I'm not sure if anyone has asked this already, and with my poor memory I can't remember if I've asked myself or not, but...

 

Birth By Sleep. Donald and Goofy are both seen at the Mysterious Tower. So, in other words, in past events, Donald has been there, and Donald has had to have acknowledged that Master Yen Sid resides in that Tower.  

 

So why is it, that in the events of KH2, that Donald acts completely surprised when he finds out from Pete that Yen Sid lives there? As if it was the first time ever hearing such a thing, like he's never known before? 

 

EXPLAIN THIS. 

Basically BBS is a plot hole vortex that sucks KH2 in it, as well as any logic created by it. Same with KH1, since apparently Ventus is the only reason now that Sora could use the Keyblade back in one before he grew in strength.

"My friends are my power" made Sora's heart proven itself to be strong enough to carry the Kingdom Key without needing Ventus' heart.

Nomura said in amother interview that this is not at all the case.Edit: Looks like I've been Ninja'd

I brought this up a few weeks ago. Like others have said, this is a plot hole without a doubt. But the way I see it, each major game he's made created new plot holes. Although Merlin used an alternate method to create a door to the past, it's still uncanny.

I like to think of ways around this one.

Yeah, that's one of the more confusing ones. I like to think of it as some combination of Yen Sid's tower island basically being able to hop through time and space (and thus always looks "different" every time) and Donald not actually having stepped foot outside the tower. If you think about it, Sora exited in his Gummi Ship from Yen Sid's window, so maybe Donald and co. were transported directly into the study (and then directly exited from there too).

Donald and Goofy meet Ven outside the Tower.

Donald and Goofy meet Ven outside the Tower.

Then I retreat to my previous stance of "magic and also they're both morons".

Nomura said in an Interview that they didn't thought about it during development of BBS

Even though Nomura couldn't think of it at the time. You have to remember they were just asleep for a year. So they might still be recovering and forgot a few memories. I mean Namine probably could not fit in all the memories so they just forgot. Also they probably haven't been there in a few years and didn't realize the tower was so close to Twilight Town. Also they both have a memory of a toothpick and forget things in 5 seconds. I am surprised they remember Sora's name.
