Hello. My name is Eternal Nothingness XIII, and I am a Moderator on this Wiki. I also have Op rights on the Wiki's IRC Channel. I have been a huge fan of the Kingdom Hearts series for some time now, and know a great deal about it, even attempting to make my own fan-additions to the series. I've been contributing to the Wiki since Summer, 2009, and I hope to continue making high-quality edits, as well as making many new friends, during my time here.
I first got into Kingdom Hearts at a park in my hometown. I saw a boy playing CoM, and he let me try it. I was hooked! I went to Disney World and managed to buy the game (didn't see it in local stores). After beating CoM, I learned of the PS2 Kingdom Hearts games. I later got them for Christmas about three or four years ago. Since then, I have become a living breathing KH expert.
I admit I was a little jelaous when I first discovered this Wiki, and wondered why I hadn't been the one to create it. I still am. I used to run my own Kingdom Hearts website that was my attempt at a Wiki, and used to use this site as a model for my articles there. But with enough begging, I finally convinced my parents to let me join the Wiki back on July 6th, 2009, under the name EndlessOblivionKH. Not liking this user name, I changed accounts to this one in August of the same year. Things started out rough, but they got better as I made friends and became close to them, as well as when I learned exactly how to use the Wiki properly. Since then, I have become one of the most dependable and loyal users here, and I plan to be for as long as my interest in the Kingdom Hearts series survives, forever!
You can expect multiple things from me on this Wiki in terms of my personality. A pure Organization XIII fan, it is no surprise that I am like each member in a way.... Here's how :
This part of my personality is more me, this one applying to real life. I have many personalities, each more in-depth than the ones above where I list how I'm like each member of the Organization...
I am very serious and hardly ever laugh. Why, you ask? It is mostly because of my rough past with the kids at school. I used to be quite popular and have many friends. Those friends betrayed me, and I never recovered from the pain I felt. This has turned me into quite a jerk, and almost everyone hates me. I am often teased, and this doesn't help at all. As of today, I only have one friend, whom I only see at church, that I rarely get together with. I am easy to anger, so it is best that you are careful of what you say around me. The slightest thing could tick me off. I am trying to patch up wounds between myself and my peers, and it is off to a rather splendid start if I do say so myself. The kids at school still act like I have 6 heads when I'm nice to them, so hopefully this stops as I continue my high school career. The way you can avoid this side of me? Let's just say that if you are decent to me, I tend to oblige.
I am sort of a brainiac. I have always done well in school in terms of academics, getting all A's, A+'s, A -'s, and the occasional B+. I am a teacher's pet, and win awards from time to time. It is because of my skills that I seem more mature than I really am...It is also why I have such a knowledge of Kingdom Hearts. I am able to grasp information perfectly. Very rarely do I seek a helping hand.
This is the side of me that I show very rarely. Beneath my heart's cold exterior, I am a warm, gentle, and caring person. I can be a good friend to those who show me friendship, and have a deep passion for art. I am always willing to lend a hand, and tend to be more this side of me when around animals. I always find myself filled with a soothing light when I go to church. I am also quite shy underneath, yet I am not afraid to get my opinions heard.
All in all, it takes a while to see the real me and earn my trust...but make friends with me, cyber or real, and that is a bond for life!

Eternal Nothingness XIII - You have to be strong. Strength of heart will carry you through the hardest of trials. TALK - Protect the things that matter. — 14:24, September 19, 2009 (UTC)
This is my normal talk bubble, used when serious.
Eternal Nothingness XIII - You will pay, Xehanort! Was my Master - no, my father, Eraqus not enough for you? Leave my friends alone! TALK - You monster! What are you after? — 14:24, September 19, 2009 (UTC)
This is my enraged talk bubble. Used when well past my boiling point, you do NOT want to see this one on your talk page.
