Ok this all my personal opinion so feel free to agree disagree its ok that's what this forum is here for lmao. On the box art of kh3d you see sora inverted to the left or as I see it in a "falling state" riku to the right, right side up or as I like to see it "ascending". And Mickey seems to me at least to be "diving" for sora trying to save him (open for debate). Now in the 8min jump festa trailer you see sora and riku speaking with yen sid (what there talking about we all know by now I hope)but notice sora's arrogant and absolute demeanor. He says "no one can beat me" cocky is not really soras forte if you ask ME but on the other hand riku's reponse is a far cry from the boy we first met on destiny islands (gasping for air lol) now in the same trailer the opening captions read "darkness will become light" "light will fall into darkness" I believe that's what is being depicted on the box cover and I believe axel and mickey will have too save Sora while riku takes the mastery exam. This is just my theory I'd love some feed back on this positive or not lol wat do you guys think???

To me its definetly a subliminal message since we saw Sora being cocky (really not like him to be cocky) and (GO WATCH THE TRAILER IF YOU HAVENT) Sora being captured i guess by the Xehanort's and the hooded members. While Riku was kinda doubting if he could pass the exam and being humble basically http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/happy.png

After the latest trailer, I've kind of been thinking of "light falls into darkness" = Sora going into that comatose state, and "darkness becomes light" = Riku overcoming whatever may have been trying to pull him back down to the darkness and going to save Sora. Idk, nothing should be taken literealy when we don't have the whole picture just yet. But that's just kinda what came to mind.

Yes exactly PHANTOMHIVE this would explain in the trailer when you see sora in the org chair and when you see one of the norts pummeling riku in the same room cause he's trying to save sora

Well Sora has been a keyblader for what 2/12 years and no one seemed to be able to beat him so yeah he became cocky and arrogant. Now about the other thing idk it seems kinda strange

And KISHIRA I think your right as well riku is fighting the darkness inside him in the special trailer one of the norts is seen talkin riku and says "you have learned to control the darkness inside you, somehow" or something just like that which is what I believe your hinting at

Yea but ECLIPSE sora always got his strength from the faith in his friends which is why I believe yen sid separated riku and sora for this exam

Sora says he gets his strength from many places, if I remember the Master Exam is supposed to test how well you skiils as a keyblader are and you have the will and strength to become a master. Im sure Riku's test is to see if he's overcome the darkness yet, while sora might be about his bond with Riku

You said it yourself "to see if you have the will and strength" and I think yen wants to test sora's strength and will without his friends there with him furthermore hinting nomuras "unique ending" I think sora could possibly fail this one

Maybe in the trailer it looks like the test is putting more pressure on Sora then Riku

I believe they get tested in there own way equally

Yeah with iku dealing with the dark, but with Sora there are sooo many secrets within him that I think the test is gonna be tougher for him because of that

Yea makes sense. that's why I think he just might not get through this one

This is very possible. But I just can't wait to find out!

In my personal opinion I think sora will fail the mark of mastery test and become over xehanorts control and also take into consideration that in the valentines day trailer Mickey said "someday I hope to lend my strength to you" so that can foreshadow the fact that riku needs mickeys help to save sora.

Thanks XNAME and me either and ROXAS123 I stated something similar to that earlier in the thread read back

Speculation is killing me lol
