#KINGDOM HEARTS MAGIC ICON SERIES#

The idea that the Foretellers resemble the main characters seems unnecessary.

We don’t have all the details, so certain things are yet to be fully explained.

A disclaimer should be added that the story of Union X is ongoing and therefor incomplete at the time of this writing.

I didn’t think this was important but one appears in a trailer for Kingdom Hearts 3, so… *shrug* Hey1234 ‘s Loremaster rating: 7/10 Oh yea, MoM also invented Chirithys, adorable little cat friends. Luxu is instructed to pass this down through the ages, and now it is in the hands of the big bad, Mr. Its safe to assume that he has basically saw everything thanks to the eye being in every game. Luxu is not given the book, but a mysterious black box and a keyblade, No Name, which is embedded with his master’s Gazing Eye, an icon found in most Kingdom Hearts games that transfers information back to MoMmy, particularly the ending of the Keyblade War. There is another foreteller named Luxu who is the apprentice of MoM and shrouded in mystery. They will escape during the events of the Keyblade War to keep the light alive. Except one Foreteller, Ava, is instructed to set up the Dandelions, a group of special Keyblade users who are pure of heart. A ripped page in each book makes them turn on each other and split off to set up Unions of Keyblade wielders to fight in a fast-approaching war. The Foretellers wear animal masks and all vaguely resemble the main characters of the series, down to the voice acting and colour scheme of their outfits. He has dodgy motivations but has predicted the future in his Book of Prophecies, which he passed down to his apprentices, the Foretellers. The main plot points are that there was/is a hooded figure called the Master of Masters, the ultimate keyblade don. Everyone kind of pretends they don’t exist, but they do. Hooray! Kingdom Hearts X (Chi), Back Cover, Unchained & Union X (Cross)Īll of the garbled madness above is a mixture of browser games, hour-long cinematics and mobile titles that I thought would just be silly irreverent spin-offs but, bafflingly, are actually starting to become important to the plot.

So, for my sins, I’ve decided to attempt to pin the lore down piece by piece, and then I’m going to pass it over to two wonderful admins from the Disney wiki ( Hey1234 and SilverFlight )who I imagine are going to tear my armchair understanding of this series into a shreds and initiate a crisis of the self. I’d like to say that I’m just here to see familiar faces from my VHS collection, but Sora & Co’s story has moved me to tears multiple times, and I really do care about the flavour text.

I’ve played almost every game in the series, and I still don’t really know what the hell is going on here. It’s a frisson-inducing work of art that lets the imagination run wild, but it also happens to be incredibly difficult to parse. The reason why many haven’t jumped off the bandwagon due to frustration is a testament to the way that Kingdom Hearts masterfully blends the iconic worlds of Disney with the heart-rending storytelling and inspired character design of Square Enix’s Final Fantasy series. Are you picking up what I’m putting down here? Kingdom Hearts 3 has been a long time coming, and most of these fans (including myself) were children when they first entered the mythical world of Tetsuya Nomura’s creation. Yes, depressingly enough - Kingdom Hearts 2 came out in 2005. We’re the kind of people who are able to wait 14 years for a proper sequel and still retain the same amount of hype. Us Kingdom Hearts fans are a peculiar bunch.
