The 'World'

[KeybladeCounsel]

This "True World" that MX speaks of. Y'know, the one started with before the Keyblade War? He makes it sound as though it was all one world that broke into pieces making many smaller worlds. This may have already been speculated but I don't really think that's what he meant. I think in the terms of the "World" it refers to a universe. And when he speaks of it being broken into many smaller worlds, he means many smaller universes. I mean how much sense would it make if all the Disney worlds shown so far and all the ones to come all were on the same world? But thoughts anyone? And sorry if this has already come to past, it just popped up in my head. Also with the "Next World" created through Kingdom Hearts? Clearly would be illogical to be talking about a sole planet.

Not to mention...

In ancient times, no such buffers kept the larger World divided; there were no walls of light enclosing each smaller world the way they do today. Nothing prevented one from physically interfering with the next.

I guess the only difference between the two times would be the walls of light.

I hope so, because I always looked at the reports and thought, "So there was only one world before the Keyblade War?" But now I'm like he must be speaking metaphorically. After all, that's what the Xehanorts do.

The 'World' is what was translated in earlier games as 'Realm', as in the Realm of Light. Go re-read Kairi's Grandma's story, it says the same thing you are :3

I made a thread on this a while ago, which compiles a bunch of Nomura quotes and game dialogue to show what we know about the worlds:

Ok, I took a look at the picture you made representing Kairi's Grandma's story. Now for your first one you have all three realms in it. But I thought due to what MX said that it was all one 'World', meaning all one realm at first?

 

[Goldpanner]

I am pretty sure back then they only knew of their own realm, that of light. And people were born with no darkness in their hearts. But darkness exists where light does; the greater the light, the greater the shadow, right? And both darkness and light are eternal. Both of those concepts have been talked about in KH. So I think there were always the realms (Worlds) existing side by side until people in the RoL started getting greedy and darkness was born in their hearts for the first time, which made shit go down.

 

[KeybladeCounsel]

Causing the three realms to clash right? Like pulling the RoD closer to the Realm of Light with the Realm In Between between them? Because of the Keyblade War and the succumbing to darkness.

Were the people fighting over the Light or the X-blade?

...............I'd say don't post stupid stuff like that if it hadn't made me laugh.

 

[Zarin I Yehudahi]

That's actually kinda funny lol. I always wondered if they had inspiration from that

 

[Radar]

Were the people fighting over the Light or the X-blade?

Can someone please answer that question?

 

[HeartSeams]

Both? Since the X-Blade coexists with Kingdom Hearts, it was basically the same thing that they were fighting over.

 

[Fallen Prince]

Both? Since the X-Blade coexists with Kingdom Hearts, it was basically the same thing that they were fighting over.

This bothered me. If they coexist, does this mean Van and Ven didn't really make it? It seems like the hearts should be uniting and just summoning the X blade instead of creating one. Co-exists kinda means "already exists" to me.

 

[Goldpanner]

Nah, their hearts definitely made it. That's why Ven went into a coma when they broke it; they broke his heart. Or so Vani said.

 

[Grey]

I thought the X-Blade was sealed within Ven's heart, which was the sole purpose of Master Xehanort training him and then creating Vanitas from him in the first place. Either that, or Ven just possessed a special quality that would allow him to summon the X-Blade.

Regardless, I saw the "creation of the X-Blade" as more of a re-creation than anything. The X-Blade already existed before the climax of Birth by Sleep, it's just that Vanitas tried to re-create it (and ultimately failed).
