The Future of Kingdom Hearts
This section has to deal with past information that might affect the next game.
The night Sora received the keyblade it was stated by Nomura that was not suppose to receive it, but that it was suppose to be Riku’s. This is also backed in the game with Jiminy’s Journal. If you were to look under Riku in it it says that Riku is the True Keyblade master. Now this is not to say that Sora would not have recieved, but merely to say that at that time he wasn’t suppose to receive it. The reason why Sora did receive it, stated by Nomura, is because at the time Riku had already given himself over to the darkness. Now your probably asking yourself “what does this have to do with Kingdom Hearts 3 or the new series?” Let me answer that for you. In Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+ you can battle the tallest knight Terra. Just before the battle he shares some dialog with you.
“Aqua… Ven… Keyblade… who are you? I can feel it… we have met before… it was when… No… it isn’t you… It isn’t you that I have chosen… Why is it not him… Xe… ha… nort… is that you? Xeha… nort… Xehanort!”
Here you learn the name of the other two knights and that Terra chose somebody for something. Now this could possibly mean that Terra chose Riku to originally to receive the Kingdom Key. My guess is that the fact that Riku was suppose to originally receive the keyblade is going to have something to do with Kingdom Hearts 3.
It is also worthy to the Nobody Xigbar. Because from him you learn an interesting fact. Just before the Sora’s boss fight with Xigbar he says to Sora “That out of all the ones before you, you are the weakest.” Now from this dialog we learn that Xigbar has fought other Keyblade Wielders before. This to has been confirmed by Nomura. Now when using the term weakest Xigbar means that Sora is novice when using a Keyblade. We can see this when we fight Terra. But right now this is a kind of moot point. The point of this entire conversation is that we learn that A) there are other keyblade wielders and B) that Xigbar not only fought them but defeated them as well. So the question remains, who were these other keyblade wielders. Now from the secret videos we learn that there are in fact four or five other keyblade wielders. First there are the three Knights Terra, Aqua, and Ven and the Bald Guy and the Dark Knight (the reason I say four is because it is yet unknown if the Dark Knight is a separate entity or just the heartless/nobody form of the Bald Guy). Now Xigbar could be referring to one or more of these wielders. I should also note that in a scene from Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix + we see Aqua’s armor and Keyblade.
Now this section has to deal with the new series.
Now Nomura has stated that the Kingdom Hearts game to come out will be part of a new series. In the Another reports he mentions that there are four missing adventures to the Kingdom Hearts series. Mickey’s time in the Dark Realm seeking: Kingdom Key: Dark Side, Riku’s adventures in between Chain of Memories, Roxas adventure with the Organization, and Xehanort’s Past. Now it was hinted at the next game would be about Xehanort’s past. You can come to reasonable conclusion from the Birth by Sleep video that you will probably be playing with Mickey and that this game is set in the past. Also the case of the videos comes into question here. The first video that you get at the end of Kingdom Hearts 2 shows a section of an Ansem report having to deal with the keyblade. Then shows Terra standing on the dragon that Xehanort road on. He then looks around two reveal Aqua and Ven. He jumps off the dragon and the dragon disappears and they walk to Sora’s, Riku’s, and Mickey’s keyblades and they pick them up. Then they look into the distance to reveal that a fourth figure is approaching. Then the words Master of Keyblades, the Lost Two, Memory of Xehanort, Chasers, and Keyblade War. Then it says “It all began with…Birth by Sleep.” Now this shows that the Birth by Sleep video happened before the first video. I believe that the first video is in fact meant to be a preview for the Kingdom Hearts 3 game. Now the second video depicts the Knights fighting a Bald Man and a Dark Knight both who wield keyblades. I believe this is meant to be a preview for the in the new series. The first game will probably revolve around Xehanort’s past (aka Memories of Xehanort) and the origins of the keyblade. You will probably playing as Mickey in this one. This will some how tie into Kingdom Hearts 3, much like Sub - Zero and Mortal Kombat 4.
This section has to deal with the Lost Two.
Now we were given a interesting piece text that gives a little insight in to who the Lost Two are and about who Terra is. This piece of text is
“Master Xehanort’s Avenger, his name is Terra.”
“Not yet awakened, he is connected to those two.”
Now this is interesting because Terra expresses much hatred for Xehanort after you fight him and in the text before battle if you choose to battle him again. You can reasonably assume that Terra and Xehanort use to be allies and that Xehanort was a good guy. Now someone on here referenced Xehanort to also mean thunder in latin if you rearrange the letters in his name with out the X in it. Now I wouldn’t have used the Power Ranger to connect this, but I have come to find that there is truth in what this person said. By rearranging the letters to form the word thonare, the more common spelling of the word in tonare. Nomura has stated that Xehanort’s becomes Another and No Heart when the X is removed. The point id that we can assume that Xehanort was a good guy a one time, but for whatever reason turned his back on the light and became a bad guy. Now the connection to the Lost Two comes from the second piece of text in which it says that Terra is not awakened and that he is connected to two people. Now the only people we have seen him with are Aqua and Ven. Another interesting piece of information is that you can only fight Terra after you have beat the game. At least ever single guide I have read about the has said that. Anyways, now Aqua and Ven are not present in Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix + because, are alluded two just before the fight with Terra, and we see Aqua’s armor and keyblade in the Room of Sleep. So is safe to assume that the Lost Two are Aqua and Ven.
This section has to deal with the Keyblade War.
Now Nomura has stated that Keyblade War was a way for him to tell us that there were fights between Keyblade Wielders. Also in the Ansem report in the beginning of the Gathering video it states that the Keyblade saved the world and that it wrought chaos upon the world. So it is safe to assume that these legends refer to the Keyblade War. This war was probably waged across the different worlds. Which is why the walls separating them were put up. We are led to believe that passage was possible between worlds do to Kiari’s grandmother’s story. Now Nomura has stated that this story is for the most part a child’s bedtime story, but he also mentioned that there is a small fraction of history in it. The Keyblade War would also explain the conflicting legends across the worlds about the keyblade it’s self. Now as for the Master of Keyblades.

