The town was restored to its proper place, albeit in a state of destruction for the FF crew to clean up. close the door, I would imagine some physical changes would occur just like how Maleficent's demise burned away the thorns in the topmost spire of the castle. Nomura probably wasn't really thinking that much about the town in KH1, and focused on the ruined castle. The base of the castle seems to be encased in either rocky outcropppings or ice (not sure which) so perhaps a lot of the ruins are frozen. So it's possible she laid siege to the town and raised the water level of the rising falls to flood the city, OR raise the castle far above what remained of the town post heartless invasion as that's the only other place besides the falls we can access. Think about it, Maleficent had swarms of heartless at her disposal which would be very effective in demolition given the infinite possibilities of their forms. It's also more likely that the darkness wasn't responsible for losing parts of the world, but more of a matter of actual physical destruction. Halloween Town also changed slightly.Ĭlick to expand.Most of what we see at the villains vale (Maleficent's base before she abandoned it) are indeed remnants of the world that were in the BBS Radiant Garden (such as the aqueducts and a few pieces of the town). Having in mind 358/2 Days takes place between both games and Agrabah looked like in KH1, there wasn't any reasonable time window for the remodeling to happen. KH2 Agrabah was completely different from KH1 Agrabah. Also, where did Maleficent's castle in KH2 come from? It had some debris at its base that resembled the KH1 castle, but that was Ansem's castle.īut you know, Radiant Garden isn't the only world which changed a lot in the course of a year. Radiant Garden is full of inconsistencies, such as how the castle is different each time, both its exterior appearance (common elements are obviously there but some parts of it don't match at all) and the interior architecture (the areas we see in KH1 and KH2/BBS look nothing alike despite being the same building). Hollow Bastion wasn't totally destroyed because what remained of it was still in the realm of light, but why should that make a difference? Whichever parts of the world that were swallowed by darkness should have returned (people did return after all) instead of being physically constructed again by its residents.ĭark Road reinforces the idea of worlds being able to restore themselves, each at a different rate. Worlds destroyed by darkness restored themselves on their own once the Door to Darkness was sealed, without people reconstructing anything. "Restored to its former glory" was the logical end of RG's arc but it shouldn't have happened offscreen. I don't care if the restoration committee was pulling out all the stops, it's been a few months at most since KH2, not enough time to get the world back to how it was. Aqua also got her Keyblade back offscreen.Īnd to top it off, the world we do get to briefly see and visit in photo mode is a recreation of BbS era RG. How are the inhabitants of RG reacting to the return of the people who destroyed their world? We didn't get to see it and with the timeskip we probably never will. So having it reduced to a cutscene-only world was disappointing, but they also did the bare minimum with it. KH1 had it as a seat of darkness, KH2 had the inhabitants rebuilding, and BbS was a flashback to before the fall. These plot threads meant that the world had a clear arc of its own. It also had subplots like Aqua's Keyblade and armor being there. It had a central plotline running because it was the birthplace of the Heartless invasion and Organization XIII. Radiant Garden/Hollow Bastion used to be what was arguably the most important world in the series.
