Wild guess. If they follow the trend of having a secret boss that’s related to the next game they’re developing (I.e Lingering Will in KH2 = Terra’s Armor in BBS) Dark Inferno (The dual blade wielding heartless from the final battle gate post-game in KH3) could be related to Yozora since he was shown to wield 2 weapons on Verum Rex video in Toy Box. Like maybe Dark Inferno is his heartless?? Cause the item you get for beating him in the game is called Crystal Regalia. It’s an almost obvious FF Versus 13/15 reference??

Noctis, in the original plan, was supposed to be able to speak to the dead through the dream world but that ability got scrapped just like everything else in 15. Maybe Nomura made it one of Yozora's abilities, where Riku searching for Sora in Verum Rex fits in.

[@Noctis457]

so like yozora being a collective of everything noctis would've had? that would make sense, I doubt they outright scrap an idea like that.

[@hidekiryuga881]

Skylion Insomnia is the hometown of Noctis and the two towers resemble Insomnia a lot. Insomnia means nightmare and the theme song of Final Fantasy XIII Versus was always "Somnus" which means sleep. So if Noctis Caelum, which is in Japanese Yozora was able to get in contact with dead people by sleep. This would be a birth by sleep which would initially just be a type of a story of Dream Drop Distance maybe a second version. Maybe he never found Kairi and she is dead and Sora is in the realm of sleeps and dreams again just to get in contact with her and there he meets Yozora / Noctis and the Master of Masters. Maybe Riku might just follow him again to his dream.

[@INCNetski]

4 at the most since 2 came out 4 years after 1. Then it took 13 years and 7 days for 3 to release (13 Darkness and 7 lights). Worst case scenario, it will take 7 years and 13 days for 4 to drop (Given that Eraqus and Xehanort were playing a new game but this time it will be reversed to 7 darkness and 13 lights). But hey its just a theory.

[@rei4500]

Theory might be true, since Kingdom Hearts 3 was built using Unreal Engine 4, which is released in September 2014 by Epic. And if I may recall the first trailer / announcement for KH3 is in 2013, which is a year before UE4's release. If it'll take 7 years (2026 (IF possibly)), that might make more sense since the secret trailer reveals Sora in TWEWY and Riku in Verum Rex, both worlds are in futuristic eras (Since two and a half decades after 20th century is basically a so-called "future era"). (I hope the revenge value will return in future games though)

[@adnansz8930]

Who knows, it might only take 3-4 years. Game devs had tons of trouble dealing with the PS3, but if KH4 is released using Unreal, and if the PS4 platform remains for the next 5 years(probably not) I really don't see much of a reason why it would take more than 5 years to realease KH4, or at least some cool DLC's leading up to its release.

[@bdpchamp]

So for the people confused, the worlds sora and riku find themselves in here are different. Sora is in Shibuya, in the world of ‘The world ends with you’, the place where the characters he met in traverse town in dream drop distance are from. In this world, the dead are given a chance to come back to life by playing the reapers game. This is further confirmation that yes, sora did die at the end of KH3, as he sacrificed himself to bring kairi back, and never made it back to destiny islands as Mickey and young xehanort predicted. The image of sora that kairi saw was just symbolic of their connection, which is why she cried, knowing he was really gone. Riku on the other hand is in the world of Verum Rex, the video game from Toy Story’s world. Not really sure why or what that’s about, seems like Nomura is just desperate to throw what final fantasy 15 was originally intended to be in there somehow.

[@angelmartinmartin3782]

i thought both Sora and Riku were in the same place... don't really know how sendind riku to verum rex makes any sense at all. So sora dies... a great ending for the first part of the saga... Wouldn't it have been better to make an ending where everybody including Sora and Kairi were together and happy and then plan carefully the direction that the future games are going to take?

@@bdpchamp anyways, this is the world where the dead ones who want a second chance to live go to... (The world ends with you).

it's possible considering that they're both in "Japan" in this scene, and Sora wakes up in the Scramble Crossing the way Neku does in The World Ends With You. he even sees the 104 building from that game. In TWEWY, those taking part in the Reapers Game fight creatures called Noise, on two separate battle areas.

