Well, that explains the discrepancy with the Numbers in regard to Demyx's position and Vexen's. Were Ansem and Xemnas 2 and 3 in DDD? I thought it was the reverse.

Interesting. Thank you for the translations. Several of my questions were answered in the interview, but his answers also bring up more.
So this basically disproves Young Xehanort's assertion in KH3D that "you cannot change the events that are destined to happen" (which I still assume he meant the future)?
And this would disprove Young Xehanort's other claim "you can only move forward as per the laws of time" which I interpret as that one can only travel to the future and not the past. Are these events outside of time travel? Was Young Xehanort wrong in these statements? Am I wrong? Is this a contradiction? Will it be retconned? Was introducing time travel into this series a mistake?
Spoiler ShowI mean YX wasn't wrong necessarily. Sora abused a power to extensively overwrite reality to the point time was like "okay all you are supposed to be dead so let's take it from the top" and it tried to course correct itself. But it couldn't because changes had already been put into place by others. Namine had already reached out LW so he helped prevent the lights from being bodied and shaken allowing them to keep composure and then the MoM's plan for the dandelions kicked in prevent light from expiring by giving them the power to overcome that dark tornado of heartless. Essentially not just Sora but everyone working together including a man who saw the future in the first place is what created a new reality that offshoots from the same point. It's just Sora is the one who paid the price...and maybe Ava but that's for another time.
A 0.2 sized DLC Episode would be great! I really enjoyed the length of 0.2 and it works really well as an Episode Aqua as an introduction of KH3.I'm down to have anything that could introduce us to Adult Master Xehanort and Adult Eraqus. I say that they release the proposed game as a 0.2 Birth by Sleep entry, as part of the Kingdom Hearts III DLC.

As for his other statement we've known that was false with UX's updates months ago. "Darkness" reveals to Maleficent there is one way to travel forward in time and we are still waiting for things to playout. It's more like the regular methods of time travel can't be used to move forward.
We all know that on a Xehanort game will be introduced a new girl character never mentioned before and her death will be catalytic for his evil .

Hold on, wasn't it already established by DDD that you can move forward in time when you moved backwards in the first place, to reach your original starting point again? Sora and Riku do this and so does Maleficent. It's just that you can't change direction again, or something like that.
Hi, I was wondering if someone could clarify one of these translations for me. This one: "*T/N: Literally, "the person you miss/want to see the most will come get you."" Before the Ultimania came out, I saw that the translations of the Japanese line floating around the internet were all "the person who wants to see YOU/misses YOU the most." This makes more sense to me because it immediately follows Sora listing all of the people who want to see her (Kairi, Mickey, Roxas, etc).
Was this line from the game different from the one in the Ultimania (which implies it's Namine who wants to see someone)? Or were the translations of that Final World cutscene just wrong? Or--is it possible the quote could be taken either way, or mutually?
I think this is the line from the game ---> "番会ã„ãŸã„人ãŒè¿Žãˆã«ã„ãよ"
That sentence by itself could go either way since it has no subject/pronoun, but the complete sentence Nomura provides in his answer (ナミãƒãŒä¸€ç•ªä¼šã„ãŸã„人) puts Namine as the subject, so I felt it meant someone SHE wants to meet (as in this example sentence: 今ã€ã‚ãªãŸãŒä¸€ç•ªä¼šã„ãŸã„人ã¯ã€èª°ã§ã™ã‹ï¼Ÿ Who is the person you miss the most right now?). I felt like maybe it was Sora giving another way to rebuff what she said: not only was it not true that nobody missed her, but ALSO she is allowed to miss people herself, her feelings are important too! BUUUUT on second thought, perhaps it could still mean it the other way around. I think perhaps that's why the localisation is so different - the phrase is pretty vague, perhaps they wanted to keep that vagueness too.
Edit: Nah... the more I think about it, the more I think I'm right. If it were about whoever wants to meet her, I think the particle would be ã« (eg. ç§ã¯å½¼ã«ä¼šã„ãŸã„, I want to meet him)
Was introducing time travel into this series a mistake?
In the same vein we don't need a Xehanort game, just a Xehanort segment in KH3. I would much rather have this than a Xion DLC. Honestly the easiest explanation Nomura could have come up with for Xion's return is to have just had it explained that while Sora was held hostage by Organization XIII in KH3D they extracted Xion from him and then restored her in a new replica body by the the heroes get to the Keyblade Graveyard. Have the Xehanort backstory be the paid DLC instead.
It was absolutely a mistake. A
It absolutely was. Especially to put in in a game that already introduced a way to revive characters without using time travel. If Nomura really wanted all these characters back, he could've just claimed everyone's heartless and nobody had been bashed, so they are back in the present timeline. For some, he had already planted Nort seeds which could've been carried over into the revived body and for the unnorted ones he could've just claimed they were still weakened and thus easily overtaken. I really don't see why it had to be time travel and "destiny etched in my heart, yadda yadda". This would also make Young Xehanort obsolete whose purpose was basically to make MX look like a long-time planner (which he still would've been) and to introduce a concept that made a great deal of the fandom feel lost.
Technically, YMX's comments are about the limits of using time travel. What Sora did was completely abuse an entirely different power to the point that it broke reality. Idk, I think some people take YMX's comments to mean "destined events can never, ever, be changed" but he was technically talking specifically about the method of time travel used by him and the Organization (and specifically, the context of traveling to the past). Sora didn't use that method of time travel.So this basically disproves Young Xehanort's assertion in KH3D that "you cannot change the events that are destined to happen" (which I still assume he meant the future)?
You interpreted that statement incorrectly. Clearly people can travel to the past otherwise the entire story wouldn't make sense since Ansem travels to the past to tell YMX to do all of this stuff. What Young Xehanort's comment is saying is that if you travel to the past, upon arrival, you can only move forward through time naturally. That is to say, one cannot travel to the past and then immediately travel forward. If you travel to the past, you have to live out the time you traveled. This is further confirmed by Dark Riku in BH6 when he explains that once Ansem had told YMX the plans, he lived out the 60-some years he had traveled back.And this would disprove Young Xehanort's other claim "you can only move forward as per the laws of time" which I interpret as that one can only travel to the future and not the past.
Okay. Thanks!You don’t have to spoiler guard anymore. This is literally a spoiler thread and it’s after March 1st. Our spoiler ban is over.
So Worldline travel could pretty much be interpreted as manipulating the spatial element? I would suggest this is space-time traveling, but the fact that you don't know at what point in time you're jumping to means that you aren't necessarily traveling through time.Maleficent's dilemma is that she traveled back in time which means she needs to live out the years, she can't just time travel back to the present using the Xehanort method. What Darkness is saying is that there is another way to get back to the present era, which we can guess means crossing worldlines which allows you to reenter a particular worldline at a different time. It's similar to how in the Realm of Sleep real time does not flow and one can enter it at a certain point in time, and leave it and reenter the Realm of Light at a completely different point in time. This isn't the Xehanort Method of Time Travel, but it's a way to jump chronologies without specifically using time travel.
