Need to get caught up on Kingdom Hearts Union Cross, or Melody of Memory? Check out my explanations for those: Union Cross Explained: ruclips.net/video/jJ0J7mo5_J8/видео.html Melody of Memory Explained: ruclips.net/video/DmNizo0FqRE/видео.html
after rewatching the trailer about a dozen times and just rewatched M.o.M ending , i believe Donald and goofy was supposed to warn the others trios to stop there search for sora, im curious why they are going into the underworld and who's the person that there looking for in there. im thinking Auron, Cloud or zack.
Stella and Xion put together StellaXion. sounds a lot like the word Constellation, which is where the symbols of Foretellers come from. Too out there? Great video man.
saw the kh4 trailer, then proceeded to spend the next 6-8 hours watching all of your videos on KH union cross, dark road, melody of memories and all the shebang. My brain hurts alot, i had a weird dream about strelitzia and i threw up a couple times. 11/10 would do again u got a new sub
Damo I stg you are my favorite KH youtuber. No yelling, you’re incredibly well-spoken and calm. And informed. I’m so excited for the many years of content you’ll have rolling out!
Just a heads up about 11:36 - In Nomura's translated interview about the trailers he said that they are 'by the actor of an existing character altering his voice' and mentions it isn't Brain. Interesting to include that.
Man, the way you keep up with all this stuff and then explain a load of cryptic scenes and bizarre dialogue from a *trailer* in a simple and logical way.... that is one skill I definitely do not have with this series. Thank you for decrypting the KH code of mystery for me once again.
What’s also interesting timeline-wise is during an interview at the 20th anniversery event, Kingdom Hearts IV is actually confirmed to take place 1 year after Melody of Memory
Personally, I don't think Donald and Goofy went looking for Hades because of how frightened they are to see him, I think they were looking for Auron, the only person they know to have come back from death.
My theory on the lost master the name of the arc refers to: I think each individual game in this arc could refer to its own lost master, while still having the overarching one, because this is kinda sorta how the dark seeker saga did it if you think about it. KH1 is Ansem, KH2 is Xemnas, etc etc, but Xehanort is the overarching dark seeker. So for the lost master arc, maybe for KH4 that refers to Sora, maybe a side game will feature Lea and Isa and the Twilight Town crew searching for the girl in the KH3 secret reports (probably Skuld), while there’s still the overarching lost master who will be the big bad of the arc and of the final game in the arc. And that one would of course be the Master of Masters…unless it isn’t? Because really, he isn’t ‘lost’ per se. He seems to come and go as he pleases, and in the trailer is right there next to presumably Luxu. Also, Luxu brought back four of the other ‘lost’ masters…so they aren’t lost anymore either. Except for one of them, one character that we really don’t officially know the whereabouts for, and who’s last known location is really unknown. Yep, that’s right, I think there’s an argument to be made that Ava is the ‘lost master’ the whole arc refers to. Because while we have some individual lost masters, Ava is the only one right now that nobody knows where they are. Skuld is kinda lost to us in the audience right now but we actually have something of a timeline of her movements and know more recently where she was. Sora will probably be ‘found’ by the end of KH4. And the MoM doesn’t seem too ‘lost’. But we really have no clue where Ava is at this point. Anyways thanks for coming to my TEDTalk.
One additional person we need to keep in mind when thinking who the Lost Master is there are three distinct possibilities the first 2 are as Damo says, but we also need to remember that the term Lost Master is applicable to Ava as she should be included of the tale of the Lost masters Eraqus and Xehanort are discussing additionally she is the only Master we have absolutely no information at this time and is the only one that could be considered truly Lost.
A lot of people are saying this being called “the lost master” arc could be relating to sora but Sora technically didn’t pass the mark of mastery exam. Damo even pointed out how the masters of masters calls himself a lost master. Also, for the fact it’s not plural and called the lost masters arc indeed can insinuate this is “the masters of master” arc and we can finally understand the enigma that he is lol
We all want to know his Face Maybe its Sora from the future or something like that I mean it cannot be a normal looking face ? Or someone we know ? Or he always will have the hood on but that would be not good i think 🤔
So far, Sora should face Yozora again before taking on the Master of Masters. Because we don't know who the Master of Masters really is? Because he is the same with Master Chief and Zipper, no clue who really looked like under the suits and mask their a mystery.
