when I work with Xion...which is all the time. — {{{time}}}   Lose the attitude. You're not going to convince anyone you're right unless you can argue your point calmly and logically. As for the picture, the final version of the LS is the version of Terra's armor in BBS, i.e., without cape. The design from FM2 is not more correct than the one shown in the infobox, as it has been replaced and made obsolete.

ShadowsTwilight - He's leaving you behind, and when you catch up, he'll be a different person TALK - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA How's this: Because of the design differences between bbs and fm, the ls seems to have two "forms", caped and uncaped. both wield gaia bane. the armored terra image does not qualify as a LS image because it depicts a weapon never wielded by the LS. since we do not have a proper pic of the ls without his cape and with gaia bane, the caped version will have to do because it is the only accurate image of it we have. perhaps we could place the armored terra image at the bottom with a caption tht reads "Terra's armor, which would soon become the Lingering Sentiment", or something like that. either way, the Image of the actual LS is a far more suitable image for him then Terra's Armor

Eternal Nothingness XIII - You have to be strong. Strength of heart will carry you through the hardest of trials. TALK - What I do, I do for friendship. — 14:18, May 30, 2010 (UTC) I agree, ShadowsTwilight, but would it be possible for someone to find the LS's BBS T-Render and animate it so we could get an image like this : If so, that'd be perfect. I'm switching the Infobox image now.

And I'm told to "lose the attitude" when I say that my opinion doesn't count. Well what do you call this??? ShadowsTwilight is giving EXACTLY the same reason I did to change the picture from Terra in his armour to the REAL Lingering Sentiment, but when I said it, it didn't count. Now that SOMEONE ELSE says it, it's suddenly OK to overrule the previous illogical debate and become logical. I'm glad that the picture's finally been changed to the real thing, but honestly, this is REALLY pissing me off now. I say something, no one cares. Someone else comes along and says the same thing with the SAME reasons, there's a change. I knew it. My opinion just does not count. EnglishJoker 20:38, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Honestly? I still disagree with this just as much as ever. I just have more important things to do right now.Glorious CHAOS! 01:50, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

Very well, but just don't replace the Infobox picture of Roxas with a picture of Ventus just because they lookalike. EnglishJoker 14:23, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

...we gave our reasoning over and over. Don't attack strawmen.Glorious CHAOS! 16:44, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

That depends on the hassle and headache the "strawmen" have caused over a silly picture. EnglishJoker 15:09, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

maggosh Strike backwards... — "That's a nice expression." You're terrified, aren't you? Um...ENX? Didn't you refuse to use a render of Ansem because it used the same method? :/

"Canonicity" trivia

Although the game does not unlock the battle until the save file has a "I beat Xemnas!" sticker on it, the battle itself is still played before the end of the game - you can beat the LS, and then go beat Xemnas. I think this should be interpreted more like a Prince of Persia type thing - the first run through is, "Here's the basic story," and then the return to the game and fight with the LS is, "But here's what REALLY happened."Glorious CHAOS! 16:53, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

Quote

I think the Lingering Sentiment quote is wrong. Various subs say that the LS says "Aqua...Ven...Someday, I'll definitely..." Vaddie 14:06, March 25, 2010 (UTC)

"Thoughts"

I haven't seen the original japanese, but the word for "soul" in Japanese can be translated as "thoughts", as well as the word for "heart" (though I doubt Lissar would have missed that interpretation). I think we should check this before saying it isn't his soul or his heart.Glorious CHAOS! 04:15, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Here's a thought...

LegoAlchemist - They changed "Snipe Magnet" to "Magnet Grab"? Who's translating this game, 4kids? TALK - Friendships are in direct contravention of mercenary conduct as delineated in your contracts, and on a personal note: I am very, very, disappointed with you. The Lingering Sentiment was created when Terra's soul willed a body to live... his armor. Sound familiar? That is how Nobodies are "born", when their strong soul wills their body to continue living... Could this mean the Lingering Sentiment is a Nobody? Also, the image on the front is NOT the Lingering Sentiment. It is Terra in his armor holding his Keyblade. The correct image was the KHII FM + version.

Xabryn - I don't care if you're real!You're not better! TALK - It's nice to have darkness on my side.{{{time}}} We're not sure if it is Terra's soul or Terra's thoughts and feeling that were lost, but if it is the soul yes, I think that it should be special sort of Nobody.

