  1. It was a difficult choice between Octopath Traveler II and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but in the end, I went with Octopath Traveler II. While I am excited to see where Final Fantasy VII Rebirth takes the story, especially since we are now treading in new waters with that game, I was not expecting to see a sequel to Octopath Traveler, which has become one of my favorite games due to its nostalgic art style and music that have both been updated for modern times, as well as its fun gameplay. Not only does the sequel have more of those things, but it also seems to address one of the major criticisms with the original game: that all eight of the main characters' stories were separate and didn't overlap with each other. It's for those reasons that Octopath Traveler II is my most anticipated Square-Enix game of 2023.

    I do have a question.  Why is Xehanort able to recall the Blue Robed figure's memories of Ephemer, Skuld and etc when he was never even there?  Is he like a replica of the Blue Robed figure or is like a Xion situation where she was able to pick up Riku's encounter with Zexion while in Castle Oblivion?

     

    I believe the game says that he has the ability to connect with the hearts of others and even become one with them. This is one of the reasons why the blue robed figure thinks that he is the child of destiny, because the child of destiny has this ability. I also think this is why he is able to sense the darkness in other people's hearts, whereas others don't seem to be able to notice the darkness unless it visibly manifests itself.

    I'm still confused.  Is Xehanort the ||SPOILER||How is the Blue Robe guy the protagonist from Union Cross?  I thought they decided to die and reincarnate into Xehanort, who happened to be a descendant of Ephemer.  We saw them die at the end of Union Cross.||/SPOILER/||

    You're right, we did see the Player die at the end of Union Cross, and Chirithy told them that they could be reborn. What then followed was a series of scenes focusing an Xehanort as an infant on Scala ad Caelum and growing up on Destiny Islands. This led everyone to believe that the Player was reborn as Xehanort. However, the game never said that the Player was reborn as Xehanort. We just assumed that they were based on what those scenes focused on. What the end of Dark Road does is clarify who the Player was reborn as: the blue robed figure (aka the Player from Missing Link), who we see watching over Xehanort in all of those scenes from the end of Union Cross.

    There are still some unanswered questions about the blue robed figure and Xehanort that will hopefully be revealed in the future. Nomura has said that a lot of questions will be answered in Missing Link, so we will have to wait and see if anything else is revealed during that game.


  4. You bring up a good point that I didn't consider. After reading in the recent Q&A with Nomura that Young Xehanort should have had his even younger appearance in Dream Drop Distance when we see the flashback of the brown robed figure approaching him, but they just weren't able to make another model for him, I assumed that Young Xehanort must have begun his mission to gather his other selves from throughout time in his even younger form. However, it completely slipped my mind that what this actually implies is that Young Xehanort did not start his time traveling mission until several years after the brown robed figure helped him leave Destiny Islands. That just leaves the question: when did he begin that mission? It had to have been sometime before his World Tour, since he tells the Master of Masters that he feels like he is destined to do this, hinting that its been etched into his heart by that point. However, when would he have gotten the mission and the ability to time travel from the brown robed figure? Could it have been right at the beginning of his World Tour? After all, he could have revisited Destiny Islands during his World Tour, so maybe that was one of the first worlds he visited, if not his first world. That's my best guess at least.

    Also, while it is possible that the blue robed figure could have mistaken Xehanort for the Child of Destiny when he really wasn't, there is one bit that gets me. We find out from old man Xehanort that the blue robed figure told him that he would be a dark vessel. What could that mean if Xehanort isn't the Child of Destiny? It could tie in to your theory that the Master of Masters wanted Xehanort to be the final vessel for the final true darkness, but if Xehanort isn't the Child of Destiny, does that mean that the actually Child of Destiny (most likely Sora) is fated for that?

    Finally, I'm not sure that the Master of Masters intended to make Xehanort a vessel for the final true darkness. From everything that Luxu has said about the foretold scapegoat, I think that Xehanort was just simply a prophesied Keyblade wielder who was devoted to the darkness and brought about another Keyblade War, which is what the Master of Masters and Luxu have been waiting for. But, as I previously said, I do think it's possible that the Child of Destiny is supposed to be the final dark vessel.

    You had some good thoughts and it got me thinking. Thanks!


