[@edenjacob9391]

Having played this on the DS, the Castle Oblivion portion where you go through the the world cards is much more effective when you play it. You as the player are able to have different outcomes for each world depending on your actions in each world-card room. The characters created by the world-cards even act differently depending on what you do. For example, the Traverse Town card wants you to talk to Sid and then find the triplets in the order you did in the actual data Traverse Town. However, if you do the events out of order, characters can be deleted and will not appear once you talk to all the triplets once. All the wold cards have their own way of offering different actions and altering how you interact with characters. What really drives it home is that you can reuse cards. You can go back the to worlds created by the cards at any time and they will be completely reset. Neither Sora or the characters in the world will ever acknowledge that this is anything but a first meeting. You can relive the worst outcomes for them over and over again, and it will not matter to them because those characters are just illusions and there's no heart to break. I think that's one thing that putting this game into a movie format fails to convey.

Honestly, every game brings a concept to the table that gets brought to future games. In 1 it was the concept of the keyblade, light, darkness. In rechain of memories and 2 it was body mind and soul(heart) theory to explain heartless, nobodies, and lingering will. In birth by sleep we found that keyblades are fragments of the wielder's heart (originally), that people can become wielders when one passes it down to another, and then the concept of body snatching using your own heart to invade another's body to become young again. The major concept that needed to be understood in this game was the concept of a book world being another world that can be explored, something important for the story of Union X that you can only really watch the important cutscenes on youtube now because that mobile game came to an end. In all honesty, 358/2 days is also the game that tried to answer a major question but was overlooked. "Someone erased from everyone's minds will have the missing memories filled with a believable concept." or in other words, "the thing not meant to exist finally disappeared and because of that, everyone, including the villains, suffered from a scrambling of memories." The moment Xion disappeared, all the nobodies thought they weren't meant to exist themselves and that became the ideal reason they wanted to collect hearts, forgetting the original reason.

[@littlebigb5370]

It's a shame the rest of re:Coded isn't that great, because the final message of what it means to hurt and to grieve is amazing. That it isn't good to cut ties of those you lost by one means or another just to forget the pain they cause. That pain can be good and reminds us that what was lost was still good and make us who we are. And most importantly it connects us to others who are hurting, that sympathy cannot exist without experiencing pain. These are all very good life lessons, especially when most fairy tales and stories end with the message that everything continues happily ever after. Sometimes we lose and hurt, even when everything goes the way it should; and that's okay.

[@rendomstranger8698]

Just so you know, this game is where Kingdom Hearts reputation of being confusing started to go from partially undeserved to completely deserved. Starting with this game, it's going to take a lot more effort to piece the lore together and keep track of it all. Even by the end of Kingdom Hearts 3, there are going to be a lot of unanswered questions. Because everything you're going through? It's just the first chapter in the series from what I've heard.

[@Ghostel3591]

@BrTrueV No-no-no. Nowadays all the info already left the Japan. The sole exception was that Pre-KH3 one concert which kinda explained how the heck Namine even knows about Lingering Will. Everything else created confusion mostly due to media being so spread all over the different platforms ESPECIALLY before KH3 release - I mean just imagine between KH2 and KH3 there were BBS. Days, KHUX (2/3 of the story), Re:Coded, DDD, KH0.2 - thus releasing HD collections REALLY helped to bring all this scattered info together (now you only need to get through "initial shock" types of confusion instead of "Lacking crucial info"). And... IT HELPED. People started saying that REAL confusion starts with DDD onward not before. But this is mostly because once again - another game decided to be exclusive to specific platform... And who da heck expects KHUX - a BROWSER GAME which evolved into a MOBILE GAME - to not just have plot telling origins of the universe but even be RELEVANT to the plot of Darkseeker Saga Arc and even setting up NEXT STORY ARC. But still the point stands - everything is pretty much up to date in Japanese and in English. There is no "big information" gap anymore due to "No import for you" - and if something tries to slip through the cracks, KH fans who learned from being burned on the same thing for years nowadays can even provide a translation of JP story before it gets released in English and usually relentlessly stalk any KH related event in case something like Pre-KH3 concert repeats.

