KH2 i relized something

[kh-king 48]

So in kh2 wen u have to go to hollow bastion because it is covered in darkness wen u first see cloud why does sora not remember sephiroth? Sora fought him in the first game so why wouldn't he remember him? ya

[got it memorized 3]

Sephiroth was only an optional boss in KHI. some of us players may not have taken the time to try and beat him. hence when Cloud mentions Sephiroth, Sora wouldn't have remembered him.

Sora probably wouldn't have remembered Sephiroth

Well Sephiroth was only a optional boss and correct me if I'm wrong but Sephiroth wasn't part of the story in KH1 at all.

 

And Sora had his memories erased remember? So its possible Namine forgot to restore the very tiny bit of memory Sora had of Sephiroth.

sephiroth was an optional boss in colussem

[hatok 6,413]

KH2 assumes that Sora beat KH1 100%

This includes Sephiroth.

However, Sephiroth wasn't in the Japanese version of KH1, thus the story omission.

Well, you know, a tall guy with long white hair, a wing, and huge sword is pretty forgettable, you know. I definitely wouldn't remember seeing him, either.

Like everyone else has said, Sephy is only optional, so he technically is not part of the storyline of KH1. I don't even think they mentioned him in KH1, besides that one battle (and I don't even count that as canon anyways...just an extra thingy), so, it makes sense that Sora wouldn't recognize him.

I would pass out if I had seen a tall guy with silver hair and a super long sword O_O. Another possibility is that Namine might've thought that it was an uneeded memory of Sora's so she erased it pernamently

Optional bosses from KH1 aren't important enough to be remembered?

No, they aren't, after all, Xemnas from Kingdom Hearts 1 is remembered. But Sephiroth was never intended.

Xemnas was in Final Mix, so he doesn't count

 

But anyways, it's just Sephiroth, so whatever.
