Gaming Mysteries: Kingdom Hearts 2 Beta (PS2)

Today on Gaming Mysteries, I take a look at the beta of Kingdom Hearts 2. As a bonus, I was sick while I made this video! YAY!!!!!!!1
If you'd like to help me make more videos :D / yuriofwind

[@Nakiami]

So in the end we got a boss that is Xemnas in a cow costume =D

[@maxride5003]

I thought the same thing too. Actually laughed when I saw him in the moo-moo suit.

[@jf.040]

True

[@Yuriofwind]

Square Enix actually has tabs on all of their fans lifespans and when we're all dead, THEN they'll release the game. Simultaneously Half Life 3 will be released, then Square and Gabe Newell will laugh heartily.

[@repeekyraidcero]

Too bad they lost one fan already by: * Making KHIII garbage * Shafting the Switch with crippled pseudo releases * Not caring for the franchise anymore

[@Xpwnxage]

@@repeekyraidcero I agree, KH3 was disappointing. I actually love Days, CoM and BBS though. At least I have those.

[@ZeranZeran]

KH3 is out and this comment still seems true, lmao. Great video.

[@Mitzi-chan224]

That would explain why KH2 came out on my birthday. lol

[@danielchu9079]

The ending teaser trailer actually was teasing a sequel not the sequal known as 358/2 days wich ends with the teaser where you fight rikku with dualwield as roxas

[@ArtzieMusic]

KH3 is supposed to come out sometime between 2015-2017!

[@Raizoken0]

close enough

[@yourtypicalbot1926]

And now we have a DLC coming in 10 days for kingdom hearts 3

[@Kirbachu5]

My hunch as to why King and Kentauros (Xemnas's removed final forms) were removed is that they would have to texture every one of the buildings they are made out of. I can imagine that, after Sora destroyed the World of Nothingness, Xemnas would build Kentauros out of the buildings. Then Sora (and possible Riku) would perform Reaction Commands to cut off two of its legs. Then, nothicing this, Xemnas shifts some of the buildings around to stablize the structure, then creating King. Shadow of the Colossus style, Sora would have to climb up King's arms and such to reach the large crown where Xemnas was, still clad in Xehanort's armor.

[@MasterJunior93]

too... much... climbing! Xemnas might as well be Unicron sized!

[@imjust_a]

That, and I highly doubt the PS2 could render that many polygons on the screen in general. Sure, Shadow of the Colossus pulled it off, but the developers also dedicated the entire game to be optimized for that.

[@gokuspr345]

Don't worry!! we finally got our final mix guys!! :B

[@Xpwnxage]

I remember back in like 2007 looking up gameplay of Japanese Final Mix and being sooo upset I couldn't play them. At least we have them now.

[@christianmarionespenilla2690]

@@Xpwnxage if you can read japanese you can

[@redseagaming7832]

you want to know what the biggest surprise for me when I first played the Final Mix of Kingdom Hearts 2 fighting Roxas he turned out to be a tough cookie. since Roxas Sora and Sora is Roxas you really fighting yourself.

[@sylviabailey4985]

Does ANYONE know the name of this intro song? I remember hearing an English version and I want to find it again.

[@SourpeachProductions]

Sanctuary

[@peggynapier8381]

I want to cry cause I beat Kh Dream Drop Distincts a year after I lost it and it played this song at the end. 😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿. Sora and Rekou Keyblade Masters.

[@Keyofshadow13]

I had no idea you liked kingdom hearts YuriOfWind, I LOVE THAT GAME SERIES

[@bluedragon5927]

I would've loved to fight those giant forms! It would've been epic if you were like forced into Final Form for the entire fight: Final Sora vs. Dark Emperor Xemnas Phase 1 and 2.

[@Szendayuh]

It looks scary

[@fearmaster129]

and thus we got Kh2 HD remix :D

[@HappyOwl]

dat ending music... 7 years later, it still descends into my soul

[@ZeranZeran]

Don't die ♥ Great video

[@LMK-Gaming]

Well KH3 is coming out and your not dead so there you go, you made it, well done.

[@Mfdude716]

Well the game is out, however they ended the game on a damn cliff hanger.

[@HyperSonicXtreme]

It’s the end of the Xehanort saga.

[@SourviperGamingChaseFonfara]

...2019.

