cool i just hate how my friends don't have a psp or want to get birth by sleep so as cool as the mulitplayer is i can't play it :'(

YES! **** YES! MULTIPLAYER!
I'm happy now.

If the Ienzo scan is what will stir up alot of theories, than it probably already has. The Ienzo scan is old news, Mike. Like a week old.

So the skateboard from KH2 must have a connection to Ven's skateboard-keyblade.:)

In my opinion there is really not all that much to theorize.

1. The Organization is not really that old, in fact most of the members were just recently reborn as Nobodies. The time frame at the time BBS Sora was what probably seven or eight at most.. KH takes place when Sora is fourteen, that gives plenty of time for some of the Org. 13 members, before they became nobodies, to get older.

2. The effect of becoming a nobody= Changes in appearance, in this case size, personality, and looks.

Im sorry the second point.... i believe you but what is your source? Nomura?

This is ten years before KH1 so Sora is only four.

Wonder if Sora, Riku, and Kairi will have versions of the Keyblade ride?

If I remember correctly, Xigbar had a scar across his face which isn't there in the screenshot. So I guess, based on that, we'll probably find out how he gets his scar (as well as some other members, most likely). Interesting.

This game looks more awesome with every scan xD Thanks Mike.

On a semi-unrelated note though, you might want to change the slated release date in the description -- You wrote it as January 9, 2009.

I dont think the Ienzo and the other 'to be' Organization members were made exactly 10 years before KH1..perhaps they were studying the Heartless still and several years later turned into Nobodies...i don't have actual proof but it would explain Ienzo (Zexion) change in age and the apparent aging of Braig (Xigbar), hmm and what's with the scar and eyepatch...only time can tell

Can't wait for the release =D

change in lenzos appearance could be because nobodies might age...
if you look at namine she's clearly shorter in chain of memories than in kh2

http://images.wikia.com/kingdomhearts/images/c/c0/Namine.jpg - kh2
so maybe his nobody also aged and got older looking

but then again namine is a special nobody with her human counter part still alive

I also think roxas got/looked older so maybe nobodies do age (though roxas is still an exception to this)
but nobodies might also change kind of like how xemnas looks diff from his human (though he might also be some sort of exception)
EDIT:
ALSO just because the orgs humans r in this game does not mean they became nobodies in this game for all we know they could become nobodies 5 years before kh1

Though I agree with you special nobodies like Namine maybe able too.

They likely won't. BBS ends 10 years before KH1. Xehanort hasn't been healed by Ansem the Wise or created the heartless. The game will like end with Xehanort going to Ansem.

Well that would change the story Leon said in KH1. He told a tale of Maleficent taking over Hollow Bastion with the heartless 9 years before KH1. If this story holds up Izeno would only have 1 year to grow and become a heartless. And judging from Zexion's look he must of grown. But is it possible to grow that much in one year and then have your nobody look like a 20 year old?

Now it's possible they are trying to erase Leon's tale and move up the creation of the heartless to be closer to KH1. In which case the KH Timeline will have to be changed.

Or there's a small chance this "Ienzo" could actually be Inenzo's son... xD.
It's certainly possible, the likelyhood is debateable, but I would'nt put it past em to show us his kid for fun xD.

I admit there is probably less than a 2% chance of me being right, but it would be a funny turnout =3

terra's appearence starts to change, that could be another sign of terra=xehanort

Or something similar to Xehanort at the very least. There's also Vanitas to consider.

Fixed.


By the way,Williamthewise; did Leon actually say 9 years? I remember him telling the story, but not the time it happened at. Or is this another piece of Nomura's wisdom? Because to grow from a kid to a 20 year old in 1 year is quite ridiculous.


Unless he is currently experimenting with a shrink ray.

Yeah, he said it in KH1 when explaining who maleficent was.
If I remember correctly it was in that house in the 3rd district after Sora finds Riku in Traverse Town. Might have been a cut scene with text bubbles.
