The Mark of Mastery is not a competition.

[DenizenofTwilight]

Meh. Sora's always been like that though. And overly competitive.

I just think it's how he deals, you know? Kind of like how Snow in FFXIII made a joke of everything because he was so full of turmoil; it was the only way he could get through it all.

However, there are definitely some reasons Sora might not pass. I really hope he does though. It'd make taking the MoM seem mighty pointless.

Anyway, he might not pass because he needs to put the worlds' needs above his own. He needs to focus on the Heartless and not tournaments, for example.

Also, I feel Nomura might decide for fans to truly relate to Sora, he should stay a simple wielder. Nomura always says he wants people to look at Sora, and think they too can do great things if they try. That might be difficult if Sora's a Master. Besides, then he'd have no excuse to revert Sora to lvl 1. LOL. And maybe he'd like to show Master's not all it's cracked up to be.

And so far, it seems the people expecting to pass don't make it (like Terra). And those that don't do (like Mickey and Aqua). It could be the shocking ending.

Like many have said, maybe someone will interfere. Maybe they'll temper the Darkness in Sora's heart. Maybe Roxas, Xion, Ven, and Vanitas might effect him.

Anyway, there are reasons Sora might fail, but I personally want both Sora and Riku to pass.

Riku has darkness in his heart so he aint passing just like terra but he will get out of the dream world. Sora will pass

Just because Riku uses Darkness doesn't mean he'll automatically lose. Yen Sid isn't racist against the Darkness like Eraqus was. Besides, all they really need to do to pass is make it out of the Dream World.

And as Rob said, it's not a competition, it's a test.

like i said they will get out plus racist against darkness really??? calm down ok

[Azure Flame]

It's a term I use. Another way to say it would be that he's not prejudiced against it. Eraqus abhored the Darkness because he didn't understand it. He thougth it was only evil. Yen Sid understands better, and knows that Riku has control over his Darkness, unlike Terra.

True that, tulupe dupe!(<- ignore that, just...idk) Though I thought Riku now uses Darkness and Light. And Sora from the Heart. I think anyways.

To quote Master Eraqus, "Today you will be examined for the Mark of Mastery. Not one but two of the Keyblade’s chosen stand here as candidates... but this is neither a competition nor a battle for supremacy―not a test of wills, but a test of heart. Both of you may prevail, or neither."

[animemylove]

It's not actually a matter of winning or losing but I assume Riku will appear back at Destiny Islands first, (assuming they will both become masters) just because he always seemed to be the stronger of the two. But you never know, Nomura did say he wanted to surprise us.

I really think that what will happen is some how the two will get into it deep and need to help eachother out, and both win the mark of mastery. I dont think its going to be granted to one and not the other, they are too important to the story and this is what will help them move forward.

My question is, as I am pretty sure they will be granted title of master if not in this game eventually, will Sora and Riku take on apprentices?

I doubt they will, unless other people get the Keyblade later on.

[Sora's Baby]

If they did though kh could last longer.

[animemylove]

I feel there must be other keyblade masters out there somewhere as all this shit is going on, and if so im hoping they'll arrive after kh3 if not sooner

Tht is wat I was trying 2 say.

Well why not? Would make the story more interesting would it not? A re-building of the Keyblade order?

Yea and maybe a break from Sora.

[Azure Flame]

Yea and maybe a break from Sora.

Nomura said Sora will always be the main character, even in the following Saga's.

[Kishira]

Yea, I also had that thought, even before reading the trailer discription I couldn't help but get this nagging feeling Sora might not pass; I hope I'm wrong though, I wanna see both of them pass! But reading what he said on how he can't be beat didn't exactly help ease that gut feeling that he's screwed. .w.; I mean, there's nothing wrong with having faith in yourself, in fact Riku could use some of that these days.....which kinda makes me wonder if Riku has a chance to pass too. His lack of confidence might cause a Terra effect....in which he tries really hard to release the worlds from sleep and because he's so focused on doing the right thing, he ends up doing something that makes everything backfire. @v@;;;;

Hmmm......hopefully this exam teaches Sora to not be so cocky, and for Riku to have the right amount of faith in himself. Both of them have an extreme case of one or the other atm. I'm rooting for them though! ;w; <3

[Kishira]

Yea and maybe a break from Sora.

We have had a break from Sora, they're called 358/2 Days and Birth by Sleep. xD

[FlipMode]

I think Riku will pass his first, but by the end of the game they both will have done so.
