Keyblade Difference

Has anyone else noticed that in the gameplay videos for Birth by Sleep, the teeth of Ven's keyblade now face the other way. I only brought this up because the article says he strikes with the toothed edge, which, granted, he does in the original Birth by Sleep video. Insignificant, I know, just something that's been bugging me. Adaxredael 23:33, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Ven left-handed?

It is very strange for someone state that Ven is left-handed, as seen in the secret teaser trailer the Gathering and secret teaser trailer Birth by Sleep. Especially when we have all seen that Ven holds his Keyblade in his right hand in Birth by Sleep game play. I don't even see how that little bit was even put on his page when there is even a picture of Ven holding his Keyblade in his right hand.. The teaser videos may lay down the ground work, but it is rather silly to reference them as factual. Were I am getting is that the little bit on Ven being a lefty should be modified.

Kthnxbai.

Ven seems to be ambidextrous, just like Roxas. Hyperwre_2.0 08:10, November 26, 2009 (UTC)

Ventus' and Roxas' Themes

I was really hoping that someone would put not only Ventus' theme in the article but that is sounds like a more complex variation of Roxas' theme.

and also how is it that some of you have these really awesome "template" thingies (I have no idea what they are called) that have a picture and a quote in a speech box? How can I make one? Under The Heavens 14:21, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

a question

Firaga44 - Everyone's favorite anime nerd is back and kicking!Well not everyone's favorite but you people get the idea >.< TALK - All i hear during that cutscene blah blah blah. I have a question.When did they say that in english that Jesse Mccartney is gonna voice Ven?(just wondering).

Is that even confirmed yet? If it's not it shouldn't be on the page...

The Wikipedia says he is going voice Ven, but I dunno. I hope so.--NinjaSheik 20:04, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

I wouldnt mind...but has it been confirmed?! aah oh well. it believable i mean rly it just seems like all he has to do is make "The Roxas Voice" n and make it sound a lil younger. (i still havnt gotten over the fact that its Jesse Mccartney who voiced Roxas....but whatever) -Xero

Jesse McCartney just said the following on Twitter:

"Recording yet another Kingdom Hearts Game. All you Gamers eat your heart out! Man what a process tho. First recordin was in 2005 for game 1"

(Yes, I follow him on twitter, don't judge me T_T)

https://twitter.com/JesseMcCartney/status/6211849278

Anyway, since it's very unlikely that this would be for Roxas (They've already covered every moment of Roxas' existence from Birth to Reuinion) I think it's pretty safe to assume he's talking about Ven. I know it's not 100% confirmation, but its pretty strong evidence that Jesse is voicing Ventus. Which I'm excited about :D --Zephyrus11 20:57, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

YAHOO~! JESSE'S GOING TO VOICE FOR VEN!! YAY~!--NinjaSheik 21:18, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

The Armor

the part of the article about the armor needs to be edited. In the TGS 2009 trailer when he is riding his keyblade the armor is different colors, and recent scans show him wearing the same colored armor from the trailer. The cape has also been removed

Hmmmm...i was just wondering that. i HAVE seen Ven in 2 or 3 diffrnt armor colors. lets see...trailer one. scans...oh thats two. still. odd isnt it?

Ventus Awakening?

maggosh Strike backwards... — "That's a nice expression." You're terrified, aren't you? Indeed it is.

Appearances

HarpieSiren - Here's one for all of us TALK - It will keep us connected Maggosh's most recent edit just got me thinking. Considering that it's not actually Ven, but rather Xigbar seeing Xion as Ven, does Days really count as an appearance?

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? Cameo appearance maybe.

That doesn't make sense why make Ventus first appear in Days I mean his first appearce is The Gathering. I mean the first appearce means where they first appear I mean like Stich first appeared in Lilo and Stich movie not Kingdom Hearts II. So Ventus should be The Gathering not Days. --Cococrash11 03:29, December 22, 2009 (UTC)Cococrash11

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? We don't count The Gathering or the Birth by Sleep video because they are non-canon.

Then why is roxas 1st appearance deep dive :/ ?--Ataradesu 01:20, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

maggosh Strike backwards... — "That's a nice expression." You're terrified, aren't you? I'm guessing it was like that before we started fretting about this.

Ataradesu]] Qu'as-tu fait à son coeur ? Shouldn't we change Roxas then ? putting him in COM ? it's the exact same thing, both appeared in secret movies, both appeared in spin off games briefly before having their own game where they were playable.

maggosh Strike backwards... — "That's a nice expression." You're terrified, aren't you? No, not CoM. KHII.

He did appear in CoM, actually appeared unlike Ven in Days who was basically just a hallucination on the part of another character.HarpieSiren 01:45, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

maggosh Strike backwards... — "That's a nice expression." You're terrified, aren't you? So we change Ven's to BbS, then?

That sounds like a plan. HarpieSiren 01:48, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

maggosh Strike backwards... — "That's a nice expression." You're terrified, aren't you? Same with Terra and Aqua, too?

You do mean BBS the game, right? Just wanna be 100% sure.HarpieSiren 01:56, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

maggosh Strike backwards... — "That's a nice expression." You're terrified, aren't you? Of course the game. :P

^^;; That's what I thought.HarpieSiren 01:57, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

Ataradesu]] Qu'as-tu fait à son coeur ? Seems fair enough since "BBS video" is the climax of the game, just with amazing graphics, BBS game will show their true first appearance.

KrytenKoro - Pinocchio with his nose attached to the trigger of a rifle, which points at his face as he says, "I want to live!" TALK - The game template includes times when the subject was just shown or mentioned. It doesn't have to be a physical appearance, or Xehanort wouldn't show up in KHII, for instance.

Ataradesu]] Qu'as-tu fait à son coeur ? No, Xehanort is a flash back, that shows a physical appearance of him. It's not an hallucination where the character doesn't even act or talk.

KrytenKoro - You should have figured out whether bodies age without their hearts, Nomura. TALK - The nature of Xion is that that appearance was a flashback as well; plus, Xigbar mentions Ventus in the reports.

Chihuahuaman What did i do!? What did YOU do!?!? — 15:20, October 2, 2010 (UTC) Should Ventus, Aqua and Terra's appearances be added to KH II? They were after all in the secret ending of both KH II and FM+. So can they be added or not?

Xabryn - I don't care if you're real!You're not better! TALK - It's nice to have darkness on my side.{{{time}}} The secret videos are non-canon

Chihuahuaman What did i do!? What did YOU do!?!? — 18:36, October 2, 2010 (UTC) Non-canon? As if. That is at the end of the game. The only difference is that they are cape-less. How in the worlds is that non-canon?

Xabryn - I don't care if you're real!You're not better! TALK - It's nice to have darkness on my side.{{{time}}} I believe that it is because secret endings are usually only an idea of Nomura for another KH like Another side Another story many thing changed, in the gathering many things changed too in Birth by Sleep not many things changed only the capes, Keyblades and Terra's eyes turning Yellow but it is still non-canon

Chihuahuaman What did i do!? What did YOU do!?!? — 19:11, October 2, 2010 (UTC) But they still appeared in the game. All they have to do is appear in the game and they get the symbol on their page. If you still disagree than talk to someone like Lapis.

