"Believing light and darkness must remain in balance, Master Xehanort seeks to spark war against the ‘tyranny of light’ to restore equilibrium.

In an effort to undermine Xehanort’s plot, Sora, Donald and Goofy search for seven guardians of light and the “Key to Return Hearts,” while King Mickey and Riku search for previous Keyblade wielders."

—Kingdom Hearts III press release

This is the oldest description of KH3

so what you're saying is

Xehnort's goal never changed

:thonk:

though that second bit...

His goal didn't change...

yeah, that seems to have been a change

I wasn't bringing it up for that anyway

oh no, i'm just referring to the fact that so many thought his goal just suddenly changed

The confusing thing is how SDG are looking for seven guardians, and Riku Mickey looking for previous wielders, like are they different things...

I mean, it didn't come to pass anyway but it's just interesting

Welll, iirc, back during DDD, Nmura said that the opening wasn't an exact lineup of the guardians

however, this did end up being the case

well.. mostly

hhhh

His goal did change

Who would the "previous weilders" be tho?

Or rather, his motivations

Dunno who

Whatever happened to "the tyranny of light"

Aqua, Ventus and Terra

But they could be counted as the seven guardians

You see the issue

?

I think it's both

His motivations didn't change, his reasoning for doing it did tho

Riku looks for TAV while sora looks for roxas

....is Discord lagging for anyone else

I'd say that's what motivations are tho?

A reason

shrug

At first he was motivated because too much light