True or False?

Alright, just clearing this up. I'm a little lost here. The LS is just Terra's armor, right? Not him himself?Innosense 21:41, April 12, 2010 (UTC)

LegoAlchemist - They changed "Snipe Magnet" to "Magnet Grab"? Who's translating this game, 4kids? TALK - Friendships are in direct contravention of mercenary conduct as delineated in your contracts, and on a personal note: I am very, very, disappointed with you. Correct. The Lingering Sentiment is just an empty suit of armor containing Terra's Lingering memories of his friends, and his hatred of Xehanort. Terra's real body is- *shot* (Sorry, no BBS spoilers...)

maggosh The steel is forged... — "Souls as far as the eye can see..." "If you want light to rule over all, then you must rid the world of everything else." *smacks the wall* No, he does not.

Actually, they changed it to "lingering spirit".75.164.116.185 09:15, September 17, 2010 (UTC)

maggosh The steel is forged... — "Souls as far as the eye can see..." "If you want light to rule over all, then you must rid the world of everything else." Proof?

I think their basing it off the name of Vanitas in the guide, which directly contradicts the name in the report. Though a thought occurs, could anyone go to Terra's story after beating it and look in his report? Because there might be an entry on LS or even Xehanort himself in there. (I can't help as I am currently without my psp.)204.211.185.107 13:28, September 17, 2010 (UTC)

Considering how the official name for "Vanitas's Sentiment" (ヴァニタスの思念, Vanitasu no Shinen) is the "Vanitas Remnant", I am in favor of renaming the Lingering Sentiment (留まりし思念, Todomarishi Shinen) the "Lingering Remnant". Granted that both are physical manifestations of what remains of their powerful thoughts and feelings, we could even call it the "Terra Remnant", though since the phrase "留まりし思念" was coined by Tetsuya Nomura himself, I reason that's closer to being an official name than a fan-given name. --Immblueversion 23:58, September 17, 2010 (UTC)

maggosh The steel is forged... — "Souls as far as the eye can see..." "If you want light to rule over all, then you must rid the world of everything else." But it's still both fan-given and speculation. Until there's an official translation in a future game, it stays.

IN the guide it specifically calls Vcanitas remnant as his "lingering spirit". Still is their anything that calls it lingering sentiment anywhere? i dont remember, if it's in the final mix of kh2 that information can change considering it never released in the US.Aqua00000 02:10, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

Merge with Terra

I've been beginning to wonder, since the Lingering Sentiment is the lost mind of Terra within Terra's armor, has exactly the same fighting style and thus is the main character of the final battle of Terra's story in BBS, Terra and the Lingering Sentiment are in fact the same person, not like, for instance, Braig and Xigbar, who are different. Because of this, I personally think the Lingering Sentiment article should be merged with that of Terra, because the LS's story is the same as Terra's. The story section is small enough as it is, and most of the other stuff in other sections is almost the same as on Terra's page.

I think it ought to be merged. Let's put it to a vote. EnglishJoker 00:12, November 21, 2010 (UTC)

To merge this with Terra would be the same thing as merging Vanitas Remnant with Vanitas. I don't think it should be merged at all. And besides, doesn't the LS have it's own journal entry? Chitalian8 00:15, November 21, 2010 (UTC)

LS have its own entry in KHIIFM+ but I don't know about BbS. Anndd... I don't think it's the same with Vanitas-Vantis Remnant case since LS is canon character :/ The17Master

I think that because It's terra's armor, not a part of Terra himself, that makes it a separate being from Terra, so i really don't think a merge is all that necessary--ShadowsTwilight 00:27, November 21, 2010 (UTC)

...it is actually more different from Terra than Braig is from Xigbar. It is his soul, and his clothes, while Xigbar is Braig's soul, body, (and clothes). Nomura hinted almost explicitly that the Sentiment was essentially Terra's Nobody.(ಠ_ೃ) Bully! 02:59, November 21, 2010 (UTC)

Psst, KrytenKoro, if the Sentiment is Terra's Nobody, then where's his Heartless? O.O --Never fear ... Superdog is here! ^{Yipee! :D} 04:21, November 22, 2010 (UTC)Superdog1123

