Clarification

"The Keyblade that Roxas used and the thing that Sora once lost in Castle Oblivion are the same thing. Furthermore, these two both used the Keyblade at the same time. This is can be explained by the relationship between Roxas and Sora. Thus, that both can wield two Keyblades in fact has an important meaning. This is also related to Xehanort's memories, but this point can't be touched on just yet. "

Days will clarify this further, but does this mean that the Keyblade transferred from Sora to Roxas when Sora entered Castle Oblivion, and Sora was using a manifested memory at that time, instead of the real thing?Glorious CHAOS! 15:39, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

"Period of Riku's absence"

Can someone clarify for me whether or not this is the time explained during Days or not? I believe it is, but I would like to know for sure --Lordofmonsterisland

I was just thinking that myself. I suppose it does. And the period of the King's absence is coded correct? Randomnessity Looks like you're already prepared.

LevL Fear my mighty instruments! — 17:12, February 4, 2010 (UTC) By "the period of the King's absence" you mean his absence during the original Kingdom Hearts, right?

Yes. Isn't that what coded was supposed to explain. Or is that game the mysterious 11th release? Randomnessity Looks like you're already prepared.

LevL Fear my mighty instruments! — 18:02, February 4, 2010 (UTC) The story of coded takes place after the events of Kingdom Hearts II, not during the events of Kingdom Hearts. And I believe coded is not the mysterious 11th release you're talking about, because it's not very mysterious anymore, and it's not the 11th game.

You don't to get what I am trying to say. I know when coded takes place and I wasn't saying it was the 11th release. I was saying that was the game that was said to reveal some of the things Mickey went through during KH. coded kind of back pedals after all. It goes back to the way things were during KH. Do you see what I mean now? Randomnessity Looks like you're already prepared.

LevL Fear my mighty instruments! — 18:20, February 4, 2010 (UTC) Yes, I understand. Well, I hope we'll soon find out if a new game will explain what Mickey did during Kingdom Hearts.

I do too. Randomnessity Looks like you're already prepared.

Nomura Interview Archive

LegoAlchemist - They changed "Snipe Magnet" to "Magnet Grab"? Who's translating this game, 4kids? TALK - Friendships are in direct contravention of mercenary conduct as delineated in your contracts, and on a personal note: I am very, very, disappointed with you. For convieniences sake, I was wondering if it was possible to organize all of the Nomura Interviews into one place. It would seriously help out articles like Soul that have to be restructured based on what he said. It would also make it easier to find sources for [citation needed] stuff. Can this happen?

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? It sounds like a great idea to me, sort of a compilation page like this one or Deleted content in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'd be willing to scour KHInsider's news sections and find links to any interviews I can find.

17master - Hey, guys, check out my new camera! TALK - Oh wait, this isn't a camera... - {{{time}}} I love the idea! We should determine the name of the article and start hunting for the interviews.

ShardofTruth Once you believe, truth and lie are quite the same thing. — 10:42, January 26, 2011 (UTC) That's a great idea, maybe we can even label the topics of the interviews somehow, because in over nine years there is quite a lot to read. These two links may help in our quest: http://heartstation.org/archives/1579 http://www.kh2.co.uk/website/interviews (replace "page with "website" in every link) 2004 Tetsuya NomuraKH2/KH:CoM – Famitsu #1 KH2/KH:CoM – Dengeki #1 KH2/KH:CoM – TechTv KH2/KH:CoM – 1UP #1 KH2/KH:CoM – GanGan KH2/KH:CoM – GMR KH2/KH:CoM – OPM KH2/KH:CoM – IGN 2005 KH: CoM – Ultimania KH2 – 1UP #2 KH2 – Playstation.com Europe KH2 – Dengeki #2 KH2 – Dengeki #3 KH2 – Hyper Playstation 2006 KH2 – Famitsu #2 KH2 – Ultimania KH2: FM+ – Famitsu 2007 KH2: FM+ – Ultimania KH: BBS – Famitsu #1 KH: BBS – Famitsu #2 KH: 358/2 Days – Famitsu #1 KH: 358/2 Days – Famitsu #2 KH: Coded – Famitsu #1 KH: Coded – Famitsu #2 2008 20 August 2008 KH: 358/2 Days + Coded + BBS - DKΣ3713 Famitsu 29 August 2008 KH: 358/2 Days + Mobile + Coded + BBS - Dengeki PS 13 September 2008 KH: 358/2 Days + Mobile + Coded + BBS - Degeki Wii + DS 2009 24 January 2009 KH: 358/2 Days + Coded + BBS - Re:Riplai 25 March 2009 KH: 358/2 Days + Coded - Famitsu Weekly 29 April 2009 KH: 358/2 Days - Nintendo Dream 01 July 2009 KH: 358/2 Days + Coded + BBS ......still more to get

