History WMG / KingdomHeartsOpenTwo

* [[WesternAnimation/{{Cars}} Radiator Springs]]

* Film/{{Halloweentown}}. ([[WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas Um, no. Not that one]]. [[NamesTheSame The other one]].)

* This is a long shot, but a world based on ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist'' considering that Square holds the rights to the franchise, it could happen, and is more plausible than some of the more outlandish predictions here, but it's very unlikely.

* [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory Andy's Room]]

* [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory Buzz Lightyear]]

Sora, Sora, Sora, Sora. So he's a big damn hero with a shade of KnightTemplar, always ready to help his friends and smack the bad guys into obilvion. That, combined with a never say die attitude combined with a [[TastesLikeDiabetes practically eternal smile]], make him a perfect hero. [[FlatCharacter Perhaps too perfect.]]

* [[RelationshipWritingFumble Yes, I'm talking about THAT scene.]]You see, Sora, having a fairly large crush on Kairi, always imagined the two of them together, but when he's actually with Kairi, he CanNotSpitItOut. Boys, how many times have you approached the gal of your dreams only to act like a total idiot and either fumble with words, or act completely uninterested? So he does the only thing he can think of without looking stupid; just hug her back.

It's outright stated and seen that he absorbed all of the darkness in Zexion, almost definitely taking what ever part of Xehanort was in him at the same time (this would also explain why Ienzo seems to be so different in DDD). The Riku in the organisation cloak we saw in Monstro was real, he just didn't say anything because he thought Riku would figure it out (or because, like all the villains, he was just messing with Riku). As for how he died in Chain of Memories...They changed it so he sank into a puddle of darkness in Re: Chain of Memories. The exact same way a person might use a corridor of darkness. I'm not one of the people that have been pointlessly hoping the Replica be brought back but I think this would be a great opportunity to do it. After all they can't really introduce nine new characters into the new organisation (since apparently the time travelling Xehanorts can't be counted anymore). They're going to have to use a few more preexisting characters other than Xigbar and Saix. Repliku absorbing Zexion is just too good an opportunity to waste.

However, this does not mean every X is suspicious. What the possessed all had was an X over the chest, usually striking from the rest of the outfit. This was probably a trend Xehanort started with Terra. Riku's original outfit also bore an X, and he was promptly possessed by Ansem SoD. Sora's new outfit in KH3D is a plot point because of the giant X on his shirt. Certain characters have Xs on their designs, but they're either not very noticeable, or somehow interrupted, like on Aqua and Ventus, who's chest X's have what I assume is Eraqus' sigil on them. I believe this means they are not Recusants, at least for as long as they have that design.

[[WMG:Thoughts on KHIII]]
just a collection of things that might be in the next game such as

* Xion will have [[spoiler: Sora]]'s limit attacks at least the ones she used in 358Over2. her ultimate weapon will be called flawless/perfect memory.

[[WMG:The Lea in Dream Drop Distance is a mixture of both Lea and Axel's hearts.]]
That's why when he was reformed he still looked like Axel rather then what he looked like in BBS. Axel had [[spoiler: developed his own heart]] from his friendship with Roxas and Xion. When he came back both the new heart Axel made and Lea's heart merged together to become what was essentially a new person.

In 358/2 Days, nine of the bosses you fight are giant Emblem Heartless. Of those nine, one was created by Pete to destroy Roxas, but the other eight are of unexplained origin. That's right...eight. As in, the same number of Organization members who made it to Kingdom Hearts II. Now stay with me here: It's mentioned on the Fridge page that when a Heartless is destroyed and then it's Nobody are destroyed, in that order, the original complete being is reborn. So what if those eight heartless Roxas was sent to kill by the Organization were the heartless of the eight surviving members? Then when those members were killed, the original beings would have been reborn, with their hearts intact. In other words, Roxas and Sora collectively gave the Organization what they wanted.

*** Well that too, but my reason was because I'd incorrectly counted the number of Organization members (Roxas excluded, since he isn't one of them when the game starts) who made it to the second game: Axel, Xemnas, Luxord, Xaldin, Demyx, Xigbar, Saix. That's only seven Organization members in [=KH2=] and eight Emblems killed by Roxas in Days. (Again, not counting the one Pete sent to kill him.) In order for this theory to hold true, we would have to accept that the Organization just sent Roxas after an extra Heartless for no particular reason.

People complain that [=KH2=] Sora doesn't feel like the regular Sora at all and is just a stereotype of a 90s teenager. This was an intentional ploy by the writers to show how Sora's journey has left him so shattered that he's forced to develop alternate personalities to handle the various turmoils in his life. That's why he can go from "Let's star in a musical~" to "RAWR KILL THE ORGANIZATION" at the drop of a hat.

* Okay, so VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance reveals [[spoiler: Nobodies can grow hearts.]] By defeating Twilight Thorn, Roxas was [[spoiler: completing the heart growing inside of him by destroying his last connection to being a Nobody.]]

** It is also worth mentioning that despite being separated, Kairi expent that year safe at their homeworld. Riku, in the other hand, was thought to be lost forever, and while Sora knew Riku was back for a while thanks to Mickey, finally meeting with Riku cracked him, because he finally made sure his best friend was alive.

[[WMG:The reason you don't see Demyx, Luxord, Marluxia, or Larxene in Dream Drop Distance is...]]
...because you ''have''. In the World That Never Was. Along with Xemnas, Xigbar, Saix, [[spoiler: Ansem SoD, Master Xehanort, Young Master Xehanort,...]]

In the intro to KH:3DS, Sora is shown facing off against Xehanort in the Keyblade Graveyard. With Sora is Donald, Goofy, Mickey, Riku, Kairi, Roxas, Ventus, Terra, and Aqua. Excluding Donald and Goofy for obvious reasons, that makes eight keyblade wielders. Terra is possessed by Xehanort and never met Sora long enough to connect, so he's out. That makes seven hearts connected to Sora, who have keyblades.

[[WMG:In 3DS, Xehanort was successful in transplanting a piece of his heart into a new vessel]]

We have learnt in DDD that nobody's are capable of developing new hearts. Therefore, Roxas's heart being transplanted into Ventus would be a possible fix for Ventus's raptured heart problems. Assuming Sora and Roxas split off somehow, there will be some sudden new motivation for Roxas willing to help out Ventus since they're obvious physiologically identical despite Nomura stating they're separate entities, and perhaps there will be new character development such as Roxas realising that he is Ventus all along.

