==Differences between the video and the game== | |||
Although the climactic scene of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' was designed after this video, there are several changes and omissions in the final version. | |||
**The omitted scenes include: | |||
***Vanitas jumping off the cliff and using Thunder on Terra. | |||
***Vanitas using Blizzard on Aqua, and Ventus attacking Vanitas from above. | |||
***Terra attacking Master Xehanort when he falls from the explosion, followed by Master Xehanort using Blizzard on Terra's left arm. | |||
***Master Xehanort cracking Ventus's helmet after he picks him up, and pieces breaking off. | |||
***Ventus's Keyblade shattering against the rocks. | |||
***Terra's eyes turning yellow after he removes his helmet. | |||
**The changes include: | |||
***Terra, Ventus, and Aqua no longer wear capes, due to frame rate issues in the final video.<ref><!---source the interview--->'''Tetsuya Nomura''': We wanted to make it so that as many people could play together as possible, but in the end we could only do six. By the way, in the ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'' secret movie you can see Terra in his armor with a cape, but we took off the cape in this game. It was to make processing easier when you’re playing with six people. Processing of moving fabric can be slow, so the speed it runs at is completely different if he has a cape or not.</ref> | |||
***Ventus holds the [[Wayward Wind]] with his right hand, and the guard and teeth of the Keyblade are now on the same side. | |||
