Bit of a random video, It's been years since I've played Kingdom Hearts 2 & I wanted to upload this Boss fight because Final Form Xenmas is my favorite Boss fight of all time & this was my first time ever beating a KH Game on Critical Mode xD

[@InbetweenGamer]

Yeah I know :) Hopefully it comes out next year I've been waiting for over 10 years xD

[@Kingkrease]

Honestly they set the bar really fucking high for this final boss I still think this is the best final boss in the series.

[@KushiLungs]

[@Christopher-eq1rn]

arguably one of the best in all of gaming

[@nickelpickle698]

I feel like kh3 is better mechanics wise like xemnas is a pushover

[@gumi6751]

Sadly this is probably the easiest final boss in the series, which is weird for being KH2.

[@ducksoop.x]

@@gumi6751 To be honest I'm ok with that, it's not really the difficulty but the overall atmosphere this fight evokes is what I love about this fight. Plus, the data fight is not so forgiving compared to the regular boss fight.

[@pikaboom6539]

The synergy between Sora and Riku in this fight is the ultimate payoff in the entire series and the ultimate relationship goals. They grew up together, they fought, they went their own ways for a bit. But they ultimately came together and consistently had each others’ backs in this ultimate final battle. You can see them visibly go harder when either of them is compromised at any point in this encounter, and it’s so apparent that aside from their goal to take down Xemnas, each others’ safety is a primary directive. I love this fight so much.

[@jackluffy7914]

This is still to this day my favorite final boss fight not just in kingdom hearts but in my whole years of gaming the way Riku takes most of the hits for sora even with a broken arm just shows how much he regrets what he did in 1 and you can see sora is mostly on offense in this fight which just makes sense for his character. And that’s why 2 is my favorite game the fights just have so much lore behind it when a fight is important it is IMPORTANT in a story standpoint

[@DowntownTasty]

Honestly kh2 is just hands down the best game in the entire series. Maybe one of the best ones out there. Especially considering kh as a concept (FF+Disney) shouldn’t have worked. But it did cuz nomura is a great storyteller. I hate when people don’t want to give kh a try cuz they think it’s gonna be lame due to the Disney characters. I’m like you don’t know what you’re missing out on

They werent just back to back in the laser dome, they actively covered the other's blind spots. The speed and trust they needed to not only deflect projectiles moving at the speed of light from literally all angles is inhuman.

[@KairoTheGoose]

Square Enix: "Sora must be the one to deal the final blow to every boss." Riku: "OUTTA MY WAY!"

XDDD

[@LightSkye]

I always finished this battle like that too. Having Riku land the final blow with the limit break was just too fitting.

[@KaryonTheirStory]

The laser deflection portion is my favorite moment in the entire series. This is the moment where I said “aaayyyeeeeee my boys ain’t playin!!!!”

[@rinkukitakato2833]

I had my bro to help at that part; our fingers cramped in turns, so the controller changed hands at least twice XD Well, to be fair, the moment he noticed his fingers wasn't quick enough, he shoved the controller in my direction XD

[@robdenicola3667]

Joader R. Lmao no it will not be forgotten

[@jordmanbatgod]

I love the symbolism at 4:08. Riku’s Keyblade faces down, like its wielder who went down a dark path, and Sora’s facing up, someone who has clung to the light. Now working together to fight the Nothingness in between that threatens them both

[@xXBorn2HardstyleXx]

Its also better when you realize the reason sora is even able to dual wield is because of Ventus's heart inside him and the way he holds Riku's keyblade is in the style of Ventus

[@juliustalavera231]

I know I am. The little cinematic Quick Time Events that was present F O R. E V E R Y. B O S S. with their own unique animations too, wasn’t present in KH3. Sure, we got those Disney rides, which were a very cute touch, but for most it got repetitive.

I think all of us are especially since the dlc added stuff for almost every other team. Coming off Kh3D which was a better game in my opinion had a great team attack for them as well. Like I feel kh3 is just a bunch of missed opportunities rolled into 1

[@JetGenius]

Greatest final boss fight so far in video game history! Being surrounded completely by lasers and deflecting them desperately like two anime characters was beyond genius. Finishing cinematic where Sora saves Riku and they both finish Xemnas was also pure genius. I have extremely high expectations for the final boss fight of Kingdom Hearts 3 for good reason.

[@motionisdead9796]

I'm honestly afraid that they won't top this, or even get close to this type of kino. All I can do is hope.

[@jokulle77]

Shiroshii are you kidding? Literally Everyone is basically revived like Saiix Ansem Xehanort Marluxia and Larxene. Its gonna be dope

[@motionisdead9796]

​@@jokulle77 And that's the problem. KH2 was kino af, because you had a 3 stage boss fight with Xemnas, which had a cool setting like The World That Never Was. It was also free from tying up as many plot points as KH3 has to to proceed further. It's also largely the Osaka Team that is in charge of making KH3, so while there are people from the old team working on KH3, they might've taken a vastly different direction towards it. Nomura did say that the development was based on KH2, but I still have mixed feelings, and it'll be hard to top this KH2's final boss fight.