  5. While the robed person actually being the Player was a cool reveal, I feel like it wasn't as shocking as Bragi being Luxu. I guess it was because, since the Player being reborn was a pretty recent revelation, finding out that they were reborn as the Player from Missing Link instead of as Xehanort didn't seem like a shocking twist, more like a clarification of who they were reborn as. Meanwhile, I wasn't expecting to see Luxu at all, so finding out that he was Bragi, especially after being led to believe that Bragi had been killed by Baldr, was quite the shocking reveal (even though I guess, in hindsight, I should have seen it coming since "Bragi" is just "Braig" with one letter moved around).


  6. Dark Road has come to an end, and with it, we got new revelations into what led Xehanort down his dark path to become a seeker of darkness. However, not everything was revealed and some questions remain. This was even brought up in a recent Q&A for Dark Road:

    Quote

    Question 7: Xehanort’s full descent into darkness wasn’t fully explained, was it?

    Nomura: There might’ve been some missing spots, but I believe I managed to depict the beginning of his entrance into the path of darkness really well.

    Therefore, knowing what we do know, I will attempt to put together a timeline of Xehanort's life together, starting with when he was born and ending with Birth by Sleep since I feel that after that the events of his life become pretty straightforward. During that time, I will point out when I believe Xehanort became the seeker of darkness.

     

    Xehanort was born in Scala ad Caelum but was raised on Destiny Islands because he was believed to be the child of destiny, a person who would be raised on Destiny Islands, eventually leave Destiny Islands and connect with many people's hearts, and prevent the foretold expiration of light during the fated clash between light and darkness. Xehanort learned all of this from his first mentor, the blue robed figure who raised him on Destiny Islands, in addition to learning that the child of destiny would also be a dark vessel.

    Xehanort's heart connected with the heart of the blue robed figure, allowing him to see worlds he'd never been to and friends he'd never met in his dreams. Xehanort longed to see those worlds and meet those friends.

    One day, the brown robed figure appeared (his Heartless from the future) and gave him a way to achieve these desires. First, he passed on his ability to travel through time to him and gave him the mission to assist his future self in achieving his goals. Upon returning to this time with the memories of what he just did lost, the brown robed figure opened a corridor of darkness for him, which allowed him to leave Destiny Islands and see other worlds.

    In the corridor of darkness, Xehanort recognizes that darkness can be mastered as if by instinct (this instinct being the future that was etched into his heart).

    Xehanort appeared at Scala ad Caelum (not knowing that this was the world on which he was born) where was raised to be a Keyblade wielder, along with 6 others, by Master Odin and formed a close friendship with Eraqus.

    When Master Odin tasked Xehanort and his other friends (with the exception of Baldr) to find their missing upperclassmen, Xehanort began to realize that things weren't as black and white as they were initially taught since they discovered that darkness was at times necessary to maintaining the world order.

    Xehanort and his friends discovered that some of their upperclassmen were lost to darkness and that the remaining ones were attempting to upset the world order in order to bring out seven pure lights in an attempt to summon Kingdom Hearts, which they believed would defeat true darkness (Xehanort's friend Vor left them to help the upperclassmen achieve this goal in her pursuits to become a Keyblade Master). Master Odin further tells them that it is believed that summoning Kingdom Hearts could purge the World of true darkness for good.

    After Xehanort and Eraqus were the only ones of their friends to return from the Underworld, Baldr, overtaken by the darkness, attacked Scala ad Caelum and, after striking down the remaining upperclassmen and Vor, revealed that summoning Kingdom Hearts would not purge the World of true darkness but would rather cause the World to be reborn through darkness. Baldr also tells Xehanort that they are both the same: they both harbor light and darkness and are both be viewed as being overtaken by darkness when they do what is necessary to achieve their goals. Then, before Xehanort strikes Baldr down, he tells him to seek answers to the unjust ways of the world and to darkness.

    Sometime during the next year, Xehanort comes to the conclusion that light and darkness must exist in balance and decides to learn to wield light and darkness in equal shares in order to be Eraqus' equal.