So Roxas has his own heart, along with Xion. Sora mentions in 3D, [[spoiler:before Roxas transfers his memories into Sora]], that Roxas deserves to be his own person. He also mentions that Xion does, indeed, have a heart.

[[WMG:One of the New World in Kingdom Hearts III (or Birth by Sleep Volume 2) will be [[VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou Shibuya.]]]]

His plan, as speculated by Yen Sid, is to create an army of Heartless and convince other worlds to join his cause so as to trigger a war against the heroes of Light. The heroes will begin a campaign to gather all of the worlds they can to their cause, leading up to an epic climactic war between Xehanort's army (whose army's generals may be Final Fantasy villains) and Sora's army, consisting of the Final Fantasy heroes, the Keyblade Masters, and all of his Disney friends. Of course, Xehanort's ultimate plan is to trick them into inadvertently sacrificing themselves to the re-creation of the χ-blade.

[[WMG:The Drive Forms of Kingdom Hearts II will be replaced with Keyblade Armor]]
After Sora and Riku complete their Mark of Mastery examinations at the end of 3D, they'll be given Keyblade Armor as signs of their mastership, which will be implemented into the gameplay in Kingdom Hearts III.

According to 3D, Xehanort needs the seven "Guardians of Light" (I think that's what they were called) alongside his Org. XIII to make the χ-Blade. We've all been assuming they meant our heroes, but I was thinking: Which ones? Let's see, we've got Sora, Riku, Kairi, Mickey, Terra, Aqua, Ventus, Axel, and maybe Roxas. Excuse me if I don't know how to count, but that's more than 7.

* In DDD Master Xehanort said [[spoiler: "Sora and another on your list are mine now" referring to Terra]] when Mickey was counting off the number of lights. Terra is still with Xehnort so the number is still 7. [[spoiler: Axel is Terra's replacement]]

[[WMG:Kingdom Hearts III will end with the Princess of Light de-powered.]]

With Creator/SquareEnix buying Creator/CrystalDynamics in 2009, and considering that characters from VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou appeared in [[VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance Dream Drop Distance]], it's not beyond the realm of possibility.

At the end of III, we all know some awesome stuff will happen. Since most of the OC cast is immune to death due to prior promises, it would make sense for Maleficent to make an EnemyMine HeroicSacrifice to save the world she wants to conquer. Now, in IV, she is replace by the Big Bad from Princess and the Frog, who summons Heartless in order to break the Key Holes of various worlds due to a promise he made his "friends on the other side". Throughout, he uses Pete's Heartless as a familiar. In his climatic battle with Sora, his defeat is interrupted by Maleficent's return. She reveals she only made that sacrifice because she can not be killed as long as their is evil. Also, she's spent the last few months piggy-backing in Ventus's heart where she tapped into a stronger source of darkness: Vanitas. After feeding the wannabe to his "friends" so she can absorb his darkness, Maleficent brings back an uber-powerfull Pete for you to fight while she makes hr leave. After she turns Radiant Gardens back into Hollow Bastion, Sora and co. have to follow her into the True Final Dungeon, where they face their evil duplicate team: Vanitas, Maleficent, and Pete. After beating them, you battle Vanitas twice(once with aid, once without) at which point he absorbs his Keyblade and a few Unversed for a final battle... only for Malficent to reapear, chastize him for doubting her, and them take his power for herself. Finally fully charged, she creates a huge portal to the Darkworld and creates a giant version of herself to re-write reality as she wants it. Meanwhile, you fight her Physical God-mode body, which has become extremely frail due to containing more darkness than the combined powers of Hell. After vanquishing her and ending the game(with help from Kairi, if the above theory is true), we see her finally entering her ideal world: One where she was invited to Aurora's birthday party. Awwwww...

* [[Film/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy Galactic Sector [=ZZ9=] Plural Z Alpha]]

** Partially confirmed in [[Videogame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance Dream Drop Distance]], but no word yet on anything from ''Fantasia 2000''.

* [[WesternAnimation/DuckTales Duckberg]]

* A world based on ''WesternAnimation/Fantasia2000'' Specifically based on Rhapsody in Blue or the Steadfast Toy Soldier would work best for this one, though it would be cool if the triangles from the 5th Symphony and the whales from Pines of Rome showed up as summons. Rhapsody in Blue would take place in New York City, and would consist of Sora, Donald, and Goofy racing around town helping out the subjects of that segment before everything coming to a head and the party having to fight some sort of giant urban themed monster. Steadfast Toy Soldier would basically just follow the plot of the segment, and have the Jack in the Box (Or it's Heartless) as the final boss.

** If they ''ever'' did any sort of Transformers world, they'd probably get the rights from Paramount to base it on [[Film/{{Transformers}} the movieverse]], and Sora and his companions most likely wouldn't change form. This seems slightly more plausible than it would have a few years ago (mostly because of Disney's deal with Paramount concerning the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse), but is still pretty implausible.

** Or TheKaneChronices, as it wouldn't interfere with OC.

** Since Cartoon Network used to air Disney shows and some Disney movies, [[Main/RuleOfCool why not]]? Imagine Stronger than You as the boss theme!!!!
* A world based on ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' as it is pretty much the only big Square Property (That is wholly theirs) that has yet to make an appearance in a Kingdom Hearts Game. It could be similar to Symphony of Sorcery with the End of Time acting as a hub, and the various eras acting as smaller worlds, or, alternatively, characters from the franchise show up in the games like Final Fantasy Characters did in earlier installments
* A world based on the Rite of Spring segment from ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}'' Think the Pridelands but with Dinosaurs, and a final boss battle against the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

* A world based on ''WesternAnimation/Epic'' If Disney decides to do anything with Blue Sky's properties, Epic would be the best film to adapt into a Kingdom Hearts World, though Ice Age would probably get in first due to how recognizable it is

[[WMG:The most powerful weapon in KH is one's will]]
How do Beast and Riku jump worlds in [=KH1=]? They will themselves to. Xemnas is the most powerful entity, and yet he lacks a heart, but he, as well as the other nobodies, has the will to find a true existence.

People complain that [=KH2=] Sora doesn't feel like the regular Sora at all and is just a stereotype of a 90s teenager. This was an intentional ploy by the writers to show how Sora's journey has left him so shattered that he's forced to develop alternate personalities to handle the various turmoils in his life. That's why he can go from "Let's star in a musical~" to "RAWR KILL THE ORGANIZATION" at the drop of a hat.