Xabryn - I don't care if you're real!You're not better! TALK - It's nice to have darkness on my side.{{{time}}} Read his second comment in this section he also says that The Gathering and BBS are non-Canon

Chihuahuaman I herd u liek UNVERSED MUDKIPZ! — 19:26, October 2, 2010 (UTC) I admit defeat good sir....... You have won this day.

File:Sephiroth.jpg

Sephiroth - Tell me what you cherish most...give me the pleasure of taking it away. TALK - Shall I give you dispair? One of my friends said that square enix is beginning to repeat their characters(cuz of roxas and ven looking so much alike), what do you all think?

mode change

in the new jump festa 2010 trailer, the wingblade seem to develop from speed rave also, the swords (vertical rays of light) from roxas' final limit comes from speed rave, doesn't it

NeutraVega Talk to me, you triple zero!. — "3, 22⁄7, 333⁄106, 355⁄113, 103993/33102...'." *Cue echo SFX* Hmm. Hmmmmmmm! HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!! Nah. Not really.

Xemnas?

OKay, how do we know that Xemnas sees Xion as Ven? I can't remember that being in Days. I remember Xigbar, but not Xemnas. Can someone clarify?--User:PrincessAndie8thprincessofheart/sig 20:57, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

In the Secret reports. Xigbar comments that both of them see her as Ven, and I think Xemnas might mention it too.--Lapis ofthe Night 21:36, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

Xehanort'SPOILERS'

[1]Does this mean that Ventus used to be Master Xehanort's apprentice before he created Vanitas.--Masgrande 03:40, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

Yup. It seems that Xehanort was putting Ven in a life-or-death situation, hoping he'd call on dark power, but nope. So he went ahead and made Vanitas.—Urutapu 03:51, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

but something bothers me, if vanitas killed ventus at the same time as he and he x-blade died, that means he was stronger than ventus. if he is ventus's darkness and yet he is stronger than him (wich is his light) so ventus originally had kind of a darkness afinity (like terra or riku) because his darkness was more powerfull than his light?--you and I will have to join together! 02:13, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

Trivia section needs some work

Several, if not all, of the entries in Ventus's trivia section aren't really trivia in-so-far as they are matter-of-fact statements made about the character as well as including unverified research and spoilers. Some of this information could be integrated into the article or disposed of.

Neverfate 17:56, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Keyblade Graveyard

Isn't Ventus's homeworld Keyblade Graveyard? I mean his awakeing's back ground is the Keyblade Graveyard. Beside Ventus just met Terra, and Aqua after Master Xehanort created Vanitas. So Land of Departure isn't Ventus's homeworld but the Keyblade Graveyard. --Cococrash11 07:55, January 23, 2010 (UTC)Cococrash11

I think when it says Homeworld, it means the world they primarily live in, not the one they were born in. In that sence Land of Departure is his home. Dellcath 20:31, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

Ven wasn't even born in the Keyblade Graveyard, I don't know where you're getting that. Just because it's on his Awakening, doesn't mean it's his homeworld. I think we can all agree that we don't know enough about the Awakening to make those assumptions.--Nitrous X 22:26, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Master Xehanort didn't mention when or where he met Ventus. Not even mentions in Xehanort's Report it only says he met him like destiny. MX train Ventus in Keyblade Graveyard. He didn't even visit Land of Departure or Destiny Island before when his heart was shattered by MX. Also the Princess of Hearts' Belle, Snow White, Cinderlla, Aurora, Sora shows background of the sceneary of the homeworld. If you still aren't convined atleast put LOD in other residence since you guys aren't even sure which homeworld he's on. --Cococrash11 01:43, March 31, 2010 (UTC)Cococrash11

Nomura said he was from Destiny Islands.Glorious CHAOS! 04:20, March 31, 2010 (UTC)

He did? Which interview was this? --Neumannz 03:00, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

The Ultimania, if I remember correctly. I'll try to find a link.

Nope, nevermind, I misread. It was him confirming Xehanort.Glorious CHAOS! 04:41, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Theme

Here's the link to Ventus' Theme[2]. Should it be included somewhere in the article? The Yoshiman 97 01:01, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

I agree... but i myself don't know how :( P456 21:17, March 18, 2010 (UTC)

I don't know how to do it either... The Yoshiman 97 22:46, March 18, 2010 (UTC)

Me neither you should ask KrytenKoro--Xabryn 22:50, March 18, 2010 (UTC)

Is there a reason

behind Ven wielding his Keyblade in reverse? It's pretty unique and makes him the only character in the series, aside from Saïx, to fight in this manor.XYZ. 21:11, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

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. — 12:50, June 20, 2010 (UTC) I'm not really sure, but the makers of BBS might've wanted for the person to play as something different, not just a clone of Sora or Roxas.

"Our hearts are connected are my power!"

Just what is that supposed to mean? Can someone fix the quote so that it makes at least some grammatical sense? LapisScarab Good tidings, friends. Today is a momentous day. I am pleased to announce that a new comrade has been chosen to wear the coat. — 21:15, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

Where are you looking? I see "Our connected hearts are my power" on the page. --Neumannz 21:18, April 23, 2010 (UTC) [facepalm] Ugh, fail on my part.--Lapis ofthe Night 21:20, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

If Vantias is the darkness from Ven's heart...

Does this not make Ventus' heart pure, and therefore, him a 'prince of heart'? Would be an interesting plot point later on, I think. Silvermistshadow 05:56, May 2, 2010 (UTC)

Not exactly. The extraction of darkness from his heart seriously screwed up Ventus Kaihedgie 07:09, May 2, 2010 (UTC)

I disagree that Ventus could be a prince of heart, as every princess of heart is born with a pure heart, whereas Ven has had the darkness take out of his heart and was not born with a pure heart. Also, this topic is more suitable for a forum rather then Ventus's discussion page. 07:25, May 2, 2010 (UTC) Danjam

But in that same instance, Ventus' body acts just like a Princess of Heart when they lose their hearts, unlike Sora, who lost his body (which made Roxas) and became a Heartless. Ventus was more like Kairi, especially once the darkness was removed. We also have no idea what makes any girl (since as seen from Kairi and Alice) into a Princess of Heart, so if what makes them Princesses of Heart the removal of their darkness then it's completely plausible. KyrianXVII 19:50, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

Ven & Roxas

I know that Sora's and Ven's hearts are connected, but I don't know how that justifies Roxas looking(and most likely sounding) the exact same as Ven. How is this possible? In simple terms PLEASE. 169.139.1.20 15:40, May 27, 2010 (UTC)DialgaMan, the master of Time

In the Interview in the BBS Ultimania with Nomura it's mentioned, that Ventus' heart formed Roxas' body when Sora stabbed himself with the Keyblade of People's Heart. So the heart was with Roxas all the time and that's why he looks almost as Ventus and has feelings even though he is a Nobody. ----ShardofTruth 15:50, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

I've got a question based on the Sora's Heartless page, where it says that Sora, beginning after he stabbed himself with the Keyblade of People's Hearts and continuing through Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and into the end of Roxas's Kingdom Hearts II had been a Heartless the entire time and that Kairi's heart recreated his body. So if Roxas had Ventus's heart, where was Sora's heart? KyrianXVII 17:29, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

