  • Ven's heart is in Sora, while his body is in the Castle. Heartbeat sensor would be useless here.

  • Somewhere inside, Ventus is sleeping a long sleep.

  • Castle Oblivion,a place for sadness and sorrow,to forget who you are and be someone different,a place to people forget you...I wish I could live there.

  • uhh yea. Or whatever the next game is gonna be

  • Comment removed

  • 5 people are lost in oblivion.

  • This place didn't cause you to lost your memories, but made you "lost in oblivion" since this place is a labyrinth to protect Ven huh? I like this background story!

  • Hmm but what I wonder is how Orginisation 13 discovered Castle Oblivion... if Xemnas knew the existence of this place since he knew it was the Land of Departure before, then he must been aware of what Aqua did to the place, meaning he knew a piece of Ventus was already in there...

  • @UnholyRenton In some added scenes in Kh2 final mix Xemnas goes to hollow Bastion and talks to aqua's armor in a secert basment so he probely got the location from that

  • @UnholyRenton The Terra part that was in Xemnas wanted to be reunited with his friends, which is why he wanted the castle thoroughly searched for the Chamber of Awakening.

  • Goddammit, Aqua.

  • 'Tis ironic how the beautiful Land of Departure was turned into a foreboding, twisted labyrinth by a Keybalde Master rather than a villain, and that Aqua actually did it to protect ven and to protect the world from being used for evil.

  • We know your origin now, Castle Oblivion! >:3

  • The world that never was is my favorite world in the game :D

  • now i think about it, i can see fragments of the land of departure. how did such a carefree land turned into this barren ominous ruin

  • @animefanultimania Holy shit, I CAN see that! :O

  • its a sin the the land of departure turned into this place i hope one day it will return to it heart

  • This is the song that plays in my head during the days when I was still studying at the famous University of Asia and The Pacific, a place where I lost more of my memories as I advanced in my training there underneath its Opus Dei wardens.

  • oh god and sora was so close to ven all this time -.-"

  • So they leased Castle Oblivion, and moved to The World That Never Was. Haha

  • OMG CASTLE OBLIVION it used to be the land of depature until master eraqus told aqua to change it to what it is now right

  • ah, this bring back the feelings back then

    :<

  • Woo~ quite an improve from the GBA version.

  • @nejirox51693 They say that Castle Oblivion was the Land of Departure, but Terranort forced Aqua to "remake" it

  • @Reshiram315 Not exactly. Master Xehanort wrecked the place with darkness, but Master Eraqus told her, somewhere near the beginning of the game, what to do if that should happen. That the makers of the Land of Departure devised a "trick".

  • wait... im totally lost... y does castle oblivion exist? and one of my friends told me it was originally another castle or sumthin....

  • @nejirox51693 im confused now too

  • this place fits its theme just...

    why does it look so awesome on the inside anyway?

    and why can't it look awesome like the castle that never was on the outside?

  • HI VEN!

  • this place....damn xehanort for destroying the land of daparture and making aqua turning it into.....this

  • Hear that bass drum at 0:40?

    Hear it?

    It's a beating heart.

  • I have a question...Why didn't Sora forget why he was there in the first place?

  • Castle Oblivion......a world that was ruined by xehanort, but was repaired by aqua...it's rather sad to see this world in shambles like that

  • I was looking out the window listening to this and a bat flew past my window. Creepy.

  • "Just use the key, and this land will be transformed. From that day forward, all who visit this land will be lost to oblivion, none ever able to solve the mystery. None, Aqua, except you."

    —Master Eraqus to Aqua

  • Just looking at the pic of it it's like one side is happy the other side is very omnious i would hate to be stuck in a place like especially when this music comes on

  • @Yaboy352407 i wouldn't....i'd either lose my sanity or ...yeah i'd lose my sanity

  • Im getting chills just listening to this song lol but i realize that it was aqua who seal the keyhole and turn LOD to CO of all the Geniuses and COM was not easy to beat either she was trying to save her friends but she created a living nightmare for sora riku and me i hated those cards should have did command style can't wait for KH3 Kingdom Hearts is awesome

  • Aqua girl... why'd you have to make such a fucked up castle?

