I think I actually like the tacked-on feel of Way to Dawn. The thing is clearly supposed to be a recent acquisition for Riku, and I do like how it takes shape in the small addition of the clasp, keychain, and wings. Those were not meant to be a part of this weapon, and it worked in showing Riku's overall mental state; that he's basically a dark spawn at this point, but that he acknowledges that he also has a sliver of light in him to keep him sane. This works doubly well in the fact that the two wings are attached differently: The one at the base of the handle looks like it was artificially attached, along with the keychain it was connected to, and its color is distractingly off from the rest of the weapon, with uses darker, colder colors. This demonstrates the alien nature of the light to Riku, and how he's only now deciding to play nice with it, even if he doesn't think it suits him anymore. The other two wings show Riku's growth in a different way. These are more clearly organic to the weapon, looking like they grew out from it - as opposed to the attached guard wing. The angel wing is clearly growing out from one of the digits in the blade, and the bat wing guard looks like it was supposed to form a second proper blade. Together these almost make this look like Soul Eater was on its way to becoming Ansem's double-bladed weapon from the KH1 final boss fight, but the last-second light addition caused it to mutate. An angel wing is growing off of the blade, the new batwing is stunted, and both now sport a brighter color scheme than the rest of the blade. A bit of an overly-dramatic analysis, but I do like the subtle-seeming touches don to this weapon. It's just enough to make you stop and think about it, but not enough to actually be problematic to look at for too long. And it gets followed up on well in KH3 when he gets a proper Key with Braveheart, which goes for a straight and simple design scheme to show how Riku has finally gotten his act together, and knows completely what he wants out of himself at that point.

might as well do it again kingdom key: it's the kingdom key. i like the greater amount of detailing, and i do really prefer the look of the flat emblem over the round one. i have to agree with what you said about the halloween town filter, and i also quite like the space paranoids look. i really wish there was some post-game thing letting you use world outfits and filters in other worlds. star seeker: i like it. it feels weird that it doesn't have a minor magic boost, just from looking at it, and from it's association with yen sid. hidden dragon: i got some early use out of it, but it really is just "the early magic keyblade", i guess. i have mixed feelings on the appearance, i guess. feels like it should focus either more or less on it's firey dragon aspect, if that makes sense. hero's crest: kinda have to agree with you here. i do really like the halloween town version of it. this one isn't really my kind of keyblade for gameplay, but less so than in kh1. monochrome: gameplay wise, it's better then hidden dragon, though its ability isn't really something i use(i tend to hoard items and never use them). i'm more on the side of liking it, but i can get it being split from looking at it. follow the wind: looking at it, it weirdly doesn't feel like a keyblade; just kinda feels like a normal weapon shaped like a keyblade. otherwise, yeah, kinda bad, disappointing for the world. circle of life: i like the blade and teeth, and i feel like it's colour scheme looks better than jungle king. except the guard face. i see what they were going for with the face, but i'm not sure it hit the mark. i'd say this is one of the ones most improved by the halloween town filter, both with those details and the lessened yellow. oathkeeper: it's oathkeeper. i like the greater detailing and the colours. it has better magic than the blades before, and it's ability is more usable. photon debugger: i like the basic look, but i agree that the colours need abit more consistency, the guard and handle makes me think it looks more like monstros aesthetic than trons. gull wing: not much to say. rumbling rose: another one much better looking in halloween town. those muted colours really should of been its default. i guess i kinda see where some of it was going, but it's mostly just "divine rose 2". also not really my gameplay. i think the 'rumbling' in the name might also be trying to evoke the beast. guardian soul: masamune is said as "mass-ah-moon-ayh". i like its look, but not especially. i like its hit effect symbols and its trail. mysterious abyss: i actually sorta like the guards look, i think the chain might be what's screwing it up, maybe make the pearl red or pink. i agree that the name was wasted, really makes me think more of an ursula based keyblade, which would be cool. wishing lamp: alot of elements just don't feel like they fit. the blue looks less like genies smoe and more like seawater, the bottom corners of the hilt(and, really, the whole concept of the design) feel more like an olympic keyblade, and the teeth almost look bolted on from another, cooler keyblade. sweet memories: it's well put together. i think, when i hear 'disney keyblade', this might one of the first to come to mind. decisive pumpkin: i really like the look of it. the blade is the good kinda silly, along with not really being too silly. it's very tim burton. it's also really useful, though still a shame that halloween town doesn't have a magic focused keyblade. sleeping lion: it's a slick design, and just has a good feel as a keyblade. not much else to really say. bond of flame: i like it. it sort of makes me think of a card suite/checkers theme. i like when designs make the classic 'red, black, grey' pallette work. i feel like the blade is also trying to evoke axels arms holding his chakrams. agree on the trail. two become one: i really like pretty much everything about this weapon. including the ability, i like using antiform and get sad that it's not really, well, useful(it is intended as a punishment, afterall, but still.). oblivion: it's oblivion. i like it's aesthetics in most every way, and i also like that it's not as antithetical to my gameplay as in kh1. fatal crest: i think this one might be targeting me as a person. it's just cool looking in every way, and it's a magic keyblade. fenrir: i've always like the tumbler-styled blade as being unique... as long as that stays a rare exception, atleast. and this does do the look much better than braveheart, and tries to do more than just that. beyond that, though, not much to really say. winner's proof: it definitely knows what it's trying to be, atleast. i wouldn't say i like its design, but i don't really hate it either. it's kinda an endgame extra keyblade through and through. it's also the highest magic of any keyblade. ultima weapon: it's an ultima weapon. i like the base of the blade, though i kinda miss the dream sword. the designs overlaying it look like it's being embraced by wings. it is kinda at the starting point of overdesign, though. edge of ultima and detection saber: ok, these don't really count, but imagine if they were actual keyblades. just, imagine, something giving you a glitchy crystalline mess called 'detection saber'. kingdom key d: it's the kingdom key d. way to the dawn: it's cool. destiny's embrace: it's not bad. i like the abilities, i think some of them might of just not had their abilities well-handled.

