This is sort of a theory and info linkage thread about how I perceive the information about everything we have been given.
So if for some reason your reading this and havnt finished basically everything with the game stop urself from being spoiled... or not?
Bit long but please tell me what you think, negative or good feedback. I personally believe this to be true as its how I interpreted the game and can't wait for the day I find out if my ideas are in actuality correct "if that occurs" lol. Likewise if you read the collectors book which Im sure good chunk of you have it indicates the true ending is how its perceived by the player in a nutshell, along with everything else.

Spoiler ShowWho is MoM? I'll cover that at the end, however lets discuss what "is" inside the mysterious box. Everyone has heard all types of rumors from book of prophecies, to the x blade, etc. The possibilities are endless some far fetched some seeming probably true.
However! If you notice via page 13 of the secret report it basically describes briefly what occurs in the epilogue as well as the events with the opening of Kingdom Hearts. If you read the last part "I will soon be reunited with my old companions, and in that moment my long vigil will reach its end. He will return...."
We see the old masters arriving summoned by luxu/xigbar, however no ava. Everything goes according to the comment except 1 thing "he will return". It cannot be luxu as I highly doubt he is conversing about himself returning, likewise its not mentioning the "Box" will return, but what we see is everyone and the box.
The Box: I believe holds the body/replica of the MoM. Think about it. Its the most important thing, the MoM has foreseen everything yes the keyblade holds the eye which can hold info of the future and pass down generations/return to the owner basically. However the idea of doing so had to occur once to trigger the entire loop of it re-occurring. This is where the box comes into play. Xenahort can traverse time simply by traveling with his heart and leaving his body behind, obviously, he cannot be the only person to know how, nor is he. The MoM would have extensive knowledge of this. If you recall the MoM just "vanished". Well if you forward yourself through time you will indeed vanish and not be found, it doesn't openly say they see a lifeless corpse lying around when the heart is time traveling, so they wouldn't be able to find him. He never wanted the box opened especially around him by luxu. This could mean that if opened while in the presence of his real self it brakes the cycle thus making the future unknown. The box serves as the waypoint for traversing time, his heart can simply re-enter it at any point of history as the box is protected in the past or future, and automatically go back into his normal form inside it. So for example a situation occurs he could exit the box and record its events in secret, upon the end he can re-enter the box to perceive the information to go back in time for his older self. How could he do it? Luxu is the guardian as hearts can co-exist he may secretly reside in Luxu's heart in an awakened status at all times to record history and being the MoM he could simply exit&reneter his heart at any time. As you recall Ventus body was not affected due to time and didn't age in oblivion, so odds are the box holds similar properties. As for opening I believe there is 2 ways, 1 from the inside the MoM can unlock it, and 2 only in a unforeseen event can an exceptional keyblade wielder unlock the box, and by unforseen I mean 10x worse the kingdom hearts being opened.
MoM eye blade: "yea not its name just always fun to call it that... anywho" How its created I believe is linked to the box, as mentioned above it may hold properties similar to castle oblivion, "far fetched the box could be the portal to a secret room to castle oblivion which is unaltered by time as well" however i wont touch on that possibility". The MoM created the blade to pass though generations and record events that unfold...but what if its the opposite? What if the blade already had the events to begin with and everytime the loop occurs changes/small differences are inscribed into the knowledge for all possible futures. In the past when the box is created and the MoM traverses time he would create the blade and inscribe the eye which has foreseen each outcome over&over. From the future to the past, to go through life and add any new occurrences to its knowledge. So for example blade 1: saw future ending with earth being destroyed, blade 2: saw it being saved, blade 3: saw it being 50/50,and so on and so on. Each creation holds the information should any potential future follow that path and likewise how to stop it correctly. Each time the MoM traverse time the 1st blade made would retain knowledge of every blade created that went through time.
Finally who is MoM? For this I formulated 2 possibilities
Sora: he had hearts other then his own resting inside him for awhile. In the end sora runs off to save kairi, she apparently gets saved and we see Sora inside verum rex waking up.... However what if way... later down the line a situation occurs and Sora having the power of waking, guiding hearts,etc Has to traverse back intime to the very beginning to warn of the future that may unfold, however in doing so unexpectedly creates himself to become the MoM. Likewise it could split Sora into 2 beings 1 of the current time, and another version of the early history. The current self progresses through time like normal, while the other version became the MoM whos holds info about the future. This would make it easy for his heart to traverse into his own body over the generations, as he was able to connect and find others quite easily.
Master Eraquis: This 1 is simply because of that final scene when young Eraquis is messing with the chess pieces, and he indicates he has an idea for a new kind of game. He could become the MoM a being for light to guard the future, and the game is how well he can play life into his hands to ensure the survival of mankind. I dont have anymore info, thats why this 1 is lightly believed by me to be the MoM
Epilogue part 2: I say part 2 as at the end xigbar mentions it'll be a long story..... I believe it'll come in a future dlc, and it will show ava was secretly a traitor as "foretold", despite her kind and gentle nature. This could indicate why she didnt appear because she may have felt bad and wanted to reverse it but can't without the MoM potential help. Likewise it'll continue with the box being opened, it being created, and showing the MoM when he first became the MoM.
Bit long but please tell me what you think, negative or good feedback. I personally believe this to be true as its how I interpreted the game and can't wait for the day I find out if my ideas are in actuality correct "if that occurs" lol. Likewise if you read the collectors book which Im sure good chunk of you have it indicates the true ending is how its perceived by the player in a nutshell, along with everything else.
