Yeah but the theory Axel is a good actor and Roxas having Ven's heart makes sense! If they really grew their own hearts we get this: Sora originally has 1 heart. Then he harbors Vens heart , hence has 2. Roxas is born, takes Ven's heart, grows his own heart, hence has two. Xion grows her own heart, roxas merges with xion hence has 3. Roxas returns to sora leaving him with 4 hearts. Even if they restore ven and xion and roxas as own persons it doesn'T work: Axel grew a heart but when he returned as Lea he still has 2 own hearts!! It was also said that Axel was affected by sora's heart and therefore had glimpses of emotions. But the mess of nobodies having nurtured hearts messes up everything and literally states "I as a director changed my mind and now all my previous theories are not valid anymore. As I can't re-release the previous titles I just include time travel and say that's the solutions for everything"

Awesome theory! While I'd rather not see Roxas return, I think they will revive him anyway. But I think we know he's not one of the seven already (DDD opening features him as seventh besides Mickey, Sora, Riku, Ven, Terra and Aqua but Xehanort says Yen Sid is some guardians short, terra is unavailable, mickey says he can retrieve aqua and ven + KAiri and Lea = Mickey, Sora, Riku, Aqua, Ven, Kairi, Lea) I totally agree on the Kairi+ Lea scenario in th erealm of darkness and the Aqua rescuing Ven in Castle Oblivion!! I'd LOVE to have a really mysterious world of ruins in the darkness! And Finally Castle Oblivion without cards, haha

Didn't Mickey confirm all the 7 guardians already? He said they had Mickey (himself), Sora, Riku, Terra, Aqua and Ven. Xehanort said they are two or three guardians short! (cuz of Terra being Xehanortified and Ven sleeping and one short anyway) But still, they DO have Mickey, Riku, Sora, Lea, Kairi and they found a way to wake Ven and they located Aqua (Was mentioned in the game) So the 7 are: Mickey, Riku, Aqua (Masters) Sora, Ven (Intermediate wielders) Lea, Kairi (Rookies) As for the 13 Darknesses we know: Master Xehanort, Ansem, Xemnas, Xigbar, Saix and Young Xehanort (I know he is unconfirmed and he says he has to return to his time "now" but still he is sitting on a throne briefly in DDD!) Sora escaped so Xehanort is 1 short and so we can say: Master Xehanort, Ansem, Xemnas, Xigbar, Saix, Young Xehanort, 1 undefined = 7 this leaves 6 for our speculation: Vanitas is almost certainly included Terra-Xehanort / Apprentice Xehanort is almost certain too (unless Terra is the Guardian of Ansem) because they will rescue Terra and this is the most obvious way to do it So we can add those to the latter 7 and we have a total of 9. So we have absolutely no clue what 4 of the members look like while 1 seat has to be replaced due to sora not working out.

I didn't like the new Org. XIII plans at all. It takes away the originality and importance of KHII completely. I also hated the new theories they introduced cuz they contradict everything that has lasted for more then 10 years! (time travel and Nobodies that grow heart) I woudl even agree on multiple main characters IF 1) Sora got enough screentime (I really miss 15 y o Sora!) 2) other playable characters could use the very same growth system (Like starting with sora and leveling up to say lv 15 and then switching to riku and continuing on lv 15). 3) The transition to another playable charcater is timed right (no drop system or player's choince) - if they include it right they can make it more cimactic liek Sora getting trapped by Xehanort in KHII and Riku taking over! 4) IF we get multiple playable characters the MUST include Mickey and Kairi!!! I'll gladly read your theory! So true! I get sick when I think I'll have to figt Xemnas and Ansem, Young Xehanort even just on e more time!

