In the Frozen trailer, we see Aqua revealed to have silver hair and yellow eyes. It appears that she has become a Xehanort, but if she is (I still think that there is a possibility that she isn't), then that means that Terra is no longer a Xehanort. At the end of Dream Drop Distance, we see that all of the Xehanorts have already been chosen except for one. Sora was supposed to be the thirteenth Xehanort, but he was rescued at the last moment, which means that, at the beginning of Kingdom Hearts III, Xehanort still needs one more vessel. I don't think that Xehanort found his thirteenth vessel between Dream Drop Distance and Kingdom Hearts III due to the dialogue that he been revealed in the trailers so far, especially in the E3 Showcase trailer when Xemnas tells Sora, "Nothing would please us more than Roxas' return, of course." However, I do not believe that Aqua is the thirteenth vessel. In the E3 showcase trailer, we see Riku and King Mickey return, which means that they must have finished their mission in the Realm of Darkness. In this scene, Sora is still wearing his Kingdom Hearts II outfit, which means that this scene must take place before he gets his new Kingdom Hearts III outfit. However, when Xemnas tells Sora that nothing would please them more than Roxas' return, he is wearing his new Kingdom Hearts III outfit, which must mean that, if Aqua is a Xehanort, she already became a Xehanort by the end of Dream Drop Distance and was sitting on a throne in Where Nothing Gathers with the other Xehanorts. If this is true, then Terra can no longer be a Xehanort. After King Mickey lists off all of the Keyblade wielders he knows (himself, Sora, Riku, Terra, Aqua, and Ventus), Master Xehanort says to him, "But Sora and another on your list belong to me now." Master Xehanort claims that, in addition to Sora, one of the other Keyblade wielders on King Mickey's list is a Xehanort. This person obviously isn't Riku or King Mickey, so they have to be one of the Birth by Sleep trio. I always assumed that he was talking about Terra, but what if he wasn't? What if he was actually talking about Aqua. After all, even though he proudly announced earlier in this scene that Terra became his new vessel back in Birth by Sleep ("...and the feckless youth who became my new vessel"), he didn't say, "Sora and Terra belong to me now." He was a lot more vague with who the other person was. Why would he be vague if the other person was Terra? So, if only one person from the Birth by Sleep trio is a Xehanort, and if that person is Aqua, then Terra can no longer be a Xehanort. However, in addition to Master Xehanort not revealing who the other Keyblade wielder, in addition to Sora, from King Mickey's list is, there is something else in this scene that seems to hint at the possibility that Terra is no longer a Xehanort. When Ansem and Xemnas were destroyed, Terra-Xehanort should have returned. After all, it was Terra-Xehanort that willingly gave up his heart and became a Heartless and a Nobody. However, we do not see Terra-Xehanort return, but Master Xehanort. From what I can gather, there are two explanations for this. Either Terra-Xehanort only gave up Master Xehanort's heart and not Terra's heart, which meant that Terra's heart was set free, or Terra finally found a way to break free of Master Xehanort's control. Either way, the end result is the same: Terra is free of Master Xehanort. However, if this true, then where has Terra been all this time? Maybe, like when Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, banished Riku's heart to the Realm of Darkness in Kingdom Hearts 1, Terra is trapped in the Realm of Darkness. Maybe, if Aqua is a Xehanort, Terra shows up to save Riku and King Mickey from her in the Realm of Darkness. Maybe what started off as a mission to save Aqua from the Realm of Darkness ended with Riku and King Mickey saving Terra from the Realm of Darkness. Maybe, at the end of the scene in the E3 Showcase trailer where Riku and King Mickey return, we see Terra enter the room with them instead of Aqua. I guess we will have to wait and see.

I appreciate that Square-Enix was willing to reveal more. They didn't have to have more than one trailer, but they did. They didn't show a whole lot of new stuff in this trailer, but they did show some new stuff, and the new stuff that they did show got me even more excited. So, I am happy with the new trailer.

