    the last photo of ephimerer fighting the invisible is really interesting I think. I'm still wondering if there's a connection between him and the dark inferno which is a secret boss in kh3. especially with the most recent remind trailer we got too.

    From what I can read in the text beside the illustration, it's when Ephemer first meets the Player where the Player helps him defeat an Invisible.


  2. We're exactly 3 months behind now. The Japanese version is at 895 now while we're at 880. At the pace that it's going, we're actually catching up gradually. Back in April, we were around 4 months behind. Though I don't think the updates'll be simultaneous at any point in the future.

    Anyway, the music for Game Central Station (and its connected games) are indeed pretty good!

    That's the beauty of things like this! It can be interpreted any number of ways!

    Yup! As long as something not explicitly elaborated upon in the games/titles, there can be multiple interpretations. I believe even the details exclusive to Nomura's interviews are not 100% set in stone.

    I'm curious on the what the OP's theories are.


  4. I tried watching the Japanese cutscene to see if I can find anything there, but it's generally the same but with some important details. You can watch it here if you want to.

    From what I can see, Xigbar (Luxu) is taken aback by how powerful Sora's ties with his friends are, where both Sora and Xigbar's (and Xemnas too, I suppose) hearts react so much that Xigbar is able to see Sora's friends momentarily.

    Xigbar is saying that Sora himself is nothing and that his only power comes from his friends, and not a true Keyblade wielder. Sora retorts by saying that his connection with the Keyblade's chosen ones makes him strong. In the Japanese version, the mention of the "Keyblade's power" is more explicit. I guess Xigbar is surprised that the power of the Keyblade can empower friendship, and has never seen it before in his entire lifetime given how the Keyblade War occurred.

    Another possibility is that his reaction is a facade. He's trying to push Sora to exhaust himself into a deep sleep.

    That's what I think.


  5. We would need to look at a proper translation of the interview. There seems to be a lost of context in the tweet and that it's not clear enough.

    Changing the release date is not as easy as a flick of a finger, especially when the worldwide release is just days away. What about the midnight launch events throughout the entire world? The shipments? The Square Enix company themselves? This is affecting every single store and company associated with the release of the game. All of the plans and schedules would need to be changed.

    I'm sorry to say this, but it's physically impossible to change release date now. 0% chance.


  6. Spoiler

    It still could be Data-Riku as we've seen him going into Dark Mode before when he was corrupted.

    The beginning of the Final Battle Trailer seems to confirm Demyx as a vessel. We can see a person with a sitar on one of the rock columns. Though he seems to be the only one holding his weapon there. So Demyx, apparently. But the question is why is he seemingly working with Even/Vexen? Even is already shown not to be a vessel in DDD since he's revived along with Ienzo, Lea, Aeleus, and Dilan. Only Isa and Braig disappeared with Young Xehanort. Perhaps they're not working together? Maybe they're just conversing like what Lea and Saïx appear to be doing in the Final Battle Trailer?

    Since the people I've mentioned above should not be vessels unless there's a retcon, the person Saïx is talking to can only be a male with that body build excluding the ex-members above. Demyx doesn't have that body build so he's out. Saïx can't be ordering around someone like Xemnas or Xigbar. Plus, his statement doesn't match either of them. So it can only be Luxord or Marluxia. Even if Vexen is a vessel, it can't be him as the way he stands doesn't match and you can compare the trailers.

    In DDD, Mickey counted the guardians of light as himself, Sora, Riku, Terra, Ventus, Aqua, and someone else (Kairi and Lea). Xehanort replied that Sora and another person belonged to him. Sora was rescued so only one of them is a vessel. Terra (or rather, Terra-Xehanort) is confirmed to be a vessel and we've seen him being active in KH0.2 as well as in the trailers. Therefore, at that point in time at least (which is already after KH2 and Re:coded), Ventus and Aqua can't be vessels. Plus, by counting Xion and Terra-Xehanort, the seats are already full. Aqua is not and will not be a vessel.

    The seats are apparently full without Demyx. That's a problem. The numbers don't add up. Perhaps this has something to do with the 15 chess pieces? Or perhaps at least one would defect to the guardians of light (e.g. Terra or Xion)?