I didn't even think this Quadratum Striletzia could be a DATA RECONFIGURED VERSION OF HER, NOT a Purgatory ghost version!! Good theory and connection, Damo!!
4:37 since we know time flows differently in every world, 7 days in Quadratum =\= 1 year later from the Melody of Memories scene. Riku may still show up soon, relatively speaking.
3 things to have in mind that have been presented or stated on the series that must be had in mind: 1st Terranort wasn't sending Kairi through time, but through space. 2nd Also we don't know who the person that Lea and Isa knew and was being experimented by Terranort was taken by and hide by Luxu. So there is the chance that Strelitzia is that person and she was send to Quadratum. The 3rd thing, it's that Riku states in DDD that each world has it's own time axies and they don't necessary match the same with different worlds, so it's possible that in this new realm for what Sora is 7 days, it has been a whole year for his friends.
The girl from the castle was not Strelitzia though. She died, she is gone from the fictional world. Her heaven/afterworld is where they are now. Skulld is still the main contender for that role or Ava to some degree. Still speculation of course but with all of the info we have right that seems to be the case
@@DigiBrad We don't know actually and im not saying it's like this, im saying other stuff that we should keep in mind. Why do i say this as a possibility for Strelitzia? Because on the ending of Union X we see on Scala ad Caelum a woman or girl that looks like Skuld. This means it could be some of her decendents, someone that looks like her, or some other possibility. As such as KH fans we have to keep an open mind because Nomura could literally pull off anything because we jump to conclusions.
@@ultimateshadeofwar Honestly, I don’t know if it’s just a theory or not. But you didn’t seem to focus on the other point I made, same pod, same complications.
After the kh4 trailer i spent all of yesterday watching your union cross videos because i never knew much of what happened in the mobile games besides from back cover. Love your videos and theories
As soon as I see you are streaming or upload a new video im hyped. You are the only person whose stream I always watch to the end no matter what time it is. I love how everybody in the comments or in the chat tries to analyse every tiny bit of information when a new trailer etc drops. It's just amazing to be part of this
Loving the videos! Just binged all your recap videos after seeing recommendations for them on some other reveal reaction videos. Something I realized while watching your analysis of the trailer, is how the narration we hear, could also be kinda read as a message to the audience on a narrative level. The whole quote of: “It this isn’t the ending you desired - if it brings you despair - then leave this world for another. Your options are endless. However - if you do leave this world behind, don’t expect to return to the one from which you came - “ could kinda be interpreted as saying to us the audience: If you didn’t like how the last game ended, and/or if you don’t like the direction the new game is heading, then leave this series and play something else because there are infinite options. But if you do leave the series, don’t expect it to eventually go back to the way it was when you left. So this story is going to be different from what it was in the last three installments, and the writers are dedicated to going forward with this new direction. I doubt that’s what was intended by that narration, but it’s one possible extra interpretation that I got from it.
I LOVE how Bio-Roxas directed his viewers to you for story analysis, and you directed your viewers to him for gameplay analysis 🤣. That had to have been planned by one of you after the other or both behind the scenes.
Thank you for all the work on these videos! Been a big kingdom hearts fan since I was a kid, but couldn’t always afford the multiple games. Only got the big titles, so it’s nice to catch up on all the small details.
Man, these videos have been amazing at reigniting my interest in Kingdom Hearts. I thought I'd outgrown the series after Kingdom Hearts 3, but I think it turns out I had just missed all of the incredible lore and world-building that was being done by the mobile games! So excited for Kingdom Hearts IV and the future of this series again, and I'm diving deep into every bit of lore I can get - it's all making sense again! Cheers from one West Aussie to another!
So I'm not sure if you're aware, but Nomura confirmed that the Missing Link and 4 narrators are the same person someone 'we've seen but not heard' . He also revealed a coded message as part of the promotion and, if it's been decoded properly, it reveals who it is. I don't want to just write a spoiler out in the open but it should be on the KH reddit.
