Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days - #3 - Seashells

[@bwminich]

I suspect Axel was all like "Man, I HATE babysitting. And I REALLY HATE babysitting Roxas. You heard that, right? I won't like it AT ALL if you make me hang out with ROXAS." And they fell for it.

[@MatthiasPendragon]

"They've been rebuilding." "Who? The citizens?" Precisely our question Roxas, where the hell is everyone?

[@roy4173]

Dan does an unexpectedly good Pete impression

[@AlexMiller-sd5vk]

Came down here to say the same thing. That Bingo was spot on lol

[@pyrosianheir]

She sells sea shells by the sea shore? Wait... Pete went inside the city, to find a secret passage, leading out of the city to the cave of wonders? Why not just.... walk out the front gate?

[@coastersplus]

There was a storm happening at some point I believe?

[@jameshart2622]

They didn't have the budget to render the sets?

[@AnAngryGranny]

Dan, your Pete impression is just about is second to none! For real when you yelled "Bingo!" I had to go back and make sure that wasn't a Jim Cummings clip

[@datanaral6031]

1:12 I lost it when Agrabah faded in behind that already beautiful Carrie edit. 10/10

[@Artista_Frustrado]

granted it seems Roxas doesnt interact with them, but im glad that the Disney stories so far seems to be their own thing instead of movie plots

[@AM-we1es]

Today, on Kingdom hearts: characters continue to bite the damn ice cream.

[@datanaral6031]

You want *tongues* ? You want them to *lick* their ice cream? Ain't nobody got polys for that. :'D We're already working with flat hair and square limbs.

[@samuelturner6076]

Alexandre Braga Margery I mean, although it’s called ice cream, and the actual Disneyland product is ice cream, it looks far more like an Ice lolly to me, so imo if you bite those you’ll still be eating them correctly.

[@AM-we1es]

@@samuelturner6076 "Even popsicles/ice lollies are to be licked" -The bible

[@samuelturner6076]

Alexandre Braga Margery Lol, idk man, if you only lick it then it’ll probably melt before you finish. I can at least agree with you on ice poles, biting those shouldn’t be done.

[@timothymclean]

What's so weird about that? I'm more curious about why they only take one bite per ice cream. Isn't that kinda wasteful?

[@callowguru2611]

I really like the character focus over the plot focus. Also, I can't believe how much content was cut for the cutscene collection.

[@brockmckelvey7327]

"Do we look around the palace so we can maybe get closer to the royalty and gain their trust?" "Nah, because nobody took the time to make that part of the level."

[@superbun277]

2:52 - "I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere." 14:21 - "Hold it up to your ear" if you listen REALLY closely you can hear a terrible musical number!

[@1000PaperLilies]

hoo boy, roxas' twilight town theme is probably my favorite piece of music from this series, but i get the feeling that if i played this game i'd never want to hear it again

[@timothymclean]

0:30: I know it's not plot relevant, but this kind of little character moment is so simple and yet says so much...shame it wasn't updated. 1:40: Have you considered unzipping your hoodie, at least a little? 12:00: This scene is nice; glad we get to see _some_ of Roxas and Xion's relationship development. I wonder why they left out the other scene...too jarring to keep such a short segment in the middle of stuff, maybe? 22:00: Wait, wouldn't babysitting Xion (who is newer _and_ doesn't have a well-developed friendship with Axel) be a better slap-on-the-wrist?

[@callowguru2611]

Love reading your comment reactions.

[@patricklewis4201]

KH 358/2 Days still my favorite storywise. Wish more folks gave it a chance, Days, Birth by Sleep, and maybe even recoded had better stories the KH1 and KH2. Not saying those were bad, the gameplay and character in the main number ones are great and story for them isnt horrible just could be better

[@TheNotoriousBTG]

The DS games were not bad. I even enjoyed Re: Coded, though 358/2 was better story wise

[@TheXython]

Can't tell if Dan's Pete impression is a great Pete impression... or a terrible McCree impression.

[@lemmingrad]

12:01 - ah shucks, Vector to the Heavens still manages to bring a tear to my eyes.

[@firefly1313130]

Your Pete voice is very good! You do a really good job in general too!

[@qwerty77772]

I do hope you show off the unique bosses in this game. Some rather cool Heartless appear in those fights. One should be coming up soon in Agrabah.

[@NPCMimic]

Man, I never thought I'd be nostalgic for DS era 3D visuals. I'm getting flashbacks to Okamiden lol

[@thegustbag]

It's nice that we get more character interactions in this game because it has such a focused scope. Characters are probably the best thing about KH...? I mean, sure, Sora is.

[@TheBoundFenrir]

oof, I had forgotten the faceplate images for the dialog in this game... 15:56 Aladdin, what did they do to you...

[@AM-we1es]

Honestly, I'd like the whole "mix up letters, add an X" naming scheme... if there wasn't half the character who's true names make no frenching sense. Axel. You have a e and l. Lea? Xion? What the hell do you do with i o and n?

[@jollyotter1998]

Lea is in fact his true name. Marluxia being Lauriam was a stretch, but that's recent-ish as reveals go. Xion is code for No. 1 for reasons that will be explained later.

[@timothymclean]

@@jollyotter1998 Oh, I was guessing either Oni or Ino.