Anyone notice some symbolism here? At the beginning of the movie, sora is shown surrounded by a red light, or at least some kind of red “glow.” We switch to riku, who is shown surrounded by bluish light. Sora looks towards a blue light and riku looks upward, with the camera very deliberately focusing on a red traffic light. They both appear to be confused, almost in a panic. Toward the end, we see a mix of both colors as we see the “twin” style building yozora sits upon as both sora and riku are both looking at it, seemingly more calm. We then, of course see yozora and his red and blue eye very clearly as we hear a snippet of Somnus playing. The music slowly fades to a familiar kingdom hearts melody as we see the man in the black cloak seemingly ponder the existence (or maybe relevance?) of kingdom hearts in this reality.

The way Nomura just included Somnus from FFXV there when they show Yozora.... 🤯

[@foras592]

That Somnus alike song lmfao Nomura you savage.

[@vindifference]

Nomura was like "yo, Yoko, you know that song you made for my VersusXIII project years ago? Can you...do it again for me real quick?"

[@Uroboro_Djinn]

Yoko Shimomura spent a huge amount of time on Versus 13 too, she's probably as pissed at SE as Nomura is for not respecting the artistic integrity of the project. Can you imagine spending years writing music and scenes for a passion project just to have it changed by someone who doesn't understand it?

[@Bryoo92]

glad that someone catched it....Nomura clearly is letting Square Enix know that he'll bring to life his FFVersus13 project, being under the FF franchise or under the KH one XD

[@SuperHolyHotdog]

Isn't that the Somnus theme playing for a bit at the end?

[@dyrbara]

Yes

[@davesinsanestudio8072]

It is XD Although it's different you can hear the notes for Somnus.

[@dexterhernandez4534]

and then Square Enix be like: "Nomura go focus on FF VII remake, we will let someone handle KH4 for you *Nomura* : FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[@adercader1]

I just realised something... if sora is in TWEWY’s shibuya, he really is dead. Remember how they featured in DDD, now remember how in TWEWY, the characters are all DEAD and brought to an alternate plane of existence (Shibuya) where they must fight to return back to life or ascend to a higher existence. Also Riku must be looking for him in shibuya as well but as Riku is alive, they’re once again in a DDD scenario where they’re in two alternate versions of the same world, as TWEWY puts it, the underground and real ground respectively. Also in the real ground version of shibuya, yozora must be a real character. The master of masters must’ve planned this for sora all along, hence why in the intro of KH3 sora is seen holding a xehanort (goat head) piece, which ties back to MOM theoretically.

[@meghantaylor8862]

adercader1 riku is in vernum Rex world from toy story

[@adercader1]

Meghan Taylor verum Rex world scene is apparently set in shibuya, as it is seemingly based off FF versus Xiii which had a city based on shibuya. It’s just a loop of nomura’s ideas.

[@meghantaylor8862]

Nomura wanted to have final fantasy elements in the game since his final fantasy 15 ideas got shut down. Makes sense why he would put it in kh.

[@hidekiryuga881]

adercader1 Insomnia is the hometown of Noctis and the two towers resemble Insomnia a lot. Insomnia means nightmare and the theme song of Final Fantasy XIII Versus was always "Somnus" which means sleep. So if Noctis Caelum, which is in Japanese Yozora was able to get in contact with dead people by sleep. This would be a birth by sleep which would initially just be a type of a story of Dream Drop Distance maybe a second version. In Final Fantasy XIII Versus Nomura planned for Noctis to get in contact with the dead people by dreaming and sleeping but they scrapped this idea in Final Fantasy XV. Maybe he never found Kairi and she is dead and Sora is in the realm of sleeps and dreams again just to get in contact with her and there he meets Yozora / Noctis and the Master of Masters. Maybe Riku might just follow him again to his dream.

[@lite4768]

Then Sora must lost something important in order to join that game, Keyblade? Memory?

[@henriquemarques4903]

Plot twist: the Master of Masters is Joshua.