Inside Sora's recreated heart. Sora becomes a heartless, he had his heart in that pat but his body was made of darkness, when Kairi hugs him the body made of darkness becomes a body made of light and thisbody takes the shape of Sora just like Sora's original body took the shape of Ventus--Xabryn 17:47, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

Well, Roxas had the body. Sora just had the heart, and Kairi gave him some light so he could look human again.Glorious CHAOS! 17:51, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

So Sora always had his heart, even though he was a Heartless? KyrianXVII 17:54, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

A heartless always have is original heart, but he don't have the original body and Soul--Xabryn 17:57, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

Ohh...thanks, both of you. KyrianXVII 18:05, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

Wait a sec

--74.240.76.53 16:39, June 17, 2010 (UTC)hold up one minute,IF roxas had vens heart and sora had his own heart,what the FRIG was the point of them joining again?was it because of soras memories?this confuses me greatly.......I mean if roxas had a heart even though he was a nobody wouldnt he notice this?well maybe not since he really wouldnt know how to notice.....,but still this theory negates the need for them to be in one body..... --LostTranslations74.240.76.53 16:39, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

It was Ven's heart, but still Sora's body that made Roxas. It was because of that and the fact that Sora's memories were rebuilt in Roxas that Roxas needed to return to Sora. KyrianXVII 19:53, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

Jesse McCartney

Last time I checked, Ven's voice actor was going to be Jesse McCartney but now it is "to be announced?" What disproved Jesse McCartney to be Ven's voice actor? I thought he was confirmed. SeanWheeler 01:51, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

He never said who he was voicing, just that he'd finished the voicework. People just made an assumption and said it was so. - EternalNothingnessXIII 01:57, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

Sounds a lot like his voice in the recent Gameplay trailers. --Lordrogersmith6485 05:01, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

"He sounds like him" is in no way a valid source. We aren't putting McCartney as the VA until there's an explicit, written statement confirming him to be voicing Ventus. It's really just a formality, but it's one we're maintaining.LapisLazuliScarab05:51, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with LapisScarab. I did a voice test and Roxas and Ventus sound exactly alike, but it just wouldn't be right for us to put Jesse McCartney's name to it unless it's official. KyrianXVII 00:44, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Still wondering

Didn't Nomura say in an interview that there was a reason behind Ventus' unique way of holding his Keyblade? And that the reason would be explained in BbS? Did that ever happen?--ΧƳƵach. 22:44, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

Fever pitch and the lock

Erry - Let me think about it. TALK - Scherzo Di Notte ~ {{{time}}} So I was wondering, this page is locked because of the extreme editing of adding Jesse as voice actor? Also, in the Ven Gameplay video on the SE E3 '10 website, it shows 'Fever Pitch' for Ven instead of Speed Rave, so if someone could add that in.

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? Yes, that's why it's locked. We know that it's basically confirmed, but as a formality we're keeping it as N/A until an official statement is released. Unfortunately, so many people decided not to respect that formality that we had to lock the page.

...Yes... there is a picture on the article showing exactly that...LapisLazuliScarab18:31, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

Just some small things of interest..

I noticed that Xion is called a Sora replica numerous times in this article and that's just kind of wrong. She is called a replica of the keyblade wielder's nobody by Axel and her page even calls her a Roxas replica. So I know it's not that important but I think it should be fixed.

Also nothing really big here but one of the Xehanort's Report from BBS tell us that Ventus was originally going to be the body Xehanort stole. For that to happen he had to weaken Ven's heart by making him use darkness. But once Ven opted to have the crap beat out of him by neoshadows instead of use his darkness he realised Ven was a lost caused and changed his plan to use him in the X-blade project.

I mean it's not important or anything but I think it make good triva.--24.7.239.218 04:31, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

Spoilers

Falcos - You've done it, Ventus. TALK - Now that my body is about to perish... You and I will have to join together! Can someone please fix up the spoiler templates? There is both a picture and a shotlock that are spoilers, and I'm sure there's more.

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. I don't see what you're referring to.

Falcos - You've done it, Ventus. TALK - Now that my body is about to perish... You and I will have to join together! The last pic in the gallery is a spoiler.

Idea

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. Not sure were to bring this up. We've been squabbling over the non-canon-ness of the secret videos, and whether characters appearing in them can get the game symbol at the top of the page. It's been established that secret videos in games do not count as canon, thus no game symbol. Why not create a game icon for the secret videos as well? To put on the {{Game}} template? Just a thought.

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 - I don't remember the other opinions, but my own view on why they should not count is that it confuses canon - if we had a video symbol, it would still imply that Roxas's appearances included Deep Dive, which I'd personally want to corral in its own article (He wasn't even Roxas at that point). That's just my view, though.

Of course he was Roxas at that point. How can he not be himself?--BlueHawk1995 11:31, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

I think KrytenKoro was saying that they hadn't named or clarified who he was when they did Deep Dive. Just like we didn't know who Terra, Ven and Aqua were until Birth By Sleep came out. He was Roxas, but nobody knew who he was or anything about him. KyrianXVII 13:09, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

No, I'm saying that Nomura has point-blank said "originally he was just a cool-looking blond kid, but we eventually decided to combine him with "Roxas" into KHII." When Deep Dive was made, Nomura wasn't even planning on making a sequel to KH.Glorious CHAOS! 15:18, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

Roxas' rings in the Opening

Ventus wears Roxas' rings in the japanese opening. This was edited in the english opening. Is Ventus' Cg render based off Roxas' and they forgot to edit the rings in the japanese OP? 84.113.21.53 14:31, September 9, 2010 (UTC)

Why does Ven use his keyblade in reverse grip?

I was wondering exactly why does Ven use his keyblade in reverse grip hes the ONLY key bearer to use their weapon in reverse!74.103.8.60 20:12, September 11, 2010 (UTC)13 keyblades

Cononically, there's no explaination, but it's probably just a habit of Ven's.LapisLazuliScarab20:15, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

It also looks better combined with his style of fighting. Randomnessity The Fiend of Earth, who drains and decays the soil itself.

Yeah your probly right.74.103.8.60 15:25, September 12, 2010 (UTC)13Keyblades

What does it matter, I fight with a style similar to Ven's and as a kid I was one of the best out of all my friends. I'd be terrible now for the sheer fact that the last time I picked up a sword was when I turned 16. That was over 5 years ago.76.108.136.28 22:06, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

Ventus's body

What happenend to Ventus's body after that he was placed in the Chambers of Waking ? His heart is by Sora, but where is Ventus's body? {{subst:User:Secret agent clank/sig}} 13:31, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

UxieLover1994 Tiempo de morder de nuevo con el poder! El tema de hoy: su sorpresa! — 13:44, September 16, 2010 (UTC) READ THE PAGES! He is asleep at the Castle Oblivion.

