Reacting to every Kingdom Hearts trailer ever

[@rustyshackleford6633]

That commercial with the kid asking the computer about Kingdom Hearts is what sold me on the game as a kid

[@Khjaden97]

I think that was Hailey Joel Osment 😂😅

[@ExaltedUriel]

​@@Khjaden97It sounds nothing like him though, I don't think he had grown out of his voice at that point

[@maratkucherina9950]

Same. I was like 7 and was all DISNEY?!?

[@theffxfan1061]

I remember having a demo disc of ps2 game when i received my ps2 for christmas in 2005 it also had a demo trailer for kh1 on it which immediately sold me on wanting to get it so my dad brought me to (equivalent of blockbuster in canada) Videotron to rent a copy of the game of which i lost so he had to pay the fee then like a year later i found that copy again and decides to finish it, it was one the best experiences of my life, i thank Kingdom hearts one of the best parts of my childhood!

[@kurimiaisukurimu]

Seeing some of the KH2 footage that wasn't used in the final product like Donald freezing himself and the trio fighting off those Neoshadows was super trippy wow. Even the shot of Axel smiling after Roxas brings out the 2 Keyblades was slightly different.

[@Gamelover254]

Fun fact, that was the voice of Mark Hamill in the second commercial! Also he says “you’ll never know who you’ll run into next.”

[@SarahKey]

I didn’t know that was him! That’s really cool. Luckily a trailer plays later on in the video that has clearer audio and I was able to decode it hahaha.

[@Gamelover254]

@@SarahKeyAh lol I’m not even halfway through 😆

[@Beercorn86]

IIRC, “You never know who you’ll run into next” is a tagline that appears on the back of the original PS2 box for KH1.

"I remember my first experience with KH1, but I don't remember my parents purchasing it for me" intro to a time travel predestination story where sarah goes back in time to gift her younger self a copy of kingdom hearts, to ensure the legend of keyblade sarah is born

[@KingOfHart34]

Random fact, to this day, the way the BBS trailer randomly cuts to Mickey wailing at 29:56 is embedded into my brain, I mimick that sound pretty much every time I hear someone say Mickey Mouse. I'll never forget that 😂

[@celfhelp]

i was in 8th grade when that first commercial came out i was so enraptured by the imagery + music that any time i heard it come on the tv, i'd sprint to the room no matter where i was in the house since KZbin didn't exist yet and there was no way to watch it a billion times like i wanted to got the game and a ps2 for my birthday a few days after launch even though my parents *hated* me playing video games FUCK take me BACK still gets me GOING

[@marcelineflowers]

The kingdom hearts 2 commercials are the most memorable from my childhood, super nostalgic to see

[@Aisubun]

"Hit us with the Simple and Clean again" and it's clearly Sanctuary

[@GalaxyJakeYT]

Lmao I noticed that 😂

[@C4DNerd]

Oh wow, I have never seen those "community trailers" for the HD Remasters before, those are super cool!

[@redlox2]

aw yay Sarah!! we love you and Kingdom Hearts!! we are all starved for Kingdom Hearts content so we are here for you!!

[@ExaltedUriel]

Yeah, a lot of the scenes you "don't remember" were in fact cut. In the KH1 beta trailer it's blink-and-you'll-miss-it but you can see Sora walking through Disney Castle, which you never visit in the actual game. As well as the scene of Riku on top of Big Ben, and Sora confronting Riku on the island where you fight Darkside, etc. You'll also notice Donald and Goofy are in their standard outfits instead of their actual Kingdom Hearts ones. And in the KH2 commercials, the scene of Roxas chasing the Dusk through town never happens, as well as the scene of Donald freezing himself, and that was indeed part of KH1 Hollow Bastion you saw. Old trailers and commercials like this are a treasure trove of seeing things that were cut from the game or changed between development and release. The only one of these commercials I remember for certain seeing was the Days one, my parents actually bought KH1 for themselves solely because they were huge Disney fans, I had just been born. I must have seen at least one KH2 commercial because I know I wanted it, and I remember seeing an in-store display for it.