When i was younger and first saw Disney's purchase of Lucas Films and Marvel, it made me incredibly happy. Not for a new and terrible unneeded star wars sequel series or anything, but for Kingdom Hearts. To a little kid nothing sounds cooler than the idea of Sora wielding a lightsaber Keyblade and cracking jokes with Spiderman. And hell i still think it would be an awesome thing so see in the series. But i can definitely understand why people wouldn't like the inclusion of either. Especially when a lot of people now just want Disney to be completely not a part of the KH franchise.
Based on the KH13 Q&A, “since Yozora is so strong I thought it would be better to put something in the game “if he loses””, I think that just means Nomura put that there for the game because the character is so hard to fight and not because he was meant to lose in the story.
For the case of darkness in this place where neither light nor darkness should exist, I think it's tied to what Lron explained about the Keyblade in KH1: That heartless will keep coming after Sora as long as he wields it. Possibly the same holds true for other Keyblade wielders aka MoM, Luxu, Strelitzia who seemingly came to Quadratum before Sora did.
So can we confirm that the black box contains the Book of Prophecies? If the book acted as his waypoint, and we don't know of the Book being anywhere in the present day, would that not mean it's contained in the box?
Hey damo I have a question/ theory so you know when you said that towards the end that darkness could have been coming in because of the master of master and lucios but couldn't it also be because of sora because in kh1 we hear leon say that the heartless will follow the keyblade so couldn't they just have followed sora through into the new world. also a theory at 7:48 when you are talking about kh4 trailer doesn't it look like sora is struggling to even summon the keyblade because originally the keyblade just showed up right away this one look like it took a couple of seconds to even show up just a thought I could be wrong.
Thank you for all your content. You are THE reason I care about Union Cross, downloaded and completed the game for the finale! I always recommend your videos for anyone trying to get learnt
So when shilistia was killed by dark ventus that was her in kh3 talking to sora. Then there she goes with sora when he “dies” just like where the MoM is is when he disappeared…blew my mind when you said who she was
I'm still trying to catch on kingdom hearts I knew about the games and lore and I'm finally trying to complete them all this channel is very helpful on staying up to date
also another assumption i make is that because sterlitzia is at quad thats why darkness also appear! in kh1 tutorial we learn that "the greater the light is the greater the darkness is also" so the plan of MoM was to bring a light (sterlitzia) in order for darkness to appear also! for what purpose i cant think
the person speaking to sora about staying or leaving this world feels like a meta message to us. this game will be a new story and if anyone feels like leaving this series, then if they should expect things to be completely different
My question is if we get a star wars kh4 world then how will they make sora able to combat lightsabers without his keyblade turning into a lightsaber keyblade beforehand? If we normally get the weapons after the world we visit?? Unless they somehow explain that his keyblade is indestructible...
The Lost Master is Master AVA! The Master of Masters needs his 6 foretellers (based on the chessboard) he needs Master Ava and nobody knows where she is or what ever happened to her.
I take a wild guess but I say the second hooded figure alongside MoM will turn out to be Ava! So far she is the biggest Enigma among the original Masters, we don't know for certain what happened to her. Another wild guess would be Skuld! She is the only one we have not seen where she ended up in the ending of Union Cross!
Regarding the narration, my jp sources say both trailers were done by the same VA, and that it's a character we already know, but it's either one who hasn't been voiced yet or one who changed his appearance or something. It's been specified that it's not Brain, so maybe it's hinting to another KHUX/DR character, maybe even the Player, or it could be one of Luxu's future bodies. There was also speculation that the VA sounds like the one that voices YH (and I agree with that, though I wouldn't say for sure that it's him)
I think I have a tiny theory: In the KH3 Remind Secret episode, Sora fights Yozora. In it, if you win, then Yozora vaporizes and it cuts to him in a car with a man as the driver (possibly Luxord). If you lose, then Sora gets crystallized and it again cuts to Yozora in the car. My theory is that Sora getting crystallized is indeed canon, and that he was transported to the real quadratum, (the one we see in the trailer, not the one we see in the KH3 secret movie.
