Why aren't Vanitas' eyes blue?
Terra isn't the only one who is half/part-Xehanort. Braig/Xigbar literally says in DDD that he's already half-Xehanort. In BBS, Braig starts out with brown eyes and then later has yellow eyes, showing that he was made a vessel during the events of BBS. In Birth by Sleep, Xehanort puts his whole heart inside of Terra's body, while with Braig and others, he has placed pieces of his heart within him, as he attempted to do so to Sora in DDD. Quote from Dream Drop Distance Post-Game Interview: The concept of yellow eyes being an effect of darkness is and always has been a fan-made theory. Many characters have used and embraced the darkness and never had yellow eyes.

Why aren't Vanitas' eyes blue?
Except it was never stated that Vanitas got black hair and yellow/golden eyes because of his origin of darkness. As you said, Vanitas looks like Sora due to Ventus' connection with Sora in the beginning of Birth by Sleep. However, it is never stated that the yellow eyes are a result of being part of the darkness. Vanitas' eye colour is the exact same of Master Xehanort and Braig in BBS. Yellow eyes have never been a result or effect of darkness as many characters have used or embraced the darkness but never had yellow eyes, such as Riku, Riku Replica and Maleficent. There's even Sephiroth, the physical manifestation of Cloud's darkness, who has blue eyes, not yellow. As heavily implied in Dream Drop Distance, yellow eyes means that they are part-Xehanort, as shown when the camera zooms straight into Xigbar's/Braig's eye as he says, "Me? I'm already half-Xehanort."

Why aren't Vanitas' eyes blue?
Not exactly. The camera was zoomed into his face to then zoom out to show the dramatic reveal of his face, though the fact that we see his eyes first might have been like a "nudge-nudge, wink-wink" kind of hint, especially since in a previous cutscene, the camera cuts to Braig's eye, showing that it changed colour.

Why aren't Vanitas' eyes blue?
Well, as I said, the camera zooming into Xigbar's/Braig's eye in DDD heavily implies that the yellow eyes are an effect of becoming part/half-Xehanort. There's also the fact that Xehanort isn't a being of darkness. Much like Riku and other characters, he's a human who embraces the darkness and uses it to his advantage, rather than allowing it to control him. Riku, for example, completely gave in to the darkness. His body was literally covered in it. Yet, the colour of his eyes never changed. Same goes for Riku Replica, who embraces the darkness, essentially mirroring KH1 Riku. Besides using Corridors of Darkness, Xigbar was never seen using the darkness and Riku has clearly used it more than he has, so why doesn't Riku have yellow eyes if he used the darkness so much? Xehanort even had yellow eyes before controlling the darkness; all the way back when he was a young boy on an island, believing that his world was just too small. Quotes: Birth by Sleep Ultimania Interviews: Nomura Interviews: 20 Mysteries of the Series: EDIT: One more thing. There is Sephiroth. Cloud's darkness; a literal being of darkness, who has blue eyes, not yellow eyes.

Why aren't Vanitas' eyes blue?
There have been moments in the series when people used darkness but their eyes never turned yellow: Riku Riku Replica Terra Most, if not all, Organization members Maleficent Captain Hook Xion There's also the fact that in the Kingdom Hearts series, hearts shape bodies: Ansem SOD possessed Riku's body in KH1 and made it look like Xehanort in his thirties/forties. After Sora turned into a Heartless, his body (Roxas) had Ventus' heart, thus shaping Roxas to look like Ventus. In 358/2 Days and KH2, Riku still had Ansem SOD in his body and had to look like him to be able to use the darkness fully. In BBS, Xehanort transferred his heart into Terra's body, giving traits of Xehanort; grey hair and yellow eyes. Finally, in Dream Drop Distance, as Xigbar/Braig tells Sora that he's already half-Xehanort, the camera zooms straight into his yellow eye, which was originally brown in BBS and later yellow, implying that the yellow eyes means that the person is part-Xehanort. EDIT: Forgot to mention this quote: Comparing the Organization members when they were human to when they were in the Organization, apart from Xehanort, only Isa and Braig have differently-shaped ears and differently-coloured eyes - why is this?It’s a question of whether or not they’re deeply connected to Xehanort. In Braig’s case, comparing the scene where he’s injured in his battle with Terra and flares up at Xehanort, his appearance afterwards changes, which hints that something happened with Xehanort in between.

Yellow eyes means that they are part-Xehanort. Yellow eyes have nothing to do with the darkness.

