Yes, Nomura has stated that Sora and company aren't related to the new cast.
Ever think that he could be lying?
Some game developers can to cover something up. Like(excuse me if this is wrong) Bungie did with Halo 3. I believe him when he says that it is a new series, but I have a feeling that he could be lying about everything not being connected. Alot of stuff points to it, and the theories that people make fit.
I feel as if I posted this in the wrong place. >.>
