Talk:Peering into Darkness

Data?
The header "Data" is based on the latest interview about BBSFM, in which Nomura states that, unlike the battle against the Unknown, the battles against the Armor of the Master and No Heart do not fall within continuity, and they are more like revived data than anything else. -- 00:32, January 3, 2011 (UTC)

Question?
Is this fight canon?--KRoNoS 05:07, January 22, 2011 (UTC)

No, Normura (or however you spell his name.) confirmed that No Heart and Armor of the Master are not canon. They're merely just improved data from their predecessor.

 * No, he did not say they were uncanon. He said that he made them data replicas so that they would not interfere with the story. Canon means "official story", not "must occur as part of the main thread of the story".
 * What this means is that Terra, Ventus, Aqua merely fought in a simulator - they never actually fought Xehanort in his armor. 05:27, January 22, 2011 (UTC)

Translations error
You can all read about it here, Machinations is clearly the wrong translation. --ShardofTruth 07:48, 6 July 2011 (EDT)

requoted here, since I'm unlikely to go back there.
 * I translated it as "Machinations" because the word Enbou refers to foresight in the sense of "deeply laid plans", while foresight itself can just mean "prediction". A machination is "A clever scheme or artful plot, usually crafted for evil purposes", while "inbou" specifically refers to a "plot or conspiracy" -- conspiracy being something that requires multiple plotters. "Machination" itself is literally translated as "sakudou", not "inbou". I believe "Machination" is a clearer translation of "enbou", but if there is significant examples of them being translated separately, then the change is appropriate. Also, it should absolutely be "unto" or "to the". "Of the" is simply not what the particles imply.192.249.47.165 08:35, 6 July 2011 (EDT)
 * A google search gives ""遠謀" foresight" as much more frequently used outside of KH than ""遠謀" machination", so we need to change this page's links to "Foresight unto Darkness".192.249.47.165 08:35, 6 July 2011 (EDT)
 * Thanks for the insight Kryten that's really helpful. My Japanese skills end with google's language tool.^^ --ShardofTruth 08:46, 6 July 2011 (EDT)
