KingdomHearts3 2,591 Posted February 4, 2013 As you all know, ever since we have learned that Xehanort time traveled, everything has been altered. I am curious to ask you all: how do you think all past events turned out when Xehanort time traveled? Give your theories and comments here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarLea Quinn 26,501 Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) The way Xehanort time traveled made it a continuous time loop meaning everything happened exactly the way we saw it bc it was always set up to be that way. At least up until DDD . That's why MX loves to spout about 'destiny" even though it was a forced/ manipulated destiny which in itself is contradictory Edited February 4, 2013 by Flaming Lea 8 Caity, Roxas Seeking Light, Pyrrha Nikos and 5 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Master Juan 574 Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) Xehanort went back in time and made it so that Sora would never get laid by Kairi, which he originally would have done several times in KH2. I mean seriously, what else is there to do on that island besides Kairi? (Don't even say Riku.....) Im confused. So is everyone else. Time Travel is bullshit and when people have to struggle to understand a story, its obviously a terrible concept. It ruined Kingdom Hearts and I'm starting to see more flaws and cheesiness in the game than I am the positive.

HarLea Quinn 26,501 Posted February 4, 2013 Im confused. Where are you confused exactly ? It is complicated . Basically, by time traveling to the past and giving YMX the time traveling power and whatnot, MX set it up that he would always grow up to become himself, with the same fate with the same outcome leading to the same current time and events.Meaning, it keeps repeating itself bc YMX is destined to become Ansem and give his young self the powers to continue the 'destined' events of the future over and over . 2 Robbie the Wise and Handsome_the_Wise reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't worry, when the Xehanort Saga ends, so will the time travel 1 Master Juan reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Xeahnort initiated a closed temporal loop which means that the same thing will happen again and again in the time stream unless a third party from an alternate dimension comes and breaks it up. Then we'd have a whole slew of BS to sort through. 2 Handsome_the_Wise and HarLea Quinn reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KingdomHearts3 2,591 Posted February 5, 2013 I think you may have just guessed the plot of KH3 That is a possible plot. It might be the plot to KH3, but I would not stand firm to this proposition seeing as how unexpected Nomura can be and usually is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PikachukeybladeMaster 40 Posted February 5, 2013 That would have to be one long game... Possibly multiple disks... I'm OK with that. 1 Roxas Seeking Light reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HelpMeRan-Sama 141 Posted February 5, 2013 To be honest I'd like to see a timeline where MX didn not time travel. Maybe we get to see him die in some way hahaha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoxSox 3,593 Posted February 6, 2013 I stand by this: Nothing has been retconned. Another dimension of understanding has been added... Ansem was a time traveller? Well hey, they never said he wasn't. Nobodies can have hearts? Well, it's made pretty clear that the characters were being lied to, meaning we, the fandom, were being lied to as well. Nothing in the story has been eliminated. A retcon is where part of a story point becomes a "That never actually happened!" thing. Thats not the case here. What is the case is that the story is being expanded upon, and that our perception of events is changing. If you don't like that, then don't call "retcon!", simply stop playing the games. And I just realized my post has nothing to do with the question presented by the OP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xaldin III 80 Posted February 13, 2013 How could Xehanort's Heartless even learn to time travel in the first place to teach YMX? Maybe he learned somehow from Ansem the Wise's teachings? Or maybe Luxord is to blame, and possibly is another Dark Vessel, since in KHII he was the only Org. XIII member you fight at TCTNW who isn't known to be one (Xemnas, Xigbar, and Saix). Arrgh, but he doesn't have those yellow eyes... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deathrebirthsenshi 279 Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) To be honest I'd like to see a timeline where MX didn not time travel. Maybe we get to see him die in some way hahaha I don't think time-traveling changed much exactly...that was sort of the good thing about it; he brought his selves from the past to the present, but (thank goodness) he doesn't have the power to actually change the past. Present and future are always under your control; there is no "destiny", only the fate you make for yourself. Xehanort just happens to be good at planning ahead... Though tbh the heroes often behave predictably. Edited February 18, 2013 by deathrebirthsenshi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ptolema 404 Posted February 19, 2013 I thought that when you time traveled you could not change events of the past. It's all meant to be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
