GamingPandas Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I'm curious about the time travelling thing... So apparently there can be "future children" coming into the game. So what happens when the game ends? Where do these future children go? I mean, if say the MU's child decides to stay... erm... what happens if MU and his wife/her husband have their OWN children in the current timeline... The above is problematic... so do these future children leave this timeline the same way they came into this timeline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 AFAIK, they have to stay in the future, since it was implied that it would be hard to get back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, so the MU will get to meet his daughter from the future...? Ok then what happens to the children that male MU can bear in THIS timeline. Will it be an exact clone copy of "Mark"? That just seems creepy... You know? Knowing your future children? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanfaire Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Well, beating the game doesn't change the future the kids come from. It just makes an alternate future. So things haven't really improved all that much for the kids future and they would need to rebuild after taking out the trash. There's no guarantee that the kids alternate versions will even turn out like them since they wont have to deal with what the alternate future kids had to grow up through.

Momo Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Weren't people saying the kids planned on staying in the past? Their lives sounded over in the future, they might as well stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GamingPandas Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 So... do the future children stay, or do they leave? Because if they stay, it will be really awkward. Really awkward... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanfaire Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Why would it be awkward? The children in the new timeline will not even end up like them because their setting is far different and isn't so doom and gloom. Look at it like siblings.

GamingPandas Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 But wouldn't the future children and the "current children" look exactly the same? They will be literally carbon copies in terms of looks. Identical twins... Isn't that a bit awkward? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sartek Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 They wouldn't I guess, the future children would be like 15 years older compared to the current one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamingPandas Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 They wouldn't I guess, the future children would be like 15 years older compared to the current one. Why wouldn't they? The children will be exactly the same as the children from the future timeline in terms of appearance. This is obviously because the future children has come to this timeline, they are the future, even though you changed the future, you only changed the settings/scenarios but the children themselves are the same. MU's child will look exactly the same as Mark. They may have different personalities, but they will look exactly the same won't they? But anyways, I'm thinking too hard about this, shall we just assume that the children travel back to their timeline via some kinda gate or something and rebuild the world? But if the future children can time travel, this means MU or Krom or anyone else can travel to the future can they not? If so, if the 2nd generation establishes any S rank with any other character, they both can just travel to the future or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sartek Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) Why wouldn't they? If they stay, the future children will coexist with a baby version of themselves, and I don't think they'll suddenly stop aging until the baby version catch up, meaning they'll at least look older, therefore can't look exactly the same.

Ah I see what you mean, they will look the same technically, but due to age differences, they will look different. Got it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not how it works. I'm going to give you a really brief and simplified version of a process in the body called meiosis. Now, each cell in the human body has 23 sets of DNA called chromosomes. Each cell also has 2 of each chromosome in them, meaning 46 chromosomes. In a process called mitosis, which occurs every time a cell duplicates, the chromosomes are duplicated and split up, so each of the cells have and identical set of DNA. Now, there's a process called meiosis. Now, remember how I said there is 2 of each chromosome in each cell? Well, not each copy chromosome is the same. For example, one copy might have code for blue eyes, one might have the code for brown, but both have the coding for eye color. In meiosis. The cells are duplicated, but don't have both sets of chromosomes, only one. So now they have only 23 chromosomes. However, since the chromosomes from each pair varies, each cell will be different genetically. This is what produces sperm and eggs. Now, when the sperm and eggs mix, depending on which pair mix, a different genetic outcome will occur. In other words, any variable in the environment could easily change the genetic outcome of the child. So, no, they will not be the same. That's like saying that (identical twins not withstanding), all sibling have identical DNA, which isn't true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axie Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 So, his point was that the future children wouldn't look the same as the present children, and that prompted you to give him a very patronising biology class to say... the future children wouldn't look the same as the present children? I love this place sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this place sometimes. It seemed more like a clarification than a correction. And he IS right. At any rate, I'm fairly sure that the children characters stay in the present. At the very least, if MU marries one, that one certainly does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I know this, but the OP is talking about the present and future self of the same character (or so it sounds) it rules out anything that would change its genetic package since it would basically be another character.

nocturnal YL Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Other than Lucina's single ending (which is basically "unknown if she stays or goes back"), the chilldren stayed in the one timeline that doesn't suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otherarrow Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Wasn't it mentioned that there was the possibility that they couldn't go back even if they wanted to? Or does that get "corrected" later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike-Mike Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 It's like baby Trunks and Future Trunks. Both can exist at the same time because they're from different timelines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those kids better end up like Future Trunks than where they return to their Alternate Future after taking a class in badassery and completely own the guy that ruined their timeline.
