Thank you for your answer. I was just hoping to get a rough time frame so I don‘t need to refresh this page every second (which is what I’m doing right now.

)

Guess I need to try to distract myself for the next couple of hours

I saw someone suggest his hat was used to continue his memory and reconstitute his body.
They showed Diablo bringing Maleficent's cloak to the fairies for a similar purpose.

Yeah, that's the symbolism that I inferred from that scene, too.

Ephemer is a character that screams playable for Kingdom Hearts, I'm confident we will have a game where we get to play as him.

It's weird that it seems like they wanted Xehanort away from Scala; almost like they knew something dark was in his future. I mean, Luxu mentioned there was a prophecy concerning a Keyblade master devoted to the darkness who would bring about another Keyblade War. I wonder if that prophecy was also known throughout Scala and Xehanort was feared to be that master, so in a futile attempt to prevent the prophecy, they sent Xehanort away to ensure he had no knowledge of Keyblades, other worlds, light, and darkness, ect. Then his heartless comes along and ensures it does happen.

If that's the case, it's creepy to think that Xehanort was feared even as an infant by his own family.

It is a tale about as old as mankind itself, I believe Oedipus is the most well known version of it. The standard continuation of it (adapted to the circumstances) would be that Xehanort and Eraqus are blood relatives (perhaps even brothers), and this fact plays some part in Xehanort's fall into darkness. But since this is Kingdom Hearts, it doesn't necessarily need to follow the standard...

In any case, it shouldn't have any meaning outside the context of Dark Road, because Xehanort is dead for good in the main storyline.

doublewizard · May 31, 2021

I personally don't believe the theory that Luxu is possessing Brain. Re-reading Luxu's secret report entries in KH3, he mentions bequeathing his keyblade to one of the leaders and no longer having it, which doesn't really match up with the face reveal scene we saw in this update. I feel like there's simply just more time shenanigans going on, par for the course for recent KH content, especially Union X lol.

Edit: another thing I just realized is that it makes sense for Brain to have the No Name keyblade with him when he appears in what appears to be early Scala, we know that keyblade has to get there eventually for both Xehanort's master and Xehanort himself to get it.

Sorarocks93 · May 31, 2021

If the player is indeed Xehanort reincarnated, then watching the KH3 ending hits a bit different. When Xehanort's and Eraqus' hearts float upwards, that's not just Xehanort's heart anymore.

kristi-swat · May 31, 2021

I'm pretty sure that Ephemer has read a lot of the BoP and that's how Brain's arrival was prepared.

It's *our* heart. Play le soviet theme

G-SANtos · May 31, 2021

Here is Cherrim's translation.

KHUX Story Translations

docs.google.com

I'm surprised the arcs can be returned to the data world. I legit thought the trio would escape with a single pod using the heart hotel method.
But that brings the question, why does the pod sometimes remain and other times disappear from existence after arriving at the destination?

You know, when I saw the hooded old man, I immediately thought of the robed figure. Could Ansem SoD have possessed that person's robe?

Strange that the Player fuses with Xehanort. I was expecting the Player to maybe merge with Ventus. Not only is there that parallel with Nightmare Chirithy and Vanitas (well, I think, NC is the Player's darkness and Vantias was originally introduced as Ventus's darkness), but now there's the question of how the heck Sora can summon Ralph in KH3. KH3's summons are all connected to Sora's heart, as explained by Nomura himself, so what's the missing link if it's not the Player's heart?

That said, when I saw screenshots of the Dream Eater scene, I remembered something that was in my mind a few days ago. In KH3D's epilogue, Sora goes to Traverse Town and meets the Dream Eaters again. Next time we see him is in KH0.2's "2.9" scene, where he arrives late and doesn't explain where he was other than "it's a secret".
KH3 never explained what the secret was, or even mentioning the secret existed at all. Maybe the tutorial was a hint, but that's it, we have nothing. Could we be getting a second Sleeping Realm game with KH2 clothes Sora? Maybe that's how Sora connects to Ralph?

