So I'm wondering if the hooded dudes is MoM and Xigbar....but he wouldn't need to have his hood back on unless he took a new body
It's def MoM but you have a point on Luxu no longer needing his hood unless he body snatched someone else. But Xion still showed up hooded in a couple scenes way after her appearance as well.
This should shut people up about Nomura shoehorning in his FFVSXIII vision into KH. If he is clearly stating that he chose against making a full Verum Rex game and instead move on right to KH4 cause he's worried for Sora then clearly Sora will still be at the forefront of this series. I honestly think Quadratum will just be the hub world for this game like Hollow Bastion and Radiant Garden was for 1 and 2.
I'm thinking it's both maybe they have the hoods on just because
I'm thinking most of the organization members are in this world
The only org members that can be from Quadratum are Luxord(basically confirmed) and Demyx. We already know the origins of everyone else.
I like the series but couldn't give two shyts about the nonsense story
Everyone going nuts about quadru something and I had to google it, just thought Sora was transported into the real world after whatever the fukk happened in 3.
There's a lot of subtle meanings behind Quadratum(The name means Square in Latin) and Nomura's vision of FFVSXIII coming back in the form of this game. Going into this a lot of people thought this would be a "Verum Rex" game starring Yozora and instead of going to Disney Worlds we would go to Square Enix worlds(The 104 building and Shibuya is basically ripped straight from "The World Ends With You" And the secret endings of KH3 had tons of similarities and call backs to the original "FFVSXIII" trailer. Along with the actual date of this anniversary event being "104")
Also the Donald/Goofy part at the end I'm pretty sure that's Hades that was talking to them with the blue/orange fire. Which makes sense. Hades controls the underworld and Sora is "dead" Stuff like this is cool and it's what the disney aspect of the series should be. The pacing of KH3 was so bad because none of the disney stuff mattered so nothing really happens until the last 5 hours of the game.
And as far as release. They have been working on this game since 2019. They started right after they were done with KH3 DLC. And Nomura has been on record a couple times during the promo for KH3 saying he's more excited about what comes next then KH3 itself.
Whatever this next arc is Nomura has had this planned for sometime now. The wait for KH4 wont be nearly as long as it was for KH3. I fully expect this game no later then 2024 and it's very possible it can be a 2023 game. Hell i wouldn't even be surprised if it's cross gen. (Though them confirming dev is moving to UE5 makes me hopeful it's next gen only)
