hatok 6,413 Posted October 6, 2012 He also never would have known Kairi, Riku would never have become a keyblade wielder and they never would have set off trying to leave Destiny Island Terra would have become a master, they wouldn't have left the land of the departure, Ven wouldn't have turned up (MX brought him there after splitting him) so the trio would be a duo, they'd prob fall in love since like NO ONE else lives there bar Eraqus so they'd have lolly babies. EDIT: Personally though I don't want them to go back in time and kill him before it started. It logically couldn't have happened, cause if they killed him he never would have done all that horrible stuff they never would have been mad at him for doing it so they'd be standing over him in his sleep with a knife going "dude, why we even killing this brother?" I specifically avoided saying kill for that reason. It`ll probably be more metaphorical than that.Like they use Kingdom Hearts to ambiguously stop Xehanort, and it undoes everything he did, or something Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like they use Kingdom Hearts to ambiguously stop Xehanort, and it undoes everything he did, or something I don't think what he did will ever be undone, the heartless(/andnobodies/b/) will always be the default enemy in the game and undoing what he does will rid them, then they'd have to create a equally as popular minor enemy for the next saga's anatagonist.

The whole point of Kingdom Hearts has been to find a way to get rid of the heartless. I`m almost 100% sure that the next series will use a new enemy, or at least have some excuse for why the heartless come back. After all, it`s a pretty terrible conclusion if t`s just `Xehanort was defeated, but the heartless still exist and will continue to terrorize the worlds forever` Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But the reason there are so few people in the worlds is because they all lost their hearts http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/smiley-neutral.png Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Queen Tery 4,591 Posted October 6, 2012 I think this is a great theory. It would give the story a chance to have an interesting reset. If Sora never meets Kairi and Riku and Sora never have to go through all of this bullshit it gives them a chance to completely redevelop their characters and still continue the story.

deathrebirthsenshi 279 Posted October 7, 2012 I doubt that would happen, just for the following reasons: Sora would never have met everyone he did, not even Donald and Goofy Roxas, Xion, and Namine would never have existed Lea would never have met Sora Kairi would still be in Hollow Bastion, never meeting Sora Sora and Riku would just be normal island kids, and who knows how they turned out without Kairi to fight over (probably go with each other...lol) Who knows where Ven would be, if he would even be a keyblade wielder, leaving Aqua and Terra a duo. Eraqus would be alive, Terra would probably never have had is struggle with the darkness because he never left, Aqua would just be awesome without an outlet. I could see Sora sort of struggling with this sacrifice, making everything undone, but...just for the fact of Roxas, Namine, and Xion never existing; that's sort of a permanent thing that couldn't be undone. It actually might be interesting to have the other situations--ie, Sora meeting Kairi for the "first time," Terra and Aqua being masters together and investigating things on their own, them eventually meeting Ven and making him a keyblade wielder...meeting Lea...meeting Donald and Goofy...starting at level 0 again ( ) Or perhaps, there are ghosts of what might have been in Ven, Roxas, and Xion...or perhaps they're born into the world anyway, proving that they were supposed to exist afterall? All of them in Twilight Town, Namine lives in the now-unabandonedmansion... I mean, if you can't change destiny...and, say, it was always Xehanort's destiny to die... I'm seriously thinking of writing a fanfic about this now... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G-SANtos 105 Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) The whole point of Kingdom Hearts has been to find a way to get rid of the heartless. I`m almost 100% sure that the next series will use a new enemy, or at least have some excuse for why the heartless come back. After all, it`s a pretty terrible conclusion if t`s just `Xehanort was defeated, but the heartless still exist and will continue to terrorize the worlds forever` I'm pretty sure Nomura said somewhere that Heartless will always exist as long as there are hearts, but I don't remember the exact interview. The best I could find now was Nomura saying: Nomura: As Yen Sid says in "KHII", the Heartless cannot be separated from the darkness in people's hearts, and have been around for a long time. Beings of darkness can draw out the darkness in the heart, so Master Xehanort could summon the Neoshadows with his own hands. In the same way, when Xehanort and Ansem the Wise's students begin to perform the first experiments on the darkness of the heart, artificial Heartless were created in large numbers. But I'll look up later. I bet Flaming Lea will show up to and correct me if I'm wrong.Either way, Heartless existed even before of Xehanort's actions, and they will probably keep existing forever, as they are the darkness in people's hearts, and almost every heart has darkness. Heartless can't be gone. Roxas, Xion, and Namine would never have existed Exactly. That's why Nomura isn't going to use his logic to find a way to break the time-traveling rule and undo the whole series. He already said KHIII will be partially about saving Terra, Aqua, Ventus, Roxas, Naminé, and Xion. While undoing everything would save the first three, as they would have never been in danger, it would be the exact opposite for the latter trio, as they would have never existed.

Columned-Munny 274 Posted October 7, 2012 This would be awful. It would violate the series's own rules (time travelers can't alter events, you must have a version of yourself at your destination, when you return to your own time your memory of time travel is erased) and invalidate all of the main protagonist's journeys, all for the sake of having an emotional moment. I understand that they played fast and loose with the previous plot in DDD, but to disregard explicitly stated explanations like that would be a travesty. I'm holding out for zero time travel in KHIII. I hate that they introduced time travel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm holding out for zero time travel in KHIII. I hate that they introduced time travel. Time travel was around since KHII, have you heard of Timeless River? Of course, Timeless River brings a continuity error to this, but someone in KHInsider suggested that Merlin and Xehanort use different methods. If Xehanort's magic is different from Merlin's, then this theory could be right, as both of them would have different limitations on their powers. Either way, this series happens in a world of fantasy and partially science-fiction, time travel was going to show up some... time, it was just a matter of... time. But I'm sure there'll be something of time travel in KHIII, even if just a "Sora sees his own future as an adult and then goes back without remembering anything, and his heart's memory gives him hope" or some other emotional thing. It could even be something Eraqus did after Terra-Xehanort split himself, and this thing would eventually lead to Xehanort's destruction in the second Keyblade War. Heck, Eraqus could even be the seventh light. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heck, Eraqus could even be the seventh light. I know obviously know about Timeless River. I would note that this instance of time travel is a side plot, not the conclusion to the Xehanort saga. I'm assuming that if they could have Merlin whip up a portal to the past to undo all their past defeats they would, hence the limitations to the time travel as you mention. Time travel has already become more of a mess than it should be simply because there's more than one way to travel through time, without any clear reason as to why Merlin or Pete could summon a portal and Xehanort couldn't. I don't want the end of the game series to rely on them using some alternative method of time travel when Xehanort's method was emphasized so heavily in DDD. But I agree with you on the "Sora vision" concept, and I would like to see Eraqus have an impact in some way. The vision idea is something I hadn't thought of before, and is genuinely intriguing. I still remain stubbornly anti-physical time travel, a view I realize will probably lead to dissatisfaction. I also highly approve of your "matter of time" pun.

Heartless can't be gone. Good motivation for a future light-based anti-villain: simply use KH to "heal" every heart of darkness, and solve that problem. I call Aqua. Or perhaps Terra; he could feel like everyone's hearts would be better off if they were just like the Princesses Of Hearts' hearts, since his own heart's darkness ended up giving him a miserable life.