[@caelum9471]

Kingdom Hearts being confusing is only a thing because not everyone plays these side games, or likes to think about it because there's just so much information. People that care enough to invest the time into it are just fine. The only thing that is even mildly confusing is the time travel lore, which is explained in the game it gets introduced in, DDD. If you play this game, you realize none of this shit matters to the actual plot except for the teaser at the end and that doesn't even matter because 0.2 and DDD were made. edit: I do understand the frustration with this series, or at least ReCoded and especially Union Cross, but luckily enough some very nice KZbinrs compiled videos with all the important parts to it. All it takes is some free time to watch it. All the tools are there, it's up to you to use them. No one blames you for not, but don't call it confusing when you just don't actually care about those games, it's perfectly fine to not care lol

No this reputation started well before this game. Probably the second the game with the name 358/2 days was announced. That may have been when it got its internet infamy, but even before that people were calling it confusing since the sequel to Kingdom Hearts was released on the GBA and a lot of people just did not know that in 2005. So people went straight into 2 missing an entire game and were super confused when you dont even play as Sora in the beginning and wondering why exactly Sora was asleep and who the characters in the opening cutscene were, ect.

[@DahniSmith]

@@Greenfinite it does feel very.... childish? almost? not sure how to explain it without this metaphor but like, adults say "Piss" and kids say "Pee" that it feels really odd to hear one use the other word, and hearing "Hurt" here over and over as well pings that same "but theres a more mature word you could be using here" feeling that makes it sound more like Roxas is having a tantrum than expressing real painful rage, so maybe it is something to do with an age rating thing? But it could also be perhaps they wanted to specifically go with the emotional angle? Hurt is more often used in emotional contexts, while pain is more often used in physical contexts?

@@DahniSmith Hurt is what remains after pain, like a dull ache when you begin to heal or in the worst cases it might never heal, leaving a constant reminder of that pain. Hurt is also a word that can encompass more than specific words like anger, fear or sadness does.

[@theghostoftheuchiha1999]

Also to try and explain this whole fucking mess: Jimminy’s Journal can record the memories of the worlds that Sora visit. As in like the Journal is all knowing. As soon as Sora enters one world like Aladdin it knows everything Sora knows and more. Like any cutscenes that the player sees but Sora doesn’t know about. Unfortunately because of Chain of Memories everythingthing went to shit because Namine erased all Memories from Sora. Since Sora is connected to the journal spiritually the journals data was erased too. This thing is to fix the Journal since it didn’t get fixed once Sora’s memories returned thanks to Jimminy getting a new Journal for Kingdom Hearts 2. They use some strange technology that i cant really explain how it works except it works like Tron mixed with what Roxas experienced when he moved between the the fake Twilight Town and the real one in KH2. Anyways because of some reason Malifecent somehow discovers all of this and wants to take over the data world. She and Pete hack it which is why they are here. We have no real idea why she wants it. Only that she does and that she wants to trap the heroes in the digital universe in order to easily take over the real universe. As for Mikey, Donald, and Goofy? When they see Sora through the screen they aren’t seeing another digital world. They are seeing their own digital world. They are just watching Sora save the digital universe that they are now in. By the way Data Keyblades arent as strong as regular Keyblades. You don’t need to worry about one breaking easily. Especially one like The Kingdom Key. The Kingdom Key is kind of important to the KH Universe. It can’t be destoryed. (Spoilers) Anyways basically this whole game is to introduce the fact that there are data versions of people that can be uploaded into robot bodys called Replika’s. They will be used in KH3.

Jim's voice for Winnie the Pooh is certainly more recognizable for many people since he's voiced that character a lot more while the Disney Cheshire Cat hasn't had many appearances in recent decades aside from the live actions (in which cases he's been voiced by Stephen Fry, could be interesting to see those versions in Kingdom Hearts someday but I won't hold my breath for that).

He has the same voice in the original movie too. I think people forget they share the same voice actor. I did to until I rewatched them

[@Ronldbx6]

@@trickysmithy9154 O wow! I never seen the original movie or ever heard the Chesire cat actually speak. I didn't know this!

