This is the first Thread I've made, so you'll have to excuse if it's in the wrong spot or already exists. If it qualifies for either of those, feel free to move/alter it as you see fit.
I've seen a lot of stuff about the Xehanorts and the like, but I haven't seen much about one particular character whose existence full-on fascinates me - Lingering Will, or Lingering Sentiment... or Terra's Armor; whatever you want to call him.
It goes without saying that the main purpose of the sentient armour is to reclaim the body it lost - in a sense, it's an almost ethereal testament of Terra's resistance to Xehanort's intentions, manifested into the armour he left behind. The information bar for Terra's final fight in the story pretty much sums it up: "Defeat Xehanort and take back your body!", and yet when he defeats the newly formed Terranort, he doesn't take back his body. He just grows a cape, sits on down and lets his body be whisked away by the destruction of the X-blade. Why? I couldn't say... maybe it was too late to take its body back?
Until then, it goes undisturbed for some eleven years (managing to magically move from the scene of the fight into the Badlands, which is beside the point), at which point it encounters Sora. Beyond this point and the actions of the Xehanorts in 3D, we don't know what happens with the sentient armour. But it clearly has some role to play in KHIII, or it most likely wouldn't exist at all.
So, my question is: what part will the Lingering Will play throughout Kingdom Hearts III?
Will it leave the Keyblade Graveyard and begin traversing worlds, searching for its' body? Or will it lie in wait for destiny to summon it into battle again?
I don't know if anyone is as fascinated by Lingering Will as I am, but any thoughts and ideas would be interesting to see.