Ok Ok, I get it. {{subst:User:Secret agent clank/sig}} 16:17, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

What confuses me actually more about Ventus' fate is why he even fell comatose after losing his heart and that Aqua then could carry him around. When Ven defeated Vanitas for the final time his heart should be complete again (he gained back the 'dark parts' which were stolen to form Vanitas) so his heart shouldn't be pure light anymore. So why wasn't a heartless and Nobody created? Even if Ven has probably the smallest amount of darkness in his heart we have seen so far in any male in the series...after Vanitas destruction he should have his little darkness back and therefore don't go comatose like a princess of heart. 93.223.141.155 11:33, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

Roxnick867 - My friends are my power, and I'm theirs! TALK - I'm asking you as a friend, just... put an end to me. 10:48pm, Sept,24?10 ven went in to a comatose-like state because his heart was destroyed when the X-blade was destroyed because his heart was part of the x-blade, and the reason a heartless and nobody weren't created is because ven's heart wasnt swallowed by darkness the darkness was removed so it wasnt the proper conditions to make one.

Thanks, but wait a moment, i know he 'lost' his heart because of the x-blade, but it can't be 'destroyed' since his heart later found refuge inside of Sora's heart, something that is destroyed can't roam through the universe and then contact another heart. Ventus should have his darkness back after the final defeat of Vanitas since he completed/repaired his own heart (signified by his awakening station changing form). His now again completed heart was however immediately lost after cuz Aqua smashed the x-blade. Well, that he didn't create a heartless and nobody cuz his heart wasn't overcome by darkness sounds quite reasonable. Does this mean that when an existence loses it's heart it doesn't necessarily mean always the creation of an heartless? Only if the lost heart is overcome by darkness it becomes a heartless and otherwise it goes directly back to Kingdom Hearts? Man...the overall story is getting really somewhat confusing...93.223.186.47 11:01, September 25, 2010 (UTC)

17master - Hey, guys, check out my new camera! TALK - Oh wait, this isn't a camera... - 11:19, September 25, 2010 (UTC) If a heart is consumed by darkness, it'll turn into a Heartless. And I think the hearts returned to Kingdom Hearts because their original body is gone. Then again, I'm kind of confused on how did Sora get his body back

KyrianXVII - Riku? I defeated a Riku once... TALK - {{{time}}} Sora got his own body back because of his rejoining Roxas. What is little known is that from when Sora lost his heart after fighting Riku-Ansem all the way until Sora's stasis and rejoining with Roxas is that he was a Heartless. He only gained his "original body" because of Kairi's light due to her being a Princess of the Light.

Why Don't They See It?

KyrianXVII - Riku? I defeated a Riku once... TALK - {{{time}}} I don't have a PSP so I can't actually play BBS, but I've been watching gameplay videos online and a question popped up in my head. Of all these characters who've seen Ven, do they not recognize Roxas in the same way? I mean, admittedly, some characters may not have seen either Ven or Roxas, and I can't comment on some of them (as I haven't played BBS either) but still I wonder. People like King Mickey and Donald and Goofy have seen both Ven and Roxas (or at least a picture of Roxas). I know it's been ten years, but if I see two people who look so much alike, I'd like to think I'd stop and say, "Hmmm...I've seen him before." Especially when the person was a good friend (i.e. Ven and King Mickey).

At the exact same time as Roxas was out there, Namine was diddling with Sora's memories, which means both Sora's head and every memory related to Sora got mixed up.(ಠ_ೃ) Bully! 18:51, October 13, 2010 (UTC)

I don't think Mickey ever saw Roxas. And when they're looking at that picture, Sora interrupts Goofy and says "this is Roxas", so who knows what they remember. --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 18:58, October 13, 2010 (UTC)

I can understand why it seems odd Mickey doesn't even somewhat recognize Ven in Roxas. Mickey seemed to care a lot about Ven in BBS during the end of Aqua's scenario and with all of them suddenly disappearing, you'd think Mickey would remember them or at least their basic appearance, so it does seem a little far fetched the idea of Mickey just not recognizing him in all those years, considering he mentions in Re:Coded both Ven and Terra. Its similar with Xehanort, Mickey doesn't remember Xehanort despite being trained by Yen Sid, fighting his apprentice, talking to Yen Sid several times about them, and seeing his many incarnations at once. He didn't even remember Xehanort in the flashback with Ansem the Wise, you'd think Aqua or Yen Sid would've mentioned something, even off-screen or otherwise Mickey's left pretty much in the dark for most of the Kingdom Hearts universe.

KyrianXVII Sorry Aqua, but I can't go with you I have to find him before it's too late! I swear I'll bring him back safe. {{{ven}}}

Namine. Diddled. Sora. That's the explanation.(ಠ_ೃ) Bully! 03:50, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

Heheh, "diddled".

Seriously, though, not everyone had been affected, right? The only people who met Ven who also actually met Roxas were Phil, Tinker Bell, Pete, and Organization members I-VIII. I can understand how Phil and Pete might be affected, and Tinker Bell has no attention span anyway, but why did, say, Axel not recognize him--especially before Namine did her business? --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 04:10, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

KyrianXVII - Riku? I defeated a Riku once... TALK - {{{time}}} and as far as this diddling thing, it was to fix Sora and making people remember him. Namine put things back the way they were, so Ventus should still be there in their memories.

Chihuahuaman What did i do!? What did YOU do!?!? — 01:16, October 16, 2010 (UTC) No speculation! That aside, when Namine messed with Sora's memories everyone forgot sora. When it was fixed, they all remembered Sora (mostly) execpt Kairi. That is kind of it so.....

KyrianXVII - Riku? I defeated a Riku once... TALK - {{{time}}} I thought that was the point of a talk page: to question and debate these things. And to correct you, everyone remembered Sora at the same time. So when Kairi remembered Sora in the game, at the exact same time Leon and the gang and everyone else remembered Sora too. And I hope I don't sound rude (and if I do I am extremely sorry) but what did that little tidbit of information have to do with the question at hand?

Whoever has seen him will probably notice. Xigbar remembers Ven AND Roxas, which is evident during his conversation with Sora in TWTNW. But yes, it is weird that NOBODY else remembers him. But in the Saix article (I'm not fucked to put those things above the "i" every time) it states that he thinks that friendship between nobodies is possible, as long as they have memories to fall back on. This may be why Axel became friends with Roxas so fast, it may be subconscious though, as he didn't really know Ven that well. Also, about the Phil and Pete are not very bright to begin with though. LiLLiPaDDy ~True tears are never seen, only hidden~ 13:02, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

I thought I might as well put in what I think: As far as I know Mickey only sees the Data Roxas in Coded and after that he rushes to Yen Sid saying that he's found out where Ven's heart is. Donald and Goofy only really met Ven in passing and have only seen a picture of Roxas so they might not have made a connection or forgot what Ven looks like or both, Axel befriends Roxas in the blink of an eye so even if he forgot about Ven, Ven might have had an influence over Axel's subconscience. Saix, well we never really know what goes through his mind other than wanting to have his heart back, so I really can't say as to him. Dilan, Aeleus, Even, and Ienzo only meet him for about a second so they most likely forgot about him. Finally Xemnas most likely remembers him because of his past with him and we know Xigbar remembers him which is why I made the assumption about Xemnas but then again with the exception of Xigbar.LightoftheDarkness 23:51, November 27, 2010 (UTC)

Arkward cutscene

In the cutscene in which Ven takes out the wooden Keyblade Terra gave him, where the hell was he keeping that thing?! This may sound immature, but it appears as if he pulls it out of his... yeah... So if anyone can explain where the hell the kept it to me, it would be much appreciated. LiLLiPaDDy ~True tears are never seen, only hidden~ 12:55, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

dude.......... It could be from his side pocket or somewhere ^{What mattered most} _{was remembered least}

Exactly how deep do you think a pocket is? That would require the pocket to go down further than his knee, and past half of his shin. Honestly, I just think that it was an epic fail design choice that was overlooked. It's kinda like when the characters pull ice cream out of no where, it's not like they'd put THAT in their pocket.

