Kingdom Hearts II
DiZ, unknown to Organization XIII, began using the Old Mansion as a headquarters for his revenge. Along with Naminé and Riku, he set up computer systems and Memory Pods in the basement levels of the manor, and monitored Sora's progression as he regained his memories while Roxas lived in a virtual simulation of Twilight Town.
The restoration process finishes exactly one year from the day
that Sora created Roxas, and Sora, Donald, and Goofy awaken from their
sleep with their memories restored up to the point that they entered
Castle Oblivion, but do not know how long they were asleep, or how they
got to Twilight Town. Sora says that the surroundings are rather
familiar, and the group wonders if they had ever been there before.
They wander the streets, looking for answers, and ultimately meet Hayner, Pence, Olette, Seifer,
and the other residents of Twilight Town. In the Sandlot, the Struggle
tournament organizer will explain how they end up doing Struggle
battles. In the Market Street, the tram has stopped running and the
Moogle shop is closed, sporting a sign that says "Synthesis Workshop -
coming soon!"
Eventually, they encounter King Mickey, when he saves them from a
group of attacking Nobodies and tells them to board a magic train to
the Mysterious Tower.
Once there, the tower's master, Yen Sid, gives Sora new clothes, new
abilities, and explains the situation with Organization XIII. He also
returns the Gummi Ship to them, and puts them on their new quest.
Sora and the party return to Twilight Town twice during their adventures. The first time, he learns that Kairi fled Destiny Islands in search of him and was kidnapped by Axel. As he leaves town, he is stopped by Saïx, who taunts him into defeating more Heartless for Organization XIII.
The second time, the party, along with Mickey, Hayner, Pence, and
Olette, go to the manor where Sora and the party awakened, and find the
digital Twilight Town, which leads them to The World That Never Was.
Characters
Name | Journal Entry | |
---|---|---|
Roxas (ロクサス Rokusasu?) |
A boy who lived in Twilight Town and saw Sora's memories in dreams.
His summer vacation has come to an end, and many of his thoughts and feelings with it. | |
Naminé (ナミネ Namine?) |
A girl with the power to manipulate memories.
She seems to have some strong connection to Sora. | |
Hayner (ハイネ Haine?) |
A boy who lives in Twilight Town who has a bit of an attitude
problem. Once he gets an idea, he has to LIVE it — and Pence and Olette
get dragged along for the ride.
There's bad blood between Hayner and Seifer — the town's self-appointed "disciplinarian". | |
Pence (ピンツ Pintsu?) |
A boy who lives in Twilight Town. He hangs out with Hayner (their "leader") and Olette (the responsible one).
As for Pence himself, he's relatively laid back. When there's a problem, he takes his time and approaches the problem realistically. He likes spending time with his friends -- especially when there's Sea Salt ice cream. | |
Olette (オレット Oretto?) |
A girl who lives in Twilight Town. She spends most of her time with Hayner and Pence.
Olette makes sure to look after the two of them, and won't stand for unfinished homework. She likes to go shopping on Market Street and watch the sunset while talking with her friends. | |
Seifer (サイファー Saifā?) |
Final Fantasy VIII
Self-appointed head of the "Twilight Disciplinary Committee". Seifer does his best to keep the town up to his own rigorous standards, but not everyone appreciates his high-handed tactics -- take Hayner's gang, for example. His followers Fujin and Raijin are never far away. | |
Rai (ライ Rai?) |
Final Fantasy VIII
One of Seifer's followers... y'know? Rai tends to get carried away -- and truth be told, he feels like he can't hold a candle to Fuu. | |
Fuu (フウ Fuu?) |
Final Fantasy VIII
One of Seifer's followers. She never says a word more than she has to, leading to some very unusual "one-worders". Fuu has Seifer's complete trust, and sees her mission in life as making herself useful to him. | |
Vivi (ビビ Bibi?) |
Final Fantasy IX
A boy who lives in Twilight Town. It's not so much that he follows Seifer. But he's so meek he does whatever he's told anyway, and usually gets stuck with the chores. In spite of all that, Vivi likes Seifer and admires his strength. | |
Setzer (セッツァー Settsā?) |
Final Fantasy VI
A wayfaring gambler who's ready for any game and any challenge. He'd even cast his life to the chips and let luck choose its course. Setzer is the Struggle's prior winner. He tends to be followed by an army of lovestruck, screaming girls. | |
Elmina (エルミナ Erumina?) |
Final Fantasy III
A strange race that pops up in even stranger places to open shop. Moogles hate having their pompoms ruffled (don't we all?), but the pompom rufflers just keep coming in droves. Maybe that's why the moogles use holograms to run their shops now, while they kick back at home. |

Characters - Tron, Master Control Panel and Commander Sark.
Description - The world Tron was recently announced. It was planned to be in Kingdom Hearts 2 from the start. It will have the old computer sounds and will also feature a mini game called Light Cycle. The Light Cycle was in the original movie but Nomura didn't make it exactly the same as it was in the movie. What changes he made to the mini game is not known as of yet.
Written by Itani.
Characters - Mickey Mouse and Pete.

Characters - King Mickey, Roxas (Blonde Haired Kid), Hayner, Pence, Olette, Seifer, Raijin, Fujin, Vexen, Axel, Setzer and DiZ.
Description - Being the first world that Sora, Donald and Goofy enter, Twilight Town may be the next Traverse Town, being at the centre of all the action, with shops, places to rest and portals to all other worlds.
Itani's Description: If you've played CoM you would have had a small preview of Twilight Town. This world will probably have the same role as Traverse Town. Where you go buy items and weapons. The Disney site is also updating it's Twilight section. Nomura recently said that there's no point of making Twilight Town big but not featuring anything. So he has added sidequests through out Twilight Town. One is skateboarding with BHK.
