FACING THE PHANTOM - PART 3 - Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth By Sleep

[@roxlyn1665]

I'm sorry but seeing Phantom Aqua get stun-locked, carried across the screen, and KO'd in one shot-lock was hilarious to me.

[@austin1658]

I finished this game last night. I was in tears. I love it.

[@SoNGY8888]

Just finished it on Proud mode (now going for Critical), but damn that ending :(

[@devilovesdevil]

TangyRabbit2951 I did to omg the ending tho had me crying

[@supernova2597]

I played my first playthrough on Proud mode and WOW! It is the hardest thing I have EVER done, not even any of the other KH bosses on Crit mode were this hard (Minus Lingering Will and Secret bosses)

[@StephySon]

TangyRabbit2951 After beating it last night words cannot express how fucking hyped I am for KH3 and that was when I thought I couldn't be any more hype!

[@Roxaswastaken]

Silver Flame Proud Mode was honestly the easiest thing I've ever done lmao

[@neocaine1829]

So I'm noticing a trend here. The Kingdom Hearts series just loves having you fight against the main character in some fashion. So far we've fought Riku-Ansem in Kingdom Hearts I, we've fought both Axel and Roxas in Kingdom Hearts II, and Xion and Riku in 358/2 Days. In Birth by Sleep you face off against Terra-Xehanort and Ventus-Vanitas. In Re:Coded you face off against Sora's freaking heartless. And now in this game you face off against a phantom version of Aqua. So....does this mean we'll see a Kairi boss battle in Kingdom Hearts III? I'm hoping so!

[@iyahpeace9366]

NeoCaine YOOO I WANT A KAIRI BOSS. but how would that work out?

[@neocaine1829]

Maybe Xehanort possesses her or some shit like that? Like I had this scenario in my head, that he tries to possess Riku or Sora but Kairi jumps in the way and ends up getting Xehanort's heart inside her instead. Maybe?

[@1nick11]

fuck it, they need a training mode like FFXV. every char can 1v1 sora

[@bigsmoke1901]

Nicholas Mysliwski Someone send this to Nomura

[@TreeBranch080]

NeoCaine.....No.... Just no

[@yoshimitsui2]

This game was great, you automatically have Combo Master and you get to have the high-tier version of magic like Curaga and the game is played like Kingdom Hearts 1 or 2.

[@poopybutt4117]

A little more floatier than 1 and 2, but that's how Birth By Sleep was so I guess they wanted to keep that feel. And I don't see why Aqua would have to start from lvl 1 with no abilities. All she did was enter the realm of darkness so she should keep everything she had from the other game.

[@soha7617]

"I really want to know what these gems are for" objectives, my boi

[@ThePumpDaddyC]

"No one can save you. And no one wants to." Something tells me Aqua went to inaba from persona 4. Aqua the way to accept your shadow is to say "I am you and you are me." And then you'll get a cool persona creature. That's how you'll escape the relm of darkness.

[@FlareBattle]

Only Cynical would pick the right chest first time randomly lol

[@keyblademasterct2]

it's annoying how you don't seem to pay the slightest attention to what the voice in Aqua's head is saying. Is you're volume turned down? Also, you never mentioned what you think of the music in Dwarf Woodlands.

[@gigablast4129]

the dildoblade3000?heh get with the times everybodys using the dildoblade 6900

[@Drybuddy]

giga blast but my pepl are using the dildoblade6969 with more dildoblade action

[@hiltonmotel6627]

giga blast there has been rumors that the dildobade 6900 is stilling drowning in pussy to this very day...

[@FlavioThepianist]

Damn Aqua looks fine on that Thumbnail.

[@TreeBranch080]

Its a video game character grow up

[@Axialmat]

WGORAX could have been a joke or exaggeration. Dont be so stiff

[@xTheDarkendSoulx]

Aqua is bae.

[@brando3424]

I love the phantom fight along with the song that it plays called "Ver". So eerie and filled with suspense. Anybody else save a new slot just so you could go back and play it again?

[@Artractive_]

they were so generous with their after credits scenes :) I was so stoked to hear Sora talk about learning how to Awaken people in kh3 *cough* VEN *cough* and to hear all their voices.. so awesome!

[@brettwilliams7817]

We've seen Firaja and Thundaja. Can u show us what Blizzaja does in Part 4?

[@jameshutton17]

you should move your facecam over the map lol i kinda wanna know what youre getting in the chest it seems everything pops up on the that side

[@Axialmat]

TsC Semaj good comment

[@MrSiad123]

0.2 birth by sleep on the PS4 Pro in 4K look lit af 🔥🔥🔥

[@Pizzaguy975]

blackstarGOaT I know I watched all the cutscenes over on mine because of the sexy visuals and fabric effects they look so good

[@BFarmer1980]

The Phantom Aqua voices in the background legit freaked me out. Crazy stuff.

