Hey guys, it's been a while since I've posted a theory or really, any other topic (excluding news). I'm not joking when I say that I've had this theory for two years now and I've never really made a topic about this. So yeah, about time I posted it. Anyway, this theory revolves around the Wayfinders Aqua had made for herself, Terra and Ventus. When Ventus asks Aqua, "So this isn't a real good luck charm?" she replies with, "Well, that's yet to be seen. But I did work a little magic on it. An unbreakable connection." To many, if not all players, this might have been just a symbolic and friendly answer rather than actual magic. But, my thoughts on that changed when a Kingdom Hearts 3 trailer released at E3 2015 (hence why I stated I've had this theory for 2 years now). At the end of this trailer, we can see this mysterious, glowing crystal in the room with Young Eraqus and Xehanort: Many, including myself, thought that this is a simple decoration to the room and nothing really important. Well, this is where my theory comes into play. When I saw this object, it looked incredibly familiar to me and it was annoying me for days, thinking of what this reminded me of. Until finally, I knew why it seemed familiar to me: This, right here, is what it reminded me of. Something so small, yet possibly important. This is an item that is left by certain enemies after defeating them in Birth by Sleep and refills the D-Link bar once collected. These prizes you obtain look similar, if not exact, to the object seen in the E3 2015 trailer. I believe that this object in the trailer provides 'connections' between beings, providing powers and aid from one friend to another. I believe that Aqua used this object, or at least its power, and made the Wayfinders with it; this "magic" that she adds to them. In Birth by Sleep, once given the Wayfinder in the game's prologue, a tutorial box entitled "Borrow Your Friends Powers!" appears which states, "The Wayfinder allows you to Dimension Link with friends and borrow their powers." Now you might be thinking that this is just a gameplay mechanic and not necessarily part of the story. While I understand this statement, this situation wouldn't be the first time. For example, in Kingdom Hearts 2, Sora tends to get angry towards Organization members, implying that this is because of Roxas' hatred towards them. In the game, you are more likely to transform into Anti-Form when battling against Organization members. You also might be thinking, "Well okay, but how does this expand even further? Is it just this and nothing else?" Well, here's where this gets deeper. I believe that it's because of this crystal added to the Wayfinders that caused Aqua's Keyblade to glow and fight back against Ventus-Vanitas and shatter the X-Blade. Her words before her Keyblade starts glowing are, "Terra, Ven, lend me strength." Now you might be thinking, "Oh that was just some my friends are my power stuff," and to that I say: We were probably thinking the same when Sora turned back to normal after turning into a Heartless; he gets a hug from Kairi and he's normal again. However, it is later revealed that because of the powerful light of her heart, she essentially turned Sora's Heartless into a "walking heart," since she is a Princess of Heart. Furthermore, this could also explain why Aqua was saved by Terra's and Ventus' Keyblades from the Darksides after entering the Realm of Darkness (though this might not be the reason, it could be). Finally! I've posted this theory. So I want to know what you guys think? Did you like it? Is there anything against it? Please let me know. (And don't be an a**hole about it.)

To continue on with our trailer analysis series, let's take a look at the chess pieces Young Xehanort and Young Eraqus are using in the Each piece seems to have a symbol on the top, which we noticed could correspond to characters in the Kingdom Hearts series, more specifically, the seven lights and the thirteen darknesses. Thanks to Tumblr user freeshooterxig, some of these symbols have been depicted with their corresponding characters: We also noticed that there are duplicates of the "Ansem, Seeker of Darkness" pieces - one to represent Ansem, and the other to possibly represent his Guardian. Also, we found two "Vanitas" pieces, possibly signifying Vanitas and the Vanitas Remnant. KH13 user, PrinceNoctis, gives his analysis: Another interesting thing to note is which pieces eliminate each other. It's hard for us to tell, but one move that is certain is the "Sora" piece eliminating one of the "Ansem, Seeker of Darkness"/"Guardian" pieces. If you can make out any other eliminations, let us know! We would just like to clarify that this is based purely on speculation. However, it seems too perfect in our eyes. So, what do you think of all of this? Can you depict any symbols we missed? Sound off in the comments below!