Xigbar recruited marluxia into tge organisation, maybe yo act as streletzias waypoint. He did start rembering her in his death scene in 3, and he has turned back to being lauriam
i'm getting a fma (2003) ending vibe from this and Drakengard vibes from it fMA when Ed went beyond the gate and and jumped into his alternate self's body in our world ( the world of fiction), he couldn't return at the time because alchemy doesn't exisit in our world like amestris. And Drakengard for similar reasons, but Darkside arriving in Quadratum like that reminds me of when the watchers descended to japan causing the story of Nier to take shape
This is a huge ask, I am aware. And I think that other people have done this before. But I just love your way of explaining things and I could (and have! just went through your Union X playlist over the past days!) listen to you speak for literal hours. So here's my ask: Could you do a series on the complete timeline of Kingdom Hearts? And I don't mean game by game. We know that several games have parts that overlap in time. And so, what I am proposing is to take everything in Kingdom Hearts and its maddening depths, and arrange it neatly step by step. I don't mean to demand anything from you, of course. You are probably incredibly busy with everything going on right now. XP Regardless of whether or not you'll do it, you won a subscriber this week. Thank you so much for all your hard work! See you on the next video. :D
I am always sorta working on this in the background, I was initially waiting for Dark Road to release before I committed to it seriously but now we have Missing Link to consider as well hahaha. It's definitely on the list of things to do
It's funny how the chest pieces when they cleared the board for a new game the pieces look like those keyblade wielders from union x which problem means sora will have to fight them probley
My Theory about who the Master of Masters is I now believe he is a younger version of Ansem The Wise/Diz. Both are researchers, good at Tech and data world creations. Both had 6 apprentices with them both being 7 and both put their hands behind their backs, and Ansem the wise is called Master by all of his apprentices.
Also! Apparently nomura has stated that the reason why there’s two cutscenes for the yozora battle is it’s so hard. The losing cutscene is just an interesting idea but the winning cutscene is the real/canon one
a little note : alice in bordeland also brought "dead" people to an alternate shibuya (starting point) in order to fight and gain their right to come back from the dead
I could see all the foretellers being in KHIV and they were just “missing” in the trailer. The chessboard had all of them against Sora so only two of them in Quadratum is odd.
If strelitzia is Luxu's seed of light, then her appearance in Quadratum could have been the trigger for introducing darkness; a light always casts a shadow and all that. Introduce light into a world and automatically you create darkness with it.
Sora is also light, which would why the heartless showed when he awoke, Sora was the trigger. The citizens were experiencing that attack for the first time given their reactions.
So when do we think this game will be out by? Feel like winter of 2024 could be possible. Although I do wonder if FFVII remake part 2 will come out before or after it.
There's too much to talk about, so the one thing I'll say is I think the Kingdom Key calls on the memory of Sora's former powers to make swirly light versions of those attacks. And that Sora's memories could be at risk, and maybe the physical body he inhabits in Quadratum is what's stolen and becomes Yozoras body? Nice on you for pronouncing Hikarie right and for recognizing the door bell, which is a little blended with the music lol. Can't wait for more damo content! Also already so sick of the Star Wars theories. Endor barely had any memorable or major water features and the trees are redwood trees, very different than the trailers forest, which makes me think of a Versus XIII trailer moment where young Noctis runs through woods into Regis' arms
maybe the new arc and quadratum mean that now we are going to traverse through square enix worlds. that forest reminds me of nier automata, there is a lot of references to versus, and shibuya must be from twewy
Has anyone got any info/theory regarding the white lights on the reflection on the buildings during the scene where the dark ball is forming into Darkside?
Is there a possibility that the MoM is infact Luxu himself?? There’s a lot time travel paradox’s. Maybe that’s why he’s wearing an eye patch, because his eye is already in the key blade?? Are there any theories on this??
Wait, the eye in the keyblade is Lucio's eye? I thought the eye was already in the keyblade when Lucio got it? I thought it was implied it was the master of master's eye?

