LAST PAGE OF BABBLE (sort of)  
So I made it a goal to finish Days tonight, since I've got lots of important stuff to focus on coming up starting HOLY CRAP TOMORROW, and luckily, I did finish.


- Uuuugh, yet another boss that sounds horribly unfun. :P
- Roxas is in dotlaaaand!
- "Roxas is having an off day! Level halved!" <-- WTF IS THIS
- Okay, horn Heartless have officially reached new levels of hate now.
- God DAMN whoever invented Solid Armors is going to get a punch in the crotch from me.
- Well at least the dang thing's gone now...
- Okay, so we made giant blocks fall from the ceiling...
- OOOOOOOHHHH I get what I'm supposed to do with the blocks now.
- Oh hey, I remember this room from KH1!
- Xion recognizes the Keyhole! Hello flashbaaaaack
- OH GREAT, INTERRUPTED BY BOSS BATTLE
- Wow, okay, I didn't even have to fight him. THANKS, XION! 8Db
- THAT'S THE POWER OF THE KEYBLADE, XION
- Dude you know, with all this when Roxas is weak, Xion is strong/when Sora is snoozing, Roxas is powerful sorta thing, this is kind of making me think that Sora is like the Highlander. THERE CAN BE ONLY OOOOOOONE
- Roxas: Axel is a jerk >:(((
- Wow Axel, no wonder you lost your only friends.
- Oh okay he did a little better there.
- Xigbar you big eavesdropper!
- XEMNAS YOU KNOW YOU KIND OF SUCK AT DUPLICATING PEOPLE :/
- Haha damn Xemnas, you really are an uncaring ass
- I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE, XIGBAR
- Dang, I was missing like ONE emblem in that mission, but I couldn't find it.
- Okay, considering that boss, that didn't go to badly.
- Yikes, three Wyvern bosses at once o_o
- Beat those guys! Aaaand yeah, don't feel like fighting an Invisible by my lonesome, so I'll be taking my treasure and going.
- Xaldin, how the hell do you go missing in Beast's Castle? YOU PRACTICALLY WROTE YOUR DISSERTATION ON IT.
- Hey, I came in the Ballroom through the roof! How'd I get down here?
- Geez, Xaldin must've been spending months hanging around the Beast! THAT'S A LITTLE OBSESSIVE THERE, XALDIN.
- Okay, at least I don't have to go into the mazes this time around.
- Dangit, I HATE when you're like THIS CLOSE to getting 100% on a mission and then the last thing you need is just completely missing. 8| Oh well, I want to advance plot.
- MASSIVE DAY JUMP! VERRAH CLOSE TO THE END NOW
- Poor torn Xion, damned either way :(
- Heeeere comes Kairi's theme!
- Wait, she's got some of Kairi's memories, too?
- XION, YOU ARE THE PUZZLE PIECE UNDER THE SOFA. 8(
- Riku: THIS IS LIKE THE SECOND TIME I'VE HAD TO HELP A REPLICA FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY'RE DOING. WHY ME. 8|
- But still, Riku was actually considerate there!
- Heartless in Halloween Town? IF IT'S RELATED TO THE LEECHGRAVE AT ALL, I'M NOT GOING. >8(
- Oh did you just send Roxas on a suicide mission, Saix
- Oh great, GIANT INVISIBLE. Terrific. Awesome. Stupendous.
