Votes for Another Side, Another Story...

 * 1) Roxas was by himself against a hundred heartless and kicked ass (later assisted by Riku) Terra, Aqua, and Ven outnumbered their enemy and had their armored asses handed to them. -- 18:12, 4 April 2011 (EDT)
 * 2) This moment was the one, true moment that made Kingdom Hearts epic for me. As for Birth by Sleep... meh, the scenes are overused. -- 01:00, 7 April 2011 (EDT)

Votes for Birth by Sleep

 * 1) Fate of the Unknown > Another Side -Battle Ver.- anyday. 17:28, 4 April 2011 (EDT)
 * 2) Changed vote, Fate of the Unknown is definitely better than Another Side. 17:32, 4 April 2011 (EDT)
 * 3) I like it them better with cape before 4kids got rid of them game processing got rid of them.
 * 4) The music is way, way better. Also, throwing your Keyblade to your enemy makes no sense. 22:54, 4 April 2011 (EDT)
 * 5) Capes =D 14:18, 5 April 2011 (EDT)
 * 6) While both of these musical themes are on my "favorites" list, Fate of the Unknown trumps Another Side by a long shot. - Eternal  Nothingness  XIII  15:02, 5 April 2011 (EDT)
 * 7) Pretty much what everyone else said...Fate of the Unknown is an amazing piece- that they didn't use in the game! -- Xion 4  ever  10:55, 6 April 2011 (EDT)
 * 8) Crono phears Xion Rage ._. -- 15:06, 6 April 2011 (EDT)
 * 9) Probably one of the better concept videos. ASAS was the foundation of the series, no doubt, but Birth by Sleep has successfully made me get up from my seat in horror. Tambours Néant  Ensemble !  15:16, 6 April 2011 (EDT)
 * 10) Rewatched both of them... changed my vote. BIRTH BY SLEEP COMPELS YOU!  I still like Another Side's music better, though.  --Xigbar_-_Replica_Data.pngAS  IF! Xigbar_-_Replica_Data.png 17:47, 4 April 2011 (EDT)

Keyblade Graveyard
Dunno if anyone saw, but I altered the battle a little bit. I changed Another side, Another story to [deep dive], seeing how Another side compared to [deep dive] is kinda... lame. 20:28, 4 April 2011 (EDT) Though I'm a fan of a kick-ass battle quote, I feel we could have done better. So here ones. ''A secret beginning, a secret ending. Two stories that told the ending, but only to start off the beginning. Both stories now in battle, who would win? The on that told of another side, another story? Or the one that began off as birth by sleep? A birth of another side, another story will be determined from this battle.'' Best I can do.
 * How about:
 * A secret beginning, a secret ending. Which tale shall prevail from this conflict? That which told of another side, another story? Or that which all began with birth by sleep? The birth of another victory is imminent, as hooded and armored figures alike clash blades to determine whether this marks the beginning of the end... or the end of the beginning.
 * I basically took what you wrote and ran with it. What do you think? --Xigbar_-_Replica_Data.pngAS  IF! Xigbar_-_Replica_Data.png 21:51, 4 April 2011 (EDT)
 * I like it, now all we need to do is to get someone to change it lol.

Why was everyone saying that this one would be unpredictable? 22:31, 6 April 2011 (EDT)
 * What do you mean? This is OBVIOUSLY going to be reeeally close. --Xigbar_-_Replica_Data.pngAS  IF! Xigbar_-_Replica_Data.png 10:08, 7 April 2011 (EDT)

So... who was the one that touched my domain without permission was king enough to fix some things here?
 * Pardon, but that was me DS. Again, though, without the fight scene, A.s., a.s. couldn't possibly contend with BbS. If you don't like it, feel free to change it back. 20:57, 7 April 2011 (EDT)

AI, you better say or she will RAGE on you. I know, I've been sued many times for not doing that >_> -- 20:42, 7 April 2011 (EDT)

Votes for Ansem, Seeker of Darkness

 * 1) Tough choice, tough choice. But hardly anything beats a classic, Billy Zane-voiced Ansem. 22:15, 20 March 2011 (EDT)
 * 2) I've always liked A,SoD better. -- 22:17, 20 March 2011 (EDT)
 * 3) -- 06:37, 21 March 2011 (EDT)
 * 4) He's a better boss in all his forms. 12:51, 21 March 2011 (EDT)
 * 5) Xemnas, sorry to say, seemed to be "tacked on", whilst Ansem had a genuine plot from Kingdom Hearts. I'm going for him any day. Tambours Tonnerre Ensemble !  21:26, 24 March 2011 (EDT)

Votes for Xemnas

 * 1) Yaaaay --
 * 2) Though darkness pwns nothingness any day, Xemnas was actually smart. He made an entire organization. Ansem was just "heheh darkness rules heheh i'm controlling yer best friend waah light!" 00:04, 21 March 2011 (EDT)
 * 3) Even though it's just a change of hairstyle and clothing... Xemnas is better designed. for some reason. 11:08, 21 March 2011 (EDT)
 * 4) Two words: Ethereal. Blades.-- 12:39, 21 March 2011 (EDT)
 * 5) NOTHINGNESS- *shot* --Xigbar_-_Replica_Data.pngAS IF! Xigbar_-_Replica_Data.png 14:27, 21 March 2011 (EDT)

 * Seems okay to me. -- 18:59, 23 March 2011 (EDT)
 * Sometimes it looks fine, sometimes it has that box thing, dunno why. 19:24, 23 March 2011 (EDT)
