Kingdom Hearts 3 Story Discussion

[furusatoe]

Sorry if this has already been discussed - I haven't combed through the thread - but what is the likelihood that Eraqus and Xehanort were part of a trio with a currently unknown girl? I don't believe a relationship like this is ever alluded to in KH3, but given Nomura's love of trios it seems very likely. Probably has something to do with why Xehanort went off the deep end, I imagine.

As of now, the likelihood is zero. Seeing as how the saga has ended.

I wouldn't say zero, she could still be tied into the next saga and be the insidght to Scala Ad Caelum.

Maybe TAV would learn of her and seek her out?

I dont hope for this to happen, but i could see it happen.

 

[Graceful Schemer]

Yen Sid is most likely the trio for all intents and purposes (Disney-Square(Final Fantasy)-Kingdom Hearts).

Just found more Nomura's salt.
Theater menu: Chapter XV - Scala ad Caelum

So, when Sora’s running up walls, can Donald and Goofy do the same off-screen, or are they just climbing the normal way while Sora waits for them?

Yeah I kinda didn't understand how D and G got to the top of Scala either.

I just assume they would like in KH2 when Sora was doing very athletic stuff when you are trying to reach Xemnas tied up in his chair mode

Yen Sid is most likely the trio for all intents and purposes (Disney-Square(Final Fantasy)-Kingdom Hearts).

Good observation:
* Yen Sid = Disney
* Eraqus = Square
* Xehanort = Kingdom Hearts

Speaking of which, after the Keyblade Graveyard, hopefully Yen Sid is much more active.

 

[kaseykockroach]

While disappointing Maleficent and Pete stayed out of the spotlight, I at least she was a bit more dignified and at peace with herself than she got to be with KH2 humiliating her.

I think their role in this game makes sense. I suspect she will try to collect the New Seven Hearts in the next game and try to summon Kingdom Hearts once more and the Foretellers will try to do something before she gets her hands on it.

Though my body is ready for some Maleficent+Kingdom Hearts final battle. Though I don't know how open Disney would be to that.

At this point I really just want for Maleficent to succeed for once lol. At least in some fashion. We have her interested in the box and all this set-up but I worry she's just going to get sidelined for the OCs again and will feel like a joke. I want her to have at least some sort of win.

Maybe she'll actually accomplish something in the next game, and get defeated by the heroes?

 

[Raz]

This is Maleficent-related but uses info from the secret ending:

Spoiler Show

I wonder if the inclusion of parallel universes could play into some kind of Maleficent redemption arc? Like, villain Maleficent could meet/fuse/give way to Angelina Jolie-ficent in some capacity. She'd make a hell of an ally with those powers.

Going down this same route, with parallel universes in mind, this could be a way to explain why/how Burton Wonderland could potentially exist at the same time as cartoon Wonderland.

 

[Elysium]

I want Maleficent to get power-boosted somehow already, so that SDG can interact with her or fight her without treating her like an insignificant joke. Hopefully the box will play a role.

If she does nothing, accomplishes nothing, is superseded by original characters in the next game again--then I guess we'll have another character to talk about in the "Treatment of women in this series" thread. :/

 

[Zettaflare]

If Maleficent wants to make a big comeback next saga she needs to start her own villain group again. Lots of good Disney badies to oppose the Dark Foretellers and Xigbar

I was discussing this on Twitter the other day

Jolie Maleficent and Live-Action Alice with the Vorpal Blade would be rad party members so I am down for both becoming involved in some way. I dunno about cartoon Maleficent being redeemed though? I could see them doing that lol, but also, wanting to stay true to her portrayal in the OG film.

 

[Squood!]

SO...it turns out that Xehanort talking about resetting the world to one full of light was a mistranslation. In Japanese, he actually says something along the lines of resetting the world to a pure blank slate. A world that has no light or darkness.

I'd be fine with the Tim Burton's Wonderland existing parallel to the cartoon version for one reason: For a long time I've wanted a world where we need to switch between a "good" and "bad" version. Both Wonderlands are the only movies off the top of my head which would fit that perfectly.

But I want the bland as balls live-action remakes off the table (I know Maleficent isn't technically a remake but you know what I mean.)

As for Maleficent... I love her because she's evil, petty, and the only character that can say "darkness" without sounding dumb. I want her to be a real threat again and not get shafted because of the original baddies


EDIT:

Well that's interesting. What a weird thing to do.

That seems a bit more in line with his character. Wonder how many other mistranslations are in the ENG dub?
