Hello khinsider! first thread...something quick i thought of while reading a thread on vanitas' appearance:
if i remember correctly, Nomura said that he chose the name Vanitas for 2 reasons.
1. It's meaning ("Emptiness", in latin)
AND
2. It sounded similar to VENTUS.
for those that have played some form of Chain o' Memories, toward the end of the game, Riku Replica would talk to sora about how he is fake and EMPTY...
now, maybe sometime in BBS, Vanitas finds out that he is a replica of Ven. this could xplain why Vanitas is obsessed with Ven's strength, because he might want to **DAYS SPOILER*** absorb Ven like Xion wanted to absorb Roxas. **END SPOILER***
although i would personally hate if this were true, cuz i think the replica idea has been more recycled than Starbucks coffee sleeves. thoughts?