I completely understand people not wanting a Star Wars or Marvel world in the Kingdom Hearts series. I personally am fine with seeing them in future games as long as they do not appear in Kingdom Hearts III since I would prefer the Dark Seeker Saga to stick with movies made by Disney and Pixar (since Pixar is as close to being Disney as you can get without actually being Disney). However, now that they are owned by Disney, Square-Enix is able to put them in future Kingdom Hearts games. Star Wars and Marvel have already appeared in Disney Infinity, the Disney Parks, and Disney TV shows, and now we know that they will be appearing in an actual Disney movie: Ralph Breaks the Internet. We can have discussions about whether or not it is a good idea, but the fact is, Square-Enix can do it.

The worlds that I am expecting to see are: 1. Frozen With how successful the movie has been and with how close Disney has been working with Square-Enix on this game compared to the other games, how could this world not appear in Kingdom Hearts III? 2. The Jungle Book I'm pretty sure that Birth by Sleep was not the first time that Square-Enix tried to put The Jungle Book into a Kingdom Hearts game. If I remember correctly, they also tried to put it into Kingdom Hearts 1 but ended up turning it into Deep Jungle (please let me know if I am wrong). Regardless, they obviously have tried to make this movie a world in the past, so I think that it has a high chance of making it into Kingdom Hearts III. 3. Treasure Planet This is the only movie that Roy Conli produced (other than Born in China, which I doubt would make it into a Kingdom Hearts game) that hasn't been turned into a world for a Kingdom Hearts game. He co-produced The Hunchback of Notre Dame, which was a world in Dream Drop Distance, and both Tangled and Big Hero 6 are becoming worlds in Kingdom Hearts III (he also produced the "short" Olaf's Frozen Adventure, which might mean that Frozen is even more guaranteed to become a world in Kingdom Hearts III). In fact, we were shown that he is working very closely with Square-Enix on this. So, why not also include a Treasure Planet world in Kingdom Hearts III? Unfortunately, even though I would love to see this world, I do not think that we will see a Wreck-It Ralph world in Kingdom Hearts III. In a recent interview with Famitsu, when he was asked if there are any new worlds he wants to add in Union χ[Cross], Nomura said, "There are plans to add a world that will not appear in Kingdom Hearts III. The main point is that this character will appear as a summon. However, this character hasn’t been introduced yet, so I think right now you won’t understand. From now on, pay attention to future Kingdom Hearts III trailers and you might get it." Not too long after that, the gameplay footage from the Kingdom Hearts III Premiere demos was released, and we found out that Wreck-It Ralph would be a summon. So, unfortunately (unless another summon is revealed in the near future who is from a Disney movie that has not been made into a Kingdom Hearts world yet), I don't think that Wreck-It Ralph will be a world in Kingdom Hearts III, which is unfortunate because I can imagine the Cy-Bugs devouring Heartless and becoming Cy-Bug/Heartless hybrids, playing Fix-It Felix, Jr., Hero's Duty, and Sugar Rush as minigames, and, of course, the King Candy boss level. However, maybe we will still see some of those things happen since it sounds like it will be a world in Union χ[Cross].

I don't necessarily need to see any non-Disney worlds be revealed, and truth be told, I never really cared all that much about the non-Disney worlds since I was always more excited to see what the Disney worlds were. However, I do really like the Keyblade Graveyard (my favorite Kingdom Hearts world), Hallow Bastion (the Kingdom Hearts 1 version), The World That Never Was, and End of the World. I do think that it would be cool to see the town in Destiny Islands and actually get to explore it. Also, I think that Castle Oblivion will be a later world too. I think that Riku and King Mickey are going to successfully save Aqua and, once they return to the realm of light, find out where Ventus is located from her. But then the question becomes: will Ventus still be there, or will the seekers of darkness have successfully found him and turned him into Master Xehanort's vessel? I think that Ventus will be a guardian of light, but it is definitely a possibility that he will become a seeker of darkness.

We might, but we might not. It all depends on what story they want to tell. For example, since the Monsters, Inc. world takes place after the events of the movie, there is a possibility that we won't get a Randall boss fight, but maybe part of this new story is that Randall has returned and is out for revenge or something like that. After all, he only got stuck in the human world, and as the movie pointed out, all you have to do is find another door that is connected back to the monster world in order to return to it. We not only see this happen when Mike and Sulley return from banishment, but we also see this happen multiple times in a row while they are getting chased by Randall through the door vault. The original stories could also give us Disney bosses that we couldn't have gotten otherwise. For example, if all of the worlds were following the events of the movies, the only way we would be able to get a boss fight against Zurg in the Toy Story world would be if the events of Toy Story 2 were being followed, but since this is the first time a Toy Story world has appeared, it probably would follow the events of the first movie in which Zurg did not appear. However, now that it is an original story, we could get a Zurg boss fight. So, in the end, it all depends on what kind of story they want to tell.