The Sentiment is not Terra's Nobody, it's his soul. His Nobody is Xemnas. His Heartless is Ansem, Seeker of Darkness.--NinjaSheik 04:23, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

Y'alls word against Nomura's. The LS is Terra's Nobody by technicality, in the sense that it possesses the components that make up a Nobody, i.e. a body (the armor) and a motivating source (Terra's mind), it's not a normal Nobody, or even a literal Nobody, but it is essentially a Nobody because it's general construct resembles a Nobody--ShadowsTwilight 04:35, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

So, I guess the LS is what you called a "Special Nobody" or not?--NinjaSheik 04:37, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

I guess so--ShadowsTwilight 05:35, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

Will's Cage

The cage produced by the Lingering Sentiment in its final battle is named "Will's Cage"[1]. The kanji used for "Will" is shinen, the same word used for the "Sentiment" in "Lingering Sentiment". It seems pretty clear that the cage is literally the sentiment's cage, so I propose we move this article to "Lingering Will".(ಠ_ೃ) Bully! 16:15, November 30, 2010 (UTC)

Lingering Will? What is that? The17Master

What Kryten is proposing is that Lingering Will is the English name for the Lingering Sentiment, when he mentioned "will" and "sentiment" having the same kanji, he's implying that Will's Cage uses the word Will as a short version of the Lingering Will, labeling it as a cage that it made--ShadowsTwilight 16:27, November 30, 2010 (UTC)

For example: suppose that Beast was not named in the English script or journal, but that we knew that the English-named "Beast's Castle" was his castle anyway, and that the katakana in "Beast" matched the Japanese name of the character. We would easily say that the character's name was "Beast".(ಠ_ೃ) Bully! 16:35, November 30, 2010 (UTC)

No. I like Sentiment better. Hell, even Remnant. maggosh 16:29, November 30, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with maggosh, Sentiment sounds a lot better. Lingering Will sounds like a... form-less ghost or something :/ Oh, and thanks for the explanation, ST :D The17Master

"Remnant" and "Sentiment" aren't even that accurate as translations of the kanji, which is most literally "Thought" (Lingering Thoughts, Vanitas's Thoughts, etc.) Sentiment also has a connotation of tenderness in English, which is not the meaning intended by the kanji (pretty much "mind-bits"). Furthermore, "Lingering Will" is a phrase actually used in English, rather than syfy Engrish like "Lingering Sentiment". Even if the adjective bit of this isn't ironed down dub-wise, this translation is at least closer to an accurate name.(ಠ_ೃ) Bully! 16:35, November 30, 2010 (UTC)

...But Sentiment just sounds so cool D: Besides isn't the name "Lingering Sentiment" used by many unofficial translators? Not that I doubt you or anything, but they're more experienced in this kind of stuff, aren't they? :/ The17Master

While i agree with 17, i'll have to admit Kryten makes a compelling argument--ShadowsTwilight 16:58, November 30, 2010 (UTC)

No, not because the decision falls to me. Someone gives a deadline to move the page, and by the time the deadline passes, nothing's been done, so in that case, it's best to give a little reminder which looks like a warning.

No No No.Bull shit.This artical name should stay the Lingering Sentiment.--Master

Why? Give some sources and reasons as to why it should have an un-official name other than "it sounds cooler". This discussion was started on November 30th and you're only now raising issues?LapisLazuliScarab02:56, January 9, 2011 (UTC)

Well it has been said that the Lingering Sentiment was created through Terra's feelings and emotion which is what Sentiment refers to.So refreing to it as the Lingering Sentiment would be best as to describe its existence.--User:The Dark Master

The literal meaning does not matter in this case; when we do not have official confirmation of a term, we have to translate the Japanese term to the best of our ability. Since we now have English justification that the subject of this article is called "Lingering Will", and that the location in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep matches this name in the North American version, we can easily call it correct. Similarly, if Nomura created a new Heartless based on a flame, has fires for arms, creates blazing pools as it walks, uses fire-based attacks, and is yet called "Blizzard Heart" or something non-fire based, we would name it Blizzard Heart on the wiki, NOT something based on its meaning. Simply put, translation before meaning. --^DTN 03:13, January 9, 2011 (UTC)

Terra-Xehanort directly refers to the armor as containing Terra's mind ("Why does your mind resist"), and "Lingering Will" is a better translation.LapisLazuliScarab03:13, January 9, 2011 (UTC)

Canon?

