We know some of what is going to happen in games that are more recent in the timeline of story, but there are still many unanswered questions.
One example, we know that Riku and Sora will take the MoME, but where exactly will it take place? Where could it really take place now?
Land of Departure was Terra and Aqua's home world so it made sense for them to take it there, LoD also had a throne room where they could fight, but LoD is gone now, and Castle Oblivion doesn't seem like the kind of place that the MoME could take place. Besides, when they go back there, it's most definitely to find Ven, nothing more(atleast that's what we think). And it's not going to turn back into LoD bc Eraqus' specially designed LoD, and Aqua, as his successor, was granted the permission to specially design it to whatever she wanted, CO. And in no way is Destiny Islands a candidate(my opinion though) 1. because Yen Sid tells Mickey to summon Riku and Sora to him, taking them away from their home, 2. they way they leave Kairi it's pretty obvious they're not coming back to DI anytime soon, and 3. N.O. thank you. DI is my favorite world, but no.
Then you have four other original KH worlds: Traverse Town, Hollow Bastion, Twilight Town, and Mysterious Tower. Personally I think both the TT's are out(although the symbolic scenes from the DDD trailer suggest Traverse Town's significance to the game) simply bc 1. where would they dual? and 2. those worlds just wouldn't make sense..
That leaves Hollow Bastion. The first time we went to HB the world was falling into darkness like everything else around it, but now it has been restored(and continues to be) to what it used to be-like Radiant Garden was. It's possible we might be able to go somewhere specific inside the castle where Riku and Sora could dual...? Kind of like the throne room in LoD?
It could be Mysterious Tower, but I'm curious again as to where they would take the exam? Maybe there's some new area that will be opened up to us?
The only other option left is for Yen Sid to conjure up some world we haven't been to yet. And I think it would be a far stretch to say it could be in a Disney world.
Aside from the MoME they are still maaany mysteries lingering around the game. Where is that game that Nomura talked about that would show us the time Mickey was away, and the time Riku spent alone? Remember a while back when he talked about upcoming games: he said there would be a game that went over Roxas' time in the Org., one that would be a prequel(or would involve the three keyblade wielders before Sora, can't remember what he said word for word), and there would be games dealing with Mickey and Riku. We got two of them-BBS and Days-but where are the other two? DDD and BBS Vol. 2???
Judging by the secret movie they gave us in BBS Final Mix, I think it's safe to say that BBS Vol. 2(saying that BBS Vol. 2 will be a game between DDD and KH3) deals with Mickey, particularly Mickey finding Aqua-Yen Sid said Terra is the only one left to be found, and I think DDD might have something to do with Riku.
Two more interesting things to note:
1. Somewhere in these two games(again, given that Vol. 2 is a game) we will find out the truth behind the data that AtW stored inside Sora. He said he hoped it could serve a purpose. What purpose that could be still remains unknown.
2. Riku was with Mickey for a little while after COM, but then they split up. In Days, the first time we see him(if I'm not mistaken, sorry if I got this wrong:frown
was when he fights Xion. Where was he before that? Why does he say to Namine and Axel, in KH2 FM, that he owes them for what they did for him in CO? We can understand Namine, but Axel?? Why does Axel know he's the 'imposter' in Days, and seem to be so familiar with him in that one scene in KH2 FM? Why do we see Riku, in KH2, give Kairi the keyblade that was crafted from the flowers that Kairi gave Aqua in BBS?
I think, in his time in the RoD, that Riku met Aqua. It's kind of a fuzzy idea, but that's what I think may have occurred during 'that time'.
A few interesting thing's concerning Braig and Xigbar:
1. How does Braig know of Sora's connection to Ven? In KH2 Xigbar points out that Sora glares at him the same way Ven used to, but the way he worded it, it implies he knows more than he should.. Idk maybe I just read too much into it.
2. He obviously knows about Axel and Saix's plot(what their true goal was is still one of the mysteries that has yet to be elaborated on further), judging by the things he said in the Secret Reports in Days, and the fact that Axel is one of the people he's been known to spy on, as we saw in Days.
All of the apprentices actions make me suspicious and think they all knew more than they should.. (shrugs)
So that's it.. just some of my thoughts
Edit: I also think that Riku will most likely pass the Exam. It would be shocking to me if he didn't.