Ok so bold yet brave, but I really like the Space Paranoids design on a good amount of the keyblades (imo) don’t get me wrong though, I’m not much of a fan of the world, I really only like the design that comes from the world itself. I like how the dark color makes contrast with the neon blue on the keyblade. Very nice to me.

I love both sleeping lion and fatal crest so much, i kinda got lucky that you liked them because i was dreading watching this for those keyblades alone but omg you share a lot of the same opinions about them which is great. I also used them a lot together as they really work together visually i think, both there normal looks and hit effects. using them together for so many years actually lead me to making up two fan keyblades based on them as well

I feel kh2 Ultima is a bit gaudy. Though a note on Rumbling Rose. A Rumble is a fight, and it's the strongest keyblade you have up to that point, so it's likely to be used 'in a rumble' making it a "rumbling rose", or so has always been my internal logic for it.

Great video! I really like how all the keyblades in the game were "nerfed" stat-wise to accommodate the ability to dual-wield them in various drive forms. Imagine having KH1 Ultima Weapon and Divine Rose? That's a lot of Strength!!

I always assumed the lion design on Circle of Life was meant to represent Mufasa considering he taught Simba about "the circle of life". The design being further up from the token could also symbolize how even after death, he's still watching over his son. For that reason, I really appreciate the design and it's why it's in my top 10 KH2 keyblades

The gullwings keyblade is actually one of my favorites bc of how silly it is 😂 ffx/ffx-2 are my fav in be series and the design is actually a pretty decent homage to the trio. - The chain is inspired by Yuna’s hair braid - The charm is her bf’s symbol - The bows and feathers are worn by Rikku - The spade is a symbol for Paine and she is also a swords master - And the mascot quality bird is very spot on for the game where you do wear a mascot costume and fight in it 😂😂😂 (a few times)

Great vid! I'm loving these keyblade videos they are so interesting to watch. I'm kinda surprised you didnt show the effects for when the keyblades appear in Sora's hand though. Just wondering but are you gonna do one of these for Days since Roxas has a bunch of unique keyblades to him?
@aberrant8143 жыл бұрын
I do think some have already commented this, but in finishers, some hit effects are added there. Some I found like in Circle of Life, there is a ring of leaves in finishers while there is a small explosion of fire in the finishers while using Sleeping Lion referencing Squall's trigger function in his main game. Ultima weapon has that side thunder lighting or whatevers while Fenrir has more light beams present.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this or not, but the Paranoids version of Sleeping Lion is seemingly designed off of Squall/Leon's final weapon from FF8, which was a gunblade with a glowing blue blade.

Don't get why he hates rumbling rose so much. I like the design. The more blocky asthetic works for me, and the fact that the blade represent Beast himself more than the movie is what I like about it Edit: I fucking love Guardian Soul. It's so sick looking with the Oni, the blade itself being an *actual* blade, and the effects on it make it look awesome

Guardian Soul's ability is actually really good in KH2FM since Limit Form uses the Reaction Commands for the Limit prompt, so it boosts the damage of Limits, so you're doing 150% extra damage with Limits.

this is my third or fourth time watching this vid since it released, and it's another excellent one! i loved that you showed how the keyblades look in the other worlds! oathkeeper is still my favourite. but I do like the kh2 keyblades, even if I don't like them. the individual elements for some of them (monochrome and follow the wind) are really really neat, but they aren't cohesive overall. rumbling rose is.... messy. thank you for another great video!

So for the Gull Wing as you said the keychain is the symbol for the Zanarkand Abes, which is the blitzball team Tidus (the main character of Final Fantasy X) and his father Jecht belong to, which Yuna herself has close ties to, both with Jecht being her father's guardian alongside Auron, and Tidus who was her guardian during her summoner's pilgrimage. It is also the symbol used in Yuna's Gunner Dressphere which is her default. As for the chain itself, it's actually Yuna's ponytail from her appearence in Final Fantasy X-2. The hand guard itself could be a reference to Phoenix downs which are used to revive fallen party members (in every Final Fantasy game ever) but it's probably just coincidence. More likely they're just reference to Rikku's original outfit in Final Fantasy X where she had feathers attached to her braids. The ribbons were definitely a reference to her default dressphere in X-2. The handle itself is reference to the sword Paine uses in X-2 since it's got that Spade design when the handle meets the blade. The teeth itself lastly, with it being a Seagull with its wing jutting out, that's the mascot of the Gullwings group, which I found to be pretty neat. Overall it's not my personal favorite Final Fantasy keyblade in the series, there are better one but as a fan of Final Fantasy I like the design and references to X and X-2 they put into it.

I feel like Roxas was called the "Serendipitous Key" because it was a serendipitous event for the Organization that they got a keyblade wielder nobody. Otherwise they wouldn't be able to complete their plan, at least not as fast as they did. Also, Kairi's keyblade seems to largely resemble her original home, Radiant Garden, since it is largely a flower motif. However, that wave pattern also reflects how she has accepted the Destiny Islands as her home as well, as you said, but Radiant Garden still holds a large space in her heart.
