KINGDOM HEARTS TIMELINE - Episode 135: Extermination Complete

[@everglowKH]

► Kingdom Hearts Timeline playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLhcSrKyqhfh4IUovnvR0tRrii_EDTckdk All of the KH3 part is recorded from the PC version. Using specific mods was the only way to achieve what I've been wanting to do with KH3 for years. Custom musics, custom party members, custom abilities and new battles re-created specifically for the purpose of delivering the definitive KH3 experience. And this could only be achieved thanks to the impressive work made by modders. As in the usual Timeline format, the gameplay parts will be summed up, and the orchestral versions of the soundtrack will replace the standard ones for most of the time. This is on Proud Mode, as I need Sora's allies to stay alive as much as they can. As always, I aim to showcase entertaining boss battles, as well as letting Sora have his amount of "troubles". According to schedule, new episodes will be released every 2-3 days. Here's a list of the mods used in this episode. Huge thanks to the people who created them! • KH3 Modloader [by yurilewd] www.nexusmods.com/kingdomhearts3/mods/938 - Here's the extra music added in the episode. Again, thanks to the people who made them in the first place! • Unforgettable [by Infinite Rivals] kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3rOY32XqcmBaJY ••••• - Explaining the Kingdom Hearts Timeline project - As many of you already know, the Kingdom Hearts Timeline project started back in April 2018 as a way to prepare all of us for the release of Kingdom Hearts 3. What is the Timeline project? Basically, you'll see all of the story events as they chronologically happen. Which is seemingly easy to do, but...if you're familiar with Kingdom Hearts, then you know the series is so full of flashbacks, callbacks and retcons, and it's extremely easy to lose track of them. I always like to think of the Timeline as an experiment. I wasn’t sure if it could be a welcome one but, somehow, it was so well received that it exceeded my expectations. The original 2018 Timeline was just a way to re-live all of the Kingdom Hearts titles leading to KH3, in a different, yet familiar way. I never had plans to go back to it, as I was fully aware of all the flashbacks and callbacks that could be added in the future titles. I don’t really like the idea of uploading new, fixed episodes every now and then, as it would just confuse all of you (and, more than anyone, myself!). But I've seen so many requests of seeing this project to be continued that I decided to go on with KH3 in a special way. I can’t stress enough the purpose of this project-this doesn’t want to be the best or the perfect way of experiencing the Kingdom Hearts saga. All of the titles should be played following their release dates. The Timeline is simply an alternate way of experiencing the story we already know and only players who already played the games should watch it. New players would be spoiled about some plot points, so be warned. This project gives you a different perspective on specific events, and the adding of new musics, flashbacks, callbacks and secret reports, makes the whole experience even more unique and immersive.

_"Time to Reach Down and let the Scare out!"_ Love the subtle nod to _Monsters University_ and another reason why Nomura saved Monstropolis for KH3. Finally it was sweet that "Uncle" Mike covered Boo’s ears while she also cover her eyes when Sulley roared at Vanitas and captured Vanitas just so that Boo wouldn’t get scared again like what happened in the original movie.

[@EChacon]

If Sulley can scare Camp Officers in _Monsters University_ then he can definitely scare and surprise a Humanoid Unversed from Organization XII and sending him back from where he came from. Also Yeetus Vanitas.😂

[@mgormley7530]

Yeetus Vanitus and Woody's Brutal Mic Drop really are the best parts of this game

[@kyleaustin4182]

It's still weird to think that this game is when the characters finally started learning info we the audience have known for years. Between Terra having been possessed by Xehanort and Ventus's heart resting inside Sora's. I mean, we all knew that for, like, 9 years, but they only just learned it here. It just feels strange to think about that.

[@OathKeeperRiku07]

No one knew what happened to TVA for 10 years, only Mickey knew the fate of them and only now SDG learned Terra is one of their 13 vessels, which DDD confirmed. The journey would be no fun if they learn everything

[@kyleaustin4182]

@OathKeeperRiku07 I get that. I just still think it's a little strange that it took 9 years (our time) for them to learn it all.

[@BlaxeFrost-X]

Seriously, the Pixar worlds are peak Kingdom Hearts

[@dragonbornexpress5650]

I'm not sure if they're the actual peak considering KH1 is easily right there, but it's definitely close. (Closer than KH2 by a mile.)

[@BlaxeFrost-X]

@@dragonbornexpress5650 KH1 was good too, but it's still retellings of the original stories, I like this pseudo sequels that feel as good and have all the budget and freedom to add characters and events, and the interactions with the organization, I like all that very much. KH1 was good, but the places were empty and the stories were not free to deviate from the originals that much. No interaction with the Kingdom hearts side of the story too, just the disney events.