I love the part right at the end where they talk about whether it should be "Ralph Wrecks the Internet" or "Ralph Breaks the Internet". Not only is this something that I'm sure went through everyone's head (it sure went through mine), but I bet Disney had a long discussion about it when they were coming up with the title. I wouldn't be surprised at all if that part was basically how the conversation about the title went at Disney.

Back when 358/2 Days, Birth by Sleep, and coded had only just been announced, I came up with an idea for my own Kingdom Hearts game. At first, it was a Kingdom Hearts game in name only, as I had basically just made my own game and made Sora, Donald, and Goofy the main characters. Later, I would keep the basic concept of my game idea, but change everything else (I would later use the villains that I originally came up with for the game in a different game idea that I came up with later). The basic concept was this: Sora, Donald, and Goofy get trapped in the Dream World and need to find a way out. Later, Dream Drop Distance would become a thing, and, since both Dream Drop Distance and my game idea were about dreams, I would jokingly say that Square-Enix looked into my mind and stole my idea (even though Dream Drop Distance and my idea were almost nothing alike). I recently remembered my Kingdom Hearts game idea and felt like sharing it. Here is a summary of my Kingdom Hearts game idea: Sora had been having the same dream for a while now. In it, he fought a hooded figure. Because of this dream, he had many a restless night. Then one day, King Mickey summoned Sora to Disney Castle, which was being attacked by Heartless, but how? Disney Castle was supposed to be protected. Sora showed up to help defeat the Heartless and even defeated a Heartless which was the so-called "Heartless King". Sora agreed to stay until King Mickey figured out what was going on. That night, Sora, Donald, and Goofy were laying in the courtyard and looking up at the stars. They saw a shooting star, which they eventually realized was heading right for them, but by the time they realized this, it was too late. The shooting star hit the spot where they lay, and when it vanished, they had vanished with it. Sora, Donald, and Goofy appeared in a strange castle, where they were greeted by the hooded figure who had been fighting Sora in his dreams. The hooded figure revealed himself to be Dream Sora. He had been fighting Sora in order to see if he was up to the task that he was about to assign him. What had just hit them had not been a shooting star, but a spell that was meant to summon Sora to this place (Donald and Goofy just got caught in the spell with Sora), and this place was the Dream World. From the castle that they were currently in, they could access anyone's dreams. However, the Heartless had found a way into the Dream World and were now entering everyone's dreams. If they were not stopped, everyone's dream would be lost to the darkness, which would then consume the actual people dreaming as well. Sora had to enter every dream that the Heartless had managed to enter and lock the dreams. Dream Sora couldn't stop the Heartless because, in order to lock the dreams, a Keyblade from the real world was needed. And so, Sora, Donald, and Goofy traveled into every dream and, by helping everyone achieve their dreams, caused the dreams' Keyholes to appear and locked them. Once he had locked every dream, however, Dream Sora revealed that he was actually Sora's Heartless. He lived on in Sora's dreams and eventually became a nightmare that haunted him. The real reason that Sora's Heartless had been fighting Sora was to prove that he was strong enough to exist in the real world (which was how the Heartless King invaded Disney Castle because King Mickey's nightmare of the Heartless invading became so powerful that it became real). However, he was never able to defeat Sora in his dreams, and so, he decided to escape the Dream World in another way. Once a dream was completed, the dream's Keyhole appeared, but what made the Keyhole appear was a memorable object that was important to the person dreaming in one way or another. Because the memorable object was important in the Dream World and in the real world, it served as a link between the two worlds. However, in order to fully form a way out, Sora's Heartless needed seven memorable objects. He had already collected six that Sora had unintentionally helped him get, but the seventh one that he was after was Kairi's good luck charm, which Sora was still carrying. Since it was from the real world, it would be an even better memorable object than any of the ones found in the Dream World (at least, that's what Sora's Heartless thought). Sora tried to stop his Heartless from taking it, but he couldn't, and he successfully created a door to the real world. And so, after a duel with a nightmare version of Riku that Sora's Heartless summoned to distract Sora, Sora unlocked the door and followed Sora's Heartless through the door. Sora found himself on the edge of the Dream World, where his Heartless revealed that he had tricked him yet again. His Heartless had made it seem as though he had gone through the door, but he hadn't. He still needed a real world Keyblade to unlock the door to the real world. Now, all he needed to do was take a few more steps to freedom, but Sora was not going to let him do that. After several battles, Sora was victorious and defeated his Heartless for good. Then, Sora, Donald, and Goofy entered back into the real world. After telling King Mickey everything, it was time for Sora to head home. Mickey, Donald, and Goofy said goodbye to him by wishing him sweet dreams, and now that his Heartless was gone for good, Sora would finally have sweet dreams again. And that's my Kingdom Hearts game idea. If you guys want to, you can let me know what you think of it. I am still new to writing fanfiction, even though I originally wrote this a while ago, so I am open to any advice that you guys might want to give me.

