So this latest trailer has left me confused about something.
That new world Scala Ad Caelum appears to have the same architecture as the ruins we see in the keyblade graveyard that Xehanort lifted from beneath the ground. The most blatant place this can be seen is an almost identical elaborate wall flourish/swish seen behind Master Xehanort is also seen behind the "New Hood" (who let's be honest is probably just Xion) in that scene they point their keyblade at Lea.
So this implies they are one and the same but that raises the question of what exactly happened in this world. How does this gorgeous world become a wasteland and then back again? Did Xehanort use some sort of magic, is it an illusion, have we time traveled or turned back time? There are lots of potential answers but something I think stands out is how the world appears to be devoid of people, it's this pristine world that looks as if no one has entered in years. Which is I think a sign that points to Xehanort having restore the world from its ruins but more on that later.
Another arguably bigger oddity is how this used to be the keyblader seat of power even though we were lead to believe Daybreak Town was, and that isn't Daybreak Town. What makes this really REALLY strange is this the world was already ruined by the time of KHX because when the wielders go to fight their war there it's already an empty wasteland. So I'm starting to think Nomura might have pulled a major misdirection on us on what KHX story has been this whole time.
It's the story of the keyblade war alright, the war Kairi's grandma's story talks about it. But it's NOT the story of the war that the X-blade was forged in, there really has been two wars all along that took place in the same place and that's how Nomura misdirected us. Xehanort said the war for the X-blade took place in the graveyard and that's true, it's just not the one we saw in chi. Which explains why the war in Chi had seemingly literally nothing to do with the X-blade, it never appears, it never is mentioned, and they were fighting instead over bits of light called Lux and were going to use that to summon Kingdom Hearts.
So here is what I propose the actual series of events are....
In the ancient past further back than is remembered that grand city, the station of keyblade wielders, existed. The people there lived in the light, became greedy for it, and engaged in a war to forge the X-blade that broke it. In the end their war destroyed this world and left it a wasteland, but not a keyblade graveyard. Fast Forward possibly hundreds of years KHX happens and the MoM manipulated his students into causing another war for one reason or another. This time the war's consequences were much more dire, Kingdom Hearts was sucked into the darkness and the world itself was shattered/disconnected. The keyblades from that war remained where their wielders fell and thus the wasteland became known as the keyblade graveyard.
The two wars in the same place and the distortion of stories being carried down through the ages ultimately merged the tales into a singular one, that's the real secret. That the war in KH3 is actually the third keyblade war, the one in Chi is the second, and the first one has almost no leftover records of it and we never saw it. Xehanort's true goal this whole time has been to remake the original war. He's recreating the X-blade and from the looks of it he already restored the keyblade graveyard to its former glory somehow. Like a scientist he's trying to as closely duplicate the original circumstances as he can.
What do you think?
