Ansem Seeker of Darkness, Xemnas, Old Xehanort, Young Xehanort, Vanitas, Xigbar, Saix, Luxord, Larxene, edit: Marluxia, and Aqua. That's 11 members of the New Organization XIII. I wonder who the other 2 will be.

They’re yellow in the Japanese version of the third E3 trailer. There’s an extra scene at 2:24 that displays this.
Why the hell was this not in the English trailer? Also he and Larxene were traitors, why are they still in? And how is this gonna connect to him being a Dandelion?

Don't assume Aqua is part of it just yet. Kingdom Hearts is a very context-senstitive series, and there's always the chance this could be a marketing ploy.

As for Disney worlds, that means we have
1. Mount Olympus (Hercules)
2. Kingdom of Corona (Tangled)
3. San Fransokyo (Big Hero 6)
4. Toy Box (Toy Story)
5. Monstropolis (Monsters, Inc.)
6. Arendelle (Frozen)
7. The Caribbean (Pirates of the Caribbean)

I'm thinking we'll get three more. What will they be?

I can see another Princess world - either Brave or Princess and the Frog.
There was a leaked world list that may have confirmed 100 Acre Wood's return.
And there's usually a curveball world - maybe we could see The Emperor's New Groove. Or it could be a proper Lilo & Stitch world. So many possibilities.

I would lose my mind if we got Emperor's New Groove. Though I'm also a huge Pixar fanboy so I'd really hope at least one of Brave, Wall-E, Finding Nemo, or The Incredibles would show up.

I still don't quite think Aqua is a Xehanort I do wonder who else is in the organization. While I love the original 13 with all my heart I do hope at least a few left are members we straight up didn't see happening. How messed up would it be if Xion turned out to be one. Or since they travel through time Xehanort captures and converts Yen Sid and we see the moment the last Xehanort is created and that's why Mickey had that Keyblade we saw (unless that was Riku's with a different keychain). Also though it may seem hypocritical to mention after saying I want members outside of the original members Demyx better come back. Man the visual details are insane too like Sora's pirate outfit has a gold tooth and in the trailer, you can see the knuckle bones from his fist. Also the more we see of the gameplay god the more fun it looks. I can't wait to play it myself. I'm a pretty patient guy so the 5 year wait hasn't bothered me but after this E3 just the few months left seem agonizing.

I'm guessing Agrabah, Wonderland (Tim Burton Version), and Gravity Falls.

Good news: after ZeRo won the invitational, he promoted the idea of Sora playable in Smash Ultimate:

There was a problem fetching the tweet

So even if Sora is not in the base game, you can still bet demand for Sora will remain consistently immensely high during the DLC period.

Excellent. ZeRo strikes me as the kind of person whom, when he speaks, people listen. That said, it's nice to have a high-profile gamer supporting Sora.

[EDIT] I think I'll add that tweet to the OP.

We saw Sora at all the big consoles he's got to be jumping on the switch bandwagon, whether that is as a smash character or a port of his games or both (please both). I feel like he has such a big presents now as a character so maybe Nintendo has noticed and he'll come along for a Smash bash (please don't make him an assist trophy like Bomberman).

Well, I'm still gunning for Sora joining Smash Bros. and recently we received confirmation that Disney isn't against this idea at all! We also received undeniable confirmation that Disney owns 100% of the rights to Sora, so the fear of Nintendo having to pay 2 companies for the character can be thrown right out the window! To anybody who supports #Sora4smash or even thinks this would be a cool inclusion, this is now your chance! It's too late for him to join the vanilla version of SSBU, but in the event that they bring back DLC for highly requested characters, you can let Disney, Square Enix, Nintendo, and/or Sora Ltd. know ahead of time that we want our boy to join the roster!

Confirmation comes in the way of this video where the youtuber explains his interview with a representative from Disney. Feel free to watch the whole thing if you'd like:

You'd think it were that simple until you actually learn that next to nobody knows this. Mainly because of the fact that the games are developed by SE, they think they own a portion of the series. Either that or they think that Disney owns the franchise, but somehow splits the character rights for Sora with SE.

With this being the majority opinion, it's better to clear the air so everybody knows that "Sora can't join because Nintendo would have to pay two companies for the rights" isn't a valid argument against his inclusion.

https://gonintendo.com/stories/311590-nintendo-and-disney-team-up-for-a-switch-focused-tv-show

- show is named "Nintendo Switch Family Showdown"
- set to debut this Summer
- show features four families competing against each other by playing a variety of Switch games
- examples are "finding collectibles in 'Super Mario Odyssey,' matches in 'Mario Tennis Aces' & dance-offs in 'Just Dance 2018'
- available on Disney Channel and Disney XD, as well as the DisneyNOW app
Disney and Nintendo have a very strong relationship at this point.

I saw a video predicting all of the Seekers of the Darkness and the last one he predicted was Ansem The Wise, and the idea stuck with me ever since.

I support Sora, doing a KH marathon atm after not playing for years and it makes me love the character all over again. Hope that he gets his KH2 (or 3) design though and not young Sora

Me too mate. KH2 Sora is the best Sora and I'd be pretty sad if he came in as clown Sora.
