Talk:Kingdom Hearts (series)/Timeline

this is from what i understand to be the correct timeline

the main reason i posted it was so that it can be improved bit by bit to be more accurate

remove it if you want, i dont mind...

i just thought it would be nice to have a timeline of events on this site all in one place

Well, I'm doing my part to clean up this mess. I'll see if I can rewrite some parts so it doesn't get repetitive and incorrectly written. User:JudgmentDay95 18:37 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Doesn't 358/2 days' event happen BEFORE CoM? - Sencilia 09:58, September 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * Per the argument I've put forth at Heartless, I don't believe the Ansem Reports can be taken as absolute truth. Both writers have known reputations for dishonesty. To an extent, a similar matter goes with Jiminy's Journal, as there is ample evidence within the journal that he is explaining the information he has, and that it may not be right. (See the changing articles on Riku/Ansem in KH2 for an example) I would suggest that if we cover any "Pre-game" stuff here, that it is either straight from Nomura or from cutscenes, and that anything that we have to take on a character's say-so is explicitly explained to be unconfirmed.

Separation by Game Really Necessary?
I know that I, for one, came to this page just so I could get a clear idea of how the games all merge together. I mean, I wanted to see what the story itself was, not the individual story of each game. It's a bit confusing, isn't it? It was pretty straightforward until 358/2 Days, which threw the article's order out of whack.

So I suggest that, instead of separating by games, separate events by when they occurred.

That would fix any problems with 358/2 Days technically occurring before and during KH1 and Chain of Memories, right? And it would provide a clear transition between events taking place within the context of different games.

SavageLarxene011 21:04, October 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * Agreed. This page should also have specific day numbers for the events of Days, CoM, and KHII, and should be more detailed time wise in the pre-game (we know that Maleficent took the world of Hollow Bastion 9 years before KH1). Glorious  CHAOS!  21:39, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

Draft
The form of the info on the article was just too riddled with errors to have it up in mainspace. It's too much harm for too little gain. It has been moved here, and it needs to be organized and researched, with times, citations, and Template:Storylink tags.

I would suggest we start with the events of KH1 (using the script and scenes as a reference), and then leave the pre-game type stuff for last - anything which we don't actually see should be amassed as notes from the Ansem Reports, Secret Reports, Jiminy Memo, and any script-claims and then put together. Glorious  CHAOS!  21:50, October 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * Rules
 * 1) Absolutely no events listed that are not specifically mentioned or observed as happening at that point. For example, we have no way of knowing yet that Maleficent wasn't always allied with Oogie Boogie and them, so don't say "At this point, Maleficent allies with the others." If you are not sure in what order it happened, only speak of it as something like "Maleficent meets with the members of her alliance, which she has so far gathered. Any complications arising from this should be ironed out on the talk page before adding those notes to the main article.
 * 2) Anything that is not directly observed within the course of the games needs to have a citation to a character's script, and needs to say "According to x" at the beginning of the note.
 * 3) Don't organize by game. Organize chronologically, though you can have little notes saying "The plot of Kingdom Hearts II begins here" or something.
 * 4) Any observed events should use the storylink template.
 * 5) Any flashbacks should be in their correct area, but should still use the storylink template indicating in which game they were first observed.
 * 6) Absolutely no un-canon info, such as Vcast, the manga(*), or the secret movies. (* Depending on discussion, it is possible we may insert manga-only events once the first draft of this is done)
 * 7) Where possible, dates should be specified. We can pinpoint virtually any event between Sora using the KoPH and awakening in Twilight Town, and we also know general dates for the pre-game section.

Days
Days, at least, is perfectly made for a timeline. Why don't we start by adding the days and events, and we can build the article around that. Glorious  CHAOS!  23:58, January 7, 2010 (UTC)

Because the CoM events happen while Roxas is sleeping, maybe it's possible to squeeze the CoM-Timeline in there too. --ShardofTruth 23:43, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

Out of sheer boredom, i actually did construct a timeline lining up the events of 358 days, and COM rikus and soras stories, it details events that only MUST have occured in chronological order. i can post it if anyone would like. it basically lines everything up the way birth by sleep does it, that is, by character and by time it occurs, so basically its a little easier to eyeball, and it follows all the criteria in the above list. yoshiyuki17 11/17/10
 * Yes, I think we all would like to see this. --ShardofTruth 22:53, November 18, 2010 (UTC)

Update?
Shard has the days ultimania, which details the calendar of the days, including the overlap. -- 11:00, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

Stop that. -- 12:37, 20 July 2011 (EDT)
 * fine....hmpph.
 * All plots in all worlds, using the FM versions as the final canonicity, should be covered, though we might need to compress some of the sidequests with something like "Sora revisits the worlds, preparing for his final battle," -- stuff like Kurt Zisa and the Hades Cup are canon to the storyline, but are pretty much undateable with any kind of precision.192.249.47.165 14:13, 20 July 2011 (EDT)