I was just wondering... whenever Sora encountered the Lingering Sentiment, is that canon, or was irrevelant to the story?--KRoNoS 18:22, January 5, 2011 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure but I am assuming it is canon as he mentions Terra, Aqua and Ventus as they are all connected to Sora, it was probably the prelude to both Re:coded and Birth by Sleep. When you said you were the fun one on the lane, who was your competition? The mailbox? - Erry 18:59, January 5, 2011 (UTC)

It is canon. Tetsuya Nomura said it in an interview about the Mysterious Figure in BBS. They both appear in scenes that don't seem canon, yet they are. It's how Terra is connected to Sora. EnglishJoker 18:50, January 6, 2011 (UTC)

Will's Voice

In the trivia it says that "At the end of Terra's scenario in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, the Lingering Will briefly talks with Terra's voice, yet in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, it appears to communicate with Sora by using metallic sounds, which Sora, Donald, and Goofy understand perfectly well. This discrepancy is not explained." I'd think the reason would be that square didn't hire a voice actor for Terra at the time of KHIIFM, just thought i'd put that out there. Xavnirs

It used to say that, but it was deleted as speculation (BS, I know). It's obvious it's because the voice actors hadn't yet been cast. EnglishJoker 10:32, January 15, 2011 (UTC)

What are you talking about? Read the article before you start bitching. I only removed the last part about how the "discrepency is not explained". Not because it's speculation, in fact it's technically true from an in-game perspective, but because it was bad writing. It's an awkward, accusatory tone to use and, in real-world terms, is easily explained as Xavnirs said. LapisLazuliScarab19:29, January 15, 2011 (UTC)

Its a secret boss in KHIIFM, not to mention it was terra's lost heart not the Lingering Will's voice calling out, the Lingering Will is the left behind feelings and regrets of Terra.--Lugiarules100 17:57, January 20, 2011 (UTC)

i'm sorry if i started any arguments, i was just explaining the meaning of the discrepancy if square hadn't already explained it(which they didn't). Xavnirs 13:04, January 23, 2011 (UTC)

You didn't start an agrument, and in fact you inspired a change in the Trivia piece you brought up. Its just a pet peeve of mine when people make assumptions without reading what they're talking about.LapisLazuliScarab13:23, January 23, 2011 (UTC)

Speaking about the voice, I have a question: You know that when the voices are set to English in KHIIFM, the characters who have extra lines don't communicate, right? I can understand the Will lacking a voice when it's set to English, but what happens when the voices are set to Japanese? Does the Will still not have a voice?

This is just something I need to make sure, and I'll be grateful if someone can provide me feedback on this. ^Tambours_Néant Ensemble ! 21:48, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

What's a harken?

I saw that the Lingering Will can turn the Ends of the Earth into a "harken-like weapon". One question: What the heck is a harken? If this is a typo, fix it, please--otherwise, I think a link to a definition would be appreciated.FT 05:37, February 13, 2011 (UTC)

It's the german word for "Hook". I don't know why they wouldn't just say "hook"."We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 10:55, February 13, 2011 (UTC)

Sentiment, not "Will"

