Realms

[Mirron]

I'm curious, since I don't know the various interviews/ultimania translations off-hand, if they still have four realms. Last I heard, they were the realms of Light, Darkness, Nothingness, and the In-Between. I'm curious partially because I wonder if we'll see at least one keyblade master from each realm, and partially because if they keep that, it stands to reason that we'll have a major foe from each realm. Nobodies are either Nothingness or In-Between, not sure which, and Heartless are the realm of Darkness, so Unbirth's could occupy another slot. Personally, I'm hoping they don't overload on the groups of enemies, since I like the uniqueness each of them have so far.

Anyways, getting off-track, am I right in terms of their still being four realms, or did Nomura change that?

 

[Audo]

There's still four realms.
But, technically, a Keyblade can only be from either the Light or the Dark Realm, so, I doubt you'll get at least one per realm.

 

[Mirron]

Out of curiosity, what makes you say that? Was it confirmed it could only be from one realm or the other, or is it more so a logical conclusion based off of how the series has gone so far?

 

[VensMemories]

Well Riku keyblade is kinda in between.

 

[Mirron]

I believe it was confirmed to be representing the realm of light, if the translation of the interview is correct.

Nomura said so.

No, it's not. It's a Light Realm Keyblade. The only Dark Realm Keyblade that we know of is Mickey's.

 

[Mirron]

Hmm... that's a bit sad. I liked the idea of there being Keyblade wielders for the various realms, but I guess that the realm of Nothingness doesn't really have anything to bring forth a Keyblade wielder.

So, are Nobodies representative of the Realm of Nothingness or the Realm of In-Between?

 

[Audo]

They arent representative of Realms. Neither are Heartless really.
They are just things that live in realms.

 

[Mirron]

Well, it seems like Heartless at least are representative of the realm of darkness. They are spawned by the darkness, things like that. I suppose Nobodies might not fit in the categories, but I don't know for sure. I just say that they are because... well, it seems that way so far. Unbirths may break the connection I see, but it may just build on it. I can't wait to see.

Enemies don't represent realms. Pointless threads are pointless.
