where did Nomura confirm all of this? to me introducing this idea of "parallel universe" is needed to make time travel make sense, here's why:YX says in 3D that time itself can't be changed so this means that since Ansem went interfering with the past he didn't arrive in the original time flow of KH (the only one truly existing) instead what happened is that from the moment he arrived he changed the past of a parallel universe, in this universe xehanort didn't leave destiny island and did never become the old MX because he left using his new time travel powers (and used them to arrive in the REAL present time)Here's why I think the scene of YX and Ansem meeting is set in a parallel universe, because if not that would mean Ansem managed to change the original flow of events (which as YX said is impossible)I'm not saying there have always been multiple universe in KH, I just think that whenever you go in the past you create a temporary parallel universe which is actually destroyed when you return to the present (in fact if you think about that, this scene I'm talk about has never happened in the original story of KH)Now, the thing you said about YX, that he can only go in the future unable to go back in time, is it just a theory of yours or did I missed it has been confirmed?

I'm not saying he kept his time travel abilities, what I'm saying it's that jus after he gave YX the abilities (loosing the ability to time travel of course) he just returned to his era just as in KH3D each xehanort vessel returned to his time, I'm not saying he time travelled to the present but that the KH universe laws brought him back to his proper timeand yes it is unnecessary because since he time travelled to the past he actually created a temporary parallel universe that is actually NOT the same the main KH story is set (this happened because you can't change past events) and in this parallel universe YX just disappears (because he goes to the present) so the whole alternative future is changed by this important event and this mean Ansem had no need to stay there, and btw if he really had to observe riku he could have done that in the normal time flow since he Ansem was "born" when riku was 6 (he had 9 years to observe him, until KH1 happened)and in conclusion I just realised that even IF the KH laws didn't bring him to the present, he could have just returned easily to his time being picked up by YX, that now possess time travel abilities and apparently has the power to pick-up xehanort versions in his travels trough time about this I think you can only go in the past in the KH universe because the future just isn't there, it has yet to be created so the only thing to do if you want to go in the future is simply wait and move ALONG with time, which naturally transforms the present in the past and trasforms the future in the presentI dint know if I am able to express this idea in a proper way, I'm probably making a post about this sooner or later...PS: if young xehanort could really go back and forth between past, present and future then KH3D would be pointless or even paradoxical since he could have directly gone to the point where xehanort will try to create the keyblade in KH3

I understand what you are referring to, however I interpret that "you can only move forward as per the laws of time" differently, to me it implicitly says that you can go whenever you want with time travel BUT if you arrive in the present you can't go further in the future because the future just isn't there yet, you have to wait for the present to become future (don't know if I managed to express this idea well)of course this is just a theory, but as I said it is so unnecessary that Ansem had to wait like 70 years in a parallel universe waiting to return to the present, I just think he returned to the present in the moment he gave up his powers (thus ending his time travel "adventure")

About this, I just don't think Ansem really had to wait 70 years to be "aligned" with the present again, it is jusy unnecessaryI think that when he gave the time travel powers to YX he simply returned to the present, it is just easier

for the Story I choose Sora's since it is CoM main story But for the gameplay definitely Riku, since it is easier and I definitely not like the horrible card gameplay CoM has

I'm not totally sure but if Kairi managed to live normally for a year evem if Namine was alive perhaps Sora could have coexisted with Roxas with the only "problem" of them sharing the same power (just like Xion and Roxas in days)for Vanitas "fake body" you might be right because if Sora got a new body because of Kairi's light maybe Vanitas god a brand new body because of Ven's darkness but as I said once a new body is created there's no difference between it and the original ones, so Vanitas new body is as real as Sora "fake body" and both are as real as any other person body

honestly I don't understand why you want to underline the difference between this "projected body" and the real body, to me there's little or no difference at all, if I want to create a statement to explain this situation I'd just say "in the KH universe in some particular circumstances a body is magically created for someone's heart to enter it and to let him be alive" however it is not clear what this circumstances are.also if you think about this, it is actually the heart that shapes the body, this means, for example , when Kairi restored Sora in KH1 giving him a "fake body" Sora's heart actually shapes this fake body and there's no pratical difference between his old one(Roxas body) and this new fake oneIn fact the only reason Sora had to fuse with Roxas was because of CoM events, IF CoM hadn't happened Sora could have normally continued to live his life in the fake body without the need to fuse with Roxas (with the only drawback of having half of his power)

