I dunno. I don't have it yet.

If I had to guess I'd say it's just a bigass magic attack.

That's underwhelming.

Nique · 10-09-2010, 07:00 PM

Huh.

Ok so after completing Ventus' story, I wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what exactly Vanitas is supposed to be? He clearly isn't a heartless or a nobody, and I don't quite get the whole 'Unversed' thing except that he generates them and controls them

Seriously, I ruined this myself via TvTropes long ago, anyone else wanting to keep it a secret avert your virgin eyes and cursors

Dead serious.

Alrighty, here goes.

Your funeral

Apparently the Unversed are simply creatures of Darkness. Unlike the Heartless and Nobodies, these things are literally born from nothing. They are things that shouldn't exist. They are also the result of Ven's Dark powers going out of control.

(why do I understand this so well?)

And Vanitas is the other half of Ven's Soul. He was separated from him when Xananort tried to create the X Blade and failed. The point of Van fighting Ven was to getting him strong enough so that when they rejoin. They'll create the X Blade. Which can summon and control Kingdom Hearts (which is basically their God).

Having played the game on Proud mode and finished it with all three characters:

While I dislike having to play through the game thrice it's kinda fun to watch the plot come together. The game needed more combat intersections between the characters instead of a single boss. The game was fun, but there were things I disliked, such as:

- Fuck you Zack, stop teleporting to where I am and killing me.
- Aqua, stop dealing 1 damage to everything until you're level 10.
- That experiment critter boss thing from Deep Space is just an ass on Proud mode.
- Maleficent can insta-kill you with green fire on Proud mode. I do not understand why.
- STOP DASHING XEHANORT!TERRA, I WANT TO HIT YOU.

The amount of duel battles in the game is pretty good, but the fact that there's only two where bullshit doesn't happen - first Zack fight, Master Eraqus fight - it's kinda tiring. And by bullshit I mean Zack's "teleport-and-kill-your-ass" move or Vanitas countering your counter-counters.

The plot is a mixed bag of explaining questions and creating more of them, but overall the ratio is better for explaining.

Quickie review of the story summary of Birth By Sleep found on Wikipedia.org:

Hey, remember how Kingdom Hearts was actually good for one whole entire game, before the plot crawled up its own ass and died?

Nique · 10-10-2010, 02:32 AM

I...

Yeah

Nomura has a clonecest fetish like crazy.

It's the only explanation.
