LightRoxas - "Go ahead, you just keep running! But I'll always be there to bring you back!" TALK - "He made me feel... like I had a heart." Small spoilers ahead if you haven't finished 3D yet. Anyway, I beat the game today and managed to unlock the "Secret Message" during the credits. I went to the glossary to read it, and it goes as follows: "The past will be reawakened as a new number in never-before-seen detail. Prepare yourself for the awakening of the next number." At first I didn't get it at all, and thought maybe it was a reference to the Secret Ending that I had yet to unlock. Then I realized that it is definitely hinting at an upcoming HD collection - "never-before-seen detail" kind of gives that away. So yeah, this pretty much all-but confirms that an HD rerelease is on the horizon, and I'd say the second part is probably talking about KHIII. It's not confirmed information, so we can't really put any of it on the wiki, but it's cool either way.

AROS - My friends are my power! TALK - Okay, why not? I'll go with you guys." - 18:10 WHOA, hold your gummis there, Light! That seems to be reading too much between the lines. A phrase like "never-before-seen detail" is a bit to vague to label it as a confirmation for an HD collection. I know Nomura has expressed interest in doing an HD collection, but he hasn't necessarily said anything else about that, let alone a confirmation. We could speculate a lot of things about this message. For me, it sounds like rather than a game announcement, it's hinting at the unveiling of the new Thirteenth Member of the True Organization XIII. "Prepare yourself for the awakening of the next number." That's a bit more obvious in my opinion, but I could be wrong. I would love to see the HD collection as much as you do, but I doubt it's going to be the next thing in the series (but if it is, then you can be the first to tell me "I told ya so", because I would totally deserve that ^^), but I wouldn't be surprised if they announced and/or released them for a landmark anniversary like the series's 13th or 15th birthday. But more likely than not, the message is probably hinting at Kingdom Hearts III, as cliche as that theory is by now. Personally, I'm hoping for Birth by Sleep vol. 2, but I can't honestly find a way to link that up to this message right now (but give me a day or so and I could probably come up with something). Still, neither one of us could be wrong, but my point is that we should wait for more information before we start throwing labels at stuff.

LinkRoxas - "Nice pants!" TALK - "My antiques!" While you could be right, my reasoning has to do with what it sounds like when you go through it piece by piece. "The past..." Past games in the series, perhaps? "...will be reawakened..." As in, seen again? "...in never-before-seen detail!" Released in HD? Honestly, not sure about the second part at the moment, that could be something completely different. Nomura has said time and again, though, that he wants to make it easier for more people to enter into the series. Although with Nomura's history, I guess I wouldn't be shocked if this was about a tea party. And you definitely raise good points, AROS. Still, I feel like it's pretty clear.