[@thogameskanaal]

8:16 “What's the deal with Kingdom Hearts?” We're all gonna spend a lifetime seeking an answer to that question...

[@IglisFlame_YT]

I loved watching this! I'm very glad to see these older commercials for Kingdom Hearts, I never really looked for them so I've only seen the ReMind, Melody of Memory, Missing Link, and KH4 Trailers on release. I would very much like to see another part to this for the KH3, Dark Road, Missing Link, and KH4 trailers :>

[@ShirouBrando]

"Whats the deal with Kingdom Hearts".... Kid you better take a seat this is gona take a while

[@Sora4Eva101]

@7:37 SAME, it was the first KH ad I'd seen and I remember how I felt while watching it so clearly, I was so mesmerized. KH (especially 1) is so mysterious and just has this air about it that's kinda hard to put into words, but it's wild that you can sense it even through such a simple lil ad. I knew I HAD to play it and I'm so glad I did. Also very thankful for this particular trailer because I'm pretty sure it's the only one I ever saw, and without it I would've never known the game was a thing ❤

[@LpDodo]

You can really see how much the trailers have gotten better from like 1.5-ish onwards!

[@shahariachowdhury2405]

Ngl your the one who keeps my love for kingdom hearts I've lost the passion for it since dreamdrop distance as from that point on I personally haven't vibed with its story ever since. But you reminded me the passion I used to have for it and the litle love that I still have for the series even now after all my grievances with it so thanks Sarah.

[@aoto8897]

29:17 I love Ventus’s theme. They used it for BBS trailers back in the day a lot, which made it more memorable to me.

[@reduwu7602]

The trailer for 2.5 remix at 1:21:38 is just so good. When that came out, I watched it so many times, the music choice and the editing. Goddamn it's so good.

[@mysticgoon]

"I am thirsty for Kingdom Hearts" lmaooooo. I was not expecting to watch two hours of kingdom hearts trailers today but I did and I enjoyed every second. If you are in the mood to make Kingdom Hearts content it would be super cool if you made a platinum trophy video on re:Com and BBS like you did for Melody of Memory because those streams were really fun. Love all the content you've been posting anyway.

[@KeySpyMaster]

There's just something so incredible and exciting about reliving the trailer hype cycles for this series. We actually just finished uploading all the KHIII trailers on the KHDatabase YT, and so I sat down to re-watch them all, and it was just so exciting again. Watching this video also got me excited (even though I didn't see almost any of these trailers at the time they released). I don't know what this rush of energy is, but it comes everytime with all of these. Hope you do the KHIII trailers next!

[@Pika999]

Yay more Kingdom Hearts content! And YES I would LOVE to see you rewatch the KH3 trailers, those STILL evoke emotional responses from me even though I've seen them a bunch of times. I love Kingdom Hearts! Kingdom Hearts and Pokémon are my two most favorite video game series and they both hold a very special place in my heart! They are also special interests of mine (I'm autistic) and I fixate on them both all the time. I made my first friends through those two series and I always say "My friends are my power!" Sora is my favorite and I cried when he disappeared at the end of KH3...KH3 made me cry a lot actually. From Sora's breakdown in the Keyblade Graveyard to Roxas and Xion coming back to the Wayfinder Trio finally reuniting after so long...I think you get the picture. I hope we get more KH4 news soon, I need to see more about it, especially what's going on with my boy Sora! I hope everyone is trying to find him, not just Riku and Kairi 🥺

[@SarahKey]

Kingdom Hearts is also my special interest! I feel you!

[@Pika999]

@@SarahKey One of my greatest Kingdom Hearts memories (other than making friends through it) was definitely Christmas 2018 when one of my younger brothers got me a life size Keyblade! It was the PDP Kingdom Key and I still have it (though I've swung it around so much the teeth of the key have fallen off and had to be duct taped back on). I also have a Sora crown necklace and a KH3 Sora short sleeve hoodie from Hot Topic, so I would run around my house with my Sora gear and Keyblade quoting Sora all the time...I also have brown hair and blue eyes like Sora so that's a fun little bonus XD

[@Depth217]

6:47 Mark Hamill’s narration is so cool!!!!

