Darkness becomes light,
Light falls into darkness.
Dreams are connected to each other--
When you fall into a dream,
You are connected through dreams to "The world enclosed in sleep".
And if you open the "Keyhole of sleep" in that world,
The world will be released--

Thanks krexia and Lancelot!!!

Ok this is what I got from that, Sora and Riku are in the world enclosed by sleep there dreams are connected to those in the "Realm of Sleep" and when they open the "Keyhole of Sleep"the bonds they made in the RoS will become reality. I see that as a way for there interaction with people in KH3D to hold up instead of it being a self-contained adventure.

HUZZAH.This game does sound like it will be the perfect lead in for KH 3

*politely hands over wallet to SE* I am so glad this will be REAL. That was all I wanted. (among other impossible things).

dawww ;w;

thanks ethy <3

So wait a moment, their journey into the World of Sleep is their exam, yes? Didn't Nomura say that the MoM would only take up a part of the story? So either they won't be in the WoS for the whole game, or they'll end up having to go back in.

Explanations:

1) Nomura lied.
2) Traverse Town is only the MoM and from there they will continue
3) Nomura lied.
4) Nomura lied.
5) They won't be in the WoS all game (unlikely)
6) Nomura was telling the truth then things changed. So he lied.

 

[Lancelot]

The exam itself could end mid-game, but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll leave the World of Sleep~

 

[gxyoumo14]

hmmm sounds very warcrafty....still its not a bad idea
so does this mean theres a realm of dreams?
and lol nightmare poop

I don't know things in KH have a way of surprising us. The entire game may very well feature the Realm of Sleep (lol totally calling it this from now on) but that doesn't mean the entire game has to be about the MoM since this game is mainly about the data inside Sora's heart (which Yen Sid has no idea about) and Riku's connection to Xehanort I imagine something happens in the RoS that puts there MoM on hold.

 

[Ikkin]

Idea: Traverse Town is in the Realm of Sleep.

Traverse Town does not exist anymore in the Realm of Light due to Sora saving the worlds it was comprised from.

What if the Realm of Sleep is where dead worlds go?

So it looks like we can now surmise what Xemnes was up to in the Room of Sleep?

LOVE. LOVE LOVE LOVE. LOVE TO THE POWER OF INFINITY LOVE.

I was so worried we'd have another Re:coded on our hands, as in a really great game but with very little significance on the rest of the story seeing as how none of it really happened. But it's gonna be real! 'Dream' worlds that get pulled into existence... Me gusta.

And the different Dream Eaters. Ones that eat dreams and plant nightmares, and ones that eat nightmares. Should've seen that coming, seeing as they're called Dream Eaters and whatnot... I've been banking on Dream companions and Nightmare enemies for a while now, so I guess I was kinda a little bit sorta maybe right. In a way. Imma go ahead and give myself props for a near-correct prediction. *pats self on back*

I think my hype for this game is reaching climax, people. SO PUMPED.

 

[Mr Yippie]

Just had a thought: this pretty much confirms the "all new Disney" rule, because the worlds we are visiting haven't been pulled into existence yet. Therefore we won't be going to Agrabah again.

This may also discount the cut Pinnochio land if he and Gepetto went back to it after KH1. One could argue that his world is still destroyed and needs to be brought back into existence, but I'm not sure.

Loke, I was making a really bad joke while falling asleep consideing how things never stay the way Nomura said they would be and everybody says he "lies". I already figured that something may happen midway through their exam like getting stuck in the WoS!RoS because them becoming masters early on in DDD has never been an option. It would have been too good to be true.

 

[Mirby]

There's only one problem I have with the name Dream Eaters.

I keep imagining having to fight Gengar. XD

it also seems like an unlikely name for a new enemy, we have hearltess, unversed, nobodies, and now dream eaters?

but, isnt that just the japanese translation?

 

[Memory Master]

Okay!!! Well that certainly explains a whole lot!!

So this is what I got from that:

1. Dream Eaters: Two types. One that eats dreams and plants nightmares, obviously these are the enemy Dream Eaters. One that eats nightmares, obviously this is the partner friendly dream eaters.

2. The World of Sleep: So a world of dreams clearly. Where dreams are connected to one another.

3. If you open the keyhole of sleep that world will be released: This could mean two things. 1.) Either these dreams worlds can be brought into the real world by opening their keyhole. Or 2.) These dream worlds are the collective dreams of the real world version of the dream world, and by opening the keyhole of sleep the experiences and bonds that took place in the dream version are made real. So if for example Sora revisits the real version of City of Bells in KH3 then the people there would remember the stuff that happened in the dream world as if it took place in the real world.

However I believe option number 1 is probably what will happen. Because it would make perfect sense with the term "Birth By Sleep". Namine, Roxas, and Xion no longer exist in the real world so in the dream world if you can pull dream worlds into the real world then surely Namine, Roxas, and Xion can be pulled from the dream world into the real world and thus their torment is healed. A.K.A "Birth By Sleep"

I have to say Nomura has really impressed me. It seems he's had this all planned out since KH2. I knew he had an idea for the overall plot, very very clever Nomura. *Claps*

 

[snow_flake40]

So, I zoomed-ified on that screen that shows a new area of Traverse Town, the one that everyone is speculating leads to different worlds.

Spoiler Show

The sign on the furthest building definitely says Colosseum, but I don't think it's a portal to Olympus Coliseum. For one thing, this new Colosseum is spelt correctly. Also, over the entrance you can see two crossed battle axes and some sort of crest: the two statues on either side of Olympus Coliseum hold swords and shields. Axes, to me, represent something more medieval than ancient Greek. I think this Colosseum is something new, maybe something similar to the Mirage Arena in BBS or just the new tournament place in DDD.

As for the building on the left, I have no idea. It certainly looks Christmas-y as many have pointed out before, but not Hallowe'en Town!Christmas Town Christmas-y. ...If that makes any sense. Are there any other Christmas-themed Disney movies? For the life of me, I can't think of any that would be in KH... Could just be another random building in Traverse Town. Traverse Town likes random buildings.

Also, the Dream Eater just chillin' in mid-air. Is that Sora's Wonder Meow just currently pink or just another Dream Eater cat thing? You can't see any emblem on its stomach or floating above it like Sora's bud, so I can't tell if it's a nightmare-eating Dream Eater or a dream-eating Dream Eater. I'd say it's a good one, but why is it just...there? If you come across a random 'good' Dream Eater, can you befriend it instantly and swap it into your party?

 

[Mirby]

Oh dear, that last part reminds me of the sidequest in Mega Man Battle Network 3 with the good viruses...

 

[Lancelot]

Oops, that reminds me I cropped out all those screens hours ago. Posting them now~

 

[Mirby]

I was wondering about that myself, after you had talked about them in IRC... XD
