Donald and Goofy be like 'Has anyone seen our son!!!' handing out photos of him to everyone, everywhere. I should be probably be more psyched for Sora's reunion for Riku and Kairi. But I totally need Donald and Goofy to find their way to Sora as fast as possible. Those 3 are the heart of the series. DX

Sora Tetsuya cause that's Nomura's son.

Yeah they have been wearing the same clothes for over a decade now (literally). Sora, Kairi and Riku change clothes at least every several months in game. Roxas too could use an outfit change. Oh wait, I thinnk Ven has been wearing the same clothes for over a century. Aqua and Terra were wearing the same clothes when they met him too. I don't know if Eraqus ever taught them how to shop considering he also wore the same clothes since his teen years,

Look is it too much to ask if they do put in SW that I can get a lightsaber Keyblade and fight Palpatine and/or Darth Vader? I mean I don't want Marvel in KH. But if Nomura is going to do SW, I want original trilogy at least. Make it a purple lightsaber

I totally wanted her and Riku to go together. Why??? They're the Destiny trio! Let them be a trio. DX Oh well. If she doesn't show up soon in Quadratum, I'd take sections of her in KH4 early on playing as her going on missions for Aqua and encountering the Foretellers. I just hope the main characters they're focusing on in KH4 all get decent focus. Like I know Sora is good and Riku most likely since he's going to Quadratum. I'm assuming Ven will probably get spotlight considering things. I'm going to assume Kairi will do something (more) too (hopefully, I've heard nothing but praise for Kairi's fun gameplay in Remind so I imagine Nomura could take that as putting something fun with her in KH4 like we did with brief sections as Aqua and Riku and later Roxas and Mickey).

Lol, it probably doesn't hurt Nomura is a fan of star wars so he got some of his inspiration from that. I'm hoping if SW is in KH it's Return of the Jedi. That would totally fit in Kh and destiny the most.

Speaking of Kairi, I have to say no matter what the opinion is on how her role in the story is handled compared to others, she was really fun to play as in Remind. She shot up in one of my most favorite gamestyles of kh characters. Keep that up and I would have a lot of fun playing more of her which is another reason why I'd like for her to get more spotlight.

That's true. Sora's story is his hero journey. I think Sora being the 'chosen one' works so well for me because it reminds me of Luke Skywalker's journey when he chose to become a Jedi. It was technically a destiny picked for him by Obi Wan and Yoda. But Luke made the choice himself and every choice he made to continue the journey of bearing that weight got harder and harder for him. Luke had to earn his status and even than it nearly turned him to the dark side and/or killed him. But did what no one else was willing to do, do what he knew was right over what he wanted and believe in the good that was still in his Father. Sora reminds me of Luke's hero journey in that he wasn't the Chosen one everyone thought. But that didn't matter because Sora fought tooth and nail and suffered a lot, but he always stuck to his guns and proved to everyone why he was the one standing there at the end to make things right. Sora was unqualified in every way possible for the role of the Keyblade hero. But darn it he earned his place as being THE example of what a keblade hero should be. It really strikes me how at the end of KH2 before Kairi's letter rescued them, Sora kind of alluded to everything he had been through when commenting on the darkness getting to him. It's like the rare times Sora will allow himself to admit how he's not as innocent or carefree as he used to be, and everything has worn him down a little on the inside. But the guy still pushes on and can find joy in good things and accept his trials as being a part of who he is. Dang it, if I wasn't so focused on Zelda right now I'd replay KH3. When are we going to get more Kh news? DX

I guess it's all something that can work either way since the philosophy is anyone can be special which means in any previous life Sora could have just been seen as a normal unremarkable person by all the masterminds and 'important' people, but he still manages to make an impact on the future by being the right person at the wrong time. Like say if the red head becomes a friend to the Player character and manages to help him in a simple way that ends up being important down the line. Player character is basically the Sora before Sora in some aspects. Sora just ends up being seen as the most 'Hero' character by the end his story. Like you said, hard to say. I'm fine either way because the way KH does things is everyone is special it's just some choose not to live up to their potential while others can squander it. Characters like Sora are the ones who make the hard choices to push on and are made worthy by it rather than just being born with it all from the get-go or being treated as special.

Seems like we have a lot of Chosen ones but it's entirely up to the person in question if they are capable of bearing the weight of it. Xehanort, Baldr, Sora, Riku, Kairi, Ven ect. Each one was 'Chosen' by different sources too. People like MoM and Player saw/picked Xehanort. Terra picked Riku. The Darkness picked Ven, The Light picked Kairi. Sora was picked by the Keyblade itself. KH has an interesting dynamic on Destiny and autonomy.

Like he might be Sora's previous life? I have wondered if we'll get any hints to any of the main characters having a previous life that was tied to this whole plot? Would be interesting if knew Sora's previous life. Though I guess that goes into the convo on whether or not Sora should have one or who it should be.

Don't add more speculation about time travel plots now (I do like his design though, does look like a Kairi/Sora kid). DX Either way he's a red head, he must be important.