  • I hope in future games you can freely visit Castle Oblivion and depart from there. I don't want it to be Cutscene only as in BBS or Days, but I neither want to be stuck there like I was in Chain of Memories...

  • ven is still sleeping in there

  • "To Lose Is To Find, And To Find Is To Lose. That Is How Things Work In Castle Oblivion."

    Just listening to this makes feel like I can remember the pain and sadness I have seen and heard.

  • Wouldn't want to live in the attic, let alone a SIDEWAYS attic.

  • Just look at that castle now... It's not even twisted, It's damn mutilated.

  • So without knowing it, Aqua caused a lot of pain for Sora and his friends. It makes me wonder if she would ever do it willingly...............

  • Say, is it Aqua who made this?!

    ...How mad can you get??

  • Surrounded by darkness but only to represent a boy of light. Ironic. P.s @locxinxvii is the twist to your name perhaps be Colin or a random name?Or! A close cut name to zexion's weapon?

  • I have had re: CoM for about 2 years, and as always for me....

    i'm still stuck on Cloud.

  • i cant belive that the land of departure looks like this when Aqua closed the keyhole and it caused Sora, Roxas, and all their friends so much grief and no one can get through safely except for Aqua. I like how it takes 5 games for Sora to even figure out that he wasnt just chosen randomly.

  • if luxord was a boss in here he would be the hardest boss ever

  • @NextBlazeEx I understand why they didn't put Luxord in Castle Oblivion for another reason. He'd be using cards to attack with his...cards...

  • @MewEeveeSkitty1 Cardseption

  • @NextBlazeEx Imagine that... Him powering up his cards, stealing yours, attacking with every card at once...It'd be a bit redundant though, haha.

  • @TheRikka21 its worst ho he dos need to recharge

  • i bet you $10 that Ventus is on the side island of Castle Oblivion

  • @Roxas6674 He's in a secret room deep in the castle.

  • @Roxas6674 let's just hope you don't have to enter from underneath the island, you'd be screwed then :(

  • Has anyone noticed that when you look at the picture it goes all weird?

  • @Gustavo09211 It's not a picture, it's actually a video that is made to look like a picture. Watch carefully. You'll notice that there are 2 similar repeating pictures.

  • The boy who used to make the X-Blade is in there sleeping

  • When i heard this today again, I realized i had forgotten it long ago and yet i feel that i now understand the theme much more than i did before... I just hope i won't forget anything important for finding that out...

  • someone hacked this in KH2, it was weird

  • Castle Oblivion is a place of eternal sadness.

    You will either relive your most painful memories or wander its halls with no memories at all, doomed to live with the pain of having forgotten everything important to you.

    Ventus lost his heart, Aqua lost her friends and Terra lost himself.

    The home they once knew is now Castle Oblivion.

  • @Aqua311 Thats was deep.

    @Roxas6674 If that be the case, I'd say Axel forgot to check that area during Days. In other words, he didn't get it memorized. XD

  • @Aqua311 Maybe so, but in the next kingdom hearts game, they will all be saved by sora

  • @MrbigZAq In Dream Drop Distance?

  • @Aqua311 no kh3

  • @animefanultimania But Dream Drop Distance is the next KH game.

  • @Aqua311 yeah, but i dont think sora will be saving anyone in dream drop distance

  • @Aqua311 I agree with you all the way...Castle Oblivion is the Grim Reaper's newest abode in this place of blank white noise and encasing his victims in a snarl of painful memories and events

  • @SinJazzinnaShiLa18 A fitting home for those who feel nothing.

  • @Aqua311 Yes a desolate place of sorrows and sins with bountiful emptiness waiting within...^-^

  • @SinJazzinnaShiLa18 You have a way with words.

