Don't get me wrong, I love the extra content, and I love that I won't have to buy the games again, but all of this content should be in the base game by now.

Personally, I'm still massively unsatisfied with the execution of KH3 and the conclusion of the Xehanort Saga. I just feel they didn't squeeze the most potential out of what was on the table. Some characters with powerful arcs, got way too sidelined.

In KH2 you missed that the 2.5 version added christmas costumes in halloween town. Kh2fm ps2 only added the new music.

Without any context, "Follow the darkness. It'll show you the way to your friends" sounds like something a Sith Lord would say!

Oh, you even mentioned the music change on Chernabog. This is a very thorough video.

it always bothered me how many people complained about kh3's vanilla content, as if it wasn't perfectly comparable to what KH1/KH2/BBS had at launch. hopefully more people are aware of this so that kh4 doesn't get hit with the same insane expectations.

This is actually cool! Keep up the work

I feel bad for her ngl, she was just trying to protect her friends and all she gets as an award is losing the people she loves and getting trapped in darkness😢

The best thing that was added to KH2 was the Cavern of Remembrance. That music by itself is the best it the whole game. Such a peaceful tune and the area you go in, is amazing.

It angers me that Sora dodged all the credits points

Ngl, young xehanort is just a professional hater

My man.... thank you for this video, Kingdom Hearts has been always part of my childhood - of my life; I can't imagine a world where I didn't have it - this video made me feel just like when I play the game whether it be for the first time or the 7th time whether it be Kh2 or Kh3 or Kh DDD - I am inspired and moved deeply. Your videos, both of them did justice to KH3 but this one hit it out the park - no, the atmosphere for me - amazing video. Keep up the GOATED work, I felt like I was destined to find this video, and I'm glad I did.

You derserve 10x all ur stats bro very well made video!!

Great stuff. I kind of miss the days when RPGs would get their new content all at once in a Final Mix-style update, compared to the gradual dripfeed of new content through post-launch patches. It was worse for the consumer since you'd have to buy a whole new version of the game for full price, but it felt more monumental than adding a small amount of new stuff/changes 10-15 times.

Also other changes you missed for the HD 2.5 ReMIX version of Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix compared to the OG version is that the Absent Silhouettes and their data battles in the English version are now using voice clips from their English voice actors sourced from Re:Chain of Memories and 358/2 Days and also Roxas's voice clips now have his voice clips sourced from 358/2 Days and (for some odd reason) Ventus's voice clips from Birth by Sleep but still good stuff just wanted to add on a few things

When comparing the original and HD versions of these soundtracks, I don't hear much of a difference.

And yet. Melody of Memory couldn’t have dlc tracks :(

I've actually beaten The Phantom on International KH1 Vanilla, so seeing it brought over on PS2 in America for the 1st time was AWESOME, my dude. X3 You are correct ablut THAT. ;3 Also, Technically wrong about Goofy's Weapons... Donald's & Sora's were the only 2 who got weapons added in KH1FM. Goofy's Shields were obtainable using 7 Elementsl Masteries from the White Mushroom Heartless, & Bumpershield since Behemoth Heartless were able to be Encountered again if you restart the visit to The Final World, & have Lucky Strike to get more prizes from The Behemoth after beating him. If you still couldn't find it, it was in an out-of-the-way treasure chest you'd have to find yourself which randomly replaces one of the The Final World's Items in one of the many chests ingame as well, possibly screwing yourself out of The Ultima Weapon or a synthesis material for another item as well. However, anti-frustration features were added in later copies to avoid lockouts of The Ultima Weapon as well, since early versions were bugged with this in mind to stop players from getting early as well. Players complained, and they answered their calls, recalling all previous versions...or if some got keot for sentimental reasons as well. That's why some copies are collectable as well!...

Ahhh man that one ansem/riku scene ! And to think i did not know how ap abilities worked back then. This is a great video btw , it reminds me of so many things i forgot over the years comparing the og !

