      Eh, none of that would really make sense. The Castle never had anything to do with Sora's memories, it was always Namine. And that aside, Having the castle as a playable area wouldn't make too much sense either, narratively. While these areas in the mod look stunning, I'm pretty sure the castle's interior is entirely determined by the memory cards, but there's no one here to make those, so the Castle would likely just be the same rooms over and over.
      Edit: Floor 13 is also based on Sora's memories.

    The way I had always interpreted the idea that "only Aqua can reach Ven's body in the Chamber of Waking" was that Castle Oblivion was a kind of perfect, real-time symbolic copy of Aqua's brain. Every brain cell, every neural pathway, every minute change in Aqua's mind has a butterfly effect on Castle Oblivion, creating the scenario that Axel described when asked by Saix if they searched all the rooms: "You're kidding, right? That's like counting grains of dust in a building full of sneezing people." If Aqua were to be placed in perfect stasis, her mind staying absolutely static, it's theoretically possible to create a unified explanation and mapping of Castle Oblivion, but it would take lifetimes to do so and the Castle is making micromutations many times a second. It's utterly incomprehensible to an almost eldritch extent... except for Aqua. The place just makes sense to her, and not even she can articulate why. She walks in the door and immediately knows the exact shortest path to Ven intuitively, but her explanation of what that path is sounds utterly insane, even to her.
    Here's the scenario as I imagined it: Sora, Donald, Goofy and Aqua enter Castle Oblivion. SDG marvel at the pristine white interior, as they have no memories of ever having been here. Aqua says that she can tell that much has happened here since she left it 10 years ago, but after Goofy expresses concern that those activities might have affected the castle to the point where they won't be able to find Ven, she assures him that that isn't possible and everything is as she expected it to be. Donald asks how she knows, and she rather uncomfortably admits that she doesn't really know. Some cards appear before Sora and he gets deja vu over having used them before. He's about to reach out and create a recreation of a world to explore, just as he can kind of feel he did before, before Aqua stops him. "The cards are a decoy; the real path to Ven doesn't use them."
    Aqua then starts leading SDG through the castle, and at first, its pretty innocuous. Go through this door, then this one, then this one over here. But as things go on, it gets more and more bizarre. She starts doubling back through doors they already went through multiple times, only to arrive at a completely different location. She moves objects around to create doorways that she then ignores. She casually walks through walls only to wind up on the ceiling that turns out to have been the floor the whole time. Castle Oblivion starts to resemble an M.C. Escher painting more and more... most of the time. Every so often, they'll get to a section that is mundane and sensible, only to then be thrust back into the mind screw. SDG can barely keep up and are utterly mystified. Along the way, Aqua talks about Castle Oblivion and what she did to create it.

