I got college in the morning so i'll just respond to the first one tonight.
I may be taking things too literally here, but I think the 7 fragments of light from the original X-Blade choose who will be a guardian of light. I think each guardian of light has one of the 7 fragments of light from the X-Blade inside of their heart. Why? Well in KH1 XH called out for KH to fill him with darkness. Sora told him that KH is light and then the light of KH shinned through the DTD. I think this was KH was responding to a fragment of the X-Blade that Sora had in his heart. (Assuming Sora recieved one of the fragments sometime in KH1, possibly when he got KK back from Riku in Hollow Bastion.) After all the X-Blade has been said to be the twin to KH pretty much, so it makes sense that KH would react to a fragment of the X-Blade.
Interesting... Perhaps Sora was borrowing Ventus's light to do that? I like this theory
Next i'll express some thoughts on the seekers of darkness. I think one reason MX wanted to place pieces of his heart inside each member was because MX had already recieved one of the 13 fragments of darkness from the X-Blade. So by taking over 12 other people, those 12 people would become like Xehanort and therefore the other 12 fragments of darkness would choose them just as a fragment of darkness chose MX.
In fact I think we have seen a fragment of the X-Blade already. Remember the orb that MX's keyblade turned into in BBS? The orb he shot up into the sky to make KH appears? Well we know the X-Blade can summon KH. So let's assume that dark orb was one of the fragments of darkness from the X-Blade, then it would make sense that fragment could summon a fragment of KH.
To further go along with this claim, if you look in the early trailers for BBS, you see MX giving his line "You have lost it, but you haven't lost it completely. Now reach and take it." He says this to Ven and then summons a silver and black orb that is very similar to the one he used to make KH appear. We know he was using Ven to try and forge the X-Blade in BBS. So what if Nomura had intended to reveal the concept of the 20 fragments of the X-Blade in BBS, and that silver orb in the concept trailer was actually planned to be Ventus' X-Blade fragment?
I take back what I said, now I love this theory <3 It makes a lot of sense. And while the latter part may have been conceptual stuff, the idea that Master Xehanort used his fragment to summon Kingdom Hearts would explain how Xemnas was able to have his own "kingdom hearts"
As I mentioned in another thread, there are several possibilities regarding the revived Terra. He may have Terra's heart, Eraqus' heart, or neither. As suggested by Nomura, Terra's heart may remain in Riku, which might explain the keyblade Riku gave to Kairi (how has this still not been brought up?). Then there's Xemnas' heart...
Other than that, there's pre-split Terra. There's not really any reason not to include him.
The only time that Terra's heart was inside Riku was when Ansem SoD's heart was inside Riku (because SoD's heart contains Terra's) when Ansem the Wise's machine exploded, it wiped out all traces of both of them in Riku's heart. So yeah, that would explain why he was able to give that keyblade to Kairi, but he was cleansed of Terra and Xehanort shortly afterwards.
As far as the revived Terra goes, it's a simple thing. Terranort's heartless and nobody were defeated, so Terranort would be revived yes? Exactly. Master Xehanort is back because he left his refuge inside Terra. Why would he leave Terra? Well, he would only do so if he knew he would still have Terra under his control. Still confused? NeoTerranort... Terra with Xemnas's heart controlling him instead of Master Xehanort's
I think people should stop using "PPS" to solve every plot problem. The most likely solution for Vanitas regaining a body is to possess Ven again. The creation of a new body is an exceptional, undependable occurrence.
I fail to see how "PPS's are used to solve every plot problem", they're a reasonable explanation for things... Vanitas never had a body to begin with, so I fail to see how not having one atm is an issue.
I would find the keyblade war is as it is. A war involving keyblades. Unless Xehanort shatters the walls of the realm of light, it would be rather difficult to incorporate radiant garden gang or any world related ally besides those with keyblades. It seems the easiest way to traverse to the keyblade graveyard and battle it out.
Perhaps... and I may be wrong here, but don't the Radiant Garden crew still have gummi ships? Plus there's always people like Merlin who can travel between worlds by unconventional means.
Personally, I feel these 5 are pretty much guaranteed to be in the Guardian lineup:
1) Sora
2) Riku
3) Kairi
4) Mickey
5) Aqua
Then, 6 and 7 will be two of these:
-Lea
-Roxas
-Ventus
-Xion
They've already acknowledged that Terra missing puts them down one number for the Guardians and that he's already been made into one of the Seekers.
I'm thinking that Mickey, Aqua, Ventus, and Riku are guarenteed... The others I'm not so sure about, I've said it before, but I believe these seven will be the lights that are chosen...
- Mickey
- Aqua
- Ventus
- Riku
- Roxas
- Xion
- Lea
