Ven was from that time as well. Judging by the reports it seems like they all jumped forward in time at some point, but wound up losing their memories in the process.
Marluxia and Larxene were "somebodies" (aka complete human beings, not Heartless or Nobodies) in the past and through some magical time travel/possibly alternate timeline hijinks, they survived the Keyblade War and at some point were sent to the future somehow (seems like Maleficent might have something to do with it). This time travel or alternate timeline hopping or whatever magic apparently isn't without its consequences because Marluxia, Larxene, Ventus & whoever else got to this more modern timeline (the mystery girl mentioned by Axel & Saix, who could be Skuld, another KHUX character) all lost their memories. All these characters being from a time before the first Keyblade War is WHY Xehanort recruited them to the Organization in the first place. He's obsessed with what happened around the Keyblade War and knows Marluxia, Larxene & some of the others who weren't Ansem's apprentices/science fellows (or guards at Radiant Garden) are from that time. So that's why he recruited them into the Organization XIII so that maybe they could help him unravel the mysteries of the Keyblade War that he so desperately wants to know.. Unlike has been previously thought, retcon or planned forever, they aren't just some random people strong enough to maintain human form with their Nobodies.
Org XIII members in KHII were Nobodies. So they had lost their hearts & only a shell was left. In other words, when someone is turned into a Heartless, they leave behind a nobody. Now, when you release the heart that a Heartless has stolen and destroy the Nobody, the body & heart can rejoin each other again and be recompleted into normal human beings. In KHIII, we see some OG Org XIII members as human beings (Ienzo/Zexion, Lexaeus and Xaldin/Dilan(?)) and the guys who are on the bad side are all Nobodies again because Xehanort wanted to infuse a part of himself into them and that works better if there is no pesky OG heart of a person inside that body anymore.
Just beat the game, what a great ride. Going by Verum Rex and the secret ending, am I finally getting Stella in a game after waiting so long??
You're conveniently forgetting how each Org member has an X placed in their name.
remember how it was actually a method of figuring out where sora was in the sleeping realm and literally nothing else. As explained IN DDD.
Srsly dude, if you're gonna complain about something, complain about something worth complaining about.
edit: outside of that, X (or chi) is just a common motif throughout the series. With the org X's being a motif in reference to the pieces needed for the X-blade
Call me crazy, but am I overthinking the fact that Sora's pirate hat has an X on it and Luxord just so happens to always know where he is :V
Okay, I'm confused about what exactly you're talking about. As in, being Norted? The only X thing in DDD is the tracking device, and that's all it is. Just magic shit that doesn't really need an explanation.
Yeah thats the issue. Its a dumb magic thing that didn't need to exist.
By explaining that they track via X... well now that creates a question of how they keep tracking without X?
Dude if you start questioning the semantics of the magic in KH, regardless of whatever game you're looking at, you're gonna be here a long time lol
KH3 even calls out Merlin for being able to break the rules of time travel with his magic for reasons.
While I agree with the second half I disagree exceptionally with the first.
So first of all. Aqua Ven and Terra were never "X'd" up. Secondly The "X" is added for Nobodies. Roxas - X = Sora. See how the non nobodies like Vanitas don't have X's?
They tracked Sora in DDD because he had an X on his shirt it was a sigil set by Ansem to do so. In KH3 Sora essentially tracks them, he is guided to each world with an Org member causing shit. You are mixing up things.
I like how you are complaining simple because you didn't actually listen to anything said in the games.

Woozies seems fully aware that they're not norted and x in the name doesn't mean anything for the sigil, all the rest of you are the ones adding in the confusion over what "x'd up" means
They're talking about the recusant sigil exclusively
They're talking about the recusant sigil exclusively
Ah yes. You refer to the best track in the game, I take it?
CRYING LIKE A SEAL IN THE PACIFIC.
this is the best track in the game, but I was talking about the music that accompanies the cutscene before the saix boss fight.
It doesn't have a title yet, but people call it "Oscurita di Xehanort".