  • Once I came (back) to this place, I was like "nooo, time to lose our memories... AGAIN!"

  • when i first saw this i was like, god thats creepy.

  • LOVE THIS PLACE! to bad im a UK person and couldnt get RE:com.... but i have RE:coded so i still got my fun here ^_^ but i still want re:com thouhg, maybe they'll put in the ps store sometime in the FAR distant future

  • @frogradar Re:com is hard.. if you like tactics.. then youll beat it in a flash (but of course you need effort LOL

  • i still cant believe that castle oblivion used to be the land of departure

  • imagine the castle being a hotel.... hello welcome to hotel oblivion (inserts evil smile here)... personally i would not want to stay there

  • For some Reason the castle almost looks like the Nobody sign

  • Hum The Land of Depature theme while listening to this.

  • "Because of this, our predecessors installed a certain... trick."

    Aqua: *looking at the castle* "...Whatever our predecessors were on when they designed this, I feel like I could use some of this right now."

  • You know it would be so amazing to have various quotes during BBS echoing softly in the backround while this piece plays, it would add to the eerieness and tragedy of what once used to be the atmosphere and what it is now.

    Like,

    "Being a Keyblade Master is all I've dreamed about".

    "XEHANOOOOOORT!!!!

    "Has the darkness taken you Terra??!!?!

    "Ven..when I need you the most, I know you'll be there for me"

  • @darkcandy1 That would be cool. :)

  • el castillo del olbido inpresionate esque es incereimble

  • If anything i would want to help Aqua fix her world, but....you gotta love Castle Oblivion, i love the LoD too but this place, its more sinister, "certain trick" indeed~!

  • this song does creeps me out

  • i remember first starting this game, and castle oblivion, the music sounds like your walking down a very long hallway, and the closer you get to the door, the more endangered your life becomes.

  • damn lack of euro/aus release of recom -.-

  • now that I've beaten Birth by Sleep, this music is much more appropriate.

  • @KayneArcheron I completely agree with you. It adds even more tension knowing that certain events took place there.

    I remember seeing LoD for the first time, and I was like "NO FUCKING WAY... Yep, definitely Castle Oblivion." (The future of LoD)

  • @KayneArcheron right there with u~!

  • I don't know why, but if i had to choose anywhere in all of Kingdom Hearts to go, i would choose Castle Oblivion, i love how it looks and its awesome how its is the Land of Departure after being reformed.

    ahh... i love Kingdom Hearts :)

  • @idk1204 i love Castle Oblivion i would come here too~! and i would look for "someone" here~!

  • so..sora stood where terra, aqua, and ven trained to become keyblade masters?

  • SPOILERS:  Considering what I now know about the origins of Castle Oblivion I can now sense the eerieness of the empty shell that was the Land of Departure. Sorta makes you think that Castle Oblivion is the Land of Departure's Nobody.

  • This song makes me think of Oblivion it's like the mere theme of Oblivion.. the kh series has some of the best music.. ever.

  • @MultiFridgeman you're both wrong.... {SPOILER} Actually after Ventus defeated Vanitas his heart like Vanitas said vanished after Ventus destroyed the X Blade but he didn't really vanish he's resting in Sora's heart which enabled him to have a partion of Ventus's powers allowing Sora to wield the keyblade he's also still in Castle Oblivion in a room were only Aqua knows were it is and as well a spoiler the reason why Riku didn't get the keyblade because he let the darkness consumed his heart.

  • This theme is so twisted.

    The higher you go, the closer you drift towards oblivion.

  • Technically, it was Namine making Sora and co.'s memories fade away, not the castle itself. Otherwise, the Organization would have begun to lost their memories when they started working in there.

