Yeah I know, I was going to use a scan that maybe on the forum, but the picture didn't come up. I just wish they would release more information like about Ven and I'm curious about the battlefield in the ending (sort of coming up with a new theory).
Well I think that the soldier in the ending is the dark half and or replica of darkness. i mean anything is possible because remember Riku made Anti Sora out of nowhere right in front of Sora. Anyways I also think it goes along the lines that through the apprentice and Master thing, they some how unite in a way, such as MX summoning is apprentice's dark soul and Terra obtaining MX yellow eyes.
I personally thought that the theories had alot of loose ends.
First off I wanna thank Zeftnon for posting the leaked trailer!!!
Ven
One of the biggest things that people are wondering about. At first I thought that he could be Sora's brother, but Nomura said he has no blood connection to him. He also said that you will figure him out once you realize the connection between Sora and Roxas. Well the connections between them are:
1. Is that Roxas is Sora's nobody
2. That one has a heart and the other doesn't
3. There are three types of enemies and Sora has only filled up two of them
One connection that I've noticed that people over look is what Diz said to Roxas. He told Roxas that he was of the darkness and that he needed someone to be able to travel through the light and that's why he needed Sora. Now what is between light and darkness...twilight which can go either way. In the trailer MX states that one in the darkness is not qualified for the keyblade. That's when it hit me, when he was talking with Ven in the trailer and he said your losing it, but not permanently and has that ball of darkness... I think he actually means that his heart is turning towards the darkness and he has lost his light.
Ven and Terra
Well we already know that they are friends and that when they are on Destiny Island says that Terra should erase him. Well at the beginning of the trailer Terra asks MX to answer him about what he did to Ven's heart. Now we could think some big extravagent reason, but maybe when MX is talking to Ven he tells him about losing his light and maybe some other things about hearts and darkness. He then could've sent Ven to find the the princesses for there pure hearts in order to obtain his light when he really needed them for Kingdom Hearts. Before Ven left he could've met up with Terra to tell him to forget about him due to him leaving for his mission. After leaving, Terra could've gone to MX to have him answer him and then either follow Ven or train under MX.
The Riku like Soldier
I believe that the soldier is actually Terra when he trained with MX and in a way united power with him (Which could explain the whole soldier coming out MX thing). I know some of you will say where is the evidence. Well people have noticed that Terra and Riku have a connection due to the meaning of there names. I'm pretty sure that the name's aren't the only connection that they have. Well if you notice both of them seem to use the word friend in odd ways such as using quotes. Anyways back when they said Ven knocked off the soldier's mask and they didn't show his face. MX could've had a hold on Terra which broke when the helmet came off and he saw Ven which brought back his deep locked up memories (their could have been a large amount of time since they saw each other. Also when Mickey interferes the fight between Ven and the soldier in order to help the soldier remember, spare Ven's life, or explains MX true plan.
(Memories have been a pretty important thing)
Who is Aqua
Well Aqua and Kairi have a connection right and what is Kairi...a princess. Like I stated before about Ven going on a mission to retrieve the princesses (There are scans of him with them) and Aqua could be the last one to find. Ven with/without Terra could've met her and she could've saved him during a "boss battle" using her keyblade. From the secret endings it seems that Aqua is stronger than Ven. From the scans it also seems that Ven has a personality similar to Sora's and could've formed a friendship or more with her (which is shown in the ending when Ven runs over to Aqua when she is injured, how they look at each other and she gasp right before he is frozen and when she catches his frozen body and has a sadden look on her face).
A little more evidence
Well this section just states somethings I noticed from the screenshots and the secret ending. Well I think that the princesses were used in the first game because of what I explained. The only thing is how could the process be repeated after the fight, well remember how Terra is talking to Maleficient and he has a grin on his face. That could be a moment when he tells her about MX plan about Kingdom Hearts, but not everything so you know leave Terra in the dark. Maleficient probably knew the whole plan while Terra could've thought it could help his "friend" or something (If so it takes place before the soldier takes its role).
The other thing I notice is that when Aqua, Ven, and Terra see MX and the soldier that came from his body;Ven quickly jumps forward as if angry about something and then is held back by Terra. Then Terra seems to be pass by the soldier and takes on MX which looks like the student takes on the master sort of thing.
This is really far fetched and probably completely wrong, but could the 14th member be Kairi's heartless or a maybe her actual nobody. I mean that Namine was born from Sora, but she had already lost her heart before that. Think about it took awhile for Sora to get to the spirit of Kairi and KH and how quickly Roxas was born after Sora lost his heart. If not the nobody it could be her heartless. I mean her best friends are Riku, who turned to the darkness, and Sora, who lost his heart and later turns into a heartless aka Anti-form. She also lost her heart and I mean the game sort of revolves around them so why wouldn't she also have a heartless.
Maybe they laughed because she was a heartless. I mean she had dark skin just like Ansem the Heartless.
I was thought that it broke because he was frozen sort of along with the blade. For some weird reason, I think that Ven may start off with the kingdom key and then get the other one that broke. Just something I'd put out there.
I think that Aqua is the 14th member of the organization. I mean when Xemnas goes to the secret room and sees her armor, he says something then old friend. Could it be that Xemnas knows her from the organization or somehow he remembers Aqua.
Maybe what M.X says has to do with the apprentice. I think the apprentice might be that Riku looking shadow next to Ven on the beach and maybe he has friendship with Ven like Sora and Riku. Why else wouldn't they show the shadow's body and what the apprentice's face looks like after Ven knocked his helmet off. * He knocks it off in the trailer or something *
Could there be a chance terra was the apprentice, I mean he was with M.X and he when he was talking to Ven, Ven said I saved you because we were once friends and that seems to be a great theme of the game. Maybe Ven saved him around the time when he knocked off the helmet and M.X was able to create an image of Terra's darkness. Maybe the dark knight in the ending did something to Terra to make him turn back to the darkness symbolized from his eyes going yellow.
That's what it looks like to me. Either that or he is about to fight Maleficent because she has already started messing with worlds with the darkness. But hey that's what I think.
Yeah they have a new type of enemy and one type of them looks like the blue demon guy from Hercules. Personally I think we might see them, because their world seems to be very important to the story. I mean Hollow Bastion and the thousand heartless and Ansem the Wise. Maybe the heartless somehow originated in Radiant Garden.
That seems like a good idea, but highly unlikely. I mean there's already a scan of sora and riku as kids and think about it the game takes place around 10 years before KH. That means Sora is like 4 and Riku is 5 and the giant Heartless and Nobody could just be telling us about the new threats in the games. Agreeing Zefton, maybe when M.X. grabbed Ven and did the that thing to him it could've corrided him with darkness. That might explain why Terra's eyes went yellow at the end since he was hit in the arm. Anyways Aqua may have sensed something was going to go wrong and somehow sent Ven's Soul to Sora before it became corrupt. Doing so she may have taken in the darkness and become a heartless and her nobody could've joined with xemnas since it's obvious xemnas has a connection with Terra. If so, she followed her old friend and could've formed the organization.
