This is to do with time travel, you've been warned .

 

So, Ansem Seeker of Darkness in his brown cloak abandons his 'body' and goes back in time to Destiny Islands to give Young Xehanort the power to move forward in time (How Ansem got that power is another question in itself).

 

Young Xehanort moves forward in time, picks up various incarnations of Xehanort and brings them to the current time, Dream Drop Distance.

 

But at the end of the game, WE HEAR XEHANORT SPECIFICALLY SAY "We must all return whence we came" whilst all the seekers of darkness fade away. Skip to 18:50 on this video if you think I'm lying.

 

 

 

So in Kingdom Hearts 3, someone is going to have to time travel backwards again and leave their body behind, get a new body/vessel, magically gain the power to move forward in time and pick up everyone AGAIN.

 

Young Xehanort DOES fade back in the video I linked (19 minutes in). But he said that he'd end up losing his recollection of everything that happened...

 

Master Xehanort doesn't really fade away in the same fashion that the others do which could imply he's just gone somewhere else.

 

So yeah, time travel is going to have to come back in KH3 to bring back everyone again.

 

Bringing all the norts back in DDD for plot convenience was kind of pointless and has now convoluted things even further. The only ones that should've appeared are those that weren't products of time travel like Braig and Isa.

That wouldn't have worked anyway, since the guardians of light wouldn't have 7 people to fight. The GOL would have had to go and find Aqua and Ventus since Sora would be a seeker so there'd only be Yen Sid, Mickey, Riku, Lea and Kairi. That would have taken time and eventually they would have had to go back to their times. They'd run out of time.

 

 

Then they would have taken the 7 princesses.

 

Correct me if Im wrong, but isn't it laid out like this:

 

13 Darknesses: 13 Dark Vessels brought together By Master Xehanort

7 Lights:  7 Princesses of Heart

7 "Guardians" of Light: 7 Keyblade Wielders assembled by Mickey and Yen Sid to fight in place of the 7 Princesses of Heart

 

I think people's problem with this is that most of the time people dont realize that theres a difference between the 7 Lights and 7 Guardians of Light.  Im almost certain Mickey and Gang arent actually lights (Except for Kairi), theyre just placeholders so the 7 Lights (Princesses) dont have to fight

Once again, that hasn't been stated within any of the games that the 7 GOL will protect/help the princesses. It's something the fans have to assume so that the plot makes more sense.

it is said though, in the Secret Ending of DDD

 

Yen Sid: Indeed. Those seven pure hearts form the very source of all lightin the world. If they are lost, the world will again give way to shadow.Thus, even if we deliberately avoid finding our seven lights to avertanother Keyblade War, Xehanort will still target the seven princesses inorder to forge the Chi-blade.Mickey: So...there's gonna be a clash between seven lights and thirteendarknesses...and there's nothing we can do to avoid triggering the KeybladeWar?Yen Sid: To protect the seven pure hearts, we will need seven lightsstrong enough to stand against the thirteen darknesses.

Yin sid said this in the Secret ending.

Everthing that Kaweebo said.

 

 

 This, this, all of this. You, sir or madam, make more sense than anyone else. What everyone seems to forget is that the Xehanorts are all great big liars who will say anything to further their plans. Heck, their catchphrase might as well be:
