Re: KH2 Ending Discussion Thread ***Major Spoilers***
Facts from Nomura:
-Zexion's weapon will be revealed in the future plot for Kingdom Hearts (Notice he does not mention a KH3) "That reminds me, in the World that Never Was, each XIII Organization member had a gravestone for them and each of those have a picture of their weapons and that's when Zexion became a problem for us. "Eh, we're gonna put a spoiler on Zexion's weapon there!?" (laugh) That's a bit too much so we decided to destroy the gravestone so that his weapon couldn't be seen."
-He claims there are no current plans for a KH3 (persay), despite the Secret Ending's suggestion there will be one (This means it could be something besides a game, and like someone else said, he said it will "show that Kingdom Hearts can be more than a game") "Hmm... I have an idea but it can't be helped because my team are planning to work on our next different title. So we're not working on KHIII now and we're not planning to work on it for some time, too. I have a plot in my head but I'm not sure if it'll be released to the world or just stay in there."
-He says the 3 in the Secret Ending are NOT Sora, Riku, or Kairi, as already said.
"Those 3 are completely new people who haven't shown up at all. In fact, I've already thought of their names. Back when I was making that movie, I only had their settings but now I've even drawn their faces to give myself a clearer image of them."
-He's stated that the Secret Ending is set in the past, but could also be the future. (confusing...but interesting) "I would at least say it's an episode in the past, but.... Hmm, how should I say this? It's in the past but you can also think it's in the future, something like that."
-"Xehanort's name has two meanings. When you spell it in Roman alphabets and rearrange them without the 'X', they'll spell 'No Heart' and 'Another'. These meanings are connected to the secret movie."
-"Sora's, Riku's, and the King's keyblades are there (In the wasteland of the Secret Ending) to show that those three armored people aren't them but that doesn't mean they don't have connections. The words "Keyblade War" that showed up in the middle were to implicate that there were fights between Keyblades. Most of the puzzles in the first KH have been solved in KHII but there are many things about the Keyblade that haven't been revealed yet. A line from the previous game's Ansem Report #8 appeared in the movie but that is to say "It means this but it's not explained yet." "
