I’m fairly certain I’ve decoded the secret ending & of course Nomura can completely change any premise he wants but the secret ending of Kingdom Hearts 3 is not as random or obscure as it seems to be. Let’s investigate….
Fans are gagging over Yozora’s resemblance to Noctis but there’s an obvious reason. It’s a massive hint to where the plot is going. Nomura wants to tell the original storyline of Final Fantasy Versus XIII which is NOT Final Fantasy XV in any way shape or form. The original plot of Final Fantasy Versus XIII, people gifted with the sight to see death’s light after being involved in near death experiences themselves. This Reddit user explains it better than me because for one, it’s been so long since I heard this storyline, it’s so ignored, I almost wondered if I made it up myself, & two, this user had a little more information than I had. (never heard about the Goddess)
This plot explains why Final Fantasy XV had so many night related anthems, (Noctis, Luna, & the moon) while having little to no moon/night related plot. This also explains why Yozora has a red eye. (The death sight)
Part of the reason why it took me this long to connect the dots is because I had no knowledge of another video game called, The World Ends With You
Another Nomura game that is based on death & reapers. It’s a game based in Shibuya that has players fighting for their lives, literally. You have a certain time frame to reclaim your life or the reaper gets you. (Paraphrasing, like I said, I never played it)
With Final Fantasy Versus XIII & The World Ends With You both having death as it’s main theme, & both games having a certain Kingdom Hearts 3 Director in common, it’s not rocket science to break down the secret ending now……
Sora & Riku both woke up in Shibuya (once again, the town The World Ends With You is based in) after Sora went on some LIFE SACRIFICING mission to bring Kairi back. Sora never returned (see KH3 ending) which of course has Riku going in after him……..
Notice the different colors? The different scenes? Both didn’t enter Shibuya at the same time (Riku arrived later) and with The World Ends With You & Kingdom Hearts for that matter having alternate words, it’s easy to assume they’re in different realities. Sora, is in TWEWY, which is not that far fetched considering he has already met the protagonist of that game, Neku.
While Riku is in another Shibuya, Final Fantasy Versus XIII (Verum Rex) as we saw when Yozora was staring at Riku. (He’s staring because he sees the death light on Riku)
Either both Sora & Riku are dead, or close to it. It’s not a coincidence at all these death omens are centered on that secret ending. Yozora’s appearance confirms it, it’s just a lot of people have no knowledge of FFVersusXIII’s original plot so it’s goofy, petty, or strange to see “fake Noctis” in KH3, but it’s not. It’s a red flag of what’s next. Oh & add the fact that we had no Final Fantasy (another game about DEATH) references in KH3, (looks like it’s because we’re getting a FF theme series) that it’s kind of obvious the next series is going to take on a serious tone. An older tone, as it should considering KH fans are old enough for this material 17 years later after KH1. I’m more excited for this plot than any KH storyline in the past. We’re finally getting the dark story Nomura always wanted to tell….
This scene is of course a Kingdom Hearts reference but it’s also a Versus XIII reference as well. The moon is the light that the death seers depend on. I see you, Nomura!
Under The Moon 🌜 - ninja AU
Based on the designs by the mobile game, the moment I saw it, I knew I had to make something special for it (*´▽`*)
“You must see to the tasks before you first.”
“The tasks before me? There’s so many.”
“All the more reason for you to make an effort.”
Please, reblog! IIt’s called self defense. Apart from having here, in the US, one of the highest cases of homicide and rape in the world and high rate of GBV, think about how this could help your mother or sister
I’ve been thinking a lot about this
It’s a very high possibility that Sora just won’t get norted, and I think I know why.
It’s because his fate will be much, much worse.
I mean, think about it. All the organization members have constantly either deemed him as 1) useless, despite having a weapon they could not wield, or 2) as something that they can use as a means to end, and nothing more.
I think the best example of this is what Xigbar told Sora back in KH2:
Xigbar was most likely referencing the Wayfinder trio (Aqua, Terra, and Ventus) at this point. And honestly, as much as I hate to say this….he wasn’t wrong.
Despite their falling out, Aqua, Terra and Ventus were much stronger when compared to Sora. They could hold their own even when they were separated from each other. Even Ventus, with a partially shattered heart, had more abilities generated by his own power in the end than Sora ever did.
