OK REAL GENUINE THEORY TIME bc i've been watching the finished KHUX dub after the KHML trailer.
What if the reason that the Player is able to retain their form/age when reincarnating in KHML is because there was already a body waiting for them upon reentry into the living world. Let me explain.
In the ending of KHUX, Luxu enters the Ark room with a body in tow, placing it into the lifeboat so that it may find it's way to the future, calling it "The True Dandelion".
Initially many (including myself) believed that this was Strelitzia and her white coat, sending her off potentially to quadratum for KH4 plot reasons. But, when we last see Strelitzia in KHUX, she is following a man in a black coat out of the scene.
I believe that the person escorting Strelitzia out is the MoM, as they both appear in quadratum, While the figure Luxu is loading into the lifeboat is a vessel for the player to take shape in Missing Link. This would explain why the player falls out of the sky, and ends up washed up onto the beach much like Kairi when she first arrived on the destiny islands via Ark travel
I dont know exactly what this means or why Luxu would rig the player's trajectory to land in Scala, but i believe he has some kind of plan and that we are very critical to it.

Something I noticed is that all employees look to be around the same age as the player character. This includes the guards that are posted to keep some areas off limits. Why is that? Are there no adults in Missing Link's version of Scala?
Even if the guards were also Keyblade wielders, since we learned that they're not uncommon in this city, you'd still expect a job like that to be handled by people who are more experienced.

not sure if everyone else has already figured it out and i'm just slow on the uptake but... remus is probably referencing brain's situation here, right
"but that wouldn't explain those keyblade skills of yours... hm? or would it?" makes me think he's comparing player's sudden appearance to brain's, since brain also kinda fulfills those two points (being a drifter, technically, and being a skilled wielder)
however: assuming that sigurd is one of the founders (whatever that entails), the line "otherwise the founders would be here" likely means that if player were in a similar situation to brain's i.e being from the past, they'd be here to pick them up like sigurd did, but clearly they're not. the clothes comment could also be talking about how brain showed up looking exactly as he did in his normal clothes, but player showed up in clothing more typical of scala ad caelum residents, thus throwing them even further off the trail of possibly-maybe being from the past like brain (worth noting in jp he uses the word 姿, which more vaguely means "appearance" instead of just clothing)
not to mention that brain does have his memories, while player remembers practically nothing
so it's basically just remus with his head in his hands going "maybe they're from the past like [brain] is? or... maybe not??" which is also exactly what i do when i think about anything in this series

This one screenshot has so much I want to talk about in it so I’m gonna babble about it below the cut
(TLDR: CQ geeks out about translating the Scala Language)
Okay, so first off I’d like to say how much I love the newspaper vibe they are going for and achieving with menus. It has me gnawing on the walls. There’s just Scala Script (the Scala language, for clarity’s sake) everywhere and my code breaking brain is eating it up.
Speaking of which here’s what I’ve been able to translate so far (out of what I’ve been able to make out… the writing is pretty scuffed up in places and it’s not the highest quality image lol)
So the first thing I’d like to focus on are the banners. Each one has something written in Scalian underneath. Those things in order of left to right are “Daily”, “Item”, and “Avatar”, which uh, makes sense lol.
I think it’s a little strange that “Item” is the only one that isn’t exactly translated… like did they just forget the “S”?
On a more interesting note though, this one for one translation here means we now have an official Scalian character for “V”. Unfortunately the character used is pretty scrapped away, so I can’t be 100% sure, but I do think I know which character is used.
(Click/tap on the images below… for whatever reason they were just not formatting correctly)
I also considered it being the one below, but because of the location of the flecks I lean more towards the first one.
I also might have translated another new Scalian character but I’m not sure…
See, on the bar at the top of the screen it says “[unknown character]ho[same unknown character]colates”. I spent at least an hour trying to find out all the possible English words what it could be. I just filled in the blanks tried anagrams, the whole shebang (except for trying that with the other languages that are most likely to be used. Those being Japanese, for obvious reasons, and Latin, which has been used in Scala Script before on the manhole covers in KH3 Scala) and came out with one possible word: Chocolate.
And I must be wrong because that makes no sense, but in case I’m right, it’s here.
I tried to cross reference with KH3 signs to no avail so I’m a bit stumped…
Maybe the little blurb on the other side makes it make sense but it’s too blurry for me to read.
Next up I’ll talk about the “Weather”.
The top text is decently clear so I was able to work that out pretty quickly (pros of being fluent in this fictional language I guess lol) and thanks to that clear text I was actually able to make out a bit more of what was below it than I would’ve otherwise. See, the smaller letters are pretty blurry but I’m able to vaguely make them out. The “L” and “W” were what I caught first and I filled in the blank between pretty fast with some pretty simple connections. Once I’d seen that I realized that there was probably a high there too, and there do seem to be “H”s on either side of the word above it… and a “G”… and an “I” (I think, I was trying to double check but my iPad has significantly worse image quality than my computer).
As for the temperature, I tried my best but the numbers are probably inaccurate. They are very blurry.
Last but not least, here are a few of my smaller notes.
I’m a big fan of the Moogle stamp, but I could not tell you what the first word on that thing is. The second is “news”, clear as day but the first word doesn’t have any characters I recognize other than the “S”. I tried coming up with possibilities through context but I’m drawing a blank.
I also love the little Potion and Elixir advertisement in the bottom corner. Like, I’m so charmed by the art for it. That being said though, I also have no clue what the text next to this one says. I’m sure it’s an onomatopoeia of some sort but once again my brain wasn’t working with me.
If you guys have any ideas please let me know. I always love to have discussions and help.
(Also I know I left a whole text box out… I honestly have nothing to say about that. Not enough characters I recognize to decipher anything at this point)

re: the khml logo - I actually thought it could represent an armillary sphere spinning! It seems on point with the astral theme going on, and with the time period. I didn’t look that closely at the map shown in the beta, but it seems like the style would match that of an ancient map/globe
good point! reminded me that there's something like that in the dark road classroom