Happy to see you back so soon! I literally get almost all my KH content is from this channel. Stay awesome my guy!
omg the seed of light Strelitzia being rematerialized in Quadratum sounds very convincing, that would make a lot of sense
Personally, I don't think Donald and Goofy went looking for Hades because of how frightened they are to see him, I think they were looking for Auron, the only person they know to have come back from death.
I feel like they're going to team up with Hades against the real villain(s) of the game. Is that crazy?
Would be awesome, I most his potential cameo in KH3.
Interesting theory
would make sense too because they last saw Auron in Olympus
Literally almost every single FF character has come back from death at some point in their stories.

I don't want to just write a spoiler out in the open but it should be on the KH reddit.
I haven't been this hyped in a while
When i was younger and first saw Disney's purchase of Lucas Films and Marvel, it made me incredibly happy. Not for a new and terrible unneeded star wars sequel series or anything, but for Kingdom Hearts. To a little kid nothing sounds cooler than the idea of Sora wielding a lightsaber Keyblade and cracking jokes with Spiderman. And hell i still think it would be an awesome thing so see in the series. But i can definitely understand why people wouldn't like the inclusion of either. Especially when a lot of people now just want Disney to be completely not a part of the KH franchise.
Based on the KH13 Q&A, “since Yozora is so strong I thought it would be better to put something in the game “if he loses””, I think that just means Nomura put that there for the game because the character is so hard to fight and not because he was meant to lose in the story.
For the case of darkness in this place where neither light nor darkness should exist, I think it's tied to what Lron explained about the Keyblade in KH1: That heartless will keep coming after Sora as long as he wields it. Possibly the same holds true for other Keyblade wielders aka MoM, Luxu, Strelitzia who seemingly came to Quadratum before Sora did.
Your video broke this news to me. Fantastic as ever
Always love your content man! Well made and the only way I can fully keep up with this story! Keep up the good work my man!!!
So can we confirm that the black box contains the Book of Prophecies? If the book acted as his waypoint, and we don't know of the Book being anywhere in the present day, would that not mean it's contained in the box?
Hey damo I have a question/ theory so you know when you said that towards the end that darkness could have been coming in because of the master of master and lucios but couldn't it also be because of sora because in kh1 we hear leon say that the heartless will follow the keyblade so couldn't they just have followed sora through into the new world. also a theory at 7:48 when you are talking about kh4 trailer doesn't it look like sora is struggling to even summon the keyblade because originally the keyblade just showed up right away this one look like it took a couple of seconds to even show up just a thought I could be wrong.
Oh yeah he made a face before finally summoning it
@@gracekim1998 right so it makes me think he didn't think he could actually summon it
Every last creator. Build is most likely a Dev menu. I know we love to overanalyze but I think this one is a bit simpler.
After the release of additional information, I stand corrected and apologize.
Most In-Depth analysis video yet, easily. Keep up the good content.
Thank you for all your content. You are THE reason I care about Union Cross, downloaded and completed the game for the finale! I always recommend your videos for anyone trying to get learnt
So when shilistia was killed by dark ventus that was her in kh3 talking to sora. Then there she goes with sora when he “dies” just like where the MoM is is when he disappeared…blew my mind when you said who she was
Glad to hear your thoughts on KH4 , but any thoughts on Dark Road and Missing Link ???
they're coming, my computer delayed me about 10 hours getting this video out
I'm still trying to catch on kingdom hearts I knew about the games and lore and I'm finally trying to complete them all this channel is very helpful on staying up to date
I know it's a style choice because of how Grounded/Realistic Quadratum is, but RIP to Sora's clown shoes.
Been waiting for you to give an explanations/thoughts video. My favorite KH RUclipsr. Love the work.
You're my new favorite KH youtuber
also another assumption i make is that because sterlitzia is at quad thats why darkness also appear! in kh1 tutorial we learn that "the greater the light is the greater the darkness is also" so the plan of MoM was to bring a light (sterlitzia) in order for darkness to appear also! for what purpose i cant think
the person speaking to sora about staying or leaving this world feels like a meta message to us. this game will be a new story and if anyone feels like leaving this series, then if they should expect things to be completely different
Nah, not Star Wars. That's the foot of the drone from Incredibles. It's one of the deactivated ones on the island.