And his true element isn't water. It's actually dance. He does control the Dancer Nobodies after all, and his weapon is a musical instrument. His power over dance allows him to control things by playing his music. His power is SO strong, in fact, that he can control almost anyone, even Xemnas, making him the leader of Organization XIII, and the strongest character in all of the Kingdom Hearts series.

* There's no way a slacker like Demyx could control water in addition to his true element. No, the real wielder of dance is the black cloaked moogle in 385/2 Days. The reason Demyx acts so lazy and incompetent (he has to reread his orders mid-mission in his first appearance) is because he is resisting the moogle's manipulation of him through the power of dance. Those who doubt the moogle's powers and skill would do well to remember that s/he is the only member of the Organization that isn't killed or absorbed by the end of [=KH2=].

* Xehanort's Heartless (the one we fought in [=KH1=]) is essentially [[spoiler:Terra and MX's combined hearts, with MX being dominant]]. Xemnas, however, [[spoiler:is all Terra.]] If [[spoiler:Terra knew that being consumed by darkness would split his heart from his body]], perhaps the whole idea of becoming a heartless in the first place was [[spoiler: Terra's attempt to free his body from Xehanort's control]].

*** With the release of 3D, [[spoiler: that last part is un-Jossed. The Xemnas seen in the game is timeline-displaced, he's around because he hasn't been defeated by Sora and Riku yet.]]

[[WMG:Namine [[GambitPileup planned everything in Kingdom Hearts II]] in order to get Roxas to merge with Sora and then allow herself to merge with Kairi.]]

[[WMG:Kingdom Hearts III might include:]]

[[WMG:There will be thirteen games in the Kingdom Hearts series.]]

* I've got a guess how it will go. Kingdom Hearts 3, two games with silly names, Kingdom Hearts 4, two more games with silly names, and Kingdom Hearts 5 will be the GrandFinale.

** Well, as long as they make no more side games after Dream Drop Distance...
** It's stupid to handwave side games like that, especially since Chain of Memories, a side game, was vital to the overall plot.

[[WMG:Organization XIII members kept calling Sora "Roxas" during Kingdom Hearts II because when they looked at him, they saw Roxas.]]

Because [[IncrediblyLamePun nobody]] wants to be having sex while seeing their twin.

* This is one of the many indications that Xion was pre-planned. There is also a seashell being washed away by the tides in the ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'' opening, which makes far more sense after 358Over2Days. As noted above, Sora seems to shift appearences depending on who's looking at him after absobing Roxas, which also makes sense when you consider Xion's nature. Also she explains why Axel was surprised by Roxas's DualWielding and in the scene you mentioned Roxas focuses on this picture specifically maybe because it's the only way he can see his friends.
** Nomura himself said that Xion was planed since [=KH2=] was in development.

[[WMG:Nobodies not appearing in Kingdom Hearts II.]]
They don't appear because their masters were killed in Chain of Memories

*** But isn't [[http://www.khwiki.net/Specter Specter]] a lesser nobody under Marluxia's command? It's more like a KingMook rather than a regular [[{{Mooks}} Mook]], though.

[[WMG:Vanitas Will Become Sora's SuperPoweredEvilSide in KHIII]]

[[WMG:The Big Heart-shaped Moon Kingdom Hearts Xehanort conjures in the sky in Birth By Sleep is made up of hearts of those who were in the Keyblade War]]
Kingdom Hearts 2's Moon was made by captive hearts released from slain heartless, so I thought in a Keyblade War, you would be releasing hearts when stabbing people with the keyblade.

We've seen through the series the keyblade, mostly Sora's but in 358/2 Days all the other keyblade users, and some not, have their weapon of choice change apparently based upon the keychain attached to it, or the gear used. Or when neither is present.

The base form of all keyblades, on the other hand, is probally based on the user's own personal mindset and emotions, which is why Sora, Roxas, and Xion all have the same Kingdom Key, Mickey has the Kingdom Key D, and Riku has the Way to Dawn, all 3 being confirmed as "Base" forms in the KHII Extra Ending.

This is further exemplified in the ending of 358/2 Days, and the beginning of Kingdom Hearts II. When Roxas summons two keyblades for the first time, at first their both Kingdom Keys, but then drawing on the memories he might have absorbed from Xion, he transformed them into keyblades from Sora's past. Arguments twords Sora not having the Oblivion when Roxas was created can be handwaved by Roxas being "Zombie-like" during the period after his formation, during this gap is presumably when Sora gained the Oblivion, and when Xion was created. After all Roxas didn't have complete memories of Sora until absorbing her anyway.

Later in KHII, he lost most of his memories until the second boss battle with Axel, where he really does remember, and it is only THEN that he is able to re-use his Oathkeeper/Oblivion combo. Without his memories, the best he can do is the Kingdom Key, which is part of his core personality. There's also other keyblade wielders, such as Master Eraquis, whose keyblades seem evocative of their own personality.

It's just a metaphor. The true love togetherness cosmic magic legend is just a rumor passed around by bored teenagers trapped on an island. They occur as a recurring motif simply as a symbol of other, more important themes that Kingdom Hearts revolves around.

[[WMG:The events of VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII already happened but it was Tifa who died, not Aerith]]

[[WMG:Surviving Replicas from the Replica Program will be enemies in Kingdom Hearts III.]]

[[WMG:The Big Bad of Kingdom Hearts III will be...]]
[[spoiler: An amnesiac Axel.]] Search your [[IncrediblyLamePun heart]], you know that would be intense!

[[WMG:At almost any other point in time, Riku jumping into the Darkness at the beginning of [=KH1=] would have been a ''good'' thing.]]
We know by now that neither the Light nor the Dark is automatically good or bad and that there are Keyblades that hail from both realms. Riku's statement "I'm not afraid of the Dark(ness?)!" shows that he would actually be a good candidate to wield from this realm. Many people would naturally be afraid of the Dark because it is so different from the Light which they are more familiar with. Someone who could understand Darkness and not be afraid of it would be a good person to wield a Keyblade from that realm. However by the beginning of Kingdom Hearts 1, previous events have caused a serious corruption in the Darkness leading to some decidedly not fun times for Riku.

* 3D though suggests that the χ-Blade had always existed alongside Kingdom Hearts in the beginning, and that the war was fought for control over the χ-Blade and consequently, KH, but was destroyed in the clash.

So Kingdom Hearts 1 lays out a potential [[ChekhovsGunman Chekhov's firing squad]]. Sora's a nice, naive guy molded into a fighter and ''just'' coming in touch with his more human side (his capability to genuinely love rather then [[KnightTemplar being good for the sake of being good]] and realizing the existence of his darkness). Let's move on.

