Scenario Mysteries Interview
TheWertle has struck again! This time with an excellent interview with Tetsuya Nomura from Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+ Ultimania called “Scenario Mysteries”, in which he confirms the Enigmatic Soldier’s name as Terra!
In Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+, many mysteries are answered but many new mysteries are also born.
In this version, things relating to additional scenes are included, but during the story there are some questions that pop up, so we’ll see if Nomura can point us in the right direction.
Question: In the original Kingdom Hearts, the King searches for a Keyblade in the Realm of Darkness, but when he meets Ansem the Wise, is the Realm of Light Keyblade he has the one that Sora is currently using?
Nomura: No. The King has the ability to use Keyblades from both the Realms of Darkness and of Light. This is an important point - There isn’t just one Keyblade from each world, but just as many as there are people with qualified hearts.
Question: During the meetings, the members of Organization XIII are sitting in chairs. Is the height of these chairs determined by things like their skills and abilities?
Nomura: No. The height of the chairs is not fixated - They move. That is to say that the height is up to each person. The leader, Xemnas, is always the highest, and to be at the same height as him would give that member a pretty bad feeling, so the other members wouldn’t do that. *Laughs*
Question: At the end of Sora and Riku’s stories in Re: Chain of Memories, Roxas looks back while Hayner and the rest are walking and eating ice-cream, and without seeming to care, Hayner and the others continue walking. Is this because they can’t see Roxas?
Nomura: Well it’s just because they don’t know Roxas that they don’t notice him, not because they can’t see him. At that time, right after Xemnas explains Roxas’ name, Axel says to leave things to him. Then, Roxas seems jealous of how Hayner and the others are enjoying themselves while eating ice-cream, and Axel interprets this as him wanting some ice-cream, so he is obliged to go buy him some.
Question: In the real Twilight Town, didn’t Roxas cross paths with Hayner and the others and make aquaintances with them?
Nomura: I suppose. You can think whatever you want about that.
Question: What triggered Roxas’ separation from the Organization?
Nomura: As he kept having recurring dreams of Sora, someone he didn’t know, he felt he needed to leave the Organization to find out who these people he didn’t know were. As Axel didn’t want him to go, he didn’t tell Sora about Roxas in Castle Oblivion, did he?
Question: In Riku’s ending in Re: Chain of Memories, could you tell us the meaning of the scene where the King and Riku are walking together and Riku suddenly plops down.
Nomura: That’s because Riku realized he couldn’t completely get rid of the Darkness inside of him. The King mentioned in Kingdom Hearts II that as Riku held Xehanort’s Heartless in his heart, he disappeared from the King’s sight. It’s a sort of foreshadowing. In this scene, the King’s face looks worried for a moment because he felt that Riku might eventually no longer be there. Riku headed towards DiZ in order to restore Sora’s memories to normal, but in the end, his departure from the King was so that he wouldn’t show his preparations to use the Darkness.
Question: Could you tell us at what point Riku covered his eyes?
Nomura: When he departed from the King. You don’t know after the scene, but in Riku’s ending in Re: Chain of Memories, when he comes to wherever DiZ is, he’s already covered his eyes.
Question: Please confirm some things about Castle Oblivion. In the additional event “The Truth about the Chamber of Sleep”, you can gather from Xigbar and Zexion’s conversation that Castle Oblivion existed in the Inbetween Realm before the birth of the Organization. The Organization then found it and used it for experiments about memories and to look for the Chamber of Awakening, right?
Nomura: Yes. Since their conversation was about Marluxia’s entry, they discovered the Castle before that. In fact, its use, according to Secret Ansem Report 7, was for only 13 Organization Members. Naminé awoke in Castle Oblivion, but as she and Roxas were born at the same time, half of the Organization moved to the Castle.
Question: In the additional event “To Put an End to Everything”, Sora says “It should have been easy to say thanks to Naminé, but I couldn’t say it”. At this point in time, does Sora remember the things that happened with Naminé?
Nomura: If he remembers, it’s because Naminé’s existence was made possible by Sora, and when Naminé and Roxas return to Kairi and Sora, many things were connected. Since Sora never got to say thanks to Naminé, please think of that as a hint.
Question: In the additional event “Farewell to a Friend”, there’s a scene where Axel tells Roxas “You really do have a heart, don’t you”. What is the actual case here?