KyrianXVII - Riku? I defeated a Riku once... TALK - {{{time}}} What you may want to do is check out the manga comic if they make it. They might address that effect, since in there Sora doesn't summon the keyblade, he tucks it in his belt. In any other event, as an RPG, you can't really question that...if that was the case, Sora shouldn't be able to carry all of that stuff everywhere with him.

Problems with trivia

i dont see why and they don't even try to explain themselves, but i added a trivial fact. Ven is the only one in birth by sleep who met all 6 apprentices of ansem the wise. Aeleus, Dilan (gaurds) ienzo and Vexen (scientists) and Braig in the keyblade graveyard and of course xehanort, but before he became his apprentice.

If you disagree, please add your reasoning in your edits.Bijinder 00 01:07, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

The trivia you added stated "Ven is the only character that has met all 6 of Ansem the Wise's Apprentices", this is not true because a)while he has met MX and Terra seperately, he has never met Xehanort, who is considered to be a seperate character, and B) because of course Ansem the Wise has met all 6 of them--ShadowsTwilight 01:17, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

THey're the same person with different circumstances, so I'll change that. Despite that, it was clearly obvious the trivia was referring to gameplay-wise not circumstantial.Bijinder 00 01:23, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

Which means it's pretty stupid to mention at all. If it's not true all the way, and it's not unique, then it's like saying "Water is the only thing that's blue, except really its mostly transparent and there are a lot of other things that are blue."(ಠ_ೃ) Bully! 01:27, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

But it is true, but story and gameplay. only you guys tend to focus on the exceptions. Ventus out of the three protagonist, Aqua and Terra was the only one who met all of Ansem the wise's apprentices. And trivia even comes in when something is controversial, so something not true all the way can be entered in the trivia section.Bijinder 00 01:33, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

Maybe that's the rule on other wikis, but it sure aint the rule here. Chitalian8 01:34, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

You're not even speaking for this wiki, are you? Point is, i edited so it would be more acceptable to you guys, and even if it isn't and you guys understood what i meant, or another editor meant, you have to find a way to work around it, not just bluntly revert without reasoning. this one was easily avoidable, it was true, and it was trivia-worthy. the only problem was wording, and i do beleive some of you, guys were "playing dumb", because it was easy to understand the fact, just not worded rightBijinder 00 01:40, December 7, 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. — 01:45, December 7, 2010 (UTC)   It's still not noteworthy. It's basically saying Ventus is the only protagonist who encounters Dilan, Aeleus, Even and Ienzo. That's great and all, but the encounters are already under "Story", and it's not really remarkable. Not to mention he's the only protagonist to encounter Donald and Goofy. Not to mention Aqua's the only one to encounter Hades. Not to mention Ven's the only one not to meet the Fairy Godmother. Etc. They're just not significant enough, even for trivia.

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? By the way, are you sure they didn't leave an edit summary? Check the edit history, it may have just not shown up. Wikia's been having issues with that lately.

Neumannz — Looks like I'm gonna have to jump...! TALK — I work alone! Except when I work with Xion...which is all the time. — 01:53, December 7, 2010 (UTC)   I'm seeing lots of edit summaries, but I'm looking at the Recent Changes page.

Dark Master - You need it memorized. TALK - {{{time}}} Ventus has not met all of Ansem's apprentince since the current Xehanort is not like the original in carnation any more, Ventus has only met the original incarnation of Xehanort the new incarnation is a different person since Master Xheanort's influence is now dormant.

Are you guys making this up? Donald and goofy encountered both aqua and ven. Hades encountered both terra and aqua. Plus fairy Godmother is a disney original, not a kh original, it's not the same. Disney is more circumstantial depending on how relevant the situation was. Ventus meeting the 5 apprentice was important, especially with braig and even. Think about this is the same as ventus being the only to see vanitas face, except for Master xehanort also being one.

As for the edit summaries, i as talking about the initial revertBijinder 00 01:56, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

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. — 02:00, December 7, 2010 (UTC) Neumannz means that there are a million things that we could put under trivias that are like the ones that you put up. For example "Sora was the one who defeated all Org. 13 members, not counting Axel and Riku." It's the same idea.

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? Neumannz was just making a point. The information is already noted in the story section, just not in the way you wanted. Instead of one trivia point that says "Ven has met the original five apprentices" the Story section describes how he meets each one as it happens. There's no reason for the trivia to be there, it's redundant. On a side note, the idea that the Fairy Godmother "doesn't count" because she's a Disney character is just stupid. Characters are characters. And where is there a trivia point saying that Ven is the only one to see Vanitas' face? Okay, I removed that, thanks for pointing it out.

Wikipedia is better, because they highly discourage, "pointy" remarks. I'm saying Disney is circumstantial. Depending on how relevant it was in the series. Fairy Godmother, barely plays a role in BBS, and considering each went there separate ways, i would say that there were plenty of characters to do such thing. Whats the difference between one disney character and a group of kh originals? that much is what i say.

You're all think shallowly, you're not looking at it deeper, you give examples that don't even fit to this exact circumstance. For example, Sora was the one and only protagonist in the series, anyone who was defeated in kh2 would have to be sora. And please dont make some smart-mouth remark such "what about riku and roxas". you get the idea i'm trying to tell you.

AS for this particular situation, Ventus met ALL 5. Aqua and Terra has met 1 in particular, Braig. In fact that could be a trivia fact on his page. "Braig is the only apprentice to meet all 3 protagonist in birth by sleep". But beside the point, Ventus met all of them, that's a worthy trivial fact, he didn't just meet one. Out of the 3, terra and aqua, ventus met them. Sure, a few disney characters were left out, but again, i say it depends on how relevant they were. the same applies to kh too, such as "Riku is the only one out of the trio to not meet hayner pence and ollette" now that's something that isn't note worthy, because those characters barely played any role, and only met sora and kairi for a brief moment. Unlike ventus, ventus left an impression on all 5. and their meeting was hinted in BBS, and days.Bijinder 00 02:13, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? You're only able to make what you're saying true by tacking on ludicrous technicalities like "except Ansem", "except Riku", etc. If you have to attach a conditional to make it true, it's not unique--ergo, not trivia worthy. That's how trivia works on this Wiki. By the by, Braig has met all six too if you tack on the conditional "if you count Braig as having met himself". See? We can play this game with anything. Lastly, as I said before, this information is all in the article already, it's just in the Story section instead of trivia. The only difference is that it's not highlighted for no reason like you're trying to make it. EDIT: And why did you start talking about Wikipedia all of a sudden. This isn't Wikipedia, and we really don't care how they do things there.

