So I had this thought a few days ago, but now with the confirmation that the secret ending of 2.5's Re:Coded will link to Chi I find it much more possible.
This theory explores the connections between Re:Coded and Chi and how this titles lead to the main story of KHIII.
The basis of this theory is that the Foretellers are an important plot feature of III's story. Many have theorised that they will play some larger role in this saga's finale. Although there have been many theories on how they would nicely tie into the story I don't think I've read anywhere giving any idea to how these beings from the past could possibly exist within the present time.
Of course one would assume time travel would be the way in which this would occur but under the laws that govern it, it's a bit of a complicated mess. Not saying that it couldn't work but it just seems too farfetched.
So I believe that time travel will have NO part in the foretellers appearance within III. So the question still remains as to how they will be present. And this is where the connection to re:Coded comes into play. The main plot of Re:Coded is exploring data or the datascape of worlds created from the journal, a book. Although the information inside the journal was lost it is explained that the memories of the events that occurred can never be erased.
So when we examine what we know about Chi the connection begins to develop. Chi's story is based on a fairytale that occurs within, that's right, a book. This books tells the legends of the Keyblade wielders and of course the foretellers.
The connection = the datascape.
You may recall in DDD when Young Xehanort explains time travel and his past to Sora. Well during the Traverse Town scene YX states that Sora has been to this place many times. His first journey, in memories, in the datascape, and in his dreams. Straight forward enough right? Yet what is odd is that YX mentions the datascape. But how would he of all people have knowledge of such a place? We only know the origins of the datascape in which Mickey and Co. created. But what if there were more than one? What if the Xehanorts were able to, by some means, create their own datascape from the pages of the Foretellers legend? It seems obviously plausible.
Re:Coded shows us that humans not of the Datascape have the ability to enter it - Mickey and Co. + Pete and Maleficent. Yet it never answered the question if being native to it could leave. If so what is stopping the Xehanorts from creating their own datascape of the Foretellers legend and bringing those beings into the present. All legend is rooted in truth and as we know the memories of events never fade. It would be the perfect way for Xehanort to gain the upper hand in the on coming new Keyblade war, without the need for sketchy time travel.
Thus the Chi scenes present in Re:Coded could connect the datascape to the entire plot. I always felt that it lacked development and integration into the series. We know Maleficent and Pete see value in the datascape but why? Their short screen in DDD only reinforced the fact that that is their present main goal. Are they still working with Xehanort? Unlikely, but I can't help but feel it's more important than we think.