  • Terranort

  • It made my hair stand on end. And that's how I'd feel if I were in Sora's shoes, knowing that this castle makes all memories fade into oblivion

  • hey look! it's luigi's mansion:-3

  • somewhere inside castle oblivion, ven still sleeps awaiting for aqua and ven to return... ~♥

  • @mistyfoot716 ven cant wait for ven to return because ven is asleep o. O

  • @dradone5 sorry i messed up ^^;

  • @mistyfoot716 lol its k :P i thought u meant sora for a sec

  • @dradone5 don't you think BBS was the saddest KH game ever?

  • @mistyfoot716 next to 358/2 yes :(

  • ppl claim TWTNW is the "Nobody" of all worlds, but TWTNW actually does exist. i mean, i know most of the nobodies and the organization are gathered there, but it never was any different or was never destroyed or transfigured in any kind of way. Not like Castle Oblivion at least (formerly Land of Departure). the land of departure was once home to all keyblade wielders-in-training and was once beautiful and serene. but now its become a disfigured empty shell of its former self (just like a Nobody)

  • @RaZ28079 castle oblivion had a heart though (a keyhole) just like the land of departure the world that never was didnt have a heart or a keyhole it relied on memories to stay intact it was world trying to become complete a nobody world and i'm pretty sure when riku and sora fought xemnas the world that never was, was destoryed back into nothingness

  • @marie90 

  • @marie90

    It's what the Land of Departure BECAME. Castle Oblivion.

  • @marie90 of course castle oblivion had a keyhole. the land of departure and castle oblivion are the same thing.

  • @lastblade3 <.< I know that, I was talking about the differences between the world that never was, a place that doesnt have a heart to stay intact but relies on memories to stay intact its essentially a world trying to become a real word, and castle oblivion which actually had a keyhole

  • @marie90 it's funny... for once i actually don't know what to say.

  • @marie90 I think the world still exists, albeit as a city and a castle tower reduced to rubble.

  • This song sounds so scary & sad at the same time

  • ***spoiler**

    castle oblivion was once Land of Departure.

  • @alexpro00red3 seriously??? how?!

  • @SexynojutsuKiba

    Around times of Birth By Sleep, Land Of Departure got destroyed. Aqua (Female Keyblade Master with blue hair) made Castle Of Oblivion from pieces of Land Of Departunes castle. So, in other words, Aqua tried to rebuild Land Of Departune, (Or atleast I think so) but ended up with Castle Of Oblivion. Take a notice, that this happened WAY before first Kingdom Hearts. That's all I know.

  • @PokeKoopa A better explication to it: Master Xehanort almost destroyed Land of Departure with the power of darkness, and long after that aqua remembered what master Eraqus had told her: if he was struck down and there was nothing left for this world, she had to take his keyblade and turn this castle into a place where no one will remember ever being there when they leave, no one, except her.She put ventus in the room of awakening of castle oblivion so his heart could sleep safe (out of letters)

  • @kokoroyer wait.. what?! Does that mean Ven is still in there SOMEWHRERE?! O.O

  • @TheFunGamer94 While he should be, he's not. His body merged with Sora's, because he was very sad and Sora opened up to him to listen, and agreed to let Ventus sleep in his heart, so he wouldn't be sad. That is why when Sora became a heartless, his nobody looked just like the other boy in his heart. Even though Ventus shouldn't be awake, a small part of him did, his body. And Roxas had feelings even though he was a nobody cause Sora's heart had the strength of two hearts. One for the nobody.

  • @kokoroyer

    wait... if ven's heart was inside sora... could it be that roxas is actually ven's nobody?

    I mean, look at lea and ïsa. they turned out the same as nobodies as they did as somebodies. maybe when sora stabbed himself with riku's keyblade, ven's heart was lost and created the empty shell: Roxas. Roxas looked like Ven, but also had ven's heart. so when sora and roxas became one, sora could use 2 keyblades.