[@ScapeVEVO]

"What's going on you beautiful whoo-hahs" (Echo) Whoohah whoohah hoooohaaahs whoo-hahs WHOO-HAH whohah whohah whohahwhohahwhohahwhohahwhohah WHOOO HAAAHHHHH (Diddy Kong flashbacks ensue)

[@StevenSmithgames]

VENTUS IS WHAT'S IN THE BOX! it makes perfect sense! if you remember in bbs, you see ventus as an unconscious vessel. and he was meant to have the power to forge the x blade. he wouldn't cooperate with xehanort, so xehanort split him in 2. Also luxu had the box and the keyblade. that keyblade was then passed to xehanort, along with the box! and boom, that's how xehanort got ventus! FROM THE BOX!

[@JustxiceKMH]

Cynical, you're honestly the only KH KZbinr I watch and enjoy. Keep making great videos man, and I can't wait til I get my hands on the game :)

[@KevKrieger32]

17:57 This music :O Aqua's theme into a "battle theme"

[@sonichero7]

"No one can save you. And Know one wants to." Phantom Aqua is crazy catty.

[@MrTreborx]

11:48 i think you need to put the rock in the same height as the gem.

[@crazyfire9470]

Robert Eulich you're correct

[@zombiekillerz5]

Dildoblade 3000 confirmed for KH3

[@Sazenami]

Wow! With the chest puzzle ur supposed to notice its the only one not open before entering the mirror... You guessed and got it... Well done Jared.

[@donobeastson]

That "dangerously placed" gem can be obtained if you wait till that floating rock is at the bottom of its path in the mirror

[@kidpowers3]

so glad they have you fighting heartless in this game instead of the dream-eaters from Dream drop distance!

[@Srelt1799]

Just read a danish review of this game with a score of 7/10. One of the cons: Aqua looks like a Barbie Doll. We out in some "too much water" territory here

[@aaronburton9511]

Loved the vid! I cant believe this series is actually happening! Kh2.8 ingeneral! Finallly new kh game! Cant wait for a lets play of DDD as well ;D

[@lShadowdark]

Cynical: "I'm digging the pink" Me: * "It's purple!" *

[@TaliesinMyrddin]

Aww, I wanted to see him solve the actual chest puzzle instead of barreling into the right answer by chance.

[@gaellala2892]

The strength of hearts required to face oneself has been made manifest... Aqua has faced her other self.. She has obtain the facade to overcome life's hardships

[@SuperShadowKin]

"No one can save you and no one wants to." Damn that is dark.

[@reapthebeats_9461]

this is a crazy thought, but maybe characters who are based around an element have unlimited access to the -ja form of its magic. I'm saying this cause after looking at it, firaja's after effects look crazy similar to Axel's arena in his KH2 fight with Roxas....

[@damiangarcia5782]

LMAO that Firaja at 14:22 is an accurate representation of my trying to talk to girls and completely missing. Basically, a representation of my life tbh.

[@spoon6367]

My screen was blurry for a few seconds but cleared at the exact point in time that he used Finish for the second time.

[@sonichero7]

The first game to come out since I've been a fan and it is great!

[@narutoKHfan1]

Thats really interesting that you had the same problem with the screen that I did. I couldn't see the buttons for the shortcut commands or the HP bar until i changed the screen orientation

[@keyblademasterct2]

Wow, you're not having nearly as hard a time as I am on Proud mode -___-

[@Sorathedemon]

He's on Standard. :P

[@keyblademasterct2]

Robbie S I died at least three times against the "Phantom Aqua". He beat her using Shotlock once. To be fair, I didn't use Shotlock once.

[@reaperzone85]

well he picked standard mode so its a cake walk, but for people like you and me that picked proud its a son of a bitch especially that final boss.

[@oblivioustouch9012]

The worst is yet to come. *Secret Boss* final phase on Proud Mode took me 2 hrs to beat. At lvl 68.

[@thecasualcranium347]

I beat proud mode at level 58... and I'm beating critical right now at 50.. help me.

[@siddharthsriram3173]

"I like strong Shit" - Cynical, 2017

[@jethawk1172]

this game is more scarier and difficult than i ever imagined. had like 3 heartattacks facing the phatom aqua

[@kingleonidas2182]

Just a Suggestion, use the Gradient option and use Dark Blue and your green. I feel like it'll look better.

