Sir Adamus

Except that Kairi has been confirmed to have inherited the power of the Keyblade from Aqua. Also, if Kairi got a Keyblade, her Princess abilities wouldn't interfere with that, they'd just sort of be there. Like how Vexen has a shield, but also uses ice. She could use her Princess abilities in conjunction with the Keyblade, but her powers are sort of limited to people she cares about (her friends).

Plus, they're magic, and so will probably adjust and change as he grows. Not to mention they grant him easier access to his magic and such.

Now I see what you're on about. The Keyblade War was fought over Kingdom Hearts and the most powerful Keyblade, the X-Blade. It can only be forged when a heart of light and a heart of darkness merge together however (Ventus and Vanitas did that). The X-Blade is made from the fusion of the two hearts, and if it's destroyed, then the hearts that make it will be too, or near enough. There was no 'third side' in the Keyblade War, no idea where you got that from, the third type of Keyblade only became necessary after the Keyblade War. Xehanort mentioned it briefly, as one of his many plans (which he attempted to act upon as Ansem the Seeker of Darkness). Nomura has confirmed that the Keyblade of People's Hearts is the third type of Keyblade, which has only come into existence once, though incompletely, during Kingdom Hearts 1. The 'Keyblade of Heart', as you put it, IS the same as the Keyblade of People's Hearts. Also, Namin

Just because Riku's heart was weak during the events of KH doesn't mean it is now, post KH2. A lot has happened since then. I mean, Sora acknowledged that his heart was weak in Hollow Bastion, but that with each new experience and friendship he made, it had grown stronger. Riku's been doing a lot of experiencing since Sora went into his sleep, who's to say that his heart hasn't grown just as strong.

What are you on about? A 'Keyblade of Heart'? Kairi inherited the power to use a Keyblade from Aqua (accidentally), as soon as the right circumstances are reached, Kairi will gain access to her own Keyblade, a Keyblade of the Light, like Sora's and Riku's. And, by extension, if she ever physically appears again, so should Namin

I know right.

He could wield without Ven's heart post-Hollow Bastion through CoM : Yeah, basically, Ven's presence basically gave Sora the ability to wield a Keyblade and whatever. So, Ven's heart basically performed the Keyblade initiation thingy by choosing Sora as a protector.

Jack, I came.... To this forum. To deliver a message. "Card games on motorcycles."

In KH1, Sora used the Keyblade of People's Hearts to release Kairi's heart from within him. This also released Sora's heart, and unleashed the darkness within it, causing it to become a Heartless. Ven's heart stayed within Sora's body, thus creating Roxas. Kairi then used her unique abilities as a Princess of Heart to forge Sora a new body and soul identical to the one he lost. When the time comes to release Ventus's heart, Sora will likely have to do a little Dive to the Heart to remove Ventus's heart from his own (which is how Ventus's heart ended up within Sora's anyway). Ventus's heart will probably then return to his body just fine. Stabbing yourself with a keyblade is a good way to release a heart, but Ventus can be convinced to just leave.

He did, Nomura confirmed that he was in the middle of his exam during the events of BBS. Yen Sid does things a little differently, clearly.

Eraqus, Yen Sid, Xehanort, Aqua and Mickey.

If we are talking about literal age here, Roxas is only 2-3 years old. Actually, just less than a year, before he rejoined with Sora anyway. But physically, yeah, he's the same age as Sora.

Riku doesn't have a Nobody. When Ansem possessed Riku, he basically pushed Riku out, Riku didn't get his body back until Ansem was defeated. He also didn't become a Heartless, Xehanort's Heartless was just using his body as a vessel.

The first two episodes are up as well, it's really quite professional

Probably before.

Um.. no. Sora was 14 in KH1, and with KH2 being 1 year later, he's 15. Kairi is the same. Riku is a year older than Sora and Riku (16). Ventus appears identical to Roxas, as does Vanitas to Sora, so they're about 15. Terra and Aqua are not that much older than Ventus, so I doubt Terra is even in his 20s. Also, considering that Master Xehanort is like, super old, and he studied at the same time as Eraqus, I highly doubt that they're both in their 40s. Also, in response to Aergh, Namin

KH3D will be released sometime over the next year or so. It's been in development for a while, what was seen at E3 was just thrown together to show off what SE can do with the 3DS without giving away anything about the story.

Yeah, well, she's young. Anyway, yeah, hoping to, I'd like to improve and I really like the style, so I'm hoping to draw a version with a body on a big sheet, which I will then have to ruthlessly slice up to scan in. :')

That's really rude. >_> It also only looks that way to you because it's just a headshot, not a full body. I don't mind, really. I think it's funny I'd've drawn a full body pic, but A4 sheets don't allow me to draw a full body when I draw at such a large size. Also, my scanner won't accommodate large paper sizes either, so meh.

Thanks

Thanks. It's a girl. :|

Thing is, it's gonna be a very very very long time until then. And it'll be hilarious.

=D Thanks. Took a while to draw, had to erase a lot of things when I compared it to existing art. Mostly the eye.

Mickey was in the middle of his mark of mastery exam during the events of BBS, so maybe the way Yen Sid does the exam is different than how Eraqus does it. And it's pretty likely that 3D will just be the exam, and Nomura wouldn't make a game that consists of a few fights and then end, so the game is going to have a few twists and turns in it. Maybe Xehanort will move before they can finish the exam, we can't know right now. If 3D was Sora and Riku's mark of mastery exam, why would they look like they did in kh1? I don't see any reason for them to tap into their memories (again) just to complete it. KH3D happens after Coded. Also, who said anything about tapping into memories? Maybe Yen Sid will teleport them into a replica of the universe, and send them out to complete certain tasks without actually interfering with the affairs of other worlds or wasting time when Xehanort could attack at any moment. We can't know right now, there isn't enough information for us to know, but Nomura HAS stated that 3D will deal with their exam.