KH:[=CoM=]. Character wise, nothing really happened. But we begin to see cracks in his Lawful Good persona. First: "Traverse Town". The very fact that he managed to ''train himself'' using only his memories could possibly mean that he is cleverer than he thinks he is (at least, subconsciously). Then: "Wonderland". We see the level of deceit that Sora is potentially capable of. Remember that ''Alice is not real, she is a '''figment of Sora's imagination''' ''. It's quite possible that Sora was ''aware'' of this and asked Namine to restore his old memories (and, by definition, his old personality).

This point would then turn Yen Sid into some kind of EccentricMentor. (If he wasn't already one, that was.) He knew of Sora's internal struggle and put two subtle hints about his duality: the mirrors and colour of his clothes. So he was telling Sora he wasn't fighting for the Light because the Light chose him, but because '''he''' chose the Light. Sora finally understands sometime after he meets (and fights) Roxas: Driving anytime after the scene with randomly give you the Final Form, which is white, [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic which is the combination of all colours.]] And yet, his clothing has stripes of black, which probably means he [[IncrediblyLamePun finally]] accepted his darkness and decided to do good with it. [[FridgeBrilliance The very fact that you cannot go into Anti-Form this way is further proof of this.]] The ending almost outright states that when Sora accepted to live in the Dark if it meant world peace, the bottle appeared to yank him back home. [[EarnYourHappyEnding Possibly meaning the Light opened up the way to his home because he accepted the Darkness.]]

[[WMG:Kingdom Hearts 2 (and their subsequent games) is a delibrate TakeThat against [[BlackAndWhiteMorality the polarisation of humankind into absolutes]].]]

Even without the OXIII, his travels become some kind of a vice that increases his stress. It's not so much on having to chase down the OXIII (which Sora dosen't take seriously at this point), it's the '''time''' he spends traveling. Sora's hormones finally get a chance to manifest themselves after being stuck in 1 year of statis - turning his determination into hard-headedness, letting his emotions get the better of his judgment, and, finally, [[HaveIMentionedIAmSexuallyActiveToday realizing his capability for sexual and romantic (rather then asexual and platonic) love.]]

(This may very well explain why Sora never explains his actions: Having to verbalize the thought would mean having to face it later. And face it: if Sora was truly aware of his depth of his relationship with Kairi, he wouldn't have acted in a way that implied that [[SheIsNotMyGirlFriend Sora was embarrassed of having * that* kind of relationship with Kairi]] even though Kairi was ''already'' his girlfriend.)

Now the finale (for KHII, at least): Meeting the rest of the Organisation. Sora probably knew about the existence of his darkness but dismissed it. So he storms the castle, [[strike:guns]] Keyblade blazing. ''Then'' he gets to see [[OhCrap how and why the OXIII deserves its reputation.]] Enter the last foreign emotion: ''fear''. It was not that Sora ''never'' experienced fear, just not the "Oh crap I'm going to die ''now''" fear. And the fact that Roxas felt this fear too probably didn't help.

'''That''' my friends, is exactly why the OXIII are the big bads of [=KH2=].

** But that was in the Final Mix, which possibly meant Nomura shoehorned that part in to generate the plot of COM and II. In fact, the [[SequelHook secret ending]] was meant to test how well the audience would respond to a darker game (it was made by Disney, after all). So when it got critical acclaim, he expanded on the Nobody lore and made them important.

Doubtless Normua likes to screw with people ever since [=CoM=] came out. (See above Light v Dark arugment. It could be argued that Light was absolute dominance (but in a good way) and Dark was free will, splitting the universe into many forms because the HiveMind was too freaky... but that's for another WMG.) So it wouldn't be surprising if Noruma managed to take everything that has happened into canon and reinterpret it so ''hard'' that even Master Xenahort would be spinning in his grave screaming "WTF?".

Back to Traverse Town. Kairi gives Sora her lucky charm, which becomes the Keychain for his Oathkeeper. So, subtle form of RelationshipUpgrade? How about maybe, just maybe, she's just trying to give confidence to the boy who has to defeat ''evil incarnate'' with just the help of a [[IncrediblyLamePun goofy]] person, a duck, and a oversized key?

Fastfoward to KHII... and Sora doesn't even realise he has Oath Keeper until later in the game. That alone should mean something. Not to mention that he only mentions Kairi as a passing remark since she was safe. If he truly liked her that way, if would have at least be ''more'' concerned. Even Kairi's kidnap didn't do much (truth be told, he was already raring to go the OXIII's base and kick ''their'' asses), which meant that even though he had every intention of rescuing Kairi, he remained rather emotionally detached towards to whole affair. In all fairness, Xigbar was raining down bullets on his ass and calling him Roxas. A guy's gotta have priorities, after all.

* Which would mean KH would probably end in a semi Downer Ending. Sora shows Riku the Secret Ansem Report (that one that said Kairi was from Radiant Garden), so he returns Kairi home. Riku travels around the world as a keyblade master [[TheAtoner partly in regret that he destroyed his homeworld]], and Sora, after freeing Ventus's heart and finally getting rid of Master Xehanort, hangs up his Keyblade, since, technically, he was never a Keyblade master. Even my computer crashed when I thought up of that idea.

* If the scene in question was the end of the original KH... that might have been pretty much the only choice she had left. She couldn't join Riku because he was already sealed inside the Realm of Darkness. She couldn't join Sora to find Riku because she didn't know how to fight at that time. Maybe she thought Sora could use a gummi ship to travel to said Realm of Darkness, so she would have not much motivation to leave Sora in pretty much the middle of nowhere... Or you could just [[MindScrew blame Noruma.]]
** No, the scene I was referring to is in the prolouge of Kingdom Hearts. Kairi suggests that they leave Riku behind and take off on the raft by themselves.

* Sora's "long ass story" is just this, Riku's heart was too weak so no macguffin(for that time) for you. Also see above entry about Sora's apparent hero decay plus he is proved to be very capable of using both keyblades (Light and Dark) in his final drive form(oh yeah, the DRIVE forms, another power up...) and with Roxas we can see that Sora has plenty of darkness in his heart too(see the same above entry again, that fellow troper explained how Sora accepted the darkness in his heart as part of his character growth). Sorry, no matter how i squint my eyes i can't see Riku becoming stronger than Sora and i'm not using fangirl bias here.

* Pretty much confirmed in Dream Drop Distance given how Sora is captured by the antagonists and it's up to Riku to fight like six final bosses to get him back. He even gets acknowledged as the superior and gains the status of Master when Sora doesn't.

