KINGDOM HEARTS Union X Finale

[PikaPal]

Can't believe Union X is all over now. It's been a long journey and it only just feels like yesterday since I was at school years ago and the first version of the game was gearing up for it's release in Japan but alas another chapter in the Kingdom Hearts book can be closed... and another one will soon begin.

 

[Idreamaboutcats]

I’d also like to say, Thank God this wallet trap is finally over! Yes it didn’t take any money since February but it sure took a lot during its entire lifetime.

Let the news drought finally begin. Except September.

So, the Player character is a traitor siding with the Darknesses or do we have another case of possession/hijacking at hand?

It's always somewhat itchy when there's so much talking and you don't understand a word, lol.

Also, the running gag of Ven simply sleeping through everything keeps running and running. At this rate he won't even need that much amnesia anymore but I bet he'll have it anyways because that fight between him and that one "Darkness" likely either damaged or at least affected his heart.

You can see Ephemer talking to him just before that and it's parentheses. So I think it's an act.

I'm wondering why was the real daybreak town glitching when Ephemer and Skuld returned? Has it happened before? I only remember glitches in the data world.

 

[kirabook]

From what I gathered, Player pretended to join the darknesses so that Ephemer would forcefully send them and the player away. It was imperative that Ephermer and Skuld truly felt like they had to send Player away. Player teleported to a place that I guess made it easy to seal up themselves and the darknesses inside so they'd all die as the world ended. Player laughed at the darkneses because their plan succeeded

the player got possessed by darkness.

 

[Alexxio M.]

Question what quest number is the ending I need to know how close I am to getting there

979 iirc

Inb4 that number actually means something in the future of the series...

Didn't even notice the parentheses among all the japanese symbols, lol. Good eye.

That sounds like something more like Player would do when recalling the original X[chi].

Didn't they state in the last update though that "the world ending" results in sleep instead of actual perma-death?

I guess though one should refrain from making too many assumptions just from visuals.

the player got possessed by darkness.

That's a possibility too, mainly because one Darkness is missing.

According to earlier statements there are seven Darknesses and here we see only four.
One is sealed within Ven right now if I recall correctly while another went to the outside world with Maleficent and later spoke/fought with Luxu which means five of them must remain.
If one is within Player it would explain why only four are around visibly.

there are 13 darknesses, 7 are locked inside MoM and the 6 foretellers (from what I gathered in the cutscene)

Finally. The mobileshit gacha beast was felled. This is a momentous day for Kingdom Hearts.

 

[Hirokey123]

Wow just wow, clearly my problem was I didn't go crazy enough and THAT is saying something.

So if I'm seeing this all right...

• Spoiler Show

  Xehanort is the reincarnation of player and he got abandoned on Destiny Island when his old care taker who brought him there died.
  [*]The Dandelions went on to become the first proper dream eaters by merging with their chirithy.
  [*]Lauriam woke up in a flower glade in Dwarf Woodlands while poor Elrena wakes up on a raining mountain in the middle of a friggen lightning storm. There is an implication here then that someone must be in this world who know them right? Perhaps Strelitzia?
  [*]Luxu body snatched Brain ejecting his heart.
  [*]Brain's heart time traveled and reconstituted in scala.
  [*]Ephemer remained behind and did a good job at rebuilding the world.
  [*]Skuld either ended up in Scala and become Xehanort's mother or Skuld is subject X?
  [*]The MoM is a gigantic douche who set himself and his apprentices up to slaughter so he could get rid of darkness this way, which recontextualizes him naming them after the seven deadly sins.
  [*]The Darknesses are the original 13 darknesses that split from the X-blade (?) or at the very least their existence might explain why the dark part of the X-blade broke into 13.

In the previous update Luxu said that there are six Darknesses total. There was some speculation about who/where the seventh one might be, because obviously six doesn't make sense.

 

[kirabook]

Given we didn't see the actual war over the x-blade, does this confirm there was a war BEFORE this one and that was the real Keyblade War fight? Meaning, there has been more than one Keyblade War, meaning, they've introduced yet another prequel to the series?

That was confirmed awhile ago, there was another keyblade war before the one in X that the MoM fought in when he was a boy against the forces of Darkness. Then as confirmed just a bit ago darkness managed to get the upper hand by casting away their forms giving us the formless darkness we see.

 

[kirabook]

Right, though I did think maybeeee we'd get some mention of the x-blade. Or a glimpse of it. Or something relevant during the finale to tie it all together. But for sure now, the actual war over the x-blade was before this game.

So we can count there's been 4 keyblade wars that we're aware of so far, but it doesn't seem like this one had anything to do with the x-blade unlike the other three. I mean technically it does because MoM was involved, but the people fighting the war didn't know jack.

 

[Sephiroth0812]

Ah, roger that. Most likely indeed the 13 dark pieces of the original X-blade.

In the previous update Luxu said that there are six Darknesses total. There was some speculation about who/where the seventh one might be, because obviously six doesn't make sense.

That would fit with the notion of there being 13 overall, just as way more earlier theorized by several of us in the community. Six still roaming around while the other seven are already "sealed" within the MoM himself + Luxu and the five Furrytellers.
It appears Player trapped four more of them and one is sealed within Ventus makes only one unaccounted for.

Uhhh, discuss amongst yourselves for now.

I'm drained. That was a lot to take in.

At what point does luxu eyes turn yellow, when he takes over brain, brains eyes remained the same color. wonder how it changes

 

[Xblade13]

I would assume the only reason Luxu's eyes are yellow is because he is still inhabiting Braig/Xigbar's body, and said body had yellow eyes following his Xehanort-ification/exposure to darkness. If he ever possesses someone else after KH3, he'll probs have whatever their eye color is.
