Star Seeker

It seems like they put that intro scene there for a reason, but I don't understand why they'd focus the Secret Ending on Kairi just to leave her out? And isn't Roxas permanently part of Sora, at least going by what he says when he meets Sora in TWTNW?

I'm assuming the Lights so far consist of Sora, Riku, Kairi, Mickey, Aqua, and Ventus. I'm inclined not to believe #7 is Lea since Goofy said he left for Radiant Garden. Now for the Darkness, I'm pretty sure SO FAR it's Master Xehanort, Young Master Xehanort (from the alternate timeline), Ansem SoD, Xemnas, Xigbar, and Isa. I personally believe Terra is a trump card for either side right now, mainly because right now his Lingering Sentiment is all that's left, but at the same time I'm conflicted since SoD and Xemnas were killed, technically causing Terranort to be revived. However, the "true" Master Xehanort was among the 13 Darkness, so does that mean Terra was revived, or was he lost for good? What do you all think?

I've been thinking recently that SE intentionally put some connections between Xaldin and Gilgamesh, from Final Fantasy V. I've noticed both of them carry multiple weapons at the same time, and you fight him in an area of Beast's Castle that resembles a bridge, in a way, similar to Gilgamesh's battle track being "Clash on the Big Bridge". Any thoughts?

Oh, I see. I really didn't think there was a difference. Thanks.

I just have a quick question that's been bothering me all day about the battle with YMX. It's been said that one must cast away their flesh to travel in time. However, after Riku takes out all of his HP Bars, he attempts to reverse time, and in the event that he succeeds the battle will start all over, albeit with YMX having a shorter amount of health. What I'm really curious about is, how did he reverse the battle and keep his body? Or was it just supposed to be a mechanic to the fight?