I realize that Nomura did not have anything planned for the future. However, he has been trying so hard to make everything fit together and make sense (he even explained why King Mickey is shirtless at the end of the first game in 0.2) that I was trying to make Ansem make sense. He managed to make Xemnas' actions make sense. In Dream Drop Distance, Xigbar explained to Sora, "Xemnas and Xehanort formed the Organization for a specific reason--round up a bunch of empty husks, hook them up to Kingdom Hearts, then fill them all with the exact same heart and mind. Translation--they were gonna turn all the members into Xehanort." That would explain why Xemnas was still interested in gathering hearts to form his artificial Kingdom Hearts of People. He told the Organization that Kingdom Hearts would make them finally exist, but what he did not tell them was that the heart that he was going to give them was Xehanort's. The reason why he wanted Xion was as a failsafe in case Roxas and Sora proved to be useless to his plans. So, Nomura has managed to make Xemnas' actions make sense in the current story, but he hasn't really explained Ansem's. He still acknowledges what Ansem did. In Dream Drop Distance, it says in the chronicle for the first game, "Ansem was trying to complete the Keyhole to a doorway that led to the heart of all worlds: 'Kingdom Hearts.'" Also, Ansem's journal entry in Dream Drop Distance says, "He tried to open the door to Kingdom Hearts, but fell to Sora in the end." So, Nomura definitely didn't retcon what he did (except for maybe trying to kill Kairi, since the chronicle skips over that whole scene), he just isn't really explaining why he was trying to open the door to Kingdom Hearts. So, I am going to assume that it is still canon that Ansem wanted to "draw out the great darkness of Kingdom Hearts", as Ansem the Wise says in Secret Ansem's Report 13. And if that is still canon, then, as I stated in my original post, maybe he was just trying to accomplish Master Xehanort's plan in another way. That is a good point. I hadn't thought of that. However, after Ansem said that to Braig, he did still do what Master Xehanort wanted him to do by traveling back in time to send Young Xehanort on his mission, and Xehanort did say that he, Xehanort, used the evil fairy to find seven pure lights for him, just as he, Xehanort, prepared thirteen vessels to fill with pure darkness. He seemed to imply with that statement that he was in control of Ansem and Xemnas, which makes sense since they are his Heartless and Nobody. However, I suppose that Ansem could have become more and more of his own person over time.