    During his world tour (his trip to broaden his horizons in preparation for the Mark of Mastery exam), Xehanort decided to take off his armor within the corridors of darkness and embrace it, believing that he had the strength to overcome it (his mentor, the blue robed figure, had told him that he had to remain on Destiny Islands until he had the strength to overcome the darkness). However, the darkness was too much for him, and he was saved by the Master of Masters, who, after giving him one of the black coats that repels darkness, gave him the mission to use his ability to connect with the hearts of others to look into the hearts of those who lived in the worlds he would visit during his world tour.

    Upon returning from his world tour, Xehanort told the Master of Masters that, by looking into the hearts of others, he realized that they were ruled by darkness while believing that they were ruled by light (a "false light"). After coming to this realization, Xehanort came to conclusion that it was his destiny to act.

    Three years later, Xehanort makes the decision to finally do as Baldr told him to do and seek answers to the unjust ways of the world and to darkness. He did this while still being trained by Master Odin along with Eraqus. It was most likely during this time that Xehanort decided to become the seeker of darkness. 

    After he found the answers he sought and recalling that the blue robed figure told him it was his destiny to save the light, Xehanort came to the conclusion that purging the World by summoning Kingdom Hearts was the only way to bring an end to the tyranny of light (the "false light") and wanted to rebuild the World in such a way so that light and darkness would be in perfect balance and so that he could dictate the destines of the people living in the New World. He also came to the conclusion that he was going to need more than one lifetime to achieve his goals (he figured that he would need thirteen lifetimes to rebuild the World and one more lifetime to explore it).

    Two years later, Xehanort and Eraqus were made Keyblade Masters. Eraqus was made Master Odin's successor, and Xehanort inherited the No Name Keyblade (or the Gazing Eye).

    One year later, Xehanort revealed his intentions to summon Kingdom Hearts to Eraqus, and they clashed. The outcome of this clash is unknown, but we do know that Xehanort shaved his head to show his dedication to his goal.

    During the many years that followed, Xehanort sought answers that would help him achieve his goal. During this time, he uncovered the secrets of the χ-Blade and that one could forge it by having a heart of light clash with a heart of darkness (this would be a faster way to summon Kingdom Hearts than with the clash between light and darkness that the blue robed figure told him about). He also clashes with Eraqus again, this time leaving him scarred, and afterward discovered from the Magic Mirror in Dwarf Woodlands where one of the friends from his dreams was and went to find him, that person being Ventus. He decided to use Ventus in his plans, first to be his vessel, and then, after coming to the conclusion that Ventus does not have the fortitude for such a task, to separate the darkness from his heart and have Ventus' light side and dark side clash to forge the χ-Blade, which brings us to Birth by Sleep.

    Even with this explanation of Xehanort's timeline, I feel that there are still some questions that need answering. How much did what the blue robed figure reveal to Xehanort about his future lead him down his path? How much did knowing that the child of destiny was a dark vessel lead Xehanort to embrace the darkness and how much did his research into the truth about darkness lead him to embrace the darkness? Maybe some more of our questions will be answered at future times or maybe they will forever remain mysteries. However, as of right now, I think this is what most makes sense. What do you think?


  7. Overall, I thought Dark Road was really good. Much better than I was expecting it to be. The story was relatively straightforward, there didn't seem to be much story filler, and the finale was quite good.

    The only complaint that I have is that the majority of the story didn't seem to add much to Xehanort's motivations to forge the X-Blade and summon Kingdom Hearts. We would keep getting glimpses of his future travels throughout the game, but as far as the main story is concerned, he didn't really change at all or start down his dark path until many years after the story ended. Additionally, the death of his friends didn't seem to add to his motivations at all, which I thought was strange. However, that's my only issue. Other than that, I enjoyed the game quite a bit.


  8. It's hard to say for sure. We know via answers that were given at the 20th anniversary event that what we have was only released to avoid it being leaked and that more information will be released way after E3. That could mean that it will still be quite a few years before the game is released. However, this first trailer looks like they are much further along than when they first announced Kingdom Hearts III. In addition, it sounds like they have a lot of stuff planned out already (at least for the early game). So, I think it is possible for KH4 to be released in 2024, possibly early 2025.


