Editing Time travel (section)

==={{DQ11}}===
{{spoiler|start}}
Time travel is used to access this game's post-story content. After defeating [[Mordegon]] and holding a memorial service for {{Veronica 11}}, who sacrificed herself to mitigate the destruction caused by the death of [[Yggdrasil]], the party can visit the [[Tower of Lost Time]] in the [[Lost Land]], using the [[Wheel of Time]] to open the door to the tower. There they meet the [[Timekeeper]], a [[Tockle]] who watches over the flow of time in the tower. She shows them [[Time's Sphere]], the crystallization of all that has taken place in [[Erdrea]], and informs the party that the only way to restore {{Veronica 11}} is to turn back time to before she died; however, only one person can go, one with the power of the {{Luminary}}, and he may never return to the present time. Using the [[Sword of Light]], the {{Luminary}} strikes Time's Sphere, transporting him to [[Arboria]] before Yggdrasil's death. He then uses the [[Sword of Shadows]] -- obtained from defeating Mordegon in the future -- to kill [[Jasper]] at the [[Heart of Yggdrasil]], as it breaks through his previously impervious barrier. The party later defeats [[Mordegon]] again, freeing [[King Carnelian]]. The heroes then go on a quest to obtain the strength needed to destroy the ultimate impending evil known as [[Calasmos]], residing in [[Erdwin's Lantern]].

Although this time travel undoes the devastation experienced in the normal timeline, it also undoes many of the Hero's feats, such as how [[Mia]] and [[Ryu]] are back to their cursed forms. As such, several side-quests open up in all previously visited locations, and the party can return to these characters to peacefully restore them to their normal selves again and avoid much of the strife found in the terrible future. Furthermore, this instance of time travel is not the creation of a new timeline as seen so often in other media, at least not in the traditional sense: it is in fact a transmigration of all souls of Erdrea into a new universe through the power of the Luminary and the Time's Sphere. This is evidenced by Veronica suddenly bursting into tears and feeling immense gratitude for her friends once the time of what would have been her death comes to pass, and other characters such as [[Kai]] and [[Michelle]] recalling glimpses of their bad future and sticking together this time around.

Eventually, the {{Luminary}} and his party defeat [[Calasmos]] and restore the Timekeeper to her true self, [[Serenica]], and send her back in time to reunite with [[Erdwin]].