Deep Jungle Argument: Cannon or Not?
'''CANON. NOT CANNON.''' Please stop giving Kryten fodder. -- 14:34, 20 July 2011 (EDT)
 * Sorry. I'm just trying to help finish a page. No need to be a wuss. Uxie   Lover   1994  15:09, 20 July 2011 (EDT)
 * Deep Jungle is not at all non-canon, and ranking the worlds by "general impact" really doesn't matter. Everything needs to be on the timeline.192.249.47.165 15:19, 20 July 2011 (EDT)
 * It was withdrawn from the cannon following the pulling of the Tarzan franchice prior to 2004. It's not even in the Manga, and some of us agree it's no longer cannon. If we are going to argue on this, let's put it in a seperet forum. Uxie   Lover   1994  15:25, 20 July 2011 (EDT)


 * (Deep Jungle was never a cannon...) 19:33, 20 July 2011 (EDT)
 * Kryten, maybe we better take this seriously. No time for jokes.


 * It was (and will be) only cannon to the first game's story (yes, it's cannon for KH1, but only for KH1), but not the overal cannon. When Jafar mentioned that Sora found a Keyhole in one of the dreams Roxas experianced, the shown Keyhole was in Agrabah. But the only way for Deep Jungle to return is for Disney to pay at least £100 Billion (estimated). (I'm suprised they even let that world's Keyblade be in RE:Coded without a lawsuit happening...) Uxie   Lover   1994  02:17, 21 July 2011 (EDT)

Omitting a cutscene is not the same thing as retconning. Otherwise they would have chose a world about as early as Deep Jungle was. Unless there is an obvious indication that the events at Deep Jungle never happened, it remains canon. -- 03:10, 21 July 2011 (EDT)
 * Uxie:


 * 1) I'll stop picking on it once you take the hint and learn how to spell the word.
 * 2) Canonicity has nothing to do with "license to have the setting reappear in future works".
 * 3) The EWB estate owns the title, the characters specifically from the original work, and probably any setting overtly based on Tarzan. The Jungle King is a completely original thing that SE made, and EWB has no claim on it. It's ludicrous to claim that they could have been sued "£100 Billion" for putting it in Re:coded.
 * 4) As I understand it, SE would still be perfectly able to reference that Sora went to "Deep Jungle", and use broad strokes to summarize what happened there. They just can't depict the actual scenes (as they would be based on copyrighted work) or use EWB-Tarzan-based names. So, there's nothing forbidding it from ever being mentioned again.
 * 5) All quests and sidequests remain canon until explicitly said by SE to be otherwise. Even the Mirage Arena battles are canon -- Nomura's misinterpreted line actually means that he designed the two Master bosses as Replica Data in order to avoid them causing a plot hole. Every time someone says "this obviously isn't canon, it's a side quest", later games prove them wrong, so how about we stay with the reliable view of "if it's published in the games, it's canon until proven otherwise"? 11:00, 21 July 2011 (EDT)
 * I understand. I still think that Deep Jungle is no longer canon (there; I've spelled it correctly). I just wish we can send e-mails to gather infomation on the canon for everything.


 * I also wish there was a way to get that world back. I'd pay about between £20 million - £40 million just to let us mention that world if I owned Disney, y'know. Uxie   Lover   1994  11:10, 21 July 2011 (EDT)


 * EDIT: Dammit, I did it again! Uxie   Lover   1994  11:13, 21 July 2011 (EDT)

Questions
First off, why is this page still incomplete?

Secondly, do we write a gist of the story in point form, do we write a short paragraph for each story, or what? Until and unless I know how this page is going to be structured, this page is going to remain under construction for the rest of the year. Tambours Néant  Ensemble !  11:47, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Either way, we better get this list done soon. There is an example of a timeline list on Bulbapedia for both the games and it's anime. Wikipedia's got many timeline lists that might give us ideas for our own.


 * Kryten also said earlier that we must put everything that happened on it, since even the Mirage Arenas and Deep Jungle are canon (I've spelt it correctly again) at this point (though I still doubt that for the latter). Uxie   Lover   1994  11:58, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

I would agree with Kryten for Deep Jungle — as much as it didn't appear in the rest of the series, the hints in that world are integral to the rest of the story of KH1: Hollow Bastion (the castle), the process of becoming a Heartless (Clayton lost his heart, ASOD discarded his body according to the Ansem Reports), the definition of friends, the second of three tensions between Sora, Donald and Goofy. It's only fitting that after this split comes the major split in Hollow Bastion. If it weren't canon, it'd have the same effect as, say, the Kingdom Hearts manga whereby Vexen creates several dozen replicas of himself, and they kill another OXIII member — that doesn't even happen in-game.

Bulbapedia might help, yes. Please link me to the best of them, and I'll try and see if we can come up with something similar. Tambours Néant  Ensemble !  12:26, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Of course. Here's the games' and here's the anime's. (Please note that the movies in the anime, along with some episdoes, try to make Ash Ketchum and his Pikachu sound as legendary and needed as some of the protagonists in our series). Uxie   Lover   1994  12:48, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Following the game timeline. Gonna see if we can come up with something similar. Tambours Néant  Ensemble !  16:03, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