[@ashsteffer1923]

Those new key blades look so good now with the 1920x1080 and anti-aliasing

[@genji9775]

I bet he's bout to stretch tf outta this let's play 😂

[@saltmeistr7295]

you could get that floating gem by timing the rocks right in the mirror

[@RafaelRodriguesAxelyexNobody]

Aqua spent so much time in the realm of darkness...... the only good thing that made her feel better is those new clothes and acessoriea...

[@mercury5729]

HIS DERP MOMENTS IN THIS VID OMFG 😂😂😂😂😂

[@ArsArcanum]

Can you tell me why you like the color green? lol

[@kaliphlane5963]

I had an idea what if Luxu is xheanort ? Luxu seems like he wants to see what's in the box and maybe inside the box was the x blade and that's something xheanort definitely knew but he didn't know about kingdom hearts because when I first showed up was when he left cuz the master told him to disappear so he's curious to see it????

[@devilovesdevil]

stitching always looks best its my top favorite pattern

[@Roxaswastaken]

Cpn. Beartato I like the lace

[@rachelrothraven525]

are you going to stream Dream Drop Distance after you are done with BBS 0.2? ps. I love your vids

[@sorax9574]

Hey Jared so I finished X back cover and it left me thinking alot and I watched all your theory videos (the box, the eyes of the master of masters) great stuff but I saw that there was some doubt that luxus (sorry if I spelled his name wrong lol) was there during birth by sleep to watch the battle under kingdom hearts. well after you beat birth by sleep you can fight the mysterious figure who we all thought was the leader of organization Xlll. well what if it wasn't because at this point xehanorts heartless and nobody hasent been made yet.....I don't know. maybe be over the top thinking but that could be luxus. crazy stuff man

[@sorax9574]

oh and one more thing!! let's not forget that when you beat the mysterious figure on the remix version you get a trophy called TIMES TELLER!!!!!

[@POMZero997]

Yeah, pretty sure the mysterious figure is just Young Xehanort time travelling

[@sorax9574]

Chrono_Knight its funny because right after I posted this I thought of that lol still that would be crazy. mind blowing

[@Andy-wt6ym]

Do a video on what's inside Sora's shoes.

[@prototagteaching2666]

Nobody (get it?) knows. Pretty sure it's KHIII though.

[@WhosNyGeal]

Love these videos! Dope work man, for once I'm actually early XD

[@hawihawi1734]

huh. I noticed the screen thing... so thanks... but back then I didn't care much, this game is too beautiful.

[@t-o7116]

i love this!!!! finally cynical can play fresh game:D

[@Danmajor555]

At 6:26, did Aqua "slam" onto the wall from that knock back?!

[@Elchinodiabolero]

Good boy, you uploaded part 3

[@Drybuddy]

Elchinodiabolero Now go for part 4

[@maradri03gaming9]

I would like to see square add a game end unlock that lets you see your costume after finishing the game. :)

[@piyushramesh8450]

UR VIDS ARE SO FUNNY AND FUN!!!!UR A SICK KZbinR MAN!!!!

[@maurice6025]

Piyush Ramesh Nice use of exclamation marks.

[@piyushramesh8450]

The SnippetFinder stfu bitch

[@Axialmat]

Piyush Ramesh why would you say that

[@maurice6025]

Piyush Ramesh Whats wrong with you

[@hansenlee1371]

Piyush Ramesh yeah he was just giving you a compliment geez.

[@lazybear4321]

So was Sora supposed to be from Final Fantasy 10? I just remembered back in KH1, we saw that other than Riku and Kairi, Sora's other friends were the characters from Final Fantasy 10, and Destiny Islands does look like the beaches from Final Fantasy 10.

[@thatoneblackdude3333]

No kingdom hearts is a crossover game. Between Disney and final fantasy so they have Disney and ff characters in it

[@ValindaSlaughter]

Beautiful Hoo ahs? Why thank you Jared!!!!!!!!!!

[@killiban3000]

lock is not even close to final form that shit was beyond fun and op

[@56momoney]

Damn you destroyed that Aqua imposter.

[@stijnroovers1031]

Maybe you can make the episodes a liiittlee bit longer?? :) I'm really enjoying the series!

[@ReamstreamsGenshin]

*Beginning of the video* "What's going on you hoo haas?!" *Me: EXCUSE ME SIR BUT I AM A **_MAGICAL_** HOO HAA. GET YO FACTS STRAIGHT MY BOI.*

[@elogekalubi821]

Aqua fights Aqua. Aqua thinks how it is like to kill herself

[@CamaryDean]

Idk if you've realized but Aqua & Terras hands are fucking huge in this!

[@thatoneblackdude3333]

All the characters do

[@poopybutt4117]

Can't wait for the ragequits on Critical. I tried fighting Demon Tide about 100 times and I'm actually done with that BS.