For me, none of the games are bad. I love every single one of them. Re:Coded would be my least favourite (not worst, because that would imply that I hate/dislike it.) DDD is one of my favourites, especially in story.

Master Eraqus's status update
*sigh* I went and bought myself an external hard disk for my PS4 so I could finally play 1.5+2.5. I decided to update it before I play. Twice I have waited for the update to finish, only so it would tell me that the update won't work and when I try and play the game without updating, it tells me that it can't read the disk. Why!? I just wanna play!

What if Org 13 finds Ventus first
Sora's attire was made by Yen Sid yes, but the Recusant's Sigil was not. The Robed Figure (or Ansem SOD) had placed the sigil on Sora so that the Organisation would be able to follow Sora and Riku into the Realm of Sleep. The Robed Figure–a Heartless born from that experiment–says “This world has been connected”. While in KH1 that meant the Islands were connected to the darkness, in this title does it signify that Xehanort and company have connected to the Sleeping Worlds?It means both of those things. In that scene, the Robed Figure became a “Portal” himself as a result of contact with Sora’s group, making it possible for the other Xehanorts to intervene within the dreams. [Dream Drop Distance: Ultimania Scenario Mysteries Interview] As Yen Sid states in DDD, Xehanort had to have been at the same time and place when Destiny Islands was lost to darkness because otherwise, Sora and Riku would have been beyond Xehanort's reach. Thus, the Robed Figure had placed the sigil on Sora so that they would be able to follow him and, as Young Xehanort says, tell them where he is at all times. As for Terra, Aqua and Ventus, the X's on their outfits are just that; part of their outfits. A sort of uniform. Aqua and Terra had them before Xehanort even met them and Ventus didn't have it until training under Master Eraqus. In the flashback "The Boy with No Memories" in Birth By Sleep, Ventus doesn't have that part of his clothing. If it truly was the Recusant's Sigil on the BBS trio, then shouldn't have Xemnas or any other form of Xehanort know exactly where Ventus was as he still has the X on his outfit? Even the designs are different. Sora's is just an X on his shirt while the BBS trio's are all straps of clothing. As for Master Eraqus, it could be the Recuasnt's Sigil, but it has yet to be confirmed. But its design is more like Sora's if not exact.

What if Org 13 finds Ventus first
It's not confirmed if she has the Recusant's Sigil. As far as we know, the X she has are just part of her clothing as it doesn't look like the sigil Sora had in DDD. The only other person who had a sigil like Sora's was Master Eraqus. Terra's, Ventus' and Aqua' look like they're part of their clothing/outfits, rather than the X Sora had.

Master Eraqus's status update
When I play a video game, I don't care if it's balanced or not. I don't care if I'm overpowered. I don't care if it's nothing like previous games. I don't care if it's not at that 'ALMIGHTY' 60fps and 1080p. As long as I'm having fun playing (cause isn't that the whole point of playing a game?) that's all that matters to me.

Is it just me, or are the chess pieces from the E3 2015 trailer a HUGE clue as to the darknesses ...
As for the darknesses, two of them show Vanitas' keyhcain, two of them look like the Guardian's head, one of them is an hourglass, one looks like a pair of dice, one is the goat on Xehanort's Keyblade and the rest have been speculated and aren't really clear.

Ah don't worry about it. From what we've seen, the Light pieces seem to imply (if they hint at who the GoL will be) that the Guardians of Light would be Sora, Riku, Kairi, Mickey, Terra, Aqua and Ventus.

It's disgusting and extremely annoying. This person (who I have now blocked ) literally says that my opinion is wrong; that whatever he says is fact. And after typing a paragraph, he just says that it's too bad he won't read it all and that I'm triggered when it's clear that he just can't accept that other people think differently.

Analysis of the Kingdom Hearts III – D23 2017 Toy Story Trailer
What exactly was stated that she shouldn't be here? DDD established that he was one of the 13 Seekers of Darkness, as he is seen in one of the seats, and him returning is easily the result of time travel. Yes, it was stated that once he returned to his own time, he would forget the events that happened, but that doesn't automatically mean he can't time travel again. We obviously don't know the exact details and just because something isn't explained yet doesn't mean it's inconsistent.

No problem: Can we expect far more worlds in Kingdom Hearts 3? TN: With every Kingdom Hearts title, we plan to deliver more worlds than actually appear in game – so we have something in our pockets to work with. Then as we begin to hone these worlds and stages, and some do get cut. [At this point], we have prepared more worlds, in that respect, than Kingdom Hearts 2.

It was actually stated that KH3 will have more worlds than KH2 in an earlier interview in, I think, 2015.
