Spockanort approves. Hoodie Trio it is!
yeah i dont think nomura would keep them in their old kh2 outfit if this anniversity supsoose repesent the third gameAfter staring at the Kairi part of the pic for over five minutes I can come to the conclusion that her new outfit just barely resembles her KH2 outfit, especially since we can only see the top portion. Plus it seems like she got a haircut! :3 Also, I've seen a few people on another site saying that Riku and Kairi's new outfits are just their KH2 outfits with a different color and that they're "actual new outfits" aren't gonna be seen til KH3. Yeah...I'm pretty sure Riku's KH2 outfit didn't have a hood and a white shirt.....and buttons....and overall handsomeness.
Either that, or we're just supposed to forget logic with this. LOL.
It didn't get shorter, he cut it. It's symbolic to represent his new start. III takes place immediately after, it might be styled differently but it's not gonna be like it was in III want Riku's hair to grow out, I didn't like how his hair got shorter in DDD.
Eh, I don't think Riku's hair has grown very much at all. Look at the way his pose has his head angled down... I can tell you that if you do that if your hair is more than a few inches in length, it WILL obey the laws of gravity and get in your face if you look downwards.But if Riku's hair grows so much between 0.2 and III, does that mean that there's at least some time between the two games? More than people were thinking, anyway?
Either that, or we're just supposed to forget logic with this. LOL.
I wonder at what point during 0.2 or III Kairi (and maybe Sora also does this, despite what Nomura said before?) cuts her hair.
I'm not sure where everyone's getting that Kairi got a haircut, though. Most of her head is covered by that hood, and the little I can see looks about the same length as KH2...?
i don't know it doesn't look it long like in this pictureI'm not sure where everyone's getting that Kairi got a haircut, though. Most of her head is covered by that hood, and the little I can see looks about the same length as KH2...?
Third is Sora, Riku, Kairi, Skuld, Ephemer, and Chirithy.
I'm still really not over the matching buttons on Sora and Riku's outfits. Also Sora needs his hood on so they are all matching.
Nah, his hair actually looks shorter at the top like somebody took scissors to it and then ruffled it up to even it out. Guess we won't really know until we see him in X or in KH3.
So Ventus doesn't have a "validation" to be there or needs one? I'm not really sure I understand your reasoning at all, with the other artworks I don't remember anyone questioning the "validation" of the presence of Roxas and Naminé.Kingdom Hearts 2.8 is being released around Kingdom Hearts X third year anniversary, plus, there’s also the fact that 2.8 contains Kingdom Hearts X Back Cover: a part of Kingdom Hearts X. That alone would be a validation for Aqua to be there. And yes, Ventus is still out of place with the rest of the characters. Sure, he’s connected to Sora but so is Roxas, Xion and Vanitas. Why is he randomly selected, when quite clearly, Roxas would be more ideal as he’s more popular and is Sora’s nobody?
The question is though does Ventus NEED to fit a complicated theme at all? The second Artwork is also celebrating Kingdom Hearts X so according to your logic Roxas and Naminé would also have significance to that.I struggle to see what theme Ventus fits with beyond the association with Ephemera and Skuld. If we was to be positioned on the left side near Riku, or next to Kairi then I would have not associated him with Ephemera and Skuld, but because he’s clearly near them in the right hand side (a side that is all X characters so far for a Kingdom Hearts X anniversary artwork). And as far as Terra goes, I highly doubt… actually, I’d outright say that it’s unlikely that Terra would be featured “out of place” for artwork like Ventus is (at least, not until official Kingdom Hearts III promotional art comes). This isn’t artwork out of the blue, this is artwork celebrating Kingdom Hearts X. It has significance.
I never theorised that Ventus was outright evil, just that he had darkness harbouring in his heart. Ventus is a character prone to memory loss and a shattered heart, Xehanort wanted to train him: that much was certain. I can’t really speculate Master Xehanort and Ventus’ relationship from this picture, I just feel as though that Ventus being part of the X trio may have been an unbeknownst (or known) added bonus of Master Xehanort wanting to train Ventus under his wing.
Of course, I’m not saying that what I said is outright facts. It’s theorising. I just feel as though that theoretical possibility is definitely there. Ventus has a mysterious past before Eraqus and his connection to that past through Skuld and Ephemera may be a clue to solving that mystery.
The only connection I see between Ephemer, Skuld, and Ventus is that they could be considered the "Keyblade Graveyard trio".
I'm sure Lea will get a new outfit. It better be bright red, hopefully it has some resemblance to his outfit in BBS.I was starting to think that Riku and Kairi weren't gonna get new duds, so I had little hope for anyone else... but could this mean Lea is gonna get an actual outfit too? How likely is that do you think? Not that we'll see it until the game releases probably.
Holy cow, your right :O I didn't realize that (you forgot Ventus though ;_. But Chirithy is there too. Does that mean he followed Sora since KH1? Meh, he probably is there because of X Chi...The first anniversary was Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Chirthy.
