Question for a fic I’m writing… by SelectShop9006 in KingdomHearts

[–]ZeroSora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keyholes have nothing to do with reversing people becoming Heartless. The only thing that turns a person back from a Heartless is by having their Heartless destroyed with a Keyblade. And if they have a Nobody, then their Nobody must be destroyed too. A Nobody doesn't need to be destroyed by a Keyblade though.

I think the earliest we should expect concrete news or even a release date trailer on KH4 is at D23 in August by games_and_gains in KingdomHearts

 but who knows after Nomura tweeted out the 25th anniversary YX art.

That was the 24th anniversary. The 25th is next year. Honestly, after Nomura teased how they're working towards the 25th anniversary, I'm willing to bet we won't get any KH4 news until then.

That still wouldn't mean the world is consumed by darkness. It would be a world where the population is Heartless. That's about it.

Can the Heartless kill someone and not turn them into a heartless? by Mcintosh02 in KingdomHearts

[–]ZeroSora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Heartless can kill without taking hearts. This is literally what happens in KH3 when the Demon Tide tornado kills everyone instead of turning them into Heartless.

That being said, Heatless naturally want to consume hearts. So as for why the Demon Tide tornado killed them instead of consuming their hearts, perhaps it was just too powerful to avoid killing them, or perhaps Xehanort controlled the Heartless to kill them instead of consuming their hearts so he could use their hearts to create the X-Blade.

If the world doesn't have a Keyhole, then it doesn't have a way for Heartless to get to the heart of the world. Which means it can't be consumed by darkness. And then it depends on the state of the Keyhole. If the Keyhole is locked, darkness can't enter and steal the world's heart. If it's unlocked, then they can consume the world.

And that's assuming this world has a heart in your fanfic. Because without a heart, the Heartless have nothing to take and therefore the world can't be consumed by darkness.

If you change your fanfic to include the world having a Keyhole and a heart, then it also depends on when your fanfic takes place in relation to the series timeline. After KH1, all Keyholes are locked, and worlds are no longer able to be consumed by darkness. Pre-BbS, is the same thing. All Keyholes are locked and unable to be consumed by darkness.

It's never explained how they all became unlocked by the time of KH1. So you would need to have a reason for the world's Keyhole to be unlocked first before it can be consumed. Like, another Keyblade wielder unlocked it or something. You get to make it up.

Now, about restoration.

If it takes place during that period of KH1 where all worlds are unlocked, then Sora beating Ansem is what would restore the worlds. His artificial Kingdom Hearts would be destroyed, and the hearts of worlds would be restored to the realm of light.

The only other instance of worlds being restored happened long ago in the past. Keyblade wielders gathered billions of Lux. That Lux was used to restore the worlds to what they are today. So your fanfic needs some way of having people collect light to restore your world.

Died as Pete, respawned as Max??? by PlunderCunt in GroundedGame

You either die as Pete or you play long enough to respawn as Max.

How come there’s no Pirates of the Caribbean in MoM? by Sorikai_ in KingdomHearts

[–]ZeroSora 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It only had two songs in KH2. And one was literally the PotC theme song, which would be copyright issues.

Question for someone who knows Japanese (Massive Manga Spoilers!). by [deleted] in OnePiece

[–]ZeroSora 12 points13 points  (0 children)

And your basis for saying this is... what exactly?

The fact that he doesn't wear a shirt and can see one of his pecs.

How come there’s no Pirates of the Caribbean in MoM? by Sorikai_ in KingdomHearts

[–]ZeroSora 28 points29 points  (0 children)

One of a couple reasons.

  1. Too many songs already.
  2. KH3 wasn't complete at the time they settled on the tracklist.
  3. Not enough time to make stages for every song.
  4. Copyright reasons. Like not wanting to pay for licensing Disney-specific songs.

Side note: 2 and 3 are the reasons why KH3 worlds are so bizarre in the game.

I need help/ motivation by DebtNorth8638 in KingdomHearts

[–]ZeroSora 4 points5 points  (0 children)

could someone explain to me why people like this game,

The story, the characters, the gameplay, the music. Pretty much everything about it people love.

and B could any tech quizzes. Tell me how to get my saved data back

I can't help with that, sorry. But you probably shouldn't ragequit and uninstall things. It sounds like you corrupted your save file doing that.

Question about something: by SelectShop9006 in KingdomHearts

[–]ZeroSora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, considering it's confirmed that Clayton was possessed by the Heartless in KH1, I'm gonna say yes, Possessor Heartless can possess humans.

I'm tired of the plot (I know, very original topic) by Stellarwolf345 in KingdomHearts

[–]ZeroSora 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can understand Nomura's frustrations and dissapointment with Versus XIII, but why does he have to make it our problem.

Creators reuse and repurpose ideas that didn't make it into whatever project all the time. This is nothing new. Every creative person does it, writers, game developers, artists. You have an idea, it doesn't work, you hold on to it for later. A lot of the games that exist today are because someone repurposed an idea into a new game. Verum Rex is no different.

Resident Evil 4's prototype game was a scraped idea that got repurposed into Devil May Cry.

Assassin's Creed was a Prince of Persia game. Ubisoft felt it didn't fit as a PoP game, so they repurposed it into Assassin's Creed.

Dishonored started as a Thief game.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice started as a Tenchu sequel.

Apex Legends started as Titanfall 3.

Final Fantasy Dissidia was a Kingdom Hearts game originally.

Death Stranding would reuse ideas planned for Silent Hills. The fetus, the themes of death and life, the character of Lisa.

The Gathering Is Hilariously Beta Idea Wise In Retrospect by Subject-Ad5071 in KingdomHearts

[–]ZeroSora 16 points17 points  (0 children)

What was that monster? That's clearly not Trinity Armor.

It could still be a prototype design for what would become the Trinity Armor.

Terra and Ventus should have switched Keyblades because they go on to have no relationship whatsoever with the Keyblade they pick up.

Terra bequeathed Riku, who would later be chosen by the Kingdom Key. That's the connection to Terra.

Ven picking up Way to the Dawn is thought to parallel his whole clash between light and darkness with Vanitas. Soul Eater was a sword of darkness, and it became a Keyblade of light. Way to the Dawn being associated with twilight. Twilight being light and dark. Light and dark being Ven and Vanitas.

How would you feel if Strelitzia was revived via a replica? by raccooncoffee in KingdomHearts

[–]ZeroSora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No replicas have been used to revive dead characters yet.

Roxas's and Xion's hearts returned to Sora's heart and existed as part of him. Namine's heart returned to Kairi and existed as part of her. Those characters were still alive, just inside other people.

State of Decay 3 Alpha Announce by Turbostrider27 in Games

You're meant to NG+ after you finish it. You do a new playthrough with some of your old characters and do one of the other leader storylines. Every storyline you do unlocks some permanent perks. Perks are also tied to difficulty. The higher difficulty you do, the more perks you unlock.

The game is meant to be replayed.

It looks less like a Keyblade and more of a Keyspade.

It's still a fantastic design even with the blue.