I must agree on that one, Kairi is one of the well-rounded characters of the series! In KH1 she is a little tomboyish and wild, but she is still pure-hearted. She is just innocent. After her capture and rescure she realizes her inner strength for the first time (when recognizing and restoring heartless sora) Back in Traverse town she gets a bit more serious with the coming final battle. At the end she is sent back to the isles and has no other choice but she still is hurt by hert departure from where sora is. In CoM and Days the whole Memory messup is taking part. Due to Naminé's interference with Sora's most precious memories (those of Kairi), Kairi even forgets Sora's name and his imprtance to her. In Days this relationship is torn apart even further when those memories become trapped in Xion. We have to notice that Sora and Kairi grow to their 15 year old version during this time but due to their memories we only see them in their 14 year old versions during this period. All characters remembering them as well as the memories themselves have never seen the 15 yo versions. (and Sora in Halloween town in KH2 imagines Kairi how he remembers her as 14 year old girl). Thsi transformation is also visible in Naminé who changes appearance from the 14 yo girl in CoM to the 15 yo veriso in Days and beyond. KH2 features the biggest development for KAiri in both physical as well as characterisic fields. At the beginning (until she connects with roxas as her memories return) she only remembers vaguely that other than riku another boy used to play with them. Besides the natural distance 1 year of not seeing someone can bring, she has grown more mature and seems focused on school work more intensely (summer vacation's over, right ) As the Name and Memories of Sora return to her, she feels the urge of reuniting with him. She does remmeber Riku (or at least his name) and she does not feel like going to look for him! But she even wrote a letter for Sora that will reunite them in the end. She is looking desperatley for a way to go look for Sora which is why she tkaes the plunge though Axel's portal. In Twilight Town ALL of the town gang members confirm how big her desire is to see sora and after she is captured by Org. XIII she is indeed willing to get active and break free. After meeting Riku on the way she sees Sora fighting and she unleahses her ultimate strength whith the help of Riku in form of a keyblade (and this is indeed her own strength a she inherited this pwer from Aqua in Radiant garden). She even jumps from a platform to join her firend in battle and after the threat is vanquished they meet again in person after so long. Sora is kind of stunned by how much she has changed but she rushes forward to hug him and see if it is really him. Then they continue on their journey together until they are separated at the end. And there Sora and Riku are saved due to the (love) letter Kairi wrote for sora and her pure light. Kairi gets a lot more princell-like and lady-like in KH2 and she also remains strong-hearted in her search for Sora. The ultimate prof for their predestined relationship is that Sora's most precious thing is Kairi and his memories of her and vice versa. Despite all the dark forces working against them they always overcome the obstacles and reunite. Sora is a silly and light-hearted guy most of the time but he's always serious and romantic when it comes to Kairi. Granted, he's like this toward Riku too and he even cires when seeing Riku again, but it's more like biased sad+happy tears cuz he's glad to have his bro again but yet Riku gave in again to Ansem's darkness for whatever reason. Sora blushes when talking about her, Donald and Goofy tease him because of this, Sora cries a lot over Kairi-related matters and KAiri is his top priority in KH2. Sory kneels down and begs (!!!) Saix hoping he would take him to Kairi. I could go on and on but I'll also brush on the contradicting facts in more recent titles: In the "Reconnect KH" secret endings sprawled over BbS, Coded and DDD, Sora and KAiri have a more peripheral relationship. When Sora decides to go on yet another journey she only urges him to come back soon rather than going with him. She does gove him her lucky charm wayfinder, though. Kairi is also not present during Sora's Mark of Mastery Exam which is weird. Sora takes a dangerous exam and he has only Riku to hug at the end?? Sora also has no rush to return to his "girlfriend" but heads to see his Dreameater friends... Wouldn't a faithful girlfriend scome to her boyfriend's graduation exam? And Wouldn'd a faithful boyfriend rush back to his girlfriend after he almost died in an assault of the utmost evil thing ever?? But I'm not even starting criticizing the most inconsistent of all titles (DDD) so I'll just pretend they didn't include her for time or ease reasons. Nevertheless, Kairi IS willing to to train and hone her Keyblade skills, be it because she wants to go with sora to the ends of the world(s) or because she's sick of getting kidnapped - only time and KHIII will tell.

This is just my theory and I know I contradict the direction they are taking. As I stated "if DDD didn'T happen"... Anyway, I didn't like the multiple characters so far because it takes away depth of the game. I hated having to level up sora and Riku individually in DDD. I never finished BbS cuz I got too lazy to complete the game 3 times. I did complete Kh1 and Kh2 cuz it's easier to keep an overview and complete all the tasks. I don't mind temporary switches in controls like Mickey and Riku or Roxas in KH2 but I think it wouldn't be an authentic "numbered" Kingdom Hearts title if it wasn't Sora, Donald and Goofy exclusively.