    Just speculating here, nothing official. still a lot of gaps to fill @_@

  • @Multifridgeman as far as I know, it's not exactly like that. My theory (even though yours has a good point, too) is that since Sora's heart is like 2 in one, when he got a nobody it could also use the keyblade, because ven also had one. when xion was made out of most of Sora's memories and self, a bit of Sora's keyblade went to xion, but she also needed to kind of take a little of roxas's keyblade's power to summon her own at will. It was only a fake because SHE was a fake. An incomplete key.

  • @kokoroyer

    hm, now that I think about it, i was wrong in a way.

    -SPOILER-

    the dark part of ven looks like sora, and i guess the dark part of sora looks like ven.

    but xion was made from sora's memories of kairi. it still eludes me how kairi came to be able to weild a keyblade, let alone riku obtaining one for her.

  • @Multifridgeman 2 spoilerful things:

    xion was only made of sora's memories, not just kairi's. she looked alot like kairi because sora loves her and has a lot of memories from her. She also looks like Sora himself to most people. Kairi could wield a keyblade because if you playd birth by sleep as aqua you see a scene in radiant garden where kairi goes to aqua afraid of the unversed, and touches her keyblade. Since aqua sort of "accepted" her to do so, and aqua protected her, she can wield one too

  • @kokoroyer

    no, only riku was chosen by terra to wield a keyblade. aqua thought about choosing sora, but she had sensed that terra had already done riku. the spell she cast on kairi was to take her somewhere safe whenever she was in danger. that came into action when kairi lost her heart. aqua's spell made kairi's join ventus in sora's heart until sora released his own heart to save kairi.

    oh, i forgot to say spoiler-ish o.o

  • @TheFunGamer94 yes >:3

  • @Thiefofthelight16 It's serene, yet at the same time, ominous and, to an extent, scary.

  • ...ah Aquas home, after............

  • @superdragon92 ???????????????????

  • @frogradar trust me on this...i know much more about this place than i should.....sadly? or happy?

  • @superdragon92 aqua is in BBS isnt she? and uve probly ben watching the japanese walkthroughs of BBS

  • @superdragon92 i know now... it the umm.. oh i forgot.. but it was sommit else oh yeah land of departure and ven fel into a sleep thing... and she created castle oblivion

  • @YamiGraan07

    COM was hardest ( bad that i played it with 10 years , it was so difficult x)

  • 5 assholes who don't know good music.

  • yeah, in my opinion, it´s really the hardest games from Kingdom Hearts. Uh, I had many problems. XDDD

    But the theme is really awesome ^^

  • @YamiGraan07 I can't even beat Vexen the first time on Beginner! D: I'm like level 40 and HE'S IMPOSSIBLE!!

  • @LexiconReader i'm gonna pull a yugioh line here: balance out your deck and be sure to have 0 cards to cancel out his sleights, and pack plenty of cures and potions

  • @YamiGraan07 or use hax to stay in dark mode like i did lol on proud lol

  • @LexiconReader

    Dude, don't feel bad. I played on beginner, and I really couldn't beat him either. Then I went back and started a new file to, you know, see if I could pick up any tips and when I got to a save point....well...I saved over my own file.....*sniffles* I had to play the game over again.  But I must say, the second time around everything was a lot easier cuz I took my time and leveled up. xDD

    If youre still stuck, get some new cards from Moogs. Or level up repeatedly.

  • @YamiGraan07  the first kh was harder than this! D:

  • @dradone5 at least in the first one, you didn't have to use cards to get everywhere!

  • @YamiGraan07 at least u culd stop enemy attacks nd go kil the bitch in the first kh the moment i attk another heartless gets at me xD

  • @dradone5 lmao USE THE MAGIC! PRESS X! PRESS X! YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO SMOKE A BOLD, BITCH! HEARTLESS IN THE ROOM! XD

  • @YamiGraan07 lol XD i dodge rolled and everything something always manages to get when donald nd goofy isnt looking xD

  • I hope whoever built that castle is rotting in Hell.

  • @Aqua311 I find that comment to be very Ironic, Aqua311... ; )

  • @dixtremo Well I don't know who built it yet but the whole place was a pain in the ass. The card system, the changing rooms, the repetitive memories from the first KH game...

