Revision as of 15:53, 10 August 2008
The simulated Twilight Town is a world from Kingdom Hearts II.
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.
Roxas' Story
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.
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.
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."
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 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
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.
Enemies
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.

- Hayner0.jpg
- Seifer0.jpg

- KH2-Setzer.jpg
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.
Virtual or Reality
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Setzer is the Struggle champion in the virtual Twilight Town. In the real Twilight Town, it is Seifer.
- 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 stores aren't functional in the virtual Twilight Town, but are in the real Twilight Town.
- 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.
