Is it possible that the Guardians of Light will be entirely new characters?

I think it's pretty safe to say that the GoL will be the ones that people actually suspect which are Sora, Riku, Kairi, Mickey, Ven, Aqua, Lea. I don't think it even crossed their minds to introduce even more characters. There's already too many as it is. Some of these characters you can't even really talk about. Xehanort was a misguided person but he's basically bad. Terra is like Riku. Kairi is a girl. Xion is someone who nobody remembers but she was pretty into sitting around eating ice cream and contemplating her own existence. There's no way they're going to be able to flesh out the personalities of all the ones I mentioned and there's a ton more that are even worse. The writers don't need any more characters to juggle and neither do we.

Sorry, but what does Kairi's being a girl have to do with whether or not she is among the GoL, or with anything at all?

I think the "joke" is that there's little to nothing to her character so there's not much to describe.
It's not so much a reason as to way she'd be a GoL, it's just the issue that a lot of the characters are underdeveloped, including the ones that we suspect are the GoL and the most important.

I do recall that interview and I always thought it was because, being YX, it's better to have him be "less evil" in his early years and then see the product of what he has become as "much more evil" later on, it's just nicer to know a character went from being this lesser evil being to hardening over the years and becoming ruthless.

It should also be noted that Richard Epcar was also instructed to tone down the evil with his initial performance of Xehanort's Heartless (though that may have more to do with him also voicing Riku)

He did tone it down but come again?

I think they mean because "Xehanort's Heartless" in KH2 was really just Riku, so he wouldn't sound really evil. Since he wasn't

Yes, that's exactly what I meant, thank you.

lol I thought the exact same thing when I first read it, before going onto the points about how they all need development haha
