people often say that org 13s motives were retconned in DDD however those people fail to understand 2 things 1 xehanort in all his forms is a manipulative bastard who tells people what they want to hear so that he will have unwitting pawns to do his bidding like terra 2 if you lost something that was important to you wouldnt you trust someone who could get it back the whole thing about org 13 reclaiming their hearts was just a ploy granted xehanort doesn't show up until bbs but if you remember his obsession with the X blade the keyblade war along with how underhanded he is it makes perfect sense xehanort didnt care about being honest and xemnas wanted to keep the fact that nobodies regrow their hearts over time a secret so that the rest of org 13 would follow him and by extension xehanort without question an example of this mindset is shown in dragon ball where frieza used sayians as hired muscle to conquer planets while hiding the fact that he was the one who wiped out planet vegeta otherwise they would have turned on him

best game in the series hands down, one of the best action games of all time

[@OniLink96]

Sea salt ice cream was something served in Japan's Disney World, if I remember correctly. Tetsuya Nomura, the series director, tried it and liked it and decided to make it a staple of the series. Might be off on some details. When I played KH2 the first time, I thought James Arnold Taylor did Jack Sparrow convincingly enough. I played KH2 more recently, after watching all of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and all I can hear is Obi-Wan Kenobi. You've also said that the door at the end of KH1 was Kingdom Hearts itself twice now. That's not the case. The door was just that. A door. Kingdom Hearts was behind it. Nobody in the series has properly interacted with Kingdom Hearts yet. The closest thing we've gotten to it is it being *shown* near the end of Birth by Sleep. I always felt like the second visits to the worlds ruined the pacing of KH2. To me, it always felt like something akin The Wind Waker's Triforce quest. There's a lot of momentum built up and then the game just kind of stops it flat. Annnd the battle that happens between Roxas implies that Roxas never physically appeared in The World That Never Was. Donald and Goofy said that they didn't see anybody there. The scene that plays out between Axel and Roxas isn't a flashback either. It's Axel and Roxas' consciousnesses meeting one last time before fading away. You also kind of gloss over Riku having a Keyblade at the end (but then again, so does the game) and Namine being Kairi's Nobody. You mention the later briefly, but never really touch on it enough to really explain. Sorry for the long-ass wall of text that you probably won't read. xD Just typing out some thoughts as I watched the video. As a longtime fan, it's fun to nitpick.

[@arbeen2k02]

To be fair the only way to know the story of Namine is by reading the ansem reports

[@7777souleater]

I'm... kind of surprised you didn't bring up that if you die at a boss battle, sometimes Mickey will come out and you can play as him to bring Sora back to life.

[@PhazonOmega]

5:26 There are pictures behind the two characters that depict Roxas with other members of Organization 13 and Sora. Neat!

[@MrDarksol]

I agree with Ant, 2 is my favorite game in the franchise and that is why I was so pissed when Final mix came out and we never got it until years later. Either way, yeah SE went insane after 2 because we get another inbetween game for Roxas to remind everyone that his life sucks, a game that has no reason being there, a prequel that makes me question everything and a game that screws Sora over big time. And now four prologues before we get KH3...... stop dicking us around SE we want a Kingdom Hearts 3 already!

[@shawnjavery]

I'd argue that every kh game had a good reason for being made. I typed a defense for each game for each games' inclusion so far as story goes below, but if you're talking about gameplay I'd like to point out that there was a rather long stretch of time where SE kinda sucked at making games for the ps3 and kh3 would have fallen into that time period. 1. Days gave characterization to roxas and Axel that was needed for them to be returning characters, as KH2 both had them have complete character arcs that ended with their deaths. A bit of a retcon, but Roxas basically had the same thing happen to him that Sora had in CoM, so it wasn't entirely far fetched of an occurrence. 2. BBS was necessary from the secret movie in kh2. Also there were some details that needed to be addressed from kh2, like what happened with the coup against ansem the wise and the back story about kairi as well. Explaining things about the keyblade was also required at some point in the series, as you can only keep it a mystery for so long before people get disinterested in it. 3. coded was a well tuned game that foreshadowed a lot of future plot points. Plus it kinda served as a Catharsis for the audience, as the finale is one of the better ones of the series. Plus it is one of only two games in the series that ends at a place in the story that could be considered a resolution. 4. DDD was kinda needed to set up Kingdom Hearts 3. The ending of KH2 had really closed off a lot of the lose ends of the series up to that point. The other games set up audience expectations for the next game but narrative wise, as two were prequels and one was tangentially a sequel, some work had be done to put the actors in place for Three. Also some concepts had to be set up that will be important to three. People complain about time travel being an overly convoluted addition to the franchise now, but it would be so much worse if it was introduced as a concept in three.

