KHUX New details on the Book of Prophecies revealed in the last Kingdom Hearts χ[chi] update

[Isamu Kuno 2,512]

adn what makes you so sure the stuff in Chi is going to be so essential for a game that isn't out yet and we know next to nothing about?

Because they've said so

"Chi will tie in to KH III" they've explicitly told us this, just like they told us 3D would.

and all those "little" details I just mentioned all tie into KH games

When did tie in become "essential and you won't understand the gmae at all unless you know these details"

They've made it painfully obvious that the Tome of Prophecy is pretty much the basis of Xehanort's plan.

"On that land shall darkness and light expire". This line is spoken in 3D, KH III and written in the Tome of Prophecy.

There are likely more details that will come into play.

No, they haven't.

...and? Xemnas is pretty important to the plot of KH2, but you just said that was a minor detail in KH1FM

Plus we've already had the Tome of Prophecy introduced in Re:Coded

No, they haven't.

they made it clear in the new scene in Re:Coded.

But we didn't learn anything about him, he just appeared spoke cryptically and fought you. The details in chi are shaping up to be much more explicit.

 

Funny, I haven't even seen that scene yet, but was obvious to me by the line that keeps popping up.

[Hero of Winds 2,576]

did you just start playing KH? This has been par for the course since the first Final Mix and Ultimania were released

This is a full game. I'm not talking add-on bullshit. I'm talking about a full, entirely new experience. Just because I question it, doesn't give you the option to make a snarky remark such as that. And just for your information, I've been playing the series since 03.

Again, you're acting like these details can't be explained anywhere else

full game seems like a pretty big stretch

I'm not watching that. The reason haven't seen the yet is because I haven't gotten to Re: Coded yet and I''m avoiding spoilers. I'm just saying, unless this game is localized, they'll have to put the entire tome in KH III, and we don't know how much of it there is yet to be revealed. We have at least 1 more year before KH II comes out, possibly 2, that's two more chapters at least that they could put out before IKH II is released.

Just a question/thought concerning Ephemera...

While it is true that he resides in another faction (depending on what union you chose at the beginning), does it not also stand that Ephemera resides within your union? And following with that, does that also mean that the Black Chirithy is also a part of your union?

Or maybe the better question that is to be asked is how can Ephemera wield the power of the Tome of Prophecy, just like you? None of the other prior Keyblade wielders residing in Daybreak Town could... Or is Ephemera just another illusion created by the Tome, and if this is the case, for what end did the Tome create him (other than his cuteability factor, of course)? Will he be like Chirithy and be slowly corrupted?

 

Also, a slight detour from the whole Ephemera talk: why is there a typewriter in the Moogle Shop? This alone is making me question how "ancient" the keyblade war actually is...

[Robbie the Wise 5,050]

the same way everyone else ended up being connected to Xehanort

plot contrivance

or maybe this person has connections to Xehanort's keyblade? Since it's the most ancient keyblade

Xehanort's Keyblade most likely belongs to the sixth apprentice remember the keyblades were created by the original Seekers of Darkness. It only makes sense that the first Keyblade belongs to the sixth apprentice seeing as he looks to be the leader of the darknesses.

[PrinceNoctis 1,011]

KH3 is going to be so epic...all these little things are building up (Book of prophecies, lost masters, Ancient keyblades and everything) and it's all gonna blow up in our faces in KH3 Can't wait!

[Everglow 184]

I'd also like to draw your attention to Ephemera's name itself. 

 

Ephemera = 'ephemeral' = 'Lasting for a markedly brief time'.

 

It's a word used in both Greek and Latin, which still means something lasting a short period of time. And we all know about Nomura's love for Latin.

We sure do! It's quite interesting.

Hm... but what is that brief thing referring to? The person himself? The story of Chi? Ephemera's Chirithy? The actual player?

Hopefully questions like those will be answered in KH3.

[Hazimie 1,595]

Somehow, I've got a feeling that the Book of Prophecies are one of the methods that Master Xehanort will be used as a Time Travel from a faraway past like the Era of the Keyblade War since the book holds the power of transcending time. Also, that book can also be the source of how Xehanort get his Keyblade since it's the most ancient. But yeah, I could be wrong from this assumptions...

[Sorarocks93 678]

I have a feeling KH3 will widen then universe even more. Just like how KH2 did and BBS did. Now that I think of it. We knew basically next to nothing in the first KH.

Ephemerist = One who studies the daily motions and positions of the planets

 

or it could also mean

 

Ephemerist = A person who collects ephemera, things that exist or are used or enjoyed for only a short time

 

Planets = Worlds?

Thing that exist or are used for only a short time = The book of prophecies?

Everyone's able to play it.

But not everyone can read Japanese...This is why we want the game localized so that OTHERS can play it and understand the story seeing as it's CRITICALLY important to the lore of Kingdom Hearts 3 and the series in general and haivng it remain Japan-Exclusive in it's lanuage barrier is just creating another Chain Of Memories situation where people ether can't play it or skip it thus leaidng us to be confused when KH3 actually does come out.

And that's why we're here translating the stuff from the game and providing you the tools to be able to play the game and understand its story.

[DemyxIsBest 367]

Would anyone else take a Chi localization over a new sidestory game in a heartbeat before KH3?

[KingdomHearts3 2,591]

I had a feeling now the ties are coming together between KH3 and KHX.

[VexenReplica 154]

Another kind of random question for you guys:

 

For Card Draw, the Moogle is standing next to (what is presumed to be) the Tome of Prophecy in the little advert before you click the "draw cards" button. The Moogle also gets the cards that you draw from the book. 

So how is it that the Moogle, of all people/things, gets the Tome of Prophecy?

 

Also, is this Moogle (in Card Draw) the same Moogle in-game, and, if so, the same one who was present during the Crystals of Life event? If so, they do know that something is up.

(I'm reading the translation here and in it, someone (denoted "???") is talking with the Moogle. Was it ever figured out, for those of you veteran players, who this person was?)

I love how people are freaking out about this. I played Chi, then i quit cause it was ruining my life. If the story is important to KHIII it'll be told in KHIII. At least you'll get a synopsis like you got in 3D for every OTHER game.
