Considering that time travel will likely be an important plot point in Kingdom Hearts III, it’s important to fully understand how it works in this series. I think I have a pretty good understanding of how it functions, but I thought you guys might fact check me.
1) The present is constantly moving forward.
2) The past contains the events that lead up to the present. The past is destined to always happen the way it originally played out.
3) The future doesn’t exist. One cannot look into the future or know the future because it has yet to be established.
4) In order to begin a time travel session you need to give up your body and be able to remain sentient as a heartless (or entity of the heart. Whatever).
5) Those who were once heartless but have regained their human forms can also time travel.
6) You may give up your ability to time travel and pass it on to another.
7) You may only bring a single copy of a past self into the present.
8) You may only travel to points in time where your past self is present.
9) You may not travel before the point of your birth or beyond the present.
10) You may interact with the past and the people within it, but upon the end of the time travel session all changes are reset. Because of this, the past cannot be manipulated or changed permanently.
11) You may bring people from the past to the present in order to manipulate the present. However, upon the end of the time travel session temporally displaced people will be sent back to the point they came from and have no recollection of what they did.
There are a few aspects of Xehanorts plot in DDD that confuse me and I want to make sure that I have a more complete understanding of how time travel works before I think to deeply about it.
