Why does vanitas look like sora?
Why did ven give sora a piece of his heart?
Why did ven give sora a piece of his heart?
For anyone still confused, Basically
-Sora needs to stop Master Xehanort (MX) (old man, main villain from Birth by Sleep) from creating Kingdom Hearts
-MX needs 13 dark vessels to create Kingdom Hearts. These are human bodies that he will pour his "essence" (bits of his own heart) into, essentially taking their body over. This is exactly what he did to Terra in Birth By Sleep
-At the end of Dream Drop Distance, Sora is actually weaker than he used to be because he was taken over by the Darkness. He failed his Mark of Mastery exam because he fell to darkness. So he has to regain his powers and the main power of Unlocking Sleeping Hearts (we will most likely hear more about it as we play Kh3) (Similar to how Korra was trash in the final season of The Legend of Korra lol)
There are 3 Keyblade wielders from Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep that you need to know
-Aqua: Riku and King Mickey are working together to get Aqua out of the Realm of Darkness (another dimension that she is currently lost in. She can't escape by herself and will need a lot of help). Aqua will help Sora and his friends stop Xehanort.
-Ventus is a lifeless shell because of his fight with Vanitas (the evil part of Ventus. This was Ven's final boss battle in Birth by Sleep). He is basically a SLEEPING HEART. But before Birth by Sleep started, Ventus placed part of his heart inside Sora when Sora was extremely young (this is at the very start of Birth By Sleep, and I think it's why Roxas looks exactly like Ventus). So I imagine Sora will need the power of Waking Sleeping Hearts to wake up Ventus. Ventus will also be helping in taking down Master Xehanort
-Terra's body was taken over by Master Xehanort in Birth By Sleep BUT his Will (The lingering Will from KH2FM) still remains. So I imagine the Lingering Will will try to take his body back and become complete (very similar to the end of terra's story in Birth By Sleep). There was a scene in a trailer that looked like Terra and the Lingering Will were going to fight again
Other Stuff
-Axel died in KH2, and when a Nobody dies and the heartless counterpart dies, the Original human is resurrected. So Lea from Birth By Sleep (Axel's original human form) is back as a grown man. He is a Keyblade Wielder now. He's helping to stop MX
-Kairi is also a keyblade wielder now. She touched Aqua's keyblade when she was super young and was "bequeathed" because of it (this happened in Birth by Sleep)
-The 13 Dark Vessels that MX is using are many of the Organization 13 people that we beat between Chain of Memories and KH2
That's all i got. The plot is ridiculous and a lot to remember. Hope it helps
Funny how KH2 doesn't really matter in terms of plot anymore. If you never played KH2, you could still understand the plot a good amount.
The "side games" are actually more important than KH2
EDIT: I actually dont think MX needs the vessels to create