We all know what Master Xehanort's plan is, to start another Keyblade War so that the World can be recreated as a World that has a perfect balance of light and darkness, as he says in his reports in Birth by Sleep: "Someone must tear down this tyranny of light and reorganize the World around the darkness which then creeps back in." (Xehanort's Report VIII) “If I become the first to open Kingdom Hearts' door, I can create a Next World in which light and darkness exist in perfect equilibrium.” (Xehanort’s Report IX) We also find out in Dream Drop Distance that everything has happened according to Master Xehanort's plan: "Yes. They were all my doing. I used the evil fairy to find seven pure lights for me, just as I prepared thirteen vessels to fill with pure darkness." (Master Xehanort to King Mickey in Where Nothing Gathers) We know that Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, and Xemnas were both carrying out Master Xehanort's plan, so how come, after Ansem travelled back in time to pass on the ability to time travel to Young Xehanort and give him the mission to find other versions of Master Xehanort from throughout time to make up the thirteen seekers of darkness, he tried to do his own thing that had seemingly nothing to do with Master Xehanort's plan? In fact, he straight up tried to kill Kairi after the Final Keyhole was completed, saying to her, "The Keyhole is now complete. You have served your purpose. But now it's over." My guess is that him trying to kill Kairi shouldn't be looked at too seriously because Nomura probably didn't know what he was going to do in future games yet. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have had Ansem try to kill Kairi. Either that or Ansem thought that he could complete Master Xehanort's plan without starting another Keyblade War, which brings me to how I think Ansem's actions actually do make sense. Master Xehanort wants the World to be consumed by darkness in order to "tear down this tyranny of light". Then, after setting foot on Kingdom Hearts, he will gain the ability to create the Next World which he will build "around the darkness which then creeps back in". What if Ansem thought that he already had the ability to do this without starting another Keyblade War? As Ansem the Wise said in Secret Ansem’s Report 13, “His Heartless had attempted to draw out the great darkness of Kingdom Hearts, created from the hearts of all worlds.” Maybe Ansem was trying to have the darkness on the other side of the Door to Darkness consume the World, and then enter the artificial Kingdom Hearts of Worlds to gain the power to create the Next World. If he could do this, there would be no need for the Princesses of Heart after they opened the way to his artifical Kingdom Hearts. He could kill Kairi if he wanted to. However, his plan failed, and so, in the end, he ended up having to go with Master Xehanort's plan to start another Keyblade War in order to fulfill Master Xehanort's wishes to create a World in which light and darkness are in perfect balance. Or, maybe Nomura has no real reason why Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, did this. Who knows?

I am personally not an online multiplayer person, but I also personally don't care if they have a multiplayer mode or not. Something like that won't make me like the game any less, in fact, depending on how they handle it, I might enjoy the game more because of it. I hope that if they do add a multiplayer mode that it will be something extra that is not necessary to 100% the game.

I would want to preview the Toy Story world because Toy Story is my favorite movie and I am excited to see more of what the world is like and what the story is like.

I think if they want to do something like that, they could do what they did with the Mirage Arena in the PSP version of Birth by Sleep and have a versus mode. Maybe they could update it by letting you unlock and choose any Kingdom Hearts character you want for that mode, like how there was a mode where you could choose any character you wanted to complete missions in the DS version of 358/2 Days.

I know that it is a post-credits scene. Sorry, I didn't make that very clear when I just said "ending". I was just saying that if there is a secret ending, I would like it to be like the post-credits scene in Kingdom Hearts II. I understand what you're saying. I definitely won't be upset if we get hints toward the next game in some way. Something like that won't change how I feel about the game. It's just wishful thinking on my part is all.

Good video! I think you bring up some interesting things to think about. As far as what I think, and this might sound strange, but I don't want there to be any secrets that tease the next Kingdom Hearts game in Kingdom Hearts III. I want to Kingdom Hearts III to feel like a complete ending to the Dark Seeker Saga with no unanswered questions (which, knowing Nomura, is already just wishful thinking), and if there are secret bosses and/or secret endings that tease the next game, I feel like that will take away from Kingdom Hearts III. Don't get me wrong, I don't want there to be no secret bosses or endings at all. There can still be secret bosses and secret endings, as long as they don't hint toward the future in any significant way. For example, if there was a secret ending similar to the ending of Kingdom Hearts II, where we see Sora, Riku, and Kairi reading a letter from King Mickey, I would be fine with that, because it's hinting at possible future adventures without hinting at what those possible future adventures will be. So, if the Master of Masters is in Kingdom Hearts III, I don't want him to appear as a secret boss or in a secret ending. I also don't want the Master of Masters to be the true final boss or anything like that, because I feel like that would take away from Xehanort. Since Xehanort is the one who has been built up to be the main villain this whole time, I would like him to remain the main villain, which also means that I don't want him to be a vessel for the Master of Masters either. Now, it might sound like I don't want the Master of Masters to appear at all, but that's not the case. I would be just fine with him appearing in Kingdom Hearts III in some way. I just don't want him to be the true main villain or a secret hint toward the future of the series.