[@ValorSage]

"Mom, can I get Final Mix; It has alot more content than the first game." *Shows the price* "No!" D;

[@FINjoke]

omg loved the ending =D "wow, that's a creepy way to end the video!" haha, loved it!

[@ranchdressing]

Also, I have to say, Yuri, you're actually one of the coolest nerds I've seen on the internet. You're like the Linkara, almost, of video game betas.

[@TrevorNickell]

@ Tsuki Ahtamru The song's called 'Passion' (the original Japanese version of 'Sanctuary'), the main theme of Kingdom Heats II.

[@astrodome1994]

Trevor Nickell What I wanna know is what the song at the very end is.

[@ike804]

This was my favorite game series ever... and im only 12!!!!

[@sam007695]

Looking back on this now, you'll be alive for 3 and at least we'll be getting KH1 final mix this september 10.

[@Vulcanfaux]

I know this comment is way after you posted this but be happy we are getting the final mix versions and kingdom hearts 3 with in our life time! Sadly it's been 7 years after 2 originally came to the west.

[@Shiren45]

2.5 remix... woooo

[@hesscharles6773]

The hooded guy in the secret trailer is Roxas

[@godofcrap42]

You, my friend, have just convayed all my thoughts on this game ENTIRELY, except for the Buzz and Woody summons- that would have been badass. Let's hope for a Toy Story world in KHIII in that regard. I think playing as a Play Arts-style Sora figure would be awesome for that world.

[@Icarus975]

Time flies I can’t believe this video is almost 11 years old now

[@papisenpai5994]

Woody and buzz are in kh3 first to say

[@stephenfiler3204]

Days is my favorite.

[@ALISTGAMERS1]

You made it to kingdom hearts 3 congrats!

[@LowKeydeLA]

LMAO your last bit of you dying before the 3rd one came out made me litterally laugh out loud hahah!! That aside this is also my favorite of the series as well and good video etc.

[@RyleyPercivalMiller]

Yeah the region locking of the final mix versions still pisses me off. They better not do that with KH3

[@SoraFan23]

Chances are they might. Just saying. Hell if they do we might get Kingdom Hearts 3.5 remix

[@RyleyPercivalMiller]

***** I don't want to wait another 10 years for KH3.5 Remix

[@RyleyPercivalMiller]

NO we already have one Japanese gaming company screwing us with DLC "cough Capcom cough" we don't need another one

[@Andrew-ol6ru]

this was my game

[@NintendoxFighter]

Now you're making me think what a Dreamland world for KH would be.

[@ProtoDual]

Made my childhood happier

[@SyberFox2point0]

And then I am sitting here being the only person to like 358/2 more than 2.

[@dekuMusic]

+SyberFox2point0 don't worry, you aren't alone ;)

[@jordanholloman5907]

+SyberFox2point0 I love it better than II as well. The story got me so well, I almost cried.

[@koenwebb4157]

Isn't there a 4th one out or am I thinking of the third one..?

and now we are getting a 2018 release

[@pippo17173]

Man that final boss would of been awesome.

[@MrTubeStuck]

Great Utada Song Choice :D

[@GameNut321]

Mad how kh3 it's coming to xbox one... hopefully ps4 gets exclusive content

[@superlukey3]

Is there a problem with two consoles getting the game so more people can enjoy its awesomeness?

[@superlukey3]

heavensjoke Then quit being irrational. It makes no sense, and you even admitted to it, so why is it a big deal?

[@peytons1174]

Yeah but why you can hate that its coming to xbox is that its just so that they can make more money and its just weird that its coming to xbox because its only been for the ps2

[@superlukey3]

peyton s Well, they need/want more funding. You probably would too; video game development is about 1000 times more expensive than movie development.

[@superlukey3]

heavensjoke That is the very point I was trying to make.

[@iFyckedYaGirl]

I like how the final boss of KH days is the scene when Roxas and Riku fight.

[@CelticVizard]

I thought that about the wait for KH3 too. Word for word! But, just in my head. Never out load.

[@Holycrapheadcrabs]

I'm totally with you. After finishing Dream Drop Distance, I've been in the mood to replay Kingdom Hearts 2, but wanted to try out Final Mix. Since the HD remix of the first is coming out soon, I can only hope they're planning on doing the same with the second eventually. Although, that would require me getting a Ps3. It'll definitely be worth it, though.

