In Preparation for Kingdom Hearts 3 - World Choices

Yesterday, I made a post in regards to World Choices in KH3D possibly being very deliberate. Today, I’ll explain the ORIGIN of that post.

Two nights ago, I came to a rather startling realization that the Worlds of KH3, at least the majority of them, all had something to do with the themes KH3 intends to explore, and the parallels it likes to draw between its characters’ stories and the Worlds themselves. Like I did yesterday, I shall list the worlds out, and then explain what exactly they mean. Note that none of them shall be in order of appearance.

Olympus Coliseum This is by far the most frequent recurring World in Kingdom Hearts so far, mainly because of what it represents in Kingdom Hearts as a whole. Olympus Coliseum and the story of Hercules is basically the step by step process of the Hero’s Journey, and each time it appears in KH, it represents one stage in that Journey. As of right now, KH3 is the climatic end to Sora’s Journey, finishing off the Xehanort conflict. However, the secondary thing the World represents is this - the scale of the disaster Sora shall face in his fight against Xehanort. KH3 will cover the escape of the Titans in the Hercules movie, which means pretty much world ending stuff is happening. Which… pretty much sums up what will probably happen in the KH3 endgame.

Toy Box (Toy Story) This is probably one of the ones where we can’t predict the plot, this and BH6. Nomura has worked with the Pixar producers to create a completely original Toy Story… well, story, and because of this we can’t exactly know where it will actually go. However, we can make predictions. Specifically, it has to do with the matters of Heart. It’s one World where we actually examine sentience in what is normally the inanimate. We’ve done this before, in fact, but Toy Story hits home a bit more, because the toys all have physical bodies. What measure is alive? What does it mean to have a Heart?

San Fransokyo (BH6) This is the other movie that has a completely original plot for its run in KH. Once more, we can’t exactly know where the story will take us, but we can try and make a few guesses. What we know so far is that it will touch upon Baymax’s existence, and judging from the Bug Blox, it may even be possible that we are dealing with Data Riku. If so, the question here is this: Do memories define who we are?

Corona (Rapunzel) All I have to say is this: Parallels to Namine. Rapunzel’s story will not be undergoing any changes. Heck BOTH of the Princess movies will have no changes to their original plot. That’s because it plays closer to what Sora does not remember… Castle Oblivion. Marluxia is the Organisation member stationed there, and lets just say that his and Mother Gothel are manipulative and absolutely willing to keep the one giving them all the power under their thumb, no matter the lies. There is also the fact that we still have no clue what happened to Strelitzia. The flower theme is strong in this World as well. But most importantly is the theme of this World that stands out to me based off the movie alone: Sometimes, no matter the good someone’s actions seem to be, no matter how often they say the words ‘It’s for your own good.’… it may be hiding something else. A truth, a lie, a selfish desire.

Arendelle (Frozen) Like I said, more call backs to Castle Oblivion’s crew. Larxene is actually here, and, well… there are two themes in Frozen really. Blind belief in the good in all people may not be the right choice, and sometimes overbearing control and fear of what is a part of you, may do more bad than good. The parallels however, is related to Marluxia and Strelitzia’s sibling relationship, as well as Larxene’s friendship with his past self. We still have no clue about what exactly happened, but I find it interesting that Nomura places someone who helped set of siblings, one of whom died, in a world where siblings were nearly driven apart, one of whom will almost die.

Monster’s Inc. … Honestly this one seems to question what measure is Human again. But with Vanitas there? There may be the added question here: Which are the true monsters that we should really fear? The physical ones? Or the ones that dwell in our own Hearts?

Pirates of the Caribbean 3 Honestly there isn’t exactly a theme for this one. It may in fact be a breather World for Sora, though considering we are STILL LOOKING FOR THE BOX. Then again, this may allude to something else… Specifically this: How much will Sora sacrifice, in order to save the ones he loves? Is he willing to give up his Heart once more? Is he willing to be forever separated from Kairi by a sea of stars?

It is 19 days away from this game. I’ve made my preorder for the PS4 edition. I’m luckily OFF ON THAT DAY THANK YOU AUSSIE FOR THE WELL TIMED HOLIDAY. And honestly? If I keep churning out theory posts like these in the up coming weeks, I’m gonna go crazy by the time I play the game.
