Talk:Xehanort's Report

Heartstation
There's several problems with using the translated copy of the first report there;
 * 1) There are several grammatical errors in it, and without a copy of the original text, they are unfixable.
 * 2) The page specifically says not to use it without crediting Heartstation, which is much more involved than simply listing their name in the edit comments.

Instead, how about we simply link to them in the "External links" section, and wait until we can get a technically and legally acceptable copy of the text. Glorious  CHAOS!  14:06, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

 * Well, it's very clearly not called Xehanort's Letter, so I don't know where you got that. Glorious  CHAOS!  19:40, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

The first entry in the Reports section of the Journal in BBS is indead "Xehanort's Letter" which is obtained by Ven after he leaves The Land of Departure.

Xehanort's Letter

I am very grateful for the letter regarding the upcoming recognition of masters. After you received the succession from the previous master, under that heavy responsibility, you must have gone through many hardships to train the next generation.

In the past, I went as far as to injure you over a difference of opinion, forcing you to listen to my overbearing requests. Please forgive this foolish fellow student, who was never able to give you an honest apology, and allow me to come to the recognition ceremony without condemning past actions, as I would like to give my direct blessings.

After all, it seems it was not wrong as to you being chosen as the successor by our master. As guardians of the light I may have made light of my position, but as to the kindness of your heart and your loyalty towards the light I have nothing but admiration.

In my journeys around the world, I have seen much darkness lurking in worlds of light, but lately I believe the darkness has become more vicious. You may have already heard from Yen Sid, but Unverse… they are creatures of negative emotions, with no life force. These monsters are starting to have a presence in every world.

And with recognition of this dark presence I have one concern.

When I visited many years ago, I noticed something in one of your students, Terra. Terra has a great power inside himself, but I felt darkness sleeping in his heart. It may be unnecessary concern, but if Terra were to become a master then my anxiety would remain. How about holding a recognition examination? I would like you to have the final say in the judgment.

Well then, I look forward to seeing you again, after such a long time.

Xehanort Reports and Letter
I'm assuming that it is supposed to say "Nothing prevented one"? Also, could you check the capitalizations on Report III? Glorious  CHAOS!  14:52, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

I think we need to add where, and who, obtains each report under each heading. After I get the game I'll do so unless I get a decent reason not to or someone else does so before me.76.108.136.28 03:12, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

Since we haven't done that yet, could someone tell me how to get Report V? EDIT:Nevermind I got it--ShadowsTwilight 06:21, September 27, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, look...
Well Xemnas was supposed to have known more about his past than Xehanort's Heartless and Apprentice Xehanort. And considering Xigbar was there, he probably could have been informing Xemnas of what his previous incarnation's intentions... or at least what he was told of it. Braig's screen time in BbS may have been small, but his overall role was pretty large. --Hyperwre_2.0 02:17, September 17, 2010 (UTC)

Progression
Reading over all the reports. All of you can see the slow progression to madness in Xehanort right? It's pretty clear that these reports span many decades and the weight of Darkness on Xehanort's heart. But despite all of that, we actually see an ounce of compassion in Report X when Xehanort trys to leave Ventus on the islands. Could this be the last ammout of light in him? Xemnas and Xehanort's Heartless wouldn't have wasted a second on any of their victims, yet the full part did. This just intrestes me. Hyperwre_2.0 02:42, October 20, 2010 (UTC)