Eternal Nothingness XIII - Ven, Aqua... I'll find some way to make things right. TALK - This light... it's so warm. — 16:16, 11 April 2011 (EDT) I've thought about it for quite some time, and I'm still against calling this guy the "Lingering Will", as well as it having a voice actor. Here is all my logic/evidence supporting why I think we should remove its listed VA's and change its name back to the Japanese one: Will's Cage, first of all, is a name discovered via hacking, NOT official gameplay, hence it is not official and should not be considered as such (it's the same case as the two Ultima Weapon palette swaps discovered in the coding of Kingdom Hearts II). Otherwise, this is PURE SPECULATION (teh ebil...)!!! Also, this name is just a lame attempt at being creative/mystical. It is not referring to Terra's dispatched armor in terms of possession. While the armor DID surround Terranort with a force field of some sort, which would technically mean the armor owned it, we must remember that it is (in the Japanese version), the last of Terra's emotions/thoughts, which are triggered by the brain. Will is another thing involved with the brain, but it ultimately controls the thoughts and emotions of a person. If anything, TERRA is the Will from "Will's Cage", not the armor, which are Terra's thoughts and emotions (Will, by definition, is the faculty of conscious and especially of deliberate action; the power of control the mind has over its own actions. The Lingering Sentiment's actions aren't its own, but TERRA's!). As you can see, there is NO similarity between the meanings of these two names from the Japanese-"English" transitition, as is normally the case. To further support this claim, Terranort says "So why does your mind resist!?" to the armor. MIND, people! That's the key term! In the Japanese version of Birth by Sleep, the Lingering Sentiment is Terra's remaining thoughts and emotions, and that was my point of mentioning how both are triggered by the brain, a synonym of which is the MIND (Terranort's quote was originally used in an attempt to prove that the name change should stay, and the reason why it was used to was purely OPINIONATED!!!)! Also, "Sentiment" is a synonym for "Emotion". Through this evaluation, it is obvious that TERRA is the will of Will's Cage, and the armor is the thoughts/emotion, like in the Japanese version (Japanese canon seems to trump English canon about the armor, hence I think its name should be reverted). Will controls thoughts and emotion; The last of Terra controls his dispatched armor. The Lingering Sentiment DOES NOT have a voice actor. One of any film or voice actor-using game's "increase the drama" tools is the ability to hint at the presence of a deceased person who speaks to a surviving character by using the dead person's voice while adding an echo-effect. This is done with Terra's voice at the end of both the English AND Japanese version of Birth by Sleep. This is symbollic of Terra's fading presence, how it is one of his last thoughts and promises regarding Ventus and Aqua. These words are NOT coming from the Lingering Sentiment, but from Terra himself. This, which I've tried to prove to the Wiki community COUNTLESS times, is why the Lingering Sentiment is totally silent in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, save for the metallic "whoosh" sounds it makes when it speaks. If the Lingering Sentiment had a voice actor, you'd hear "Hee-yah!" and "Rah!" coming from inside the armor during the battle with Terranort. Also (and this is probably the most crucial detail that erases any counter-speculation on my part), the Lingering Sentiment is not named or referred to specifically AT ALL during the game's credits in the English or Japanese versions! It is for these reasons that I feel the "Lingering Will" should remain known on the Wiki as the "Lingering Sentiment" and its VA's should be removed from the character template.

Chitalian8 Say... — And here's me, playing the world's tiniest violin. Your face is priceless. — 17:42, 11 April 2011 (EDT) I can't really compete with that wall-o'-text, but it's not like hacking is digging up false info, rather uncovering info that the developers already had in the game. Also, the kanji used in the "Will" in "Will's Cage" is shinen, same as the Japanese for Sentiment. Also, the Sentiment/Will thing was discussed earlier.

Eternal Nothingness XIII - I'm not afraid of what the darkness holds now. Even if you do wrest control of my heart from me, even if you cast me into the deepest, darkest abyss, you'll never sway me from the one cause that pushes me to keep on fighting. Whatever the cost, I'm ready to pay it. TALK - There's darkness within me... So what does that matter? I know I'm strong enough to hold it back. — 18:08, 11 April 2011 (EDT) I'm willing to repeat discussions as often as I have to in order to prove my point. The point I was trying to make, Chitalian and any who read this in the future, is that hacking is NOT a good source for official material, as what it produces is ultimately non-canon. It's finding sub-official material, and that's it. We, as a Wiki, should only consider what is in-game official, NOT what is discovered via coding. Otherwise, you may as well create an article on the Jungle Book world, as well as the Chamber of Waking, Destiny Islands, and Ventus's Room areas that were ALSO discovered through hacking. My point is this is not technically official material. Nomura and even the Ultimania never said "This area is called Will's Cage." Hence it is not technically canon/official. There is also more canon supporting the Japanese name rather than the English one, which was an INFERENCE and ASSUMPTION only, regardless of coincidence with kanji. No source, be it the game, Nomura, et cetera EVER calls the Lingering Sentiment by another name, and no source EVER refers to that force field-enclosed area of the Keyblade Graveyard "Will's Cage". Even so, you neglected to address your opinion about what we should do about the voice acting bit...

AlVan - I'm the leading man, you know. TALK - {{{time}}} It's not that big a deal. It's just a title.