- Wait, it's too powerful? I was doing okay against it! AT LEAST COMPARED TO THE GODDAMN LEECHGRAVE, ROXAS
- ....Orrrrrrr it could be Xion disguised as a giant Invisible srsly what the hell
- Well, Axel actually is truthful for once! Good on him
- Why do I have the feeling this will be the last the trio is together...
- YUP, WHEN YOU START UP THE SAD MUSIC, IT WILL BE.
- Sora: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
- Hooded!Xion is hooded again
- SIX Giant Heartless at once? Good thing I just boosted all my levels and my Keyblade...
- Xigbar what are you doin' now...
- VEEEEEEN IT'S VEN! VEN VEN VEN HI LITTLE VENTUS GO KICK SOME ASS UNTIL I CAN PLAY YOUR GAME OKAY
- VEN YAY IT'S VEN WHY DOES THIS MAKE ME SO HAPPY I DON'T EVEN KNOW BUT IT'S VENTUS GO PWN SOME NOBODY OKAY, BECAUSE YOU'RE A VEN AND YOU'RE CUTE
- ...EEEEEE VEN
- WHY WOULD YOU EVER DROWN VEN'S GOLDFISH THAT WOULD BE MEAN
- HAHAHAHA VEN JUST PWNED YOUR ASS
- Axel: OH SHITFUUUU--
- LOL Xigbar you're kind of a shorty
- Wow, I'm glad I upgraded my Keyblade, this one's a LOT more effective
- Oh damn, another guard armor.
- Lalala, lots of bosses to fight...
- DAMN, that's a big Wyvern.
- OKAY CANNOT EVEN FIGHT THAT THING, IT JUST KICKED ME IN THE HEAD AND I NEARLY DIED. MAYBE LATER BIG WYVERN GUY. 8(
- Axel: I BLAME XIGBAR FOR THIS MESS ENTIRELY
- ......Flamsilocks. LOOOOOOOL
- On Roxas you're the only one that thinks so. D:
- Roxas is not seeing the big picture BECAUSE NO ONE TELLS HIM ANYTHING ABOUT IT, INCLUDING YOU, AXEL
- Riku's theme! :O
- What, Luxord wasn't in on this?
- Xemas: AXEL, FETCH ME MY MISSING AMOEBA!
- Roxas: I dunwanna do your dumb mission anymore >:(
- Roxas: "I don't think Xion's safe here anymore." NO SHIT SHERLOCK
- Roxas, Axel has kind of been keeping a shitton of things from you.
- The device, eh? THE DEVICE HAS BEEN MODIFIED, ROXAS
- Wow, the device really HAS been modified.
- Oh THAT thing looks like a bucket of fun.
- ROXAS IS FINALLY FIGURING OUT THAT HE'S A PAWN D:
- ROXAS YOU SHOULD HAVE FIGURED THIS OUT LIKE A YEAR AGO
- YAAAY IT'S MICKEY
- And it's Rikunort! Does this mean he already fought with Roxas?
- Man seriously we haven't gotten to see Mickey ALL GAME
- Awwwww memories of Kairi are Sora's most special puzzle piece and it got lost under the couch--I mean Xion'd D:
- RIKU YOU ARE SO DEFEATIST
- LISTEN TO THE KIIIIING (but not Elvis)
- Okay come on I'm THREE DAYS away from the end, here...
- GOT THAT RIGHT, ROXAS
- GO SHOW HIM WHAT FOR
- OH JUST SPILL IT ALREADY, AXEL YOU BIG LIAR
- AXEL STOP SKIRTING AROUND THE ISSUE THIS IS WHY ROXAS GAVE YOU A BIG NADKICKING WHEN HE LEFT
- PWNED FOREVER. YOU DESERVED THAT, AXEL. Totally deserved it.
- Escape the castle? DO I HAVE TO BATTLE DUSKS NOW? Damn I better not have to battle Dusks.
- Yeah, considering this track record, I'm so not even stopping to battle Dusks.
- But I am getting stopped by a Saix...
- "We don't accept resignations." LOL
