I miss Yozora SO BAD.

[freevoidman]

That recent interview actually made me pretty content with the state of the series as a whole (other than the lack of any release date timelines, but I didn't expect Nomura to tell us anything about that lol). Like, I'd rather see the series end before he retires, or at the very least just have a conclusion instead of going on for infinity, and I'm glad Nomura thinks the same AND is making semi-active preparations for passing the torch.

I'm also very relieved that KH4 will be something of a "soft reset" and am hopeful it'll revitalize the series. Let's be honest, KH was getting reeeally bogged down for a while, and a big part of why is that it was essentially combining three big plot threads together and had to manage a LOT of expectations, on top of having a big cast bloat problem (even w/o counting any of the disney properties, KH has well over 20 characters of some level of import, and that's really hard to juggle). If KH4 goes back to the Destiny Trio + the Disney Trio, I don't think that'd be a negative, especially since a lot of plot threads are pretty much done? I mean, what else would they do with the Sea Salt Trio, the Twilight Town Trio, Isa, the Wayfinder Trio, the restored Radiant Garden former Org members? Having the series going back to focus on the main three will really feel like a breath of fresh air and allow a lot more precision focus to the cast.

This isn't to say there aren't plot threads still dangling from the non-trio cast--Marluxia and Larxene's fates are currently unknown, we're all assuming Luxord will appear in Quadratum, we know jack all about Demyx--or even the Forebearers and Brain. Ventus could play a significant role later on due to his ties to Daybreak Town. We don't know ANYTHING about Yozora, really, or anything about his own trio. There's plenty to still uncover, but I do think KH4 resetting things is a positive, and there's no way they can feasibly answer everything in one game.

...now here's hoping whatever comes after KH4 doesn't take another decade to develop :')

Things that make me a real star wars fan:

the og battlefront games are some of my favorite games ever

I've read over 100 of the books

I've read most of the pre-disney star wars comics, including the strips from the 70s and 80s, and many of the post Disney comics

I played all the Lego star wars games as a kid and then paid to play them again with the Skywalker saga

the 2003 clone wars specials are some of my favorite animated media ever, and I've watched the clone wars series several times over

I rewatch the OT and PT about every 3 months and actually force people to celebrate may the 4th and may the 6 with me

I own star wars Lego sets. Yes the small ones, but even those are overpriced. Still own them though.

I've watched most of the Disney+ cashgrabs shows

when I went to comic con the only thing I bought was a han solo art print that I got signed by the artist (I then left early because I have autism and had an autistic meltdown. I haven't gone to a convention since but I want to try them again, so if you're autistic give me tips you use at conventions pls!!)

i own the star wars archive books

i have several of the newer star wars games

Things that make me a fake star wars fan:

i constantly forget jango fett's name

i think that both luke and mara jade are gay and each other's beards.

one time at dnd i was talking about star wars and referred to basic as common

i call jizz jazz

So the KH posts that are like "these are not the same person" with people who look like twins and "this is the same person" with two people who don't look like are hilarious and genuinely funny. But they're also pretty wildly inaccurate. They're misleading for people who aren't KH fans, but if you are one, you can kind of brush it off a a joke. And okay, it's confusing as fuck but looking at the KH fandom from the outside, we must seem bizarre to you! Fair, btw. Until you realize people get really twisted up over Xion/Roxas as a ship. "They're both the same person that's wrong!" Incorrect, they're wildly fake, I don't even like this pairing but I'm about to die on a hill defending them. It's down to "they're Soras!" but... No? We had a whole thing where Sora reaffirms that Roxas is his own person. Ven and Vanitas are not the same either. Vanitas is kind of a... byproduct of one of the main thirteen darknesses that is holed up in Ven. It basically stored itself inside Ven, and when Xehanort ripped the darkness out of Ven, he didn't take it all. It just had a limb of itself branched out. That darkness is still in Ven, as confirmed in Re:Mind. Link to that, should start at 25:13. This fandom makes a lot of "Ven killed Strelitzia!" and "Ven is the imposter!" jokes and we fed on the angst plenty, but... in the end, he's not the killer, the darkness inside of him did that hitjob.

