I can see that. Maybe Brain gave it to the Player character in Missing Link at the end and Player took both it and Xehanort to Destiny Islands for safe keeping? Maybe at some point in the newest arc our main characters will go to Destiny islands and find the book hidden there?

Wait... is that Meow Wow? -_- Is it Now I need to see Yozora's Meow Wow. Also bring Sora's Meow Wow to quadratum to live in his apartment and Sora can give him walks out and about the city.

Yeah I agree with you about that. I'm just wondering if the Good Remind ending will connect to the battle in the KH4 trailer where Sora fights the heartless attacking quadratum? Maybe Sora fights the heartless and after defeating it Yozora and Luxord show up having watched the fight and Sora doesn't know whether to throw hands or not after the dream battle (poor kid has a lot to process either way). You know considering the MoM game had Sora jumping into Kairi's dreams to save her by fighting dream Xehanort, I bet dream battles will be a thing moving forward. For all we know Sora might interact with other characters through dreams often going forward. Though I'm also wondering about the timeline now? MoM takes place a year after Sora vanished. Sora shows up in Kairi's dreams. Kairi wakes up and Riku goes to Quadratum. Before that Riku spent a year dreaming of Quadratum because that's where Sora is. In Quadratum, Sora wakes up and is told by Streliztia he's been asleep for a week. When does Sora waking up in Quadratum take place? What are the chances that Sora's journey in Quadratum takes place a year before the events of Limit Cut/MoM and throughout the game we just go back and forth between Sora's present and the rest of the characters present until they match up?

That makes sense. I guess I'm curious how this punishment pans out. Like if Sora's punishment will last longer then one game and if he leaves Quadratum it will be on a time limit and he'll have to return. Like you said, maybe an outside source will be someone like Riku who can leave and enter Quatradum with his own powers. But even then Riku's abilities to free Sora completely are limited. Yeah me too. What does save Sora mean? Is it simply get Sora out of Quadratum? Did Yozora bring Sora to Quadratum as a way to help him? Of course that alone doesn't seem enough since even in the good ending (which as far as I know is canon) still leads Sora to Quadratum and Yozora saying his power's not needed yet for Sora. Overall that makes me wonder if Sora's still under some kind of other punishment besides banishment from his own reality and only Yozora can save him? At this point I'm just going to assume it's MoM or someone working for him. Luxord is the other mystery I'm really curious. Back when KH2 released Luxord was actually my favorite Org member so the fact he's grown in importance is pretty fun for me. I'm guessing Luxord is Yozora's main caretaker and I'm also assuming in the good ending he's asking Yozora if he also thought Sora was impressive (be it the dream or the beginning of KH4 where Sora is fighting to save the city). I guess for all we know Luxord could have been the one to tell Yozora to save Sora though? Though speaking of Luxord, Remind made me very curious how he and Luxu will interact with each other since Luxord seems to be the only other character Luxu is completely in the dark about. For all we now those two are two sides of the same coin in some ways. At least when it comes to devotion to their masters and what covers they've had to assume.

So does that mean in this new Arc, Sora will carry the repercussions of breaking taboo? I wonder if just being in Quadratum is the punishment or if something else will carry with him. Mostly Yozora's mission is making me think that.

Hasn't Sora even technically fought Force User like beings anyway, he's had buildings chucked at him or weird mind powers holding him in place or stealing his weapon and flies around through belief. Sora's pretty much a Force User anyway. Should Vader really surprise him. The guy has fought actual gods and won. @_@ He could summon a carousel or a mermaid at Vader for crying at loud

Same. My first thoughts seeing that was 'oh yeah the KH team are Star Wars fans.

This is spoilers for Dark Road so I'll spoiler tag it but for KH4

We know Nomura would love it too.

Don't know? I'm still thinking Return of the Jedi is most likely just for the Endor look alone. But I guess it depends more on what themes they are going for in 4 and what SW story would best fit. I usually just think movies but would Clone Wars work? Considering Sora's in more realistic setting I can't help but think he'd easily just fall into the live action movies. I love Fallen Order. Cal was so good and he and Sora would have great chemistry and relate to each other. It'd be cool if we could get a original story with the SW characters like Big Hero 6 and Pixar worlds.

Yes to Original SW! I want to fight Vader and/or Palpatine! Idk, while Luke fights Vader maybe Sora could get Palpatine to get off his chair and fight a bit and then Sora gets knocked away at the end and we got the whole ending scene? Idk, I'm pretty sure Sora could give a force user a run for their money considering the people he has fought before. And if he can't I don't care. I think it'd be neat either way no matter how they do it to fight against Vader at least once.

Spoiling just in case for finale:

Make Jedi Force Ghosts a summon!

Yeah! Like one where Roxas isn't breaking Sora's brain or there isn't some reality ending crisis going on where one of them vanishes at the end of (it just hit me Roxas vanished at the end of KH2 with no hope at the time of ever coming back as his own individual and Sora vanishes at the end of KH3 with no hope at the time of ever returning to his reality. Maybe there will be a game where neither vanishes from each others life at the end someday).

