I have viewed most of the Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+ material that can be found on here, seeing as I have not managed to lay my hands on a genuine copy for myself. I have played through Kingdom Hearts 2 since I got it on March 28th, 2006, and have beaten it within a couple of days on Proud Mode. I unlocked the secret trailer, and became one of the first to view it.

I began to understand the story and how everything came to play in the story a lot earlier than most of my friends, and quickly became the Kingdom Hearts Guru where I was known. That’s total rubbish, but I’d like to believe I was!

Anyways, I thought I had seen all there was for me to see, and quickly pushed all other attempts aside to learn more. Unfortunately, I didn’t take Final Mix into account, because I had come to understand that it would contain no new content at all, let alone the surprising additional cut scenes and “Part 2″ of the secret ending. After surveying the content on kingdomhearts3.net, I have made it another chore to understand the story some more, and maybe piece together what is to be expected in Kingdom Hearts 3. So, if you don’t want any spoilers at all, then I dont know why you clicked on this at all, but please leave now, as I will basically be spilling the general story line, as I know it, to Kingdom Hearts 3.

Now I am going to cover what we know already. From what we have witnessed in the secret trailer, and which is the only leads we can have so far to KH3, is what we all know so far to be the “Keyblade War”. We have seen the three Knights and we have seen the mysterious bald dude, with his “heartless” like counterpart engage in battle. We have viewed the keyblades scattered across a barren wasteland, and we have seen “Birth by Sleep”. Also, some of the subjects in Kingdom Hearts 2 have become very interesting and may play an important part in Kingdom Hearts 3, just as Kingdom Hearts did for Kingdom Hearts 2. Some of these factors are the “Room of Sleep”, mentioned in one of the cutscenes from Final Mix, and Xemnas, the leader of Organization XIII, connection with that room. From the cutscenes, it has been told that the “Room of Sleep” is infact, in the depths of the Lab where Ansem the Great created the majority of his experiments. It has been come to known that Xemnas would occasionally wander to the Room of Sleep and perhaps “Sleep”. He has also been caught talking to someone else within the Room of Sleep, when it is clear that he was the only one to enter into the room, so there is obviously someone totally unknown to the other members of the Organization who communicates with Xemnas, leaving his intentions to lie somewhere other than the unification of the Organization XIII. Also, the beginning to Kingdom Hearts 2, that sums up Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories in a trailer also plays an important part that I had just begun to piece into the theory today.

Now I will start to place in updates what I believe is the story of Kingdom Hearts 3. Remember, this is only a theory, and does not mean what I say is written in stone. Anything can happen in Kingdom Hearts 3 and can simply and totally disprove my theory, because we just don’t know for sure yet. I will in bullet form, continue to make updates on this page once I discover them, and edit or delete any previous ones in case any dead on predictions I make totally contradict another prediction. I hope you enjoy this, and take my ideas into consideration. If you have an opinion, find something that doesnt make sense, or just want to correct me on my facts; then please by all means comment. The more I know, The more you will know.

More Theories on KH3:

  • I believe the old man in the Final Mix secret ending, is in fact Xehanhort (Ansem). This being based on how he is wearing exactly what Ansem wears, plus he has distinguishable deep, yellow/orange eyes (Ansem’s most famous feature.)
  • The reason why he is older looking is because the Door to the Light has withered away most of his power.
  • The Room of Sleep and the Room of Awakening are connected.
  • Xemnas uses the Room of Sleep to restore power to Xehanhort (Ansem) and “awaken” him.
  • Time Travel is in play, seeing as the Room of Awakening is somewhere during the era of the Keyblade War.
  • Xehanhort is the general cause of the Keyblade War.
  • Xehanhort is seeking the Master of the keyblade, needing it in order to open something.
  • The Chasers, I believe, are the new form of enemies in the game.
  • The Knight that gets frozen is in fact Roxas, but in a different time line.
  • Roxas in the alternate time line goes by the name of Ven, and has no other recollection of who he truly is.
  • The Enigmatic Soldier mentions “Aqua…Ven…” before he battles Sora, leading me to believe Roxas’ name to be Ven.
  • Aqua is the blue haired female knight shown in the Final Mix Trailer.
  • The Enigmatic soldier is still unknown, but is surely not Sora.
  • In the Room of Sleep cutscene in Final Mix, there is armor lying in front of Xemnas as he enters into the Room of Sleep. Upon further inspection, the armor is Roxas’.
  • Roxas might also have a connection between the two rooms, and it could be possible to how he would’ve gotten into the Keyblade War.