[@CampingforCool41]

MrDarkSol It pisses me off we had to wait so long for final mix because in my opinion on it improves the experience vastly. The Roxas battle alone makes it that much better, but then you get tons of new optional bosses, a couple new keyblades, difficulty mode, and an awesome new drive.

[@traviscondren2783]

I'm really enjoying this retrospective so far! I seriously can't way for the next one and for BBS since both of those were pretty decent games imo.

[@AntonioAcai]

358 may be my favorite story in the series, but I will consider it a spin off since it's a prequel to Kingdom Hearts 2. Fun, right?

[@bandicootsauce4569]

Wait. Sora with a Dark Santa costume? WHY DID I EVER DISS THIS GAME???

[@jbcatz5]

I actually think the prologue works because like Sora, Riku and Kairi on the Destiny Islands in the first game, we’re seeing what a Roxas considers to be a normal day. We get to know him before the rug is pulled out from under his feet and like all first time players get confused at the fragments of unexpected and conflicting backstory, wondering what’s going on as Roxas’s Twilight Town and his own certainty begin to break down. The simple desire Roxas gets from sitting on the station tower and eating sea salt ice cream with friends, and the happiness he gets from it are shown later in the game to reflect his relationship with Axel, and indeed how he enjoyed life with Axel and Xion in 358/2 Days. By seeing what these characters consider a happy or normal day we know what the grand schemes threaten to cost them and we as players become invested in wanting the status quo back. When things go so badly the status quo can not be repaired or recreated we feel that sadness with the characters The end of this game does provide a return to what Sora, Riku and Kairi have been fighting for, a chance to hang out as friends on Destiny Islands, with the benefit of greatly maturing both physically and mentally. Having been out among the worlds their appetite for adventure is sated, and any mixed signals and unhealthy rivalry is gone. Lives, memories, souls and hearts have been put on the line but this trio is finally home again, and all in one piece (and at least three other pieces for Sora, as well as one other for Kairi).

[@bigbadfox9917]

Idk if anyone else agrees but I think KH Coded was just not necessary, to me it just didn't add anything to the story, I might be missing something but all it said to me was they're people you need to save and these are their names, the thing is we know that already so what was the point? Also I'm talking about the Ds version so that added cutscene involving KH X didn't count until now but still they could've just left it

[@CrazyCactuar42]

Yeah, it was basically just to bridge the gap between II and 3D. All it did story wise was reveal the contents of Mickey's letter.

+ErrorGaming didn't he go to the realm of darkness in birth by sleep? I mean how else would he know sora's name in that cutscene?

[@SaberToothPortilla]

Well, I guess the idea is, when the machine exploded, the implication is that he went back to the realm of darkness, whereas with Axel, he literally burned up. We'd later find out he wasn't exactly dead, but we had every reason to think he was gone.

[@nintendolife25]

[@SumptuaryFive5]

Just realized how Tetsuya planned the story every step of the way, it shows with the KH2 secret ending, everything he did was all part of something greater, every cutscene we wouldn't understand, a game came out to explain the story behind it, specially with birth by sleep. BBS was a crucial in KH story, and it amazes me that it was already in Tetsuya's head when he did KH2.

[@jbcatz5]

I had more issues with actual navigating Atlantica in Kingdom Hearts 1 than simply moving Sora around. Trying to get to the dolphins meant clearing the area of all enemies because you couldn’t use triangle react commands when in battle mode. Thankfully Kingdom Hearts 2 rectified this so that if you find a big chest you don’t need to defeat all active enemies to get to open it.

Can you do the ratchet and clank future series

[@RoxasVSAqua]

hey dude! thank you so much for making this video! highly appreciated! i know it must've been a lotta work but thank you!!

