I love this new site layout, every thing seems so much smoother and streamlined! Thank you for all your hard work in getting the site back up in such a short time!
Maybe it fits in the timeline between CoM and 2. During the time when Sora is in the Pod, Riku was trying to regain Sora's memories and battling the Darkness in his heart, perhaps to help gather memories he retraces Sora's footsteps from KH1 to better understand what Sora went through and find a way to help wake Sora up
From Sora's side, while his memories are being reconnected he somehow relieves them, and due to them being "incomplete" with shades of grey, he is able to manipulate his memories up until they are aligned properly.
Did anyone else notice the date at the end of the trailer??? October? I thought it was set for release early September???? The thought of waiting another full moth to get my hands on it saddens me :(