    Being locked in there forever would likely be the equivalent of Hell, especially with all the Heartless around.

  • @Aqua311 If you play bbs you'll find out who built the castle, and I just found your previous comment to be funny because that person is basicaly rotting in the darkness and your usernam~- nevermind, you'll eventually get why I said your previous comment was Ironic. sorry if I'm being rude... =3

  • @dixtremo I'm not reading your post because I already got some idea of what you mean, from what I've heard here and there. I can't play fricken Birth by Sleep because it's not available in North America until September, so how the hell would I have known without looking it up and spoiling the game for myself?

  • @Aqua311 your right, sorry... i also hate spoilers... yet I do know some stuff I wish I didn't know about bbs... I Want to play the game sooo fricken hard ='(

    But I dont even have a PSP x'(

  • @dixtremo Save up your money, then get the PSP and the game.

  • @Aqua311 Umm.. Yeah... I would tell you, but it's BBS Spoilers... Message me if you want to know... I think you *may* take that back when you find out.. :s

  • @plasmavore Don't bother. Since I made that post, I read somebody else's comment somewhere about how the castle is a creation of Aqua's. Now I get the irony because of my own name.

  • I thought the card system was a little lame, because you could lose them if you weren't careful and then lose the battle.

    But there's nothing more lame in Kingdom Hearts than the Command Board. That stupid fixed shit of a minigame always gives me nothing but headache.

  • I believe the castle is supposed to be a representation of Aqua's grief over losing Ven and Terra. That's what all the doom n' gloom is. The flower motif is Marluxia's redecorating.

  • that building on the right,could it be the memorial to ventus or something?

  • Throughout the whole game(i have the GBA version),I was like this:

    "You know what,forget this.This game is really hard,and I'm not gonna wait for me to beat it after 3 months of wandering!I'm gonna find Ven NOW!"

    But then I figured out the secrets and got farther,but then it would repeat.

  • If Ven is inside Castle Oblivion THIS MUST MEAN THAT KH3 is going to happen at Castle Oblivion.

  • And the World of Darkness. After all, Aqua is there.

  • @Tc24Him64 Perhaps. But I think KH3 may be divided into segments or multiple storylines. First part, rescue Aqua and Ansem. 2nd Part, raid Castle Oblivion, get Ven. Finale: Get Terra his body back from a resurrected Xehanort.

  • @Sraye Epic storyline awesome

  • Doesn't this song remind you of the Sochen Cave Palace theme from FFXII? They are both amazing songs! =]

  • This music is very omnious, how very appropriate for this game of kIngdom hearts. This music reminds me of the ways of Fate and Destiny, I can feel the seriousness from this music. It's very intense.

  • ...Ah, and btw the floor of the COblivion looks like the tiles from my bathroom!xD

    And sorry abt my eng, cos it is not very good, and i hope you guys have understand everything i said!

    And great upload man, i love it! 5*

  • This music is one of the reasons why i love KH and SquareEnix games.

    And when i hear this song on my iPod or when i'm playing in Castle Oblivion on RE:COM, i just stop Sora and put my TV volume on max, and start hearin this song, that almost blast my TV speakers, but i don't care, cos i love it!!

    And i don't know how to describe this music, but i sure know 1 thing!

    That this music seems like a Heaven's Song, sunged by angels or something!!...

  • the kingdom hearts chain of memories manga is so funny its worth the read, some events have been changed but the story gives the 6 organization members more depth to their characters

  • I like the inside better

  • Seriously, what the heck was the Organsization pulling making HALF OF THE CASTE SIDEWAYS.

  • it wasn't the organization that made castle oblivion. play birth by sleep and you'll find out ;]

  • One problem with that picture: I don't have Birth By Sleep.

  • Well don't just stand there with a problem in your hand!! lmao

  • the organization didnt build the castle, though but whoever designed it was on a acid trip