  9. KH1 is my favorite of the numbered titles. In my opinion, KH2 is the most fun to play, but KH1 has the best story and world design. Plus, I think KH1 uses its Disney and Final Fantasy characters the best. I think KH3 looks the best and has the best moments, and I think the Re:Mind DLC might be the best thing that has ever come out of the Kingdom Hearts series. However, as a whole, I like KH1 and KH2 a little bit more than KH3.


  10. Yozora says something really interesting to Sora before fighting him in the Secret Episode of Re:Mind. He says, "But this isn't what I really look like. How'd you recognize me as Yozora?" A line like that leads me to believe that what Yozora really looks like is going to be a big reveal in the future, which means that he must actually be someone who we already know. So, who will this person be? If I had to take a guess, I would say that this person is Brain.

    While they don't look exactly the same, I do think that there are some similarities between Brain and Yozora's designs. So, I don't think it's a huge stretch to say that Brain's appearance was tweaked a bit when he took on the identity of Yozora.

    Blaine<span style="font-weight: normal">&#32;(<span class="t_nihongo_kanji" style="white-space:nowrap" lang="ja" xml:lang="ja">ブレイン</span><span class="t_nihongo_comma" style="display:none">,</span>&#32;<i>Burein</i><span class="t_nihongo_help noprint"><sup><span class="t_nihongo_icon" style="color: #00e; font: bold 80% sans-serif; text-decoration: none; padding: 0 .1em;">?</span></sup></span>)</span> from the 675 Daybreak Town questYozora KHIIIRM.png

    Yozora also says to Sora, "I accidentally wandered into this place, and went through some trials. Then, I was told to 'save Sora.'" This seems to to prove that Yozora does not belong in unreality. I also think that we see the moment that he "accidentally wandered into this place" at the end of Union χ[cross] in the cutscene "An Unfamiliar Town."

    Brain wakes up in an unfamiliar town and meets Sigurd, who gives him his hat back (which he already has for some reason) and says to Brain, "It was decided that you would escape Daybreak Town amidst its destruction and arrive here today. And that we would welcome you." This makes me think that Brain's arrival was recorded in the Book of Prophecies, a book which Brain admits that he never read, despite being given it by Ava, which would explain why he didn't understand what Sigurd was saying. However, in the cutscene "Resolutions," Brain gave the Book of Prophecies to someone who had desperately wanted to read it: Ephemer, the founder of this unfamiliar town, which we learn is Scala ad Caelum. So, Ephemer must have learned of Brain's arrival by reading the Book of Prophecies and prepared for his arrival. Then, once Sigurd brings Brain to his headquarters and explains the situation to him, I think that he is given the mission to "save Sora."

    But then how did Brain end up in unreality? In the cutscene "I'll figure it out," Luxu says to Brain about the lifeboat, "Whoever uses it needs two things at their destination: someone with memories of them, and a vessel to occupy." I think that the person who had memories of Brain was Ephemer, and that Ephemer somehow ended up in unreality, where he is still alive and was waiting to greet Brain when he appeared in Scala as Caelum. After all, Luxu writes in Secret Report 12: Observations, Excerpt 2 from Kingdom Hearts III, "In time, be it years or decades, centuries or millennia, I will meet the Five [that is, the five Union leaders chosen to replace the Foretellers] once more," which means that the Ephemer must still be alive somewhere.

    I therefore think that this Scala ad Caelum is a second Scala ad Caelum which exists in unreality, which would explain why it looks so different from the one we know of in Kingdom Hearts III and Re:Mind. This would also explain why Xehanort seems to be the only person who is aware of unreality's existence, since we see at the end of Union χ[cross] that he was born in this version of Scala ad Caelum and then was taken to Destiny Islands (aka reality) by a mysterious person. Xehanort probably either unlocked his brief memories from being in unreality or uncovered the meaning of some mysterious item from unreality that was left with him by his mother in order to learn of unreality's existence. If this is true, I'm not sure how Ephemer got there or why Brain was given a new identity (although if I had to guess, I would say that Ephemer knows of the Master of Masters' plans and is trying to stop him secretly by hiding Brain's identity so that the Master of Masters doesn't recognize him). However, I think that this is what makes the most sense at the moment. But these are just my thoughts. What do you think?


