Yozora’s world goes unnamed in Kingdom Hearts 3, but is christened ‘Quadratum’ in Melody of Memory after Riku reveals he’s been dreaming of the city.

In Kingdom Hearts 3 Re Mind, Sora winds up battling Yozora in Quadratum – although it appears to be a friendly fight, and it’s unclear if it’s happening in a dream or not, as both characters later wake up and recall their odd fight.ĭepending on the outcome of this battle, Yozora may claim Sora ‘doesn’t need’ his powers yet, or he may trap Sora inside a crystal and vow to save him following his mysterious disappearance. They are joined by the Master of Masters, a mysterious villain who lurks from the shadows, and forms a heart over Quadratum’s moon with their hands – indicating plans to cultivate a new ‘Kingdom Hearts’ – a source of power – in this world. Yozora is a typical action hero, and is largely considered fictional for the length of Kingdom Hearts 3 – but in a secret ending for the game, both Sora and Riku end up wandering the streets of Quadratum, having crossed into this fictional world. Essentially, Verum Rex is a fictional video game in the world of Toy Story, one which is helmed by gritty protagonist Yozora – who greatly resembles the original version of Final Fantasy XV‘s Noctis, as he appeared in cancelled game Final Fantasy Versus XIII.
