Kingdom Hearts III Pre-Release Spoiler Discussion Thread

[Sephiroth0812]

This is some more juicy stuff to process here.

So to tackle it point by point:

Spoiler Show

- From where did you get info on the new secret reports?
- do we know how many there are and from who they are?
- if Ephemer gains No Name does that mean he turns evil in the end?
- is Xigbar/Braig truly Luxu or does he just carry Luxu's heart like Sora carries Ven's and Kairi's?
- do they really reveal answers to UX' biggest mysteries just like that in a KH III secret report?

Nice job leaving off the spoiler tags and revealing to every one that there is a 100% canon confirmed gay relationship at the end of KH3 that you are just in denial about.

Me and my best friend collect toy cars together. That doesn't mean we're dating does it? Also didn't really see the need for spoiler tags since all I did was mention a minor detail from the credits of a previous game and say "Seashell Collection" with no elaboration.

OMG WHAT DID I JUST WATCH!!!!!!! :O

Spoiler Show

I think my brain is exploding! Is Luxu inside Sora!?!?!?!?! I also really like how the reports are written by different characters instead of one person. I can not contain how happy I am right now. This game got even better for me!

I don't know, aren't you just in denial about it?

I do think it's cute how everyone is acting surprised that Braig is probably/definitely Luxu. Everybody is everybody in these games. There's no sense of mystery anymore.

Vessel. He most likely either took control and mimicked Braig's personality, or used Braig to his advantage.

The guy was freaking dedicated to that role of his, I'll tell ya hwat.

Spoiler Show

Luxu is dropping an Arba (from Magi) I can't believe it
Nomura did said there be implication of the fates of the other union leaders in KH3,we know what happened with Ventus and Marluxia, Ephemer received No Name, Skuld is Nameless Star, and that leaves us with Brain and Strelitzia.... Hmmmm...

Your answers:

Spoiler Show

If you meant where they are available, the most efficient leaker has a video scrolling through all of them in relatively decent speed.
There are as we would expect, 13. The catch is they are 358/2 Days with multiple writers.
One of the Dandelions were bequeathed No Name apparently, no confirmation beyond this.
It is implied either Braig/Xigbar is Luxu or Luxu is most likely inside Braig/Xigbar.
They did not really reveal anything that the plot of UX revolves around.

Another topic:

Spoiler Show

If Skuld is Star, well, this does not bode well for Isa and/or Lea's love interest since Skuld seems to have a feeling for Ephemera.

Another subject:

Spoiler Show

If the box is from Xigbar, then Xemnas' knowledge of the Ancient Legacy should be shoe-in from Xigbar in some capacity as well. After all, Xigbar apparently recruited Marluxia.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Mystery Girl X is Ava. If I recall they said she looked like Namine, so it can’t be Skuld or Stretzlia.

Spoiler Show

That is just a word/inference from another leaker, no? I mean, with Kingdom Hearts, I think it is better to draw your own interpretation/understanding from raw/primary materials.

Spoiler Show

Actually, Luxu's inside Xigbar, using his body to continue the role given to him by MoM.

The third heart within Sora is just Ven.

Ienzo's report on Sora says this: "Within Sora's heart are three compartmentalized "boxes", each containing the heart of another. One box holds Roxas. Another holds a second heart that has been with Sora nearly as long[Xion]. The third has held its heart for much longer[Ven]."

Don't bother with people blinded with double standard, they will never listen what the other side has to offer.

 

[destiny seeker]

Oh I'm sorry, I cant read lol.

Still mind blowing!

I really love how Luxu was basically obsessed with finishing his role, seeing the other Foretellers again, and bringing Crazy Ol' Ray Chase In A Hood back. Dude's one dedicated boi

Quite interesting stuff, so some people already calling names are just speculating/theorizing right now.

