I don't know if anyone knew this, but I found out that bastion means refuge or stronghold. Combine that with hollow, which means empty or empty within, and you get empty refuge or refuge that is empty within. So, what do you guys think about this? I think that Hollow Bastion is very fitting since it was kind of void of life...

This is interesting. Perhaps Hollow Bastion is a shell that once contained many lives which is why it is now called Hollow.

hollow bastion was once a castle to defend of attackers that was sent to the sky by ansem and kept the castle for himself where he created the heartless in peace

Re: Something interesting about Hollow Bastion

I understand why it would be named Hollow Bastion now, with it empty and all, but I don't think it would have fit with all the people residing there before it was destroyed. Maybe the word bastion would have given them a sense of safety and refuge, but an empty refuge? But then again, that's probably just Square's creativity at work.

Re: Something interesting about Hollow Bastion

Very nice...it does make sense and seems to fit.. An empty refuge, where Ansem had begun to lose control and where the heartless cam from. It's interesting.

Yeah, I found out about that a while ago.
Square's name always have some sort of meaning. It's fun figuring that it out.

Well wouldent that got with the 11th Ansem report?

I have chosen one special girl. I do not know if she possesses a power like that of the Princesses. But, there is a chance, and this is an experiment. She may lead me to the place where the one holding the key is...

I shall send her off to the ocean of other worlds.