Hahaha, fair enough. But still, Sora+Kairi is predestined! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qlfyFq_PEg and this is only Part 1, haha Anyway, granted, Mr Nomura is known for coming up with unconventional solutions, but still, I'm almost certain they'll get together in KHIII!! Besides, what is the alternative? Riku? Nah! Although, Nomura-san would get huge enjoyment out of throwing all those shippers off track with something like this: Sora, Riku and Kairi return to Destini Islands Main Isle. Riku and Sora are welcomed by their Moms while Kairi walks off holding hands with her boyfriends. This would 100% fit Nomura logic: *fans don't expect this *it's so off it's actually possible *a new character is ontroduced fans keep wondering WHERE he has been all this time. Hahaha, just kidding, Sora+Kairi is gonna happen. Period!

I got the whole thing together now: Assuming they Did get their happy endings in BbS (proven by the credits scenes), Maleficent and other Dark powers pulled those worlds into darkness! BbS Final Mix confirms this. Aqua encounters a fallen Castle of dreams in the realm of Darkness. (and the fairy godmither confirms this at merlin'S place) Dark realms act like a timeless space or sleep and if maleficent caught Aurora before her world disappeared (she had terra extract her heart and therefore knew it was pure light!) and Cinderella too and they slept in a timeless sleep until Sora rescued them in Hollow Bastion. (Just like Ven! His heartless sleep seems to prevent him from growing older) Count: 2 I guess Snow white was lost in the realm of darkness with her world as Maleficent didn't know who all those princesses were yet. Snow white wandering in Darkness would explain why she didn't grow older (just like Aqua, she still looks like the age she had in BbS!) I think I remember Snow White talks about wandering through darkness at some point in KH1 (could be she talks about the dark forest but still). An alternative scene in KH1 proves she was captured recently (If you finish Deep Jungle before Wonderland we see the villains capture Snow instead of Alice!). Another proof her world was lost to darkness: the remnants of Castle of dreams, Dwarf woodlands (and I think even Enchanted dominion) can be found at the end of the world! Count: 3 Assuming that the "known" Princesses of Heart are featured in the stained glass pictures at the Dive to the Heart place, Belle is captured next and Beast escapes the darkness consuming this world. He pursues the capturer and by the time Sora get to Hollow Bastion he's already there. Count: 4 The remaining three peincesses are represented in the pink stained glass window. The Moon for Jasmine, Sun for Alice and the middel one for Kairi. Alice is captures live "on screen" and in the regular chronology of worlds we see her being brought o the villains' lair. (alternative scene is Snow, mentioned above) Count: 5 Next one that is captured is Jasmine which is the last "obvious" princess. Count : 6 Kairi is taken by Hook , I guess and later taken by Riku who carries her to Hollow Bastion all by himself. Count: 7 The last piece of the puzzle is Sora who 'delivers' Kairi's Heart to complete the Union of Princesses. After the plan failed, All the princesses returned to their world and eventually they'll get their happy ends. Most princes slept anyway and so they can just continue after their weddings. BUT: Major Flaw of the PoH Theory: As Xehanort Extracted Ven's Darkness and therefore Created Vanitas as Pure Dark-hearted. I don't know if Vanitas' darkness returns to Ven when they fuse or after Vanitas is destroyed. I also don't know it Sora's heart which completed Ven's fractured heart replaced some of Ven's missin gdarkness... But still, Ven's heart is always represented as a pure orb of light (just like all other princess hearts; Sora's is represented like the standard hearts as that pink heart-shaped crystal; most often seen on the Game over/continue screen) [However, I think Xehanort's heart in DDD is princess-shaped too but I doubt his consists of pure light ] To finally get to my Theory: Would this make VEN, granted though artificially created, a Prince of Heart????

I think their happy endings are shown during the credits (as is Belle's) but I totally agree on the theory of maleficent stealing them soon after and maybe even putting those worlds to sleep (it's her speciality after all) If most worlds and characters slept most of the 10 years from BbS to KH1 it explains why they didn't grow older!