Second was Sora, Kairi, Roxas, Namine, and Chirithy.
Third is Sora, Riku, Kairi, Skuld, Ephemer, and Chirithy.
Each anniversary is connected to a numbered game. How I never saw this I don't know.
I like that name. It sounds more badass then the other trio names.The only connection I see between Ephemer, Skuld, and Ventus is that they could be considered the "Keyblade Graveyard trio".
I'm dissapointed to see that you didn't start a Fanclub yet in the Fanclub section.Hoodies rule. Join the Hoodie appreciation club.
But you are in the Chi section, of course you are gonna get spoilers if you only play Uchained X. Also, the picture is pretty big, you could have skipped all the letters.Sorry to be that guy, but I really wish the intros would leave out anything story related that's not under a spoiler cut. I consider myself pretty far in the story, but I haven't met a Skuld character yet, and here we're referring to her in past tense, among other events in the plot. I realize we are talking about X and not Unchained X, but I just wanted to look at some art yo...
Anyways. NICE ART. NICE COSTUMES. <3
I like capes too. Now that we are talking about it, it would be better if our new Armor in Chi had capes too.I wonder if that is the compensation we get for them taking the capes from us in BBS.

True, but they are friends with Player. And Skuld said she wanted to protect her friends. She does this by trying to prevent them from going to the war. But we already saw that Player ends up in the Keyblade Graveyard (where the war took place), so it's not out of the question that Skuld and Ephemera will come to save us. In wich case they still end up in the Keyblade Graveyard.Huh? Ven I can understand because of the awakening platform, but Ephemera and Skuld so far never set foot in that location and if they follow Ava's instructions (avoid the war) they also shouldn't in the future.
So Ventus doesn't have a "validation" to be there or needs one? I'm not really sure I understand your reasoning at all, with the other artworks I don't remember anyone questioning the "validation" of the presence of Roxas and Naminé.
An intermediary connection is still a connection regardless. Vanitas was melded after Sora through Ventus connection with Sora when Sora helped heal Ventus fractured heart.Uh nope? It was explicitly stated that Ventus' connection to Sora is apart and deeper than the others? Also Vanitas is NOT connected to Sora, he's only connected to Ventus. It is Ventus' connection with Sora that influences his appearance and thus Ventus is always between Sora and Vanitas as an intermediary.
Maybe because Nomura simply just wanted to include a different character for a change? Maybe because Ventus will actually play a more prominent role in KH III and this is foreshadowing?
And playing the "popularity" card is really not expedient because in that case Axel/Lea would have been needed to be featured in every single of those art pieces.
Roxas would be just as "out of place" or even more than Ven in this case.
The question is though does Ventus NEED to fit a complicated theme at all? The second Artwork is also celebrating Kingdom Hearts X so according to your logic Roxas and Naminé would also have significance to that.
Really, so what would you have done if there actually was Terra on this art piece close to Ephemera instead of Ven? What if it would have been Xion? Would the argumentation remain the same in that case?
Uh, everyone except the Princesses has Darkness in his/her heart so that's somehow a given. Yet when Vanitas was created and, according to MX, "took too much" of Ven's heart the chunk missing according to the broken awakening platform was less than a quarter.
"Prone to a shattered heart" is a nice wording, lol, when both known incidents so far were nowhere accidental nor initiated by Ven himself but by Master Xehanort and Vanitas abusing him for something.
We do not even know how long Ven actually did train under Xehanort before the whole "Vanitas-incident". What we do know is that by the time of that event Ven was either 11 or 12 years old and could at least already summon his own Keyblade as he had Wayward Wind out in the Heartless scene.
It is certainly not out of the realm of possibility, sure, but right now I even find the appearance of substantial hints to be rather thin since there is nothing beyond his placement on a single piece of art.
Heh, I know that. Make no mistake here, I just find the actual pieces and/or implications pointing to it very sparse, so I tried to poke the poodle a little to see if you have any more stuff that can possibly increase the theory's plausibility a little.
Well, BBS didn't give any hints towards that Ventus' past before being turned into an ingredient for a weapon of doom is anything special or important and yet still he's the only one of the BBS trio to actually get some hints about his further past.
Then there is the fact that even his first awakening platform does show the Badlands/Keyblade Graveyard as a background, hinting as a possible connection, but I am not yet really convinced on any concrete outline what form that connection might be.
Xion is a clone of Roxas who was created by Vexen.
It’s still something. Sure, it doesn’t have the strongest of substance as a theory because it’s artwork as opposed to an interview translation or teaser, but that single placement of art in itself holds significance on its own merit. It’s a simultaneous means of symbolism for both Kingdom Hearts X and Kingdom Hearts III. Ventus being on the side of the Kingdom Hearts X character couldn’t simply be for ideal spacing of all the characters. It must mean something more (and I think it’s Kingdom Hearts X related, because again, the positioning of the X characters on the right side with Ventus is too organised to call it a coincidence).