Not exactly, the story doesn't state, ventus was the only one, and again, you're jumping the gun without properly thinking. Ont of the three protagonist, ventus was the only one, it was just a description problem, not a factual one. Clearly, it's true, and wont be highlighted anywhere else, and it is trivia. And you guys have added speculation on the trivia sections in the past, and are presently left untouched. You guys are doing "playing dirty" discussion. I mention one fact, when circumstances change, you still stick to the first one to prove your point, and when someone does make a point, yo water it down to something less worthy, and say it as such.Bijinder 00 02:27, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

Chitalian8 Kudos! — I owe you no more explanations! Only destruction! Talking back? Has hell frozen over? — 02:31, December 7, 2010 (UTC) You're the one who's not properly thinking. You're creating an unnecessary piece of trivia, and we give you clear and concise reasons as to why it's not allowed, you just give us a bullcrap response. And I quote, "Sure a few disney characters were left out, but again, i say it depends on how relevant they were... those characters barely played any role." That's not the way it works. No matter what role the character plays, it is taken into account.

Neumannz — Looks like I'm gonna have to jump...! TALK — I work alone! Except when I work with Xion...which is all the time. — 02:34, December 7, 2010 (UTC)   EDIT CONFLICT: I have absolutely no idea what you mean by "circumstantial". If you mean "inconsequential in terms of the overall series", that's a subjective and rather silly criterion. Besides, the Fairy Godmother has about the same significance as Phil, if less screentime. (I also have no idea what you mean by "pointy", but that's irrelevent.) I don't know what you;re trying to explain in your second paragraph. It is not significant that Ven is the only one to meet all 5. It is significant that he met them, but that's in "Story". Besides, how much of an impression do you think Ven had on Dilan or Aeleus? Basically, you don't get to decide who's more significant than whom.

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? Yes, it is true... once you add a conditional like "the only protagonist" (which is, again, not true; Ansem the Wise is a protagonist; you mean he was the only playable character, which is still just another conditional). We're not perfect. If there's speculation in trivia, let us know and we'll remove it. We've been sticking to the exact same points through this whole thing. 1) Your trivia piece is only technically correct. 1.5) The rule on this Wiki regarding Trivia is that if it's not unique, it's not worth mentioning as trivia. Addin technicalities prove it isn't unique. 2) This information is already in the article. Since you clearly don't want to read it, here: "Shortly after, the Star Shard sends the two of them both to Radiant Garden, and Ven tries to follow Mickey, only to be intercepted by Aeleus and Dilan." "His search is interrupted again, when he spots Ienzo being attacked by the Unversed. Without any hesitation, Ventus protects the boy and defeats his attackers. Even arrives shortly after and thanks Ventus for his help. Then, when asked about Terra's location, he tells Ven to look in the Outer Gardens." "Braig quickly appears and fights Aqua. Stalling long enough, Braig withdraws from the battle." The only difference is that it is not highlighted, i.e. not made a big deal of because it isn't a big deal. There' no reason to point out that he's the only one who meets them, largely because heisn't. Also, you're adding "unnecessary" "air quotes" a lot.

Also some, unnecessary commas. --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 02:41, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

see what did i say about playing dirty?

So if it's taken account, then i suppose every piece of trivia related to them should be added? Again, you guys say it's not noteworthy, because you can do that to any character, but each of them have different circumstances like I've said before. And again like I've said before, you guys have even less noteworthy trivia on other articles, this one seems legit, but you're downgrading it more than what it actually is, because you don't dare to look deeper into it.

Aqua's has almost the exact same situation, but mentioning different characters and more detail.Bijinder 00 02:42, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? Did you read what I piut before? If there's other trivia violating this, just tell us and we'll look into it. We're not perfect. If you mean that all the trivia shuld be integrated into the article, that's exactly what we do. Trivia here is something that simply cannot fit anywhere else in the article; we merge it wherever possible.

BUt then again, this one doesn't fit. and there is a big difference from mentioning it on trivia, and implying it on the story. But i personally, think you guys twisted trivia, like chitalian said, you guys, intentionally work differntly, i suggest you guys get closer to . But it does get irritating, when you see conflict of interest.

Scarab removed one obvious one, but didn't remove the one that is practically the same as this one. Aqua meeting Sora Riku and Kairi, due to terra only meeting riku and ventus vaguely meeting Sora a few times.Bijinder 00 02:54, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

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. — 02:57, December 7, 2010 (UTC) The thing about the Aqua trivia is that there are no technicalities, making it a unique trivia.

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? How is there a big difference? The information is there either way. That trivia point is different in that it is true without the use of any nonsense technicalities. Aqua is the only one to meet all three. And what do you mean by "twisted trivia" and "conflict of interest"? You're the only (for lack of a better word) dissenter in this discussion. EDIT: Actually, come to think of it, that trivia piece is unneeded because the information is also contained in the Story section. But do you see the difference? It didn't need to tack on "Except blah blah blah" or "along with so-and-so" to be true.

sigh.....i keep trying to post it, but too much edit conflicts, disrupt it. like I've said i changed it to make it have no technicalities, without the word "except" in it. Either way, you know theres a difference between implying it and directly saying it. for one, in order to actually imply that trivia, you would have to read all 3, not just one page. Aqua met sora, riku and kairi, does it say she was the only one to meet all3 from the 3 protagonist? no, you would have to read terra and ven's too. thats the difference, a big difference, and i'm pretty sure you saw this coming.Bijinder 00 03:07, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

I didn't expect that anyone would so lazy to actually complain about having to read the articles on the Wiki.

Don't flatter yourself, not everyone reads every little detail in the wiki's. Readers aren't stupid, but they most certainly aren't always ready to read everything this wiki has to offer. And the trivial fact, will not be remembered so easily. the only ones who know are the ones who played it, but not everyone on the wiki has played the game. The implication is far more vague and much more difficult to detect.Bijinder 00 03:17, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? So they can read the sections of the article that the information would be in. This isn't complicated. If they wanted to know if Aqua met Sora, Riku, and Kairi, they'd look in the Story section, because it is unlikely to be in another section. I'm not suggesting that they read every little detail; they read the little details that they're interested in. If something is a "trivial fact" that will "not be remembered so easily", then it wasn't important to begin with. That's what "trivial" means. As I said before, Trivia on this Wiki is only meant for things that don't fit into other sections of the page. And what on Earth do you mean by "the only ones who know are the ones who play the game"? They'll know and so will anyone who read the articles like they're flippng supposed to. Of course not everyone has played the game, that's why we wrtie these articles. Take me for example; Before I got KHII, the first game in the series I got, I read basically everything about it on this Wiki.

But thats not the point in trivia. we don't post things people are going to look for. we post what doesn't fit in exactly to the story , and technically it's not in the story. It's implying it by with 3 others.Bijinder 00 03:31, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

It's literally in the Story that Aqua meets Sora, Riku, and Kairi, and that Ven meets Braig, Dilan, Aeleus, Even, and Ienzo. You just repeated what I said; Trivia is for things that don't fit into other sections, and the trivia points you keep bringing up do fit into the story section.

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? I have no idea what you're talking about. You barely make any sense, to be honest. "You know what I mean" is just a cop-out response when you don't have an explaination.

maggosh ...the flint is struck. — "Maybe I should punish you after all." "Come on! Show a little backbone!" Okay, I just got back from a two-and-a-half hour meeting; am I to assume Bijinder's been borderline trolling in that time?