[[WMG:Kingdom Hearts III will feature Princes of Darkness]]

* Or maybe something else like seven dark hearts? [[Film/BabesInToyland Barnaby]] is Greed, [[WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967 Shere Khan]] is Pride, [[LegendOfSleepyHollow Ichabod Crane]] is gluttony, [[WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron Creeper]] is Sloth, [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney Frollo]] is Lust, (Come on, how could you ''not'' do that?) [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Gaston]] is wrath, and I forget who Envy would be.

[[WMG:Final battle of Kingdom Hearts III]]

[[WMG:Kingdom Hearts 3 will end with showing the Keyblade Graveyard and in a flash of light lots, maybe even ALL, of the Keyblades then disappear]]
* [=KH3=] is the end of the Xehanort Saga according to Nomura so it would make for a WhamEnding and SequelHook.

[[WMG:There will be another prequil titled Kingdom Hearts: The Keyblade War.]]

*** True but that was only for kingdom hearts 1 and 2, Now that he's drawn all of Amano's characters for Dissidia (he notably stated that Garland was like designing a brand-new character.)...
*** Well, now we've got Gilgamesh in ''Dissidia 012''. Tough to tell whether this is good or bad for his odds of appearing in a Kingdom Hearts title - they dropped Laguna from ''Birth by Sleep'' because he was already in ''012''.
*** I want to see the 6 warriors of light in KHIII, they would all be named after there class because they where all named Alex and they need to tell each other apart

** Further, said keyblade will look like the [[InfinityPlusOneSword Lion Heart]] and the battle's theme will be a remix of [[AwesomeMusic/FinalFantasy Don't Be Afraid]] from VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII. And after somebody (probably Yuffie or Sora) calls him Leon again, he'll correct them: "It's [[HesBack Squall.]]"
* Enitrely possible. As Braig has told Terra in BBS when he "kidnapped" Xehanort, [[http://youtu.be/r45wGTtZVE4?t=5m31s 'if I beat you, i'm the real keyslinger]] based off the information he picked up from Xehanort. And not a word of doubt from Terra when he said it.

** Even ''worse'', take a look at Leon's deck while he's teaching Sora about battle in Re:Chain of Memories. Take note of the types of cards. Are they gunblades? Nope, all of them are Kingdom Keys...

[[WMG:Ven's random unexplained shrinkage in Cinderella's world(and the accompanying shrunk Unversed) are a result of a Mini spell gone wrong.]]

* Flood - Irritation, according to WordofGod.

* Prize Pod - Some small remnant of niceness left in [[MadeofEvil Vanitas?]] It's hard to assign any negative emotion to a cheerful floating purple blob that hands out yummy treats with cutesy names instead of attacking. That would also explain their rarity.

[[WMG:In Kingdom Hearts III...]]

This is why, in the Pride Lands, Sora took the form of a lion cub instead of an adolescent lion, even though the older lion form would have made more sense for Sora. Donald still sees Sora as a child, either because the fact that Sora went through puberty while sleeping for a year hasn't really sunk into his mind yet(understandable, after waking up and seeing that this cute kid has suddenly gained about a foot of height and a deeper voice), or because Sora's childishness makes it easy to forget his age.

[[WMG:Sora is UnskilledButStrong, while Terra, Ven, and Aqua(and possibly other keyblade users) are WeakButSkilled.]]
The huge variety of techniques available to the BBS protagonists isn't just the game developers veering away from the "Mash X until the enemy is dead" gameplay of the first two KH games - it reflects how much more the BBS protagonists know about using the keyblade. Sora was able to figure out a few neat tricks on the fly, but the main strategy he relies on is just running up to enemies and hitting them. Despite having no formal training and only knowing rudimentary magic and keyblade techniques, he defeats enemies simply because he can bulldoze his way through fights with massive amounts of raw power.

* In [=KH3=], he's going to turn into a Key Blade; wielded by flashes of the various people he has been.

* I was under the impression that everything that exists in the KH-verse has a heart, though. I mean, even the worlds have hearts. Which would then lead to Nobodies not "existing" due to the technicality of them not having a heart.

I have a theory that many of them were initially guardians / potential guardians (a-la Slayers from Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer) of the Princesses of Heart (which itself is a "Chicken or Egg" problem). They could manifest the power of their own Heart in the form of a special weapon (ex: the Dream Weapons and Riku's Soul Eater) to aid in the defending the Princesses. Some worlds started to have an increased imbalance of Light and Dark - possibly through Darkness-tainted Magic - and the Darkness began to be manifest in strange forms. Whether these are the predecessors of Unversed does not matter but the one weapon that could defeat the Darkness-Manifest and their masters were weapons manifested from the more Light-aspect of the guardians' Hearts. Over time, the attributes of the manifest-weapons were refined and Keyblades were forged. Of course, as the weapons are formed from Hearts and Hearts can change, they can be used by a Dark Keyblade Master.

One of my favorite scenes in the first game is the confrontation between Sora and Riku, and seeing it again, I realize why Sora gets the keyblade (back). It's not because Riku uses darkness, (I don't know why people even think that from the context of the scene, Riku had already entered Dark Mode, and tried to kill Sora with Dark Firaga before he lost the keyblade so that can't be it.) so that can't be it.) But what they actually say, from Riku's WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway to Sora's PowerOfFriendship and HeartIsAnAwesomePower... Y'know what I think I'll let those two do the talking, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvnTSI2NLtQ
-->Riku: "Your heart? What good will that weak little thing do for you?"
-->Sora: "Although my heart may be weak, it's not alone. It's grown with each new experience, and it's found a home with all the friends I made. [[CallBack I've become a part of their heart just as they've become a part of mine.]] And if they think of me now and then...[[{{Foreshadowing}} If they don't forget me]]... then our hearts will be one. [[BadassBoast I don't need a weapon. My friends are my power.]]"

[[WMG:Aqua will become an "Obi-Wan" of sorts to Sora in Kingdom Hearts III]]

** Oh, c'mon. Nobody dies in Kingdom Hearts. Every "death" thus far has been reversible. [[MemeticBadass Not to mention Aqua's too badass to ever die.]]

Kingdom Hearts is the "deity", and source of all creation in the Kingdom Hearts Universe. All hearts come from it, and when someone dies, or a Heartless is defeated, the Heart is released, and returns to Kingdom Hearts. Kingdom Hearts contains both Light and Darkness, and the Heart is left to reside in the realm where it would be most comfortable. Even remaining in the living realm as a spirit if wanted.

