In ''[[The Gathering]]'' and ''[[Birth by Sleep (video)|Birth by Sleep]]'', Terra, Ventus, and Aqua each have capes attached to their suits of Keyblade Armor, but these capes were removed in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' due to frame rate issues.<ref>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> In ''Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX '', during the final cutscene in Terra's story, the Lingering Will sprouts a cape; this maintains continuity between ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' and its later appearance in ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix''. | In ''[[The Gathering]]'' and ''[[Birth by Sleep (video)|Birth by Sleep]]'', Terra, Ventus, and Aqua each have capes attached to their suits of Keyblade Armor, but these capes were removed in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' due to frame rate issues.<ref>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.

Tetsuya Nomura stated in an interview that he chose to use armor to hide Terra, Aqua, and Ventus's yet-to-be-designed faces to avoid using the [[black coat]]s of Organization XIII again. Nomura's decision was also influenced by the recent release of ''Final Fantasy XII'', which featured the armored [[finalfantasy:Archadian Judges|Archadian Judge Magisters]]{{fact}},<!--source for FF12 being the source--> as well as an early, canceled project of his.<ref>[http://www.siliconera.com/2014/07/25/tetsuya-nomuras-batman-figurine-came-canceled-videogame-project/ '''''Siliconera: Tetsuya Nomura’s Batman Figurine Came From A Canceled Videogame Project''''']</ref> | Tetsuya Nomura stated in an interview that he chose to use armor to hide Terra, Aqua, and Ventus's yet-to-be-designed faces to avoid using the [[black coat]]s of Organization XIII again.

I just haven’t drawn their faces. (laugh) I can’t hide their faces with black hoods like in KH:FM’s secret movie, too. Who knows what kind of grudges I’ll invite if I just change the hood’s colour. (laugh) That’s why I chose armours. First I only drew the atmosphere and the rest is done by the staff. But FF12 has Judge in armour so I made a more heroic design for them.--> as well as an early, canceled project of his.<ref>[http://www.siliconera.com/2014/07/25/tetsuya-nomuras-batman-figurine-came-canceled-videogame-project/ '''''Siliconera: Tetsuya Nomura’s Batman Figurine Came From A Canceled Videogame Project''''']</ref> | |||