[@isamuokashii]

if you look up "KH2: Sanctuary Reverse" on youtube, you'll hear some interesting lyrics being said (the strange lyrics that are heard after the standard ones). I remember one lyric said something similar to, "I need emotions". I think those lyrics reflect Roxas as the usual ones that are heard when the song is played normally are reflecting Sora

[@joshuafranklin8599]

Im pretty happy with how the final boss went, it fits into the BBS storys, anything bigger and it would have felt like a rehash of KH1s final boss

[@SquishBaron]

As it nears closer yuri never new that in 2013 kingdom hearts 3 will be announced and look epic

[@trustyyour13]

You never did? Your nearest gamestop man. GO! GO! GO!

[@vunix1234567890]

Those giant Xemnas forms.... I seriously, SERIOUSLY want those.

[@danyrx8]

There are some cutscenes in here that i actually never have seen! Niceee... ^_^

[@leonwolf4]

Well I just got a 3DS for KH 3D and I don't regret it. Loved it from beginning to end. It's great to be back in both Sora AND Riku's shoes. And the disney worlds were really fun, especially the one based on Fantasia. Plus it's important if you wanna follow the story. But maybe they'll do a re-release in HD like their doing now with the older titles.

[@SoraFan23]

Really wish they kept the original form of Xemnas, that looks so cool. Shame that they only used like 4 phases of the final boss. I felt like it was dragged out

[@LanceBerylDev]

Hey, has anyone noticed one of the jackpots in gaming mysteries? KH3D: DDD in the beta stage (as seen in the early trailers) had the common enemies from KH2; heartless and nobodies but never appeared in the final version. And as seen in the early trailers, Xemnas and Ansem were seen as Bosses in Traverse Town but were not seen until Riku's Visit to Cite de cloches and Sora's to Pranksters paradise. AND they weren't even fought until the final world of the game. Please look into it.

[@bumtickley]

I cried over all of these differences

[@maxride5003]

You and me have something in common my friend: we both love Kingdom Hearts. Can't wait for 3 to come out!!!

[@MasterJunior93]

4:21 poor Yuri. Hang in there dude.

[@WelshDrag]

Just wow thanks for the share :o

[@CuppaGi]

1.5 and 2.5 are HD rehashes of all the games leading up to Kingdom Hearts 3. 1.5 is Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and will have a HD Rehash of the cutscenes from Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. 2.5 is going have Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix and is rumored to have Birth By Sleep or the actual Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days as a playable title (which is having to be remade hence why they'd put it on the 2.5 release) but there's no actual announcements for it yet.

[@RandomKoitsu11]

Square Enix is making Kingdom Hearts 1.5, which is an HD Kingdom Hearts collection consisting of the first KH Final Mix, RE:Chain of Memories, and a theater version of 358/2 Days for the PS3. I'm not sure if that was the question you were asking though because I forgot to mention that it will be coming out in JAPAN this March. Even though there isn't an exact statement by Square; any gaming or KH fansite will say that there is a high chance of it going international.

[@dylanfeiling]

so pumped!

[@hubbabubba9849]

that whole special scene at the end of KH1 was literally the ending of KH:358/2

[@deadjames3]

You also proved my point, that's three years from now, which is a very long time in the video game industry.

[@KingdomKeyStarSeeker]

I never want the series to end........

[@providence1517]

Well, Yuriofthewind, you might be surprised that they will be releasing the Final Mix versions of KH1 in the 1.5 HD Remix coming this fall, and there is talk of 2.5 HD Remix that would include the Final Mix of KH2 and BBS.

[@ApprenticeofEggman]

Now you don't have to wait 10 years! Just one year!

[@SkylerW45]

it's been a great year for kingdom hearts, we get final mix, and KH3 has been announce

[@SharinganSora95]

Kingdom hearts 2 is my favorite game of all time. Words cannot describe how much I love that game.

[@InsecureLobster]

Kingdom Hearts 3: Shards of Light was an indipendent artist's concept of what could be Kingdom Hearts 3 in the form of cover art. In simpler terms, someone drew it up for fun. It's on Deviant Art if you search for it

[@roxasleon7892]

What was the unused song in the game and is there a link to hear it?

[@aaronyeboah6494]

There’s the 1.5 + 2.5 HD Remix Collection for the PS4, which got the Final Mix versions of 1 and 2.

[@crthejediknightninja]

FINALLY YOU USED A GOOD SONG FOR A KH VID

[@fareedbakhit]

cool! i wanna play these two games again.

