:::*The issue I have with that is that there's no reference point other than "the start of X game." If we want to use dates at all we need to decide on an event to use as a reference point and get a system going. We could use that for the headers too, if we wanted. Instead of "Era 1" or "That day when Sora takes a nap and Riku throws a log at him," for the header, we could have "14 years since Sora's birth" or "9 years after Kairi's arrival on Destiny Islands." We could alternatively come up with a year system like, as an example, BA (Before Awakening) and AA (After Awakening) and measure events from the start of KH1 like that. | :::*The issue I have with that is that there's no reference point other than "the start of X game."

:::*I guess I just take issue with the idea of giving some of the events valid "this many days exactly" dates while giving most of the non-prologue stuff "kind of this many days ish" dates. It's unavoidable, I know, but I loves me some consistency. (My opinion is still that since the games don't bother with specific dates we shouldn't either, but I'm a vocal minority in that department, I think.)

This is the first time I've done anything to help on this site, so please tell me if I'm doing something wrong. So I was looking for something related to Kingdom Hearts (I can't remember what anymore) and I came across the new portal for the Kingdom Hearts page in Japan. So I was thinking, what if we modeled the timeline article based on that. The new portal has a chronology section. I think all we need to do is translate and use that for the timeline here. I couldn't find the North America portal, so I don't think there is an official translation. The site is here: [http://http://www.square-enix.co.jp/kingdom/chronology/index.html KINGDOM HEARTS| KINGDOM HEARTS PORTAL SITE| SQUARE ENIX] Any thoughts? | |||
