KH3D KH 3D timeline

[Rakuroikusan 6]

That would be awesome actually. Do you guys think that the "Mysterious Figure" optional boss in Birth by Sleep, was intented to be some sort of clue for this game? I've noticed in some vids out there in youtube that sometimes, when the MF gets hit, time goes backwards to before you hit'em and he regains his lost health. Do you think this guy sends Sora and Riku back in time or something? Maybe to uncover stuff they'd need to know. Hopefully this "new secret movie" in Birth by sleep's Final Mix'll give us a bit more info about this game, and when it actually takes place...

[hatok 6,413]

Actually, Re:Coded is the game to look at for 3D hints.

[KaUiA 0]

Yeah, I just saw the re:coded secret ending which involves Mickey and Yensid talking. When Yedsid tells Mickey to call Sora and Riku, I think that in 3D, it might possibly be their test to become a full fledged keyblade masters. That's just a guess though. We'll never known until the game itself is released.

We'll probably know once the info ban is lifted and Nomura is able to release more information.

After Coded.

They'll have to take the Mark of Mastery and go defeat MX cuz after Xemnas Mansex and Ansem will result in the restoration of MX.

Then they'll hafta go save Aqua and release Ven from his slumber and all...

This isn't KH3.

[soraisventusandroxas? 0]

It couldn't be between BBS and KH1 because Sora never had the Keyblade before KH1, so unless Kingdom Hearts is suffering from some sort of time paradox, that's impossible.

 

 

During Sora's sleep, I'm kind of iffy on that, because if Sora was restoring his memories, he never had met the Twilight Thorn in the first place.

 

After KH2 is the most likely possibility.

 

well it could happen during his sleep it is about him regaining his memories also the twilight thorn could have been put in by the nobodys so that he would never wake up but I personally think it will happen after coded

[Rakuroikusan 6]

I would imagine that 3D'll be like a prologue to KHIII, there's no definite proof, but in my opinion, it takes place after coded/Re:coded. Since all new worlds are to be introduced, it's safe to say that Sora isn't sleeping his year long sleep in this game, because he wouldn't remember places he hasn't been, even if he were to remember the worlds Ventus explored. Which leaves us with the KH1 clothes, i say there's two possible reasons for those: 1-The game is in their early stages and the used those clothes for the time being, or 2-it's story related(a trip to memory lane back in Castle Oblivion, or maybe some Yen Sid magic sends them somewhere, or in another time). I think this game is going to be what Chain of memories was for KH2, it'll setup the plot for KH3. Mickey says they found out where Ventus' heart might be, and he may also know where aqua is too, maybe KH3D is all about taking the Mark of Matery exam, and then go out and find Aqua, so they can wake up Ven. Yen Sid says that they "only" have 1 master, maybe for some reason they litterally need more than 1 for something specific, i think KHIII will be about saving Terra, the end of the "Xehanort Saga" would be epic if Sora and Riku would team up with Aqua,Ven and Terra to take down Master Xehanort on the PS3

It does take place after Re:coded.

The KH1 designs are used for some secret plot related reason.

 

I think this game is going to be what Chain of memories was for KH2, it'll setup the plot for KH3.

Essentially.

 

Mickey says they found out where Ventus' heart might be, and he may also know where aqua is too,

He does, somehow.

 

maybe KH3D is all about taking the Mark of Matery exam,

It is.

 

and then go out and find Aqua, so they can wake up Ven.

That's more likely to be left off for the next game, or KH3.

 

Yen Sid says that they "only" have 1 master,

Referring to Mickey. He's retired, so he doesn't count.

 

maybe for some reason they litterally need more than 1 for something specific,

Pretty much. They're so desperate for Keyblade Masters that they're putting Sora and Riku through the exam even though they really aren't ready for it, compared to Terra and Aqua.

 

i think KHIII will be about saving Terra, the end of the "Xehanort Saga" would be epic if Sora and Riku would team up with Aqua,Ven and Terra to take down Master Xehanort on the PS3

KH3 will probably cover mending everyone's hurting, not just Terra's. Helping Terra is actually a lot easier than some make it out to be, so if the game just covered that, it'd be relatively short ^^;

 

But yeah, that's the general assumption right now.

Actually reversal, Nomuira said that there is a mystery as to why Sora and Riku are in their KH1 clothes. And i wouldn't really say that they're "desperate" to find keyblade masters. Remeber, Sora was Chosen by the keyblade due to Riku succumbing to the darkness in the first KH game. And Riku of course got his keyblade (Way To Dawn) when he defeated Ansem in C.O. and when Ansem the wise's machine exploded. Besides, Sora is the "key that connects to anything", so of course Yen Sid will give him the Mark of Mastery Exam. as for Riku,pretty much what i just stated^^.

As much as i want to agree, i think saving terra's gonna be the hard part. It's just a matter of time that they find aqua, and with aqua they can get to Ven. But when Xemnas and Ansem(Heartless) were destroyed maybe the only one that was restored was Apprentice Xehanort,the original entity that lost it's heart. Maybe Master Xehanort taking over Terra's body was somekind of failsafe in his plan, and maybe that's why they need more than 1 master, maybe it's to safely remove Master Xehanort from Terra's body, maybe even with the X-Blade, which would benefit him really since he wants it forged, which would support his plan in the long run. And unless they're interrupted during the Mark of Mastery Exam, and they're given a mission from Yen sid as a substitute test, i highly doubt the whole game is about the Mark of Mastery Exam. That's why i think the plot'll progress with the whole "freeing them from their torment" arc.