[@rubix3413]

I gotta disagree with what you said about the worlds in KH2. In KH2 the worlds had no personality and uniqueness not to mention that there was no need for the Hub World in Hollow Bastion because of the moogle shops spread about the worlds. On the other hand when playing KH1 every world felt like a new unique experience and they each had their own personality and atmosphere and Traverse Town actually felt like home, every time I would complete a world I would return to Traverse Town to spend my riches, upgrade my equipment, Synthesise new items, grind, return puppies and sometimes just to absorb the atmosphere. People complain about Deep Jungle and Atlantica being annoying horrible worlds but they are some of my favourite worlds in the series because they are both very unique and they do their own thing, Deep Jungle was fun to explore and I would always find new paths to get places and Atlantica had the currents which would drag you off to other areas in the map. Now don't get me wrong I adore KH2 but I felt compared to the first game it was really lacking in the worlds department. If you were to remove the music and throw a new coat of paint on the worlds from both games, I honestly wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the KH2 ones, while the KH1 worlds are unique enough for me to know what world I am in. The only exception to this in KH2 is the 100 Acre Wood and thats because it pretty much just replicated the KH1 world. However I still love Twilight Town (Not as much as Traverse Town though)

[@CampingforCool41]

RUBIX3 I agree completely. I like kh2 more for the battle mechanics and story, but the Disney world exploration sucks. They have no secrets. Kh2fm at least has the cavern of remembrance which is fun.

[@megathesimper4050]

RUBIX3 A lot of the world's in KH1 weren't good at all, KH2 had better worlds but not even by that much, I mean the world exploration in KH1 was annoying and confusing, and you got the really bad worlds like Atlantica, Neverland, Deep Jungle, And Wonderland in KH1, man those are the worst worlds

[@lpfan4491]

i never had a problem in atlantica and neverland except for the bossfights,but those suck in almost all worlds.what makes the kh2 worlds worse is that 90% aint even connected to the plot really.you wake up in a hubworld that sucks as a hubworld which aint really a problem tho because it disappears after you leave and you only go here 3 times.then you get another hubworld which is a bit better,but there still aint a reason to go here often,then we have the fillerworlds all over the place.then we get tron and hooray its finally a unique world that is actually connected to the plot like the original worlds.....too bad you dont go here nearly often enough and all you do is some minigame stuff,some forced fights and the bossfight.and then we are already at the end of the game. meanwhile,in kh1,the atmosphere is way more tense because shit is already happening and the worlds are actually connected through both protagonists AND antargonists.they even manage to connect a kh2 world(beasts castle) better than kh2 does it with the rest of its worlds.they even have more character connecting to the mainplot,like sora saying he wants to tell kairi he flew.it just sounds way more natural than what kh2 did

Catching my self reading these comments from 7 years ago it’s amazing how many people loved this game and it was there first kh game they ever played I love this series so much and it’s music hits home every time

[@IsaacAutumn]

I feel like they try wayyy to hard to be cool with all edgy characters and ALL THE ZIPS

[@Sonic8744]

Nah man. That's one thing I really appreciate about the KH series: that they never try to be "cool", JUST for the sake of it. Games like Devil May Cry, as much as I love that game, would go under that category.

[@Ziggaton]

+ErrorGaming it's still a fairly odd character design principle.

[@557deadpool]

oh yeah soo edgy...dumbass

[@Nova_Myst]

That whole game is a fairly odd design principle.

2 was my first KH game and is also my favorite KH game yet. Hope 3 will take that spot and so far.. It probably will. Thanks for the new video, bud! Can't wait for rest!

I really love the 1000 Heartless fight, but on the PS2 you can really see the limit of the system. Not sure how it is in HD, but if you are strong enough to get rid of alot of heartless at once, you can notice how only a group of maybe 50 Heartless are actually renderd. The rest are 2D images and cant be attacked.

"This has been a very VERY big mistake." That should be the tagline of the series.😂

I totally wish I chanted M-I-C-K-E Y-M-O U-S-E at the New World Final Fantasy concert in Tennessee when they played Sephiroth's theme. XD

12:20 I would LOVE to read a fanfic where someone points out the fact that their are Numerous Pantheons out there, each with their own Lord or Lady of the Dead to Hades.

20:53 You say you gotta shout Xaldin's name? That's rule number 3? Hah. Hahah. I get it.

By the way, I love the touch of you actually wearing different clothes when your future editing self is hitting his head off your desk.