Thank you, I've been working on this ending for a while. Correction: Trashing DDD is the second best thing that could happen to KHIII. I just can't imagine KHIII without finally seeing some more romantic Sora+Kairi interaction. Sora and Kairi are so cute together this is my top-priority and even if everything else gets worse and very DDD focused I might even play the game just to see some romance, haha

But it is a real good theory! It totally makes sense!

I think Ariel could not breath out of water for a ong period, that's why it would create problems having her sit in Hollow Bastion for too long. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I seeeeeeeeeeeee !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never thought of it that way! But to be honest, Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora already got married at the end of BbS. Do you really think they are still virgins?? According to this Theory Ariel is the only princess who has a daughter in the Disney sequel, none of the other princesses do. And do you think Kairi would lose her status as PoH IF (big IF) she got together with Sora in KHIII?? Maybe there are more than 7 princesses?

Skip to the End, I think my ending theory is really good, haha

Ariel should have taken Alice's place. Originally Ariel was planned to be one of the PoH but was replaced with Alice cuz the developers thought it would be too difficult to bring Alice out of the water and take her to Hollow Bastion. While I do see the difficulties in having a mermaid sitting on the stone chapel floor in hollow bastion (and Disney refusing to allow this because she couldn't breath or at least notr for long out of water), I DO think it would have worked. They could have had Ursula luring Ariel to become a human (KH2 Atlantica Plot) and then Riku would have kidnapped Ariel in Human form. I definitely can see Ariel standing in the Chapel. Even Mermaid Ariel would have worked if you imagine her fishtail disappearing into that crystal in the grand hall. And she would have been sleeping anyway but I guess it would have created problems with her being a party memebr in Atlantica and all. My main problem with Alice is that I don't see her having a PURE heart of light (especially in the Movie!) and Ariel has a much more innocent temper than Alice.

