hmmm weird just two things that does make sense to me one is that riku is known as the keyblade master instead of both or sora just strange how he hasnt had one bit of darkness in him and he still doesnt get chosen. in bbs terra has darkness so he wasnt picked just weird and number two is i dont see sora on a journey alone. in every game he has had someone with him Donald, goofy, and riku just sounds a little weird but i cant wait to see the end and find out for sure :P

If this is true. Omg. No waii

Spoiler

Riku is the only one who passes the Mark of Mastery? Well, it was sort of foreshadowed that Sora was getting overconfident and that he was sort of going to "fall"

I am going to spoil myself so much when we get footage and info. Lol.

wow, I really want to see the secret ending on video now. This is looking to be really good. And I wonder if Lea's keyblade will be Bond of Flame.

Spoiler

But I guess it's possible for this ending, because in the first game, and also what we see in BBS, Riku is the only one that was actually chosen to have a keyblade. I mean, Kairi got hers by accident, and Sora could wield one because of Ven. But the only reason that the keyblade didn't choose Sora was that Riku had fallen to darkness in the first game, and so the keyblade left him. If we put that into account, it makes sense that Sora loses the keyblade and goes on a journey by himself. If this is true, it might also be possible that in the next game it's about Sora going on a journey for self-discovery or whatever, and finding his own keyblade. But this is just a guess from what the secret ending it. At least it'll be nice to see Roxas, Ven, and Xion.

Source is 2ch, so I think this is legit. And if its...wow, is all I can really say. I can say I predicted Sora not becoming a keyblade master, but going on a journey on his own kind of surprises me. And Lea is a Keyblade wielder now? Whaaaa? I need to get my hands on this game :V

Yea, we always need a Roxas and Ven!

WAIT HOLD THE PHONE FOR ONE SECOND

Sora loses his Keyblade? I don't see that mentioned, what are you talking about? Not being made a Master doesn't mean you lose your Keyblade, look at Aqua and Terra.

Read up to the point where it said Spoiler Alert. I'm SO daring today. xD
Anyway nice to see you think the ending is surprising Mike hopefully I'll experience it for myself when the English version comes out.
Until then Hermit Mode activated.

Here's a less awkward translation from KH13:

Also, newly confirmed, Critical Mode is unlockable after beating Proud Mode! YES!

My god, this is just insane.

Spoiler

I sort of saw Sora's "falling" being foreshadowed in the cover art, especially considering that it looks like Mickey is stepping in to help him this time around. Riku's passing the Mark of Mastery exam sort of goes back to the BbS exam where only Aqua passed, only this time he passed because he had already had a chance to conquer his inner darkness.

I also really enjoy that little scene that references the part of the very first entry where Tidus, Wakka and Selphie ask you the questions. The minigame to collect the pieces of Sora's heart seems interesting (though I have no idea what it would mean to "ram" his heart) and Lea getting a Keyblade is just like "wtf"?

All in all, it looks like 3D is surpassing most of my previous expectations.

Wait why did I just read this.
I didn't even last until Saturday.
Damn it.

But ASKHKJIJJGFDDFFFF! Lea. Oh Lea. I love you so <3~
Everything that has been realved is just so...and then the...and...my brain is dying here.
I need this game,I really do.

Okay, really? Lea has a Keyblade now? And supposedly that thing is picky about who it lets wield it.

So Sora loses his keyblade, but gets to summon Spirit Dream Eaters? Fair trade if you ask me.

Is anyone else underwhelmed by this?

Spoiler

It's not much beyond our speculations. Then again, it's also nothing specific, so maybe there will be more in-game, but there didn't seem to be anything about Xehanort fully returning. And Ventus as a final boss seems like a cop out.

I am interested in what sort of journey Sora is going on though.

And I didn't get the losing his Keyblade impression?

Yeah, it's pretty underwhelming. But, Mike, this is actually just the plain old regular ending, not the secret ending, someone should change the title. I didn't get the impression of Sora losing his keyblade either, but it makes sense if Ventus leaves him since Ventus was the only reason he could wield it anyway.

It was quite underwhelming.... I can image

Spoiler

seeing Sora set off on his own

but I would like to see some footage of it as well.

If this is the normal ending, I can't wait for the secret ending. If this is the secret ending, I'm slightly disappointed. Well, this isn't confirmed yet, so...

Spoiler

if it's a nightmare armored Ventus, does that mean it's just Ventus, but wearing Vanitas's armor or something? Because I have no idea what Nightmare Armor looks like

It means that it's a Nightmare (A kind of Dream Eater) that's taken the form of Ventus's armor.