  11. While this technically isn't canon, the Birth by Sleep novel said that Vanitas used to be a faceless being with red eyes until Ventus and Sora formed a connection, which is what made Vanitas' face look like Sora's. So, it may be possible that the other Darknesses would not have faces either, unless the person they came from formed a connection with someone too. Either that, or their faces would look like whoever they came from. As for what they will be wearing, I would guess that their outfits would look similar to Vanitas' since he was wearing his outfit from the moment Xehanort extracted him from Ventus.


  12. I agree with some of these, but I think others are just wishes that are not likely to happen.

    I think there are two things that we really need in order for Kingdom Hearts IV to be an improvement: a better paced story and gameplay that is more fun.

    The pacing of the story was my main issue with Kingdom Hearts III. It felt like it started right in the middle of a story, with Master Yen Sid explaining Sora's mission to him. It also felt like most of the important stuff didn't happen until the end of the game. Finally, the ending of the story felt very abrupt and made it feel more like a cliffhanger ending than a conclusion to the Dark Seeker Saga, an issue that I felt was fixed with Re:MIND.

    While I personally did not have an issue with the gameplay, once I played the game with the new abilities that we got in the free update, I could never go back to the old way of playing.

    So,

    Brain is Yozora?

     

    That's my theory. True, they don't look exactly the same, but Yozora did tell Sora, "This isn't what I really look like." Also, even though I theorized that it was Ephemer that gave Brain the mission to save Sora, it could have been the Master of Masters too since, after looking back at the Secret Episode, what Yozora says to Sora implies that he wasn't given the mission to save Sora until he was already in unreality. But I still think that Brain entering unreality happens at Scala ad Caelum.


  14.  

    After my initial reaction to the Union χ finale (in which I wondered what exactly the Master of Masters was planning), I decided to refresh my memory on all the important details that have hinted at what is coming next. From those details, I have formed some theories and have come up with some questions. These theories and questions will contain spoilers for the Union χ finale, so read at your own risk.

    The Foretellers

     

    In Kingdom Hearts III, Luxu writes about the Foretellers, also known as the Lost Masters, returning. In Secret Report 12, he writes, “Somewhere in this cyclical history of bequeathings, a chosen one will appear and reenact the Keyblade War. When this scapegoat arrives and takes my Keyblade in hand, this will be the time to take the stage and finish my role. The Lost Masters will awaken.” And in Secret Report 13, he writes, “But now at last the Keyblade War has begun, and Kingdom Hearts will open—a true and complete Kingdom Hearts, born of the clash between darkness and light. I will soon be reunited with my old companions, and in that moment my long vigil will reach its end. He will return...”

    We don't know for sure what happened to the Foretellers, but since Luxu writes that he will not be reunited with them until after Xehanort reenacts the Keyblade War, this might mean that they entered Kingdom Hearts, and by the true Kingdom Hearts being opened, the Foretellers were able to be summoned back by Luxu. He would have had to do it before Sora closed Kingdom Hearts though, so this might be a bit of a stretch, but I think that it could still be a possibility.

    The Darkness’ Plan

     

    The darkness wants to expand and find bodies to occupy so that it can regain a physical form and therefore retain its will. There were two parts to its plan: “To spread throughout the data world using its signals,” and “to accompany the chosen one into the future, so [it] can lay claim to worlds not yet created.”

    The chosen one is Maleficent. In fact, the darkness even told Maleficent that it was helping her to obtain a waypoint, which is needed in order to travel through time. However, Luxu appears to have fought the darkness that planned to travel into the future. We did not see what the outcome was, but, whatever the outcome was, I bet that the darkness will succeed in using Maleficent as a waypoint.

    As for the other part of the plan, it appears that the Player trapped the four remaining darknesses in the portal cable, so they may be trapped there forever, but could they find a way out?

    The Dandelions

     

    The Master of Masters said that the Dandelions would be sown into the future, and while some of them were by using the lifeboats, the rest appear to have turned into Dream Eaters. If the darkness succeeds in expanding, and its numbers are great, could the Dream Eaters be summoned from the Realm of Sleep and be restored as Keyblade wielders to help defeat the darkness?

