Re: What will be Skuld's and Ephemera's role be in Kingdom Hearts 3?!?!?!?!!??!!?!?!?
As for what their role in Kingdom Hearts III will be, who really knows? I'm deeply convinced that they'll be in it, of course, but it's difficult to say just what might happen with them. If we knew more about KHIII itself, it would probably be easier to choose a likely place they'll appear or what their role might be
I just hope that one of them seriously punches Xehanort in the
face, for even
considering creating another Keyblade War--because they know firsthand just how devastating one is.
And if they do another Man Behind the Man thing (how I pray that they won't, though!), where the Master of Masters are Luxu (or both) was pulling Xehanort's strings all along, you can bet that they'll be a part of that reveal, I would say.
Also, there's this theory going around Tumblr (that I don't believe, but I almost want it to be true for the change of pace it would provide) that Ephemer and Skuld are actually Xehanort and Eraqus' parents (though obviously Xehanort and Eraqus wouldn't be aware that they're actual brothers), because Ephemer and Skuld together have all the traits that could make those two's appearances up. So on the microscopically slim chance that that actually ends up being true, then I imagine that Ephemer and Skuld would only be in flashbacks in III (as since Xehanort, canonly, is supposed to be quite old, they should probably no longer be around, if they're his parents and therefore even older than he is).
And as for Player, I have no idea. I still don't know for sure if Nomura's going to do something with them and develop them, or not. I really hope so, actually! Because I've come to like Player, and it's starting to seem like they're important (and if Player would end up being a girl, that would just be so very magical--because for once we'd actually have a friendship between girls play out on screen: Player and Skuld's), but who really knows what will end up happening with them? Tbh, I feel like they'll probably die and not be in III for that reason, or they
are Ventus... which I really don't want to be the case, but meh.
