After being introduced to KH 3D's 'Time Traveling' it all makes sense...During the time Xehanort was just a heart he went across the lanes of time, seeing and learning much. Which would explain why Xehanort seems to know so much about everything through the many times he hints or reveals to the main characters in the game.Though they were never aware and just going according to what time had in store for them, the heroes have been shown living their lives which Xehanort has already witnessed some of during his travels through time.Like take Sora and Riku, from the time when they first began their journeys to other Worlds after their home had been destroyed by the Darkness.
It sounds like Xehanort was almost aware of everything from that point on, all up to what happened in the end of Sora's story in Dream Drop Distance. It was revealed by the young Xehanort that he knew what would happen during Sora and Riku's mark of mastery exam, and it all went according to how Xehanort planned. But Young Xehanort also made it clear to Sora before he fell into his deep slumber that Xehanort had no knowledge of what would take place after that current time, not knowing for sure if Sora would belong to Xehanort or not in the end.
So it sounds like starting at the time where Sora, Riku and Kairi were all swept away from Destiny Islands, (the first journey,) and all the way up until the conclusion of Sora and Riku's exam in the Dream Worlds has been all about the past part in time, to Xehanort, anyway. And now also to the gamers playing the series.As far as what happened before Kingdom Hearts 1, back as far to Birth By Sleep, I can't say if Xehanort time traveled back that far or not. With Master Xehanort's body being present in that time, it should've been possible for (the Xehanort reduced to just a heart) to go back to in time.
But either way, the game Kingdom Hearts started out with the first game, featuring Sora, Riku and Kairi as the Keyblade wielders and seventh princess of Light. And when you consider that it would obviously make BBS a game of past events.So, this will mean that to begin the story in the actual current time, Kingdom Hearts III will be the first game to feature a story from the present. Which means Xehanort won't have a bunch of foresights on what is going to happen and won't be controlling or using Sora, Riku and co. with any advantages from what knowledge he obtained from time traveling.
KH III will be THE GAME OF THE PRESENT for all the characters of the series... Except for maybe the Foretellers, of course.
Not saying that Xehanort won't be able to still use the main heroes to exploit his big plans from what he knows about a lot of them, even things they're aren't aware of yet themselves, but he won't be years ahead of them like he's been in most of the series. And that makes things a little more fair for the heroes, I think.Still though, it's pretty crazy to think we've all been playing through the past life of Sora and his friends.
Just like when playing through BBS you know this is a game about people before Sora and Riku's story.The story of Sora and Riku ect. we thought was the present time of the game and have been continuing the story along while Sora and his friends are aging after their adventures is just about more PAST EVENTS. Again, considering you are looking at the game through Xehanort's eyes. Although, now even Sora and all of his friends are beginning to realize they've been experiencing TIME that has nearly already all been seen by an old Keyblade Master who chose the SEEKER'S LIFE. At least, I would assume the heroes have realized this by now after the countless times it has been explained to them by Xehanort in KH 3D.
If what we learned about Xehanort and Time Traveling in Dream Drop Distance is true, with everything being exactly like Xehanort said, this means every game in the series has been a bunch of prequels of the KH III, the game based of the actual time line.
I just thought that was a big surprise to find out that we've been playing past stories of the main characters' lives in all the games so far, and thought I'd bring I up after thinking about all of it. Again though, this only makes sense if you put yourself in Xehanort's shoes(even though I would never want to do that!) lol
Anyway, does anyone else have any thoughts on this?