Ahhh…Taz…your powers of perception astound me!!!…but really that was good…very perceptive I didn’t notice any of those differences, and what you’re saying now makes perfect sense, thanks for clearifying for me…the endless theories and guesses are now swirling through my head…but hey toward the end of the vid, as terra removes his helmet his eyes seem to change from blue to yellow, what do you think that means???

V: I do after I post and if I had made a mistake i generally correct it. Sometimes I don’t though.

Spanish Fan: Ah, well all you basically said is tuff I think I said my article, with exception of the stuff about King Mickey and Yen Sid which I should have put in the post above. Ah well I haven’t got anything to prove or disprove with this. So ok.

We can be sure that the events shown in the Birth By Sleep Videdo occur in some past moment because we can see that the “Dark Knight” is wearing the same suit (or a mostly similar one) that Riku wears when Ansem takes over him. but it has not the same symbol of the artificial Heartless made by Xehanort in the Hollow Bastion but another one. I think it means that the Heartless have not yet been created at the moment in which the battle takes place. Another reason for thinking it’s occurring in the past is that Mickey wears the Keyblade Yen Sid gives to Sora in Kingdom Hearts. It should mean that Mckey has just finished his magic training and that he has also been taught some fighting skills to use the keyblade. So, does Yen Sid have the necessary knowledge on how to use the keyblade? Perhaps he was a Chosen Wielder of the Kyblade before his pupil Mickey and then he “chose” him just like Terra did with “someone”. And I suppose now that the Bad Guy did chose the Dark knight to wear the keyblade. And now, referring to Riku’s suit again, perhaps the Dark Knight is no other than Xehanort himself. Now realise that the Bad Guy wears the same clothes that Xehanort wore in KH I. If the last lines are true, then the Bad Guy will pass his task and his powers to Xehanort, who will asume his appearance. Or perhaps he will betray his master and then steal his identity just like he would do with Ansem the Wise some years before. So, when the Three Knights die, they chose three new wielders to receive their keyblades, and when terra sees the keyblade sora wields, he then realises that something has gone wrong and that the one he chose, riku, has not received his own keyblade but another one. perhaps sora was the one chosen by Ven, as he seems to be mostly identicall to Roxas, who must be considered some kind of alter-ego for Sora. But then Aqua should have the same appearance as Naminé… That could perhaps be the explanation for Roxas wearing to keyblades instead of one, perhaps he is both Sora’s nobody and an anterior chosen one… well, i don’t know. The theory of the Masters and the Pupils has much of Star Wars, i know, jaja…

