So the goal of kingdom hearts 1 was stop xehanort (or ansem at that point) from exploiting the light in the seven princesses of heart so that he couldn't obtain the secrets/power of kingdom hearts.

 

And it sounds like the goal of Kingdom hearts 3 is going to be:

 

Stop xehanort (who is now being iterated in 13 forms!) from exploiting the light in the seven princesses of heart so that he can't obtain the secrets/power of kingdom hearts...

 

hmmm...that sounds familiar...

 

Maybe I'm just missing some very obvious facts...but how are xemnas and ansem sod still rearing their ugly faces. Haven't we beat them both multiple times by now? How do they keep just popping up like everything that happened in KH1 & KH2 didn't matter at all? Wasn't the whole concept of Xehanort being able to return based on the idea that they were both defeated?

 

A lot of people are also feeling upset that it was Kairi who showed up at the end. I like others did hope to see her more involved in the games...just not fighting on the front lines. She has a role to play, but can you seriously imagine the other princesses of heart wielding keyblades? The princesses of heart are described as having pure light etc... it just seems odd that something described in that way would be a hardcore heartless fighting machine. So I'm not upset that Kairi is involved...I just think it is awkward that they chose to involve her that way.

 

Okay and just one more thought! In the opening sequence (which was sweet!) we see the whole crew at the end ready to take on geezanort. Is there any indication that that actually happens in KH3D? It now seems much more likely that the depicted confrontation is going to be an ending sequence in KH3

What is there to be settled? We know nothing about KH3 (neither does Nomura) and if your question hasn't been solved by DDD, we can't solve it for you. KH3 shall be KH3. Nothing else.

Ansem: Seeker of Darkness and Xemnas are two of the 13 Xehanorts. They have distinct facial features so we dont see 13 dumb ass 60 year old men as the bosses of KH3.

I hear ya, they do look a lot cooler than geezanort, but I thought xehanort couldn't return unless his heartless and nobody were destroyed. Yet there he is walking around with ansem sod and xemnas right next to him

 

And uncle my point isn't that I'm upset because they haven't settled everything at this point, just that there is still a lot to be settled, but I'll remove that part because it really was just an aside rather than a point I was trying to make. (I thought forums were a place to theorize and ask questions about current and upcoming installments...but if the answer is KH3 is going to be KH3, so don't ask, point taken)

It isn't explained, but I think it's because they already had bodies and he gave them a heart that was created. Because he needed 13 bodies that were sufficient enough to hold hearts created solely from/for him.

 

....We know nothing [...] Nothing else....

 

Now I get you. Makes a lot of sense to me now.

(neither does Nomura)

 

Eh, not really. A few years ago Nomura said he was making some early plans for KH3, to be ready when Versus comes out. So he probably has a pretty good idea now...

The revived Apprentice Xehanort is the one using Terra's body assuming that Heartless+Nobody=Somebody . .. . Master Xehanort could have possibly gone back into his own body (Young Master Xehanort may have retrieved in BBS; that may have been why he was there to start with). Ansem SoD doesn't require a body; he is like Vanitas; darkness melded into the form of Riku/AX. "Xemnas" is Xemnas' Nobody . . . . kinda like how Sora and Roxas existed with different bodies even though there should only be one body.
