That would put an end to any hope of seeing the true KH in any of the games, which isn't as bad as it sounds. Following this idea, it would mean KH's visual/physical representation is impossible, we'd get to see something of a more abstract representation of a part of KH at most. Also, to reach KH, there wouldn't be a direct door or pathway or place to the true KH (at least by rational means and still respecting the regular physics of having a visible material body of sorts that isn't infinite and thus there's a place where you can directly experience it), but a transcendent experience also isn't quite covering the problem, as your own heart is simultaneously part of KH so a complete "view" doesn't come with this deal. A transcendetal experience sounds more adequate - you'd be able to, as KH1 addresses the player, look inside yourself, in a state of consciousness of being part of KH. But what use of being in multiple places simultaneously (everywhere where there's a heart after all)... Well actually...
Things get too involved in metaphysics and quatum physics somehow in my mind, I doubt the game would address such deepth to the questions regarding the true KH, as until now it's a well kept mystery despite all the misleading scenes with different KHs
Indeed, strictly spoken it would come to that since no matter
what the games may eventually visually show, it will never be the whole full thing.
Anything you say here is quite on the same line as I interpret the whole thing and I am almost sure that it would fly over the heads of most of the casual gamers/fans as well as the magazine editors who more than once have already brought up the question "When will we get to see the real Kingdom Hearts?".
Of course Nomura and co. keep being the vagueness gang as usual, since the answer of "one can never
see it because it has no comprehensible form in its entirety" would certainly dissatisfying and hypekilling despite being true.
well, The Master of Master did call it the book of prophecies to mislead people. Or just because outright calling it Future Diary is against copyright, eh.
What about Nobodies? Nobodies doesn't have any heart before the chance it gets . Sure, Nobodies can regrow their hearts, but what about who haven't ? Can't they summon Kingdom Hearts? I mean, the Nobodies in Re: CoM is exempt from Namine's powers because they lack hearts, so do this rule apply regarding Kingdom Hearts too?
That's indeed possible and as we see in Back Cover there are truly people stupid and unimaginative enough to follow its contents to the letter instead of thinking for themselves.
When I remember Ira babbling about events happening that aren't in the book and then
not wising up that blindly following the book and the "rules" might be an invitation to disaster I'm again inclined to facepalm.
Strictly spoken Aced had the right ideas at the start, he just went about "convincing" the others in a too forceful and rash manner.
Eh, Nobodies who haven't yet regrown a heart could theoretically stand outside the true real KH and witness it, but that yet again would require for the true full KH to have any physical/visual representation in the first place.
I've come to see Kingdom Hearts like this:
Kingdom Hearts is every heart technically. It's like a spirit bomb that never explodes. It's just sitting somewhere chillaxin. Kingdom Hearts has one true key that belongs to it as well.
Because of that last point, I believe everyone and everything's heart is sorta like Kingdom Hearts to an extremely lesser degree. Every heart has a key to their heart, but not everyone is strong enough to materialize and use it. A heart can hold the heart of another (though we've only seen Sora, Xehanort, and Terra do this so far)
In the end, I don't think Kingdom Hearts is going to be everything Xehanort hoped it to be. I'm expecting disappointment levels even greater than AnsemSoD's "BUT WHY???" Kingdom Hearts will be extremely powerful no doubt, but I honestly don't think Xehanort will be able to use it like he wants. Or that darkness can even so much touch the thing, let alone use it.
I think it's gonna end up being a "Only someone willing to take in hearts -like Kingdom Hearts itself- is worthy of even poking it, unlike Xehanort who infects everyone he touches."
I wonder why Gula thought summoning KH would make the Master return. Was it because it was SO BAD that even the Master would have to come back and fix it? Is that they knew the Master had interested in getting Kingdom Hearts? If Gula believed the latter, then I think that could add to Blaine possibly being Gula, but I'm convinced it's Luxu now
Hm, I like this interpretation quite much, also since it lines up with visual cues we already got from the games themselves with the imagery of the awakening platforms as well as doors and keyholes inside them.