Japanese original

The original text can be found here, which could be important for still untranslated terms. --ShardofTruth (talk) 21:10, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Goldpanner's Translations

I saw Kryten using Goldpanner's translations for the report on the Keyblade's and Keyblade of heart's articles. For confirmation's sake, will it be all right to use her translations of the report than the we have now? Goldpanner's translations are superior.--NinjaSheik 19:55, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

Goldpanner kept really close to the translated terms used for the English translations of the series so far, something that TheWertle (whose translation we use here currently) never did. So yes, using her translation is prefered, although we shouldn't post it on this page without asking her first. By the way, I always found this page here a bit odd since we generally only link to interviews but don't host them ourselves. Granted, this one is still one of the most important ones ever released. --ShardofTruth 12:12, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

I think he still has his LJ. I haven't been to it in forever, but I can pop by and get his permission. But do we really need it? Aren't we still affiliated with the KHInsider, who is also a member there? This interview is found over there. It's just a simple matter or copying and pasting the translations on the article.

EDIT: I left him a PM via LJ. Hopefully, I can get a reply tomorrow. Still, if Kryten already used her trans, then it still should be okay as long as we credit him, right?--NinjaSheik 19:53, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

Of course it's okay, asking for her permission is still the right thing to do since she work really long on this translation. --ShardofTruth 13:29, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

True, true. It seems he sent a messenger to my talk page. He wants to discuss it over email.--NinjaSheik 16:59, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

I got a reply from him! :D He say we can totally use it, as long as we credit him, of course!--NinjaSheik 04:20, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

It might be a good idea to correct your pronouns there, just to be polite to goldpanner."We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 04:44, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Oops! XD I didn't notice that. I seriously always thought he was a she, so I'm still trying to get used to it. Thanks for telling me that; it's fixed now. Since we have to credit his trans, should be hide it like you did or make a ref? I know we have a policy of not using fan translated material as ref, but it is a Japanese interview, and I want to be fair to Goldpanner.--NinjaSheik 18:55, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

I'm a little late, but I think we should have his name visible somewhere on the page. If we're hiding it, we're not really giving credit. As for the policy of not using fan sites as source, we should either make an exception here, or just delete the article, because everything comes directly from a fan site. TheSilentHero 17:57, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

I asked for suggestions, but no one replied. Thing is, while it's important interview, why do we have it? It's the only interview we have, which is why it makes the situation tricky. We already used the interview for several references, and much like how Kryten did on the Keyblade of heart's article, we credit Goldpanner via the ref. That would make things much simpler.--NinjaSheik 18:35, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Is that good? And to follow up, should we create a new namespace for important, non-production transcriptions like this?"We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 23:32, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, that's great! I didn't know we had a template like that. As for a new namespace, I'm all for it, but what else would we use it for, for example?--NinjaSheik 04:43, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

This works. As for a namespace, I think we should wait until we have more articles that would fit in that namespace. TheSilentHero 17:10, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

There's currently a proposal going on for the Keyhole's purpose that aims to be the best KH encyclopaedia from an out-of-universe perspective. Part of that could include handling interviews, translations etc. If that scheme goes ahead, we could use the translation and link to the Keyhole instead, making it easier for us. I don't think a new namespace is necessary to be honest, especially since this sort of stuff doesn't really suit the norm this wiki's content. However, the template works well for the time being. TheFifteenthMember 17:15, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

That definitely works for me."We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 18:11, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Same. :) If that's the case, we definitely should wait to see what the Keyhole is going to do. Even if it doesn't go through, a namespace is something we won't really need.--NinjaSheik 19:23, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
