Talk:Yozora (video)

Where is it stated the Master of Masters is the hooded figure that appears in the video? - 03:19, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
 * As far as I know, there is no confirmation, so it should be removed as speculation. 20:36, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Agreed. -Adv193 (talk) 20:40, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Agreed, but at the same time, it SHOULD be noted the figure has the exact same posture as the Master. It's distinct enough to warrant a mention, but not enough to outright state it's the Master himself. --Samoa Joe (talk) 07:07, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

TWEWY relation (and wikia links)
Just glancing at the history here before I make any repetitive edits, and I'm seeing that the World Ends with You acknowledgement has been done and undone already. If there's concrete reason for disregarding this, I will be happy to hear it (#SincerityMode), but it should be pointed out that the building is "104", not "109", which is concretely the Shibuya that Neku and Joshua were fighting for/against. And the government building doesn't counteract that, because Shinjuku was acknowledged and [REDACTED] in TWEWY Final Remix.

On an unrelated note, were the problematic links in said undone edit just poorly-changed markup, or has Wikia's rebranding given the wiki templates trouble? I'm noticing the Dissidia NT links on Toy Box are still using wikia.com URLs. Draconai (talk) 04:15, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
 * The reason that edit was undone is because there's no official proof that those buildings are related to TWEWY. 10:49, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

At risk of being repetitive, the building is labelled "104", and the real one is labelled "109". I don't really see how it isn't related to TWEWY. Draconai (talk) 16:44, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
 * The 104 building only exists in TWEWY. As Draconai said, the real one is labeled 109, making the 104 building in the Yozora video a direct reference to TWEWY - JTD95 (talk) 17:09, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

One thing you guys need to know - and pay attention to - is the rest of the city. Notice the billboards, displays, signs, etc. None of it is written in Japanese. In fact the language appears to be very similar to the one that shows up on Ansem's computer. I think that alone rules out any relations to Shibuya from TWEWY. --Samoa Joe (talk) 17:36, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
 * No it doesn't rule out any relation to Shibuya from TWEWY when the fact is that the 104 building ONLY exists within TWEWY and now appears within KH as well. That is a huge connection. I'm not saying that the Shibuya Sora and Riku wakes up in definitely is the same Shibuya from TWEWY, but that building is definitely a reference to it. - JTD95 (talk) 19:18, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Reference doesn't mean it's the same thing. Yozora is very clearly a reference to Noctis, doesn't even remotely mean they're the same dude.  --Samoa Joe (talk) 20:16, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
 * The 104 reference is as much of a reference to TWEWY as the Lady and the Tramp fountain in Traverse Town is. Same goes for the Mad Hatter sign in the second district and the Chip and Mrs. Potts teacups in Deep Jungle. The Yozora and Noctis connection isn't as concrete as of now as the 104 reference, but that too should probably get a mention at some point. The 104 building is not a coincidence. Nomura did not randomly chose to place the 104 number on it rather than the 109 number. That was a deliberate decision. - JTD95 (talk) 20:32, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Dude, seriously. You're turning this into an obsession.  109 is a trademarked department store and brand.  The only reason why they used the numbers 104 in TWEWY was so they could avoid paying royalties.  They literally did the exact same damn thing with every other brand and store in the game - it's just 104/109 is a very large and prominent building, like the Sears tower.  It's a minor reference and literally nothing more.  You really need to let this go.  --Samoa Joe (talk) 05:59, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Would also point out that the "language [...] that shows up on Ansem's computer" is just the sort of omnilingual gibberish that anyone with artistic skill uses when the contents of a written item are unimportant and/or read aloud but a blank surface won't do. Furthermore, billboards, displays, and signs in TWEWY aren't usually shown in detail, and when they are the English versions at least show them in English, so them not being in Japanese in the Yozora video does not automatically rule out a TWEWY reference. Draconai (talk) 22:00, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

Ultimately, this really boils down less on whether it's an intentional reference or not, and more on whether it's a confirmed reference. Per policy (See Help:Editing), we do not allow speculation or rumors in articles. Until its confirmed a reference to TWEWY (via interview or future game), it cannot be added to the article. 22:47, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

Again, "104", not "109". If Potts and Chip in Deep Jungle are considered a confirmed Disney reference, I fail to see why the 104 Building is not considered a confirmed Square Enix reference. The 104 Building is a designation that only exists in TWEWY, that's not speculative. Draconai (talk) 23:20, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Potts and Chip are confirmed Disney references because they were confirmed Disney references when they first appeared in the movie. 03:09, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Okay, I just grabbed a random one out of JTD95's list and I really hope the consequences of that doesn't mean what I think it means. It sounds like you're saying it's not considered a "confirmed reference" until #WordOfGod brings it up. Which means that, unless I failed to see the link to an interview or need to read the Ultimania or something, the Lady and the Tramp fountain and Mad Hatter signboard in Traverse Town are not considered "confirmed references". There is avoiding speculation, and then there is overcaution. Draconai (talk) 04:25, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Other appearances
This video has the "reconnect kingdom hearts" tagline, which was used previously on other ending videos which were canon, not non-canon like the original deep dive and the gathering.

As such, we should include its events in the kh3 sections, not the "other appearances" sections. 16:24, 11 February 2019 (UTC)


 * I knew Another Side Another Story, Deep Dive, and The Gathering were non-canon conceptual teasers, but I was always under the powerful impression that Birth by sleep was canon. Its events were recreated in the game practically frame by frame. --Samoa Joe (talk) 17:38, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I think it should still count as other appearance. Other reconnect secret endings were all using the same graphics as the game, and were basically just extra scenes. Endings like Deep Dive, The Gathering, and Yozora all use super-fancy CGI graphics and are some kind of vague trailer of whatever game comes next. 18:12, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
 * KH3 is the outlier though. A bunch of story scenes use super-fancy CGI this time around.  --Samoa Joe (talk) 19:03, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Technically, the "enhanced scenes" used throughout KHIII ("Let It Go," Flynn Rider's revival, etc.) are of a different style than "Yozora." The graphics in the secret ending are slightly more detailed. Compare Riku in the ending scene to "Yozora," and you see a big difference. - 19:19, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Birth by Sleep (video). 21:01, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

I don't think the use of the phrase "Reconnect. KINGDOM HEARTS" is meant to signify whether a video is canon or not. Since we do not know yet whether this video is canon or not, or just conceptual, I agree with TSH is leaving it in Other Appearances for now. 22:40, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
