Basically this. Apprentice Xehanort (seemingly not yet a Heartless, since he talks about becoming one in the next report) thought the princesses of heart might have a connection to the Keyblade wielders, so he chucked her into space in the hopes that she would lead him to the Keyblade heroes...

The story of DDD is far too convoluted for anyone to reasonably follow without extensively researching and discussing the series online. This isn't helped by how much the game doesn't explain and how frequently it seemingly contradicts itself. I'm a huge fan of the KH series, and have never...

I would advise you to tell your cousin about her not-boyfriend's actions if she ever considers dating him again, if for no other reason than the fact that you're probably not the only person he's done this too. You did nothing wrong, and as long as you explain it well she should understand...

Xaldin, no question. I still honestly have no idea how you're supposed to go about winning that fight. I can never make the jump command work right. Mickey saved me a million times there. It was the only time I ever used him. Xigbar was up there, just for his screen-filling laser barrage...

Yes, that is exactly right. There were quite a lot of dreams within dreams.

Yes, Lap, the old Xehanort forms cannot be destroyed in the post-DDD present. Time is immovable, as Young Xehanort tells Sora. Only I doubt that YMX, Ansem, and Xemnas disappear into their correct times when they are defeated, I believe that they cannot be defeated. If they were defeated in...

In DDD Young Xehanort makes it very clear that he did come up with all his plans by himself, without MX coming back to tell him things. However, you're right, there's no way he could have come up with the plans without outside help, which Sora, Yen Sid, and Mickey all agreed on. All of...

I don't believe that the comment you're quoting is correct. YMX's point about Ansem possessing Riku was supposed to explain how they knew everything in advance; Sephiroth0812 is saying the opposite. My understanding of the Riku comment is that Ansem experienced the ending of KH1 through KH2...

In neither of those instances does it say that the future has not been determined, just that it is beyond Xehanort's sight. Even if the timeline is completely predetermined this would be true, since Xehanort only has memories of what happens up until DDD. I always took this as proof that...

This is why I really didn't like DDD's story. There were far too many retcons and leaps of faith Nomura expected us to make. The way I imagined it, Xehanort gave up his body, and when he became a Heartless he sort of lost some of his initial plan. Since he was linked to all the Heartless, he...

I'm not completely opposed to meta-time, I just don't think a changeable future is possible, since it requires a changeable past and thus opens up opportunities for paradoxes (and DDD basically confirmed that the past is set). I also don't really see the need for a present block...

Very good explanation. I don't think I'll ever quite understand how Sora and Riku were dreaming in the realm of sleep, and where on earth (or not earth?) their physical bodies actually were, but you've summed up a lot of good info here. The one thing I would dispute is the malleable future...

The way I understood it, the future and present are no different than the past. Time is pretty much stated to be constant all around. The future is always established, even 'before' it happens. Xehanort straight up states that everything from BbS to DDD was all set in stone thanks to YMX...

YMX basically says to Sora that Riku being possessed by Ansem was how Xehanort knew everything that would happen in KH1 ahead of time. Him trying to kill himself would not really explain this. Somehow Riku's experiences were being sent back in time to earlier Xehanorts. The only way I can...

Yeah, I'm with you on being just okay with DDD, though for different reasons. The gameplay was definitely fun and unique. Slightly less interesting than BbS to me, but it was very different, so that's totally subjective. Flowmotion was super awesome, even if it could get a bit annoying in...