maybe I'm just overthinking but look at this: http://www.google.it/search?q=Kingdom+hearts+2+dusk&prmd=isvn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi-j9uria3LAhWFXiwKHaEyD9oQ_AUIBygB&biw=360&bih=640#imgrc=bVs_vK7x-RgEDM%3Awe clearly see a zig zag mouth and the zipper around the face makes me think Dusks are SOMETHING inside a suit, and that SOMETHING is the Dusk true form, if I'm right I hope we see this in KH3that face is quite creepy btw [tension rising intensifies]

here's a theory I've made about this:if you look at the nobody enemies we fight in KH2 they seem to be a dark body in a suit (just look at Dusks) this made me think Xemnas has the power to shape them and to make different types of nobodies, each related to a particular org. member (Samurai and Roxaa for example).Basically I'm saying that we never saw the real form of a nobody (I suppose their true form is simply a dark humanoid creature btw,) and that Xemnas shapes them to make them more powerful, even because I don't think the nobody symbol(the inverted white heart) just magically appears on them, that is the "xehanort mark" and this makes me think their shape was artificially created by xemnas

I get it, Nomura logic XDbtw, thinking again about this he probably originally had 50% light 50% darkness, xehanort needed balance to create the (fake) X-blade

Thank you :)but so does this mean Ventus originally had a lot of darkness in his heart and few light, this would explain why Vanitas' heart was stronger at the beginning

heartless are made of darknessriku can shape darkness, he decided to copy Sora's silhouette and the keyblade silhouette to show him how much he was good at shaping darkness

hey Flaming Lea, I was thinking something about Vanitas, when Ven's heart was splitted Ven went in a coma and was saved by Sora, but why Vanitas didn't have the same problem, even his heart was incomplete how was he able to survive with his fragmented heart if his other half, Ventus was not?

in the journal his entry is in then 'heartless' section, and if you think about it a heartless isn't necessary the heartless of someone, in some conditions heartless can born from pure darkness, like in the RoD.riku in KH1 had the ability to summon and create heartless that's all

it is a pureblood heartless made of pure darkness, riku summoned the darkness and gave it Sora's shape and apparently he also gave it a "mind"

keyblade are linked to hearts, you need to have a heart to weild a keyblade, heartless and nobodies(not 100% sure about this one) don't have hearts so they can't

you mean "Nomura always finds a way to bring dead important people back" this is the right statement, but you can't deny the existence of death in the KH universe (in fact some of the Disney villain died during the story)

only Maleficent was able to return, but she's a special character so I don't think we can say there's no death in KH just because of her.In KH you normally die if you're struck down or because of old age, otherwise xehanort in BBS didn't need to possess TerraIn my opinion when you die in KH your heart normally goes to the real KH and stays there unable to come back, eraqus heart(or maybe only part of it) is now inside Terra, he would probably reappear briefly to say goodbye before disappearing forever

are you really sure they can talk? because if it's true I don't even know what to think about themhowever their aspect is very similar to that of the heartless and dark chirithy talks of them being swallowed by the darkness, normally when someone gets swallowed by the darkness he becomes a heartlesscould they be special intelligent heartless?

what do you actually mean?

if the translation is good I think those 3 creatures are just the heartless of 3 keyblade weilders (don't know if pureblood or emblem heartless)I believe the player and Skuld are shocked by this because the heartless they normally defeat are "illusion" created by the book of prophecy (I'm assuming they know about the book however) or maybe they are simply shocked because they didn't know humans can "become" heartless

for the story it is when Aqua is with Ansem in the RoD and they talk about Sora for the gameplay it is the final part of Xemnas last fight since he begins to shoot all those laser to Sora and Riku

okay no problem, however at this point I wonder if we actually understood each other point

Nomura just said he invented 3D story as he went he didn't say the idea of 13 vs 7 as the only way to get KH was invented at the same time of 3Das said, I don't know if you're wrong, you don't know if I'm wrong

you too have not proven much of what you're saying, but there's no problem I'm making assumption and you too.Personally I prefer to think the artificial KH were just ways to become more powerful not attempts to achieve immidetaly his ultimate goalagain the problem is lack of information
