KH3D (Spoilers) Why haven't Ventus and Aqua aged?

[CJ Smith 123]

In the game we see Ventus still sleeping and Aqua in the R.o.D. neither of them have aged, what do you think?

[Zola 3,038]

Differing timeflow and/or anti aging properties. And Ventus will be a hunchback.

[Aqua7KH 5,395]

Well maybe since Ventus lost his heart, he does not age.

And time might not flow in the Realm of Darkness.

[Kishira 2,854]

I don't think you age in the RoD....which, now that you mention it, Riku was in there for some time. Shouldn't it have slowed his growth? If anything, it gave him one hell of a growth spurt in under a year. o0

[Nohjx 157]

It's assumed that since Aqua is in the realm of darkness, she doesn't age. Also Ven is sleeping, as his heart is, and the unspoken "rule" in Kingdom Hearts is your heart controls everything. He might grow up a bit when he gets woken up, he may not.

[Tails 6,692]

Aqua hasn't aged becasue time flows differently in the Real of darkness. And Ventus can't age because his heart left his body.

[CJ Smith 123]

So is Terra old now or what do you think?

[Amon 4,279]

Square Enix is too lazy to make another character model.

[Gambler'sApprentice 131]

Ven not aging makes sense, he's asleep in a magical castle with his heart flitting about all over the place.

But time passes in the RoD unless we're told otherwise, so maybe Aqua took a nap like Riku did in the start of CoM?

[Khrulesbbs 574]

all i hope is that terra aqua and ven get a new costume in kh3 something to show that they are a lot older than sora and riku

He likely stopped aging when Terranort became Ansem SOD and Xemnas.

Yes. I find it kind of... lame is not the right word for it.

At least he should age as we can see his Nobody is an aged version of him... kind of. Other Nobodys did age after all. And even if his special state did not allow him to age with his Nobody he should at least age a bit form the time as Terranort: His heart never left his body.

[schlosserm 8]

Pbably in the kh universe the body need a heart to aged.

 

Aqua... i dont remember a video that show the actual aqua, just flashbacks and ilusions.

[Oishii 3,987]

Because eating food makes you age

*Looks at Ansem Sod from KH3D* Something tells me that's not the case...

 

Anyways, Ventus didn't age because he didn't have a heart. Some of the characters in the organization who aged, namely Axel, Saix, and Ienzo could be atributed to their "burgeoning replacement" where as the sleeping ventus had no experiences on which foster a heart. As for why aqua didn't age at all over the course of ten plus years, its because time travels more slowly in the realm of darkness. Oddly enough this was confirmed after kh2 before we even knew about her fate, but that's a discussion for another day.

[Rob 5,571]

Stopza?

When was confirmed that? an interview?

[Felix...x? 113]

I think that aqua being in RoD helped out, as for ven. This will probably not work but since his heart was connected to sora when he was 4 ish, that kind of gave him a temporary freeze of his body until his and soras ages met up

If you are referring to Ansem's model, no it wasn't confirmed, but if you were refering to time traveling slower, wait just one second.

Yep i mean time traveling

[Austin South 33]

Even if they did age, I dun think they'd look any older. Aqua seems to be of age where she doesn't have any changes in her appearance. I'd say where they're all at in appearance is where it'll stay with their age.

I looked for it in the Directors Secret Report XIII, and was nearly confident it was there, so now in seeing all the other interviews, I think I'll conclude that it was mentioned somewhere along the line. Maybe other people remember reading it?

Rob read it.

I can't imagine how badly Ventus will have to pee after he wakes up.

At the end of Re COM it looks like he made it out with mickey and looked the same. Can we really tell that he was in the dark realm for long? He was pretty active during days. Riku's age always bothers me though. In my opinion coded didn't need to be a game and a story solely around riku would be better. Yen side knew people needed.