[@dragonbornexpress5650]

@@BlaxeFrost-X. No, KH1 mostly just did it's own thing. Some of them were close to being retellings, but usually had some KH original material mixed in. (For example, the thing with the Keyhole in Agrabah or the Hollow Bastion tease in Deep Jungle.) Hell, some of them like Monstro or Neverland did the opposite: Putting the Disney stuff in the backseat while the KH original material was at the wheel. (Mainly showing Riku's gradual descent into villainy and Sora trying desperately to get through to him only to fail.) You're getting it mixed up with KH2, which DID largely do retellings of the movies despite the Organization visits.

[@BlaxeFrost-X]

@@dragonbornexpress5650 Monstro and Neverland are good examples, yes, but it's not really the level of Integration that KH3's Pixar world have, as you said, disney takes the back seat. Agrabah and Deep Jungle feel like an inbetween scene from the originals with not much going on, except that it ends with the villains doing mostly the same thing they do in their originals, so not even a good retelling of events and more of a retconing of events to fit kingdom hearts. These ones do neither, they perfectly fit between or after the movies and have a very good central integration with the plot from the game. Xehanort experimenting with bonds and hearts, Vanitas trying to get a good amount of negativity and getting ventus back, while also showing off the main movie character's charm, getting them involved in the main story, they are not just THERE and their movie original stories are untouched. I love kingdom hearts 1 and I think kingdom hearts 3 it's kinda meh, but I do think those world were done masterfully while kingdom hearts 1's were okay at best

[@dragonbornexpress5650]

@@BlaxeFrost-X. That's fair enough. I think we can both agree that KH2's way of world integration was incredibly half assed for the most part. (Mind you I DID like that game, but I'd be lying if I said there weren't multiple points throughout my KH2FM playthrough where I was internally asking "Really? THIS is what you guys love about this game?" over and over again, and the way the worlds were integrated into the KH original material was one of those points.

[@orionkellman8801]

I hope you don't take this the wrong way, Everglow, but I feel like you should update your mod list in the descriptions. After Olympus, you've only ever stated to be using Modloader, but it wasn't really clear what you were using it for; it's not a mod that can be used just by itself, after all. Looking through the videos again, I deduced that the other mods you're using at this point are Dynamic FOV by Cherryjiraden, and Expanded Shortcuts by Yurilewd. You should provide links to those mods as well.

[@everglowKH]

The mods list will be updated as soon as more mods will actually be used, no worries, it's just that most of them will be used at the end of the game, when I played with multiple characters. Until now, only the modloader mod has been used, which basically allows me to use an internal menu for enabling technical stuff, like instantly going back to the title screen for my recording needs. The two mods you mentioned were not used, I already have a list with all the mods I used and everyone will be properly credited in the next videos (just like the extra musics) 🙂

[@orionkellman8801]

@everglowKH Oh, I see...! Well, alright then!

[@everglowKH]

No problem, any help or suggestions are always very welcome!

[@orionkellman8801]

@everglowKH Well, now that you mention it, there's one scene that's been on my mind since you started the KH3 portion of Timeline. I don't know if you can say anything about it potentially being "spoiler" territory, but I gotta know. Do you have anything planned for Kairi and Axel's Keyblade training? That's something we never got to see in vanilla KH3, and there are playable mods for both of them at this point, so I've wondered if that's something that can be recreated. I could imagine it being akin to your playable Xion segments in Days, especially her visit to Destiny Island and her boss against Axel.

[@rmsgrey]

Everyone, take note: Sora cannot be allowed to go to the Realm of Darkness until he masters the Power of Waking! (yes, I'm still salty about this part of the plot)

[@harrysgirl101]

Yeetus Vanitas! 😂

[@Isiel42]

I actually don't mind that we didn't fight Randall. He seems more like the type to craft up nefarious schemes to do away with his foes rather than to fight them himself. It really fits with his design and personality as well. I get the overall disappointment in not fighting more Disney villains, but in this specific instance, it fits him to a tee, imo.

[@OathKeeperRiku07]

Kingdom hearts isn't this fighting just Disney villains, it started that way, but evolved, now balance it or not just make it fighting Disney villains, some don't even have powers like Randall and just having them just fall to darkness would cheapen some of them

[@Isiel42]

@@OathKeeperRiku07 Agreed. Usually it's a healthy mix of both, but in KH 3's case I think it's a product of which worlds they chose. With Hans and Gothel, they really couldn't do much else other than what they did with them, and it would've felt a bit strange to just randomly fight Pete or Maleficent for no reason so we're left with what we got.

