Secret Message & Secret Movie discussion

Due to his stream, we also have some information about how to unlock the Secret Ending of the game-- it seems that during the ending credits, (if you have done all other requirements), then you still have to collect letters to spell out "SECRET MESSAGE UNLOCKED" in order to view the scene. Please note that no one has unlocked the secret movie yet, but with this extra information, it shouldn't be long before someone does.

3:40PM EST: Over the last day, we've received a lot of videos showing the ending of the game. Don't worry, we won't spoil you here-- however, if you want to be spoiled, then we've compiled some links for you.

I think he may have meant Isa? Some people seem to think this (though it seems unlikely...)

If he actually meant Lea, then he's on something...

 

It seems likely, given that Org. XIII were supposedly created to be vessels for MX . . . more likely than time travel bull. Maybe MX can do a Voldemort and split his heart multiple times? I trust DChurch's translation so YMX is likely MX possessing someone. Maybe the reason Lea can wield a keyblade is that he was possesed by a Keyblade wielder? But we still don't know who YMX is or have a full plot synapses.

I missed something, when was is stated that the Org was created to be vessels for MX, that changes EVERYTHING!!

Some translations of ending impressions imply that this may be the case, but I'm pretty sure they just meant that the "13 Darknesses" are linked to (i.e. Ansem SoD, Xemnas, Braig, Isa)/serving Xehanort.

I saw a pic were it was MX, Ansem SOD, Xemnas, Sora, Braig i believe and a couple more hooded figures sitting in Where Nothing Gathers. I wonder who those people are. Considering the fact that half of the Org has been brought back as humans.

The "Sora" could be Vanitas since they look incredibly similar

If you actually have seen this pic, then I'm sure you can post it here and show us.

There's been a fair bit of speculation about their identities on the KHI forums. Everyone from Vanitas to Terranort to the Riku Replica has been suggested...

It Sora, he had his clothes on.

 

The clip is in the "Special Trailer" towards the end, youd have to find it yourself sorry

 

And yeah maybe man, i remember in TWTNW there was that scene where Sora was surrounded by Braigs sniper bullets then they all turned into Hooded figures, then YMX stepped out. There were 13 in all surrounding him. I wonder who they are, i just ran across a pic and it showed all original members of the Org except for Isa, but theyre all revived. Dilan, Aeleus, Lea, Ienxo and Vexen. OH and Braig too but he wasnt in the clip with them.

That pic is likely of Sora after he's supposedly had his heart shattered by MX. And the hooded figures are unlikely to be the Organisation members who reappeared in Radiant Garden, as they all seem to be aligned with Lea. And Braig is seemingly in the dream World that Never Was as MX's flunky once more.

All pretty old information to be honest.

I don't know why people are still speculating on YMX identity. Going by the ending that's been posted, translated, and said to be legit once he's defeated in the end if 3D he returns to the original MX(the old man). I'm confused on how it could be him considering in a few scans and trailers YMX is in the throne room with the old MX as well.

I'm pretty sure that Mysterious Figure is Young Master Xehanort. Mysterious Figure has time management skills, being able to travel at will between times, that would show that Master Xehanort had planned for many years the change of young body. The fight with Mysterious Figure would be equivalent to Sora fight Xemnas in Kingdom Hearts 1 Final Mix, a simple test to get information on the players and can use it in the future. And the result was that Terra chose as sheath (Terranort).

 

The color of the lightsaber can be a comparison to the Star Wars saga, Young Master Xehanort of lightsabers would have blue because it has not fallen into darkness and is a human person, but once again becomes the nobodie Xemnas turn red for succumbing to the dark side.

Nomura stated that the MF fight in BBS is non-canon, though the character itself is canon.

Maybe. But i think they may have learned their lesson, i mean theyre already humans again, what else could they be in the Org for?

 

Wait, what? I'm saying they're not in the Organisation anymore aside from Braig and Isa. They are now seemingly, like Lea, good - or at least neutral - characters.

You said "unlikely" sorry i misread, wll i guess only time will tell.

 

AAAAGGGGHHHHHHH!!! I FORGOT!! There was this store chain in Japan that if you were the first to preorder you get a 100% save file alongside your game, that means they have access to cutscenes and everything!!

 

He is the only person to know what truly happens in KH3d.

It's just a simple explanation, but need not be exactly true.

 

Ah, another thing.

 

I think the filtered end is fake because it not resembles the opening of the game. The opening shows how the whole group is together and wage a battle against Master Xehanort in Keyblade Graveyard, however the leak indicates that the story ends badly and Sora goes alone (?). It makes no sense.

Something interesting discussed a little on KHI, there could have been a small translation error. This is quoted directly from VLR.XIII

one the KHI forums.

 

"Maybe the translation is off, and it's saying:

 

"When Lea helped Sora, Sora wasn't able to produce a Keyblade, but right at the end he pops one out and everyone is surprised. Sora leaves alone on a journey and that is the end."

 

?"

 

 

Doesn't that make a little more sense to everyone? Instead of the assumed Lea, it could be Sora they were speaking of, as only "he" was originally said.

See this sounds about right, if you dont have a heart, you cant produce a Keyblade right. Soras hear was shattered for a bit of course he could get a Keyblade but if he gets one in the end itll suprise folks. Maybe he finally got one and set off on a journey to train more, to make his heart stronger.

The only problem with this theory being that at least two different translated impressions have at least implied that Lea receives a Keyblade, making it less likely to be a translation error.

Idk, ive known KHI to have the best translator at these things. Theyre always translating Fatmitsu scans and interviews and stuff. This one seems more logical. Im tired of people getting Keyblades, it isnt even speial to be a Keyblade wielder anymore.

First of all, we're discussing on what may be the truth, so you shouldn't give an explanation unless it's true. Second of all, the end of the Opening is supposed to be KH3, not the ending of 3D.

Xemnas in KH1FM and Lingering Sentiment in KH2FM were not canonical, and in the end proved to be the most recurrent character, with this I am meaning, and so far in KH has always been so, the character hidden ends being the most predictable, and always just out in the trailer of the upcoming game.

 

Hooded in KH1FM is Xemnas in TV spots and trailers of KH2. Xemnas is most important final boss of KH2.

 

Lingerint Sentiment is Terra's armor. Terra appear in trailers and secret endings of KH2FM and KHBBS. Terranort and his nobodie Xemnas is most important final boss of KH2 (as I said above).

 

Mysterious Figure is possibly... ¿Young Xehanort? Young Xehanortn appears in trailers of Dream Drop Distance and he is possibly the most important final boss of KH3D:DDD.

 

It is true that only a theory, but so far the whole saga has worked in the same way: the end boss appears in the trailer of the upcoming game, and so on.

Actually, the fight with Xemnas in KH1 is canon, it was shown in KH2 during Roxas's memories of Sora during the 6 days, and it was how he got the data they used to create Xion.