Also, I don't know if there's any meaning to it because they're both Norse names, but Sigurd's name is Japanese is extremely similar to Skuld's. Like, get the name スクルド (Skuld), change the first letter and put a dakuten on the second, and you get シグルド (Sigurd).

As for the Luxu and Brain face, maybe they are twins? Like, Lauriam has a sister, Baldr has a sister, and Eraqus's grandfather is important. There's a theory that the 2nd Phase will involve more blood relations unlike the Dark Seeker Saga. If that's correct, than having a set of twins would fit. And besides, with KH everyone is so used to cloning and body possession that some old-fashioned "they're twins" would legit be the surprising option.

Unless the Player's heart is now inside Terra's.

LoneFox said:

Are we sure? Because between KH3 having separate profiles for "Boy in Black" and "Boy in White" despite their obvious identities, Eraqus and Xehanort transforming into their young forms, Nomura bringing back every character for KH3 and freezing ages for 12 years, and Xehanort somehow knowing about Ureality, something that can't be attributed to him having the Player's memories and which might be neccessary for the heroes going forward, I'm not so sure about his death being that permanent. I feel like Xehanort (and maybe Eraqus too) will return as a teenager and maybe with a new name.

In fact, with all the hints the Daybreak group will return, there must be some way for the Player to come back, specially because they form a trio with Ephemer and Skuld, and Xehanort's heart is the Player's last known location.

DarkGrey Heroine · May 31, 2021

I am devastated, memories of 2015 playing the browser version in Japanese I barely understood flash before my eyes.
Looking at my old screenshots folder I seriously get emotional

Spoiler Show

I'm with you all waiting for updates and excited for interpretations. *raises Keyblade to all the players as well
But y'all tell me ONE thing
HOW, just HOW are you going to pet and feed your Dream Eaters in DDD NOW?
GOsh I'll never be able to look my Keeba Tiger and Me Me Bunny in the eyes the same way again holy shit

All of them that were used for time travel disappeared. Ephemer used his as a literal lifeboat instead of launching it. I wonder if that is a trollish response from the developers for our reaction to the ark vs. lifeboat thing...

This has an age difference problem. In Back Cover, Luxu is clearly an adult. Brain is one of the older wielders, but I would assume he is still a teenager.

We can never be 100% sure, but considering the details of their death scene, I would find it extremely lame if either Xehanort of Eraqus is brought back. There is an implicit promise that they are gone for good. BTW, the same is true for both Riku Replicas as well.

You never know, that may be the Scala Ad Caelum that Mickey ends up visiting.

Would be nice. I've seen some people theorize that maybe the Scala we see in the ending is one of the different islands in that world instead of a past version

Hirokey123 · May 31, 2021

You know I don't think ALL dream eaters are dandelions just the dandelions became dream eaters. The dream eaters in DDD are specifically said to be our dreams made manifest and we like actually create them and the entire point of them was because creating people didn't make sense. So I think people are kind of jumping the gun saying "oh my god all dream eaters are dandelions" it's more they are the progenitors I think.

I get it but even so, the idea of them being related still weirds me out, especially since we actually have dream eater recipes and create them as you said. But well, since people in KH can turn into so many things already, in the end dream eaters are no exception to what they can somehow transform into.

I mean the darker colors scheme and general look would imply it is likely another island. The place looks similar yet distinct from what we've seen. I still think it's most likely in the past, but a different island in the past.

Random thought, but what if there's two Brains? One Luxu being the one in the real world and Brain being his data copy?

Does this ending make more sense with or without alcohol?

Given we didn't see the actual war over the x-blade, does this confirm there was a war BEFORE this one and that was the real Keyblade War fight? Meaning, there has been more than one Keyblade War, meaning, they've introduced yet another prequel to the series?

Yo gots me thinking what if Yozora was that first war, and his Era is really the far past before the keyblade was even created..

Without. The ending is super easy to digest.

•dorkness has to have a form in order to be eradicated

•7 prime dorknesses are in MoM and his kids

*6 lesser dorknesses are elsewhere

•Luxu almost certainly begins his bizarre adventure by bodyhopping Brain using his stando NO NAME
