well i was thinking that Roxas & Sora wouldn't have Ven's memories because Ven's heart was only there for the ride, but Ven's heart was still there seeing everything that was going on, so Ven could potentially know everything when he is potentially re-awakened.

So do you think Ven will have Roxas's memories, because Roxas had Ven's heart.

All the games acknwledged plot points, settled them, and created new 1nes.... which is why the series is so good. prime example would be the situation with Sora, Ven, Vanitas, & roxas, bbs explained all of those plot points, just like 358/2 explained the connection between Roxas & Axel. If they are to release KH3 next, and make it the 7 Keyblade Weilders vs. Org 13 & Xehanort, then I bet afterwards they will release spinoffs in psp and NDS to explain how Aqua & Ven come back. Tho I'd much prefer those games to come out first, because just like you said they can use those games to introduce new plot points, new villians (possible new 13 members) and increase the anticipation to KH3. Edit: They could also include that in the main story of KH3, tho imo it'd be rather disappointing, because we'd have less KH games to play. Not to mention the Kingdom Hearts Team is still working on Versus 13, that still doesn't even have a release date yet x_x, I doubt we will see KH3 for a LONG time.

that just confirms that there will be a KH3, not that its going to be the next game released in KH. The KH series is pulling in all sorts of cash for square, so I am sure they will milk it for everything its got, which is why I think they would make new games. Also that message, makes me think they will remaster the first 2, with the release of the 3rd. Also, we don't have a full Organization XIII, so I could see other games to introduce, or explain the new members of the 13. Edit: Also, Keyblade weilders who are not masters, are students, if im not mistaken. Those 2 games would be more to pull the plot along. Think about it, we jump right into KH3 now, the Great Keyblade war, how the fck did Aqua and Ven get back, if they didn't, who is going to replace them.

Well just a few theories to spit out. FAIR WARNING THIS WILL BE SPOILER HEAVY. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED Ok so I think we will see a few more games before Kingdom Hearts 3, OR Kingdom Hearts will continue on to 4 & 5. First off I think the 7 Keyblade guardians (the 7 princess are to be protected by the 7 keyblade weilders) are: 1. Sora - Not yet a keyblade master (Possible Game) 2. Riku - Keyblade master KH:DDD 3. Kairi - Not Yet a Keyblade master (Possible Game) 4. Mickey - Keyblade Master (Unknown story possible Prequel.) 5. Aqua - Keyblade master - KH BBS 6. Ventus - Not yet a keyblade master (Possible Game) 7. Lea - Not yet a keyblade master (Possible Game) Of these 7 we know that Riku, Mickey & Aqua are the only keyblade masters. I think we will see a game played thru Kairi and her journey to becoming a keyblade master, possibly ending in her rescueing Aqua from the realm of darkness. As well as another game of Sora, rescuing Ven & giving him back his heart making him a keyblade master. Possibly being the same game, while we switch back and fourth between chars. Then we could see a game where Lea & Ventus team up, and tackle the mark of mastery exam together, or separate exams same game like Sora/Kairi. I dont think that Terra will become himself again untill the very end of the story, as he is being controlled by the main antagonist, it'd be pretty anti-climatic imo. After we get those 2 games, I think that we will finally get KH 3 which would be the 7 Keyblade weilders protecting the 7 pure hearts vs. the 13 forms of darkness AKA the many forms of Xehanort and his apprentices. (how ever they number it with the release of the other 2 hypothetical games) Any thoughts or comments?
