I am a bit bothered that we're still getting Xehanort content AFTER he's long gone. KHUX has been going on for years. Why not reveal all this stuff before KH3 or soon after it? We're what.... 3 years? Past the release of KH3 and we're still learning stuff about a main villain that's already gone. This was supposed to be the end of the Xehanort saga. We're supposed to me moving to a new saga, but with ever new reveal I feel like Nomura is trying to give Xehanort excuses for his actions and partially redeem him or something. Now we've got this load of Xehanort baggage that is probably going to carry on into KH4 and beyond when we're supposed to be enjoying a fresh slate of dealing with MoM and foretellers drama.

Honestly, nothing is going to make me sympathize or like Xehanort. As an old man, he hurt countless people and children. Whatever pain he went through, he passed down the pain and spread it out to even more innocent people because of some wish washy "Hurr, I'm gonna reset the world and be king." kind of BS. (he's literally gone from mastermind genius man to 'poor soul was probably just a pawn' post BbS and it sucks). I can enjoy some young Xehanort and Eraqus lore here and there, but that's about it.

I suppose Xehanort being shown at the end of Union Cross is just a more definitive way to directly connect Union Cross with Dark Road. I do agree that Nomura shouldn't have given the impression that we're moving past Xehanort when we're clearly not even if Xehanort's role is reduced to being a background character for the next saga.

I’m curious if player’s heart stayed with Xehanort’s heart the whole time, or if it moved around. At one point, Terranort was a thing, so does that mean player could have migrated to Terra? Kinda like Ven’s heart moved to be with Roxas (Sora’s body) when Sora became a heartless.

The Player's heart IS Xehanort's heart. There's no "two hearts sharing a body".