Chitalian8 Say... — Only by allowing strangers in can we find new ways to be ourselves. Life's little crossroads are often as simple as the pull of a trigger. — 18:58, 11 April 2011 (EDT) I don't have much to argue about regarding the voice actor thing. But when was Sentiment ever officially used? Will is much closer to what shinen means than Sentiment, shinen most closely meaning "thoughts".

AS IF! The world is garbage! CRUNCH! Here we go again... ENX, going by what you're saying about not using hacks, I believe the most fitting name for it would be the Lingering Remnant. Before you yell at me for being ridiculous, just hear me out. The only other "sentiment/will/remnant" seen so far is the Vanitas Remnant. In Japanese, the word "shinen" is used in the place of "remnant", as in "The Shinen (thoughts) of Vanitas". It is also used in the Japanese Lingering Will/Sentiment/Remnant's name, as in "The Lingering Shinen (thoughts)". Seeing as how the word "shinen" was translated to "remnant" in Birth by Sleep, the safest name for the Lingering Sentiment/Will/Remnant is the Lingering Remnant. It is based off of an official translation, did not involve any hacking of the game, and is, in my humble opinion, as "official" as it gets until an official English name is released. I don't quite know about the VA part, although I interpreted Terra's voice at the end to be the feelings inside the Lingering Remnant talking, expressing his desire to set things right. Although what you said about dead people speaking in movies is extremely valid, that is just how I interpreted the scene. I also think the reason the Lingering Remnant's voice sounds metallic in KHIIFM is that a seiyyu (sorry if I misspelled that) had simply not been cast yet, similarly to Xemnas in KHFM. That is why I think the Lingering Remnant's VAs should be listed. Thanks for listening to my five cents.

In all honesty, if they came up with VAs for the Absent Silhouettes, they could've easily come up with one for Terra's armour. Everything sounded so fluid, except for Terra's armour... There was an interval of one year... Chances are that it was intended, then, rather than because of SE's failure to find a seiyuu. And on a side note (can't believe I'm veering off at this time, but I need to get my head back...), doesn't hacked content fall under Removed Content most of the time? This time, it isn't removed — it is a name... I assume that the English version doesn't state what this armour's name actually is (and I might be playing it soon... who knows?), so I'll go with As if's suggestion of "remnant" as the most accurate translation of shinen. Thoughts and will are two different things. There are some things even the stars cannot tell me. • TroisNyxÉtienne — 20:04, 11 April 2011 (EDT)

Chitalian8 Say... — Mother and Father call me Joshua. I guess you can call me Joshua, too... Since you're my dear, dear partner. I don't see how this is my fault. You're the one who refuses to call me Pink. — 21:26, 11 April 2011 (EDT) Yeah, I agree with Lingering Remnant (why didn't I think of that?).

Erry - Fight and Away TALK - It is a massive shit taken on the display and functionality of the site purely to draw in more advertising cash. ~ 22:13, 11 April 2011 (EDT) The name was found via hacking, but the area itself is called Will's Cage and it shows up in the end boss fight... I don't see it not being official material, anything that is included in the game at start is official material. Only when, and ONLY when it is not included at the start it is unofficial material, such as the Jungle Book world, it was all hidden away, and we do have an article about that. I think it's fine as it is.

LegoAlchemist - They changed "Snipe Magnet" to "Magnet Grab"? Who's translating this game, 4kids? TALK - Friendships are in direct contravention of mercenary conduct as delineated in your contracts, and on a personal note: I am very, very, disappointed with you. We've always considered content viewed through hacks "canon", I believe. If it wasn't featured in the game at all, then it's removed content. If it's the name of a map that's only viewable through hacks, it's still canon, we just never got the opportunity during the game to see it. We're hosting too much stuff pulled from hacks to say that none of it should be used. That'd be urinating on Shard and the other editor-hackors by saying that all the work they've done was for nothing. As for the name itself, there's nothing wrong with "Lingering Will". While it does come from a rather vague source, it works better than "Sentiment", which is, though "Lingering Sentiment" rolls nicely off the tongue, an ass-pull on translator's parts. Personally, I believe "Lingering Remnant" would work best in this scenario. At least it's a confirmed translation of shinen. But in all seriousness, it's a name. Not really worth a speech, IMO.