Some_KH_Fan: I believe that the new series is going to be set in the past. I believe that you’ll be playing as King Mickey and that the game will be about Xehanort’s past and the origins of the keyblade. I think it will tie in with Kingdom Hearts 3, nuch of the way Sub-Zero did with Mortal Kombat 4.
Metal_Chocobo: I do know that is seems like these two videos go hand in hand, but there are several differences between the two videos that you’ll notice if you watch carefully. These differences are as follows:
1. The person mysterious person walking up to you in “The Gathering” video has his arms down by his side, the Old Man in “Birth by Sleep” video is walking towards you with his arms behind his back.
2. The Knights capes in the two videos are different. In “The Gahtering” video the Knight’s capes are all different colors. Terra’s is Black, Ven’s is white, and Aqua’s is a pale blue or purple. In “Birth by Sleep” the capes are all white.
3. The Sora’s, Riku’s, and King Mickey’s keyblades just happen to disappear in “Birth by Sleep”.
4. The text at the end of “The Gahtering” says this “It all began with…Birth by Sleep”. The name of the second video is “Birth by Sleep”.
5. At the begining of “the Gathering”, Terra is standing on top of the dragon that Xemnas rides to get to Kingdom Hearts. Now if it all began with “birth by sleep”, why is the dragon there?
These are the main reason why I say that “Birth by Sleep” happened before “The Gathering” and why I say they two different previews for two different games.
on 12 Jul 2007 at 5:35 am 24. Metal_Chocobo
yeah…I just watched them again and I’m pretty sure that they are meant to be viewed in sequence like that…
on 12 Jul 2007 at 5:30 am 23. Metal_Chocobo
hey one question…and I only read it once so I may be mistaken, but I think you said that the events in “Birth by Sleep” occurred before those of “The Gathering”…but if you watch “The Gathering” immediately before “Birth by Sleep” you can see that they seem to flow perfectly and the clouded figure at the end of “The Gathering” is revealed to be our “Bald Guy”…I belive…so it would seem that “Birth by Sleep” is instead, a continuation of “The Gathering” because they involve the same characters in the same setting…idk maybe you didn’t notice or maybe I’m wrong…watch them in sequence and let me know me what you think!

Tazimus is’nt the new series like a side quest like the chain that is going to connect kh1-2 with Kh3 like chain of memories(which coincidentally has the word chains in it ku ku ku)
on 12 Jul 2007 at 3:47 am 21. Some_KH_Fan
I think (I dont know why) that they are going to make 6 kh games
I hoper not becuase im gonna be like 30 or 40 if that happens also I hope they end the series while im still alive -_- it would suck to die and be in the still midle of the series
on 12 Jul 2007 at 3:22 am 20. Tazimus Prime
No one k nows if there is going to be another, they are starting a new series however so that should answer your question.
on 12 Jul 2007 at 3:08 am 19. saysay
will there be a next game after the 3rd kingdom hearts? cuz i heard there may b no more after this 3rd kingdom hearts game… i hope they’ll make more!!!
on 12 Jul 2007 at 2:40 am 18. Tazimus Prime
Oh and as for the time zone thing. I think clock is set to like Englands time Zone.
on 12 Jul 2007 at 2:39 am 17. Tazimus Prime
exdeath64: As much fun as that would be, Final Fantasy worlds aren’t gonna happen. Nomura likes to put as little Final Fantasy in the game as possible. Which is part of the reason alot of characters barely resemble their Final Fantasy counter parts. The game isn’t called Final Fantasy: Kingdom Hearts after all.
on 12 Jul 2007 at 2:35 am 16. exdeath64
it is located in hell. i think it has an east coast time. anyway, we need final fantasy worlds! like gaia, blamb garden or whatever the world in VI was called! i would love to stick it to kefka with a keyblade!
on 12 Jul 2007 at 2:23 am 15. Some_KH_Fan
woah where is this websites home because its like 4 hours earlier over here
on 12 Jul 2007 at 2:22 am 14. Some_KH_Fan
Yup that prety much is a satisfying reply
thanks
I maybe the biggest fan in school but I somehow forget Nomura’s words of Kh guidence
on 12 Jul 2007 at 2:11 am 13. Tazimus Prime
Some_KH_Fan: Nomura has said that the knights and current characters are connected, but a blood relation is highly doubtful. I think Terra would have reconized his own son in KH2FM if he was his father. The reason Sora’s father hasn’t been introduced is because he is unimportant to the story. It’s the same with Riku’s parents. Beisdes they never enough time on Destiny Island to actually get to see their parents any ways. So there you go.
on 12 Jul 2007 at 1:37 am 12. Some_KH_Fan
I totally agree with Tazimus Prime on the topic of final fantasy and I agree that everyone should play FF7 at least once in their life for it is the best.
BTW I’ve been thinking about who terra might be and when I saw the pic of him charging with part of his helmet breaking off he kinda loos like sora or related to sora somehow so maybe he could be sora’s father cause we dont ever see or hear him in the island only sora’s mother.
I will gladly take all the back-fire-ing( I cant remember how its written) posts now

KingdomHeartsMASTER: Master of Keyblade could have something to do with Riku and Sora. In the first game Sora was origenally known as the Keyblade Master, but later we learn that Riku was the true Keyblade Master. Master of Keyblade seems to be a title of some sort. It could belong to the one who is to be the leader of the Keyblade wielders. It probably has something to do with the Keyblade War as well, although I’m not too sure on that part. In fact the reason I took it out of the origenal article is because it was giving a little trouble. In any case I have come to one conclusion, I think that the current Master of Keyblade is Terra. I also believe that he origenally chose Riku to be the next, but I think that Sora is going to end up being it.
RoxasTheTrueHalfhart: Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+ hasn’t been released in America. According to Square they origenally had no intentions on releasing it in America, but they are listening to the request for the Final Mix games outside of Japan, and that the we are going to get a big surprise at the end of the year. So if any of the Final Mixes come to America it will at the end of the year or early 2008.

