Kingdom Hearts 3D/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

* I honestly have no problem with Sora and Riku going back to their old outfits. However, what annoys me is how they look younger, akin to how they look in the first game. Meanwhile, this game is said to take place AFTER [[KH 2]]. Compare the look of Riku in the trailer to how he looked in [[KH 2]]. Big difference. Since this game takes place after [[KH 2]], so why not use Sora and Riku's [[KH 2]] look, or at least keep them older looking?

** Traverse town shouldn't really exist anymore, either, since it was made of world-shards of destroyed worlds, as I recall, and even if it did exist it should be long-crumbled and aabandoned. My guess? Plot stuff involving diaries, virtual worlds, journies to the center of the mind, memories, yadda yadda. Wait for the game to come out.

** In the 2/23/12 issue of Famitsu, a screenshot has Yen Sid explain it: Yen Sid: I will have you go back to Destiny Islands, as it was when it was swallowed by darkness and sleeping. So presumably their appearance matches their KH ages because that's where they start in the dreams.

* If the Realm of Sleep contains worlds not fully restored, how did Traverse Town become part of the dreamworld? It was intact by the end of Kingdom Hearts 1, and its keyhole was sealed, which should have prevented any heartless from destroying it.

* A new world is [[Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers|The Three Musketeers]] [[Captain Obvious|(Disney version)]]. What doesn't make sense is that Mickey, Donald, and Goofy (supposedly) never leave the Realm of Light. In one of the trailers, you can see Donald, Goofy, safe-ish to assume Mickey is off-camera, in Yen Sid's tower with Sora and Riku. And it's sort-of-said by Yen Sid in the same trailer that only Sora and Riku enter the Realm of Sleep. Yet here they are, in a world of their own.

** They're not the real Mickey, Donald, and Goofy. They're the Dreamworld's versions. The ''real'' ones are still in the Realm of Light {{spoiler|confronting Maleficient at Disney Castle.}}

* So, Neku's in here. Along with Shiki, Beat, Rhyme and Joshua. They're all back in the Game, too. Why's that? Would this be a kind of "TWEWY events set in a parallel dimension, and crossovered with KH" sort of thing?

** Why don't you wait and play the game and find out?

* Why is it every time Xion is seen in these trailers fans go crazy? 358/2 explained what she was and that she cannot come back without F-ing up Sora royally. I understand the conflict that her presence will present in Sora for this game, I just want to know why fans honestly think she can come back?

** Because it's Kingdom Hearts? Because we're dealing with Disney characters, the [[Power of Friendship]], and a heart shaped moon that's said to be able to create an entire world, and absolutely anything can happen at this point?

** Though Xion's existence in Days was causing problems for Sora, that may not be the case if she returned. As it stands, thanks to Namine in coded, Mickey knows that she existed, and based on Roxas' use of plural pronouns in the trailer, he presumably remembers her as well.

*** Thank you for giving the most unbiased answer regarding this question. Although to question your point further, wasn't it clearly stated in Days that Xion's existence was preventing him from being whole? I cannot see any logical route in having Xion "come back" without there being complications with Sora as her whole being is centered around his memories.

*** I think it may be possible for all of them to co-exist at the same time. Before Sora was put to sleep in COM, him, Roxas and Xion were all pretty fine till Sora's memories were screwed around with and said stated events needed to happen. If they could do it then, why not again? Then again, this game IS taking place in Dream World's and based on the recent trailer the {{spoiler|Xehanort's are all gathering together, looking pretty stabe and fine. But, once again, based on that trailer, Sora is going to apparently be, as you said, royally [[Mind Rape|screwed with]] (and suffer a [[Heroic BSOD]], but it's implied that that has to deal with [[Mind Hive|EVERYONE]] inside Sora (and the [[Magnificent Bastard|bastards]] [[I Have Many Names|known]] [[Legacy Character|as the]] [[Complete Monster|Xehanort's]]), not just Xion.}}

* How is it that the unknown resembles a young master Xehanort? When did he have time to make another incarnation? Do they seriously expect us to believe that he could have done that while being stuck in New-Xehanort, Ansem Seeker of Darkness, and assumingly Xemnas?

** Unknown/Mysterious Figure is {{spoiler|Young Master Xehanort}}. It's unknown if (spoiler warning) {{spoiler|Terranort is back along with the rest of the new Organization XIII (or should I say--mind the pun--Orga'''nort'''zation XIII), but Master Xehanort notes something along the lines of one of the seven hearts of light being in his possession, so it's very well possible that he was referring to Terranort, who could possibly be one the remaining and yet revealed six members of the new Organization.}}

 

** It was in Dive Mode, too. Maybe the devs thought, since it's such a long way to go to get to him anyway, they'd make it easy?