[@jollyotter1998]

@@timothymclean I mean, Ino is a name in Naruto?

[@TheBoundFenrir]

That's a fun game to play with all of them, but good luck getting any right, some of them are real head-turners. Like Saix for example...s-a-i is not a lot to work with. On the flip side, you have examples like Marluxia, where there's too much to work with.

[@timothymclean]

@@TheBoundFenrir Ais and Isa seem the likeliest for Saix.

[@Lukz243]

Isn't that a coma or was he born by sleep?

[@samuelturner6076]

Luke Mileto (Flips on Sunglasses) YEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

[@Overhazard]

Day 26: Terminated. Roxas got fired already? That was fast. (Okay, nevermind. On the other hand, any time someone pulls something out of a pocket, I expect it to be a bar of sea salt ice cream.) At 25:50, Axel just called Pete a friend! Does that mean he and Roxas will share ice cream with Pete? Say, wouldn't it be in Organization XIII's best interests to assist Sora? If they want to get their hearts back, and there's someone out there relentlessly liberating hearts everywhere he goes, why does Organization XIII try to stop Sora?

[@jameshart2622]

Kingdom Hearts has plot holes, and it's not explained well, but I think in KH2 they say it's reverse psychology. Not the best writing, but they thought of it.

[@oakenshadow6763]

At least he acknowledges that Roxus is a kid. 1:46

[@timothystamm3200]

Dan has anyone told you you make a great Xigbar.

[@DINGOS30]

Dan's right 358 is alot more kh lore focused, why couldn't chain of memories be like this?

[@callowguru2611]

I like the idea that Xion is going to Atlantica because Roxas never does in this game.

[@lonyaidaniel]

Dan, at the end did you mean "Ya'll have yourselves an ice one?":)

[@PetelProduction]

didn't you skip the scene where roxas hear about castle oblivion to begin with?

[@krishnansubramoni7801]

1:10 That was beautiful

[@emilygordbort7300]

*_CLONG_* Hi yes i came here because i just watched the extra credits thing on choice paralysis, didn't know this existed but now i do so i came to subscribe to the guy who knows about games to watch him also play games Also *gott mitt uns your voice is way different without the filter*

[@TheNotoriousBTG]

Toasters exist in Kingdom Hearts

[@Slash-XVI]

Given that there is a large computer system managing hollow bastion, having toasters does not really seem all that surprising.

[@TheNotoriousBTG]

@@Slash-XVI Good point

[@jameshart2622]

Toasters don't have to be electric. You can build one out of wood or metal if you have a fire.

[@ImperatorPenguin]

I don't think the writers really understand there own internal logic... specifically the stuff regarding Nobodies and their status on emotions.

[@samuelturner6076]

drsdino it’s complecated

[@Duiker36]

There are writers!?

[@jon9828]

I do believe it's a case of unreliable narration that gets expanded upon at some point somewhere. Who even knows at this point. In my head i mostly just handwave the greater cosmology stuff. The greater picture story of KH has never made any sense. it's the smaller, more intimate, moments that are worth staying for imo.

[@samuelturner6076]

Thy don’t have emotions, especially at “birth” however as the organisations nobodies retain their previous memories, they act like they have emotions. And later on we learn something else that even gives more credence to them not having emotions but acting like it.

[@jon9828]

What's the point of them not having emotions of they're going to act like they have them anyway? Does it ever impact the plot in a significant way? Almost feels like something lost in translation or something. A connotation lost somewhere.

[@nathanjxaxson]

Actually, your Pete voice is pretty good!

[@bwminich]

Axel has the right idea in following Pete, even he doesn't know it. There's going to be a lot of Heartless around Pete anyway.

[@gathius]

Glad to see this is back!

[@GiantButterKnife]

I'm nostalgic for the times when characters actually died in KH.

[@adonaiblackwood]

Aww Roxas 💚 Axel 🔥

[@pinkwings8036]

[@naruarthur]

what is rtc... i already forgot D:

[@samuelturner6076]

More like an old new world imo, I’m sorry everyone but KHUX and it’s inclusion in practically every game has ruined Agrabaha for me, but if KHUX wasn’t so bad I’d probably still like Agrabaha. However I am glad we’ve started visiting beasts castle, one of my favourite worlds in the game.

[@timothymclean]

"KHUX"? ...Kingdom Hearts User Experience?

[@samuelturner6076]

Timothy McLean Kingdom Hearts Union Cross, basically theirs a terrible KH gatcha MOBA that was made for PC called KH X (x is pronounced key or chi for plot reasons you’ll find out later). It got ported to phones as KH Unchained X which then got a second expansion as Kingdom Hearts Union Cross (the cross is stylised as X). It’s a really terrible game with unethical gatacha mechanics but it has story relevance to the series. There are over 900 quests in the game and half of those ate based in Agrabaha, so I’ve grown to dislike the word.

[@the6ofdiamonds]

@@timothymclean I think he means Union X (Union Chi), while I know nothing of the gameplay, it shows (probably/maybe) characters from later games, like Larxene and Marluxia's orginal people (Somebodies)

[@timothymclean]

@@the6ofdiamonds ...So, it's something that would make sense if I knew more about Kingdom Hearts lore? Gotcha.
