Prior to the release of ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', which featured " | Prior to the release of ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', which featured "[[Birth by Sleep (video)|Birth by Sleep]]", a secret video continuing "The Gathering", there was heavy speculation as to the identities of the three armored figures. Once it was released, [[Nomura]] revealed the identities of [[Terra]], [[Ventus]], and [[Aqua]], noting that they had a connection to [[Sora]], [[Riku]], [[Kairi]] and [[Xehanort]], though he refused to specify to avoid spoiling plot points. This scene ultimately occurs in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' ten years before the events of ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', where it is followed by a vicious battle between the three warriors and Master Xehanort and [[Vanitas]]. | ||
"The Gathering" was conceptual. The actual meeting in the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] of Terra, Ventus, and Aqua does not feature the three armored. Nomura has said that they were depicted as such in "The Gathering" because he did not have final designs worked out for any of them. Additionally, Terra does not stand on a vanishing metal structure, nor do any of the three Keyblade wielders pick up Keyblades associated with Sora, Riku, or [[Mickey]]. The previously known Keyblades they picked up hinted at their fates at the end of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'': Terra picks up Sora's Kingdom Key, a Keyblade from the [[Realm of Light]], symbolic of Terra remaining in the realm. Ventus picks up Riku's Way to the Dawn, symbolic of his half light/half dark nature in balance with Vanitas, the fact that the two become one being again, and that he eventually rests within the [[Realm Between]], in [[Castle Oblivion]]. Aqua picks up Mickey's Kingdom Key D, a Keyblade from the [[Realm of Darkness]], symbolic of Aqua trapped in the Dark World. | "The Gathering" was conceptual.
