==Story==
==Story==
After being saved by [[Ephemer]] and [[Skuld]] following the conclusion of the [[Keyblade War]], [[Player (KHχ)|Player]] is brought to another realm, where the [[Dandelions]] have assembled as per [[Ava]]'s instructions. Upon entering this new realm, Player and the Dandelions lose all memories of the past world, with the exception of the five wielders chosen to become the new [[Union]] leaders.
After being saved by [[Ephemer]] and [[Skuld]] following the conclusion of the [[Keyblade War]], [[Player (KHχ)|Player]] is brought to another realm, where the [[Dandelions]] have assembled as per [[Ava]]'s instructions. Upon entering this new realm, however, everyone loses all their memories of their previous world, with the exception of the five wielders chosen to become the new [[Union]] leaders.
 
Following Ava's orders, Ephemer ventures to the the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] as one of the new Union Leaders. Soon, Ephemer is joined by Skuld, the second of the new Union Leaders, much to his surprise. When Skuld questions the whereabouts of other three Union Leaders, Ephemer admitted that, before Skuld showed up, he had his doubts about becoming a Union leader. [[Ventus]], the third Union Leader, arrives and Ephemer and Skuld welcome him. While waiting for the fourth Union leader to appear, Ephemer and Skuld bond with Ventus, who is bewildered as to why he was chosen to become one of the new Union leaders. He admits that he is a little jealous of Ephemer and Skuld's friendship, though they assure him that they consider him a friend as well. Amused by the concept of friends, the fourth Union Leader appears and introduces himself as [[Brain]]. When Ephemer confirms that Brain is not the last to arrive as he had anticipated, Brain asks if Ephemer is meant to be their leader. Ephemer denies this, feeling as though they should wait until all of them are together to decide who leads. Brain then asks if the rules Ava provided are meant to be absolute, as he has issue with the concept of lying to the Dandelions, something which Ventus relates to. Thinking about the pain that Player had endured because of the Keyblade War, Ephemer firmly states that they are to follow the rules and that the truth about the previous world must remain a secret so that no one has to remember the tragedy of the Keyblade War. Brain, Ven, and Skuld all accept this, stating that they all believe in Ephemer. Together, the four new Union Leaders await the arrival of their final comrade.
 
Player resumes his missions, initially reliving through [[Kingdom Hearts χ|the events leading up to the Keyblade War]], and later making use of the newly created Union Cross, joining a party of fellow Dandelions and traveling to new worlds. Soon, Player has a nightmare in which he sees himself collapsed after the events of the Keyblade War. Furthermore, they relive their battle with [[Aced]] from just before the fated battle. Upon their defeat at Aced's hand, Player is jolted awake and Chirithy, concerned of the frequency of Player's nightmares, advises them to rest. As Player accepts this and warily returns to sleep, Chirithy bids them goodnight and continues to watch over them.


Following Ava's orders, new Union leaders Ephemer, Skuld, [[Ventus]], and [[Brain]] eventually converge at the [[Keyblade Graveyard]]. When Brain and Ventus express their reluctance about lying to the Dandelions about the Keyblade War, Ephemer thinks about the pain Player had to endure because of the war and firmly states that must follow Ava's rules so that no one has to remember the tragedy of the Keyblade War. Accepting this, the four new Union leaders await the arrival of their final comrade.
Prior to the Keyblade War, [[Strelitzia]], another member of the Dandelions, takes note of Player as he waits for Ephemer in the Fountain Square, taking a keen interest in them. After witnessing Player's battle with Aced, Strelitzia is approached by Ava and asked to be one of the new Union leaders following the events of the Keyblade War. Concerned about those who will be left behind during the Keyblade War, Strelitzia remembers that Player is not a Dandelion, and insists that she has to warn Player of the danger that is to come. The next day, while searching for Player in an abandoned house, the two of them are attacked by an unseen assailant, who steals Strelitzia's rule book before leaving. Streltzia holds her Chirithy in her arms, sad that she did not get the chance to see Player, before both she and her Chirithy fade away.