[@MarauderVN]

"Somehere out there's this tree with star shaped fruit." Damn, I wish I was exagerating but I watched that commercial so many times on my psp that I have the entire trailer memorized word for word even after all these years

kh3 got announced with that initial first trailer, with sora in twilight town and the heartless swarm during e3 the kh3 stuff in that 2.5 trailer was just a little teaser, it was long after the game had already been announced

[@SarahKey]

Ahhh got it!!! I definitely remember that first trailer.

[@MrGamer07100]

32:21 The moment some super fans realized a new boss was present that wasn’t in the original Japanese BBS. :p Yeah when 1.5 and 2.5 was coming out, it was a special time/release. It was a big deal for several reasons. I was all over these community trailers. It was probably the beginning of knowing there were other fans like me. Lol Disney was also having a bit of a video game renaissance at that time. A remake of a Sega Genesis Mickey Mouse classic. Castle of Illusion. And NES Ducktales being remade. I am a grateful owner of the 2.5 Collector’s Edition. Even Chi and Union X debuted around this time. Seen the vast majority of the trailers back then. Many were uninterestingly too similar. But that’s how it was.

I died a little inside when she didn't realize that was the secret ending haha. Love it. That E3 2.5 trailer is so good. My favorite.

@@SarahKey Oh thanks for the clarification. I was like ain't no shot she forgot about the legendary secret ending haha

[@johanseth3277]

It's really insane that the first trailer for KH has half the render of Dive into the Heart with the choir cause in game it's the upgraded chipset from the Super Nintendo Era for the music to render. Also after the KH2 was over The fandom always think every trailer is about kingdom hearts 3 😂. (I know how pissed everyone was when.they watched the Dream Drop Distance trailer cause 3 was dropped first before D )

[@OrangeTrailBlazer]

It’s crazy we have games like Genshin impact, Honkai Star rail, Final Fantasy after all this.

[@CaptainCJ97]

Crazy how much different kh1 trailer is to it's final version. Oddly enough outta all the trailers kh2 and a little of days hit me the most in the feels even tho i wasn't a fan when kh2 came out

[@hunterthedisneylover5805]

Recoded has the best command deck gameplay in the series, not to mention worlds like Hercules where the gameplay changes completely. Very underrated.

[@M.A.D.C.J]

That first kh2 commercial got me so emotional cause I remember it so vividly and I remember the first time I saw it and I screamed at my parents saying and asking to please get it! Cause I never beat the first one all the way but my friends did and told me the ending lol. I’m now 28 and have played every game. 😢❤

[@Droozydancer]

My hyper fixation has been KH since 2002 and I’ve reached the point where I google Kingdom Hearts every single day, just to make sure I don’t miss anything, and sometimes all I do is sit and stare at my phone and yearn for more KH content! Always so glad to see any video by you, and especially my favorite thing ever like KH. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@WrenchNinja]

Damn, youre making me feel old. I remember every single one of these trailers. Then again, I was 12 when Kingdom Hearts came out.

[@Depth217]

In hindsight it’s crazy how much the trailers for BBS or III would show. Like to be honest I would’ve not shown ANYTHING from the Keyblade Graveyard for III besides maybe Master Xehanort walking up. It’s not on Nomura though, he didn’t like that the last BBS trailer showed too much like from the Secret Ending and Final Episode and all.

[@TalysAlankil]

14:19 that absolutely is KH1 hollow bastion! (also i watched that trailer on a loop back in the days lol). a lot of the footage from that trailer got scrapped from the final game

[@KaiboStudios]

38:22 This forever changed the course of my life as a kid.

