It strikes me, KH3 is kinda leading into KH2 situation. In KH2, their stated goal was to get Sora to collect hearts, which requires no interaction on their part. Despite this, they kept sending people and monsters to try to kill Sora.
Now, t wasn't their true goal to gather hearts, so tretroatively it makes some sense
KH3 can't exactly pull that
despite this, we're probably going to have more than a few fights with the forces of Xehanort... but... why?
What's Xehanort's incentive to try to kill Sora, Riku, Mickey, or ANYBODY else? He NEEDS to have them all survive to the end of the game. You can't make the argument now that they made before, where "if Sora is weak enough to die then they don't need him"
now these characters are needed, and Xehanort can't afford to lose them
There's two ways I cna see this going
Either
"We need to make Sora and his friends strong enough to clash with us and create Kingdom Hearts"
or
"We need to do these things to guide Sora and his friends to their destined place"
