Idea For a Time Travel Based Game

[matteso586 115]

Could be after Sora was located.

1. Premise being similar to Birth By Sleep, Dream Drop Distance, and Day of the Tentacle. In the latter's case, three playable characters, three time periods per world.

2. Speaking of playable characters. I was thinking it like Sora, Riku, and Kairi. Donald, Goofy, and Jiminy will still accompany Sora. As much as Mickey will still accompany Riku. Kairi... well she might travel alone. But to be on the safe side, she'll still have world exclusive characters as party members.

3. Speaking of Kairi, her gameplay should go further back to the basics. That means no focus gauge or flowmotion. And swarms of enemies should be smaller than the ones that Sora and Riku battle.

4. As for worlds. I have some ideas. But not all of them would be used. Just so you know, I'm listing the ones that have enough points in time for three different time periods. New worlds: Bambi's world, Hawaii (Lilo & Stitch), Gravity Falls, SRMTHFG, the world of The Incredibles, something Marvel related, something Star Wars related, the world of Meet The Robinsons, and/or the world of The Emperor's New Groove. Returning worlds: Daybreak Town/Scala Ad Caelum, Neverland, Atlantica, Pride Lands, Traverse Town, Radiant Garden, The Land of Departure/Castle Oblivion, and/or The Caribbean.

5. Reason for listing Pride Lands: Nomura did say it's one of his favorites.

6. The first portion may or may not tie to the KHX quests where we assist Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Chip, and Dale.

7. Depending on the point in time for the Pride Lands, a faithful recreation of Circle of Life. Like how KH3 faithfully recreated Let it Go.

8. Pixie Hollow included as an explorable area within Neverland.

9. In case of a time period where Atlantica is still mourning the death of their queen, and Sora, Donald, and Goofy visited said time period. The latter two should acknowledge how they never once asked about Ariel's mother. Sora's response? It didn't seem relevant.

10. A justification to how Pete and Sora (well, Namine actually) are able to change anything while traveling through time. In DDD, Young Xehanort claimed that nobody can change the past. But remember this, Heartless appeared in Disney Castle (and perhaps Disney Town to an extent) because of Pete's actions in Timeless River (a past version of Disney Town).

11. In Traverse Town, Cid and Tifa (assuming that she wasn't in Radiant Garden when it fell into darkness) should look like how they did in the original Final Fantasy VII.

12. The first 2-3 phases of the final battle being set in the KH1 version of Destiny Islands. Where whoever the main villain is tries to hasten the X-Blade's forging (for whatever reason) by sending Kairi to Hallow Bastion, and prevent her heart from migrating to Sora. Which would be doomed to fail, because this is a Stable Time Loop (look it up on TV Tropes). And I'm certain the main heroes prefer the past to stay as it is. KH1 Ansem SoD might be the only one with any new dialogue, while the KH1 versions of Sora, Riku, and Kairi have archived dialogue. This one was inspired by Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time.

What do you think?

Some of these are interesting ideas. Like explaining how character can change time, though Sora did pay a price for it ultimately. I'm not against time travel, but KH has really abused the idea so much that I'd prefer they back off it for awhile at least. I would like to see a game with Sora, Riku, and Kairi going on a adventure together. I know that's been said a lot but hey!

That's a good idea with that we also have the opportunity to Crete alternate kh timeliness and do more what if story's

I'm not thinking of it like Avengers: Endgame. Besides, KH3 made it seem that the series is going to mostly have the heroes do their own thing while the actual events take place.

If they do make a time travel based game, it probably won't be through the power of waking. And Sora could sarcastically remark that he's got enough time travel in his lifetime.