Meanwhile, Player resumes their missions, making use of the newly imposed Union χ by joining a party of fellow Dandelions, and traveling to new worlds, such as the [[Castle of Dreams]] and [[Enchanted Dominion]]. Soon, Player has a nightmare in which they see themselves collapsed after the events of the Keyblade War, particularly their battle with [[Aced]] at the Fountain Square. Player is jolted awake and Chirithy, concerned of frequency of Player's nightmares, advises them to rest. As Player warily returns to sleep, Chirithy bids them goodnight and continues to watch over them.
Ephemer, Skuld, Ventus, and Brain grow concerned when the fifth Union leader does not show up and begin searching the Keyblade Graveyard. Soon, [[Lauriam]] approaches, apologizing for being so late, as he had been searching for something.  


Prior to the Keyblade War, [[Strelitzia]], another member of the Dandelions, takes note of Player as they wait for Ephemer at the Fountain Square, taking a keen interest in them when she returns to see them crying and clutching his Chirithy tightly. Over time, Strelitzia continues to see Player and feels drawn to them, though she is unable to speak with them herself. After witnessing Player's battle with Aced, Strelitzia is approached by Ava and asked to be one of the new Union leaders following the events of the Keyblade War. Concerned about those who will be left behind during the Keyblade War, Strelitzia remembers that Player is not a Dandelion, meaning that they will be one of those who is left behind, and insists that she has to warn Player of the danger that is to come. The next day, Strelitzia's Chirithy spots Player and leads her to an abandoned house, where the two of them are attacked by an unseen assailant, who steals Strelitzia's rule book before leaving. Strelitzia holds her Chirithy in her arms, sad that she did not get the chance to meet Player in person, before both she and her Chirithy fade away.
Together at last, the five enter the Foreteller's Chamber in Daybreak Town, where Brain looks through a copy of the [[Book of Prophecies]] that he finds. Ultimately, they decide to keep the Unions united under a Union Cross for the time being, while also keeping the absence of the Foretellers a secret. Brain then decides that in order to celebrate, they should make creating new [[Dream Eaters|Spirits]] their first task, sending Ephemer, Skuld, and Ventus to collect the supplies while he and Lauriam prepare to synthesize the materials.

==Changes from ''Kingdom Hearts χ''==
*{{c|Cards|KHχ}} have been replaced with {{c|Medal|ucx}}s.<ref name="Famitsu">'''''Famitsu'' Interview'''; '''Nomura''': "Since we are considering developing this game overseas, we have adjusted it accordingly. When our testing team in America had Smartphone users play it, if they saw cards as they appeared in [KHX], they tended to think of it as the so called "card games". Although after having they play it for a while we had good reactions, the first impression of the game wasn't good. Since the first impression of a game is very important, we tried something other than cards."</ref>
*Players are able to switch genders and [[Union]]s at any time.<ref>'''[https://twitter.com/KHUX_PR/status/629522186772938757 Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ Twitter]''': As the aforementioned Itou-chan is the papa, now it's possible to switch genders at any time in character customization. It's possible to change hair color and the face and such too at any time during the game. With this, when you start, there will be no need to stress about taking your time, right?</ref>
*Overworlds have been replaced with the Quest system.
*Action Points have been overhauled; they now function as a stamina system that enable the player to enter Quests and start Raids.
*BP has been removed.
*Lux and EXP have been consolidated.
*New Heartless have been added.

Story

After being saved by Ephemer and Skuld following the conclusion of the Keyblade War, Player is brought to another realm, where the Dandelions have assembled as per Ava's instructions. Upon entering this new realm, however, everyone loses all their memories of their previous world, with the exception of the five wielders chosen to become the new Union leaders.