    The Seven Lights

     

    The Master of Masters said that the seven pods, or lifeboats, were for the seven lights, who would travel into the future, like he would. The seven who entered the lifeboats were:

    1. Ephemer
    2. Skuld
    3. Ventus
    4. Lauriam (Marluxia)
    5. Elrena (Larxene)
    6. The Person in the White Robe (possibly Strelitzia)
    7. Maleficent

    This would not only mean that Marluxia and Larxene are two of the seven lights, but it would also mean that Maleficent is one of the seven lights. Does this mean that these three will ally with our heroes to defeat the darkness?

    Brain is not included as one of the seven who entered the lifeboats, and he appears to become a vessel for Luxu.

    Luxu

     

    In Secret Report 12, Luxu wrote, “I bequeathed my Keyblade to one of the Union leaders, just as the Master instructed. I watched as the Five were sent to another worldline—at no small cost—ensuring the line of Keyblade wielders will live on. And now, Keybladeless, I must depart this land to fulfill my final task. This means casting my own body aside and sojourning my heart in vessel after vessel—as many as it takes.”

    He says he passed the Gazing Eye to one of the Five and became Keybladeless, but we see in the Union χ finale that he appears to have turned Brain into his vessel and continued using Gazing Eye after that. How does this match up with what Luxu wrote? Maybe he didn’t become Keybladeless until after his time in Brain’s body was over.

    Luxu also writes in Secret Report 12, “In time, be it years or decades, centuries or millennia, I will meet the Five once more.”

    Since Brain is one of the Five, does this mean that, even though he is probably not one of the seven lights and appears to have become a vessel by Luxu, we will see him again?

    Brain

     

    Even though Brain appears to have become a vessel for Luxu, we also see him appear in Scala ad Caelum. I’m not sure why, but it does seem like it was planned.

    Since Luxu wrote that he would meat the Five once more, this probably means that we will see Ephemer again, even though he is the one that appears to have been sent forward in time the shortest distance. My theory is that Ephemer is still alive, because of one reason or another, when Brain awakens in Scala ad Caelum at the end of the Union χ finale, and that it is Ephemer that called him there for a special reason: to save Sora.

    I think that Sora getting trapped in unreality was written in the Book of Prophecies. We at least know that unreality is mentioned in the Book, as the Master of Masters says, and Luxu, as Xigbar, implies to Sora that he knows what his fate will be, meaning that he was probably either informed of it by the Master of Masters or by Xehanort (Xehanort seems to have at least read some of the Book of Prophecies, since there are times when he comments about what has and hasn’t been written).

    Brain was probably sent to unreality by Ephemer to save Sora, but something went wrong, and he doesn’t remember much, other than that he has to save Sora. He even goes by a different name now: Yozora.


  15. 8 hours ago, ocean's rage said:

    well was it ever actually clear that the foretellers died in the keyblade war? if not the the darkness inside of them wouldnt have been destroyed.

    You're right. I don't think they died during the Keyblade War. My point was that, if the darknesses are already trapped within them, why not just end them now instead of reawakening them in the future? Unless there's another way to defeat the darknesses without ending the lives of the vessels that is.

    8 hours ago, ocean's rage said:

    also wasnt stretliza the one who was supposed to get the book of of prophecies not ephemer?

    Sorry, I messed up. I think I was confused by Brain giving the Book of Prophecies to Ephemer at the end and telling him that it was meant for him. However, Ava still gave the Book of Prophecies to Brain hoping that he could change their fates, which it looks like he mostly succeeded in doing.

    8 hours ago, ocean's rage said:

    also even though luxu is the traitor he seems to have done everything the master asked him to and the master seemed to imply that the traitor was a ruse to allow the darkness to enter their hearts and luxu only claims to be the traitor in order to start the keyblade war.

    That is what the Master of Masters implied, but I wasn't sure if he was being honest, especially since Luxu seemed unwilling to accept the Master of Masters' willingness to sacrifice them all. True, Luxu has been carrying out his role perfectly, as far as we know, but that doesn't mean he isn't planning something in the future. Maybe I'm wrong, but the fact that he told Luxu that the traitor was a ruse, and then called Luxu the traitor after he had left the room and could no longer hear him made me think that Luxu would become one in the future.


