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 - "Give a man a fire and he's warm for the day. But set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life." 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 - "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 - 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)

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
Multiple choice question posted by a confused HealerSpirit o_0 HealerSpirit 01:47, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

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 - "Hey, I want to settle down. And as soon as I find the right small group of girls, the seven or eight women who are right for me, my wandering days are over, buddy." 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 : Rikunort.png 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)

"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...)