I've noticed a trend with Roxas. Days: Xion vanishes before his eyes near the end of the game. KH2: Axel vanishes before him near the end of the game. KH3: Happy ending right? Sora then vanishes right before his eyes. Roxas has some bad luck watching people vanish right before his eyes in traumatic ways. Lets hope it's 3 out of 3 that the same person comes back. X P Well Nomura does say you can decorate Sora's apartment. I imagine Quadratum will become a place Sora does end up seeing as another home to an extent at least even if he misses and wants to return to Destiny Islands. He's also not alone from the get go with Strelitzia being there too. I'm going to assume Sora doesn't have memory problems but I also wouldn't be surprised considering how Quadratum might affect Sora in different ways. Like the longer he's away the more unreality impacts him. It doesn't help the Secret Episode ending makes it clear Sora (and Yozora) is very confused about what's even real and nothing making sense.

The reactions to that KH3 announcement are still gold to this day. I like how pretty much every one I remember has the slow realization and confusion to complete awed excitement that KH3 is actually going to be a thing you can play someday. X D

I'm going to assume whatever the Crown thing is: Sora, Yozora and Kairi are the most likely candidates. Characters like Mickey and Xehanort (if he does pop up) are also pretty likely thanks to having royal vibes. Ven's been a pretty central character and he's been kind of connected to royalty if you take him sleeping on a throne in a castle as a good enough symbol. I've looked up Strelitzia's name and the flower is named after a queen. Considering she's the true Dandelion that's important to MoM's plans, I wouldn't be surprised if MoM saw her as a Crown too. Of course there's MoM. What if he's a crown. >> << or maybe he was a Crown and he and the last generation of Crowns failed in the past?

Interesting. I also hadn't thought of Ven having a Throne vibe to him but he has set in that chair like a sleeping king for a long time.

Doesn't it also say the Crowns can be with aligned with Light or Darkness? We really don't know too much about their role.

No. I think it was a HMK video on youtube that popped up. But this seems to be in line with that theory. Though I don't know how Riku fits being a Crown if we follow that logic of a character having a Royal symbol to them? To tell you the truth I'm hoping Riku isn't a Crown. I kind of dig him being set up being the standard Leader of the other characters like how he was set up in Limitcut/Remind. Riku has never come off as a king character to me. He's like a knight. I like the idea of him having a different role anyway, like the knightly one who protects the royals and leads the armies when the kings are doing something else? If that makes any sense.

"Have I ever told you about Nightmare Chirithy or all the kids who murdered each other?" "Bad times" You know I did watch someone's videos theory about Xehanort being around in future titles and they were talking about the whole Crowns thing and who could be counted as one - Even though we have no clear idea what a Crown is yet.But it got me thinking about how Crowns maybe will be a character connected to royalty motifs already. What characters count as that? The (battle active) characters in the series I can think of being shown in royal way are: Sora* (crown necklace, various Crown and Throne symbolism).** Xehanort** (Throne and kingly symbolism like Sora). **Kairi** (also the only other character that had the Throne symbolism). **Yozora** (I think he's a King?). *Mickey Mouse (Literal King). I don't know if this will end up meaning anything as to where the Crowns things go. But I am curious now how many other characters have been given the Kingly symbolism in the series?

"You were a vessel of one of the Darkness's Ven!" Terra: "You were used to murder an fellow Keyblade wielder to further the agenda of evil Ven?! Hey me too..." You know I sadly feel like we could make a very long list of "you were a __ Ven?!" The kid has a lot on his plate. X0

Chirithy: So over a hundred years ago there was that time you wanted friends so badly Darkness entered you and killed the sister of one of you future friend's.... uhm oh you wanted happy stories. Too bad. =/

So far he doesn't seem eager to though. If it wasn't for Sora, Chirithy wasn't even going to see Ven despite being able to and seems content to let Ven never remember the past. But yeah you're right. Chirithy is also the other option that could explain everything. I'm curious if's already opened up to Ven any yet offscreen in the year he's been reunited with him? A part of me hopes Sora and Strelitzia have jobs they need to pay for their very expensive apartments. X D

I don't think anyone does. We got a lot of new mysteries to ponder and we don't want the characters to ponder about questions we already know the answers to for several more games. Vamos Vamos guys. We already got Yozora, The Star, Quadratum, What Luxu and the other Tellers are doing now, That Box, Maleficent's antics, MOM's backstory, the true Darkness, Sora finally opening up KH, the Crowns, The true Dandelion, Kairi becoming a major keyblade wielder player and what/how are we going to decorate Sora's apartment! We got new stuff to cover bring the characters up to date Laurium!

Marluxia definitely has a lot of potential considering he started regaining his memories as Laurium thanks to Sora. Laurium could honestly explain a big portion of the plot points for the main characters. Just waltz up to Ven and be like 'hey I think you forgot but you me and Larxene are from the ancient past there's more to darkness theres the MoM theres... ect' He's got so much info in him he'd probably break Ven's brain again. I wonder if the plot will somehow keep Marluxia and Larxene away from the main characters so they can flunder in confusion longer?

Quadratum being a kind of Valhala wasn't something I thought about before but I can see it now. I'm wondering though, I know what Sora did was called a taboo and treated like a punishment and we do know the punishment being separated from all he knows and loves. Quadratum itself so far doesn't seem to be a bad place. As Strelitiza says herself, it's a world of life for the people that live there and she doesn't refer to it as a straight up dead world. It's almost got this ethereal atmosphere to it from how characters talk about it and it being Yozora's home. Who himself has a divinely king aura to him. Is Quadratum a place for someone who committed a taboo but worthy of ascending to it like in mythology? As for Riku I'm curious if his loophole will have limits/repercussions for him? I would honestly be very surprised if we didn't get a cut scene of them in Kh4 considering Strelitzia looks like she's going to be a big player in the next story.