Me too. While I want to see Xion and Sora interact more. I'm hoping they at least throw some moments here and there outside of the usual dynamics. It's was nice to see Riku finally interacting with the Hollow Bastion FF crew and having a nice moment with Namine at the end of KH3 considering their history and link to Replica Riku. Riku's interactions with Xion in 358/2 days were complicated to say the least. But he was also the one who got Xion on the path to rebelling against the Org 13 and thinking for herself more. I'd like to see them interacting again and how they'd be as friends.

To this day I still wonder what the heck Roxas was even doing there? He was so touched by Sora's belief he was his own person and Roxas was like 'see that's why it had to be you'... Then the heartwarming moments fans everywhere have been hoping to see turns into Roxas = D while Sora looks like his brain is going to explode as the download of 358/2 days goes straight into his head. I was like, Roxas! Sora just got done telling you your feelings and life is yours alone and you two weren't the same. What part of that did you interperate as surprised Sora by forcing him to look into your whole backstory? You two are face to face. Use words. Tell the backstory! This was such bad timing on your part. D X Idk. Maybe Roxas is like, I can trust everything to Sora. He can handle it. = D Meanwhile Sora @_@ i can't handle this

Perpetually nice big sibling can exist.... in fiction

Probably didn't help a) Roxas didn't know what Sora was like b) everyone who was a good guy (even if they were a revenge obsessed jerk like Ansem the Wise at the time) wanted him gone for Sora's return and kept saying how better Sora was c) even his friends told him he wasn't real and did things behind his back. Thankfully after settling his differences in a fight (oh hey typical bro stuff already right), Roxas got to see Sora for who he was and since then Sora was the one person who never let him down. Roxas has closer friends. But it's nice to see how much post KH2 games showed Sora's thoughtfulness for Roxas and Roxas's faith in Sora to help him even when he had already given up on himself. It's why while I don't care of Roxas doesn't have a big part to play in the next arc, I hope he gets some shining moments and he and Sora (and Xion) can really get into that sibling dynamic KH3 seemed to push. You're right. I bet he would even give Roxas his last sea salt ice cream. Though if Roxas wants a fight, Sora has shown he's not above being underhanded with him. X D But yeah Sora's the ultimate big bro. Pretty sure Roxas would throw hands if Ven said Terra was the best big bro.

Just watch Everglow's youtube channel. He has all the cutscenes complied together so it's a good way to see the story or remember what the heck is going on. https://www.youtube.com/c/Everglow8444

Well Sora didn't hug him but he was the first person to tell him he deserved to live as a person. He got his hug from Axel and Xion so we're good there. 👍 The irony is that someone was. Sora was taking care of him through there connection and quickly came to his aid again when he needed it most from fading away. It's too bad Eraqus, Aqua and Terra were looking out for him but were doing an arguably terrible job at it. X P

Aw yeah. You can tell Roxas really looks up to Sora after reconciling his relationship with him. Roxas is always counting on Sora to never be worried and to save the day like it's a simple thing. He just trusts Sora completely to take care of everything - makes sense. Sora was the first person ever to tell him he was his own person and even protected his and Xion's hearts until they had bodies. Plus how angry he got when Sora got hurt in Remind. Yeah there's actually a lot of good moments between them throughout the series. KH3 really upped the whole sibling like dynamic potential between them. Particularly in the Big Hero 6 world where it seemed like they were comparing Sora and Roxas to Tadashi and Hiro (which gets sadder considering like Hiro, Roxas saw Sora vanish from his life right in front of him). It's probably why even if Roxas and Xion have no plot importance (which Nomura could easily give them I suppose. We don't know everything about this new Arc in the series). I can still see them being given focus in Sora's story because of how the series built their relationship for more. Also Xion's fascination and perceptiveness with Sora is also cute.

Yeah me too. Laurium's story is pretty interesting with what he'll be doing. I'm assuming he and Larxene will remember everything. Which means they'll know the truth about Ven and everything else. The only question is when they'll explain things or where they even ended up? It'd be easier if they found Ven who then would take them to Quadratum. But unless they've done their own digging they don't have a reason to go there except maybe finding Sora because they owe him one. Yeah like who will find Strelitzia first, Laurium or Ven? Ven is the most likely candidate since he knows Quadratum exists now and Sora is there. We also don't know how Strelitzia will react to Ven. Will she caution Sora on trusting Ven, prompting a confused Ven to begin to recover his lost memories? But if Lauriam finds her first then less drama because he can explain things (basically we'll have Ven having another crisis over his identity either way).

I know right? I thought it was pretty obvious since Coded they were coming back. At least in in DDD with Sora telling Roxas he deserved to be his own person and how Ansem the Wise talked about how everything can have a heart. How weird would it have been if Roxas, Xion and Namine were just stuck inside Sora and Kairi forever post KH3 despite the previous games telling you they had hearts and deserved to live their own lives? I won't hold my breath for them being in KH4 but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised. Ven I could definitely see popping up and potentially being important to the story. Plus I could see him wanting to see Sora after everything Sora's done for him and even sneaking off or deciding to go to Quadratum on his own. Unlike Aqua, he's not busy training a new pupil. He's also the only main character connected to the old age of Keyblade wielders and there's a lot of potential for him running into Strelitzia or anyone else from that age. Ven being in Quadratum in 4 could happen for a lot of reasons. Though I want to see moments of big brother Sora with little brother Roxas and little sister Xion. The moments they gave us of them with Sora were so good. I'd like to see more now with the latter two freed and having been living their own lives for a year already.