Neumannz — Looks like I'm gonna have to jump...! TALK — I work alone! Except when I work with Xion...which is all the time. — 23:47, 11 April 2011 (EDT)   EDIT CONFLICT OK, first off, there's no reason not to consider Will's Cage as an official name. It was inserted, by the developers, as part of the game, so unless and until it is CONTRADICTED by other sources, that is the name we should accept as canon. (We do, in fact, cover some things that are only in the code, and not just the removed content, neither.) I'm not sure what your next point is. Obviously the "will" is Terra's. The armor is animated by Terra's will. The LW is an extension of Terra. Where are you going with this? Also, thoughts and emotion are not the same thing. If anything, "will" is closer to "thoughts" and "mind", and "sentiment" is closer to "emotion". (See Mesprit vs. Azelf) And why do you think there are two different forces here? Why is the power behind the creation of the Will's Cage different than the power that is animating the armor? The related (Japanese) names and—rather blatant—concurrance would indicate that they are the same power, which would be the shinen. I don't know what makes "Sentiment" less speculative than "Will". It's just as fan-made, and less supported by in-game materials. I would agree that it doesn't have a voice actor, though. I'm not sure whether to say it has no voice at all, considering that, after all, Xemnas didn't have a voice actor in KHFM, even though we know he has a voice. The metalic "voice" could simply be a dramatic device, like Xemnas's OMINOUS NOISES, and not actually indicative of whether the LW has its own voice or not, let alone whether it would sound like Terra. Honestly, I think the strongest argument for going back to "Sentiment" is because "Lingering Sentiment" has a much cooler and more mystical sound to it than "Lingering Will". In conclusion, you should organize and space out your arguments better, so that we can read them, and you should be much less demagogic in your arguments, because it makes you sound like a crazy person (or a pundit... *cough*Glenn Beck*cough*) and people will have a harder time taking you seriously. P.S. I'm not sure if I really like "Lingering Remnant" as an alternative, although I do understand the reasoning behind it and note that it is a valid argument.

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 00:11, 12 April 2011 (EDT) Like many things, hacking is a tool that is only justifiable and useful to a certain extent. We use hacking to find two types of information--hidden and removed. Obviously stuff like the Jungle Book world and the Pleakley model were completely removed from the game and those are just remnants of what remains. However, some information isn't necessarily removed content, but rather material that we cannot view without hacking. I think the area "Will's Cage" is one of those areas, since a title of this location had to be input to the game in its coding. It isn't removed because (1) the location is present in-game and (2) the title of the place is identifiable with a tool that allows us to see it. We need not go through extensive files and to the bottom of listings to find small snippets of coding and items that were not meant to be in the game to find "Will's Cage." As far as to say anything about "Lingering Remnant", I absolutely abhor that. From what we've seen in the past, the nature and behavior of a Remnant is nothing more than a violent persona with no signs of independent thoughts or motives... other than, of course, to create Sora Pudding out of our Keyblade-bearing protagonist. The Lingering Will shows that it has cohesive, independent thoughts and motives canonically, even when it remains outside of a weapon-marked portal for years in the Keyblade Graveyard. That's what I've got to say on the matter.

Neumannz — Looks like I'm gonna have to jump...! TALK — I work alone! Except when I work with Xion...which is all the time. — 00:41, 12 April 2011 (EDT)   I think you're confusing "Remnant" with "Replica", Doorsey.

Actually, unless there's any other "remnant" I'm forgetting, he's right, considering Vanitas' is the only one we've seen so far. I think it's a generalization on a subject that we don't really know about, but there isn't a lot to go from here besides what's on the table.

