What L.S. really is..

[Yannis]

Interviewer: May I believe that the one you fight in KH2FM+, and Terra are the same person? Because they both use a very similar kind of Keyblade.

Tetsuya Nomura: If they really are the same person, or not is uncertain, though it doesn't matter if you think they are the same person.

I have come to a conclusion about Lingering Sentiment -boss. This was basicly impossible for me before I finished the FM+ by myself.

Now, look at these dialogues:

Before Lingering Sentiment Battle
-------------------

L.S.: Aqua... Ven... Keyblade... Who are you? I can feel it - we have met
before. But when... No... it isn't you... It isn't you that I have
chosen. Why isn't it him? Xe...ha...ort... Is that you? Xeha...nort...
Xehanort!

After Lingering Sentiment Battle
------------------

L.S.: I see. Your strength is... What I sensed in you is...

After acquiring the Olympus Stone
---------------------------------

Goofy: A-hyuck?
Sora: You again!
Demyx: I went through a lot of trouble to find you. I'm going to tell you about
a toy more interesting than the Olympus Stone. It's called an "Absent
Silhouette".
Sora: Absent Silhouette? You mean that book from before?
Demyx: It's not just limited to the book. Branded with the weapons left behind
by their absent masters, they are shadows of existence. If you fight
with them, you will surely awaken. The real you I mean.
Sora: What are you talking about?
Demyx: You're the hero. Figure it out yourself!
Sora: What was that? An Absent Silhouette?
Donald: Worry about that later! We need to hurry and rescue Meg.
Sora: You're right!

The cutscene, when Sora and co. arrives to the Lingering Sentiment´s world.. The world is not real! In absent silhouettes Sora goes to worlds like Twilight Town and Destiny Islands. The absent silhouettes are basicly remnants of Organization members. Their power, their weapons are lingering in special places and Sora must defeat these remnants of their power.

I think you have already realized, but allow me to explain: Im saying that Lingering Sentiment is just a remnant also. But its power doesnt come from Terra´s weapon. The power comes from his great hatred. The name of the boss can be translated to "Lingering Emotion"

Also in interview Nomura hints that L.S. is not Terra, but it doesnt matter if we think it is. My theory would explain Nomura´s words perfectly. If L.S. is remnant of Terra´s hatred, he is basically Terra, but still its just a remnant.

The portal doesnt disappear like organization silhouette -portals, because Terra´s hatred is so strange.

L.S. tells things to Sora, but it might be just to give the names of Aqua and Ven and also to tell that Riku was supposed to have kingdom key.

What do you think? Plausible?

Thank you for confirming what we already knew.

So, the Terra in KH2FM+ Isnt real? Is an Absent Sillhoutte? Wow. I never knew that. I DID know the Absent Sillhoutte orginization member thing, though.

[tazztig]

I alway's wonder about the L.S and what he was talking about. Maybe Terra does use his keyblade for hate. I mean didn't he say all he had for Xehanort is hatred.........

What LS really is is a non-canon boss battle. Yay.

Canon=Has relevance to the plot

Noncanon=Doesn't matter

[.Oji]

Lingering

1. To be slow in leaving, especially out of reluctance; tarry.
2. To remain feebly alive for some time before dying.
3. To persist

Sentiment

1. A thought, view, or attitude, especially one based mainly on emotion instead of reason

The LS is literally a lingering sentiment -- I thought people were aware of this already.

Ok. This is DEFENITLY Non-Canon in all ways.

Alright, first off yes, Lingering Sentiment/Terra is a Absent Sillhoutte in KH2:FM+
and I think this just all the more proves that Terra is somehow connected with Sora's heart (through the keyblade obviously) but who knows, just speculating xD

Good reference! I completly forgot about this scene

LS is not a Absent Silhoutte in KH2:FM+ -- he's exactly what his name implies, a lingering sentiment.

Ah, another Yannis thread. Will you ever get one right Yannis?

How do you know? Sora's battle with Xemnas aka Enigmatic Man in KH:FM turned out to be canon. It was Xemnas testing Sora and also what he was referring to when he told Roxas that he's been to see him and "He looks just like you".

[Symphonic Piece]

To me, the whole 'Absent Silhouette' thing sounds like an excuse for SE to throw in those org battles that realistically couldn't happen. But if KH2FM+ somehow makes its way over to the west, I won't complain.

Because Nomura pretty much said it and no one ever said that the battle with Xemnas wasn't canon. lrn2notnewb

Wow, really? Because Nomura explained that he wanted the org fights in from the get go, and it's not an excuse. You used the wrong word in that sentence buddy.