      @SuperfieldCrUn 3 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      And now for the ludicrously over-thought deep dive into all the stuff my bored brain came up with to further flesh this out! The dialogue as they're moving through Castle Oblivion:
      Aqua: "My predecessors were geniuses. I had only been told the bare basics of my home's ability to turn into this place a short time before I did it, and I was able to create exactly what I wanted in the exact way I wanted."
      Sora: "The exact 'way'?"
      Aqua: "Creating Castle Oblivion took a few seconds, and after I was done, that's about how long it felt. But during the process, it almost felt like days or weeks of careful planning. I'm not sure how I was able to come up with it all, it felt like something I'd need to have studied extensively beforehand, but it all just... came together."
      Donald: "Sounds complicated, but all we have to do is get to the deepest part, right?"
      Aqua: "No. It's too obvious. There's only one "deepest part", and that's the first place someone would look. But there's about 153 points that are almost as deep."
      Goofy: "So you made the Chamber of Waking at one of those parts, then? Clever."
      Aqua: "Nope. I placed it in one of the almost 48,000 points that are just a bit closer than that."
      Sora: "Um... Aqua, you're sure that we're not going to get lost or separated? This place is starting to freak me out."
      Aqua: "The point of Castle Oblivion was to be a safehouse, not a trap. I didn't want to be cruel to anyone who just happened to stumble upon it. Getting further in is hard and getting to a specific location is nigh impossible, but getting out is easy. You have a 99% chance of getting back to the entrance hall if you just take 5 random doors in a row, and if that doesn't work, just take a few more."
      Donald: "So what was up with the cards? They seemed important, but they're nothing?"
      Aqua: "A little misdirection on my part. It's not possible to make the Chamber of Waking truly inaccessible - otherwise, even I'd be unable to reach it. But I wanted to obscure that path as much as possible. The cards were a big part of that."
      Goofy: "So the cards can't get you to Ven? They're just a waste of time?"
      Aqua: "Not quite. I was designing this place around the idea of what I could do to keep Xehanort, or someone like him, out. He's a scientist - a thinker. I couldn't keep the path from him forever, so I tried to come up with what would waste the most time possible. See, if Xehanort were to come to this place, he'd try to explore it only to realize that running from room to room was pointless. So then he'd try to research the place, understand how it works. In no time at all, he'd realize that Castle Oblivion operates on its own rules - strange ones, defying most of the rules of the normal universe, but rules nonetheless. To understand those rules, one would need to create an entirely new branch of science - a freak combination of physics, math, and psychology. Let's call it 'psietics', although he'd probably call it something else. The foundational principles of psietics would take around 8 years to formulate, and from there, he'd start working on exploring this new form of science to determine the way to the Chamber of Waking. But therein lies the trap; Xehanort would make the same mistake you did. He'd see the cards and immediately assume that they are the key to Castle Oblivion."
      Sora: "But they really do nothing?"
      Aqua: "Like I said, not quite. Sure, I could make the cards a complete dead end, but then the fundamental theorum of psietics would conclude that the Chamber of Waking isn't reachable with the cards, at least not necessarily. Even Castle Oblivion can't defy all aspects of reality and logic, just most of them - I can't fool the concept of scientific study. After those first 8 years, Xehanort would realize the cards are a distraction and turn his attention elsewhere - bringing him much, much closer to the path we're on now. I had to ensure that psietics would conclude that the cards can be used to reach Ven so that Xehanort would be convinced that he was on the right path - thereby locking him in to the most inefficient and time-consuming road to Ven possible."
      Donald: "How inefficient?"
      Aqua: "If you were to dedicate immense scientific resources to the project, ones that I would expect Xehanort to be capable of, I would estimate that the formulation of a path to the Chamber of Waking would take approximately 450 years at minimum."
      Sora: "Four and a half centuries!?"
      Aqua: "And while it would work, it would take 2 years to actually traverse that path from the entrance to the Chamber."
      Goofy: "But it's not going to take that long because we're not using the cards, right?"
      Aqua: "Correct, but that's not the only psietics-based pathway to the Chamber, just the first one you'd be able to come up with. The shortest path to the Chamber using the cards takes about 18 days."
      Donald: "So... if this 'psietics' stuff is wrong, what's the right way, and how long will it take?"
      Aqua: "Psietics isn't 'wrong', just incomplete. If you ignore the cards, you'll discover the true science of Castle Oblivion - that same combination of physics, math and psychology, but with a heavy dose of relativistic cosmology: 'matrix psietics'. It's the principles of matrix psietics that we are using right now."
      Goofy: "So just how much more efficient are matrix psietics over the normal kind?"
      Aqua: "Putting the same resources that would be needed to have psietics result in a 2-year path after 450 years of research into matrix psietics instead would create a 3 month pathway after around 29 years."
      Sora: "Aqua, are you telling us that it'll take 3 months to get to Ven!?"
      Aqua: "Again, that's just the first path you'd find if you had to start from scratch. The path we're on will get us there in just a few minutes."
      Donald: "Could have said that sooner!"
      Aqua: "Sorry!"
      Goofy: "How long would it take for Xehanort to have figured out the path we're on?"
      Aqua: "For matrix psietics to theorize what we're doing right now would take well over 300,000 years, probably a lot more. For regular psietics to get the 18 day path... to be honest, I don't know. Billions of eons is probably too mild a descriptor. I could've calculated it exactly, but... it's hard to explain. When I was putting Castle Oblivion together, it wasn't so much like I was 'making' it as much as I was... ugh, I can't explain it! It was like the mere idea of it was dangerous, like even thinking about a period of time so monstrous would've swallowed me up, doomed me to experience it for myself. I was too scared to delve any deeper - and there were times when I was in the Realm of Darkness where I thought I was doing just that."
      Sora: "And you did all of this just so that Ven would be safe?"
      Aqua: "Of course. He's my friend."
      Donald: "Still seems like a bit much, if you ask me. Couldn't Master Yen Sid have kept him safe?"
      Aqua: "Well... on top of not wanting anyone else to be put in harm's way, I think it also ended up being a kind of sanctuary for me, too. The Realm of Darkness preys on everything - every doubt, every weakness, every worry. Barely a minute went by without my mind betraying me, showing me visions of the Chamber of Waking being destroyed. The knowledge of everything I had done to keep him safe ended up being a stronger weapon than any Keyblade."
      Sora: "...I'm sorry it took us so long to get you out of there, Aqua."
      Aqua: "...no one had any idea what happened to me until Mickey stumbled across me by sheer chance, and even then, you had more important things to worry about than one trapped person you didn't have the resources to save. I choose to believe that you all got to me the earliest you could. Besides, it wasn't like it was 10 years from my perspective. I think it was a month or two."
      Sora: "But you said..."
      Aqua: "I was drowning in darkness and picked the words that would hurt the most, regardless of if they were misleading. Darkness weaponizes lies by wrapping them around a kernel of truth."
      Sora: "..."
      Goofy: "Aw, cheer up you two! We're about to see Ven again! And I have a feeling that he's the last thing we need until we can find Terra, too."
      Donald: "Goofy's right, we've got to stay focused on what's important!"
      Sora: "Right."
      Aqua: "...we're here."

