Twilight Town: Difference between revisions

Twilight Town is first introduced in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'', but unlike all the other worlds, it's not based on [[Sora]]'s memories, but rather [[Roxas]]'. The world is explored through boxed-in areas heavily inspired by the real town. In cutscenes, areas such as '''{{a|Tram Common}}''', the '''{{a|Pod Room}}''', and '''{{a|The Old Mansion}}''' are visited. The last area also serving as boss arena for both [[Vexen]], and [[Riku Replica]].

During the game's credit Roxas is briefly seen on top of the Clock Tower at the '''{{a|Station Plaza}}'''.

Twilight Town is among one of the largest worlds in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', with many major set pieces. One of the town's bigger locations is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Market Street}}'''|商店街|Shōten Machi}}, a long, winding, steeply-sloped road that leads from the lower areas of town to the top, stretching across multiple areas. The upper portion of the street is known as {{nihongo|'''{{a|Station Heights}}'''|駅前通り|Ekimaedōri|lit. "Station Road"}}, where a few shops are located such as [[Wallace]]'s weapon shop and an item shop run by [[Wantz]], as well as a noticeboard for various jobs, which can be experience through [[mini-games]]. The lower portion of Market Street is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Tram Common}}'''|トラム広場|Toramu Hiroba|lit. "Tram Square"}}, an open-market area with a free tram circling around. Many shops are found here, including [[Jessie]]'s accessory shop, [[Biggs]]' armor shop, and a [[Moogle Shop]]. In the Simulated Twilight Town, the Moogle Shop is a candy shop instead. Another noticeboard mini-game jobs is found down here. Both parts of Market Street connect to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Sandlot}}'''|空き地|Akichi|lit. "Vacant Lot"}}, an open area where the infamous [[Struggle]] battles take place. Both Station Heights and the Sandlot lead to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Back Alley}}'''|路地裏|Rojiura}}, where [[Hayner]]'s gang's hideout, {{nihongo|'''{{a|The Usual Spot}}'''|いつもの場所|Itsumo no Basho}} is located. In the [[simulated Twilight Town]], {{nihongo|'''{{a|Roxas' Room}}'''|ロワサスの部屋|Rokusasu no Heya}} can be briefly seen in various cutscenes. It's several stories above ground, and has a nice view of the town.

Traveling up through the Station Heights leads to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Station Plaza}}'''|駅前広場|Ekimae Hiroba}}, a large and open terrace, with a great view of the entire town. The plaza is presided over by the town's distinctive and famous Clock Tower, which, though a twelve-hour clock, has "I" at the top instead of "XII". At Station Plaza is also where the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Central Station}}'''|セントラルステーション|Sentoraru Sutēshon}} is found, which is a large train station, with trains that travel all over the world, including other districts of the town, as well as an unseen beach. There's also a magic train here that travels to the [[Mysterious Tower]].

Another district of the town, {{nihongo|'''{{a|Sunset Terrace}}'''|サンセット住宅街|Sansetto Jūtakugai|lit. "Sunset Residential Area"}}, can be reached by taking the train at Central Station to {{nihongo|'''{{a|Sunset Station}}'''|サンセットステーション|Sansetto Sutēshon}}. Sunset Terrace lies at the outskirts of Twilight Town and boarders to huge fields of grass, with a great view of the mountains in the distance. Another free train travels back and forth the area. Connecting to Sunset Terrace is {{nihongo|'''{{a|Sunset Hill}}'''|サンセットヒル|Sansetto Hiru}}, a tranquil, tiny area, with a small sculpture mimicking the Clock Tower, which can also be seen from here. Underneath the town is a vast {{nihongo|'''{{a|Underground Concourse}}'''|地下連絡通路|Chika Renraku Tsūro}}, which has several entrances across town, located at the Back Alley, the Station Plaza, and the Tram Commons. One exit leads to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Tunnelway}}'''|トンネル|Tonneru|lit. "Tunnel"}}, which in turn leads back to Sunset Terrace.

To the far right of town are {{nihongo|'''{{a|The Woods}}'''|町はずれの森|Machihazure no Mori|lit. "Forest on the Outskirts of Town"}}, a large forest only accessible through a crack in the walls of Tram Common. Passing through The Woods leads to a gate and a courtyard belonging to {{nihongo|'''{{a|The Old Mansion}}'''|屋敷前|Yashikimae|lit. "Mansion Anterior"}}. Upon entering the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Foyer}}'''|ロビー|Robī|lit. "Lobby"}}, the Mansion splits off in three different directions. On the left side of the Foyer is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Dining Room}}'''|ダイニング|Dainingu|lit. "Dining"}}; up the left set of stairs and through the door is {{nihongo|'''{{a|The White Room}}'''|白い部屋|Shiroi Heya}}, where [[Naminé]] spends a lot of her time; while up the stairs to the right lies the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Library}}'''|書庫|Shoko|lit. "Archive"}}. At the Library, there is a false floor that hides a staircase which goes down and leads to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Computer Room}}'''|コンピュータールーム|Konpyūtā Rūmu}}, where [[DiZ]] monitors the simulated Twilight Town. There's also a machine which allows transport into the simulation. The doorway to the left of the computer leads to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Basement Hall}}'''|地下広間|Chika Hōru}}, where [[Roxas]] fights [[Axel]] in the simulated counterpart. The Basement Hall then leads to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Basement Corridor}}'''|地下廊下|Chika Rōka}}, which houses a few pods, and finally to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Pod Room}}'''|ポッドルーム|Poddo Rūmu}}, where [[Sora]] slept while Naminé fixed his memories. Towards the end of the game Sora and party can access the simulation via DiZ's machine, but are limited access to only the Computer Room, and the Basement Hall. A [[Corridors of Darkness|Corridor of Darkness]] can by found in the latter area, which allows travel across the emptiness of {{nihongo|'''{{a|Betwixt and Between}}'''|狭間の空間|Hazama no Kūkan|lit. "In-between Space"}} to enter the [[Dark City]] and begin their assault on the Organization's stronghold.

{{nihongo|'''{{a|The Empty Realm}}'''|虚無の世界}} is an ominous white room where Naminé temporarily brings Roxas after his visit to [[Dive to the Heart]]. It's filled with oddly shaped boxes with varying lengths and sizes, most of them having their top portions resembling a crown. The room also seem to have no end and just goes on forever. Two other areas featured exclusively in cutscenes are {{nihongo|'''{{a|On The Train}}'''|電車:車内}} and {{nihongo|'''{{a|The Mysterial Train}}'''|不思議な電車:車内}}; featured as Roxas head to Sunset Staion and Sora traveling to Mysterious Tower respectively.
