Talk:Dark Mode

whew!* that was fun. Could someone give a second opinion on whether a page for Riku's Halloween Town form should be made? Also, could someone be so kind as to add this to the Form template? I tried, and I failed.

What triggers it ?
Shouldn't we mention the bits : Dark Mode only occurs if you manage to fill the Dark Points gauge up to 30, and once you're in Dark Mode, you lose your Dark Points when your cards are broken ?  TNÉ  En avant Bravo ! 12:31, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I think we should. It surprises me that it's not in the article yet. Lev L  12:40, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

Picture
Is that the best picture we have of Dark Mode Riku?--Masgrande 18:42, November 6, 2009 (UTC)

How Riku get it?
i always thought that it was Maleficent who gave dark mode to him, but i was reading vanitas talk page and someone said that was passed from Xehanort heartless to Riku, so could some one tell me how did he get it?

It's in the article. Riku first got Dark Mode from Maleficent in Kingdom Hearts, but lost it when his body was taken by Xehanort's Heartless. In Castle Oblivion, Xehanort's Heartless gives Riku the ability to use Dark Mode freely. - Lev L  17:56, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

Not freely. He has to get the counter past 30.--User:RedemptionUltima 03:22, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * That's considered almost freely, in the sense that he can get the counter up to 30 if timed right and broken well, at any point in time. Agi Idup Agi  Ngelaban !  03:24, December 29, 2009 (UTC)

Game Significance
We should really add sections detailing Dark Mode's information from the first Kingdom Hearts. They way the page looks now makes it seem as if it only is shown in CoM. This really would be in a story section - EternalNothingnessXIII 03:29, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

Well, in a way, it was only important to people in Com. So, yeah.--Xienzo 07:07, December 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * But wherever a certain element appears, all its in-game appearances should be mentioned. We even mentioned EoTW for KHII (in Roxas' dreams), TWTNW in Another Side, Another Story...... so something as important as Riku's Dark Mode should be given mention, especially when we saw Riku using it at his own will.

Jornal Entry?
The page is talking about the lack of journal entry of the first KH but i do not remember the form has a journal entry, so could someone tell me if it has or not?--Xabryn 20:10, December 16, 2009 (UTC)

Riku's Journal Entry "evolves" over the course of the story. After you first face him in Hollow Bastion, the entry shows his "Dark Mode" picture. That Journal Entry. - Eternal Nothingness XIII

Speculation
"Riku ventured into Castle Oblivion. Battling Ansem for the last time, the dark influences held upon him faded, Riku losing Dark Mode with no chance of its return, the closest to being free of Ansem he had ever been." Isn't that speculation?--Xabryn 21:30, February 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Riku losing DM, no, but closest to being free of Ansem, yes. ★ Joyeux Wiki versaire ! ★  00:42, February 4, 2010 (UTC)

We're not sure if he lost it he is not see using it anymore--Xabryn 14:55, February 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, after that, he didn't use it anymore, and after the first battle with Xemnas, he loses his Darkness entirely, and Mickey says to him that he doesn't belong in the Dark Realm. Thus, Castle Oblivion is the final instance where Dark Mode is used. <font color="#2A52BE">★ Joyeux <font color="#1E90FF">Wiki <font color="#71A6D2">versaire ! ★  14:57, February 4, 2010 (UTC)

Just cuz he don't belong to the dark relm anymore it doesn't mean that he can't use darkness, after ll he use it in other battles after that(like dark aura and dark sheild)--Xabryn 22:03, February 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, but remember : Xehanort's influence is gone. Dark Mode is Xehanort's influence on him. <font color="#2A52BE">★ Joyeux <font color="#1E90FF">Wiki <font color="#71A6D2">versaire ! ★  01:10, February 5, 2010 (UTC)

we're not sure about that but fine until nomura explain it(IF he is going to) we change it--Xabryn 01:17, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, if he does. About DM being Xehanort's influence on him, I think the best would be for you to rewatch or replay the earlier stages of Re:Chain and see what you can make of it. <font color="#2A52BE">★ Joyeux <font color="#1E90FF">Wiki <font color="#71A6D2">versaire ! ★  01:20, February 5, 2010 (UTC)

Ansem SoD have tempered Riku's darkness. After that he sazid that to rely on it or not is his choice i guess that fater Castle Oblivion he choose to not rely so much on darkness--Xabryn 17:44, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