* True names seem to matter. Xemnas asks Roxas if he remembers his True Name. This goes back to memories, of which Nobodies can be associated with (Chain of Memories, Namine has power over memories, Nobodies do not have memories at first). Nobodies like those of Organization XIII are not unique, there are more, and they can only be destroyed, truly destroyed, if, and ''only'' if they do NOT know their true name. This means that some of Organization XIII will return (Possibly Demyx, Luxord, Marluxia, and Larxene). These four are not truly "dead", because they all are taken into a vortex. They do not die like, say, Axel or Xigbar do, where they fade away without a Vortex involved.

* Vanitas is a being of pure darkness, so senseless murder wouldn’t be beyond him. Because Vanitas tends to follow Master Xehanort around, it’s not hard to assume that he gets bored during one of MX and Braig’s initial meetings and leaves to find amusement. He ends up at Ienzo’s home and chooses to use the Unversed to torment Ienzo’s parents in front of their son, before outright killing them himself. He then leaves, causing Ienzo to suffer from PTSD. Later, Ienzo is found and taken in by Ansem the Wise and his apprentices. The events of Birth By Sleep happened fairly soon afterward, since it’s implied that Ienzo’s arrival at the castle was a fairly recent occurrence, especially by his quiet nature and apparent unwillingness to listen to Even’s orders about staying in the castle. When he encounters the Flood Unversed and is rescued by Ven, he acts unsurprised at their appearance, like he had seen them before. Once Ansem begins his experiments on the heart and darkness, Ienzo sees the opportunity to study the darkness so he can understand what it’s like, so that he can use that knowledge to find Vanitas and avenge his parents. This is what drives him to insist on continuing the experiments. Ultimately, however, his desire for vengeance is what causes his susceptibility to succumbing to darkness.

[[WMG:Kingdom Hearts III will be about the Second Keyblade War, and Kairi will use the knowledge she gained from her grandmother's story to serve as a guiding light during/after the war.]]
Based on Xehanort's accounts, Kairi's grandmother's story is about the Keyblade War and its aftermath. [[ChekhovsGun No doubt this will be important.]] If Kingdom Hearts III will be the conclusion of the Xehanort saga, it will also be the climax of his plot- a new Keyblade War.

* Well, Nomura IS a huge Star Wars fan... wouldn't surprise me.

[[WMG:Kingdom Hearts III will feature Sora & Co. as adults.]]
Sora and the gang all aged between I and II, so it's possible they will age during the gap between II and III as well. Since the gap between games is longer this time they will age a lot more than between I and II. I expect a five-seven year TimeSkip between II and III which will place Sora in his early twenties with a [[TookALevelInBadass level in badass]] to match.

[[WMG:In Kingdom Hearts III Xehanort will [[WreckedWeapon break Sora's keyblade]].]]

[[WMG:If Kingdom Hearts III visits [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Port Royal]] that world's plot will go OffTheRails.]]

In KH, Sora holds Kairi's and Ven's heart. Kairi had Namine. However, I think Roxas was actually a nobody for Ven due to their blatant similarities. So Sora has one more nobody for himself he has not found yet. My only obscure evidence (assuming Storyline and Gameplay segregation is not applied) is Sora spontaneously activating anti-form implied hes still unstable after Roxas reunion. Tetsuya do leave uncanon hints like the Armor battle in Final Mix which become significant for BBS.

[[WMG:Xehanort's role as BigBad will be usurped in Kingdom Hearts III.]]

* My guess is that Axel woudl become Lea again if his heart is freed...Roxas would probably become Ventus again...but what about Xion? Would she suddenly become a little Yuffie-like wielder? (I thought she looked more like Yuffie than Kairi - it's the black hair)
** She theoretically ''can'' become her own person due to [[spoiler:TheReveal in Dream Drop Distance about growing hearts.]] The same is true for Roxas as he cannot become Ventus "again" since he never was Ventus to begin with, they have two different senses of self so he would become his own person. As for Axel, [[spoiler:he's already back as Lea, with Axel's memories to boot.]]

Towards [=BBS=], problems surfaced. [[KnightTemplar Eraqus went a little too far fighting the Dark.]] Yen Sid wanted to train a pupil called Mickey, but Eraqus flat out refused, because he was not "pure". Yen Sid secretly trained Mickey though, and when found out, ordered Xenahort to peform a Rite of ''Denial'' to Yen Sid as punishment. As their relationship threatend to fall apart, Xehanort had to secretly modify their memory so it would seem that Yen Sid had retired of his own violition, Mickey was his legitimate pupil, and Eraqus had approved all this.

* Why Riku was so easily swayed to darkness [[spoiler:(Xehanort took advantage of the bond that Terra had made with him back in [=BBS=] and tried to make him into Terranort 2.0)]].

This explains why they aren't available in Birth By Sleep, and why Mickey had to go into the Dark Realm to find his.

* Further, it will be split into two fights, one between Riku and Vanitas in the mid-game, and another between Kairi and Vanitas at the end. Better yet, the Riku/Vanitas fight will take place [[BookEnds in the same room you fought Rikunort in KH1]].

Because, as a mermaid, she does not have the same kind of heart that humans do. In the original story, she [[spoiler:earns the right to earn a soul after [[HeroicSacrifice sacrificing herself]]]], but all that happens in the movie is Triton makes her human. There are no guarantees that ''this'' gave her a traditionally human being, and even if there were, in KH, she's ''still a mermaid''. Therefore, her heart registers as impure--[[PureIsNotGood literally]]. She has "imperfections" from the point of view of a human heart.

[[WMG:The ending to Kingdom Hearts III...]]

[[WMG:Zack [[spoiler: did indeed die at the end of Birth by Sleep...]]]]

My theory is that, for his own inscrutable reasons Sephiroth used his powers to merge with Zack. It is my only explanation for [[spoiler: his strange fate at the end of Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep]]

* The rest of organization XIII (minus Roxas and Axel), or at least Braig, Dilan, Even, Aeleus, and Ienzo. We'll see just how dark they were with their hearts, that they created TheHeartless.