    @brocautry5063 3 วันที่ผ่านมา +5

    As cool as this idea is, what we actually got in the game makes a lot more sense. The only people who knew that Ven was even at Castle Oblivion were the high ranking Organization members and Aqua. More importantly, Aqua is the only person who could find Ven at all, so even if the guardians learned about the chamber of waking and either Riku or Mickey helped Sora get back to Castle Oblivion it wouldn't matter. They still wouldn't be able to reach Ven. The castle was designed to be a never ending maze that will never lead you to your goal. The only way to reach Ven is for Aqua to undo the spell, which is exactly what she does. The only explanation for actually exploring the castle that you could give is to claim that you have to reach the Chamber of Waking in order to undo the spell, but the chamber was meant to be impossible to find in the first place. So how would that even work?

      The way the story was told, you absolutely have a point and I agree 100%. However, purely for the sake of adding an interesting gameplay experience for us to enjoy, they COULD have made the unlocking mechanism for CO such that Aqua has to enter the castle and complete a special sequence of rooms/trials using Master’s Defender to reach the spot where she can undo the entire spell. An extra security measure you could say.

Its a mod for kh2 and said three heartless you play as are a soldier as the sora role with either a normaö sword or a keyblade, a fat bandit who is the goofy role, and a female wizard for the donald role. The mods story goes along the 10 year timeskip between bbs and 1 up until the end of 3 or ddd and they witness important events like sora and riku fighting world of nothing (xemnas's giant metal dragon) or the three friends witnessing the battle or as they call it the slaughter of a thousand heartless. These three friends also fight the evil dr devious (a flood unversed in a rocket powered flying armchair) and his two minions deino (a dinosaur looking nobody) and gunna (a nobody with great marksmanship)

The game would also have a weakened sephiroth as a main story boss who since hes weakened by sora from the kh2 fight is very easy and actually dies at the hands of the three heroes (their names are jack, lily, and ross btw) and he gets reincarnated as a heartless and a nobody (who both become superbosses later on). Also atlantica is replaced with pranksters paradise and said world features dream eaters just like how the monsters inc world has unversed in it. The characrers also have some extra spice like the bandit ross breathing fire cause he eats curry all day or everyone tries but fails to rizz lily and the npcs have some like that too like the accessoires shopkeeper is a dark ball who uses his ear horn thingys like hands or the armor salesman is a guard armor who often sidetracks to other topics when talking with customers or the weapon shopkeeper is a flood pretending to be a shadow and everyone falls for it.

Examples including how Riku and Mickey got to ROD, how they got their new keyblades, How Sora and co would find Castle Oblivion/explore Castle Oblivion, The training of Kairi and Lea etc.