Imagine how awesome KHIII could have been if it skipped from CODED right to KHIII: (OLD) master Xehanort returns and wants to recreate a Keyblade war by recruiting many Disney and Final Fantasy villains besides some new Original Character bad guys. Yen Sid leads his army consisting of Sora, Riku, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Aqua and Ven, they clash and the good guys are assisted by some new Original characters that are drawn into the war. Sora is the only main character and travels to many different worlds with Donald and Goofy. At certain fights he gets help from Mickey and the others like in KH2. Drive forms are back and Sora can use the original 5 but also gains new ones. Reaction commands are more prominent and it is possible to enter command styles this way. Sora can summon actual people like in KH1 rather than out-of-place roller-coasters and parade floats. New Worlds include “Tangled”, “Frozen”, “Duckburg” (whooo-oo), “Shibuja”, “Louisiana Bayou (Princess and the Frog)”, “Treasure Planet”, “The Black Cauldron”, “Bambi’s forest”, “Jungle Book”, “101 Dalmatians” (guiding Dalmatians while fighting Jasper, Horace and Cruella!!!), "Pocahontas Jamestown and Riverlands" (Native Tribes Sora but I see Disney causing troubles due to political correctness) Vastly extended worlds return with new storylines: “Radiant Garden”, “Twilight Town” (Hayner Olette Pence!! ), “Traverse Town”, “Destiny Islands” (finally playable again, maybe even first world!), “Keyblade Graveyard”, “Kingdom Hearts” (we finally get to see it), “100 acre wood” (always welcome to chill out at and surely cute with new graphics), “Port Royal” (Plot of Pirates 4 and return of merman Sora fighting an underwater battle against evil mermaids and sharks!), “Never Land” (mainlands, goofing with lost boys and fighting Hook is always fun as well as FLYING!!), “Olympus coliseum” (fighting ALL of the Titans!), “Land of Dragons” “Beasts Castle” “Dwarf Woodlands” All of the princesses of light’s worlds actually with awesome quests to save them all from Xehanort’s minions who want to capture them. Sora wants to find a way to get to Xehanort’s secret hideout and he has to fight Disney villains in their respective worlds who act as guardians for Xehanort's plans. More and more new bad guy characters interfere with Sora's paths and he finds out where Xehanort is hiding. As he approaches the Keyblade graveyard he fights Xehanort who has some new tricks and spells and Sora is assisted by several characters as party members. Imagine Sora, Riku and Aqua against Xehanort's ultimate Dragon-like form. Donald and Goofy protect Kairi and the princesses of heart back at Mysterious tower/ twilight town and Kairi especially fights off an army of heartless invading the tower. Xehanort pulls a final trick: he found indeed a way to unlock Kingdom Hearts. Then He threatens to kill Sora, all other characters are locked out and Sora has to fight a final fight before losing to Xehanort. Eventually Sora is almost lost and Yen Sid fights and defeats Xehanort for good. Anyway there ARE some losses, Ven dies as do two of the 4 new characters and Sora almost dies too. Sora recovers and Kairi confesses her Love for him in fear he might die. Masters Aqua, Mickey and Riku and (now-again) Master Yen Sid combine their Curaza spells but Sora faints and only Kairi can save Sora with a Kiss of true love. Everything is fine, everyone returns to their home worlds. Yen Sid trains one of the new Characters to wield the keyblade. Sora, Riku and Kairi return to Destiny Islands and Kairi and Sora are finally together. Riku also brought another girl he met on their journey. Mickey, Pluto, Donald and Goofy return to Disney Castle /Town and are happily welcomed by Minnie and Daisy. Jiminy goes back to Pinocchio's world. Aqua returns to the now-restored Land of Departure and examines Yen Sid's students for the Mark of Mastery. She also built a memorial for her fallen friends Ven and Terra. THE BEST thing of KHIII could be its predictability. Deaths like Ven’s would come surprisingly but the sheer technical and visual superiority of the game combined with the final loss of Xehanort we are yearning for yould be the biggest strength of the game. And a classical Disney-style Ending scene: First we see all those ending scenes I mentioned above, and then during the credits all the Disney endings are played like in previous games. Then the final scene: Riku and his girl are leaning against the Paopu tree on Destiny islands, hugging and Kairi is seen fishing a bottled message out of the water by the docks. (a new raft is seen there too!) Kairi opens the bottle and is surprised the letter is addressed to her. She reads the letter out loud and finds out it’s from Sora. The letter includes some poem that is similar to Kairi’s letter that saved sora in KH2 and ends with something really romantic/tacky like this: We can see the end of the letter: […] Kairi, You are my One Sky, my destiny. I’ll always be with you And I’ll always keep this promise. [yours truly, Sora ] Beneath the text we see Sora drew the Paopu fruit sharing he drew on the stone wall in the secret cave. (and his drawing skills have not improved a bit, haha) Then we see Sora sneaking up behind Kairi and covering her eyes with his hands from behind. Due to her eyes being covered, she stops reading but Sora finishes “I’ll aways be with you…” She smiles, turns around and her smile becomes radiant when she sees it’s indeed Sora. Then the camera turns behind the two of them with a wonderful view of the glittering golden sea behind them. The light gets more intense and for a moment we see Naminé and Roxas smiling at each other and Naminé sheds a tear that continues running down Kairi’s cheek. Sora, having watery eyes himself, wipes the tear off her cheek. Finally we turn to a Disney fairy tale movie-like close up showing their faces getting closer, their eyes closing and finally, accompanied by Mrs. Shimomura’s subtlest yet most majestic tunes, the final Kiss of true love. Fade and then the golden letters “The End” appear before the animated logo of Kingdom Hearts III materializes and the music fades out. The battle report screen shows the usual record data and features a most beautiful artwork including all characters in the series, similar to the one in the KH2 Final Mix. Hope you enjoy this theory and despite I fear KHIII won’t be as great because it’s been hyped and idolized for too long now, and DDD did a major part in downgrading its potential, I’ll get it just for the growing possibility of Sora and Kairi finally getting together!! Feel free to add you own ideas!

Enough ranting from me but please also check out my other thread in which I included my theories of what I want KHIII to be! It's mostly based on the focus on Sora as THE main character (like he was in KH1 and KH2 - it'S a major numbered title after all) and the relationship to/with (!!) Kairi finally getting resolved. How big do you see the chances for Sora and Kairi finally getting a Disney Princess+Prince styled Happy End?