- DO I HAVE TO BATTLE HIM NOW. :(
- Well, a couple've limits finished him off fast!
- AAAAND THIS SCENE.
- Yup Axel, you pretty much fucked up big-time.
- TWO DAYS LEFT
- Xion meets Namine!
- Well that conveniently explains why no one ever speaks of her again, I guess?
- Although Xion's all accepting of having to go back into Sorabrains, huh. o_oa
- DiZ: HI I'M YOUR EARLY NOBODY WARNING SYSTEM
- Axel you're so very selfish
- I take it Xion last then. o_o
- Xemnas: HOORAY I'VE DESTROYED SO MANY LIVES TODAY
- DAY 357
- Twilight Town gang!
- Oh boy, I get the feeling I better save right now...
- I SENSE INCOMING FINAL BOSS BATTLE
- Yup pretty sure there is incoming boss battle
- EAT YOUR ICE CREAM BEFORE BATTLING
- DUN DA DUN DAH DUUUUUN IT IS A SORAFACE
- I knew that was coming, but it was still like OH WOW GIRL VOICE SORA FACE KINDA FUNKY
- ...Now she is giant armored Nobody huge thing UH OH
- Wonderland, the hell?
- Okay, beat that...
- NOW HALLOWEEN TOWN...THIS FORM IS SCARIER
- And now Agrabah and it's huge 8(
- WAIT I MEAN REALLY HUGE
- Are there only three forms? No more? I hope there's no more, that last one was freaky...
- NO THERE'S ANOTHER DDDD8
- But at least this boss music is super epic piano awesome
- LAST LIFE BAR COME ON LET'S GO
- YESSSSSSSSSS WINNAAAAAR
- Soooooob Xion sooob
- YEAH LET'S STICK IT TO XEMNAS AT LEAST
- Except Roxas will forget because yeah :(((((
- ONLY A SHELL IS LEFT BEHIND THAT IS THE SADDEST
- THE VERY LASTEST DAY
- Oh it's cooler if Roxas has Oathkeeper and--okay yeah he does now.
- FUCK YES THIS IS HOW I SHOULD'VE BEEN ABLE TO BATTLE THE WHOLE GAME
- OH NOMURA YOU DO SO LOVE THIS SCENE, DON'T YOU
- ...Okay, if nothing else, it's badass actually getting to play this scene.
- That's a pretty dang bold plan, Roxas.
- THEY DIDN'T MENTION THIS BOSS BATTLE!
- Oh wow that was OLDSCHOOL Dark Aura...
- TOP AND BOTTOM SCREEN DISCORD
- Roxas speaks in Soravoice :O
- WATCH OUT RIKU IS GOING TO GO RIKUNORT ON YOU
- Riku: I WAS NOT USING MY FULL POWER FOR MY FULL POWER IS STRONGER THAN YOUR POWER
- WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?!
- Riku that was kind of a cheap way to win...
- Xion vaniiiiiishes :(
- Man DiZ, you're so damn bitter. You need to get to that "OH YEAH I FUCKED UP" realization soon.
- SORA'S HEADSPACE REALLY IS CROWDED NOW
- A-awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww and now it's starting off KH2 with Roxas in the fake Twilight Town and he has a normal life for a short amount of time and cry cry D:
- WANTS TO GO TO THE BEACH YOU POOR THING 8(
- Aaaaaaaand roll credits!
- Wow, it really was Jesse this whole time...and Christopher Lee and HJO were voicing, too. :O And of course good ol' Quinton.
- You know, I hope there weren't any secret movies at the end of this, because no way did I get 100% on everything.
- Awwwww final shot is Roxas merging with Sora ;o;
- THE EEEEEND

