Alright, this theory is a collaboration between Ansem Darkheart and Awesome Ansem(myself, doing the typing). As much as we enjoy reading the forums and everybody's theories, often we feel that the theories are not fully thought out, and we can easily point out multiple flaws. But none the less, the forums always spark our interest in kh speculation, so we have decided to have a go at this. The goal of this thread isn't to prove or disprove anything, but rather to make you guys think about things a little deeper.
About the new enemies from bbs. It's unlikely that these enemies are the "dawns" we keep reading about. First off, dawn is a kind of twilight, which would mean that these new enemies hail from the realm of nothingness, or twilight (they're the same realm) same as nobodies. Does anybody really think that we will have another "nothingness" enemy? I mean, I was surprised that there was even one nothingness enemy, because, ya know, it's nothingness.
Also, the new enemies being some combination of heart and body and soul is highly unlikely. We already know that birth by sleep took place before the appearence and apparent creation of the heartless and nobodies (according to nomura, and I trust that guy). If the heart and body and soul are already being split up at this point, wouldn't the heartless and nobodies already exist? well, not nobodies, but you know what I mean.... Plus, I, and I'm sure many others, believe that kingdom hearts is more about the hearts and heartless than it is about nobodies and bodies & souls; the nobodies just exist basically as anti-heartless, to counteract the heartless. The nobodies are just the leftovers of a heartless. What else could there possibly be? If the third enemy was some combination of the life components (heart, body, soul), then the game would be about those three components, and not about hearts at all.
Either way, it's pretty clear we don't know what these enemies are. They could be beings made of magic. The could be inhabitants of one of the worlds. The point is there are a million things these new enemies could be, and it doesn't have to be something we're already used to, such as body+heart+soul, or twilight. BBS seems like it's more about keyblades than it is about "light vs. dark" or hearts and bodies and such.
Next, let's talk about these eclipse symbols. An eclipse is yet another combination of light and dark, mostly dark. Doesn't this seem a little tired by now? You can only have light and dark, and anything in between is just a form of twilight. These symbols could represent a new bad guy, or an organization (not 13) or something else. It can't really be associated with any realm (like heartless symbol & dark, nobody symbol & twilight) because all that's left is the realm of light. And if you doubt this, nomura has stated that there are only the realms of light and darkness, and the space inbetween those realms. And since one of the symbols can be seen on one of the new enemies, this would mean that the new enemies are "light" enemies. This just seems like something that would never happen for obvious reasons...... For one, we've been in the realm of light plenty of times and never seen these enemies. Two, the light realm doesn't seem like the spawning point of evil, which enemies usually are.
(Darkheart typing now.) The keyblades are the main focus of birth by sleep. In the secret ending to KH2FM+ there are many references to this. Fields of Keyblades, five badass keybladers, two of them having keychains on their keyblades. What makes the keyblades that Terra,Aqua, and Ven wield different from those of MX and the DS? Why can Ven's Keyblade break? And in my opinion MX uses his Keyblade to open a or the Kingdom Hearts (we are still unclear whether all kh's are same or not.)
There are two distinct styles of keyblades in the trailer. First is MX and DS's keyblades that contain keychains, and is closer to a traditional keyblade that sora would use, aside from its evil look. Then there is the keychainless style, referring to the ones in the ground and the ones the knights use. There is obviously a difference.
Along with all the cinematic references, there are written references as well quoting the Ansem reports. Specifically ones related to the legends and origins of the Keyblade. Just maybe the new enemies might be related to the Keyblade(s). I cant think of how or the "science" behind it. But this to me is a more possible outcome than anything base of "dawn" or "eclipse."
If anyone has any other ideas or thoughts, feel free to post them. Im sure we didnt cover every topic that is unclear, remember this is speculation. We made this thread so you could see our thoughts, so now lets see yours.
