In the Frozen trailer, we see Aqua pick up a new Kingdom Key looking Keyblade that has a Star Seeker design to it. Could this be the "Key to Return Hearts"? Aqua certainly seems interested in it.
In an interview with GNN, Nomura said in response to a question about the Aqua reveal, "As of now we cannot reveal the reason why Aqua is now in that state. However, that does not mean there are no chances of rescuing her, for that part it depends on the hard work of the players."
I'm sure that this just means that we will indeed get to save her by the end of the game, but part of me is wondering if this means that we can affect the end of the game. Maybe we can choose which seekers of darkness to confront at the end, and who we confront will affect the ending of the game. After all, Nomura did say that the final stage is “something I have always wanted to do, ever since making Final Fantasy”, so maybe this is it.
In an interview with IGN, Nomura said, "Kingdom Hearts is not too realistic, but I do want my players to grasp a sense of reality from it as well. For example, I'm sure you had friends when you were young, a good group of friends, but as you grow older things change and it doesn't always stay the same. I think all I can say is please play to the very end and see what happens. But I think Kingdom Hearts 3 does depict how each character feels about each other in this new story line."
I'm going to lose sleep over this one. I'm sure that I will love the game regardless of what happens, but if Sora and Kairi don't end up together by the end of the game, I'm going to be extremely upset! I don't care if everyone else dies as long as Sora and Kairi end up together! This is where I'm going to go into a little rant of sorts. We have been teased over and over again that Sora and Kairi like each other. Even in the credits to 2.8, which is meant to be the prologue to Kingdom Hearts III, we see all of the scenes of Sora and Kairi right at the end of the montage of all of the couples from the games. It hasn't been officially confirmed that they love each other, nor has it been officially confirmed that they are a couple, but if even 2.8 teases it and then Kingdom Hearts III shoots all of that down, why? Just, why? You can't just build something up for all these years and have it go nowhere! I suppose if Nomura did it in the right way, I would be alright with it, but he would have to do it in exactly the right way in order for that to happen. I suppose I can try to look at it this way: Nomura said, "But I think Kingdom Hearts 3 does depict how each character feels about each other in this new story line." So, maybe one of the changes that he's talking about is how two people, who were just good friends for the longest time, can fall in love with each other. After all, not all change is bad. Sorry about that mini rant there. I just had to get that off my chest.