[mythicalartistx]

Strelitzia is actually Experiment X and it's not hard to see why

Since Skuld being Experiment X is almost disproved because of the time stamps relating to Missing Link... I have another theory

Who X truly is that nobody else have ever thought of—

It's Strelitzia

But first I'm going to discuss why Skuld theory no longer works

Spoilers for Melody of Memory, Union X, and Luxu's identity

There is a theory that Skuld is X, the person that was founded by Ansem and experimented on. X is also what drove Isa (Saïx) and Lea (Axel) to do what they did. They often talked to her and planned to help her escape but before they could she was moved. they planned to infiltrate the organization to save her, however they soon lost sight of what their goal was.

In Missing Link it is noted it is place full of Ephemer's descendants. However, in Dark Road, Xehanort has a "dream" vision when talking to (Player) of the adventures Player had and refers that a girl with dark hair (Skuld) looking like his mom.

It is noted that X had amnesia and it seems many people after going through the time travel pods loose memories. Kairi who was experimented and forced to travel to destiny Islands forgot her memories as well. Ven forgot his memories (though it could be from abuse from Xehanort and being separated from Vanitas). But Player also loses their memories in KHML

Which is why it makes the most sense that Strelitzia is X.

It's probably implied they get together. Now his mother is implied to be Skuld meaning they had kids and then she has Xehanort awhile afterwards. This means after their time something happens for her and the others to come back. It wouldn't make sense for her to be X and then go back to Ephemer.

But what if he also took her to Ansem and he did experiments on her. After all, Luxu helped showed where Terra—Xehanort was so how come he couldn't do the same for Experiment X. Ansem then did experiments on her. After that Luxu eventually took her and brought her to Quadratum where she stays.

Strelitzia dies but after the dandelions go off, many of the characters see Strelitzia. It is even shown that Luxu or maybe even MOM might have taken Strelitzia somewhere else such as the Quadratum... Where we do end up seeing her in the KH4 trailer

It adds up the most and there's little reason why it can't work.

[jesaerii]

Waiting for the kh4 trailer to drop any day now….

[recusant-s-sigil]

Just watched Aeba’s new video and can I just say I get that she’s worried about the future but like… she didn’t mention anything about the mobile games at all?? Like they didn’t even exist and weren’t contributing to the greater story? ‘Oh we’re immediately getting a new Sora game’ NO WE’RE FUCKING NOT MISSING-LINK IS RIGHT THERE

[ghostabocky]

ok that poll got me Thinking again and i wanted to archive this in some way, so. repost of a comment i left on youtube brainrotting over sora Not being the master of masters 

Sora being the Master of Masters just does not make any logical, emotional, or thematic sense. If anything, the MoM and Sora have been—and are continuing to be—set up as thematical opposites to one another, the MoM a jaded person who has lost so much to the forces of darkness, to the point where he will manipulate anyone around him in order to reach his end goal of living in a world without it, and Sora a positive optimist who, despite also enduring multiple hardships and losses due to darkness, also goes through many trials that prove that balance between the two forces is important, and that darkness is not an all-encompassing terror meant to be destroyed. 

Sora's whole Thing™ is about relying on connections and friendship despite physical distance, the idea that no matter where you are or what happens to you, those connections mattered and will always matter. He believes in individuality, the idea that characters like Roxas, Xion, Namine and even Vanitas are their own people, despite what other people may try and proclaim. Meanwhile, the MoM lives to avenge people who are long gone, forgetting the value of those relationships as they were simply because the people he cared for are no longer physically here. He strips his pupils of their individuality, giving them masks and names at his own discretion, and directing them like pawns on a chess board. 

These two are textbook foils to one another. The idea that the Master of Masters is somehow a grown up version of Sora who lost his friends to darkness and became a cynical, jaded mastermind trying to escape the concept of it altogether not only contradicts the existing lore about things like time travel (and specifically how the MoM does it), but is just a complete slap in the face to both of these characters as individuals.
