nope my dude, just rewatched the cutscene, YEraqus places the 7 black pieces and just the Sora Piece

nope. ill point it out lemme find the link

we don't know if he placed more or not, the scene cuts there.

I think you got confused, the 7 lights spawn when Sora does the rewind time thingy

yes I agree, we are not 100% sure yet but thus far we can only confirm 7 black pieces and 1 white piece, for now

we can't confirm the one white piece is the only one
a little earlier, you can see other (white?) pieces next to Xehanort

yes cause this is immediately after they finish the previous game, so just like in a normal chess game, is normal to have the leftover pieces laying next to the boad

true

So if the role of the seven lights are now taken by presumably the foretellers...What’s the purpose for the 7 pure hearts?

after he mentions "this new game" there are no other pieces visible other than 7B and 1W

?
why do you say that?

Are the princesses purely just plot points now?

Which piece is the player's?

good question, maybe they could be useful in how when Ven

called himself "pure light" he managed to drive back darkness

 

they could do something similar

Why do I say what? I’m asking about the significance of the princesses of heart. A lot of people seem convinced that the 7 lights represent the foretellers and other guardians of light.
Or are y’all referring solely to the chess pieces?

dont know if they will be involved, but maybe this

why do you say that the Foretellers will be the seven lights? wait, was that said somewhere in the finale i can't recall

that's supposed to be the MoM i think

yea first time I hear that

could be!

makes sense

Is the player responsible for xehanort's actions?

nah I think they are completely different entities

on the chalkboard in Yen Sid's room is that symbol and symbols of the Foretellers, so I'm assuming it's the MoM

NO
THEY ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT

7 pure darkness not 7 lights. MoM+ foretellers are set up as the big bad

lol, agree

I'm not about to blame our sweet Player for Xehanort

in order to defeat Darkness

Gosh its all pretty confusing to me tbh lol. But MoM mentioned raising the foretellers to be strong enough so that their hearts wouldn’t be tainted by darkness. What’s the point of that if the princesses of heart exist?
