Talk:An Oath to Return

Name of the ending
Something interesting to note: In Theater Mode, the secret ending is titled "Secret Ending: Falsus Rex", which of course translates to "false king" - not "An Oath to Return." Worth a mention somewhere on the page? --Samoa Joe (talk) 17:54, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
 * The secret ending menu option is called that, but there are multiple scenes in there. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to beat it yet, so I can't confirm the actual scene name. EDIT: The bad ending is called "I've Been Having These Weird Thoughts Lately". 18:09, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

That's not the name of the ending, that's the name of the Secret Episode. The page appears to be an observation of the ending cutscene, not the episode as a whole. EDIT: For clarification, that's pointed at Samoa Joe's comment about "Falsus Rex". Draconai (talk) 18:14, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

I'm just gonnna... huh. I'm just gonna throw this out there. I'm just spitballing. Do we have any sort of citation that the ending where Sora wins is the true ending, as opposed to just being positive? Because with this discussion about cutscene names, I'm starting to doubt how false the bad ending is. Draconai (talk) 20:30, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
 * None whatsoever. There's a good ending, and a bad ending, but nowhere is it clarified which one is the canon ending. I think we need to stop referring to the good one as "canon" until a proper confirmation of some sort. I can think of a lot of offhand examples where a bad ending was canon. Final Fantasy XV, off the top of my head lol. --Samoa Joe (talk) 20:58, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

You have no idea how nice it is just to have someone not automatically assume it ends nicely. Draconai (talk) 23:28, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

Gloriosa, does it feel amazing to beat a boss that tough with your own hands. Sora beats Yozora ending is titled: "Like, Is Any of This for Real or Not?". Theater menu arranges Yozora beats Sora ending before Sora beats Yozora ending. Draconai (talk) 01:59, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

The Driver?
Got any ideas as to who it could be? I've heard people saying that it may be Luxord due to the similarity of their hair and the fact that it sounds like the same voice actor; Robin Atkin Downes. CrinosWolf500 (talk) 01:03, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Did anyone upload it in Japanese? If the driver is voiced by George Nakata, and believe me you can just tell if it's him, then it basically indirectly confirms its Luxord. --Samoa Joe (talk) 02:11, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

True Ending
According to Keytotruth, the ending where Sora wins is called the true ending in the game files. I guess that means this would be the canon one. 17:41, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
 * That settles that. --Samoa Joe (talk) 20:45, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

If the game files classify one ending as "true", then Template:Canon is still applicable to anything applying to the alternative. That said, it would still be ideal to leave the names of the endings as listed in the Theater Menu.

Also, can I just offer my kudos to whoever picked the screenshot for this page, because that is just the perfect choice. Draconai (talk) 02:35, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Isn't this similar to the alternate cutscenes in the first game? --Yellowlightning1996 (talk) 02:42, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Can't vouch for the first one (I got I.5 for the PS3, so no Theater Mode for me), but the alternate cutscenes in Twilight Town for KHII were not registered in Theater Mode. However, the alternate forms of this ending have much more significant differences than those instances, so I don't think we should call upon them for precedence.