[@rickyimbrogno1280]

It definitely is, but there are also other awesome 3DS games you might want to check out

[@cynthmae]

i love the kingdom hearts series and i remember those agonizing years of waiting.... i now own all 7 games and waiting for the next one..... i hope it comes out before i die too... i would have to say my favorite one is a toss up between bbs kh2 and the original kingdom hearts... i do love 3d though.. urg! so hard to decide!!! OH and btw i loved this video!!!

[@Tazeviler]

The guy that says "You can give us back the ___ Now" reminds me of Snow from final fantasy XIII. I wonder if Snow's character design is based on this character or not. go to 2:58 in the video if you want to see the guy that I am talking about.

[@leonrixon5786]

that's the way ! , yeah hopefully , and if not then check out versus 13 , as its kinda like KH but more twisted with final fantasy :D so its a win win if you like both games :P

[@SynysterProjects]

Yuri, KH3 releases in 1 day and 15 hours! Don't die yet!!!

[@Yuriofwind]

I don't tend to pay attention to hand helds that much, and it was only recently that I picked up a PSP so I was unaware of that feature.

[@TheCapricorn4ever]

My favorite Kingdom Hearts game is 358/2 Days. I like it the most because you get to learn more about Org. XIII and I don't know I just love playing it.

[@MojitoFTW]

I love KH, more than any game series ever, but I must say KH:BBS is my favorite. KH2 is close, but BBS had an insane amount of gameplay, it answered so many questions, and it was just a really amazing story...

[@godofcrap42]

I would have thought they would appear as replacement party members: Buzz using his 'laser' whilst Woody grouped enemies together with a lasso so Sora could make multiple hits. The "YOU'RE A TOY!" thing could be the finishing move, maybe.

[@UchaNekome]

Cronological order of all Kingdom Hearts games 1: Birth by Sleep 2: Kingdom Hearts 3: Chain of memories and 358/2 Days (They happen simutaniously) 4: Kingdom Hearts 2 5: Coded 6: Dream Drop Distance 7: Kingdom Hearts 3 (Whenever that comes out...) Hope this helps anyone confused about the timeline of the franchise.

[@StarJem101]

1:01 the secret ending was in the remix, it is a edit of the first game.

[@anakinsolo68]

Exactly, BBS was an amazing game and helped clear up a few things(like why Roxas doesn't look like Sora), and DDD is the perfect setup for KH3!

[@tsumi1717]

Kingdom Hearts II is my favorite too. :D Mostly cuz it was the first I played and I was like, 5 when I did... It was awesome. anyways, nice video, other than it being short xD But I understand why, not much to talk about.

[@MaXionXIII]

I don't blame you about being pissed about us not having the Final Mixes! It pisses me off too as it has some awesome shiz in it!

[@BurntRussianHD]

Kingdom Hearts is by far my favorite series ever

[@Supergodzilla118]

You should be happy to know that a remake of Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix is coming out next year for the PS3 along with Birth By Sleep Final Mix and Re Coded. So, you may finally get to play the final mix after all

[@mr.paladin5794]

The 1.5 HD remix is going to final mix of kingdom hearts 2 and kingdom hearts 1. Along with re:chain of memories and all video cut scenes remade from 358/2 days.

[@Archipelagoat]

dosnt that guy at 0:45 look like lysandre (dunno if spelled right) from pokemon X and Y?

[@SonicSpeeder244]

Well, at least we get the first final mix here for ps3 in Q4 of this year. This also hopefully means the second one will be released on ps3 as well

[@Yuriofwind]

Chain of Memories was released in 2004, not KH2, that was 2006, 2005 for japan, and 2007 for the final mix version. So, I waited roughly 4 years for KH2 to be released in the states in 2006.

[@LemonChanh]

I loved this game so much i had a whole 8gb memory card just for it with all my favorite bosses whenever

[@rhyanmark5540]

whut 8gb

[@Krystal0129]

It's been AGES since I've played KH and KH2...

[@Geno8699]

I think it's Kairi's theme from KH1. You can hear it in KH1 around the end before you go to the End of Worlds or whatever. Its this cutscene... kinda, where Kairi's mom... or whatever, is telling Kairi a story about the light and darkness and blah blah blah symbolism.

[@hisroyalbonkess]

i also noticed that, but the first time i beat DDD i completely overlooked it