Thank you for the breakdown! I am also so very excited for what is to come. /Especially/ Luxu and the Master interacting again.
My question is if we get a star wars kh4 world then how will they make sora able to combat lightsabers without his keyblade turning into a lightsaber keyblade beforehand? If we normally get the weapons after the world we visit?? Unless they somehow explain that his keyblade is indestructible...
I'm glad you see you back, I was looking forward to hearing your talk on what came out
Best KH Channel
The Lost Master is Master AVA!
The Master of Masters needs his 6 foretellers (based on the chessboard) he needs Master Ava and nobody knows where she is or what ever happened to her.
I take a wild guess but I say the second hooded figure alongside MoM will turn out to be Ava! So far she is the biggest Enigma among the original Masters, we don't know for certain what happened to her.
Another wild guess would be Skuld! She is the only one we have not seen where she ended up in the ending of Union Cross!
You make the best KH videos Damo
Isn’t the trailer dialogue a conversation between Master of Masters and someone else during Union X? It sounds so familiar
Regarding the narration, my jp sources say both trailers were done by the same VA, and that it's a character we already know, but it's either one who hasn't been voiced yet or one who changed his appearance or something. It's been specified that it's not Brain, so maybe it's hinting to another KHUX/DR character, maybe even the Player, or it could be one of Luxu's future bodies. There was also speculation that the VA sounds like the one that voices YH (and I agree with that, though I wouldn't say for sure that it's him)
Oooo
The source told you it’s a voice we already know but didn’t tell you which characters voice it is???
@@toddlemmon01 no, that was nomura's intention to let us guess
Subscribed and loving all your videos! Theories and recaps that make so much sense. Thanks
Dude, where can I download the art at the beginning of the video? It is great!
I think I have a tiny theory:
In the KH3 Remind Secret episode, Sora fights Yozora. In it, if you win, then Yozora vaporizes and it cuts to him in a car with a man as the driver (possibly Luxord). If you lose, then Sora gets crystallized and it again cuts to Yozora in the car. My theory is that Sora getting crystallized is indeed canon, and that he was transported to the real quadratum, (the one we see in the trailer, not the one we see in the KH3 secret movie.
I figured "Lost Master Arc" refered to M.O.M and the barnyard Masters as a whole.
Really liked this explanation video! Also I was wondering where are you from, I love your accent but can’t understand where is it from
Australia :)
I feel like I am missing so much story, not having played/seen Union X, now might be the time to catch up on that
Lucky you, I've got you covered XD
ruclips.net/video/jJ0J7mo5_J8/видео.html
That is awesome, thanks man ;)
The KH x TWEWY is what im living for 😭😭
The darkness came from sora, where where we the first time we saw heartless and dark side in the series? Soras heart
Nice breakdown.
Xigbar recruited marluxia into tge organisation, maybe yo act as streletzias waypoint. He did start rembering her in his death scene in 3, and he has turned back to being lauriam
If Luxu and No Name are MoM's means of travelling to the future, how did he talk to Young Xehanort?
i'm getting a fma (2003) ending vibe from this and Drakengard vibes from it
fMA when Ed went beyond the gate and and jumped into his alternate self's body in our world ( the world of fiction), he couldn't return at the time because alchemy doesn't exisit in our world like amestris.
And Drakengard for similar reasons, but Darkside arriving in Quadratum like that reminds me of when the watchers descended to japan causing the story of Nier to take shape
I really think Donald and goofy will come across arron again in the underworld his story seems like it will fit more into kh4
This is a huge ask, I am aware. And I think that other people have done this before. But I just love your way of explaining things and I could (and have! just went through your Union X playlist over the past days!) listen to you speak for literal hours.
So here's my ask:
Could you do a series on the complete timeline of Kingdom Hearts?
And I don't mean game by game. We know that several games have parts that overlap in time.
