    The "time travel" isn't actually time travel

    Posted: 05 Jan 2021 04:56 PM PST

    I've been having these weird thoughts lately, and as the title suggests, I've begun to suspect that the "time travel" in Kingdom Hearts isn't really time travel at all. At least, not the way we traditionally think of it.

    So in Dream Drop Distance, Young Xehanort explained to Riku how "time travel" works in the KH universe, with this speech:
    "There are restrictions to movement through time. First, you must leave your body behind to do it. Then, there must be a version of you waiting at the destination. Upon arrival, you can only move forward as per the laws of time. And you cannot rewrite the events that are destined to happen."

    So the "Rules of Time Travel" can be broken down into the following four rules:

    Rule 1: You must leave your body behind
    (First, you must leave your body behind to do it.)
    Rule 2: There must be a past or future version of yourself at your desired destination
    (Then, there must be a version of you waiting at the destination.)
    Rule 3: After making a jump through time, normal flow of time resumes at your destination
    (Upon arrival, you can only move forward as per the laws of time.)
    Rule 4: You can't change events that are destined to happen
    (And you cannot rewrite the events that are destined to happen.)

    Now at first glance, these seem like some pretty damn bizarre time travel rules, right? For rule 1 for instance, I don't think I've ever seen any time travel stories that required leaving your body behind. In pretty much all "traditional" time travel stories, you take your body with you. And rule 2 has an interesting implication: if there must be a past or future version of yourself at the time you travel to, then that means you only have a pretty limited window of times you can travel to. You can't travel to a point in the past before your birth, because there would be no past version of yourself there. And you can't travel to a point in the future after your death, because there would be no future version of yourself there. So you can only travel to points in time that are within your own life span.

    Now let's talk about the Toy Story world in KH3 for a minute. This is where we're first introduced to Yozora, where we're told that he's a video game character. Yet he then turns up at the end of Re:Mind, apparently as real as Sora is. Then there's the whole weird bit where Sora and co. are repeatedly referred to as being video game figures/ video game characters while in the Toy Story world.

    Xehanort: Haven't you heard? In this world, you come from a video game.

    So let's say Sora actually is from a video game. Is there a way you can "time travel" in a video game? Not even KH necessarily, just any video game in general. Like if you progress to a point in a game, and you start to regret some of your choices, can you "go back in time" and redo your decisions? Well, you can if you have multiple save files. You can simply load an earlier save file and replay the game from that point and redo any decisions you want.

    So let's say you're playing KH1. In one save file, you have a level 20 Sora in Agrabah, and in another save file, you have a level 40 Sora in Neverland. If you load one file, mess around a bit, then load the other file and start playing that one instead, would that sort of seem like "time travel" to Sora? Going from being level 40 to suddenly being level 20 again "in the past", or going from level 20 to suddenly being level 40 "in the future"?

    Because the more I thought about it, when Xehanort was explaining the rules of "time travel", it actually sounds like he's literally just describing how loading different save files works.

    Rule 1: You must leave your body behind
    Translation: When you load a different save file, you can't bring your current version of your character with you, you can only use the version of the character you had when you saved that file. Using my earlier example, if you decide to reload your Level 20 Agrabah Sora file, you can't take your level 40 Sora with you. Unlike in more "traditional" time travel plots where it's generally possible for a past and future version of a person to meet, you can't do that with different versions of your character in a game. Your level 20 and level 40 Soras can't exist in the same save file.

    Rule 2: There must be a past or future version of yourself at your desired destination
    Translation: You can only load save files for places your character has been to. You can't jump into a world you never went to, and you can't skip past a point that you haven't cleared yet in any of your save files. For example, if I decided to skip over Wonderland during my playthrough or something, I'm not going to be able to load back to a save point in Wonderland.

    Rule 3: After making a jump through time, normal flow of time resumes at your destination
    Translation: After you load a save file, you resume playing the game normally from that point. You can't skip over levels or bosses just because you may have cleared them already in another save file. If I load my level 20 Agrabah Sora, I can't just skip over Halloween Town, Monstro, and Atlantica just because I cleared those levels in another file.

    Rule 4: You can't change events that are destined to happen
    Translation: You can reload save files as much as you want, but you can never actually change the story. No matter how much you redo boss fights or the levels or the order you do the levels in, the cutscenes will stay the same. It'd be like, say, if you're playing Birth By Sleep, and you get to the part in Terra's story where Eraqus gets killed. You can reload to an earlier save file, you can redo the boss fight or anything else as much as you want. But you can't change what happens to Eraqus.

    ​

    So basically, Kingdom Hearts might actually canonically be a video game, in-universe. (Maybe that's what the whole "I've been having these weird thoughts lately. Like is any of this for real, or not?" is about?) And when Sora and Xehanort are "time travelling" what they're actually doing is basically just save scumming and loading different save files. Which could be perceived as "time travel". I mean, the way the Guardians of Light get killed, then "go back in time" and try again, isn't that basically what we do when we lose to a boss? We load a previous save and try again?

    Posted: 05 Jan 2021 05:10 PM PST

    About to play Kingdom Hearts 2 for the first time. I’m pretty excited!

    Posted: 05 Jan 2021 07:15 PM PST

    I played KH1 as a kid on PS2, but then switched to Xbox and never played any of the rest. Well I got game pass recently and saw all of the KH games were on it so I decided to dive on in.

    I have just beaten KH1, CoM, and 358/2 and am really excited to start KH2! The storyline is pretty awesome so far and I can see why it has such a huge following.

    Oh don't mind me, I'm just a nobody.

    Late to the party, but I got MoM yesterday and I’ve been having a blast!

    Posted: 05 Jan 2021 07:02 PM PST

    So as the title says I just got my hands on a Switch copy yesterday!

    Money has been tight and I had to prioritize over the last month and a half. Basically didn't find it financially wise to drop $60 on a game I wasn't honestly SUPER excited about.

    Was able to pick it up for just over $30 (knew it would drop a bit after release, which was another of the reasons I was okay waiting) and boy was I wrong about not being excited.

    I'm nearly finished with the KH II portion of the game and I've been having an absolute blast. I don't really know what the fan base reception has been for this game, I avoided this subreddit like the plague since it came out, and I'm curious if you guys have been having fun with this game too?

    Would love to discuss, spoiler free obviously because I'm not done, but lmk what you guys think of this game!