OKAY SO I FINISHED. I will give a full-on report/final thoughts of the game as a whole tomorrow morning, when I'm more coherent. 'Cause I do have thoughts on all that. But for now, YAY I DID FINISH. MUST GO CRASH INTO BED AND BE BRIGHT AND CHIPPER TOMORROW.

*grins*

I love your play-by-play, because it seriously echoes my thoughts on it. Minus the cursing, crying and shaking my fist at the screen with the ending that you KNOW will happen with Roxas and TT and all but ; __ ;

And yes- Ven. I cheered several times. XDD VEN VEN VEN why do we love you so when we know NOTHING about you? XD

Squee, glad you enjoyed it!

I just had to pause the game to cheer a lot because I was all SO EXCITED FOR VEN. XD I have no clue why there's love, I guess because he looks like he's Sora's personality with Roxas's body? He just looks REALLY CUTE and like he's gonna get a tragic ending, too.

I knoooooooow. It's terrible that we can't write but at the same time I want to. I want to do more with Ven and Sora-- how they're connected.

I'm latched onto those first seven days of Roxas ... and what that means. An idea that it's Ventus those first seven days and Xemnas jacked his memory. D:

Oh man, I'd LOVE to think up a drabble on how Ven and Sora are connected, I just wish I knew a little more timeline-wise of where they stand.

Hmmm, I dunno! :Oa My theory has always been more that Ven's spirit somehow had to end up in Sora (probably in conjunction with that tragic ending), so when Roxas was formed, he took on the shape of Sora's original spirit.

Well, we know the game is about ten years before the start of the series...

I think he went to hide or something... or something happened with Sora and Ven was there or something. D: Could dish all sorts of angsty plotlines that wouldn't be part of the oh

dear god I hate my brain on how I can see it working and D: D: D:

but but... it wouldn't happen. BBS needs to come out now before the theories drive us all mad

Is it ten years, or is it earlier than that? It has to be at LEAST ten years because of the destruction of Hollow Bastion, but it could easily be even earlier than that. o_o

Oh, but theorizing is the fun part! XD

Riku: DiZ, he could feel Sora.

DiZ, that is the wrong meaning of felt, and you know it!

- ...EEEEEE VEN

XDD Did you know in advance that Ven cameo'd in this game?

- Yup Axel, you pretty much fucked up big-time.

HE. SURE. DID. *smacks him upside the head*

- ...Okay, if nothing else, it's badass actually getting to play this scene.

Playing out DeepDive was ridiculously AWESOME.

Xion dieing was miserable, everyone forgetting Xion was miserable, Xion vanishing from the bottom screen was miserable, Roxas waking up on Day 359 without any memory of the friends he wanted to cherish so much was miserable, running up to the train station wanting to go to the beach was miserable. Miserble miserable game LOL.

BBS NOW PLS?

Yes, I did know that he was making a cameo, but I was still squeeing a lot when he showed up because I was excited to see him. 8D

IT SEEMS A LOT OF AXEL'S LIFE WAS A SERIES OF FUCKUPS. 8(

It WAS fun. Seriously, why couldn't we have battled like that through most of the game?

THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS THAT IT SUCKS A LOT TO HAVE NO HEART. D8

...YEAH I'D LOVE ME SOME BBS RIGHT ABOUT NOW

OKAY BASICALLY: the Organization usually sees Xion differently. Most of the time they see her with the hood up, because she originally had a blank face. Roxas is the first one who starts to see her as Xion. HOWEVER, in ONE scene, Xigbar is actually battling with her and he sees her as Ven (and it's Ven, NOT Roxas, since it's in Ven's clothes and everything) and Xigbar is talking as if he's met Ven before.

Wait, why was Ven in the game?

Axel, I think I'm starting to hate you just from reading this. T_T

Grats on finishing~

[identity profile] cp-jacksparrow.livejournal.com on October 8th, 2009 05:41 pm (UTC)
I still love Axel, but this game does prove once and for all that, though he did care for Roxas and Xion, he was in no way the greatest friend to them, as he never could fully break the "me first!" attitude he and his original best friend Saix shared.

Axel to Xion (about her and Roxas): You two think you can do whatever you want...well, I'm sick of it! Go on, you just keep running! But I'll always be there to BRING YOU BACK!

Geez, Axel, possesive much?
(Reply) (Parent) (Link)
[identity profile] lynxgriffin.livejournal.com on October 8th, 2009 05:58 pm (UTC)
Ven was in the game because sometimes Organization members see Xion differently (usually they see her as hooded), but there was a scene where Xigbar sees her appearing as Ven.