And so, what I am proposing is to take everything in Kingdom Hearts and its maddening depths, and arrange it neatly step by step.
I don't mean to demand anything from you, of course. You are probably incredibly busy with everything going on right now. XP
Regardless of whether or not you'll do it, you won a subscriber this week. Thank you so much for all your hard work! See you on the next video. :D
I am always sorta working on this in the background, I was initially waiting for Dark Road to release before I committed to it seriously but now we have Missing Link to consider as well hahaha. It's definitely on the list of things to do
It's funny how the chest pieces when they cleared the board for a new game the pieces look like those keyblade wielders from union x which problem means sora will have to fight them probley
I’m so hyped for the future of KH
Your videos are pure mint!!
What is the image at the beginning? So freaking good, I need it!
My Theory about who the Master of Masters is I now believe he is a younger version of Ansem The Wise/Diz. Both are researchers, good at Tech and data world creations. Both had 6 apprentices with them both being 7 and both put their hands behind their backs, and Ansem the wise is called Master by all of his apprentices.
Also! Apparently nomura has stated that the reason why there’s two cutscenes for the yozora battle is it’s so hard. The losing cutscene is just an interesting idea but the winning cutscene is the real/canon one
Man I expected more games between 3 and 4, i'll just believe in them !
a little note : alice in bordeland also brought "dead" people to an alternate shibuya (starting point) in order to fight and gain their right to come back from the dead
A Rich Evans voice cameo in a Kingdom Hearts IV trailer? The circle is complete.
More damo videos 😁👍
I could see all the foretellers being in KHIV and they were just “missing” in the trailer. The chessboard had all of them against Sora so only two of them in Quadratum is odd.
If strelitzia is Luxu's seed of light, then her appearance in Quadratum could have been the trigger for introducing darkness; a light always casts a shadow and all that.
Introduce light into a world and automatically you create darkness with it.
Got my vote on that.
Sora is also light, which would why the heartless showed when he awoke, Sora was the trigger. The citizens were experiencing that attack for the first time given their reactions.
I love how much of a Superhero Sora looks in this trailer.
So when do we think this game will be out by? Feel like winter of 2024 could be possible. Although I do wonder if FFVII remake part 2 will come out before or after it.
I'm afraid it could even be 2025 or later...
could Strelitzia be a secondary playable character?
There's too much to talk about, so the one thing I'll say is I think the Kingdom Key calls on the memory of Sora's former powers to make swirly light versions of those attacks. And that Sora's memories could be at risk, and maybe the physical body he inhabits in Quadratum is what's stolen and becomes Yozoras body?
Nice on you for pronouncing Hikarie right and for recognizing the door bell, which is a little blended with the music lol. Can't wait for more damo content!
Also already so sick of the Star Wars theories. Endor barely had any memorable or major water features and the trees are redwood trees, very different than the trailers forest, which makes me think of a Versus XIII trailer moment where young Noctis runs through woods into Regis' arms
Da quello che ha detto strelitzia, per giungere a quadratum ci vogliono 7 giorni e forse anche di più (si trova un'altra dimensione o linea mondiale).
maybe the new arc and quadratum mean that now we are going to traverse through square enix worlds. that forest reminds me of nier automata, there is a lot of references to versus, and shibuya must be from twewy
Has anyone got any info/theory regarding the white lights on the reflection on the buildings during the scene where the dark ball is forming into Darkside?
Is there a possibility that the MoM is infact Luxu himself?? There’s a lot time travel paradox’s. Maybe that’s why he’s wearing an eye patch, because his eye is already in the key blade?? Are there any theories on this??
Wait, KH4!!! I expected to wait 10 years for that anouncement.
Star Wars would fit so well in KH, Nomura clearly loves the series and it would be amazing for Terra to meet Vader
Wait, the eye in the keyblade is Lucio's eye? I thought the eye was already in the keyblade when Lucio got it? I thought it was implied it was the master of master's eye?
Honestly you release the best kingdom hearts content!!!
Quadratum is probably just gonna be the tutorial segment. Like a twilight town on IRL steroids
