LIke have you seen how many friends Sora has??? I just honestly see no reason why all OC's can't participate. Why keep it so exclusive?? Sure, you could find the necessary seven for the sake of finally seeing kingdom hearts, but why not just have all of them participate in the final xehanort battle?
The only headcanon I could think of is Sora being all "Xehanort said their would only be seven guardians of light, we can't take more thats cheating!!" And that's still unlikely since all he talks about is his friends and how their his power.
MUH THEORY:
OKAY SO LIKE MY THEORY CONTAINS REFERENCES TO ALLLL OF THE GAME EVEN RE:CODED. I actually have a reason for that as well, the opening of DDD, shows a reference to all of the previous games, leading up to the final showdown. Re:coded being the hardest to realize, was referenced when Mickey took all the different Journals and used them to help summon some of the lost characters.
Assuming its ventus, terra, and aqua that Riku is looking for, I wanna say that Sora is looking for a way to bring back Xion, Roxas, and Namine.
Before you start flaming I just want to point at the endings to BBS, Re:Coded, and Dream Drop Distance. Xion, Roxas, and Namine were all included in those hurting that has still yet to be mended. So does anyone wanna tell me they were just included for no reason??
Do you guys really think Sora's just gonna be like oh well 3/6 is enough sorry ansem the wise im not gonna be able to undo all the sh** that you did and just forget about all the people who are gone because of me now.
Namine and Xion are special cases of Nobodies. Namine was thought more of Kairi's shadow than a nobody. Kairi didn't need her before in KH2 in order to function correctly. It is possible for them to coexist. (Also possible for her to get a keyblade and join in the fight which honestly I would love because shes the only one thats left out of everything and doesnt even have a trio or even memories of just hanging out with friends,,, but whatever)
I feel like if they were to get Namine back, they'd be able to get Xion and Roxas back too, since she has the power to control the memories of Sora and those connected to them. She wouldn't even have to actually take any of Sora's memories. Just the ones that belong to Xion, and Roxas. It'd be easy too since Roxas helped awaken those memories in DDD. If it makes you guys feel any better, they could use the data world too in order to help revive Xion. I feel like the data world has a lot of potential, it was brought back in DDD so I think theirs gonna be something going down with it in KH III. (OMG HOW CUTE WOULD IT BE IF YOU COULD TAKE ON MISSIONS IN IT or use it to time travel too or find more information they didnt know before idk who knows)
SO YEAH basically once they have everyone back, after some cute cut scenes of them all being together and being the biggest cuties they all are, (IMAGINE LEAS REACTION TO HIS TWO BESTIES COMING BACK OMG AND IMAGINE NAMINE LIKE SHE WOULDNT KNOW WHAT DO WITH HERSELF SHES LIKE A FANGIRL OF THE SERIES SHES BEEN WATCHING EVERYONE BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME SHE'S EVER BEEN INCLUDED AND GETS TO BE WITH PEOPLE WITHOUT DISCUSSING DARK MATTERS) they all go to the final showdown, including donald goofy n mickey. (maybe ansem teh wise and eraqus and yen sid too (DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON YEN SId NEVER DOING ANYTHING AT ALLLAZY PIECVE OF) but whatever i dont rlly care if they go). and while their all fighting the xii keepers of darkness (which leads to me to believe other playable characters???because their hasn't been a boss that has gone down without actually having to battle them) it shows alllll the final fantasy friends, the gang at twilight town, and twewy cast fighting off the excess amounts of heartless, nobodies, and unversed (assuming vanitas is back) in their respective worlds.(because i just really want another scene like the 1,000 heartless battle in kh2)
YEAH UM SO I JUST REALLY WANTED TO VENT IDEC IF ANYBODY READS IT OKAY YES I DO BUT WHATEVER YEAH THATS WHAT I THINK AND I FINALLY POSTED IT ON THE INTERNET yay