[@Venman382]

Back in the day without the internet available all the time, I would pick out games based solely on the covers at the store! I just happened to choose kingdom hearts chain of memories one day and was BLOWN AWAY by it! I didn’t even know that the first game existed and that it wasn’t a card game series! I was shocked to find out that it was an action game! I’m so happy I got it though and started my many year kingdom hearts journey!

[@Depth217]

12:03 yeah, I remember one of the primary III trailers focused on Disney and then at the very very end it had Xehanort like “oh yeah here’s the original plot I guess”

[@sasuke017]

I love everything about this video! The fan reaction videos made me want to cry. I seriously can’t wait for KH4!!! ❤

[@castle3267]

Well that isn’t how kh3 was announced lol, kh3 was announced with a trailer of Sora holding up master defender

[@kingleonidas2182]

It’s kinda funny, if you cross your eyes a little bit then all the low quality trailers looks perfectly fine.

[@ianluzdub]

I found your channel a bit before you had to change to Sarah Key. I was searching for KH reactions and yours was the first i ever watched and to this day, still my favorite. I understand this ''obsession'' with KH because i'm exactly like this with Michael Jackson. When KH4 is released, i'll be here the minute i finish my own playthrough.

[@barsabe]

This is actually a genius idea wow

[@ionamorwenna5564]

Begging people to give Re:Coded a chance. As much as I love Days, Re:Coded is genuinely my preferred DS KH title. They improved on the Days gameplay so much and while yes, the story is mostly a retelling of KH1, gosh the final act is so good. While I was typing the comment you got to 3D and I absolutely agree, Dream Drop Distance is better on 3DS in my opinion.

[@i5rrxxgaming350]

There was an interview from cast members when they were doing kingdom hearts 2.And keep in mind it’s really old footage so that quality isn’t good and you should definitely react to it

[@ItsHoro]

I believe you missed the 2008 jump festa trailer for kh BBS. IMO It's one of the more interesting ones as it alludes to a very different story! :)

[@SarahKey]

AHHHH I'm sad that not every trailer was there but perhaps I can watch them in another video!

[@kainex4898]

Kh3 was actually announced alongside FFXV when they changed the name. If you do rewatch the kh3 trailers you should watch the interview with Nomura in the 2013 e3 showcase

[@BondforgedSky]

This made me so nostalgic. I used to rewatch many of those trailers all the time in my early teens, when I got into the series. Definitely would love to see you react to the kh3 trailers again, as well as watching the other Union X, Unchained X, and 2.8 trailers ( yes, there are other trailers for those games ) Also, I would absolutely watch you react to the Xeno trailers. Have strong nostalgia for those too ( especially the trailers for Xenoblade X )

[@DatFrznNrd]

Hit me right in the nostalgia, i loved seeing all the old ads

[@EdgardoJCruz-dk5kv]

5:08 - 5:17 I still find it wild how that KH1 beta trailer quote, "Thats right Sora. Your body, your heart, and your whole existence...they're all going to disappear!", foreshadowed both Young Xehanort saying a version of it and what happens to Sora in KH3's ending. Even if it was unintentional.

[@Shayanzass]

no man, it referenced him turning into a heartless in KH1, the next line going "lets save sora" , the heartless part was probably going to be longer

[@reignvanvoorhis3273]

Yes, do the KH3 trailers please! That was such a magical time. I mean it all was, but the anticipation for KH3 trailers was unmatched. Also there were 2 other 2.8 trailers including the reveal that I think you should watch. Love the video! It's really helpful during this KH drought (aside from Missing Link) lol

in case you don't know in the original early version Kairl was supposed to take over after Sora saves her and you would play as kairl trying to save sora and riku for the rest of the game that's why in the Japanese trailer there's lines like come on we got to save Sora

So that little taste of Young Xehanort and Eraqus chatting wasn't actually how they announced KHIII, they announced it with a short teaser back in E3 2013. HOWEVER, if they HAD announced it with the ending of that 2.5 trailer I genuinely think that may have been even cooler.