Eternal Nothingness XIII - I'm not afraid of what the darkness holds now. Even if you do wrest control of my heart from me, even if you cast me into the deepest, darkest abyss, you'll never sway me from the one cause that pushes me to keep on fighting. Whatever the cost, I'm ready to pay it. TALK - There's darkness within me... So what does that matter? I know I'm strong enough to hold it back. — 14:24, September 19, 2009 (UTC)
My talking talk bubble. This is used for delivering long speeches or explanations.
Eternal Nothingness XIII - Ven, Aqua... I'll find some way to make things right. TALK - This light... it's so warm. — 14:24, September 19, 2009 (UTC)
My hooded talk bubble. Used until a user gains my trust, when tired, embarassed, blushing, or recovering from being mad at someone, this one has the highest chance of appearance.
Eternal Nothingness XIII - This heart belongs again to darkness. All worlds begin in darkness, and all so end. The heart is no different. Darkness sprouts within it - it grows, consumes it. Such is its nature. In the end, every heart returns to the darkness whence it came. TALK - Your body submits, your heart succumbs - so why does your mind resist? — 14:20, September 29, 2010 (UTC)
This template shall be used when I must comment on something that irks me. As I'm just as human as any user here, I'm likely to feel my own way about things, get angered when my views are tampered with, and see no alternative but to use this.
Eternal Nothingness XIII - Aqua... Ven... Keyblade... Who are you? I can feel it - we have met before. But when... No... it isn't you... It isn't you that I have chosen. Why isn't it him? Xe...ha...nort... Is that you? Xeha...nort... Xehanort! TALK - Aqua... Ven... someday I will set this right. — 14:20, September 29, 2010 (UTC)
This template will be used if or when I've said something offensive to another user. If you see this on your talk page, it represents an honest apology.
An amazing storyline that connects the dots, by far Square-Enix's best work.
A challenging battle system with epic attack graphics
The music. Yoko Shimomura couldn't possibly have done a better job.
North America and Europe were the ones who got something Final Mix-worthy this time.
Voice acting. So many veterans returned and sounded great, especially from the Disney franchise. Those that were new grew on you, as well.
The script. In terms of Square's characters, their quotes were all amazing. For Disney characters, they kept the general themes from the movies alive, such as Doc's mixing up of words.
For the first time since Kingdom Hearts II, words actually matched the characters' lip movements.
Yet again, Nomura is lazy with character design, giving Terra a recolor to become Xehanort and Sora one to become Vanitas.
Senseless mini-games. Over half of what is needed to beat the game 100% involves them.
Some plot features were too close to those of other series or past games.
The music. As epic as it may be, Yoko Shimomura abused the violin. Plus, all the Disney worlds' themes sound alike. Vanitas's final battle theme for Ventus's story is also lazily put together, a mere remix of his normal battle theme.
The gameplay, as epic as the new features were, was starting to become even more like Final Fantasy.
Voice acting. This is probably the only case where I liked the Japanese voice actors better! It gets tiring to hear someone voice six characters at once, and some of the voicework sounded like a very convincing fandub rather than something official.
Material was changed between the Japanese and English version, such as events and battle graphics.
Another pointless Final Mix was created that made Nomura's additions to the English version seem like an "In your face!" situation. Not only was the English-exclusive material given to Japan, but they also got new boss fights, cutscenes, et cetera on top of that!
The music. It has such bad quality compared to the works featured in other games.
The graphics. While Disney was included in the story, everything just looked way too cartoon-y.
Areas are hard to navigate, as the map feature isn't used in this game.
It takes way too much work to obtain the Ultima Weapon.
The Item/Ability system is a pain.
Sora and friends barely get any MP or HP, no matter what level they're at.
The inclusion of Sephiroth and other secret bosses in the English version was not needed. Maybe if the U.S. had waited, hard-core fans like myself could've delighted in a Final Mix version of the game like the Japanese do.
The storyline is simply amazing. Kudos to you, Nomura. It connects the dots, and while it was not needed to understand the story, it was still just great.
A Multi-player mode is added to the franchise. It's nice being able to play as your favorite character.
