Radiant Garden: Difference between revisions

'''Radiant Garden''', also known as '''The Radiant Garden''', is an explorable world in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''. It is also featured in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', although only in cutscenes. Radiant Garden is the home world of many ''Final Fantasy'' characters within the series, as well as the original home world of [[Kairi]], [[Ansem the Wise]], and many of the members of [[Organization XIII]]'s human forms.

A ruined incarnation of this world appears in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]'', under the name "[[Hollow Bastion]]", consisting primarily of the castle that lies in the center of the world, with the areas outside mostly destroyed. Even after its restoration, it continues to go by this name until the final visit in ''Kingdom Hearts II''.

The final door leads out of the subterranean caves to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|[[Garden of Assemblage]]}}'''|集積の庭園|Shūseki no Teien}}, an ornate mall in the style of the [[Castle That Never Was]] surrounded by a circular wall, which is itself ringed by more of the inverted waterfalls. At the center of this mall lies a computer, which can be used to bring out the [[Organization XIII's Replica Data]] for Sora to combat. Behind the computer is a secret passageway, veiled by an illusion, leading back to the Restoration Site.

In ''Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind'', {{nihongo|'''{{a|Merlin's House}}'''|マーリンの家}} becomes playable during the [[Limitcut Episode]], and retains its appearance from ''Kingdom Hearts II''. Though the outside portion resembles its appearance as '''Castle Town''' in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''. Inside, by accessing [[Cid]]'s computer, a data version of the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Garden of Assemblage}}'''|集積の庭園}} can be entered, though it looks relatively different. The digital replica lacks a sky and replaces the waterfalls with dark streams of data, as well as dark pillars seen between them. The passage which used to lead to the Restoration Site is simply replaced with a wall. From the garden the [[Real Organization XIII's Recreated Data]] can be fought. [[Master Xehanort]] and [[Xion]]'s portals are unavailable until the eleven other members have been beaten. The area also contains a save point and a Moogle Shop. All thirteen battles take place at the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Data-Organization XIII Arena}}'''}}, which consists of massively detailed circular platforms, with neon blue and purple lines springing out of the platform. Surrounding the arena are dark and ominous clouds.