    As for the guardians of light, the confirmed ones are:

    1.    Sora
    2.    Riku
    3.    Mickey
    4.    Kairi
    5.    Lea

    And with the Final Battle Trailer, Ventus is confirmed. If Aqua is successfully saved, she'll be another guardian.

    The seekers of darkness are still very weird and confusing. But I do want to point out something. The 12 people at the end of the Final Battle Trailer seem to not contain smaller or shorter people like Vanitas, Xion, and Data-Riku/Riku Replica.

    No someone leaking a game isn't dangerous enough for prison a fine sure but prison hell no it's a video game not nuclear launch codes.

    You have no idea how serious it is. There's even a case I heard regarding manga. Some manga are released within magazines weekly or monthly so they're only released officially in physical format to Japanese. Manga translators typically have someone or some people to get the raw material illegally for them to translate. And this happens before the magazine is released officially and so translated manga are revealed to public before the Japanese are even able to buy the magazines and read them. And so, there are some uninformed manga readers who have no idea how this thing works and how they're actually reading illegally obtained material, make tweets regarding what they've read on Twitter normally to the author themselves, therefore alarming the author and the Japanese of this illegal work which is extremely disrespectful to all the Japanese. So there's a case I've heard where a person who obtained the raw material got caught and jailed.

    What do you think of a person stealing products of a video game and selling them in advance of the official release date just for their own profit, then? It's much worse, isn't it?

    That's a good idea.  It's possible that Terra turns from one side to the other.  Young Xehanort does say in the Toy Story trailer that they are missing a darkness that must be reclaimed.  Maybe he was talking about Terra.

    Other than that, I have two other ideas for why the same symbol appears on each side.  My first idea is that one of them represents Lingering Will.  My other idea is that the chess game represents not just the final battle, but the entire Dark Seeker Saga.  So, if Xehanort captures Terra's piece when it's on the side of the lights, maybe that is meant to represent what happened in Birth by Sleep.

    Good points. The Opening Movie Trailer has already shown how Xehanort influenced the events of the games with the chess pieces so it might be the Dark Seeker Saga. This also brings up another question. We actually don't know the rules of the chess game. We were just assuming that it functions like standard chess. It's a weird chess game with apparently 14 pieces on one side and 9(?)(I counted at least 9) pieces on the other side. Perhaps by capturing a piece under a certain condition, one can make that piece their own. Who knows?

    I think the symbol is meant to be the Keychain for Terra's Ends of the Earth Keyblade, which is why I think that it represents Terra.

    Oh, yeah. I didn't notice that. It does bear some striking resemblance. So would Terra-Xehanort be the one to almost defeat Sora after Sora is cornered? ?

    You do bring up some good points here.  I have been going back and forth on whether those cubes are dice or Bug Blox for a while now, so I think that it could be either Luxord or Data-Riku.

    200px-Young_Xehanort%27s_Keyblade_KH3D.png

    However, since Young Xehanort's Keyblade has an hourglass for a Keychain, I think that the hourglass is meant to represent Young Xehanort.

    I'm quite confident that the cubes represent Bug Blox and hence, Data-Riku. Unless Data-Riku is actually the second last one which is the Maleficent-looking one?

    The hourglass is tearing me apart, since both Young Xehanort and Luxord are associated with time. But now that you reminded me that the keychain for Young Xehanort's Keyblade is an hourglass, I think Young Xehanort suits better then. And Luxord doesn't seem to be very closely associated with time other than during his battle in KH2. Time for him is more like the time in gambling, not in general. But I still don't think the cubes are dice.

    If I may add one more point to back up the theory that Xion is a seeker of darkness, she totally has a silver hair in the Opening Movie trailer.

    I did notice that but I would say that it's the lighting, and also weirdly how Xion has silver hair here for some reason. To symbolise that she's already turned (by Xemnas somehow?) prior to meeting Roxas for the last time?