[@onix9906]

Basically what i am getting is that: Mickey and gang made data Sora to get rid of bugs since the real Sora is so good at getting rid of darkness. Jimmy Cricket' s journal kins Riku and that's why it looks like him in the data-verse. My head hurts.

[@ScottCruisingAdventures]

Sweet! This has been my favorite Kingdom Hearts journey to follow!

[@econmatthew2598]

One thing about the Riku fight, on the DS version, it took Sora 3 times to defeat Riku in order to defeat him for actual. Yeah 3 Phases, and Phase 3 he starts using Dark Aura

[@kevinbell5674]

Honestly, if you ever feel up to it, the best part of Re:Coded is the gameplay and has been severely underrated due to what many believe to be a underwhelming story.

[@Pascll]

"but I hear it's quite important" lmao who told him that, that's an absolute lie. I mean, I'd still rather have him watch it than not, but still. edit: to clarify: I'm not saying nothing in re:coded has any worth, it's definitely ideal to watch it, but it's definitely not important. important is if you need to play/watch it in order to understand the rest. you can skip re:coded and still understand almost everything, very little happens in coded and the important things that do happen get explained as soon as you need to know them in later games. there's only really a couple pretty small moments you wouldn't understand. it's still best to watch parts in order to get extra context and a smooth transition, but that doesn't immediately make it important in my opinion. if you really wanted to skip it, you could. though like I said, it's best not to skip it.

[@VGInterviews]

It absolutely is important, you can choose to ignore the the first part but pretty much everythung with castle obvlivion is what sets up what will happen in the future finally revealing to Sora all the other people he has ties to and that need to be saved and setting up the mark of mastery for DDD

[@BobbyTheGamerOfJUSTICE]

It’s the LEAST important but it does contain vital lore. Such as the scene with Malicifent bringing up the book of prophecies and just overall introducing data worlds into the series in a bigger way. Especially considering data worlds do play a role in a couple future games.

[@griffinbaxter4754]

I mean, like 90% of it isn’t but that last 10% is pretty pivotal for leading characters to their next objective and starting the next few important plot lines.

[@Pascll]

@@VGInterviews I mean, it's not really revealing the people sora has ties to, they're all characters we already knew he had ties to. though it does set up the mark of mastery exam, DDD starts with this so you won't really end up being especially confused. I mean, it's still ideal to watch parts of re:coded since it'd otherwise be a pretty abrupt transition, and a bit of context is good, even if it ultimately gets explained again in DDD. my point is, it's best to watch coded, but if you really wanted to skip it, you could, with minimal consequences.

[@Pascll]

@BrTrueV you can absolutely understand DDD without coded. coded is only really relevant once, maybe twice during DDD, and like once during KH3. it's ideal to watch parts of it, but I wouldn't call it important. there's very few things that don't make sense without coded. for the most part, though it's handy to watch coded for a bit of context and a smoother transition, you'll still understand basically everything in future games if you were to skip it. you could skip it if you wanted to with minimal consequences, but it's best to watch it.

[@JennyHugg]

I remember playing this game when it came out with barely any context and looked at my dad really sad and just said “I don’t think I like kingdom hearts anymore :(“ lmao 🤣

I'd say the digital concept they added actually makes sense because the actual first instance we saw of this was in kh2 and the reasoning of the dataworlds existence gets some added lore that actually has a really interesting story later in the series

[@leandroroman7053]

57:10 So they are in a digital world . . . ? Yes. Looking at a digital computer . . . ? We usually call them interface, a little like the ones people use on VR Chat. That has a digital Sora . . . ? Yes. Within that digital computer within that digital world? This interface is like a motoring device, like a security office with access to the cameras all over the facility, this one being the datascape.

And the most annoying boss in any game, the Mysterious Figure, uses the top commands available to each character, in addition to his own bag of tricks. He has a lot more when you get him to half health. He can even heal by blocking, like you.

DeeBee, in BBS there’s some ridiculously broken secret bosses. The Mysterious figure being kind of an important part of the story. You have to revisit the “Land of Departure” and fight automatically starts. You can fight him with any of the three characters once you beat the final episode.
