** Aside from the {{Superboss}} with its obscene amounts of HP and defence (took this troper half an hour of constant battling with all four of his characters that are normally capable of dealing over 9999 damage each attack now only doing 5.4k or so), it doesn't really matter as if you're hitting over 9999, there isn't much point in strategy.

** It was kind of a gift and a test. I believe Doga said that it's not how long you live, but what you do with the time you have. Now consider that Xande ''froze time for himself'' to keep himself from dying. He was willing to stay stopped for eternity in order to be immortal. I think it's safe to say he failed that test.
** While I haven't seen any details in the story to confirm it, it's entirely possible that Xande was a bit of a {{Jerkass}} to begin with. Might've been a dumb idea to give him the "[[BlessedWithSuck gift]]" of mortality, it'd make sense as an example of KickTheSonOfABitch.

Surprisingly, I found an official answer for this.

** According to an interview [[AllThereInTheManual in the official strategy guide]] it was to balance the number of jobs: Due to Geomancer getting moved forward, the Water Crystal gives two mage jobs compared to what would be 4 physical jobs. And since Dragoon and Dark Knight can't be moved due to the nature of dungeons at that point in the game that left Viking and Black Belt.

** Perhaps it was a way of giving Xande freedom? Think about Doga and Unei's respective situations: Doga is holed up in a manor, with a village full of mages that presumably study magic (at the very least, it's said that the magic they sell was recovered and restored by Doga) nearby and having done things like creating a crystal that produces gold. Unei has mastery over the dream world, but also calls herself its guardian and is in such a deep sleep that the Warriors of Light had to get a lute to wake her up. Then you have Doga and Unei's talk about making the most of life and how they believe Xande got the best gift. [[WildMassGuessing Maybe Doga and Unei's 'gifts' had duties, implied or otherwise, to go with them while Xande's 'gift' either had no strings attached or his 'duty' was to do whatever he wished with the time he had left]]?

** There's some [[DummiedOut unused dialogue]] where Desch and Doga draw attention to how the sun used to revolve around the earth and now it's the other way around. III's world seems to have some weird relationship between the world and the sun, which might explain it.

** Possibly they were already in the air when time was frozen, and therefore were at the very ''edge'' of the time freeze. This meant that time continued to pass for them, but very slowly at first, until they finally emerged from the time stop completely (and immediately crashed because from their perspective the floating continent appeared in front of them out of nowhere.)

The Onion Knight characters are more "Nostalgic" in Japan which I think was the point, as Nostalgia and Fanservice were really the only two reasons Dissidia was made. Even if that was only meant for Dissidia, they were pretty much forced to carry Onion Knight over to Theatrhythm being TheArtifact. Though that doesn't excuse Luneth, Arc, Refia and Ingus being absent in Curtain Call, especially since they have two separate Tifas and Yunas.

Adding my opinion to one of the theories
Added DiffLines:
***What I think it was that Cid and the children did get caught in the time freeze, but the crystals guided them to the floating continent when the time was right. Because Unei's spirit was in the dream world, she was still aware of the passing of time. If she said time was stopped for 1000 years, it probably was.

** Dissidia seems to waffle on whether the characters are actually pulled from their timeline or are just sort of AU versions. But either way, it's also implied that there are at least several different copies of any given world. In one world, the Onion Knight and his companions did the work; in another, it was Luneth et al.

* So this is taken from the AdaptationDisplacement entry. The [=DS=] remake gives the Onion Knights set identities, and these identities are official canon as the people who saved the world. But in ''Dissidia'', the hero is the Onion Knight, who is definitely not Luneth, Arc, Refia, or Ingus--you can make him look like Luneth or Ingus, but it's purely cosmetic. And Dissidia... is also official? It seems like ContinuitySnarl to me; is one more official than the other or what? Or is Dissidia set in some kind of AU universe?