The music. While many themes were recycled, the few original ones were fantastic.
Impressive, high-quality graphics in both voiced cutscenes and non-voiced cutscenes, as well as during gameplay, even though this game was for the Nintendo DS.
A challenging battle system that also introduced the powerful Limit Breaks.
Veteran voice actors returned.
Material and music from Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix found its way overseas.
The music. It was very low-quality, and I'd heard most of those themes before.
The battle system. There's a great lack of character customization, Limit Breaks are a challenge to fully execute, and the addition of status ailments and the equipment style for weapons, abilities, and items were too much like Final Fantasy. What's worse was this was to be carried over into future games.
Gameplay style. Most exploration was taken out of the game. Also being told what to do isn't that fun. The missions became annoying when you just wanted to get to a certain plot point, as they made the game unnecessarily long.
Too much of a challenge to clear 100%.
Nomura was lazy with character design, making Xion a black-haired Kairi.
Overall, this game was not needed for release. While it does fill in necessary plot holes, it seemed like Nomura just made it to make it. Xion never needed to exist, and everything could have carried on nicely without the plot details that were opened up or closed. By the end it seemed like a huge rush to eliminate Xion and pretend she was never there, as it very well could have been.
Despite the fact that veteran voice actors returned, they didn't sound at all like they did in past games. Plus Square was being lazy by using archived battle quotes/cries.
Square was also lazy with cutscenes, meaning lip movements didn't match what was being said in English.
Unlike 358/2 Days, it's unnecessary, but it is still needed to understand Kingdom Hearts II.
There were actually voices and high-quality graphics to some degree on the Gameboy Advance, considering the types of games I used to play where everything was 2D and silent.
Completely original soundtrack aside from what was borrowed from the first Kingdom Hearts.
The battle system. It made battles almost impossible sometimes.
A noticeable difference in story difficulty. Riku's was so much easier.
This should never have been a handheld. Nomura should have done what he always did (never listening to fans' ideas) and kept it as a PS2 game. That would eliminate the chaos caused by Re:Chain of Memories at the release of Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix.
Square was being lazy by using archived voice recordings.
A game that revitalized the PS2. Hardly any new games were being made for it.
Square finally got some sense knocked into them and decided to release this overseas. It was the only reason I wanted Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix in the first place.
The Chain of Memories Organization members were finally given voices.
Graphics were all-out impressive, be it during gameplay or during cutscenes.
Music was completely remastered, and the addition of "Lord of the Castle" to the soundtrack was just amazing.
Many new features were added such as new Cards and boss battles, as well as twists to certain plot points during cutscenes. This meant that we at least got some form of Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix overseas.
Veteran voice actors returned.
Dislikes in Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of MemoriesEdit
Veteran voice actors were replaced.
The battle system. While it was slightly easier in this version of Chain of Memories, the Cards made battles almost impossible.
Square was lazy, so they used archived battle quotes/cries, and they didn't re-animate cutscenes so lip movements matched the words being said. Would it have killed them to take two extra seconds during production to get Haley Joel Osment to re-voice some of his battle quotes for spells and abilities from the first Kingdom Hearts?
Again, a noticeable, if not more obvious, change in story difficulty. Card Duels now made Riku's story even EASIER.
Too much work is required to fully complete the game 100%, at least for Sora.
Sora and Riku's Kingdom Hearts II voices didn't fit their Kingdom Hearts bodies.
This game made me wonder if this would have been what the original Chain of Memories would have been like in Nomura's original concept before fans complained that it should be handheld and he chose to listen to them for the only time in his life.
This game connected perfectly to both Chain of Memories as well as its pointless prequel, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. The plot just kept getting better and better, no matter what stage of the game you were in.
The first game I ever played on a PS2, and truly the first I ever played to have voice acting.
The music was very well done. Kudos to you, Yoko Shimomura.
This game, by far, hosted some of the best graphics and voice acting in the entire series.
This game made Sora a much more epic character. It did many good things for several of the returning characters.