    Man, I’ve got a hidden chapter idea of my own, but sadly I am only a writer. No coding or art skills to go along with them.
    Basically it’s Sora’s misadventures getting from the Final World to Quadratum. He meets a star waiting for its love, who turns out to have become one of the Thirteen Darknesses. That star thinks it’s just dreaming in bed while it waits for its love to return. But through talking with Sora it recalls that the Darkness in its love actually killed them in bed. The star flips out and makes the Final World go into sunset, with black rock outcroppings. There’s a challenging airstepping course, then the star summons black Dream Eaters from the water to fight, several times. Sora tries to explain its love’s behavior based on his experience with Riku falling to darkness, it grows disillusioned and fades away, deciding to give up.
    Sora wanders lonely for a bit, and remembers Chirithy said sleep and death overlap. He tries to open a gate to Traverse Town, thinking he can get back to the realm of light through the realm of sleep. He plunges through darkness only to find himself struggling to rise towards a world instead of dropping effortlessly. A drop-like sequence follows, before Sora finds himself in Symphony of Sorcery, on the rocky outcropping with the starry background.
    An armored Keyblade Master halts him. How did he reach this pit in the realm of dreams? He is a Seeker of Wisdom, and the first to discover it. Sora barely understands what’s happening, and the Seeker of Wisdom mistakes him for a nightmare trying to trick him. An intense boss battle ensues. The Seeker of Wisdom uses a Level 3 Star Seeker that transforms into a variety of orchestral instruments for attacks that mimic rhythm games. The boss song borrows leitmotifs from The Mysterious Tower and the main Fantasia theme. It’s obvious from the armor and everything else that this is a younger Yen Sid, not that Sora will put the pieces together.
    Upon beating the Seeker of Wisdom, he apologizes and asks Sora to explain what he’s doing there. What follows is the Seeker finally doing the impossible and explaining the exact shape of the KH universe and how all these realms fit together(this summary comment is long enough, otherwise I’d leave it here). The explanation ends on the Realm of Dreams, and how it funnels into darkness. Unlike his previous journey, Sora is coming from the other direction, and the forces of gravity are working against him. He’s not powerful enough to rise further than this, the deepest pit.
    The Seeker of Wisdom waxes poetic about the beauty of the stars, and how they tell stories that have been forgotten, or may never have happened at all. He says that when he tires of the Seeker’s life and takes on an apprentice, he may return here to train them. Sora expresses a wish to meet them again, and the Seeker notes that he may already have. He is just another dream, a long-faded memory that the Dream Eaters have conjured to amuse themselves. He takes off his visor, and has a Komory Bat face. Sora screams in surprise, but his face has been replaced by Meow Wow.
    Sora wakes up with a start in the Final World. It’s nighttime, the stars are out… this is the cutscene that introduces the Yozora battle… uh oh…

    I can't help but sit here and wonder how exactly a story expansion is going to effectively work when they don't have the voice actors at their disposal. Sure, it could just be voiceless cutscenes like we wound up getting in KH1 Final Mix. When they decided to do that, for me personally, it takes me out of it. Without the voice acting there's not much of an impact, and it actually forces me to look at the subtitles. Gameplay-wise, though this is really cool. The level of time and effort put into it is amazing.

    You know what that beta CO flowmotion stage reminds me of? It reminds me of that cool tutorial sequence of Assassin's Creed III, where Desmond himself is running and parkouring through an Animus-generated fragmented world. This version of CO could implement such visual inspiration to make it more distinctive, and this idea could be used to generate plot-cohesive real parkour sections where platforming was the sole emphasis. After all, rooms in CO can take the form of whoever holds the cards when opening doors, am I right? I hope they make something creative like that.

    This Castle Oblivion segment
    And the Coliseum Mode.

    The thing with flowmotion in KH3 is it felt like in the original teaser (the very first one), Nomura tried to leverage the movement aspect very hard on that specific teaser because there was no combat involved; it has an odd focus between Sora and the Shadow Tower (I forgot the official name) showing "fluidity" of motion. What I think happened is, that the team felt like the game had too many mechanics present and scrapped what they already had planned with flowmotion; that or they got development hell with the game and decided just to get the project done and go on with KH3.

    I've been saying since I completed the game for the first time that we should have had 2 more KH original worlds in the game. The Dark World should have preceded the Dark Aqua fight, and Castle Oblivion/The Land of Departure before saving Ven. That in my opinion, would have done wonders for the pacing issue that the game had where they sort of just stalled the bulk of the plot until the very end of the game and then just did everything back to back all at once so we could hurry up and get to the final showdown.
