<lj-cut text="SPOILER ALERT. DO ***NOT*** READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T BEATEN KH 1, CoM, & 2 **AND** SEEN THE SECRET ENDING TO KH2!!">This is some speculation I've made after watching the "Keyblade War" video a few times (<a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=31SBHPYaVes"Catch it here if you want to see it again</a>).

Those 3 figures that were shown...I've heard people say that they were Kairi, Riku, and Sora. I read an interview with the game's creator, Tetsuya Nomaru, saying "BZZT. WRONG."

My guess on those three is that they are SORTA the 3 heroes...namely, their "Chasers", the things mentioned in the word-flash towards the end of the video. The Chasers, in my theory, complete the triad started by the Heartless and Nobodies.

A Heartless is formed from the corruption of a person's heart, bereft of body and soul. A Nobody is the corruption of a person's body, bereft of heart and soul. My guess is a Chaser is the corruption of a person's soul, bereft of heart and body. The armor those three were wearing would probably be a vessal for the corrupted soul of a Chaser.

As for why they're called Chasers? I believe they'll probably be hunting down their hearts (or Heartless, rather) and bodies (Nobodies) in an effort to become whole again, or possibly to destroy them in an effort to become whole by being the only part of themselves LEFT.

And then you've got all the freakin' Keyblades...given how much a Keyblade seems to represent its bearer (Cloud's "Metal Chocobo" and "Fenrir", for example), I think they might be a by-product of the creation of a soul. The Chasers could be out looking for those as well, seeking their purity as a balance to their own corruption, or perhaps to corrupt the Keyblades and bring about the other side of the legend Ansem mentions in his report, where the Keyblade brings chaos and ruin.

As for who you'll be playing as...I'm guessing they might give Donald and Goofy a little bit of a break by adding in Riku and Kairi as playable characters, starting you off with a 5-man...well, 2-boy, 1-girl, 1-duck, 1-dog team.

Okay, that's it for me.</lj-cut>

I've kinda been wondering about KH3, but from the other end: We know from the ending of KH2 that if people don't mysteriously dissapear, you'll have five (or seven) keyblades floating around the party. Sora can wield dual blades. Riku can wield dual blades, but doesn't in the game because he gave his second to Kairi. And if the blade stayed with Kairi, that means she can wield a blade too, it just hadn't come to her yet.

Sora and Kairi's nobodies, Roxas and Naminé, apparently can manifest independantly of them despite having been retuned to their progenitors (q.v., again, the ending of KH2). Roxas can wield a blade when independant of Sora, so it would be reasonable to assume Naminé could as well, once Kairi's keyblade manifests.

What in the world are they going to do with (potentially) seven keyblades floating around in the starting party (plus Micky's wherever he's at by then).