I personally think that Killmonger is a little overrated. Don't get me wrong, I think that he's one of the best Marvel villains so far, but I don't think that he deserves some of the praise that he's been getting, especially since some people have said that he's on par with Heath Ledger's Joker, which I personally don't agree with because I don't think that he even comes close to that level. If I were to rank the best Marvel villains so far, I would rank them: #1 Loki, #2 Vulture, #3 Ego, and #4 Killmonger. It's a little bit of a tossup for me between Ego and Killmonger for #3, but that's where I put them for now. After that, I don't think that any of the other Marvel villains so far have been all that great. But all of this is just my opinion.

In Soraalam1's most recent trailer analysis for Kingdom Hearts III, he pointed out that each Organization member that has been revealed so far fits the world that they appear in: 1. Young Xehanort, who is Master Xehanort in his youth, appears in the Toy Story world, a world following the adventures of children's toys. 2. Marluxia, who is closely associated with cherry blossom petals, appears in the Tangled world, a world which has a heavy focus on a magical golden flower. 3. Vanitas, who's fledgling emotions creates the Unversed, appears in the Monsters, Inc. world, a world which is powered by the emotions of children. We also know that Ansem and Xemnas appear in Twilight Town. I am not quite sure what the connection is there, but I'm sure that there is one. And all of this led me to think: What worlds could the other known Organization members appear in? Here are my guesses: 1. Master Xehanort could appear at the end of the game in the Keyblade Graveyard. I doubt that he will appear in a world before this one, but if he does, I don't think that he will be the Organization member of that world. 2. Braig could appear in a Jungle Book world because his laid-back personality fits with Baloo's laid-back personality. 3. Isa is a tough one, but I am thinking that he could either appear in the Big Hero 6 world or in a Zootopia world. The Big Hero 6 world could work with him being the one who corrupted the original Baymax with darkness. The Zootopia world makes sense to me because the plot revolves around a mystery of animals going savage, and Isa did go berserk during his boss fight when he was Saix. I also wondered if I can make guesses as to what other worlds would appear and who would be the Organization members of those worlds. Here are my guesses: 1. I believe that Terra will be one of the Organization members, and I think that the world that he will appear in will be Castle Oblivion. This will fit for two reasons. The first is that he, as Terra-Xehanort, lost his memory after his battle with Aqua, which fits with Castle Oblivion association with memories. The second is that he has close connections to this world, both because it used to be his homeworld, the Land of Departure, and also because Ventus, who is one of his close friends, is being kept safe there in the Chamber of Waking. 2. I think that there is a strong possibility that a Treasure Planet world will appear in the game, and I think that Luxord will appear in that world because of his association with pirates in Kingdom Hearts II. 3. I think that Frozen will most likely appear in the game, and I think that Larxene will appear in that world because of how cold she is. These are the guesses that I am most confident about. Any other guesses I make will be made with much less confidence, as there will not be much I can back up my guesses with. So, I will leave it at that. But what do you guys think? What Organization members along with the worlds they are most likely to appear in do you think we will see in Kingdom Hearts III?

Super Mario 64 is one of the first videogames I ever remember playing. I played it at a friends house and we basically just slid down the ice slide the entire time. Because of that, it will always hold a special place in my heart. Plus, I think that it is the best Mario game ever made.

Personally, my favorite villain in Kingdom Hearts in Ansem, Seeker of Darkness. He has my personal favorite design of all of the villains in the series, he has my favorite boss fight in the entire series (the final boss fight of KH1), and I just really like everything he does as a villain. Don't get me wrong, I think that there a lot of other villains in the series who are better than him (I actually think that Xemnas is the best villain in the series). However, best and favorite are not always the same thing, and Ansem is still my favorite.

I think that, of the options, Timon & Pumbaa are the ones I would want to see the most. However, I really like the idea of the 101 Dalmatians being a Link. I would love to see them just flood the screen and take out everyone in their path! It's one of those things that I never knew I wanted until the idea was put out there.

