I have some questions on some of the things in the late stages of the games *SPOILERS*

[Ventusblade_]

1)Any one has ideas on who the others members of the 'real organization' are? (btw, I haven't watched the secret ending so...) Cause everyone's dead 'cept Isa and Braig, unless the others a Xehanort in different times.

2)Someone explain to me what happened with Sora? I mean he felled into the darkness, or something? I'm confused... Or what happened to Ven happened (or similar) to Sora?

3)How can Riku be a dream-eater?


I passed the game but...when I played the game I was usually on loud places where I couldn't hear what they were saying or so much pay attention...

I'm currently re-passing on proud to see what I missed..

And sorry if this questions are kinda noob-ish. -.-

Well there is a spoiler section for these kind of threads.

Spoiler Show

1) It hasn't been revealed yet. The other six members are currently a mystery. They could be anyone. It's even possible they're new characters who have Xehanort's heart within them. Since having Xehanort's heart is a requirement to be part of the new organization.

2) Master Xehanort basically overwhelmed Sora. Sora's heart was sent to sleep. Master Xehanort was going to take advantage of this opportunity to put part of his heart into Sora. When Riku unlocked the seven keyholes he gained the power to awaken a heart from sleep. Riku saved Sora's heart, and it's implied that in the process Riku freed Ven. Though we don't know for certain yet.

3) Sora entered the Realm of Sleep, and entered a dreamlike state. Riku entered the Realm of Sleep through Sora, so Riku was inside Sora's dream. Riku was Sora's Dream Eater. He was within Sora's dream, and fighting to protect Sora from the Nightmares. It seemed to be more symbolic than literal.

There you go.

1) There's an entire thread discussing this in the spoiler section I believe.

2)

Spoiler Show

Sora's heart was so far down in sleep, that it basically ended up like Ventus'. The only difference here is, while Ventus' sleeping heart rests in the warmth of Sora's heart, Sora's heart itself does not have that luxury and instead falls into the abyss of sleep.

3)

Spoiler Show

At the start of the game when they both go through DI's Keyhole, Riku unknowingly enters Sora's dreams out of his determination to protect Sora. He takes on the powers of a Dream Eater due to this, and even ends up battling the Nightmare version of himself , anti-black coat

I think this belongs in the spoiler section by the way. Some people don't know yet about

Riku being a dream eater

Someone should move this to the spoilers-section.


For 1)
Ideas are many around, although six members (and the missing 13th now) are left uncertain on purpose.
One additional member more or less confirmed by Master Xehanort is Terra (or rather, Terra-Xehanort), since MX confirmed him as his vessel.
More candidates would be maybe Luxord (he doesn't fit into the traitor/too strong-willed or too weak categories Xemnas mentioned to Sora).
Another possibility would be the Riku Replica and of course Vanitas, who already has the golden Xehanort-eyes, making him very likely to be another member.

So, that would make four possibilities in one stroke:
1. Terra-Xehanort
2. Luxord (or his human form)
3. Riku Replica
4. Vanitas

and three more we don't know yet, although one has to point out that it would be very weird to have Marluxia and Larxene in there, as they were traitors or Demyx because he was too weak.
Some people also like to include Dilan and Even because they were said to be still unstable in DDD after they were revived.

For 2)
Xigbar, Xemnas and Young Xehanort goaded Sora into sleeping so that he would be exposed to the pain of the suffering ones connected to him and continued to make him insecure (like Xemnas' speech in the Grid) in order to weaken Sora's heart.
Data-Naminé in Re: Coded warned that if Sora would be exposed to the immense pain of Xion, Roxas, Ventus and the others unprepared his heart would falter and fall into the darkness.
This was exactly what happened in DDD because Xemnas and the others of the new Organization knew of this fact too and used it to their advantage.
After defeating Xemnas, Sora had used up all his energy and his weakened heart collapsed, as was anticipated by Young Xehanort.

His heart started to sink into the darkness, but Ventus' heart, despite being injured, came to Sora's aid and Ven let Sora borrow his armor in order to protect him from the darkness. It worked for Sora himself, but the armor got possessed by the darkness instead and was moved like a puppet, that's the final boss Riku then has to face when he dives into Sora's heart to save it and wake it up.

For 3) He just took the role of one instinctively because of his desire to protect Sora, this is explained by Ansem, Seeker of Darkness before Riku fights him.
The Anti Black Coat is in fact the Nightmare version of Riku's "Spirit".
