    ...it's no one here reads the other topics. There's at LEAST two threads with the Xehanort Reports in them detailing why that's obviously Master Xehanort

    It's much less of a connection, but the obvious answer would be Kairi. Aqua has the name connection thing going for her and as far as a metaphysical connection... well the closest thing we have is that Aqua put a spell on Kairi's necklace and Kairi has worn it ever since. I DO think it has some greater purpose/meaning.

    Yeah they look like the exact same translations to me and anyways I think Lissar's the only one who's done an actual translation as opposed to just a summary. Sorry btw didn't mean to be a ****. A lot of people just don't source stuff on this forum and it bugs me sometimes. Where'd you find them if not on KHInsider? I've yet to be infected from that forum but then again I have a Mac soooo....

    You should properly credit Lissar and krexia of KHInsider forums for those translation. Lissar has been working really hardly to fill in the translations gaps esp. for Aqua's story. Most of the translations are in the first post but I suggest digging through all the pages of the topic as Lissar seems to have forgotten to put all of them there.

    That's the conclusion I came to as well. There's so much unexplained about his part of the story and how it plays out in the rest of the series!

    No Eraqus' heart being inside Terra's is the reason why MX never tried to absorb Terra's heart. MX wants nothing to do with that as its a danger to him. I'm pretty much certain they're talking about Terranort. Its clear that that is what the translator was trying to convey, but its not clear whether THAT translation is the best one out there. I think there's two different versions out there.

    So with the secret ending, it seems clear that Sora is now off to reunite Ven's sleeping heart with his sleeping body in the Room of Awakening. From Riku's reaction in the final scene and Kairi's seeming indication that she is the only one of the trio who will not be going on this quest, I imagine Riku will either be going with Sora or heading off on his OWN quest to fix everything that's related to HIM, namely: Terra.

    Ven's problem seems pretty straightforward: heart sans body means no wakey wakey. Terra's case is more complex. His body was taken over by MX and their hearts either merged to form a new heart where they fought for control of the personality or they remained separate and still fought. At the same time some aspect of Terra (piece of heart, soul, leftover feelings, what have you) comes to inhabit his old armor creating the Lingering Sentiment. This new "Apprentice" Xehanort later became a Heartless which later lodged himself inside Riku's heart and is still said to be dormant inside him to this day. The Nobody created from Apprentice Xehanort (Xemnas) is said to have been a special Nobody along the lines of Roxas and Namine by Nomura.

    The problem for Terra is this: where are his respective pieces now? We know from Xemnas' final fate that his body and likely his soul have "faded back into darkness" as he was a Nobody and this is the fate of all Nobodies excluding of course Roxas and Namine. Terra's heart is a different matter. If "Apprentice" Xehanort's had his own unique heart which was a product of MX and Terra's hearts than it would seem that both of them now reside somewhere inside Riku's heart. However, if MX and Terra remained separate entities within new Xehanort than it is possible that only MX's heart went on to create Ansem SoD the Heartless and is thus the only one inside Riku. What happened to Terra's heart if it remained separate? Well I propose that both Xemnas and Roxas MAY have had Terra and Ven's hearts within them thus making them "Special Nobodies" and Nomura puts it.

    Honestly I think that the former possibility is the likelier case. The most reliable translation (in my opinion) of the little chat between Terra's heart and MX's in the secret ending has them referring to "his" heart, which I take to mean Apprentice Xehanort whom they are fighting over. Though I suppose that even if the merging possibility is the correct one their hearts could have separated in Ansem SoD and Xemnas. Either way, if Riku is to go on his own quest then it seems he's going to have to head back into to darkness to retrieve Terra's body and soul at least. But if Xemnas is a special Nobody and special Nobodies are not doomed to fade into darkness (as Roxas and Namine did not) then how do we explain Xemans' seeming destruction? What happened to Terra's heart if that is indeed what made Xemnas special. Another question to ask is how does the Lingering Sentiment fit into all this?

    I'm fervently hoping that Riku gets his own scenario or atleast some kind of gameplay action in the next game because reuniting Terra seems like a much more nuanced journey with a lot more potentially interesting twists than Sora going to a bunch of Disney Worlds doing f*** all and then going to Castle Oblivion and meeting Ven. Personally I want to see the resurrection of Dark Mode under MX/Ansem SoD's influence, Riku absorbing the Lingering Sentiment thus reawakening Terra's remnant inside him and giving Riku access to armor, and finally a journey in the Dark Realm to retrieve Terra's body.

    Any thoughts on the Terra's heart thing? What would you like to see out of potential Riku gameplay in the next KH game?

    Vanitas being created left Ven's heart nearly destroyed. For an as of yet to be explained reason, Sora's newborn heart was able to make contact with Ven's heart at his f***ed up station of awakening. Sora agreed to connect their hearts so that Ven could be whole again. This is why, when Ven's heart left his body after the last battle with Vanitas, it came to Sora who let Ven's heart sleep inside his own.

    Have you seen the intro? Ven is talking to newborn Sora's heart.

    No only Terra and Ven were shown to be in the Land of Departure which no longer exists. I think its just representative of what Sora must set right like the appearance of the Days trio in the ending as well. Somewhere Ven and Terra are still themselves but they're not literally hanging out together in the Land of Departure.

    Where was this said? Can we get a quote? BBS seems to lead right into a KH3. With Days, Coded, and BBS all the pieces are there to move on.

    Yes that's true but I think the community does a decent job of keeping really ridiculous false information off the wiki. The worst stuff I see on their is more along the lines of someone's personal interpretations listed as fact as opposed to blatant lies.

    If Castle Oblivion is built anything like Land of Departure than Ven should actually be in one of the above ground levels because the throne room, which became the Chamber of Awakening, was on at least the second floor as evidence by the scene in Terra's scenario where he and Aqua are sparring when Ven is first brought to the castle.