* If Master Xehanort returned from the defeat of Ansem SoD and Xemnas, what about Terra? His heart and Xehanort's inhabited the same body when the Heartless and Nobody were created. Does this mean Terra has regained his body?

* Probably due to the lack of a proper translation, but what exactly ''is'' {{spoiler|Young Xehanort's}} deal? {{spoiler|Is he an alternate timeline Xehanort, a [[Stable Time Loop]] Xehanort, a Xehanort from an alternate timeline converted ''into'' a [[Stable Time Loop]]?}} Various places (even on this site) say varying things.

** It's a bit hard (and confusing), but the gist of it is below:

Somewhere along all their scheming and plotting, [[Ansem So D]] traveled back in time and found Young Xehanort, both influencing him to become Master Xehanort in the first place, AND travel forward in time to help all his future selves. So yeah, Xehanort was more-or-less responsible for his OWN [[Start of Darkness]], thanks to ample use of [[Stable Time Loop]]. }}

** {{spoiler|Ansem didn't influence Young Xehanort in any way. All Ansem did was send him on a journey throughout time to retrieve all the incarnations of Xehanort, both fused and splintered, to prepare failsafes in case Xemnas plan to turn all the [[Organization XIII]] containers for Master Xehanort's heart (Which he did; only Isa and Braig were turned.) Young Xehanort is going to return back to his time after helping his older self forge the X-Blade by fighting the seven lights and will have no recollection of events that happened outside his time. Thus, Ansem did NOT create a [[Stable Time Loop]]; Young Xehanort is still going to leave the islands and turn evil because the past cannot be changed.}}

* So Yoshiya "Joshua" Kiryu tell me why, {{spoiler|O why Shiki is in Eri's appearance?}}

** Presumably for 2 reasons:

Her current appearance is the most [[Male Gaze|eye-catching]], for both the audience and everyone else. }}

* So. Could anybody PLEASE explain to me WHAT the deal with Xehanort's plan {{spoiler|to assemble 13 Dark Hearts and 7 Lights}} is?! {{spoiler|So, basically, he needs 13 hearts of pure Darkness and 7 hearts of pure light to create a PERFECT x-Blade, one that won't shatter on the first-best oportunity, like Venitas' did. So far, so good. However, it's been stated SEVERAL times that the only pure-light hearts are the 7 Princesses of Heart, who were part of the first X-Blade too, meaning that he will NEED those to combat his Organization of Clones, everything else wouldn't work. OK, OK, that still makes sense. HOWEVER, suddenly, he claims he was also trying to gather "7 Protectors of Light", keyblade wielders, to start the Keyblade war with. OK, OK, now, what did I miss? If he gets his X-Blade by just sending his Organization XIII.2 to merge with the Princesses, why would he want 7 Keyblade Wielders to OPPOSE him?! He sure as hell can't forge the X-Blade for them, Riku and Lea are partially Darkness Users themselves and even if they weren't, it's CLEAR none of them are hearts of pure light, not even Mickey or Sora. So are the 7 Protectors of Light meant to serve as bodyguards for the Princesses? The Secret Ending heavily implies this to be the case. But why would Xehanort WANT bodyguards for them? Why would he WANT them to be protected when he comes to take them? And if there is a reason, why would Yen Sid play right into the plan by assembling the 7 Protectors of Light himself when Xehanort fails at it?! Why?! Why do it HAVE to be 7, can't they just, like, just have 6 and place two princesses under the protection of one? I'm sure Riku could pull that off, he's become pretty overkill during the game. And why, in Light's sake, did they decide to make Kairi a Protector of Light herself?! Is she supposed to be her own bodyguard?! With only a few months of Keyblade experience?! Nice job, playing the Cosmic Keystone right into [[Organization XIII]].2's hands then, Yen Sid!}} ...Uhh... My brain... it hurts... X-x

** Since there's a lot questions, I'll start with a few at once.

{{spoiler|'''Why does Xehanort want bodyguards for the 7 Princess's?'''}} Considering Master Xehanort's rigged use of [[Crazy Prepared]], [[The Plan]], [[Xanatos Speed Chess]], and other tropes... he's probably gonna have plans for them, for his own amusement, while still being able to take the 7 Princess's. {{spoiler|Plus, he'll need the 7 Protecters for when he forges his perfect X-blade, so he can see what a 2nd Keyblade War looks like}}, you know, [[For Science!]]. }}

* So what did happen to Shiki before Riku run into {{spoiler|Young Xehanort?}}