KrytenKoro - "Because I knew something he didn't. I knew that I was lying. Seriously, sir. 'No silicon heaven'? Where would all of the calculators go?" TALK - Given: A: The name of the area is given in the same manner as all other room names, and is just unable to be viewed in the game due to lack of menu-pausing, B1: The name of the area in Japanese uses "Shinen", the same as the second part of the creature's name, B2: The nature of the area (a cage created by the creature), implies that the name refers to the creature's, C: "Will" is a valid translation of "Shinen", and does not have the false connotations of sympathy and pity that "sentiment" does, and for the needed connotation of "sentiment", is an exact synonym, D: There are no official translations of the creature's name in any other source, E: All other "hacks" of this type have yet to be contradicted; in cases where we get the names from other sources, such as the Ultimania or later games, those names match what was found through the "hack", F: According to Nomura, the creature is explicitly the same as that fought in KH2, G1: We use the most official dub when we have it, and provide "translation" notes when we don't. G2: We use the most recent dub when we have it, and provide "translation" notes when we don't. Then: Alpha: E provides A as meaning it is at the very least semi-official, thus satisfying G1 as being usable for the room name, Beta: D and C provide that B1, B2, and Alpha can be used to inform G1, in that we are still translating the name ourselves, Gamma: F and Beta allow us to use the name of the creature in KHBBS and the name of the creature in KH2 to dub/translate its name most accurately as "Lingering Will". And yes, I know that this is absolutely not the right form for mathematical proofs. PS: If we did not have Will's Cage to provide "Lingering Will", then "Lingering Remnant" would be the next best thing. While Lingering Sentiment is the most common term used in the fanbase, from what I remember it came from the same people who gave you "13 Mushroom" and "Two Across" as the name of the two KHIIFM keyblades.

Source. It's very close to just being an Unversed."We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 14:42, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Noting that Xehanort claims it is his mind."We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 02:27, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

Kingdom Hearts Concert -First Breath- Info

Why is the information from the concert keep g xeetting removed? Either keep the information or remove the section entirely. Hallowseve97 (talk) 04:05, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

Oooooor follow the wiki's policies, where we have a framework for the section inviting people to edit, but if material is noted not up to snuff, we comment it out to allow the editor to refine it?

As far as "why", the explanation is right there on the page and has been for a while."We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 04:32, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

The information was there though and whoever edited it summed up the translation that KHInsider and/or KH13 did.

"Lingering Will meets with Naminé, who had found her way to him by following Sora's heart. He wonders who she is and she explains that she is a witch who can manipulate memory. She also says she knows that he is bound by two hearts: Terra's and Xehanort's. She then reassures him that help is coming soon and she tells him to not give up and to keep on fighting. Lingering Will said, "Aqua, Ven!" as though talking to Naminé had made him remember their names."

Seems summed up perfectly. Maybe just needed some slight rewording. Hallowseve97 (talk) 15:52, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

Then it should be reworded and given a proper source before it's unhidden. But so far it is a great summary! :D Chainoffire 16:01, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

Okay, since people aren't reading them:

1. Cite to first breath concert, not fansite (credit translation to translator on our article for concert)
2. identify what it is "after"
3. rewrite with appropriate brevity

The section as currently worded will not be restored until those are dealt with. Right now, it is cited to a fansite, is not correctly placed into the timeline, and is a script regurgitation instead of simply focusing on the intent of the scene.204.11.142.106 20:58, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

KH3 Ultimania about LW

—What happened to the Lingering Will after the battle?

Nomura: When Terra was revived it caused the Will to vanish, and the armor disappeared. But Keyblade Wielder's armour is like a Keyblade in that even if it disappears, it can be summoned again so long as the wearer is in their usual condition.

So LW was still there untill Terra got revived. Which means the fight with Terra-Xehanort has gone to nowhere?

Mowing the Article

Shouldn't we have the Lingering Will be a "Sub-section?", "Second Article?", don't really know the name for it but to Terra. Similar to how we have Anti-Aqua to Aqua. also not related but does "Second Article" have an official name on the wiki. I'm kinda a noob on Wikis, also sorry for bad English ScandinavianViking (talk) 00:17, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

I believe the reason why we don’t have at it is for the same reason that we don’t have tabs on Nobodies and their sombodies: They are seperate beings. Anti-Aqua is still Aqua just infected with darkness while Lingering Will is an entirely new being similar to Nobodies and Heartless. - JTD95 (talk) 01:09, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

(The) Lingering Will

Regarding whether or not (the) Lingering Will has an article when being referred to, I don't believe it is ever referred to in-game or in the journal explicitly with or without the article, however I did see that in the interview given in the page (citation 1), Nomura refers to it as "the Will", so take of that what you will.

Isn’t that a fan translation though? One would have to look at the original version of the interview to consider whether it could be translated either way. - JTD95 (talk) 02:37, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

The Japanese language doesn't use words like "the", so interviews aren't going to help. TheSilentHero 12:42, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

EDIT: It seems that the cutscene in KH3 is called "The Lingering Will". TheSilentHero 13:01, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

If the cutscene is called that then I guess either version is fine. - JTD95 (talk) 23:27, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