KHII. The fun starts here. It ''seems'' that Sora is back to his old KHI self. Then you realize: 1. His clothes no longer fit him. 2. [[PubertySuperpower His voice has broken.]] Sora goes to Yen Sid's tower to get new clothes. After some argument, the 3 faries decided on a common design. His clothes are now ''black''. [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic Black is the colour in the absence of all other colour.]] To further nail in that something serious is going to happen, one of his mirrors give Sora the vision of losing himself to the darkness. [[FridgeBrilliance All this is even handwaved as a Rule Of Cool.]] So Sora sets out to save the world again....huh? Did he just get more hard-headed? How come his naivety got [[UpToEleven turned up to eleven?]] (Case in point: when he got arrested by the MCP, he was messing around with the computer. After the dataspace is unlocked, he [[BerserkButton bangs the computer]] because the data of the OXIII is corrupt.) And then the kicker, which hits you ''in the middle of the game.'' Say there's a boss you need to fight. You select Valor Form... [[OhCrap Wait a minute, did you just turn into a]] ''[[SuperpoweredEvilSide heartless?]]''

Related to below. If [[WesternAnimation/RobinHood Sherwood Forest]] is featured in an upcoming game, Sora will arrive in the midst of Prince John or meet him first, and witness Robin Hood stealing from him. He'll see a royal monarch and a rogue trying to rob him, and come to the [[TheGoodKingdom logical conclusion]]. He will initially ally himself with Prince John (but most likely dislike him) and eventually meet Robin Hood personally and find out who the real villain is. Cue apologies, Robin Hood is added to the party, and Prince John is overthrown.

* [[WesternAnimation/RobinHood Sherwood Forest]]
* A world based on ''WesternAnimation/{{The Jungle Book|1967}}''.

Apparently WordOfGod is that Tifa and Sephiroth aren't really people so much as the manifestations of Cloud's Light and Darkness. If all three merge together, you get Zack. ...Hey, it isn't the craziest thing that's happened in this series.

So Yed Sid took this as a sign the his darkness with too weak for him to even detect, much less embrace. The result being he ''purposely'' dehumanized the enemy in the hope that the resulting MoralDissonance would be enough to wake his dark side due to the trigger of doubt. To that end, Yen Sid designed Sora's clothing to allow his darkness to grow so that he could, ultimately, learn to control it. [[CrazyPrepared He actually had a damn good reason to do so:]] if Sora ''did'' became an avatar of pure light (by suppressing his darkness to oblivion), he might have [[KnightTemplar done some stupid things simply to get rid of evil.]]

* Or maybe something else like seven dark hearts? [[Film/BabesInToyland Barnaby]] is Greed, [[WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967 Shere Khan]] is Pride, [[LegendOfSleepyHollow Ichabod Crane]] is gluttony, [[WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron Creeper]] is Sloth, [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Frollo]] is Lust, (Come on, how could you ''not'' do that?) [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Gaston]] is wrath, and I forget who Envy would be.

[[WMG: Maleficent will get her chance at Big Bad.]]
At the end of III, we all know some awesome stuff will happen. Since most of the OC cast is immune to death due to prior promises, it would make sense for Meleficent to make Enemy Mine Heroic Sacrifice to save the world she wants to conquer. Now, in IV, she is replace by the Big Bad from Princess and the Frog, who summons Heartless in order to break the Key Holes of various worlds due to a promise he made his "friends on the other side". Throughout, he uses Pete's Heartless as a familiar. In his climatic battle with Sora, his defeat is interrupted by Maleficent's return. She reveals she only made that sacrifice because she can not be killed as long as their is evil. Also, she's spent the last few months piggy-backing in Ventus's heart where she tapped into a stronger source of darkness: Vanitas. After feeding the wannabe to his "friends" so she can absorb his darkness, Maleficent brings back an uber-powerfull Pete for you to fight while she makes hr leave. After she turns Radiant Gardens back into Hollow Bastion, Sora and co. have to follow her into the True Final Dungeon, where they face their evil duplicate team: Vanitas, Maleficent, and Pete. After beating them, you battle Vanitas twice(once with aid, once without) at which point he absorbs his Keyblade and a few Unversed for a final battle... only for Malficent to reapear, chastize him for doubting her, and them take his power for herself. Finally fully charged, she creates a huge portal to the Darkworld and creates a giant version of herself to re-write reality as she wants it. Meanwhile, you fight her Physical God-mode body, which has become extremely frail due to containing more darkness than the combined powers of Hell. After vanquishing her and ending the game(with help from Kairi, if the above theory is true), we see her finally entering her ideal world: One where she was invited to Aurora's birthday party. Awwwww...

* A world based on ''WesternAnimation/Onward'' once the film releases

* Disney owns the English dub of Anime/TransformersRobotsInDisguise, so Tokyo could appear. Takara has made transformers based on Mickey and Donald, and I could imagine Sora taking a form based on G1 Hot Rod. Imagine a Matrix of Leadership-based Keyblade or a Limit that lets you combine with that world's party member (Like optimus/Fire Convoy, for example)!

Right. We got the Light. We got the Dark. And out of the blue, we have Nobodies. [[NietzscheWannabe So we have Light fighting Dark, with the victims becoming Nobodies, signifying the futility of conflict?]] [[TropeOverdosed Yawn.]] Okay, let's try this again. Nobodies are the remainder of the bodies whose hearts fell to the darkness. What would they want most? [[IJustWantToBeNormal Their hearts back?]] Obviously. So they just whack Heartless? Too slow. [[BackFromTheDead Some of them just reappear anyway.]] Hmm, a new Nobody with a Keyblade? (Remember the Keyblade is the most effective weapon for dispatching Heartless.) Score! Go recruit him, and ask him to kill Heartless because he has to. Or something like that. New Nobody [[IdiotHero not the sharpest blade in the kitchen because he has no memories?]] Just ask Vexen to make a puppet that he can manipulate, and ultimately, become his replacement. A Keyblade is a Keyblade, after all. Not that poor cute Roxy is gonna mind, he's got no heart after all....

Because he uses both Light and Darkness. His ability to dive head first into the darkness and not be turned into a heartless ( and it's been said that only a Princess of Heart has no darkness in their heart so he should have become one at some point) and the fact that he was the only one of the island trio who was purposefully chosen ( Kairi was an accident, and Sora is just a long ass complicated story) makes me think he may has the most potential, even more than Sora. He doesn't fear the darkness (he's said as much himself) so it can't use him the way it would others. But he still has enough light to wield that as well. After the final game, he will be the one to bring back the revitalize the keyblade masters, teaching them to wield both powers for maximum effectiveness. In other words: He's [[StarWars Luke Skywalker.]]