You do bring up a good point. A broken Keyblade is worthless. However, why would they include this line in the trailer if it was just meant to be a metaphor? It is the note that the trailer ends on, which would mean that it was deliberately put there for a reason. And usually, the last scene and/or line in a trailer is meant to make you excited and/or shocked. If it is just a metaphor, why include it? All we would have needed to see was Riku's broken Keyblade and him sticking it in the sand, so, there must be a greater meaning to this, right?

I like the idea of Riku leaving his broken Keyblade on the shore being metaphorical. However, it seems unlikely to me. Why would they include that line as the last line of the trailer (with no context) if it was just a metaphorical line? They also show King Mickey become surprised by Riku saying this, drawing even more attention to the line, which makes me think even more that there is more to the line than a metaphor. True, we could get a short scene of Riku explaining to King Mickey that it was just a metaphor, but why cut that out of the trailer and leave us on that note unless it means something more? And if we find out in the game that it is just a metaphor, I feel like that will leave so many fans feeling disappointed, because they would have built it up to be something bigger in their heads. I just can't come up with a good reason to include this specific line in the trailer unless it ties into the story in a big way. To quote Bruce Wayne from Batman Forever, "It just raises too many questions." I do still like the idea of it being metaphorical, though. And if it does turn out to be metaphorical, I will be just fine with that.

I didn't even know that they were different songs. I thought that one was just the English translation. They're both really good from what I've heard though. They're both probably going to make me cry.

At the end of the Kingdom Hearts III Theme Song Trailer, Riku leaves the now broken Way to the Dawn Keyblade on the shores of the Dark Margin in the Realm of Darkness. As he does so, he says, "Can't use this Keyblade anymore. Might as well leave it here...in case the other me needs it." Who is this "other me" Riku is talking about? The way I see it, there are three possibilities: 1. A Riku from the past - It is possible that, through the magic of time travel, the Riku from the first Kingdom Hearts game has become a member of the real Organization XIII. After all, Ansem did possess him for a while, and Riku did call the Riku in the Organization coat that he ran into inside Monstro in Dream Drop Distance his "dark side" and said, "I'm chasing me". However, I think that this is the least likely possibility. Riku did battle with the darkness in his heart and won, and because of that, Young Xehanort told him in Dream Drop Distance, "We originally had our sights set on you. But, you developed a certain...resistance to darkness." Plus, why would Riku be leaving his Keyblade behind for his dark side to use? 2. Data-Riku - This is the Riku from the data inside Jiminy's Journal who was chosen as the vessel for the memories inside the Journal to keep them safe from the Bugs. Why is he now in the real world? Who knows? Maybe he was chosen to be one of the seekers of darkness, or maybe he has come to aid the guardians of light. But if Riku is leaving his Keyblade behind for Data-Riku, then the latter seems more likely, since, as I already stated, it would seem pretty silly for Riku to leave a weapon behind for the enemy. 3. Riku Replica - While Riku did destroy Riku Replica during the events of Chain of Memories, it is possible that, through the magic of time travel, he has become of member of the real Organization XIII. I think that this is the most likely possibility, especially because I also think that there is more story to explore with Riku Replica about how he has his own heart, because the data version of Ansem the Wise told Riku in Dream Drop Distance, "When he [sora] sees the heart in something, it then becomes real." Sora definitely saw the heart in Riku Replica during the events of Chain of Memories. But the question remains, why would Riku be leaving his Keyblade behind for Riku Replica if he has indeed been brought back to be a seeker of darkness? All I can think of to answer that question is that maybe there will be a redemption story for Riku Replica. Maybe he will turn on the seekers of darkness and betray them. Other than that, I don't know, but I still think that Riku Replica is the most likely possibility. But those are just my thoughts. What do you guys think?

I think that there is a difference between "too many trailers" and "too much information". Many times, the two can be connected. However, in all of the trailers that have been released so far, I still have no idea what's going to happen in the game. Yes, we are finding out which worlds and characters will be appearing, as well as what parts of the worlds will look like and what a lot of the gameplay will be like, but that's about it. We still have no idea how this all connects to the overarching story. For me, the only time when I will think that we are getting too many trailers is when we start getting too much information in the trailers. So, because of that, it is my opinion that we are not getting too many trailers, and we never will as long as they don't reveal too much information.