It's we shall go together. And it shows that xemnas shows that can't win after all these fights so if he is gonna die he will take sora and Riku with him.

[@betaHaze]

I just love how this fight was like Sora needs Riku's help or they are doomed . Every moment Xemnas tries to take advantage of sora and Riku is like back the fuck up. Kh3 says Sora is weak and vulnerable now but never really shows it. While this is when Sora is like full power and Xemnas is beating his ass. I love Kh2

[@johnpantag472]

For real though. Sora fought xemnas like 4 times in kh2 and it took him a while to beat him. Them in ddd he lost his power and took on xemnas ansem and young xehanort without getting tired. How?!

[@Phyllion-]

​​@@johnpantag472big difference between 2 and 3 is that Xemnas was powered by Kingdom Hearts during KH2's fight, while they're still trying to open it in 3. So it's no wonder he seems just as strong in 3, he's fighting weaker versions of opponents he already beat.

[@andymejia5456]

There was nothing more satisfying than being a kid and beating Xemnas after the 100th time fighting him. It took EVERYTHING IN ME to beat him lol. Mainly for the reason I didn’t know you could add abilities to sora (Ik Ik). I basically beat Xemnas with an ability-less sora. This Final boss fight has to be one of the best Final Bosses ever, when you fought him, you could feel the lingering doom that waits for you if sora and riku isn’t able to beat him. Also the fact everyone you fought with is somewhere else and all you have is your long lost best friend who you now have to fight alongside, with all your heart. It gave somewhat of a comfort in the darkness that was all around you.

I've been waiting over 10 years for it. I hope they don't delay it again lol

[@roxas6953]

InbetweenGamer The reason it took so long because they had to switch to Unreal Engine 4. But Nomura said that if we keep saying there gonna delay it he is actually going to

@@roxas6953 ....ehem.

[@imaghost2961]

If Sora and Riku don’t get to fight like this again in Kingdom Hearts 4, I’ll cry. Legit, I’ll be absolutely fricking devastated.

[@LmtMj]

Kh2 Sora would demolish kh3 Sora

[@lMixedPandal]

I agree

[@super-engineer8437]

I highly doubt it but ok

[@LeRandomBro]

Absolutely not, not even close

[@drizzitdude]

I soundly agree. Maybe KH3 sora would have a chance due with ultima weapon form spamming but compare that to sora using final form and I think the choice is clear. Also why the hell did Sora FORGET he has two hands and can wield a keyblade in both? Seriously kid wake up.

[@ninja0329]

@@drizzitdude all of sora's drive forms in KH2 except limit needs party members so against KH3 Sora who can activate his keyblade transformations almost any time then it's obvious who wins.

[@DoffySama]

these two have such great character arcs. Going from being secluded on an island fighting each other with wooden swords to taking on a master of darkness launching a barrage of ethereal blade laser beams at you and both are able to deflect every single one and perform combos in sync without a word of communication with each other. Perfect fucking teamwork. Reminds me of Naruto and Sasuke vs Momoshiki in the Boruto Movie.

[@JohnDoeZer0]

it is naruto and sasuke...Growing up watching naruto and playing kingdom hearts they are so similar. The dark vs light.

[@RipsharkTV]

Xemnas’s voice actor is godlike

[@franknmyrhh6454]

Waay ahead of its time for a PS2 game.

This recording goes perfectly. Absolutely seamless. Tells a story in itself.

Water's heart was boiling uncontrollably. You'll have to add many requests until it successfully round trips. Our mind remembers how much it needs to be randomized each day. Consistently balanced everywhere you go combines forces like an ocean. As long as your poems are available we have a great chance to invite each other to the best places we can find. Start jumping off the beachhead, I survived, you have to survive. The water was slightly rippling, clear and indistinguishable.!!!!!!

[@dzigayu4944]

Still one of the coolest boss fights in gaming history, the choreography and spectacle had no business going this hard.

[@CelestialReturner]

Street Fighter III Fans: Parrying Chun-Li's Houyoku Sen. Kingdom Hearts II Fans: Hold my Keyblade. 3:12

[@stormclouds4291]

0:05 Sora: *gets grabbed by the neck and threw into air* Riku: aight, lemme walk

[@lordtesla9538]

God knows how many time I have replay this part of the game...this scene lives rent free in my mind.. I wanted so many times to be alongside sora and riku

[@Khalith]

I still remember this fight, especially that moment where he immediately grabs you. “We shall go together.” Oh shi-

[@trfandom250]

Iconic, I remember every single moment of this all these years later.

[@evanroldan9566]

4:01 Sora must've said "This one's for you Roxas"

[@RickyStall]

Wow that 60 fps *drool*

[@puckett183boss]

That laser deflection with sora and Riku is epic

[@TheBronf]

man riku took such a beating in kh 2. his wrist was still injured before he turned into ansem after his fight with roxas. and hew took serious blows from xenmas for sora.

[@hafizhmukhlis9487]

Still a better boss battle than KH3

[@literallyastickfigure]

Thus fight alone topped KH3's entire game

[@kylinu1608]

is it me or this scene is badass as much 3:08

[@pmgvictor4625]

3:11 I had never mashed so hard in my life for one moment.