I have seen the E3 trailer countless times. I still love it to this day. I have also seen people observe different things about the trailer like the chess piece, the calendar behind Eraqus, and some gameplay elements. However, there is one thing I noticed that no one else seems to have. The image below is something I noticed. Notice the writing below Master Xehanort's keyblade in the image that we see briefly in the trailer? What is this and what does it mean? Is this evidence of an ancient language spoken before the Keyblade War in the ancient times? I think it is an ancient language, but what do you all think? Off topic: I noticed the lettering is like a mixture of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, Chinese, and Greek lettering. That is how I described the ancient writing in my story, My Kingdom Hearts Story: Two Universes Collide.

After showing the trailer for , Shinji Hasimoto (executive producer of Kingdom Hearts series) says [according to translator] “Ok moving along; I’d like to discuss the title I think we’ve all been waiting for! Kingdom Hearts III!” The KHIII logo, Donald, Goofy and Sora in his new black and red outfit appear on the screen behind him. “But rather than having me talk about it, I thought it’d be much better if we watched actual footage of the game!” Gregg Holman (Vice President of Worldwide Marketing and Franchise Management) and Roy Conli (Disney producer of Treasure Planet, Tangled, Big Hero 6 and more) before Hasimto says [according to translator] “So without any further ado, here’s the world premier of the latest footage from Kingdom Hearts III!” Then the began… HERCULES WORLDCuts to Sora is in his KHII outfit (even after the new outfit was revealed) running and jumping through some sunlit mountain scenery and comes across water themed Heartless (using bubbles and rainclouds for attacks). There are some olympic pillars, trees and statues which have the disney drawing style of the Hercules film, so was fair to assume at this stage that Sora was in the world of Hercules. Later there are Heartless (looking like flying monkeys and bulls) which seem to have ‘clothing’ resembling to the ‘Hercules’ style and then the Rock Titan appears making it more evident that this is the Hercules world. Meanwhile Sora is fighting with Keyblade, using fire spells, and at one point Sora, Donald and Goofy combine to perform a charging attack with Goofy’s shield at the front which turns fiery as they impact the Heartless. In the , the Rock Titan and general mountain surroundings were featured (so we already knew about this film’s incorporation), but now we have more insight as to what the Hercules world would look like (the resemblance to the disney style, the massive scale of the world/enemies and effects of the Unreal Engine 4! When the Rock Titan is attacking, Sora runs up an almost vertical mountain side while dodging rocks being thrown. It cuts to Sora at the Titan’s foot when a luminous blue light surrounds Sora as he jumps up the Rock Titan (almost like Flowmotion in Dream Drop Distance). It cuts to Sora hitting the Titan’s foot with the Keyblade making the foot ‘crack’ to show lava. Sora then lifts his Keyblade up to summon a luminous steam-train; the same one we again, but this time with more detail/colour on the train and more realistic gameplay (targeting and hitting through the Titan’s hand). TANGLED WORLD We then see Sora walk from a cave with Donald and Goofy in his new outfit which is mainly black and red (if it’s like a drive form or his permanent outfit we are not sure as the KHII outfit appeared as well). It then cuts to show Sora looking at Rapunzel’s tower confirming the fact that a world based on “Tangled” will be in KHIII! This is the first time a world based on a 3D animated film, has been incorporated in the Kingdom Hearts franchise and looks almost identical to film. Flower-like Heartless then start to appear, one of which acts like a dandelion to create more small heartless. Sora uses a wind like spell and jumps into the air splitting his Keyblade in two and transforming it into guns (seen in the and HD 2.5 ReMIX launch event trailers) firing blue beams at the Heartless. It then transforms into a massive gun, shooting multiple shots in the one go and finishing with a large shot. Sora then raises his Keyblade to perform the same movement like the steam-train summon; this looks like how Sora will usually do these special moves. This time he jumps in the air, falls through the ground like water and then a pirate ship (like in ) splashes out of the ground spinning to destroy the Heartless. It is also looks more vibrant and colourful, but only last a few seconds and disappears into shimmers of light. TWILIGHT TOWN We then cut to Sora, Donald and Goofy running through Twilight Town where the hole which leads to the Mansion is (like in the and ). Sora performs a Blizzard spell at Shadows, Soldiers and Large Body Heartless (from the first Kingdom Hearts game) then jumps in the air and spirals down (with blue light twirling around) onto the Heartless. Sora bounces off the wall and twirls round Heartless (like Flowmotion in Dream Drop Distance). Sora once again raises his Keyblade and summons three luminous tee-cups for him, Donald and Goofy to spin in while hitting the Heartless. The three then combine and twirl around together to perform a final attack. Sora transforms his Keyblade into an orange and yellow weapon with lightning coming from it. It then twirls about and transforms into a white pegasus and chariot throwing out lightning bolts at the Heartless as it rides about in mid-air. Perhaps this is a summon acquired from Hercules’ world (like Genie from Agrabah) CABLE TOWN LIBRARY/STUDY We then cut back to Xehanort and Eraqus continuing their game of chess and their conversation. Meanwhile we see a fireplace with the Keyblade mounted on the wall above it when young Xehanort looks at it; this Keyblade is used by Master Xehanort in Birth by Sleep and Dream Drop Distance, and in the young Xehanort says to Braig, “But of all the Keyblades in existence, Master Xehanort's is the most ancient.” We then see Xehanort and Eraqus’ faces as they talk and it ends by showing a white and black chess piece next to each other signifying the two sides; light and dark. The final dialogue is below: The Kingdom Hearts III logo appears, followed by “Now in Development” to conclude the trailer! Hasimoto said afterwards, “So what do you think?”What do you think of the Unreal Engine 4 graphics? Now that Hercules, Twilight Town and Tangled are confirmed, what other worlds do you think will be in KHIII? What do you think of young Xehanort and young Eraqus? What did you like the best: flowmotion, enhanced magic, new outfit, disney attraction summons/other summons, or Keybalde transformations? What are your analysis’s of the trailer?

