Well that trailer got one question answered for me - they are doing a full origin story. Vexen, Xaldin and some other Organization XIII members were ther in pre-Nobody form.

Also, booooo Disney for telling SE to change Aqua's current look, they feel the bare back is "too sexy". I say keep the sexy.

A destrictoid writer pointed out that Master Eraqus looks a lot like Sakaguchi.

Why does that 1 guy look just like Roxas?

I'm guess I need to play CoM and 358/2 huh.

Ven has some connection to Sora and Roxas, but its not clear what the connection is. What's more is each of the three characters bear familar, but reverse symbols. Aqua wears a inverted version of the Nobody emblem, Ven wears an inverted Heartless emblem while Terra wears a combo of the two.

Aww shucks. To show my appreciation for your appreciation here is some random KH trivia

The kanji that can be formed from Sora Riku and Kairi are Air, Land and Ocean. This is obviously echoed in Ventus, Terra and Aqua. But, to add to this, the kanji that can be derived from Kairi, Namine and Xion are Ocean, Wave and Tide respectively.

Neat, I didn't know that one.

I don't get the pun behind Master Eraqus though.

The only thing I could think of was what if Roxas was Ven's Nobody, but he's already Sora's isn't he?

Eraqus is Square backwards (holding the "qu" as one letter since q is rarely without u) Its the equivalent of Yen Sid and Disney.

And to Malacite, yes Roxas is Sora's nobody. This game takes place 9 years before KH1, there are no Heartless no Nobodies, just light, darkness and Unbirthed (or Unversed no romanization yet). One of the questions that supposed to be answered is why Roxas and Ventus look alike (same VA too, if there was any doubt). Just a heads up, watch the video again. Even, Dilan and Aeleus are in it, yet they barely look any different than Vexen, Xaldin and Lexeaus. Yet, Roxas has a few noticeable differences from Sora.

Roxas is Sora's Nobody. He was created when Kairi shared her heart with Sora. Perhaps the stories her grandmother told her about Ven also had some influence when she willed to share her heart with Sora. Sora's Heartless became the Nobody Roxas. Roxas is incomplete without Sora's heart.

Namine is also Sora's kind-of-but-not-really Nobody. When Sora turned the artificial Keyblade on himself in KH, it was to revive Kairi and the princesses and return their hearts, but having a strong heart and by becoming a heartless, Namine was created in his wake and took on a resemblance to Kairi because of his wish to save her. She's incomplete without Kairi's heart.

This means Sora is a surrogate mother for Nobodies. He's Kairi's bish.

Been a while since I played the games (only played 1 & 2 and I only bought #2)

KH II was more of a rent, only the handheld games so far have had actual gameplay substance.

This partially true. Sora's Heartless became Sora, not Roxas. Roxas and Namine were both born the moment Sora's body and soul became lost in darkness. Roxas came into non-existence like most Nobodies, formed out of the body and soul of his somebody, with the void of his heart coming from Sora. Namine was also formed from Sora's body and soul, but her heart's void came from Kairi, since Kairi's body and soul could not be lost to the darkness because she was a princess of heart (no darkness in her heart). From KH2 Secret Ansem report 12:

Apart from Namine’, Nobodies retain their memories of their time as humans, but Sora’s Nobody, Roxas, has lost his memories. This is likely because Sora’s time as a Heartless was short, having recovered his heart and returned to his human form soon after leaving behind Roxas, his Nobody. It would seem Roxas is much like Namine’. Namine’ is Kairi’s Nobody, but came into being via Sora’s body and soul.

Likewise, Roxas is Sora’s Nobody, but was left behind because Sora’s Heartless regained human form using Kairi’s heart instead of his own. It may be that Sora’s memories are slow to return because the half of him that is Roxas is still lacking. I must convert Roxas into data and return him to Sora. As a member of Organization XIII, it was exceedingly difficult to bring Roxas in. Having lost to Roxas once, Riku laid everything on the line and used the power of darkness in their second battle, only just managing to bring Roxas back with him.

People have proposed that Kairi's Grandmother's story is actually about the Keyblade wars. Master Xehanort pointed about in the recent trailer, it was a war between Light and Darkness. So it is possible that the children she talked about were indeed Terra, Ventus and Aqua.

Also KH2: FM+ critical mode. You'll never complain about KH2 being too easy or lacking strategy ever again.