EDIT CONFLICT: Sure, what you meant is "somewhere it should say that Aqua's the only one who meets, etcetera", but that's the last signnificant part of the whole thing. It is not our resposibility to point out the implications of every little point of the story, only the important ones; this does not qualify.

@MAggosh: yeah, pretty much. --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 03:46, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

KrytenKoro - "That's when we bumped into Hannity. Sean Hannity. See the thing about this dude is, at first he's fair, right? And you're like "Wow!" But then BOOM. The dude's balanced, too. And you're like, HOLY SHIT." TALK - How about this, Bijinder - trivia sections are terrible, awful things that are strong evidence that God likes pissing with us, and sees at least some humor in human suffering (as long as it's temporal). They train human minds to be lazy, and only swallow hollywood-insider class snippets of information about a topic, totally devoid of context or understanding, and their overall impact is to result in people putting less effort into actual learning because they think they know the "interesting tidbits". ...soooo, given that, why is this trivia point necessary? In what way does it improve human understanding of the universe well enough to overcome the damage it causes to the advancement of civilization?

i'm gonna ignorr, krytenkoro due to him being the real troll, @LapisScarab, it's obvious, don't make it seem like you can't understand it. What i'm saying is super simple, and if you don't understand, you would've asked something by now, which you haven't. lets say i want to learn something about ventus, not directly on storyline, not something properly explained. i got to trivia section, and there it is. I dont know "ventus met all 5 apprentices" and not everyone (certainly not most) will be reading all 3 stories to find something they didn't know. thats the difference, story implies and a vague implication. And not everyone will be looking for it because they won't know what they're looking for exactly. thats the difference between the story section and the trivia section. big difference. don't understand? ask questions.

@Neumannz, the last significant part in the story section. not in the trivia section, anything can go n there as long as it's trivia relating to the character. but then again, you guys change opinion. first you say not relevant, but then switch to already explained in the story which both controversial.Bijinder 00 03:58, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

...Can you rewrite that? --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 04:01, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

Hahaha...no, I was being deadly serious. Anyone who wants to take things from the existing sections and splooge them over a "trivia" section is essentially a vandal. A truly perfect wiki, or tome of any kind, has no trivia sections. To be in the trivia section, something must be truly important and notable, but totally incompatible with the other sections. That's our policy, and always has been - no amount of calling the editors names is going to change that.

Seriously though, you're saying you "want to know what Ventus did", but it's too hard to browse the section that is literally "things Ventus did"? That pretty well explains how you got to the end of the article without finding this thing out.(ಠ_ೃ) Bully! 04:05, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

no, that's not what i'm trying to say krytenkoro. looking for things that are implied, but too difficult, because they're not exactly implied, just something people can know about if you really looked for it.

trivia section can have anything as long as it's trivia and doesn't fit in directly into other sections, you guys are indecisive with your reasoning against it, first it's wasn't true, now it has exceptions in it, then you guys say it's not important enough while the other says it's mentioned in the plot (not really).Bijinder 00 04:10, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

17master - Nothing is true Everything is permitted TALK - Vittoria Agli Assassini! ~ {{{time}}} EDIT CONFLICT:Sorry to jump in, but you're the one that's troll here, Bijinder. Most of the people WILL read all the three stories since they wanna know what's going on, that's their reason to come to this wiki in the first place: To get infos'. And besides that 3 story thing is ridiculous, why would you find that out about Ven by visiting the other article? the article itself explained that Ventus had met the apprentices, that's why the trivia is said to be redundant. And the policies for the trivia here is different than the other wiki, it's that simple: follow the rules. And from my point of view, you should be the one asking questions by now, Bijinder.

"Ventus is the only character whose name starts with "Ven"".

That is a true thing that has no qualifiers, and is completely unique. In every way, it is superior to what you are trying to add. It is, however, absolutely redundant to the article, and truly worthless and mind-numbing. Your argument, however, says that it should be in the trivia section.

Ventus meeting five of the six apprentices is not implied, it is outright stated. It's also reiterated on the story sections in each apprentice's article.

Our reasoning has been completely consistent - we don't allow qualifiers, we don't allow non-unique trivia, and we don't allow meaningless trivia. These are all policy on this wiki, and are followed as best as we can without outright banning new editors.

"First it wasn't true" - because it wasn't. You said Ventus met Apprentice Xehanort, which is a patent lie.

"Now it has exceptions in it" - because it always has - Ansem, Xehanort, Braig, Dilan, Even, Aeleus, and Ienzo, at the least, met all of these same people, and since you are relying on cutscenes for Ventus meeting them, any other cutscene or story-bit is fair game as well.

"It's not important enough" - it really isn't. Trivia notes should be truly exceptional, like the Roxas mural which showed him as a 20-year old, and was used as prominent advertising for Days.

"It's mentioned in the plot" - It is. It's just mentioned in a way that assumes that the reader can, well, read. I'm not making fun of small children or foreign readers here, but if you can't read more than a paragraph of English, this wiki isn't the place for you.

Again, I bring back my water example: "Water is the only thing that's blue, except it's mostly transparent and tons of other things are blue." This analogy fits exactly to the trivia note you are trying to add.(ಠ_ೃ) Bully! 04:21, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? Okay, see the first half of that statement is what I'm talking about. I have no clue what you're trying to get across with that. I'm not feigning ignorance; I'm seriously having a hard time comprehendin what you're trying to say half the time. For the umpteenth time, that is not how Trivia sections work on this Wiki. Trivia on this Wiki is something that cannot fit into any other section on the article. We weren't being indecisive, there were just a crapton of reasons not to have that trivia point; One was that it wasn't true (it wasn't and still is't true that Ven is the only character to meet all five), adding conditionals and technicalities means it isn't unique and, by this Wiki's definition of Trivia, not Trivia-worthy, it really isn't all that important, and (most importantly, in my opinion) it is already mentioned in the article. Yes really. Read the damn article. I'm not saying this for my own benefit, the information you are trying to add is literally in the Story section.

Like i've said before, theres a difference, a clear as day, right in your face difference. the story will not tell you ventus was the only one out of the 3 to meet ansem the wises's apprentice. you can't tell the difference between "ventus met all 5 of ansem the wises's apprentices" from "ventus was the only one out of the 3 protagonist to meet all 5 protagonist"?

you guys state policy, but no link? i don't think you have a written policy. And, although it fits, this isn't a wiki about water, so the circumstances change, plus this is more story-driven, than factual. who represents water and who is blue? if it fits, then please elaborate a little better.

And yes, you were indecisive because your reasoning contradict another. and there is no technicality, it's just that it was vague, and i didn't explain it right. when i did, that's when you started to mention all this other stuffBijinder 00 04:34, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

It's not relevant to Ventus, honestly. He doesn't care that he's the only one who met five out of the six of them. On their pages, it mentions the one's they met, so there's that. It's also a textbook example of negative information - instead of presenting pure facts, it interpolates from "what wasn't", introducing tidbits that, in the end, are not important.

We have Template:Trivia. We have this, this, and the Manual of Style

It is a wiki about Water, actually.

"Water" is Ventus, "Blue" is "met the five protagonists", "is actually transparent" is the fact that Master Xehanort is a totally different, though to be fair spiritually related character.