So still I think it's lame if in KHIII Sora, Riku, Kairi, Roxas, Naminé, Xion, Lea, Ven, Aqua, Terra, Mickey, Donald, Goofy are all plain normal somebodies. Most of them wield keyblades. WHERE DID THE DIVERSITY GO?? EVERYONE is "just" a keyblade wielder. Ever heard of diversity in weapons (chacrams anyone? true dualwielding?), fate of characters (there can't be happy ends for all!) or powers. Kingdom Hearts would be so much better if Roxas and NAmine existed only within Sora and Kairi, Terra was lost forever, Xion died for good, Master Eraqus was gone for good and Lea stuck to his fiery weapons. Nomura stated that there is no concept of death in this series so I fear that KHIII will just be a conglomerate of tons of similar characters that are just boring cuz they're gonna be all the same (and some even look exactly the same (Ven Roxas, Sora Vanitas Xion Kairi)). What was once the prototype for 1 unique character = Sora is now applicable for ALL good characters in KHIII: young, brave, strong-hearted, affiliated with light rather than darkness, fightin for his/her firends, Keyblade wielder, positive attitude, never gives up. Sound like Sora in KH 1 until KH2 now it's all of them. Am I the only one who misses sad Aqua, blank minded and angry Roxas, taunting Axel, pure light Kairi and fallen Riku? Same is true for ALL bad guys in KHIII: ONE WORD: XEHANORT and wielding some kind of keyblade-like weapons Doesn't anyone miss the Organization with their INDIVIDUAL members and attitudes and weapons? KH 2's ORG: XIII with wimpy-watery Demix, gambling Luxurd and merely brutal Xaldin beats KHIII's TRUE ORG XIII with XEHANORT^13 BY FAR!!! And besides that, we HAVE FOUGHT ANSEM AND XEMNAS`TOO OFTEN!! DIE ALREADY! I twitch at the fact of fighting Ansem Seeker of Darkness even just ONE MORE TIME!!!

Feel free to correct me or explain any theories HOW exactly this works: * Ven had his heart scattered * Vanitas was created * Sora filled what was missing in Ven's heart * Vanitas got destroyed * Ven Merges his heart with Sora's * Sora merges with Kairi's Heart * Sora releases all his hearts * Sora becomes a heartless * Namine is created * Kairi regains her heart and awakes * Roxas is created * Roxas takes in Ven's heart * Sora regains his heart * Sora is restored as somebody * Xion is created * Xion is destroyed * Xion fades (where does she go?) * Roxas merges with Sora * Namine merges with Kairi * Data Sora is created * Data Namine is created * Data Namine fades * Data Sora is destroyed * Sora's heart falls asleep * Sora's heart fades into darkness * Ven's Heart armors Sora's Heart * Riku awakes Sora's heart * Did Riku also wake up Ven's heart??

I just realiyed the whole problem is that the main theory: 1 somebody = 1 body, 1 heart, 1 soul does not hold at all. Sora in KH1 has all three + ven''s heart then gets Kairi's heart and therefore has 3 hearts, 1 body 1 soul and Kairi 0 hearts 1 body 1 soul. But she doesn't fade into darkness. Then when sora releases both hearts, he also releases Ven's heart. But with Namine and Roxas created we have Sora=1 heart, 1 soul, 1body; and Kairi 1 of each but Roxas and Namine have bodies and minds each but Roxas also has a heart, namely Ven's. Therefore when they merge again and even if Ven is reawakened we have Sora= 1 Heart, 1 Body, 1 Soul/Mind Kairi = 1 Heart, 1 Body, 1 Soul/Mind Ven = 1 Heart, 1 Body, 1 Soul/Mind But What becomes of Roxas' 1 Mind and 1 Body? And Namine's 1 Mind and 1 Body?? And If 1 Heart gives the power to wield 1 Keyblade and Sora gained the ability to wield 2 keyblades in KH2 because he merghed with Roxas and Ven's heart, WHY didn't he have this power in KH1 already, what role do his magical clothes play and WHY can Roxas wield 2 keyblades after merging with Xion?? (Nomura stated something like this in an interview_?) So IF we assume that Roxas gained Xion's Heart when merging with her and then is able to wield 2 blades, we have to assume he didn'T grow a heart because he had Ven's. But This would leave him with NO heart at all as the only true nobody besides Namine. But IF he grew his own heart, he had 3 hearts, so why didn't he use 3 keyblades against Riku and why does he give 1 blade to riku after all if he wants to win the fight?? My new conclusion: Nomura ruined the series even after KH2; Days makes less sense and BbS is OK. Coded is sperfluous and DDD is the worst nonsense I've ever seen cuz it exploits those flaws of Days and BbS. Without DDD one could overlook or ignore the flaws but DDD makes the mistake of rewriting everything and screwing everything up! And due to DDD Kingdom Hearts (as a series) only makes sense if you Play KH1, CoM, KH2 and BbS in this order and then stop. Days as standalone non-canon title is OK as is Coded. But DDD Is bad in every way.

