I know that they're not going to replace Hayley anytime soon, but if I had to pick someone I'd prefer to voice Sora, I'd pick Yuri. He can do a teen voice much better in my opinion, and can even get close to Sora's voice in some of his characters, so I really think he'd do a great job.

I have created two images so you can see what I see in the newly revealed artwork! I've even outlined the drawn lines to make things more clear for Kairi ^^ Kairi: Riku:

The theory: ''There are others who have been reborn. The Five Foretellers: Anguis, Leopardos, Unicornis, Ursus, Vulpeus. We know that these were pseudonyms that their master bestowed upon them so you know what? I’m going to call them by their current names—Aqua, Ventus, Riku, Terra and Kairi, respectively.'' Yeah that’s right! The biggest giveaway is, in typical Nomura fashion… their fashion. Color-coordination between clothes and hair: Blue, Yellow, Grey, Brown, Pink. Not to mention, the body types match perfectly. Even the palette of some of their keyblades bear a resemblance (Terra and Ursus having the most obvious similarity). But what does it all mean??? From here on, I’m going to make some inferences. Let’s start with the fate of the Foretellers. Well, they were probably lost to the Keyblade War. But what side did they join? Remember, Xehanort tells of the different factions: ''The Keyblade wielders' great war over Kingdom Hearts was fought by defenders of the light, servants of darkness, those who sought to reconcile the two, and those motivated by nothing more than lust for power.'' We have reason to believe that a rift grew between the Foretellers based on what Chirithy said. “Also, as you know, even though the five Foretellers share the same goal, they by no means share the same will. So, you mustn't lose sight of it yourself.” Odds are, I’d say, that each had their own approach to preventing a darkness-filled future, and it’s those irreconcilable differences that actually led to it. A self-fulfilling prophecy. So maybe, rather than them all joining a side… they WERE the sides. Their infighting snowballed into the full-blown Keyblade War. While it might not match up perfectly, we could definitely assign some of them to a group based on their known personality traits: 1. Aqua/Anguis: Defenders of Light. This is a pretty obvious one. Aqua, like Master Eraqus, believes in the absolute righteousness of the light. Open and shut case. 2. Ventus/Leopardos: Servants of Darkness. At first glance, this one appears to be contradictory, but when you stop to think about it, it does make sense. We’re used to meek ol’ Ven being such a light-hearted (literally) individual. But what about before the split from his dark side? We know so little about that Ven. With Xehanort having considered the possibility of using Ven as his vessel, I’m sure Ven had a great capacity for darkness (that he refused to use), hence why Vanitas was so strong. And remember, darkness does not necessarily equate to being evil… Perhaps Leopardos, tasked with upholding a light which created so much hatred between the other Foretellers, realized that maybe it was the darkness in need of saving—against the “Tyranny of Light,” which Xehanort as the 6th apprentice would convince him of. Hence why Ven continued to follow Xehanort even in his next life. 3. Riku/Unicornis: Reconcilers of Dawn (or whatever you want to call them). This is another obvious one. Riku, the road to dawn… yeah. 4. Terra/Ursus: Seekers of Power. Another one which might not be readily apparent. Your first instinct might be to brand Terra as a Servant of Darkness. While Terra was by no means selfish, I’d say above all he was about power. Seeking the strength to protect what matters is what led him down his path. Eraqus flat out calls him out on his “obsession with power.” 5. Kairi/Vulpeus: Conscientious Objectors. Notice how there is no fifth faction that Xehanort mentions. Consider this one more of a non-faction. She represented all of those who, regardless of ideology, thought that waging a Keyblade War was senseless. It fits Kairi pretty damn well too. This is her purity shining through, and perhaps maybe even how she came to be a Princess of Heart. So basically, that just leaves Sora. I’ll maintain that this is not a fated role for him. I’m sticking with the “normal boy” narrative. Sora came to be a Guardian of Light by accident and through his own power. There was no past Sora. But still, he does fit the bill quite nicely, acting basically as an anti-Xehanort. He’s all about that group cohesion, forgiving past sins, unity, love and all that jazz.'' I interrupt to bring you a fanart of Kairi in foreteller Vulpeus's clothing: Ok, my opinion. I honestly wouldn't put it past Nomura to do something like this. But at the same time, I'm not really sure whether something like this could be possible. I'm kinda on the fence However, it IS strange how all the fortellers have their faces hidden. Could that be to keep their appearance a secret? Because they look pretty much the same as Aqua, Ventus, Riku, Terra and Kairi, respectfully? Remember other characters that had their heads hidden for this reason? Like Xion, for example, before her appearance was revealed. And Vanitas. I think young xehanort was hidden for a while but I don't remember. Could they really have been reincarnated? Sounds cool to me but dude the clones

Considering the fact that Yen Sid de-agified Riku and Sora so they could ''Learn the proper way from scratch'' it makes me assume he will do the same thing for her. What do you think?

I make this topic to discuss it here, on a forum. I was inspired by heijikoudo, the same user who leaks KHII manga scans to the net. This was their post: ''I make this post in fear of hate, however the comments on the above graphics are inno way my opinions on these lovely characters. However being part of this fandom for a long time has made me notice some flaws and this is one of them. This fandom, and I don’t mean just on Tumblr, treats its lady characters badly sometimes and it’s so saddening. I only had to make few Google searches to find comments like the ones above and it makes me so sad. I felt that it was important to make a point to address this problem because I think it’s so desperately sad that the ladies of the fandom are treated so badly. It seems that the male characters of Kingdom Hearts receive a lot of love but when it comes to the ladies they are either attacked for being ‘weak’ or ‘too attractive.’ I mostly wanted to make this post to start a conversation about this. I won’t respond to any hateful messages but if anyone would like to talk to me about my thoughts on the representation of women in Kingdom Hearts I will talk to them with ease.'' It got me thinking. To say the least. I honestly believe....that people treat Namine, Aqua and Kairi...in the following way: Sexual objectification is the act of treating a person merely as an instrument of sexual pleasure, making them a "sex object." Objectification more broadly means treating a person as a commodity or an object, without regard to their personality or dignity. Why would I think this? Nobody seems to care about Aqua or Kairi's personality or goals in the series, especially Aqua, instead there is post upon post about Aqua's boobs. Now don't get me wrong, those kind of jokes can be funny, but it isn't always a joke. I've seem people talk only about Aqua's body on serious topics about her. Really? Now, I'm not saying every guy that like Kingdom Hearts does this.. Hell no. There are some awesomely nice dudes out there. But I'd be lying if I said that there were no guys in this fandom that treat the female characters and or female fans badly. I should probably find a cave to hide, but honestly this needs talking about or it will never get better

Miku is very, very popular in Japan. Hella popular. So it's no wonder Square Enix is making a play arts kai of her. After seeing Nomura's artwork, some fans want Miku in KH. What do you guys think of this idea? Personally, I'd prefer Miku and KH remain their own things.

I know it doesn't help, and this thread is kinda pointless, but I just realized the pin is official Disney merchandise. It has the Disney trading pins logo at the top of the picture - like the ones at Disneyland. So, maybe this means Disney is acknowledging KH a little more perhaps, since this is a part of the pin trading collection. So now this and orgXIII coat mickey
