MF would have his henchmen already though: Ansem SoD, Xemnas and Vanitas.
These two I don't really see much other than evil though, Larxene was a sadistic bitch and Marluxia a scheming, ruthless manipulator.
I don't see yet what they should have for significant roles though...
I don't really think that Ansem SoD and Xemnas are going to remain independent, though. I think eventually they're going to be absorbed back into one whole being. And Vanitas is entirely up in the air right now. The Organization members, for the most part, are still valid characters to return to the battle. Many of them would probably want revenge against Sora considering what he did to them, although I think a few (like Zexion) will realize that it was because of him that they were able to return to normal.
I like Larxene, she was ruthless. Marluxia was considered competent enough to head an entire section of the Organization himself, I think he deserves credit for being something of an evil mastermind in his own right.
Either that or he comes to know about so much misery and pain Xehanort caused that he simply can't cope with it. The constant pressure driving his heart further and further towards darkness, with the Tron world apparently adding another layer for that.
That's more or less what I want. I think Sora is going to find himself feeling more hopeless than ever as he realizes how much rests on his shoulders. And for this journey, he really is essentially traveling alone (Riku is in the RoS but they don't appear to interact much, and he doesn't have Donald and Goofy to keep his spirits up). In KH2, after Xemnas and Mickey disappeared following the Hollow Bastion battle, we saw a glimpse of Sora's willingness to give in to failures. It was Donald and Goofy who consoled him. As Sora himself has said, his friends are his powers. The manner in which Sora fares when separated from them may be of some importance.
Both Sora and Riku in their young forms again has already drawn much critics anyways. The new clothes are fine, but I don't see what would speak against having current Riku and current Sora running around there.
Yeah. Again, it's not something I consider majorly important, but I would rather the characters be their current age all things considered.
The scene is way too short to actually say for sure...but we can take a closer look when I am finally at home and can upload the pictures I took.
I have it already (downloaded the video, have many screens). It's just too vague to tell, I think.
That's because it is shown from the viewpoint of Sora and Joshua. In the scene before we see Sora and Joshua watching how Riku is walking slowly backwards, where Riku already has that weird glow.
But for some reason, they don't see MF. It could just be because MF is still walking down the steps or something, which I don't think were in their line of sight, but I think it would be interesting if the MF that appears there is only visible to Riku for some reason, at that point in time. Kind of brings a coherence to their connection, if there is one.
It's most likely two different planes of reality as Sora remains calm and chats with Joshua instead of running directly to Riku which would normally be the case.
Well, if Sora can't see that Riku is being threatened or is in immediate danger, he wouldn't have any reason to rush to Riku's aid. Yes, the slow backing away would be a natural indication but Sora isn't really that bright. x'D
That's only because they don't show the whole room. The thrones are gathered in a circle, remember?
Yes, I was thinking that. I just think it's odd that none of the seats in sight are empty. Even if it is twelve people, two seats will be empty (unless Sora's there, making it one empty seat).
What intrigues me more though is that Master Xehanort sits in the highest throne and Ansem SoD and Xemnas apparently to his right and left, the only two persons who seem to have their hood down. *eagle eyes*
It looks to me like one more person, to the left of Xemnas/Ansem SoD (whichever it is) in one of the lowest seats has their hood down, but I can't for the life of me tell who it is.
Edit: And the Twilight Town clock tower scene has Axel in it, not Lea.
I'm thinking that's going to be part of a memory Axel's having right after he disappears/right before he wakes up as Lea. Of course his last and first thoughts would be of Roxas. :3