     

    I did mention previously that the third last symbol has some similarities with Saïx's weapon the Lunatic. But some people have also been saying that Vexen's shield the Frozen Pride also has similarities. Some have been saying it to be Aqua's Rainfell, but I don't buy that and it's too far-fetched. Aqua also shouldn't be associated with the Rainfell anymore but the Stormfall. Anyway, I'm curious how both Saïx and Vexen's weapons have a similar trait. Just a coincidence? If not, what does this mean for the original Organization XIII?


  9. At first, I was suspecting that there might be some retcon on the chess pieces regarding the number being 14. But all of them appeared in the Opening Movie Trailer except for the one you guessed that represents Terra which didn't appear explicitly. But that piece is very important since it's the one used to "checkmate" Eraqus in the TGS 2018 Trailer. So there are indeed 14 of them.

    The question is why. Even in the Winnie the Pooh Trailer, there are only 12 hooded figures appearing together with Xehanort. There is also no reason to have 14 since Xehanort needs exactly 13 darknesses and 7 lights, unless they need backup. Though I want to point out something regarding the "Terra" piece (or Terra-Xehanort). It has also appeared in the light side of the chess as the exact same symbol. A possible conversion? Hence, the backup? It's also the one used to "checkmate" as I mentioned earlier.

    I largely agree with you on the representations of the chess pieces. But first, I need to point out something I just noticed. The third last symbol seems to be very similar to Saïx's weapon the Lunatic, but inverted. But I still think Saïx is the one you guessed.

    Other than that, I think I disagree on Luxord, and so it may cause some problem with Young Xehanort as well. I'm also starting to get skeptical on Terra since the symbol doesn't represent Terra in any way. But the possible conversion makes my head ache.

    Anyway, for Luxord, dice don't quite represent Luxord for me. His attribute is time and his weapon is the deck of cards called the Fair Game, not dice. There's no chess piece that represents cards so it would be time which means Luxord would be taking Young Xehanort's place.

    Now here's another problem: Young Xehanort is mostly associated with time. Since the clock is presumably taken by Luxord, I'll put him as the second last chest piece which has some similarity with the goat symbol as Master Xehanort. Why? His Keyblade also has a goat, and he's literally Xehanort.

    And yes, I'm very certain Maleficent is not one of them, mainly because it would defeat the purpose of her own plans and her villainy role in the KH series.

    I don't think Vexen and Demyx are as well. Ienzo, Aeleus, Even, Dilan and Lea awakened in the same computer room which is proof that they're not part of the real Organization XIII. Isa and Braig were there too but disappeared with Young Xehanort, so they're seekers of darkness. And since "Demyx" seems to be working together with Even and possibly Ienzo as well, I assume he's not.

    Data-Riku is heavily implied so I would put him in Luxord's previous piece which would represent Bug Blox (which have already appeared in the TGS 2018 Trailers).

    Another person I'm suspecting is Xion. There are two feminine hooded figures in the Winnie the Pooh Trailer with one of them being small-sized. Since Larxene is one of them, so the other one would be a small-sized female. Naminé or Xion? Xion seems much more likely to me. But I don't know which chess piece suits her.

    So 2 chess pieces + Terra-Xehanort remain unknown for me.


  10. I'm in Malaysia and some of us have some questions on the regions of KH III and how DLC codes for the Starlight Keyblade work for them. So I would need some clarification.

    In the PS Store, the game in either the US store or in the Malaysian store seems to have the exact same region code or product ID which is "CUSA12031_00". Does this mean that the product code for the Starlight Keyblade would work on both of these products?

    KH III (Malaysian store): https://store.playstation.com/en-my/product/UP0082-CUSA12031_00-ASIAFULLGAME0000

    KH III (US store): https://store.playstation.com/en-US/home/product/UP0082-CUSA12031_00-KINGDOMHEARTSX30

    The All-In-One Package in the Malaysian PS Store also seems to have the same ID.

    All-In-One Package (Malaysian store): https://store.playstation.com/en-my/product/UP0082-CUSA12031_00-ASIAIM0000000000

    The following image has the game in the Malaysian store (top) and the US store (bottom).47082920_10217332028551150_5667610990938685440_o.thumb.jpg.7aca28c9a35dfd2c9ce62be93069824c.jpg
