Finally Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep is out!

This isn't really a spoiler but I'll put iit here anyway

Spoiler

In standard mode, do you have to beat the mysterious figure to unlock the secret video or is that optional?

Any idea if this game is emulable?I am waiting a full youtube walktrough. can't play the game but I wanna at least understand the history a bit.

In standard mode you have to fully complete the journal and get all the xehanort reports to unlock the secret video.

Although I beat the game (including secret ending) 2 months ago. Just wanna ask. Why was the origin of Organisation XIII not clarified. When Lea and Isa are standing outside the castle about to do something, they didn't show what they did...Well I'm asking questions I thought of a while ago so my memory won't be as good and my facts may be a bit wrong but oh well.

Replying to #24

I kinda have those same questions myself. I remember reading articles before the game was released that said that this game would clarify many questions associated with the kingdom hearts series. The origin of Organization XIII being one of them.

Supposedly this is how the Organization started.

Kingdom Hearts WikiOrganization XIII was formed by a group of scientists working under a man called Ansem the Wise, the ruler of Radiant Garden, and worked from Ansem's castle, Hollow Bastion. The head of this group was Ansem's apprentice, Xehanort, with the others being Braig, Dilan, Even, Aeleus, and Ienzo. Ansem the Wise began initiating tests about the human heart, focusing mainly on Xehanort, with the hopes of recovering his lost memories. At the urging of Ienzo, he constructed a massive laboratory under the castle. However, Ansem the Wise soon ceased his experiments, for he feared that going too deep would have grave repercussions, also noting Xehanort's apparently-superhuman abilities.However, his six apprentices, still seduced by the desire for knowledge, conducted their own dangerous experiments on countless subjects. Eventually, they discovered the beings called Heartless, those that are born from the darkness in a heart and seek others as well. Xehanort, having taken on Ansem's name and writing his findings under it, opened a door he discovered, breaking down the barriers between worlds and allowing travel between them. When a king named Mickey arrived, the six men's desire for knowledge eventually caused Xehanort to abandon his body, becoming a Heartless (though he was unusual in that he had a human form and retained his memories), with the other five soon following. Thus, the first six members of Organization XIII were born, and they banished Ansem to a Realm of Darkness.

But the only thing I saw in Birth by Sleep was how Xemnas(Xehanort) met half of the members and where Braig(Xigbar) got his scar.... I guess the rest must have been in the ansem reports.... Which I never read....
