Birth by Sleep - Ventus - A Certain Context

So here's some questions I still have: How is Ven connected to Sora/Roxas? What is the real relationship between Vanitas and Ven? Where did Ven's heart go? Is Xehanort, Ansem the Wise's assistant around? What did Ven have to tell Terra? What is Aqua's dream? Does Ven think he always lived with Eraqus, Terra and Aqua? AND WHAT DOES VANITAS LOOK LIKE UNDER THAT DAMN HELMET! I bet he's attractive... *_*

  • So again we’re here at the Land of Departure and I’m really tempted to just cut and paste from the other two reviews but that would make me feel bad so let’s see if I can recap this in a new way…
  • The trio heads back to the castle and we get the creepy “last night we ever spent together beneath the same stars” line again.
  • Is it weird that I feel like I’ve learned so little even though I’ve played through 2/3rds of this game?
  • Mickey, again, Sorcerer’s Apprentices it up.
  • Time to pick out our character!
  • D’waaah I’m already falling in love with Ven again. Yeah, I’m still sore over the whole “awful” comment back in Radiant Garden.
  • Back to the Mark of Mastery exam only this time we don’t have to do nothing but stand still and look… young? Innocent? Kinda girly?
  • I don’t know what it is about Ven he has the same face as Roxas but there’s something more feminine about him.
  • Again with the light balls and again the TWIDDLE FINGERS OF DOOM AND DARKNESS darkness them up.
  • Oh hey we get to fight!
  • This… is one of two times the three of them fight together. The only other time being Mecha!Unversed.
  • I miss Mecha!Unversed and his lulzy ways.
  • This fight is super short so I haven’t really gotten good feel of Ven’s fighting style yet. I expected him to handle a lot like Sora/Roxas but… that doesn’t seem to be the case. I dunno… we’ll know for sure soon.
  • Blah blah blah Eraqus, blah.
  • Hey, I have now written enough of these reviews do be able to spell Eraqus’ name without looking it up!
  • Okay so again Aqua and Terra fight, Terra goes all ‘DARKNESS ARM!’ and Aqua gets to be a Master and Terra gets NOTHING, YOU LOSE, GOOD DAY SIR!
  • Both Aqua and Ven try to comfort Terra, blah blah, he’s having none of that.
  • VANITAS! >3<
  • Terra goes off for alone time and now… will we get something new?
  • Yes!
  • Ven’s lying in bed playing with his wooden keyblade, he seems to be thinking about something…
  • PLOT BELL!
  • Wait huh a flashback?
  • Ven’s in the courtyard with Terra and the pair of them are practicing, Terra with his keyblade and Ven with the wooden one. Terra smiles at Ven and then… flash to him telling Ven off? He seems disappointed… OH FOR FU-… He made Ven cry! D: But at least he seems sorry about it. Flash to them laughing…
  • D: Why no Aqua love Ven?!
  • Ven sits up in bed and goes running for Terra.
  • Okay I know I made a couple (a lot) of jokes about Ven getting into Terra’s pants and I know these games, if taken in a certain context, seems to be giving a thumbs up to the fangirls but SERIOUSLY VEN, JUST DO TERRA ALREADY AND GET IT OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM. I will not put up with this for a whole storyline.
  • Ven finds Terra and does his best puppy impression and Terra blasts off on his scooter.
  • Good bye Terra, have fun being a gullible idiot!
  • Whelp here goes Ven… and it makes it seem like this is his first time blasting off/going into space.
  • Off we fly on our boogie board!
  • Awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
  • D-link with Aqua and Terra and… a letter?
  • The letter hints about Xehanort dropping a Dead Eyed Ven off at Eraqus’ place and about Terra having darkness lurking inside and possibly of setting up a Mark of Mastery test. Not sure if that means that before they weren’t going to do the MoM (heh) or if Xehanort and Eraqus planned to do the light/darkness balls.
  • One world is unlocked so off we go!
