I’ve been thinking about the recent events of [Chi]/Union X/whatever a lot over the past few days. I don’t know how I feel about the newest reveal, but right now they can be summed up as “It’s interesting, but I don’t care enough to be happy or upsetâ€
In general, I’m not entirely please with what Nomura is doing with this game, but like with other questionable decisions he made… I want to try and piece things together even if they don’t go together. For my own sanity.
As I mentioned previously, even WAY back when I wrote on the theory about Ventus being a Dandelion, I don’t think time travel is going on here. Not the kind of time travel Xehanort was using. I believe another catastrophic event is going to basically send everyone whirling through time unintentionally or maybe intentionally for a few.
I thinking (and hoping) although Ven and Marly might be from the distant past, their past selves aren't going to play a major plot breaking role. I don't think they will have any real knowledge that will affect the future other than knowing what happened in the past.
Imagine this, the great calamity happens and the 5 union leaders are thrust into different points in time with little to no memory of who they were or where they came. Nothing they knew or experienced affected the plot of KH that we know so far (BbS - DDD). They just happened to set a lot of stuff in motion that resulted in them ending up in the future. So even if one of them, Marly, were trying to cause havoc or purposely travel to the future, even he wouldn't have made the transition from past to present properly and he too would have lost himself.
The 'time travel' could simply them being dragged into and then spit out of the dream realm. This how I originally theorized Ven ended up in the future give [Chi]/Union X has a lot to do with the "Unchained" and sleeping.
If it's like this where the past had no real effect on the future even if they are the same characters, I think I would be ok with that. As long as Nomura isn't trying to imply Marly had this all planned out for centuries and was still working toward that goal in the BbS-DDD timeline. I would prefer if Marly got wrecked and ended up just as amnesiatic as Ven Ven and didn't plan jack.
Thoughts?