Only problem is that the current status of Ven's heart is unknown. What's the point of getting to him if his heart is still incomplete?

 

But when Xemnas and Ansem(Heartless) were destroyed maybe the only one that was restored was Apprentice Xehanort,the original entity that lost it's heart.

 

Terra's heart is currently within Riku. As for Xehanort, the two most common theories I've been seeing are:

 

- Master Xehanort's heart rejoined with his body and soul, or

- MX used Terra's body and soul to become whole again.

 

In any case, the return of Apprentice Xehanort, what with all the new information that's been released, doesn't seem very likely to me anymore. But that's just speculation.

 

Maybe Master Xehanort taking over Terra's body was somekind of failsafe in his plan,

 

He took over Terra's body because he already had one foot in the grave and wouldn't live long enough to see his plan to fruition. He talks about it in his reports, the process of extracting and transfering your heart from vessel to vessel in order to live forever.

 

and maybe that's why they need more than 1 master, maybe it's to safely remove Master Xehanort from Terra's body, maybe even with the X-Blade, which would benefit him really since he wants it forged, which would support his plan in the long run.

 

Well, we haven't seen all the abilities that come with being a Keyblade Master, so we can't really say. Probably on the right track though.

 

And unless they're interrupted during the Mark of Mastery Exam, and they're given a mission from Yen sid as a substitute test, i highly doubt the whole game is about the Mark of Mastery Exam. That's why i think the plot'll progress with the whole "freeing them from their torment" arc.

 

The exam is different depending on Master and student. We've only seen two short examples of what could take place. It's not to farfetched to assume that Sora and Riku's will be much more than just destroying balls of light or dodging thunderbolts, considering, again, they're not exactly up to par with true MoM examinees. And also, Nomura already confirmed that 3D will cover the exam.

 

So will Kingdom Hearts 3D be the telling of their Mark of Mastery exam?

 

Nomura: Kingdom Hearts 3D will be the platform for it. We

[Rakuroikusan 6]

All very good points, i had forgotten that Riku Harbored Terra's heart. I'm surprised they didn't include kairi as a playable character, since she has a keyblade now.

[Reversal 53]

Sorry to disappoint, but no, she doesn't. That Keyblade never showed any signs of belonging to Kairi. If it did, at the very least, she should've summoned it herself. The Destiny's Embrace Riku summoned belongs to Apprentice Xehanort, taking on that appearance due to Riku's memories of home.

[Tails 6,692]

Nomura said that although Kairi showed capabilities to weild the keyblade. That doesn't mean that she will ever use one. She's more like a bystander cheering on for Sora and Riku and giving them support.

[Mog 97]

Please.... Kairi as a playable character is a definite no.

[Sir Adamus 1]

I don't get why people think Kairi can't/shouldn't fight.

 

She spent a good ten years or so playing on an island where every other kid hit each other with makeshift weaponry.

And when she does get her hands on a Keyblade, she's shown to have some proficiency with the weapon.

 

Also, the 'Terra's heart is in Riku' thing. Um, I still don't buy it. Proofs plox.

Also, don't pull this on me:

True, she was on Destiny Islands for a good ten years, but that doesn't mean she used one of those wooden swords. The only people that were using them were Sora, Riku, and Tidus. Other than that, nobody else in the island were using them. And it's like I said, Kairi showed capabilities of using a keyblade (due to her being one of the seven princesses of heart ) but that doesn't mean she was technicly chosen by one.

 

Correction, she wasn't shown using a weapon of any kind, doesn't mean she didn't though.

Nowhere is it said that being a princess of heart gives you the ability to use a keyblade. Kairi inherited the ability to use a Keyblade, due to Aqua accidentally performing the Keyblade Inheritance Ceremony (as confirmed by the Ultimania). Terra did a similar thing with Riku.

 

And would you look at that, Riku got his own keyblade, which he can summon. Ergo, at some point, so will Kairi.

I agree, I was under the impression that she could use a keyblade because of Aqua, whenever someone would take the keyblade from Sora or when Sora gave the keyblade to C. Sparrow in KH2, the keyblade wouldn't stay in other people's hands. Wouldn't the keyblade've just disappeared if she wouldn't be chosen?

 

I dunno, given she's one of the most important characters in the series, she's bound to have a significant role in KH3D, if not, probably in KHIII. Still, it would be cool to have her as some kind of unlockable character, lol to give it a BBS feel, each with their own battle styles, and own storyline.

[Reversal 53]

I don't get why people think Kairi can't/shouldn't fight.

 

I say she can't.

 

She spent a good ten years or so playing on an island where every other kid hit each other with makeshift weaponry.

 

But she's the only one out of those kids who spent her time making arts and crafts on the other side of the island separated from the others and not beating the ever loving crap out of her friends.

 

And when she does get her hands on a Keyblade' date=' she's shown to have some proficiency with the weapon.[/quote']

 

The Keyblade = strongest weapon in the universe

Shadow = weakest Heartless in existence

Riku = an experienced wielder fighting alongside Kairi, thereby doing most of, if not all of the work

 

And it's not that hard to swing a long object back and forth.

No. We know that something remained of Xehanort's Heartless's influence within Riku, which was destroyed after the decoder explosion.

And no, Nomura did not hint it at all. Refusing to answer a question is not hinting.

 

Well it's possible that the part of Ansem SoD that remains in Riku could be Terra's heart.
