1. You are definitely being judged, just as you will make judgments on me and those around you. Multiple things affect this, as you surely know. Spelling, the content of the threads, the nature of the response. How you act, dress, talk. The sincerity of your conversation, the honesty of your laugh. This is not a bad thing, it is how people get to know each other. We constantly judge others and form opinions based on the most incomplete of data. The trick is to make others want to gather more of that data. 2. Yes, you are right, the possibility does exist. So too does the possibility that they will fall head over heels in lust just from the look in your eyes and the sound of your voice. One is about is likely to happen as the other. That said, if a first encounter is enough to make someone spit on your face, at least you made a strong first impression, and that's better than being forgettable. 3. I don't know you or your friends, and this one is too specific to your individual circumstances for anyone to offer any opinion. Maybe they would, maybe they wouldn't. Only you really know. You already call them your friends, that should be all the answer you need. You make a lot of these threads and the common trend seems to be a lack of trust. You desire support and positivity from your circle of friends (online and offline) but do not seem to believe any positive reinforcement you are given. I went down that route, you really do end up alone. Literally alone.

They all have their memories of events they partook in not relevant to time travel. As Young Xehanort says, he will remember being on Destiny Islands but not meeting Robe Guy or the events of DDD, but he'll subconsciously have a desire to achieve all the events he's set in motion. Similarly Ansem and Xemnas won't remember attending the meeting back when they were Young Xehanort and their memories of attending the meeting a second time will also be wiped when they return to their own time. The same applies to Master Xehanort too. If he is from the future he'll remember everything not connected to Young Xehanort / time travel, so while he'll remember everything from his time as Young Xehanort (not time travel related), Terra-Xehanort, Ansem, Xemnas, and Terra-Xehanort (post-revival), he won't remember attending the meeting or anything else he did while time travelling. Does that make sense? Alternatively, if Master Xehanort is not from the future that would mean Terra-Xehanort recompletion has been skipped entirely, and I find that harder to believe. Terra has to be saved and have his redemption story, and that's not possible if Terra-Xehanort if not brought back before Master Xehanort returns.

"The future is beyond my sight" line does not make me think Master Xehanort is speaking literally in terms of seeing future events before they happen. He has shown no knowledge of future events prior to this sentence. Rather, I take it to mean that he had many plans and back up plans, and by looking at the members in the meeting he knows what ones have worked / failed. And he wouldn't have foreknowledge of Lea's attack, since all his past selves who attended the meeting lost their memories of time travel. But I see this is an unpopular idea, so I'll stop here.

... Why not? I'm not trying to be pedantic but if Young Xehanort is recruiting members from across time why can he not recruit Master Xehanort from a future day when his heart is expelled from Terra-Xehanort and bring him back to the meeting? I'm not understanding what would prevent this from happening; it doesn't contradict anything that has already occurred, and explains the absence of a recompleted Terra-Xehanort.

Yes, it says "My most future self will return soon". I don't see how that discounts the possibility that he is from further in the future than the meeting itself.

When? They said his twelve selves would welcome him on the day he returned a complete person, but where did they say it was that specific day? If he was revived at the same time as Lea and the rest it would have been a little while back, and since Young Xehanort is a time traveller, why could he not have been bought back from the future?

Why does everybody seem to think the Master Xehanort seen in DDD was created at the time the game took place? With time travel playing a major role now, is it unrealistic to presume that Master Xehanort does not even exist at the time of DDD and even KH3? I believe that the defeat of Ansem and Xemnas did indeed recomplete Terra-Xehanort, not Master Xehanort. I also expect Terra-Xehanort to be a member of the new Organization. My expectation is that Young Xehanort (as a member of the Organization) will continue to appear in KH3, and that at some point Terra-Xehanort will be fought, Master Xehanort will be expelled from Terra's body, and at that point Young Xehanort will appear to spirit him away to conduct his meeting in DDD. Only after Terra is rescued will Master Xehanort become the major antagonist of KH3, with Terra-Xehanort or somebody else taking that role in the beginning. Edit: Since the "Quote" function doesn't seem to work, @Keyblader_95 I also find it interesting that Xemnas and Ansem are from their time in KH2. Xemnas already seems to know Sora so Young Xehanort could have found him at any point between the battle in KHI and the end of KHII, but Ansem only has that form very briefly between Hollow Bastion and End of the World, so technically Riku is fighting his own possessed body during the meeting at the end of DDD.

I see. I was looking for anything I could find from Square Enix about their Final Mix and DLC stance, where have you sourced that from?

I just want Dream Drop Distance and Kingdom Hearts III in a neat little package that will go alongside the others, if not as a Final Mix then as an upscaled 3D bundled with vanilla KHIII. After KHII Final Mix remained exclusive to Japan, and Re:Chain of Memories was never released in Europe, I sold all the Kingdom Hearts games I could get in my country (regular KH, CoM for the GBA, regular KHII, regular BbS and Days) since I could never play the "real" version of the games. Seeing the KHI Xemnas fight in the flashbacks at the beginning of KHII compounded the frustration since it was regarded as part of the story. I.5 and II.5 have reignited my interest in the franchise, but only if I can play the complete story. I haven't bought I.5 yet because I'm waiting to see if I can own the complete "Seeker of Darkness Saga" on a single console (or two, I know). I don't want to have to by a 3DS just for one game, I've done the "buying a console for one game that is totally worth it" schtick before (more than once) and I always regret it a few months later. Similarly I don't want to buy a PS4 just for KHIII, but a 3D/KHIII bundle for the PS4 would definitely justify the cost a little bit more. I also call such a collection Final Mix+ since III.5 Remix give the impression it contains something that takes place after III as opposed to before.

Popular opinion here seems to be that Square Enix will release DLC with Kingdom Hearts III. While that could potentially make any Final Mix function as a sort of Game of the Year Edition containing all the DLC, it would scupper my idea that they will continue the compilation trend they've started by bundling 3D and KHIII together. I do anticipate that there will be a "Seeker of Darkness Saga" pack at the end of all this - I.5 Remix, II.5 Remix, and some variation of III Final Mix+. Tomb Raider and Sleeping Dogs are getting HD re-releases containing their respective DLCs, I hold this as potential that a KHIII Final Mix is not entirely out of the question.

Early days, I know. However this seems, to me, to be the most plausible route the series may take considering a few different factors; 1 - Each main Kingdom Hearts title has had a Final Mix within a year of the original release. 2 - A HD release of Dream Drop Distance was decided against at this time because it is both a recent game (2012) and development would draw resources away from Kingdom Hearts III. 3 - Dream Drop Distance is on the table as a downloadable release or "something like that" in the future. 4 - Re:Chain of Memories was bundled with Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix in Japan, so this is something they've done before. 5 - Nomura intends to release a Kingdom Hearts game yearly if possible (at least until the "Seeker of Darkness Saga" ends). So a Final Mix+ for Kingdom Hearts III incorporating Re:Dream Drop Distance (or just a port, or a cutscene version at least) sounds like a realistic scenario to me. If Kingdom Hearts III is released in late 2015 or early 2016, then I would expect this to appear in late 2016. By that point 3D will be four years old and the development team can focus entirely on that without impacting Kingdom Hearts III's development. And I hope, if this is the route they do go down, that the Final Mix is released internationally without a ten year wait this time.
