Hello everyone! I recently finished playing 0.2 BBS, and wow, it was an amazing experience, especially for a demo! I'm not sure if the spoiler policy is still active, so I made sure to note that in the thread title.
Now, the questions I have may have already been answered, yet I could not find clear explanations in the topics from several pages back. So, here goes:
1. I originally had asked about 0.2's placement in the KH timeline. While the game did reveal that most of it is parallel to KH1, does 0.2 take place before or after the Secret Episode? We also know that Aqua would continue to wander during the events of COM and KH2, as well.
I ask this (again) because Aqua and Mickey eventually make their way to what looks a lot like the area in the Secret Episode, called the Depths of Darkness in 0.2. This area then leads to what is left of the Destiny Islands in the ROD. I was under the impression that Aqua had been wandering a VERY long time once the Secret Episode begins, and thought she may have met Mickey AFTER her encounter with good old Red Eyes.
Now, it would seem that 0.2 all takes place BEFORE the Secret Episode, with Aqua once again being transported to the Depths of Darkness after her last battle with the Demon Tide. I know this is a detailed question. I am just trying to make sense of all of this, as so much happened before and during KH1, more than we could have ever known when the series consisted of only KH1 :lol:
2. My other question is, just how long had Aqua already been wandering when she first makes her way to Castle Town (the Dark World), and then sees illusions of Terra and Ventus? Although time flow is totally different in the ROD, it did not take long to get through the three main sections of the Dark World, at least for us players.
So, to sum up what I think is my understanding of the ROD timeline, it goes like this:
Aqua's story in BBS ends
Final Episode begins
Final Episode ends, Aqua enters the ROD
Aqua begins wandering ROD and is saved early on by T and V's Keyblades
Secret Episode begins, wandering and fighting Heartless for a presumably long time
Aqua defeats Red Eyes (Hunter of the Dark)
She continues wandering and sees the Castle of Dreams in the distance
0.2 begins, revealing the existence of the Dark World
Aqua makes her way through the Dark World, "seeing" Terra and Ventus
She meets Mickey and follows him to the Depths of Darkness
Aqua and Mickey find the Kingdom Key D at Destiny Islands just before it is restored to the ROL
Aqua is separated from Mickey and is sent back to the Depths of Darkness while fighting the Demon Tide swarm
She wanders even more for another 1-2 years
She finally meets with Ansem the Wise (towards the end of KH2)
Riku and Mickey better not screw up the rescue attempt - Aqua has been in the ROD long enough! Oh, they should probably save Ansem, too (maybe).
This is the best possible understanding I have of the Aqua/ROD timeline. Thanks to Lealixx, I made some important changes to the summary, so everything should be in the right order now!