10:07 anger and hate are supreme

I think something you may have missed was along with the new cutscene added to the 358/2 days movie, they added a theater mode to Kh1 on the ps4 version in the same update. Up until then, kh1 was the only game that lacked a theater mode

I really wish they would have made a 2.5 remix Strategy guide, as well as a 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue guide and a English KH3 Guide, but oh well I guess

Videos like this are my jam. Subscribed :)

Sincery i want the japonise version because of that diference but i know i would not undestand nothing at all 32:11

31:37 so they made more of ice cream beat in the internation version? Why? Do they want to torment us?

30:28 serious how do you guys of the past deal with that? And all the other new content after so many years? I would be nuts if i find out my version was not the definivity version

This is a really solid recap. There were definitely a couple things I didn’t realize had gone completely over my head before, such as Night in the Bald Mountain not being present in the initial copy of KH. I was wondering if you'd touch on Union X being pulled from stores, since that lies in a weird inbetween state of relevance to this video. It makes sense that it was ultimately outside the scope of what this video was trying to discuss though. In either case, this was a very enjoyable, high-quality viewing experience. As always, I appreciate all the time and effort you’ve put into this endeavor, and I'm as excited as ever for wherever this channel's future leads!

I wonder what Post Release Content Kingdom Hearts 4 will have

Wow. They made Lea getting injured by Xemnas so much worse in the update. It didn't look as painful pre-update, but post-update, they made sure to make it look as painful as possible.

Who puts the days before month?

United we stand Hand in Hand Kingdom Hearts fans 🤝🗝💖

I was there back in the day. US was locked out of Final Mix content for so long. (To be fair the North American version of Kingdom Hearts had Sephiroth and Kurt Zisa while Japan didn't.)

That intro was *official* level quality. Well done! 😮

One big change you missed for Dream Drop HD, the enemy stagger was greatly overhauled and improved so it actually has an effect, whereas on 3DS enemies and most bosses never really reacted to your hits so it lead to alot of unfair deaths on critical mode as you traded blows with an overly stacked enemy. It seems like a small thing but it just makes the newer version's combat feel so much smoother.

this video is how i learned that union cross reached end-of-service ._."

50:14 bc of this smile, people started to shipping Namine and Riku, but in the update version they "fixed" by removing it, till this day I don't understand this change, a smile doesn't mean anything aside of just greeting a beloved friend of yours but anyways...

Some of the smaller changes made in these updates are really underrated (Especially the addition of the Bald Mountain song) but a few of them feel a bid odd. I think the most unnecessary one is the change in the sky after the forging of the X-blade in KH3. I feel like darkness raining down from the sky fit much better for the upcoming apocalypse.

Yo you Maltese too? Your accent sounds very Maltese.

This is a very well made video! Thank you, and may you attract a lot of KH fans here :)

nice video :3333

really good video. even as a fan from the OG PS2 versions, i learnt some new things and additions which was interesting.

final we has some one talk about kh1 og and kh1fm og with 1.5 HD

Dude! This video was so so so awesome! I love watching these kinda videos about version differences and dlc content! Even learn new things like the cutscene with evil queen in the original BBS. It's sad that the Union X DarkRoad app was delisted from all app stores :( Luckily I can always re-download from my library. But I guess new fans can always watch the cutscenes on KZbin especially the videos by Damo. I'm not sure but I read it somewhere that in KH1 HD Final Mix, they add the Mickey symbol to the journal section to tell the player it's 100% complete. I'm not sure if that was on the original PS2 final mix.

Taaaay Titan’s new video:3 🏳️‍⚧️

As a fan who has been enjoying these games to the fullest extent that a US fan can since the beginning, I greatly appreciate you covering this and all the work that surely went into it.

your music credits throughout the video are SO impressive!! So stylish-- I loved looking out for those :))

We are so back 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