This time he jumps in the air, falls through the ground like water and then a pirate ship (like in ) splashes out of the ground spinning to destroy the Heartless. It is also looks more vibrant and colourful, but only last a few seconds and disappears into shimmers of light. TWILIGHT TOWN We then cut to Sora, Donald and Goofy running through Twilight Town where the hole which leads to the Mansion is (like in the and ). Sora performs a Blizzard spell at Shadows, Soldiers and Large Body Heartless (from the first Kingdom Hearts game) then jumps in the air and spirals down (with blue light twirling around) onto the Heartless. Sora bounces off the wall and twirls round Heartless (like Flowmotion in Dream Drop Distance). Sora once again raises his Keyblade and summons three luminous tee-cups for him, Donald and Goofy to spin in while hitting the Heartless. The three then combine and twirl around together to perform a final attack. Sora transforms his Keyblade into an orange and yellow weapon with lightning coming from it. It then twirls about and transforms into a white pegasus and chariot throwing out lightning bolts at the Heartless as it rides about in mid-air. Perhaps this is a summon acquired from Hercules’ world (like Genie from Agrabah) CABLE TOWN LIBRARY/STUDY We then cut back to Xehanort and Eraqus continuing their game of chess and their conversation. Meanwhile we see a fireplace with the Keyblade mounted on the wall above it when young Xehanort looks at it; this Keyblade is used by Master Xehanort in Birth by Sleep and Dream Drop Distance, and in the young Xehanort says to Braig, “But of all the Keyblades in existence, Master Xehanort's is the most ancient.” We then see Xehanort and Eraqus’ faces as they talk and it ends by showing a white and black chess piece next to each other signifying the two sides; light and dark. The final dialogue is below: The Kingdom Hearts III logo appears, followed by “Now in Development” to conclude the trailer! Hasimoto said afterwards, “So what do you think?” What do you think of the Unreal Engine 4 graphics? Now that Hercules, Twilight Town and Tangled are confirmed, what other worlds do you think will be in KHIII? What do you think of young Xehanort and young Eraqus? What did you like the best: flowmotion, enhanced magic, new outfit, disney attraction summons/other summons, or Keybalde transformations? What are your analysis’s of the trailer? Write your comments below or analysis’s in the creative media section and possibly get featured on the KH13 Community Twitter Page!