[@OathKeeperRiku07]

​@@Isiel42 I think years of whatever people done with fan mediea has polluted people on we need every world we have to fight Disney villains, the threats are the heartless and actual enemy groups that's not just Maleficent and group of Disney villains, this ain't house of mouse

[@EChacon]

@@Isiel42To be fair Randall in the original movie did fight and used his invisibility to his advantage when fighting Sulley and almost was on the point of killing him twice if it weren’t for the interference of Mike and later Boo during the door vault chase where she bonked him in the head with a baseball bat. It’s literally Pixar were just to restrictive with Monstropolis and why we didn’t lay a keyblade on Randall. It’s also a "double edge sword" considering we fought Oogie Boogie as a boss when in the actual movie, Oogie wasn’t a fighter and only relied on utilizing his traps against his enemies, but once the traps are defeated/destroyed or avoided Oogie’s last resort is to flee and escape which is what he did until Jack tore his thread. The only Disney Antagonist that I didn’t mind battling as a boss was Cutler Beckett from the second and third _Pirates of the Caribbean_ considering in the films he wasn’t a fighter and only relied on his men of the East Indian Trading Company, his Hitmen Mercer and of course Davy Jones and the Flying Dutchman (while in possession of Davy Jones until his death) doing most of the work. Other than that it’s a good thing we got to fight Davy Jones as a boss and didn’t went the route of Randall.

[@Isiel42]

@@EChacon Yeah, I get that. I'm more upset that we likely never got Zurg in the Toy Story world at all for the same reason. I would've loved to fight Zurg over the UFO boss. Would've been amazing to have Buzz obsess over how Zurg must be the cause of everything only for everyone to realize after the fight that he's just as caught in it as the rest of them are.

YEETUS VANITAS Did the PC version always make him clip past the door？

[@takodacorliss5838]

Oh also fun fact, given this is a timeline thing. Monsters at Work confirms that KH3 is canon to the Monsters universe since a meltdown happening recently and causing things to be faulty is important to a good chunk of the first season. However, and this is what confirms it, there was no meltdown when Mike and Sully took over the company at the end of Monsters Inc, meaning that something must've happened in-between Monsters Inc and Monsters at Work to have caused things to be faulty..... which Kingdom Heart III fits into perfectly since the game's Monstropolis world takes place after the events of the original movie and is a factory meltdown, thus causing things to be a bit faulty. And considering PIXAR were heavily involved within the making of their worlds, chances are that this was intentional and KH3 Monstropolis is canon to the Monsters Universe, which makes this the only time a world has directly been confirmed canon to the original movies. The more you know!

[@EChacon]

⁠ I respectfully disagree with you, _Monsters at Work_ and _Kingdom Hearts III_ stories are set in different universes and continuities despite both being set after Monsters Inc, because in _Monsters at Work_ Johnny rescued Randall first just hours or a day after Randall was banished and took a beating from the trailer family compared to _Kingdom Hearts III,_ where Vanitas who actually came in and rescued Randall first from the Trailer family, created a portal for Randall to escape and return to Monstropolis. Another thing that makes KH3 and _Monsters at Work_ story be set in separate universes is that during the season finale of _Monsters at Work,_ Randall escaped prison and remains at large so in the event that Mike and Sulley do see Randall in _Monsters at Work_ it’s going to be much different to how _Kingdom Hearts III_ handled their reaction. Granted at the time, _Monsters at Work_ came out in 2021 just two years after KH3, the showerunners for the show originally said that Randall wasn’t going to come back but now five years later after KH3 and Randall did made a comeback in the series and showed Johnny rescuing Randall first instead of Vanitas, it nullifies KH3’s story of Monstropolis so I consider both KH3’s story of Monstropolis and _Monsters at Work_ to be set in a different universe/continuities from each other same can be said with the Big Hero 6 TV series and San Fransokyo story in KH3 being set after the movie but in different continuities

[@EChacon]

Besides takodacorliss, Monsters at Work had a different development team and not developed at Pixar.

Oh, I’ve been waiting for this video because I’ve had one of a few questions since this game came out . How did Vanitas know that Ven’s heart secret refuge into Sora for 11 years ? He was temporarily reduced into balls of light and sparkles before that happened . But then again, this is kingdom hearts and everything‘s been confusing since birth by sleep . Also yeetus Vanitas will never get old .

[@OathKeeperRiku07]

Likely he feels Ven within Sora, but of course he can't get to Ven as easily with his body missing, so he's going to go to his heart, and where is his heart In Sora, plus Mickey knows Ven is in Sora, at the time no one knew where Ven's heart went, thanks to the adventure in the Datascape, put two and two together Vanitas , the Vanitas we know, is brought from before his end but he is still incomplete with his "brother"