  16. Spoilers for Kingdom Hearts Union X[cross]

    For all the reveals that we have gotten about the Master of Masters plan, the less sense it seems to make to me. Here's what we know (if I miss anything, feel free to let me know):

    1. The Master of Masters and his six apprentices are vessels for the seven strongest darknesses.
    2. The roles of the Foretellers and the revelation of a traitor were meant to cause the Foretellers to distrust each other and become at odds with each other, which would cause the darknesses to enter them.
    3. The Dandelions were meant to be the ones to restore the World with the light they collected.
    4. The new Union Leaders are vessels for five of the six remaining darknesses.
    5. The final darkness is to be trapped in the data Daybreak Town.
    6. The Master of Masters disappeared to unreality, but will be able to return using Luxu and the Gazing Eye.

    However, some things have seemed to go wrong:

    1. Ava seemed to go rouge, giving the Book of Prophecies to Brain instead of Ephemer.
    2. Four of the five Union Leaders did not become vessels for the darkness; only Ventus did (and he isn't even technically a Union Leader).
    3. Five of the darknesses are trapped in the data Daybreak Town instead of just one.
    4. Luxu also seems to be acting on his own a bit, but the Master of Masters also seems to be expecting this, calling him the traitor.

    To me, it seems the Master of Masters' ultimate goal is to trap the darknesses within vessels and then destroy the vessels, but if that's all he wants, why go through all this, and why have the Foretellers return at all? Also, the Master of Masters is one of the vessels, so what is he planning to do about that? He also seems to have anticipated the betrayals of Ava and Luxu (if they are betrayals), and seems to have worked them into his plan, since he said to himself that he was counting on "Luxu the traitor", and since Luxu said in KH3's epilogue that Ava carried out her role, even though she appears to have gone rouge. What exactly is the Master of Masters planning? It can't be as simple as destroying the darkness. If it is, it seems there were much easier and quicker ways to do so, ways that did not need all of this (eveything from UX to KH3) to happen.


  17. I'm tempted to say Terranort, since he is Master Xehanort in a younger, stronger body (we do see Terra defeat Master Xehanort, and Terranort was taking on all of the guardians of light by himself and was winning against them until Donald used Zettaflare). However, since Master Xehanort at his full power would be him controlling Kingdom Hearts, I would say that Master Xehanort would win.


  18. I think that, if Demyx is going to be revealed to be anyone, it will be the Master of Masters. It would be nice if MoM was his own character, but I think that it is extremely unlikely. Why put someone in a black coat if they aren't going to have a dramatic reveal when the hood comes off? And the only way for it to be a dramatic reveal is if it's a character we already know. I really hate the idea of MoM being Sora. I hope that he isn't him. Plus, I believe that Nomura has said in the past that Sora will always be the hero, although he could always change his mind. But assuming that Sora will always be the hero, the only other person I could see being MoM is Demyx, unless he is a character we haven't been introduced to yet. I suppose there is a chance that MoM is the embodiment of Light, kind of like how we have now been introduced to the embodiment of Darkness, but I don't think that is as likely.


  19. There are a lot of songs that I would have liked in the game, but I would like to focus on the boss themes.

    For the main boss fights in the game, I would have focused on the different forms of Xehanort: Ansem, Xemnas, Young Xehanort, and Master Xehanort. I would have changed Ansem's theme to Forze Del Male instead of Guardando nel buio, kept Xemnas' theme the same (Darkness of the Unknown), and given Young Xehanort his theme (L'Impeto Oscuro). Then, I would have added one more fight before the final boss fight, which would have been fighting all three of them together to Forza Finale, with each of them attacking you and getting defeated during their part of the theme.

    For Disney bosses, I would have kept the Maleficent fight and added a Pete fight, which would be fought to Rowdy Rumble.

    Then, for the final boss fight, I would have added a second phase to it. The first phase would have been to Critical Crossroad, and you would have played as Kairi during it. Then, the second phase would be the same with you playing as Sora to Dark Domination.

    I also would have added three bonus bosses, Unknown, Lingering Will, and Mysterious Figure. Unknown would have been fought to Disappeared, Lingering Will would have been fought to Rage Awakened, and Mysterious Figure would have been fought to Dark Impetus.

    There are a lot of other bosses that could be added to this game, but these are the ones that I would add.