Oh I remember the original Roxas' theme but 'twas it... if there was something else or a new version I hope it gets dropped as well. ^^''
Look at this edgelord over here.Somehow......
Yeah wow what a garbage narrative. lol
Bizkit currently in the end game for level 1 crit.
The trio xehanort fight is absolute hell as expected lmao
The trio xehanort fight is absolute hell as expected lmao
If they ever do a data battle equivalent of the armored Xehanort fight, they need to get rid of the water fight. lol
Idk if it would fix or make it worse but I'll take it over that underwater section and I like The Caribbean as my fav world
I just found out that Naminé scene in the Final World was missable. That really surprises me considering it is the only thing that hints at Lingering Will's upcoming return and makes Naminé's return at the end feel less random and organic (you also had the cutscene with Repliku telling Sora to use the doll for her but yeah).
I learned yesterday that you can use a first person view while in the teacups. Looked pretty good.
That dragon sequence in KH2's ending is so bad imo. Conceptually its cool but I prefer a more grounded final battle. The last phase against Ansem in KH is even worse, it's not fun having to fly.
Tokyo is the setting of Verus Rex. Sora landed in Shibuya, and Riku landed in Shinjuku. The same locations can be seen in the Verus Rex trailer. Might still see TWEWY stuff anyway, but I dunno if it's a TWEWY world/setting, or a Verus Rex world/setting.
Or both, Verum Rex could be set in the same world as TWEWY.
My idea/point for the next kh
1 it will not be a numbered title, but an introductory spin off
2No space with gummiship
3But, an open world world with elements, FF and TWEWY
4Main protagonist yozora
5Main party, playable characters sora riku and yozora
6Main world history Mix between the plot of versus 13 and TWEWY
7Together with yozora, Sora and Riku will live a minor parallel adventure to act as a prologue for kh4
8In this open world world there will be portals / pages of the book of prophecies to enter some disney worlds
9Disney worlds can only be completed /visited with riku and sora
10 to advance in the main story you will have to complete the various Disney portals
11greater plot point the master of the masters will be responsible for "the portals to the disney worlds that block yozora" the master has organized all this (distribution of the pages of the book of the prophecies, jammed yozora in a reality from which he can not escape without the help of sora and riku) to allow sora to return to the real world, in order to allow sora to be usable for his plans and have a passage through which to follow sora and riku and reunite with his apprentices

It's 100% TWEWY in some form, the 104 is way too distinctive
Maybe, though I don't think so. Verum Rex seems to have a big digitization aesthetic going on that wasn't really there in TWEWY, or it could be the same world as TWEWY but on a higher plane than the Reaper's Game.
Data and digitization seems to be a major plotting point for the series going forward now it seems. Since all the dandelions are in a datascape version of the World, and Brain being an outside element that wasn't supposed to be a union leader stating that he plans on being the virus that reprograms destiny. Also Brain looking a lot like the red haired dude in the Verum Rex trailer. (this is assuming Brain is the fake leader, and not Ventus or Laurium)
Dunno how they'll eventually slingshot Ventus, Skuld, Laurium, Elrena, and presumably Luxord and Demyx's somebodies into the future though. Dunno if Ephemer got sent to the future or not either.

They are, except on different planes of existance. Sora Dead Riku Alive looking for Sora, likely...
Yep could well be! But that was the case in TWEWY too.
Whichever direction they go I'm really excited. I've just finished KH3 and I loved it, my only issue was the 'everybody's here' style grand finale that is always a bit much. I can see the next story as being more approachable for a newcomer.
I've seen other people mention this too but how can anyone dislike this minigame :P?
I find it to be the best one and I highscored it without looking at any guide.
I just observed the flan's reactions and movements in order to find the correct moment to take the shot.
Some flans don't give enough points even if you took the shot correctly but the trail & error is still pretty minimal.
Finally beat this hulking beast. My immediate thoughts:
1) everything after the last Disney World was nothing but interminable cutscenes followed by brief pauses with combat and in one case a delightful Super Mario Galaxy-esque world where you pick Soras up. It had horrible pacing cramming so much shit in this last part. You shouldn't have to go in with still sooooo much plot threads still unresolved.
2) The music. Shimomura outdid herself. Just incredible.
3) best Disney worlds in the franchise are all here. Yes there are less here than in KH2 but you can fit in 3 or 4 of those worlds in on of KH3's and even the worst one is still many many times better than the best Disney World from any of the previous games.
4) Kairi SUCKS! I was waiting the entire game for her to develop some personality and agency. Her training to be a key weirder showed promise but after spending the whole game offscreen training *yoink* she's back to being a damsel and gets unceremoniously killed for the sake of the plot and literal man pain. Also is this girl allergic to pants or shorts? This game flirted more than once with almost showing us her underwear had it not been for some clever camera angles and/or very precisely placed bent legs like in that one scene near the end where she and Sora are flying. Small tidbit but this is a Disney game and she's like 14, c'mon Square!
5) I'm not the biggest KH fan at all and even my cold heart melted many times with so much endearing characters and charm. This game just oozes so much of it. Sora is impossible to hate and Haley Joel Osment still pulls him off impeccably.
6) They better cool it with the spin offs come the next saga, and please don't take 17 years to conclude it. And please for the love of God if the next saga features 5 versions of a single character again I'm so going to check myself out.
7) that secret movie: did I hear a hint of FFXV's theme right around where they show the Tokyo government building that looks a lot like where Noctis lived with his dad? I'm new to this thread so I'm asking, has it been speculated here yet that it may be hinting at KH4 featuring a more Final Fantasy-esque world?
9/10 easily the best game in the franchise. It did everything it promised out to do. They just don't make games like this anymore. With so much varied content, mini games, and all wrapped in a very non GaaS game that made me feel like I was playing a PS2 game in the best possible way.

Yeah that was definitly intentional fake Somnus (Versus/XV theme) but I dont neccesarioy think it will be about Final Fantasy, at least not XV for sure.