Anybody here Know if they them at Warwick Mall….???

on 11 Jul 2007 at 7:58 pm 8. KingdomheartsMASTER
hey good job on the article Taz. anyone with questions about the next KH game has been answered.
btw:who do you think is the master of keyblades. im stuck on that myself.
on 11 Jul 2007 at 10:59 am 7. Thimien
guys reed this post slowly, trust me it has alot of info that will answer to alot of kh questions, not to meantion anything you didnt know about the game, i think here is a good place to educate your self
Taz, you were allways better at this than me hahaha, its a fully informed article mate congrats
on 11 Jul 2007 at 9:40 am 6. Tazimus Prime
Midbight Rose: Yes there are making a new series. No it isn’t going to be for the PS2. More then likely the new series will be on a hand held system and KH3 will be on the PS3.
TheAssasinof3.0.5: Yes the keyblade happened before Sora defeated all those people. IN nfact it happened before Sora got his keyblade, so no he didn’t die in it.
@Fan: First of all if you had read everything correctly I said that the Gathering video happened in the present/future. Plus the reason why the keyblades were there, according to Nomura, was to show that this next had to do with Sora and the gang. Riku is not the biggest knight and non of the other characters are the knights either. The knights are completely new characters that haven’t been seen in the series. Birth by Sleep is the name of the video at the end of Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix +. The fourth person walking up isn’t King Mickey. You can clearly make out that the person is human, his arms are down by his and is a cloaked figure.
Paige: If you had played any Final Fantasy games other then FF X then you would know that all the Final Fantasy have different characters and stories that happen in different worlds. Final Fantasy is one the best game series of all time. You should some the other ones. For you I would suggest you play Final Fantasy VII.
I have replied to everyone the way I think I should have. If have any questions about my theory up there I’ll answer them to the best of my possibility.

I think kingdom hearts is a beast with roxas in it and i dont think it has ruined the game.If you are only playing the game because of sora thats just sad, it’s all about the action lol and the whole story is great.I think they should keep going with the ps2 games and so on because they are better than final fantasy, they just keep losing the story and i disagree completly that they have took out tidus and yuna.Thats not right!Keep going kingdom hearts your the best.xx

So if im to understand this the general point i see is that every thing in the birth by sleep video is that it happens before xehanort split but answer me this why do all of the KH2 key blades look rusted and unkept like they had been there for ages? also notice that terra? grabs soras blade and from what i belive and this is only speculation but he seems to be the leader of the three. i think the message in the bottle says that the king got caught up in the war and was warning sora riku and even kari since she recived a keyblade from riku. maybe kari inherates the kings blades now the biggest night could have been riku and the one with his own keyblade was sora? ye I know this all seems stupid but think birth by sleep can mean that the king dosent belive that the three carachters arent ready so he puts them under like namine did to sora since he in fact still grew while he was sleeping so when the awaken they could be born again?
the fact that xehanorts dragon is in the waste land shows that it is in fact in the future maybe the world that neverwas absorbed the hearts from when ansem the the wise shot the heart/moon or what ever it was so much so they creat a heart for the world bot when the lat battle takes place they are in the alley between worlds maybe the destruction of the dragon and the black hole above it destroyed the land creating the waste land and even though xehanorts door was created the hearts that made it were still visable behin the door what happened to those hearts?
my last thought is this at the crossroads there are 4 groupings of keyblades so the fact oft the matter is is that three people are there and someone is walking up maybe the fourth groups weilder and since its in the distance and the sun is distorting the image its the king coming to the newley awakened Knights?
THE STROY wouldnt be good without the origonal cHaracters
on 10 Jul 2007 at 7:41 pm 3. bill norus
wtf. I only liked kingdomhearts because of sora’s story, and how uncovers more about himself. the game is ruined if your not playing as Sora.
on 10 Jul 2007 at 6:47 pm 2. TheAssasinof3.0.5
ummm i dont understand for doo-doo so what theere was a keybalde war before or after that sora defeated all those people?and did sora die???
on 10 Jul 2007 at 3:11 am 1. Midnight Rose
Ok…wait a minute, so now you’re telling us that there is going to be a ‘new series’? How many of these games am I going to have to buy? I LOVE Kingdom Hearts, but there are many people out there who do, and are like me with no money…what’s the deal here? So there’s going to be KH3, and a bunch of others? This is just getting me confused…and I hope none are just for the ps3, or I’m screwed…I wasn’t planning on buying one…but for KH, I’m willing to go without food!