All of Sora’s special abilities, if you pay attention, are all either 1) Inherited from Ventus and Roxas (possibly Xion as well) or 2) Are abilities he gains from his friends via summonings, the new Disney keyblades and their abilities in KH3, or limits involving Donald, Goofy, and other Disney chracters corresponding to the world he’s in.
The difference between Sora and every other hero we’ve played as is that…he’s never really fought alone, successfully. In KH1, he eventually wasn’t alone and fought with Donald and Goofy to defeat Ansem. In KH2, he had Riku’s help in defeating Xemnas. Meanwhile In Chain Of Memories, he was almost murdered by Replica Riku and Larxene when he went off on his own. In Dream Drop Distance, despite “beating” Xemnas in the end, he still lost because he was alone. He was still kidnapped by the organization, and he would’ve likely gotten possessed if it hadn’t been for Riku, Lea, and Mickey saving him. And because of that, he failed.
Honestly, I think the only reason Xehanort wanted to put his heart inside of Sora was BECAUSE by extension, he would finally have Ventus and Roxas in his grasp again. I just find it too inconsistent otherwise for Xehanort to want to possess Sora even though he calls him a “dull, ordinary boy”.
Ventus is the only reason why Sora can wield the keyblade. Roxas on his own was extremely powerful, showing abilities that even Sora didn’t have. They were possibly remnants of Ventus’s power, not Sora’s. Even though he is Sora’s nobody, the power didn’t originate from there.
That’s why I find it so heartbreaking in one of the new trailers when Sora says “I can’t do this alone!”. Because he literally CAN’T do it alone.
Without his friends, and without Ventus or Roxas….Sora really would just be a regular kid, powerless to help anyone. And I think he knows that.
I’m honestly afraid to see what Xehanort will do to Sora to get Ventus and Roxas back. I have a feeling it won’t end well.
some kh drawings with real dog + duck donald and goofy, ive seen some artists do that and it looked like a cute idea!
I am inevitable.
It’s because of your suggestions I draw these “happy” things
Have some random Linked Universe headcanons that I have come up with but don’t always follow 100%
• Four paints his nails to prevent him from biting them, he also paints them to reflect whatever color is most prominent that day and if it’s a pretty equal split he’ll alternate each nail color.
• Wild will either run up stairs 3 at a time, or on all fours. there is no in-between
• Time is only a around 27-29, stress took a toll on his aging, which wouldn’t be that big of a deal if Warriors wasn’t 26 about to be 27 and dreads the day someone mentions his age and he gets labeled old man as well
• Wind doesn’t like alcohol, he thinks it tastes like perfume and just wants to seem more mature in grown up to the others, Time or Warriors will usually switch Wind’s drink for cider or pumpkin juice so he has something to drink.
• While the chain can all sing, they can’t all sing the same types of songs. Twilight can sing lullabies, Wind can do sea shanties, ect
• Twilight can lift and throw each member or the chain at least 6ft, this in includes Time wearing his armor, and the chain has no idea why he’s this strong.
• Magic has different types of scents, so the some members of the chain have scents when they use magic. Hyrule always smells like cinnamon after a battle, Four smells like clover flowers when he shrinks, Twilight smells like coffee and tea leaves after he turns back from his wolf form, Sky just the faintest hint of vanilla from hanging around Sun, and Legend smells like a spice cabinet from all the items he uses
• Hyrule lives in a Hobbit Hole and he’s got a small fairy garden out front( I will stand by this until I die)
• Warriors is used to braiding Artemis’s or Impa’s hair when he was stressed so now he braids Wild’s hair because it’s the only hair long enough for his standards.
• Sky likes to collect stationary things like quills, inks, and seals, but he’s got terrible handwriting so he spends hours writing the perfect letter even if it’s only two paragraphs long.
• When Time was Mask, he had a habit of calling the other commanders “Mom” like when you would call a teacher mom, he even called Wars “Dad” once, and the first time the go to Warriors’s Hyrule Time basically had to bite his tongue as to not slip up, he fails.
• All of the Links have freckles, some only have them on their arms and shoulders, some cover them with make up or aren’t visible due to scarring, and some just don’t care about them and just have them on their faces.