Following Ava's orders, Ephemer ventures to the the Keyblade Graveyard as one of the new Union Leaders. Soon, Ephemer is joined by Skuld, the second of the new Union Leaders, much to his surprise. When Skuld questions the whereabouts of other three Union Leaders, Ephemer admitted that, before Skuld showed up, he had his doubts about becoming a Union leader. Ventus, the third Union Leader, arrives and Ephemer and Skuld welcome him. While waiting for the fourth Union leader to appear, Ephemer and Skuld bond with Ventus, who is bewildered as to why he was chosen to become one of the new Union leaders. He admits that he is a little jealous of Ephemer and Skuld's friendship, though they assure him that they consider him a friend as well. Amused by the concept of friends, the fourth Union Leader appears and introduces himself as Brain. When Ephemer confirms that Brain is not the last to arrive as he had anticipated, Brain asks if Ephemer is meant to be their leader. Ephemer denies this, feeling as though they should wait until all of them are together to decide who leads. Brain then asks if the rules Ava provided are meant to be absolute, as he has issue with the concept of lying to the Dandelions, something which Ventus relates to. Thinking about the pain that Player had endured because of the Keyblade War, Ephemer firmly states that they are to follow the rules and that the truth about the previous world must remain a secret so that no one has to remember the tragedy of the Keyblade War. Brain, Ven, and Skuld all accept this, stating that they all believe in Ephemer. Together, the four new Union Leaders await the arrival of their final comrade.

Player resumes his missions, initially reliving through the events leading up to the Keyblade War, and later making use of the newly created Union Cross, joining a party of fellow Dandelions and traveling to new worlds. Soon, Player has a nightmare in which he sees himself collapsed after the events of the Keyblade War. Furthermore, they relive their battle with Aced from just before the fated battle. Upon their defeat at Aced's hand, Player is jolted awake and Chirithy, concerned of the frequency of Player's nightmares, advises them to rest. As Player accepts this and warily returns to sleep, Chirithy bids them goodnight and continues to watch over them.

Prior to the Keyblade War, Strelitzia, another member of the Dandelions, takes note of Player as he waits for Ephemer in the Fountain Square, taking a keen interest in them. After witnessing Player's battle with Aced, Strelitzia is approached by Ava and asked to be one of the new Union leaders following the events of the Keyblade War. Concerned about those who will be left behind during the Keyblade War, Strelitzia remembers that Player is not a Dandelion, and insists that she has to warn Player of the danger that is to come. The next day, while searching for Player in an abandoned house, the two of them are attacked by an unseen assailant, who steals Strelitzia's rule book before leaving. Streltzia holds her Chirithy in her arms, sad that she did not get the chance to see Player, before both she and her Chirithy fade away.

Ephemer, Skuld, Ventus, and Brain grow concerned when the fifth Union leader does not show up and begin searching the Keyblade Graveyard. Soon, Lauriam approaches, apologizing for being so late, as he had been searching for something.

Together at last, the five enter the Foreteller's Chamber in Daybreak Town, where Brain looks through a copy of the Book of Prophecies that he finds. Ultimately, they decide to keep the Unions united under a Union Cross for the time being, while also keeping the absence of the Foretellers a secret. Brain then decides that in order to celebrate, they should make creating new Spirits their first task, sending Ephemer, Skuld, and Ventus to collect the supplies while he and Lauriam prepare to synthesize the materials.

  6. ^ Famitsu Interview; Nomura: "Since we are considering developing this game overseas, we have adjusted it accordingly. When our testing team in America had Smartphone users play it, if they saw cards as they appeared in [KHX], they tended to think of it as the so called "card games". Although after having they play it for a while we had good reactions, the first impression of the game wasn't good. Since the first impression of a game is very important, we tried something other than cards."
  7. ^ Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ Twitter: As the aforementioned Itou-chan is the papa, now it's possible to switch genders at any time in character customization. It's possible to change hair color and the face and such too at any time during the game. With this, when you start, there will be no need to stress about taking your time, right?
