something i still don't get

Well, there's actually many things but I'll leave it to one. The scene in the beginning with XH "ansem" and braig. Is it a flashback to when Terranort and the other apprentices lose their hearts, or is it when they're in the process of being revived? I'm leaning with the former but the whole discarded body in time speal has got me wondering

Yes, it's when they lost their hearts.

— Is the first cutscene we see in KH3D a flashback to 10 years before the first Kingdom Hearts when Xehanort and co. lost their hearts in an experiment?

Nomura: That’s right. That’s because in a sense it was the beginning of the story of this title.
