Talk:Hollow Bastion

Would someone mind providing a summary of how to navigate through the jail in the waterway please? I'm having trouble reaching a certain part there, and it might be helpful to others. Thanks.

I think some of the information here should be moved to radiant garden

Cinderella
Would anyone mind putting a picture of Cinderella on here, not the class version in the awakening, but the actual picture plz. Thanks

Treasures
Certain treasures were changed around in Final Mix, though the only ones I know of were Royal Crown and Ramuh Belt. Is there anyway for someone to look them up? We need to. Glorious  CHAOS!  06:52, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Books
Anyone have an idea what the names of the books mean?
 * Theon Vol. 6, Azal Vol. 3, Mava Vol. 6, Salegg Vol. 6, Nahara Vol. 5, Mava Vol. 3, Hafet Vol. 4

Those are the books and their numbers. Mean anything to anyone? Doreiku Kuroofangu 20:01, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

Azal is a grape, Nahara is a moth. But I don't thinks that's waht they mean...Redeemer &amp; Destroyer 13:36, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

"Theon" resembles Greek "theos", meaning "god, deity". Christoph  I am all ears. 02:23, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

The plot hole
This is what I concider to be one of the biggest plot holes in Kingdom hearts: In the End of the World, Sora visits a small portion of each of the worlds depicled thoughout the game; In the one that is unmistakably Hollow Bastion, it is an area that was never seen before or after where a computer screen tells a strange and hard to understand story. Any way I just wanted to say that and see if anyone has an idea?

The blue part
Does anybody know the purpose and name of the blue underside of both Hollow Bastion and Radiant Garden? It's not a reflection as it appears in the original Kingdom Hearts world logo.--Digitor 16:46, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Maleficent's group.
Shouldn't all members of Maleficent's group's articles say that they also reside in Hollow Bastion, sice all their meetings were held there.(Bananaphone1996 03:37, June 28, 2010 (UTC))

Merging

 * I agree. This article is supposed to be about the castle itself, not the World, but it's way too confusing like this, considering the entire World, not just the castle, went by the name "Hollow Bastion" at one point. It'd be far less confusing and simpler to just add a subheading to the Radiant Garden article about the castle itself if we really need one. Or maybe even a sub-article as seen with Master Xehanort and Young Xehanort. Fabala011 (talk) 22:29, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Hollow Bastion II
Shouldn't this just be merged with Data-Riku? We separate out the Dive to the Hearts from Destiny Islands and Twilight Town, and this is essentially the same thing. Either that, or its own "Inside (Data-)Riku" page. 19:52, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Or just another page for Hollow Bastion II? 20:14, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Hollow Bastion II is from the beginning of Inside Data-Riku through the Sora's Heartless boss battle. If you want to be technical, the only parts of Hollow Bastion featured in this part are the chapel (Maleficent boss battle) and Great Hall (lead-up to 3D shooter segment). -- 03:01, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * The reason I don't want to merge it with Data-Riku is we'd have another character-world confusion like Monstro. I'm fine with a page called Inside Riku, though I would still prefer the title to be Hollow Bastion II with an Inside Riku redirect. 07:32, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * There's no confusion since they're identical, and this is basically the exact same situation as Monstro. It's easy enough to keep story on one page, game info on one or more others. 02:35, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
 * So will we still keep Personality, Appearance and Ability sections? 21:18, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Japanese Name
Yeah it's me again. Here Utsuronaru Shiro (虚ろなる城) is the castle's name in Japanese and it is used in-game as map names. Should this be on the article and if yes, where? 03:19, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't see why not...Perhaps a mention in the settings/area section? 03:23, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I think it should go in the start of the page, just like the other Japanese names, like in abilities. -- 03:25, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Merge?
I do have to wonder, when/where was it said that "Hollow Bastion" was the name of just the castle and "Radiant Garden" the name of the world. From my understanding from playing the games, I've never heard "Hollow Bastion" used as just the name of the castle. In fact, I've never heard that the castle alone has a name, to begin with. And when "Radiant Garden" is used as the world's name, the name "Hollow Bastion" isn't used. This implies that they're both used to refer to the same thing, the world. I believe/understand that Hollow Bastion was used after Maleficent took over the world, but that the true name of the world was Radiant Garden. Having used the name for ten years, Leon and the gang didn't remember the world's true name until Tron tells them in Kingdom Hearts II. Following that event, the name "Hollow Bastion" isn't used anymore. So shouldn't we merge the two articles, since the two names refer to the world? Unless there's some interview or report or something in-game that says the castle's name is Hollow Bastion, which I don't believe there is. 04:39, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I think it roots from the fact that Hollow Bastion was just the castle alone in the first Kingdom Hearts game. 07:48, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I believe if there was a interview with T.N., that doubt would be exterminated, although, I agree with KeybladeSpyMaster. Hollow means empty, it became 'hollow' with the corruption of Maleficent's changes, It should have another name in its glory days. But, anyway, just my thoughts. 03:17, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
 * So then should we merge the articles? Because other than the limited area seen in the first game, there's little reason for Hollow Bastion to refer to exclusively the castle. Like I said, if Hollow Bastion were about the castle, the term would be used even when Radiant Garden was used as the world name. But it isn't; Hollow Bastion is used in Birth by Sleep, Dream Drop Distance, or following the reveal of the world's name in Kingdom Hearts II. In addition, a discussion higher up on this page brings to question whether the castle in Kingdom Hearts actually becomes the ruins that are Villains Vale in Kingdom Hearts II, which further discredits the idea that Hollow Bastion refers to just the castle. 04:31, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