In DDD Riku unlocks Sora's very own sleeping Keyhole to save his heart and is then transported into the core of Sora's heart which has the imagery of Destiny Islands and where the hearts of Ventus, Roxas and Xion as well as the digital Ansem the Wise reside.
The assessment of every heart
potentially having its own key lines also up with what Nomura said about the Master of Masters not necessarily "forging" the Keyblades like a physical weapon but "drawing them forth" from people's hearts and manifesting them.
Nomura also spoke once about an outer key (likely the physical representation seen in the outside world) and an inner key (the form of the blade seen only inside the heart/spirit world aka the awakening platforms) when talking about the Proto-X-blade in BBS.
The outer key which Aqua was facing looked complete, but it really wasn't as the inner key faced by Ventus looked brittle and broken due to the heart fusion not being complete.
The Proto-X-blade was thus most likely the "key" to the newly fused heart of Ventus/Vanitas while the Wayward Wind is the key for Ventus' heart alone and the Void Gear the same for Vanitas'.
This explains as well as to how Roxas could wield Oathkeeper and Oblivion in his duel with Sora in the "spirit world" aka the awakening station. One of these was the inner key of Kingdom Key (which Sora also wields in that battle, as it is confirmed Sora and Roxas can use the KK at the same time) while the other was likely the inner key of Wayward Wind.
If we go by this premise though the issue of people using a Keyblade that isn't drawn from their own heart (and thus their own "key") becomes quite intriguing.
Let's take Star Seeker as an example. It is implied that this Keyblade was originally Yen Sid's, thus it could be argued that Star Seeker is the "key" of Yen Sid's heart.
Yet Yen Sid passed this Keyblade on to Mickey, does that mean the old sorcerer has so much faith in Mickey that he entrusted him with the key to his own heart?
Not to even speak of the Kingdom Key and its hopping between wielders and how the apparent limited sentience Keyblades have plays into this.
The Master Keeper which is stated to be passed on always to the Protector of Land of Departure may even be the key of the heart of LoD, thus the Keyblade of a world rather than a person.
Heck, each world's heart in itself could be called a mini-Kingdom Hearts as when it dreams it dreams up all the citizens/hearts that are normally part of it.
Heh, about Xehanort and KH this reminds me of an assessment Xigbar makes in Days:
Xigbar said:
The gears of Xemnas' plans have begun to spin wild since the loss of half our membership at Castle Oblivion. The results are there, but can this state of affairs fairly be called a success? If Kingdom Hearts can be said to possess a mind of its own, it is surely rejecting Xemnas—no, rejecting Xehanort. Roxas left the Organization today.
Going by this and looking at how horribly Xehanort treats other hearts, even provoking the normally docile Sora into a bout of anger, I wonder if KH will not only
reject Xehanort and deny him its power, but actively work against him in some form like i.e. granting a temporary power boost to Sora and his allies?
Gula actually explains it in Back Cover. He tells Ava that he indeed speculates on the Master returning because he's planning a rule transgression so immense that he cannot possibly ignore it.
I remember when I watched BC for the first time I actually had the impression at first that Gula went batshit insane and pulling a Xehanort by having a greed for KH in himself awakened, making him become the traitor (and his actions
were what escalated things further, no doubt about that), but on a second observation I realized he was acting out of
despair.
Having failed in his assigned role and no more time to rectify things, not to mention he mentions to Ava that he doesn't even
understand half of the stuff written on the lost page, he's at a dead end and doesn't see any possible solution without the Master.
The Master explicitly forbade them from summoning Kingdom Hearts. Why? Who knows.
But it was Gula's logic that if he broke such a strict rule, the Master would have​ to show up in response.
Ava said its because no one knows what'll happen and therefore its too dangerous, but that's vague just as almost everything coming from the Master.
Yep, Gula practically was so desperate that he figured he needed to do a really drastic no-no thingy in order to draw the Master back and
then seeking answers from him and trying to save the world.
It's somewhat intriguing that there's apparently a conviction that the Master somehow
can return at all.