[@LonerChild32]

Khbbs when I got shot lock I would spam in aresnal arena with focus potions all the time

[@sunny-ok7kx]

Aqua's hands are as big as her chest.. damm dog

[@akiriith]

Been watching through these older playthroughs and honestly having seen Re:Mind first, you complaining about the Big Fat Chest aged like fine wine lmao, how the tables have turned |D

[@shelleyflorio8357]

When u beat 0.2 watch back cover then watch the prologue and look to the left and u will see something that made me confused

[@Drybuddy]

Shelley Florio He did a stream of it yesterday over on Twitch.

[@TaliesinMyrddin]

I wonder if Cynical ever realises there's a scroll bar on the objectives screen and they aren't necessarily in order

[@ESpencer97]

How did you fix the screen size issue? My TV has no settings for overscan or aspect ratio. So I tried the ps4 display setting on its lowest border, no luck.

[@yoloalchemist]

Cynical, I had the same problem with the screen, and I thought I could fix it by adjusting the screen size from the main PS4 settings but it didn't work. How did you fix it?

[@ivanahumpalot3880]

You didn't get all of the gems. For the rock that goes up and down, you have to stop it at the bottom so that you can stand on it to get that gem.

[@TMNTFastForward1234]

For the second mirror puzzle where the three rocks are moving in different directions at the same time, is there anything significant with the star shape that forms on the rocks in the mirror? Am I supposed to connect it somehow? Just wondering as I've been trying to time it right, but I don't want to fixate on it if it isn't important :)

[@mrbungholio9814]

Wait for that rock to go down be get that damn gem

[@Joshua-xh6bm]

Shotlock definitely got toned down from Birth By Sleep. It's strong, but not quite as strong, and it takes a LOT longer to refill your gauge at least in 0.2

[@zachkeck9047]

can these vids be longer plz i need more!

[@niftytwig667]

This series is gonna take 5 episodes I bet cuz I already beat the game and it only took me 4 hours

[@nicfrizzle]

So on my first play through of 0.2 Birth By Sleep I decided to do it on proud mode and now I'm stuck on the heartless swarm with Mickey. This thing is no joke my goodness. Overall its a very fun fight and proud mode isn't that hard.

[@nicfrizzle]

So I finally beat 0.2 bbs and it was very satisfying. Pieces some stuff together so it was cool. You'll definitely enjoy the rest of the game.

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

Apparently, there might be an announcement tomorrow, according to Square Enix's twitter account......and Marvel's too.

[@bigsmoke1901]

ajmrowland Hype?

[@adamtaurusragnathebloodedg8407]

May your heart be your guiding key

[@kh3teraaqw3d96]

1st gem you saw you can get and also at 16:34 theres one more

[@ranibani2055]

u were in luck!!! had to try everyone!! before i finally got the right one, and later i noticed tht there was probably hint in the mirrow "outside" -_-´ anyway, just neeeed to say!! i love how tht keyblade is going away, after u dont need it *.* its so nice detail, and its more realistic, and i just love it!! will tht be also in kh3? do Jared video about your feelings and thoughs bout the 0.2 nd wht do u think will kh3 be much alike? also i would like to know who u think is the traitor, cuz SPOILERs there wasnt any answer to tht ....want to know wht proof and who seemd more to u as a traitor, or how everyone in someway has reason to be the traitor, or something like tht

[@patriotprime1]

Still haven't heard from Nomura about his farts. WHY HAVENT YOU REPORTED IN IT!

[@Gogeta044]

lol that one shot of phantom aqua was hilarious. #shotlockop

[@fluffdafire157]

was the mirror aqua using ghost drive

[@fabiancerda2472]

I loved the ending it was a huge mind fucked

[@TheLastDistress]

Ugh was it just the video not showing the the shortcut menu or was it tv/ monitor to? Because mines cut off on my tv and I've tried to to fix it through the display area setting on the PS4 but that didn't work so if anyone has a solution to this much appreciated.

[@abdallahkhaled7436]

Please make a video about when we will receive more kh 3 news since kh 2.8 is released

[@robertbastey1305]

great video man

[@Scrabble12]

how did you fix the screen issue that you mentioned at the beginning? I had the same problem. Finished the game but just memorized what each shortcut was

[@4444ez]

Forget you!! haha took me like 3 tries plus the hint from the mirror

[@janarriemcgee1599]

I am buying the game today I can't wait to play it

[@selenemoon5203]

Nailed it ! 3:09

[@angelicatolentino8477]

This is beautiful

[@inSeyven]

You can actually watch a full walkthrough on spanish + english on my channel.