Nomura: In this scene, it ends bringing up more mysteries about Roxas, so for the answer, maybe take care to follow your hunches well. It’s also related to Xehanort’s memories, but I can’t give any specifics now.
Question: We’d like to inquire about the new secret movie “Birth By Sleep”. In the new event “The Truth about the Chamber of Sleep”, Xigbar mentions a “group that wields Keyblades”. Is he talking about the 3 armored people in the movie?
Nomura: Yes, Xigbar witnessed them when he was a disciple to Ansem the Wise.
Question: The Lingering Sentiment (Enigmatic Soldier) is the same as the armored youth in the movie, but when he fights Sora he mentions “Aqua” and “Ven”. Are those the names of the other 2?
Nomura: Yes, the blue haired girl is Aqua.
Question: What is the armored youth’s name?
Nomura: His name appeared once in code in the 2006 Tokyo Game Show Promotional Video. Also, Ven is actually a nickname, but his real name is a little bit longer. Sora, Riku, and Kairi’s names can be seen as “Sky, Land, and Sea” respectively. The 3 armored people’s names take the shape of different properties of the world, “Water, Wind, and Earth”.
Statement: Ven looks an awful lot like Roxas…
Nomura: I can’t give any specifics about that. He may just resemble him, and if there is a connection, Sora may be related too. What I can say right now is that these mysteries are all connected to the story.
Question: In the beginning, the armored youth’s eyes are blue, but at the end they change to gold. Is this revealing a change in him?
Nomura: I can’t give specifics about this either… I think everyone’s imaginations are pretty capable so please try and anticipate a lot of things.
Translated by TheWertle. I edited and corrected spelling and grammar.
- In the photo below, it shows a screenshot of the code that flowed across the screen for a moment during the Promotional Video at the Tokyo Game Show 2006. It has been decoded as:
“Master Xehanort’s Avenger, his name is Terra.”
“Not yet awakened, he is connected to those two.”

Organization fan:I already knew all that you said…
You know how there was so many keyblades and so many wielded in the past, well what happened to all the wielders in the past did they just die or what they would have gotten nobodies wouldn’t they?
Also yes i believe that Xemnas when he said he looks just like you is that he was referring to Ven, Besides Ven and Roxas have enough of a connection already for it to have something to do with Ven.

I apologize for the double post. My computer was annoying me….again.

Shadow, I don’t remember exactly, but this link will explain everything, just click on my name.
Organization Fan, who else could it be? Xemnas asked Roxas what his true name was? You didn’t hear Roxas speak, but it was clearly Xemnas he was talking to him because of the voice. The scene kind of retold itself in KH2 Final Mix when Xemnas gave Roxas his name. My guess, his true name is Ven.
He even repeats it in the video link I posted. “He looks like you.” I assume he meant Sora looking Roxas. Although, he could be referring to Ven since Nomura says Xemnas had a connection with the knights.
on 31 Oct 2007 at 9:31 pm 1467. KHfan
well, yeah because there are voice overs at one point and you can definatly tell its roxas. and whos the other guy supossed to be?
on 31 Oct 2007 at 6:03 am 1466. Organization fan
Shadow,
There aren’t that many nobodies because other heartless beings didn’t have that much of a strong will to become one. Which is why experiments were done. Sure there could of been more of them, but then again there are only 13 seats, so where would others sit? The seats were meant for 13 individuals. There are more nobodies if you count the Assassins, beserkers, creepers, dancers, dragoons, Dusks, gamblers, samurais, snipers, and sorcerers. Some of those nobodies were chosen to be controlled by certain members in the organization the members who didn’t betray the organization, perhaps it could be a distraction so that the member doesn’t think of it in Xenmas mind.
Perhaps Terra or Ven has some relation to them who knows.
With the two Organization members on the island talking with each other. Are you sure that the other Organization member was Roxas? You can’t really tell when they have those hoods on that easily. He looks a little too tall to be Roxas. I have seen that scene so many times and I don’t think it is Roxas since he is the second shortest member besides Zenion, (but it wouldn’t be him since he is gone) of the organization. If it was meant to be Roxas then they forgot that he supposed to be shorter.
on 31 Oct 2007 at 12:51 am 1465. Sora+x=Roxas
I have a theory!