Yes, exactly! But you don'T get what I mean: Truth 1: Roxas has Ven's heart, Xion does not just like all other nobodies. Hence, Sora has 2 now. But Nomura introduced a new law in DDD which says each nobody has a heart because a Nobody's heart replaces the heart it lost by growing a new one. (look on youtube- sora is upset becasue Xemnas lied to his "friends" by telling them they didn't have a heart, but they had hearts) But this NEW truth contradicts the old one which made sense. The new one would be fine ONLY IF the old one had never existed! I am upset cuz Nomura changes his mind and wants nobody's to grow their own hearts but this contradicts his idea he had a few years ago. This guy is going crazy with all his new ideas and he constantly shits on his old ideas. YES: Roxas has Ven's heart, Xion and Axel do not. Lea has a heart but not Axel, therefore only Roxas could cry! BUT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJR6tnN6g9A&index=152&list=PLhcSrKyqhfh65KdZulRZNEEaADPxlkVy3 Here Xemnas tells Sora that Nobodies grew their own hearts!! And therefore we can choose 1) Nomura theory 1 was a lie and roxas does not have ven's heart but grew his own like axel and xion BUT: Roxas is a special nobody that looks different than sora hence this cannot be true (and yet DDD insists on this being true) 2) Nomura theory 2 is a lie and Xemnas is lying to sora about nobodies growing their own hearts BUT: WHY ON EARTH include this crap if it ain'T true??? 3) BOTH are true which gives us the shitty solution of Sora regained his own heart, Roxas has Ven's heart and therefore looks like him, he grew his own heart and therefore has 2 hearts at once, Xion grew her own and when merging with sora and roxas this gives Sora 4 Hearts!!! PREDICTING Nomura wants to bring back Xion and Roxas as their own persons in KHIII this is now possible by releasing the 3 superfluous hearts inside sora to revive Ven, Xion and Roxas. HOWEVER: Nomura didn't think this through because íf Axel grew his own heart this leaves LEa stuck with 2 hearts and noone to give it to. So either Xemnas lied or Nomura got caught up in his own web of ever-changing laws of the heart. If you ask me he didn't remember what he said about Roxas in the past and he was just eager to split Roxas and Xion and Ven as own persons and this solution came in handy. BUT he didn'T think about 2-hearted LEA!!! IN SUM: DDD IS A CRAPPY GAME THAT IS THE RUSHED GAME IT FEELS LIKE! The story does not make any sense and its contributions to the whole saga are either lies that want to destract sora or they destroy the whole credibility of the whole series.

Yes, exactly. But according to DDD, All Nobodys grew their own hearts in addition, so Roxas has 2 hearts, after absorbing Xion 3 and when merging with sora 4. This is what I hate about Nomura: Roxas Theory changed with each game: KHII: Roxas does not have a heart. Days: Roxas has a heart. BbS: Roxas has Ven's heart (and hence looks like him) up to this point everything even makes sense. but then: DDD: Roxas has his own heart. WAT??? This states that KHII, Days AND BbS were Bullshit. And those games were way better than DDD, so why should DDD have the power to overthrow the storylines of ALL previeous games and state everything we know and all nlaws of nature from the previous games are wrong. C'mon, Nomura, if you change your mind ever so often that's OK. But you can't change what's already been proven. If you want to overhaul the whole KH series you better start by creating a new KH1 and KH2 that fit your new theories but don't expect me to play those shitty games then.