I think you're confusing "you are so wrong that there are a multitude of blatant faults with your claim" for "we keep changing our mind when you prove our criticisms wrong, oh sublime master."(ಠ_ೃ) Bully! 04:43, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

JFHavoc Talk to Me! — What do you have against me? I'm sorry, I didn't know your jaw would fall off. — 07:41, December 7, 2010 (UTC) This really has gone too far. Bijinder, you seem like a reasonable guy. You seem like you're legitimately trying to improve this wiki and it's content with your contributions. But right now you're trying to add an incorrect piece of information to the article. Others have stated it before, but I'll state it again: Ventus did not meet all six apprentices. Considering none of the three protagonists in BBS met Xehanort you could say that Ventus was the only one to meet the other five apprentices, but this is already written down in the story section for all the characters. You're saying: "What if someone came to the wiki just to find out if any of them met all the apprentices? Well then sure, they'd have to do a little bit of something called research. Reading honestly isn't that hard, it's quite easy actually. If you don't enjoy reading then that's too bad, you may want to get your facts somewhere else. If it really came down to it they could ask on Yahoo or Wikianswers. But we don't actually want trivia sections in our articles. We place them there because there are some pieces of information that wouldn't fit into other sections of the article that we feel need to be said. And this fact is stated. It's just not put in bright, bold, flashing text. Your contributions are appreciated, but this argument really needs to come to a close.

reading isn't hard in general, but reading everything an article has to offer is different. again, although people can and some people will, not everyone and certainly not most non-wikia users read everything. Again, i changed it so there weren't technicalities like Xehanort, and Xehanort (Ansem the wise's apprentice) isn't someone different from Master Xehanort and/or Terra. And no, the idea isn't to go and read something you already know or took account of. Though, i can see why trivia isn't acceptable, in wikipedia, you guys will have to come to terms with it.Like i said, give link to your policy (if you really have one). And edit it, so you can be more strict about things.Bijinder 00 16:39, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

ARGH.

We have Template:Trivia. We have this, this, and the Manual of Style

And again, if you have to qualify it to remove technicalities, THEN IT'S NO GOOD.

WE DON'T HAVE TO COME TO TERM WITH ANYBODY BUT THIS WIKI, BY ITSELF.

If people don't care enough to read the page, then they don't care that Ven is the only one that meats the 5 apprentices. Your trivia is just that inconsequential.

Why don't you try reading carefully, so we can stop having to repeat ourselves? --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 16:49, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

This is not' wikipedia for Pete's sake. ^{What mattered most} _{was remembered least}

Ok, I'm now positive, you guys, are just making this up. For one, you guys have no official policy. you brought to forums, a trivia section that has barely anything in it, and Manual of Style, i've read it before. ANd what do you mean "If I remove the technicalities, then it's not good" that was the point of one your arguments. that was one oyur main points. NOw you're saying if i made it so there weren't technicalities, then that's also a reason why it's no good? And, I never said this was wikipedia. Are you even reading everything right? You guys have been inconsistent, from the beginning. why don't you make a real policy section. a guideline isn't a policy, and neither are those other sectionsBijinder 00 16:58, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

Argh. You are not removing technicalities. There is no way you can remove technicalities. You are just pointing them out. They are still there. Hence, you didn't fix anything. If there are exceptions, then there's no uniqueness, then the trivia is still a bad trivia. --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 17:05, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

ANd why is that? Why is there no way, that i can't remove technicalities. And again, there definitively is unique, just not well-written in the first place, and wasn't properly explained.Bijinder 00 17:14, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

Can you just except the fct that you lost this battle 12 hours ago and move on with your life, it's not that big of a deal--ShadowsTwilight 17:28, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

i only lost in numbers, not within reasoning. still, i suggest you make a policy. not mention a non-existent one.Bijinder 00 17:33, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

EDIT CONFLICT: True, if you had, unecessary comma, written it better, it would have had a better chance of going unnoticed (though not by much).

But by having to add limitations and exceptions, you make the item contrived and forced. Let's say it would have been significant if Ven had been the only one to meet all of Ansem's apprentices. The fact that he didn't meet Xehanort and the fact that Terra and Aqua also met Braig make it untrue. Making it instead that Ven was the only one to meet Dilan, Aeleus, Even and Ienzo makes it far less significant, notable, and interesting.

But, you say, he was the only one to meet all five. That's as if you said, "Aqua is the only protagonist to meet both Jaq and the Fairy Godmother." It's true, and it's even well written, but it's contrived, silly, and purile. --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 17:39, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

I don't think you even understood the trivia. How does that disprove it? That's like saying "I met all 5 characters, but it's not true because one or two other people met only one of them". Again, it would depend on the relevance in plot. there's a big difference between 5 ansem the wise apprentices (characters prominent in kh timeline that were relevant during BBS time) then Jaq and Fairy Godmother (characters, not needed to know about during the events of BBS). But then again, you guys don't want trivia, although this is a legit one, you guys wont have it for your preference in relevance.Bijinder 00 17:59, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

Bijinder - if you try to remove the technicalities from your bit, it becomes false. If you add the technicalities, it becomes non-unique. Either of these mean that the trivia is not acceptable.

Also, the Manual of Style is official, written policy, and it states everything we've been saying here.

Community consensus arrived at through forums, or even talk pages, is official policy. We don't have to draft a constitution to create rules. This is a wiki - so long as the community at large agrees on a policy, it is official.

No, you lost in reasoning. We have provided multiple reasons why the trivia bit is moronic, contradictory, and useless, and have even provided links to written policy and community consensus. Your refusal to accept the face that you are blatantly wrong is on no-one's hands but your own.

Let me just state this here, since apparently authority is needed here - the trivia will not be placed. No change that you make to it will make it acceptable. Nothing you say or do will change this decision. End of story.(ಠ_ೃ) Bully! 17:42, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

not really, what i meant to say is, that i rewrite it so there is no technicality.Bijinder 00 17:59, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

When you rewrite it you're not removing technicalities you're hiding them. They're still there. And if you make it a separate fact on it's own that separate fact isn't remarkable enough to be in the Trivia section. -- 20:14, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

maggosh ...the flint is struck. — "Maybe I should punish you after all." "Come on! Show a little backbone!" The trivia will not be placed. No change that you make to it will make it acceptable. Nothing you say or do will change this decision. End of story. Repetition for emphasis.

that's not true, you probably didn't even read it yourself. Out of the three protagonist, (terra, ven, aqua) Ventus was the only one who met all 5 apprentices. no technicality, no nothing. and trivia doesn't need to be remarkable.Bijinder 00 20:24, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

Of course it has to be remarkable, otherwise it could be anything, like "Terra is the tallest protagonist in the series." Your trivia is straight out unremarkable. Which is to say, there's no point in making a remark about it. There is nothing remarkable in Ventus being the only one to meet all five of those people. You can say any character was the only one to meet a specific set of people (e.g., Aqua was the only one who encountered both Prince Philip and Maleficent), but if that set is arbitrary--as it is here, since you are discounting Xehanort, who Ven didn't meet, and including Braig, who everyone met--then it has no meaning. --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 21:19, December 7, 2010 (UTC)