Maybe when Xemnas was created he got the form of Terra and Terra’s memories that’s why in the part when he said to Roxas he looked a like someone he is referring to Ven because he still remembers him,
Same in the part when the armor of Aqua is there he directed it as his friend Maybe he remembers it too.. Or maybe it is still Xehanort’s memories.. But I have a strong feeling that it is Terra..

Ace:When and how did the fight go when sora fought Xemnas in final mix?
on 28 Oct 2007 at 6:37 am 1463. Sora+x=Roxas
But I predict that Xemnas is reffering to Ven when he talked to Roxas..
on 27 Oct 2007 at 11:23 pm 1462. KHfan
yeah but roxas’ wristband is black with white squares and ven’s is white with black squares. like it makes a difference though. haha. yeah i wondered about that.
so, like, for the japanese version, they’re getting the same voice actor that played roxas for ven, does anybody want to see jesse mcartney play ven? i personally dont think that his voice will fit ven because i personally think ven looks a wee bit younger then roxas, so like, jesse mcartneys like 20. yeah.
on 27 Oct 2007 at 7:51 pm 1461. Ace of Diamonds
When Xemnas tell Roxas, “I’ve been to see him. He looks a lot like you.” The first thing that comes to mind is when Xemnas fights Sora in KH: Final Mix. So, my guess is that he’s referring to Roxas. Roxas and Sora do look alike, but by eyes in my view. Anybody else but me notice that Ven is wearing the same wristband as Roxas had in KH2?
on 27 Oct 2007 at 7:56 am 1460. Sora+x=Roxas
Roxas is wearing the clothes he was wearing in kh2
on 26 Oct 2007 at 9:23 pm 1459. KHfan
ok maybe he is shortly. at the end of riku’s story there are pictures of him standing in twilight town, ok i’ll stop now cause idk
on 26 Oct 2007 at 9:14 pm 1458. KHfan
i dont think that roxas is in chain of memories. of course, i didnt beat it, but i dont recall hearing anything about him being in the game.
on 26 Oct 2007 at 1:54 am 1457. shadow
Okay so whoever has played kh:com and beaten it how was Roxas’ first appearance exactly how did it happen?
Cause if he was created in castle oblivion,castle oblivion has something to do with Ven,Terra and so forth.
Well i actually agree that the fourteenth org. member is Aquas nobody.
The Gathering place is most likely in the inbetween realm just as castle oblivion is.
on 25 Oct 2007 at 10:05 pm 1456. KHfan
wow, im listening to zelda music and talking about kingdom hearts. great mix huh? lol
on 25 Oct 2007 at 10:00 pm 1455. KHfan
if he was talking to roxas, then he could have been talking about ven. i mean, they look very simalar. even still though, if you gave me a picture of ven and roxas and it was just their heads like, you couldnt see what they are wearing,i could probably pick out the correct ones. there is a slight difference in the way they look. just sayin. i dont really think sora and roxas look alike. it may just be the hair though.
on 25 Oct 2007 at 12:35 pm 1454. Josh/ViVi
he was talking to Roxas
this was comfirmed by Nomura
on 25 Oct 2007 at 12:07 pm 1453. Sora+x=Roxas
I have played kh: Com and beaten it…
on 25 Oct 2007 at 12:02 pm 1452. Sora+x=Roxas
I mean about Ven…
And Terra is also a look a like of Saix
on 25 Oct 2007 at 11:59 am 1451. Sora+x=Roxas
We have no idea..
But I have a strong feeling that he is talking to Ven…
on 25 Oct 2007 at 11:26 am 1450. KHdude
but in that ”You look like him a lot” part, Xemnas was talking about sora that he looks like roxas right?
on 25 Oct 2007 at 10:05 am 1449. Sora+x=Roxas
Hey I got another theory..
Right there is a part in the beggining of kh2 that there are 2 org. members chatting w/ each other in that dark island? That was Xemnas and Roxas right??
Xemnas said to Roxas ” You look like him a lot” or something like that, I think Terra is a part of Xemnas and Roxas is a part of Ven…
Maybe Xemnas’ also got Terra’s memories and Roxas got Ven’s and a little of Sora’s….