Yeeeah, Axel screws up pretty dang bad through his own selfishness. But I suppose, in the end it's ALWAYS been about #1 with Axel.

Thankyew!

Well, he did kind of redeem himself in KH2 when he sacrificed himself to let Sora get through the Dusks (I think it was the Dusks anyway), at least he did in my opinion.

Yer welcome~

[identity profile] lynxgriffin.livejournal.com on October 9th, 2009 12:08 am (UTC)
That's true, he DID do that, I think that's when he realized that he did screw up and wasn't getting Roxas back (and ALSO that was him giving a final EFF YOU to the Organization, allowing Sora in so he could take down the rest of them.)

Y'know, I actually thought this game was gonna suck at first. I mean, focus on the Organization...ESPECIALLY Axel and Roxas? Fanwank material waiting to happen. Not to mention promotional material seemed to just keep on making Xion look like an honest-to-God Mary Sue in keeping with the actual definition of the word.

But now I've played it; the Organization is well portrayed and it actually makes it much harder to deny that they were indeed evil, Axel and Roxas didn't have alot of ship bait until the very end there when Axel got all obsessive, and Xion's Mary Sue qualities were a front to disguise what a damn twisted character she was (not to mention geuninely sad...*sob*)

I've learned my lesson; until the end result, keep faith in the Kingdom Hearts series! (Of course, I'm already expecting much from Birth By Sleep. Seriously, it looks...beyond awesome.)

I'll finish typing up my thoughts tonight on the game as a whole (I think it was the weakest game in the KH series so far, but most of that was because of the gameplay and less because of the story), but yeah, Xion wasn't NEARLY as bad as the promos made her out to be, and there was plenty in there to counter what could have been nothing but ship bait.

I like how they portrayed some Organization members (particularly Demyx and Saix), although I actually think it made it pretty clear that they were a lot more evil than not...NO one except Roxas (and Axel when it suited him) gave any sort of concern for their fellow Nobodies; pretty much everyone treated everyone else as an asset rather than an ally. But they did flesh out the personality on a few people.

Now Birth By Sleep I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO looking forward to, holy craaaaap!

"(I think it was the weakest game in the KH series so far, but most of that was because of the gameplay and less because of the story)"

If you mean the weakest game state-wise, then yeah, I agree (from what I've seen of it, Coded seems even weaker due to being heavily limited since it's a cell phone game, but it's doubtful we'll get it here since cell phone games in general seem to be strictly big in Japan.)

"Xion wasn't NEARLY as bad as the promos made her out to be"

Yeah, the promos just kept on focusing on her and making it look like she was completely stealing the game from Roxas. But playing it, I must say the game is definately still Roxas' game, and Xion's just a crucial part of his development.

"and there was plenty in there to counter what could have been nothing but ship bait."

Yeah, Axel saying that love like the Beast's and Belle's is different from love between best friends kind of helps die some of it down.

"But they did flesh out the personality on a few people."

Yeah; Xemnas and Saix were already pretty firmly established in KH2, but Demyx, Xaldin, Luxord and Xigbar were just so...vague, especially when compared to the likes of, say, Vexen, Larxene, and Marluxia. You just didn't get much of a sense of who they are and what they're all about; this game changes that.

"Now Birth By Sleep I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO looking forward to, holy craaaaap!"

Really, promotion for this game just keeps topping itself. More of Neverland than in KH or 358/2 Days? A freaking Stitch world in outer space? I am SO THERE.

Oh yeah, I don't even count the cell phone games, because those seem more like sidequests than actual games. I'll never get Japan's obsession with cell phones. \o_O/

I suppose Nomura always likes to go off on HEY CHECK OUT THE NEW CHARACTER HERE! But it's a little different out of context.

Dude, what looks REALLY awesome to me is also the fact that apparently you can summon any Disney character you've met into any world...so you can have Cinderella fighting with you in Neverland. 8D That is SUPER BADASS. Also, Aqua (and all three of them really) look sooooo interesting...
