I guess il just take what im given. It just confuses me as to why Yen Side all of a sudden chose to see if they can wield the power to dive into peoples hearts and for what purpose. In the beginning, i was to believe he didnt know the whereabouts of neither Ventus, Aqua, or Terra, which brings to wonder why they needed this power at this point in time...i understand they need it now..because of Ven but it didnt make sense if they didnt have that knowledge before the MoM exam started for Sora and Riku. I'm not even sure Aqua has that ability.
I already explained for what purpose they need to wield that power. I don't know what's so difficult to understand about the whole issue.
1. Mickey finds out in Coded there are people in need to be saved, in fact all those Data-Naminé showed him and Data-Sora (We're not talking solely about Ventus here but everyone of the suffering ones).
2. Mickey also learns about the data Ansem the Wise planted inside Sora from Data-Naminé.
3. Mickey writes Sora a letter about that and proceeds to also inform Yen Sid about the new developments.
4. Yen Sid in turn has news about the impending return of Xehanort and decides together with Mickey to catch two birds with one stone:
Prepare Sora and Riku to face Xehanort by putting them through the MoM-exam and at the same time make it also a point of the exam to gain the power to save hearts that have fallen into sleep
and find Ansem's data within Sora.
If Yen Sid knows the whereabouts of the tormented ones or not is irrelevant. Relevant is only that they can be saved which was only discovered during Coded, so Yen Sid decided to let Sora and Riku gain the powers to do so, so that they are ready to use it when the time comes to
really search for them and save them.
Furthemore, the discussion in the Secret Ending of Coded indicates that at least Mickey was diligently searching for Information on at least the BBS Trio during the years and he managed to pinpoint Aqua's location (at least the realm) and he seems to have a general idea on where Ventus' heart might be.
With Xehanort returning and scheming again the good guys cannot afford to wait with learning how to perform a "Birth by Sleep" until the last minute. If DDD shows us anything then it is that they might have been already too slow because they got caught in one of Xehanort's schemes.
Sora has the power too now he also unlocked 7 keyholes....becuase sora saving ventus is the most obvious thing to do for an epic fangasm
Exactly, Sora has gained the same power as Riku and he can use it as well.
Well, Aqua will be needed for a tour through Castle Oblivion, but I agree that Sora and Ventus finally meeting in person will surely be one of the most interesting moments in the series.
As Data-Naminé stated in Coded, they share a very special connection and Sora is deeply connected with Ven ever since he was born.