Spoiler Show

13 reports, god damn it Nomura quit already with the obsession over that number.
When it says "one of the Dandelions" that can mean anyone who survived the Keyblade War, it doesn't have to be one of the five leaders.
I did theorize beforehand though that No Name has to be present somehow in the Unchained Realm for surveillance purposes.
I can actually see the second variant being more likely, as well as Luxu somehow having contact with Xehanort. If Luxu is a body hopper with his heart practically doing millennium long "bus tours" inside other people it might have been him who teached Xehanort about the whole heart splitting stuff and similar features (the heart transfer thing is explicitly stated by Xehanort to be an ability every true Keyblade Master has though).

Good to know, so all the stuff about who has No Name and who killed Strelitzia is only theorizing.

Spoiler Show

The third heart within Sora is just Ven.

Ienzo's report on Sora says this: "Within Sora's heart are three compartmentalized "boxes", each containing the heart of another. One box holds Roxas. Another holds a second heart that has been with Sora nearly as long[Xion]. The third has held its heart for much longer[Ven]."

Spoiler Show

Makes me wonder how the heck Ienzo can know all this. Ventus being in Sora was a huge secret for the longest of times.
I bet it has to do with Ansem the Wise's research on hearts while he was DiZ and while Sora was sleeping for a year.

It's also funny that he apparently describes Roxas, Xion and Ven each having their own "room" inside Sora's heart, which in an in-universe situation makes perfect sense as their hearts never actually merged/fused with Sora's, they were just kept inside there for safety with their own memories kept separate from Sora's.

This means in DDD when Roxas showed his memory to Sora he practically opened his own "box" and let Sora glance inside.

I'm actually surprised that the crazy headcanon funny comics of those three basically living in Sora's heart like a house is actually somewhat true.

As for how Ienzo knows this, his report starts with him saying that he looked over the data AtW gave to Riku.

 

[destiny seeker]

WAIT A SECOND!

Is this why Xigbar says "I am worthy", when he talks about how he should get a keyblade during his death?

 

[Absent]

Spoilers, cmon it ain’t that hard.

 

[*TwilightNight*]

Didn't expect the replies, will catch up to a few and wonder about the Reports that got revealed.

Spoiler Show

I do not see an issue here? Following UX closely, I already got that vibe when she apparently acted out of character for her Chirithy. I mean, if she (Larxene) acts following him (Marluxia) and said him acts in accordance with his sister, that is female-->male-->female.

Spoiler Show

The problem is that a female character's actions and motivations now got relegated to her simply following a penis. Unless Larxene meant something else. Considering the track record with KH's handling of females as is, this is just another blow to cater to the male characters. I rather Larxene/Elrena not appear than to have her drive be because of a. Damn. Man. Ugh.

This is a woman who called men without hearts boring, was thirsting for Axel in CoM (because she could, not because of love~ and feelings), and barely exchanged words, if at all, with Marluxia.

I swear, it just gets worse. I'm just going to go into denial and pretend this mess isn't happening.

Spoiler Show

Turns out this headcanon wasn't so crazy after all.
Only bummer is that Sora and the hearts that were inside him do not seem to get much attention when it comes to actual interaction.

Wat? I thought that data was kept in Disney Castle and is looked into by Chip and Dale? How did Ienzo get a hand on it?

WAIT A SECOND!

Is this why Xigbar says "I am worthy", when he talks about how he should get a keyblade during his death?

The main question is if

Spoiler Show

it is really Xigbar speaking there or Luxu from within him. Perhaps for some reason Luxu wants the No Name back as Xiggy speaks specifically of inheriting the one MX wields.

 

[alexis.anagram]

Pfft

Just saw it pointed out elsewhere that if this is all true then Xigbar is looking for the box, but if Xigbar is Luxu and Luxu was in charge of the box, it means he lost his own fucking box. Sounds like maybe he's not worthy of the Goatblade after all.

I swear, it just gets worse. I'm just going to go into denial and pretend this mess isn't happening.

Pretty much the extent of my plan at this point. I'll let it be real once I play the game but for now it's more like a funny dream of how everything could have gone wrong.

 

[destiny seeker]

Spoiler Show

The MoM always kind of reminded me of Xigbar. (Probably cause of the personalty) Would be funny if Luxu chose Xigbar also because Xigbar reminded him of MoM. Not that I expect this to happen but would be funny
