One Traverse Town Year?

[hatok 6,413]

in KH1, Leon and the gang talk about how Maleficent invaded Hollow Bastion ten years ago.

Dream Drop Distance confirmed that each world has a different time flow.

So what I'm wondering is, does that mean Traverse Town years, or Hollow bastion years?

This can apply to things like Sora being asleep for a year. Was he asleep for a Twilight Town year? Or a Destiny Island year? Do different worlds have different qualifications for a year?

Is Sora 14 Desint yIsland years old at the start of KH1?

Does going to a dfferent world cause you to be affected by their time dilation? Or would you age at the rate of the world you're born in?

Wow that's actually what I was thinking about a couple days ago, good question...I'd assume they age along with their world, but it's Nomura, so I can almost guarantee this will forever be a plothole unless it gets brought up in an interview, unfortunately...I'd say that you age with the world you're born into, since they're kind of a "part" of their own world, at least that's what I got from KH 1. I assume all of the Squeenix worlds such as Traverse and Twilight Town, DI, TWTNW, etc. have a regular timeflow, as in 365 days is a year. I mean, a whole game is named after it. Kinda makes sense. Sora was away from his islands and still aged a complete Destiny Island year, so that pretty much answers it.

When "different timeflow" was brought up, I didn't think of different numbers of days in a year, I thought they were talking about differing rates of time. Because what if one second in Destiny Islands equals 1.25 seconds in some other world, but only because time moves at a different speed, rather than a person's interpretation?

 

If I make no sense, don't mind me. Semi-normal human attempting to explain Nomuralogic here.

Yeah these games have so much shit that boggles the mind it's starting to become annoying to think about...Which is why I kind of ignore these plot points. I get what you're saying though lol

I thought, the time flows different problem was already "fixed" in KH 1 - with the Heartless. They appear everywhere and rob the world of its natural being aka time flow, because their a... was it shields that proteced them(?), were kind of destroyed?

no, this is about the supposed "uniqueness" of the worlds.  Joshua and Riku discuss it in DDD.

Okay. Could quite remember.

DDD was about time - maybe there will come some answers? (Yeah, I don't believe it, too).

answers?  from Nomura?  good joke

I figured the time difference was pretty negligible, like maybe a few seconds or an hour or so.  The TWEWY gang, as far as I know, are on time limits of around a half hour to an hour, and the difference between the characters' timers wasn't huge.  Even if those seconds or minutes or hours add up overtime, I don't think the difference between worlds is important enough to warrant a Destiny Islands year or a Twilight Town year.

 

Plus, thinking about time issues inevitably gives me headaches whenever the trope is introduced, so I prefer to take what's presented at face value instead of examining it too deeply...

Every world has it's own time flow, but I think that Traverse Town, Twilight Town, Radiant Garden, DI and possibly TWTNW have similar time flows.  Therefore, while a year in, let's say RG, is 365 days, just like a year in Traverse Town.  But If someone left Traverse Town and stayed in RG for a year, they might come back to Traverse Town and find out that 370 days have past there.

But this phenomena is used to explain why Donald's nephews haven't aged in ten years...

I thought it was just an oversight on the game's part. That, or the trio are immortal.