Old Kingdom Hearts III footage appears in Sony's E3 2015 intro
Toominator posted an article in Kingdom Hearts News
During Sony's E3 2015 press conference, Sony opened the show with a short montage of upcoming PS4 games. Among the games that were shown in the montage was none other than Kingdom Hearts III. If nothing else, this means that Kingdom Hearts III is still alive and well, and it could mean that we have more Kingdom Hearts III news to look forward to in Square Enix's conference. Below is an image from the montage, which shows Sora gliding through the air as he is about to change into the new Kingdom Hearts III engine graphics from the announce trailer: What do you make of this? Still think Kingdom Hearts will be mentioned in some capacity at this year's E3? Let us know in the comments! -

1. Mass Effect 4: Just bought the original trilogy and im up to Mass Effect 3. Great series with excellent story, choice system, and combat. Space exploration is amazing too. Can't wait to see the new main character and setting 2. Deus Ex Mankind Divided: Human revolution is still to this day one of my favorite titles. The stealth system, choice system, graphics, combat, and setting were all well done. Adam Jensen is a badass character too 3. Star Wars Battlefront: I am a huge battlefield fan and seeing how DICE will blend star wars with FPS elements is going to be exciting. 4. Kingdom Hearts 3: No surprise here lol. I joined KH13 a few months ago to catch up on all the KH3 news and talk to other fans who are excited about the game as i am. This one will be my main focus at this years E3 5. The Last Guardian: Another one that i have been looking forward to for a while now. Like FFXV, this game has been in development hell. If all the rumors are true, Last Guardian will be shown at this years E3 at the Sony press conference. Its about time it got officially announced. Shadow of the Colossus was amazing and i am super excited to see Team Ico's artistic genius on PS4 6. New Jak and Daxter ???: Hoping Naughty Dog surprises us with a Reboot or a new game in the franchise. Unlikely since they are devoting all their resources to Uncharted 4 but one can only hope 7. FF7 Remake for PS4???: Just read Sora96's thread on Siliconera's report. If Square Enix actually announces this at their press conference, the whole internet will explode. Everyone has been looking forward to this since that Tech demo was shown back on PS3. Me being a huge Final Fantasy fan, this is also one of my most anticipated titles IF Square Enix decides to announce it Thats about all i can think about off the top of my head. What about you guys? What are you excited about at E3?

Microsoft E3 Bingo! Okay, ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the first Bingo game of the conference. Here are the rules: Visit the original E3 Bingo Thread to see the overall rules and blank bingo cards. Post your board for this conference (using spoiler tags) WELL before the conference starts, so I know no changes were made. As you watch the conference, cross off your board (I suggest using red X's in Photoshop or MS paint) as things are announced If/When you get a BINGO, post the updated board (with the items crossed off) into this thread. Based on timestamps, I will determine the winner. You can watch Microsoft's conference on YouTube or on Twitch (with live commentary and real-time chat). Microsoft's conference starts at 9:30am PDT, 12:30pm EST. I'll post my board here (because I assume I will be the only one playing...)

On Saturday, May 30 2015, the floor plan for E3 2015 was released. The floor plan details where each company will have booths set up for those attending the conference in person. Thanks to a member of the NeoGAF forums, the layout can be seen here: Notice anything interesting? It seems as though Square Enix and Disney have booths right next to each other at this year's conference! It may not seem like much, but it could be great for speculation. What do you think? Is there significance to the Disney and Square Enix booths being next to each other? Let us know what you think in the comments.

We're getting a clearer image of Square Enix's plans for E3 as the calendar moves closer to June 16, where Square Enix will be holding their E3 2015 press conference. Thanks to NeoGAF user Nirolak, we've learned that Square Enix will be announcing several new games during their E3 press conference. According to a Square Enix corporate website, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (which was announced in April 2015) and "several other additional titles" will be "announced" during the conference. It is possible that the several other titles are simply referring to the other websites on the results briefing slides, but we also have to consider the possibility of any surprise announcements. What titles are you hoping our friends at Square Enix will announce at the coming E3 event? Could they be referring to the official overseas announcement for Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ, or perhaps something else? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

UPDATE: Square Enix have decided to move the timing of their E3 conference by one hour. They will now be presenting at 10:00am USA PDT on June 16, 2015 (note that the day of their conference is unchanged). It is speculated that the change was made after Nintendo's announcement that they will be presenting at the same time. Square Enix have announced that they will be hosting a dedicated conference at E3 2015. The conference, which starts at 10AM (USA PDT time) on Tuesday June 16, 2015 (the day that E3 2015 begins) will be available to see online, livestreamed on both YouTube and Twitch. It is currently unknown if the Kingdom Hearts series will be featured at all, but with this being Square Enix's first dedicated E3 conference in many years, and with a Kingdom Hearts expansion to smartphones announcement teased for the near future (along with other mysterious announcements), there is a considerable chance that we may see something.