Thats the point: sora had ventus' heart and when he returned from being a heartless he regained his own heart. THIS is the reason why roxas didn't get distroyed (Data DiZ in DDD did contradict this) and Therefore Roxas HAD a heart, Ven's. And he did also look like Ven because of his heart. Therefore Roxas HAD a heart, all the others didn't.DDD contradicts ALL the facts we ever knew were true and therefore Roxas should have 3 hearts (His newly grown, Xion's and Ven's which makes Sora have 4!!!!!) just plain stupidity!IF Sora has 4 hearts can he wield 4 Keyblades at once??And how can Roxas wield only 2 if he has 3?So this fact exploits Nomura's inconsistency from Days who can wield how many keyblades and why and makes it even worse.And the worst thing is that in DDD Nomura makes every little breath of any character seem important for the destinies of tons of other characters. Xehanort isn't almighty and destiny isn't so inconsistent

To be honest, your quote just made me forget KHIII completely. By now, I'm all like "enjoy 1.5, look forward to KH2.5 and finsih it off with KH2's perfect happy end" I don't want to wait decades for XV to finsih and KHIII to come and I don't want to be disappointed anymore. Trashing DDD after the second replay was the right decision, cuz it belongs there. So I'll go with it indeed, play 1.5 and 2.5 all over and forget about all that comes after it. Yeah, the Nomura who COULD release FFXV in 10 years right? I wouldn't wonder if they never even finfished either of those game. Besides that, I hated leveling up sora as well as riku, hard bosses that constantly attacked I could't even move, flowmotion was unrealistic and spoiled the game, dreameaters were annoying pokemon like creatures that were a pest to llevel up too and most of all I HATED I had to keep those dreameaters to gain abilities Yeah, so he can make KH even worse. As he like XV so much maybe he can pull it as an intro to FF XVI where the protagonist wakes up from a dream that reveals KH is just a fairy tale in the FF world IF Keyhole NR 1 is on destiny islands, then unlocking it AFTER KH2 makes sure the islands are restored AFTER KH1! And according to Xehanort, the destined past cannot be changed! So if Destiny islands were sleeping after KH1, Sora couldn't depart from THERE to Yen who sends him back IN TIME to restore the isalnds before they are even swallowed by darkness, huh? And if the islands are restore, why even go back to them and risk the past (which couldn't bechanged anyway) being chnaged. And if Yen sid is so powerful to chnage present, past, future and laws of time and space at once, why doesn't he just go kcik Xehanort's ass himself (cuz according to thsi Xehanort's restrictions do not apply to him which makes him 1000times more powerful than the already almighty god xehanort) DDD does NOT make ANY sense from the FIRST to the LAST second and this is the sign someone didn't do a good job. This plotline does not make sense - even to Nomura himself. Accept it, even Nomura makes mistakes. Only, most companies fire people after making too many and replace them by people who do a better job. That's business economics.

Thinking logically, KHIII WILL be bad if those "lost" characters come back. Xion won't be the afflicted anymore. Roxas won't be the sad sincere kid anymore. Ventus AND Roxas in the same picture doesn't go well. Too many Xehanorts neither. Too confusing, Completely unacceptable for new fans to the series. Too many characters whose purposes and characters will be lost and all will be those blank, "saved" characters. After all, don't you think 10+ main characters in one game is too much!? Besides, even though they say it will, KHIII won't be that big (XV's aftermath and money and time shortages will see to that), and too many characters cannot get enough development on screen each. Lastly, they could only handle this by adding DDD-like multi character gaming. And this WON'T Work. KHIII should be like KH1 and 2. A CHRONOLOGICAL (15y.o.) SORA IS THE MAIN CHARACTER. Multis would crush game system, leveling up system and finally the story!

And even when KHIII comes in 2057, Sora might even be Xehanort's wive who gave birth to the worlds' populations of Xehanorts cuz #NJomura decided that EVERYONE is Xehanort (and I even seee DIsney allow this shit) - While noone remembers who Sora, Kairi, Riku, Aqua, Ventus, Terra, Roxas, Xion and Namine were.
