<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>
If you read that and got hit with any spoilers, IT'S YOUR OWN FNARKING FAULT, YA MORON. :b

Date: 4/27/06 05:31 (UTC)Yeah, I should hope so, but then again.... They've thrown some pretty heavy-handed wrenches in things before, and Square-Enix is the primary author for the series now (Disney handed most of it over to them after the first game, and certainly wouldn't have gone the direction the game took in CoM and KH2).
So really, I think they'd just be starting with, at most, 3....4 if you count Mickey's, as Shaun called it, Magic Kingdom Key.
Even three is already getting kinda rediculous.... The only time more than two popped up in the same place was near enough to the end of KH2 that you had the option of jumping right to The World that Never Was.