Maybe Xemnas remembered Ven when he saw Roxas..
Right nobodies are the reincarnated form of those who died??
Terra died also Ven died… Right? The Birth by Sleep is said to be the past.. It happened before KH1…. If you saw the scan of birth by sleep there is a scan there where Terra is carrying Ven saying to Master Xehanort: ” What did you do with his heart? “, looks like that scene is when Ven died…
And in 358/2 days, maybe the girl who joined them is the nobody of Aqua…
on 24 Oct 2007 at 10:05 pm 1448. KHfan
i really dont understand the whole xemnas ansem xehanort deal. haha, possibly this will be answered in KH3? that or it was answered in KH2 and i wasnt paying attention
on 24 Oct 2007 at 10:03 pm 1447. KHfan
ive played chain of memories! i havent beaten it, but ive gotten pretty far.
on 22 Oct 2007 at 10:22 pm 1446. shadow
Okay how the hell did they come up with something so awesome but yet so freakin confusing?
I mean really,KH is probably like the most confusing videogame in the world.
I mean really,we should probably talk more on the simple things of the game the story will probably be better if thats done so will the game.
So what im really wondering is when these three games come out im not sure but i think the order of the games is 358/2 days,coded then birth by sleep.
I also heard that there has been commercials for these three games.
They should have the Corpse Bride in the videogame too as well as nightmare before Christmas does anyone think it will be in the game?
Now theres already a release date in Japan so youd think someone would be able to figure the release dates there still instead of releasing no news,oh well.
on 22 Oct 2007 at 10:01 pm 1445. shadow
Well i do not think that Ansem has a nobody of his own but he does have a nobody,His nobody is Xemnas that is why his name is rearranged like that,Ansem+X=Xemnas.
But he took his name for a reason didnt he or did he just take it he could have just kept his original name.
Now come to think of it the bald man is Master Xehanort i believe he was a master maybe like Ansem the Wise,but anyways Xehanort only remembered Xehanort,he would obviously have to still know the basics to live now once you think about it Terra said all he had left was his spirit,so how could that have happened,now we really dont know whether the Sora and Terra battle was in the past or not,So if Terra is the avenger of Xehanort and not yet awakened he would have to be put asleep for some reason so was he put to sleep to avenge someone or anything?
So Sora lost his memory due to Namine having that power so how would Xehanort only be able to remember Xehanort?
Ven somehow had Roxas formed in his form when Sora was at castle oblivion and couldnt remember anything thats when Roxas and Namine showed up now before i continue,i would like to ask if anyone here has played kh chain of memories?
on 22 Oct 2007 at 4:49 am 1444. Ace of Diamonds
Ansem doesn’t have a Nobody. At least I don’t think so. Ansem the Wise isn’t like Sora and Xehanort. He can’t become whole again after becoming a Heartless and having a Nobody. Ansem as in Xehanort’s Heartless, can’t have a Nobody either. I don’t think it’s possible for a Heartless to have a Nobody. Heartless do lack “Hearts” after all. Can’t have a Nobody without a Heart. There’s no explanation as to why Xehanort’s Heartless and Nobody have no name connection Xehanort. I would assume No Heart would be equal to Ansem. Since he’s a Heartless and they lack Hearts while Xemnas could be his nobody relating to another. When you look at it, Xemnas looks a lot more like Xehanort than Ansem does.
on 22 Oct 2007 at 1:05 am 1443. khFaN
i didnt kno ansem had a nobody i thought it was just riku on the darkness side??!!?!!
on 21 Oct 2007 at 10:41 pm 1442. KHfan
ok so, whos ansems nobody? xehanort or xemnas? gosh this is so freaking confusing!! i always thought it was xemnas because its ansem mixed up with an X added, but i really dont know. kinda dumb….i know…hah
on 20 Oct 2007 at 12:35 am 1441. shadow
Okay im correcting more errors from my last theory i meant that if they let Roxas in org. they could also put another chaser from back then into org. so some of Xehanorts ideas of being evil went away somewhere like he made friends with Roxas as in its half of Sora and Ven so that would be like making friends with Sora but he didnt make friends with him so why does he wan so many nobodies to help him there should be way more nobodies cause of all the heartless the body would have to become a nobody human form seeing as there was so many keyblade wielders.