So Yen Sid has to be a bit more subtle with his warning. When he introduced the Nobodies, he didn't just say they were incapable of feeling emotion, he says that Nobodies ''don't exist''. [[LogicBomb So please tell me how a bunch of supposedly non-existent beings can threaten world peace.]] Meaning, Yen Sid ''knew'' of the logical inconsistency of his argument, and wanted to test his reaction. If Sora was aware of his darkness, he would have spotted the flaw easily, and Yen Sid would have very well let him know about the complicated facets of the Nobodies. But Sora [[CompletelyMissingThePoint swallows the information whole and never questions its logic]], because the only thing that make sense to him was defeating the baddies. Conveniently, the baddies live in the realm of dark. For Sora, at least, Dark = Evil.

I know Nomura said this was NoHuggingNoKissing, but let's be honest, [[LyingCreator we can't trust anything Nomura says about the plot.]] Now I know the idea of 15/16 year olds getting married and having kids is [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar pushing the envelope considerably,]] but it's not absurd in a fantasy setting, and teen marriage has been used in the ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series as a plot point before- Yuna was 17 during ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'', and she gets married, it's a sham and unconsummated, but she gets married.

Tying into the above theory, with their love interests in danger, Kari gathers the Princess together in-order to release the light in their heart to seal away who/what-ever is left of Xehanort. Afterwards, we find that their are also back-up Princess, in case what of the current ones die or have their hearts taken. However, their's never been a time when all seven had to be replaced, leading the multiverse into the delicate time which would set off the next game. As for the new princess how about: Ariel's daughter, Pocahontas, Simba's daughter, Rapunzel, Lelo, the Priness from ("WesternAnimation/PrincessandtheFrog") who's name I can't remember, and an OC(or Maid Maryanne,or that chick from Atlantis). Besides bringing in new or un-introduced characters, this would also provide character development for Kairi. Without her inner glow, she becomes something of a Knight Templar, and is very pissed when someone starts stealing Princess again in IV. She eventually regains control of herself, but not before struggling with her light as Riku did his dark.

With Creator/SquareEnix buying CrystalDynamics in 2009, and considering that characters from VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou appeared in [[VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance Dream Drop Distance]], it's not beyond the realm of possibility.

Related to below. If [[Disney/RobinHood Sherwood Forest]] is featured in an upcoming game, Sora will arrive in the midst of Prince John or meet him first, and witness Robin Hood stealing from him. He'll see a royal monarch and a rogue trying to rob him, and come to the [[TheGoodKingdom logical conclusion]]. He will initially ally himself with Prince John (but most likely dislike him) and eventually meet Robin Hood personally and find out who the real villain is. Cue apologies, Robin Hood is added to the party, and Prince John is overthrown.

** It's possible that the rooms [[ChaosArchitecture change their structure dependent on the wills of the owner]] (think ''Disney/AliceInWonderland'' with the Mad Hatter's tea party). Nothing's official, but such an idea doesn't seem so farfetched given the nature of The World that Never Was.

* Or maybe something else like seven dark hearts? [[Film/BabesInToyland Barnaby]] is Greed, [[Disney/TheJungleBook Shere Khan]] is Pride, [[LegendOfSleepyHollow Ichabod Crane]] is gluttony, [[WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron Creeper]] is Sloth, [[Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Frollo]] is Lust, (Come on, how could you ''not'' do that?) [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Gaston]] is wrath, and I forget who Envy would be.

As the title says, it will follow Sora's son or daughter (by Kairi, [[MisterSeahorse Riku]], Namine, Xion, [[MayDecemberRomance Aqua]], [[ScrewYourself Roxas]] or whoever you'd like). He or she will form a FiveManBand with Max Goof, Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Additional party members will include [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid Melody]], [[Disney/TheLionKing Kiara]], and, once again, Peter Pan. An older [[Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren Denzel]] will fight in Olympus Coliseum, and an older Marlene will live in Radiant Garden.

* A world based on ''Disney/Fantasia2000'' Specifically based on Rhapsody in Blue or the Steadfast Toy Soldier would work best for this one, though it would be cool if the triangles from the 5th Symphony and the whales from Pines of Rome showed up as summons. Rhapsody in Blue would take place in New York City, and would consist of Sora, Donald, and Goofy racing around town helping out the subjects of that segment before everything coming to a head and the party having to fight some sort of giant urban themed monster. Steadfast Toy Soldier would basically just follow the plot of the segment, and have the Jack in the Box (Or it's Heartless) as the final boss.
* A world based on ''Disney/Bolt'' Or, more accurately, the show within a show in Bolt, because were the world to be based on the actual plot of the movie, it'd be pretty boring, and basing it on the show is far more interesting. Just see the video game adaptations of the movie.

* A world based on the Rite of Spring segment from ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}'' Think the Pridelands but with Dinosaurs, and a final boss battle against the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

* Think about it; with the series' inherent MassiveMultiplayerCrossover nature, there is a solution, either magical or technological for everything. Plus they owe Sora. Also, [[Disney/ThePrincessAndTheFrog Dr. Facilier]] will be responsible for the post ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI'' [[TheHeartless heartless]] problem with his friends on the other side.

* Adding to the above, Hollow Bastion is when Sora becomes a [[Disney/{{Hercules}} True Hero]].

* Supported by the fact that Yen Sid taught Mickey magic, both in ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}'' and in ''Kingdom Hearts'' (remember those animated brooms in Disney Town? Yen Sid taught Mickey how to do that). So it's reasonable that as far as Donald and Goofy know, Mickey was learning some high level spells from Yen Sid, and he didn't tell them anything about the keyblade.

* A world based on ''Disney/Fantasia2000'' Specifically based on The Firebird Suite, Rhapsody in Blue, or the Steadfast Toy Soldier would work best for this one, though it would be cool if the triangles from the 5th Symphony and the whales from Pines of Rome showed up as summons. Firebird Suite would be easiest to adapt, the plot would involve first the ascent up the volcano, and then the escape from the Firebird itself, followed by a boss battle with it.

* A world based on the Rite of Spring segment from ''Disney/Fantasia'' Think the Pridelands but with Dinosaurs, and a final boss battle against the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

* A world based on ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' Chrono Trigger is pretty much the only big Square Property (That is wholly theirs) that has yet to make an appearance in a Kingdom Hearts Game. It could be similar to Symphony of Sorcery with the End of Time acting as a hub, and the various eras acting as smaller worlds, or, alternatively, characters from the franchise show up in the games like Final Fantasy Characters did in earlier installments
* [[Disney/Fantasia Prehistoric Times]] Of all the Fantasia segments not yet integrated into Kingdom Hearts, the Rite of Spring has the most potential. Think the Pridelands but with Dinosaurs, and a final boss battle against the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
