I thought there were two explanations and I was confused, but it turns out they're both two parts of the same explanation, so thanks for clearing that up for me.

No problem.

They were able to bring Vantias weak heart back from the past and transfer it into a one of the Replica bodies. That's how Vantias was resurrected. However, Vantias said he was still weak and incomplete because he needed Ventus to whole again. Which is why he went to Monsteropolis to regain his strength back because the children's screams and fears help regain Vantias strength back, and reconstruct his heart. But Vantias said despite the children's negative emotion his heart was still incomplete.

Well, I changed "goal" to "finish line" to make it clearer, since "goal" can also mean like... "the goal of the plan" or something. So I see where their mind was with "around the corner", but the part about the "reward" added unnecessary confusion. I still see people wondering what Sora's "reward" was supposed to be... This is another one I can understand, but... I do wonder if there's going to be a distinction later. I know that the word "joker" is interesting to Nomura. I've been having a fun time reading the Type-0 Ultimania and here's something he said... So, you already know what I think - he turned Lean Joker into Luxu. But there are some other interesting things here. First of all, this makes it sound like he came up with Lean's name first, which is wild since Lean wasn't even a playable character in the end. He wasn't even part of the illustration that Nomura was talking about. But also, I feel like he probably used the same method to come up with the Foretellers' names. By the way, the more I read from the Ultimania, the more apparent it is that Type-0 wasn't JUST Tabata's game like most people seem to think. I've had a bunch of people tell me "Ehhh, I don't think this has anything to do with KH because Tabata was the director of that one." Sure, Tabata was the director, but Nomura was still very involved. I just found out that he's also the one who chose the weapons for each character. Apparently he was even present during voice recording. According to this, he was also extremely enamored by the designs of the moogles - so much, he wanted to make matching moogles for Versus XIII. I think I already compared the Type-0 moogles to Chirithies at some point. The way that they're like little guides for the kids and they wear matching clothes... He was really into that. lol Anyway, I still feel like "fool" and "joker" are keywords, but I can't figure out what this is supposed to meeean for the card. The Type-0 Ultimania also said: "Joker, as the name implies, is one who is to be used as a replacement when any of the 12 are missing during the experiment." Which is clever. Almost makes him sound like he's a benched Organization member. But idk if that helps us. lol I'm just throwing things out there and hoping it'll make you think of something.
