Why Kingdom Hearts 2 Was the Perfect Ending For The Series

[@TBTxTBT]

KH is such a fascinating series and I like the focus that each game has. KH1 focuses on the Heartless and the Disney Villains. KH2 focuses on the Nobodies led by Organization XIII. BBS on the tragedy of 3 Keyblade Masters in their struggle vs the Main Antagonist. I do wish the overall plot and story weren't so convoluted and messy. Despite its Disney-Magic silliness, KH1's plot with the Heartless was the easiest to follow. After that, everything became MORE AND MORE absurd with each game. KH2 is still GOAT-ed for me, and I especially like all the original characters that series has (Sora, Riku, Kairi, Terra, Aqua, Ventus, Vanitas, Xehanort and all of the members of Organization XIII).

I got very lazy with the editing, i apologize. It is very tedious, or should i say.... "TIDDDDUSS"

[@1BadAssArchAngelvs14]

i do not mind kingdom hearts continuing besides the concept of kingdom hearts nobody's was always going to get expanded on explaining who their human selves were before becoming nobody's in the first place.if you can complain kingdom hearts 2 was the ending then remove the nobody concept completely to get your ending conclusion, in my opinion nobody's should not exist since it started this double body mess.

[@noxasorsomething]

@@1BadAssArchAngelvs14 I agree that the concept of nobodys is interesting, and that the double body mess is a whole can of worms. But they could've had it set to where Xehanort was destroyed completely after the nobody and heartless versions were destroyed. I don't hate the other games, but i just personally think ending the series at 2 would have been a more satisfying ending. If we were to make a compromise i would say at least end it with 3. I think BBS is very interesting, and i loved the lead up to 3 before the game came out. But KH3 itself had one of the most unsatisfying endings I've ever experienced. Every problem in the series gets solved in like 30 minutes at the end of the game, and then they basically forgive Xehanort for all of the evil things he's done. It just feels rushed and not satisfying to play through at all. I think the idea of the realm of fiction is interesting as well, and i'm hoping they do something very cool with it in KH4. I want KH4 and the rest of the series to be great, but after 3 my expectations are very low for what they'll do.

@@noxasorsomething The thing with xehanort is that he lost all his keybalde wielder friends to darkness, in xehanorts own reality xehanort should of just let go of the past and move forward instead of trying to reset both light and darkness thus plan on resseting all of the worlds with the X-Blade keyblade to get his old friends back.

[@anim8edn819]

Agreed. I stopped playing the series after I beat 2, and have had no urge to pick up the series since then. I have a friend who continues to play the series, and listening to him explain it makes me so happy i quit early on.

Kh1 -> com - kh2 is basically a perfect trilogy which doesnt get TOO off the tracks, showcases a wide emotional spectrum (roxas and namime aaaaaa), and generally ends on an easy and uplifting note. Hell, keep days around and just remove the ventus tease

[@Tulsy_Grape]

Kingdom Hearts is the kind of game you're supposed to come for the gameplay and stick around for the story. I came for the gameplay and stuck around for the gameplay.

[@noxasorsomething]

I agree, the KH2 boss fights added in Remix are especially fantastic. Critical mode as well is a ton of fun

[@Two2three3four4five5]

W yap sesh (I’m even more confused now)

[@noxasorsomething]

My favorite comment so far

[@rollisonyoutube]

Xion, Axel, Most main characters in BBS: (but yeah ignoring everything they put in the final mix version of 2 this would've kept the series less tangled in its own plot)

[@ZaiDrizzleDrop]

BIG AGREE

[@rosies69]

I really hate nostalgia people. Kh2 was my first kh game. I love it. But I'm not gonna let greed and hate blind me. I love kh3. You think its ok sora, riku, and kairi goes home and that Aqua is still in the realm of darkness? Terra still with xehnaort? And ventus still asleep? How selfish can you be? And don't get me started on khux. All those kids died for the war. Damn. These kh fans are starting to be so selfish. 😊

[@SittinGamer]

I mean if the series ended at 2 or even days, none of those loose ends you mentioned would even exist to remain loose.

[@DaybreakTownGSA]

​@SittinGamer so if the story ended with Days, then they would've already opened Pandora's box with the kh2 and 2fm Secret Endings showing off Terra, Aqua, and especially Ventus. Even if you remove those, Days itself also teases BBS with Xion reflecting Ventus's image when Xigbar looks at her. And even then, is the idea that Roxas doesnt deserve to be his own person (as it was left off at in kh2) and that Xion remains forgotten really satisfying? Its a tragic ending, and tragic endings can be satisfying, but for the kind of story KH wants to tell, and with the themes it explores, does all that really track?

[@DaybreakTownGSA]

​@@SittinGameralso! With the introduction of Master Yen Sid, we know Keyblade Masters are a thing, and can infer that there's some kind of process or lineage for keyblade wielders, and one would have to wonder how Riku forged the kingdom key while being stuck on an island his whole life And, there's also that Apprentice TerraNort, as said in the Ansem Reports, was able to open the door to Radiant Garden's heart.....something he would likely be unable to do without a keyblade. Which opens up its own can of worms regarding keyblade wielding societies

[@Howardpower679]

No It had too many plot points left out Namine and roxas fates sucked

[@noxasorsomething]

Roxas and Namines fate did suck, but that was kinda what made their fate interesting. Two characters who were never suppose to exist, and them having to come to terms with that. When Roxas talked about his summer vacation ending it would break my heart. I'm incredibly glad they both get a happy ending at the end of 3, but i wish they would have taken more time with it or something.

[@Caseyuptobat]

Bro you can just admit you don't actually like the franchise, you don't need a 5 minute copium fueled soapbox about it.

[@noxasorsomething]

I love the franchise, I've bought every game and played them religiously. I think the game play is great, and KH2 is one of my favorite games of all time. I'm not saying the other games are bad, i like BBS and was really invested in their fate leading up to 3. I just think ending the games at 2 would have been simpler. KH3 had one of the least satisfying endings in my opinion. It wrapped up all the characters problems towards the end of the game in what felt like a really rushed, half ass way. Characters that had been though hell like Roxas, and Terra were just all of a sudden chilling. I love the series and think the first few games are incredibly charming. I'm just making a silly video, poking fun at a few things and saying that it would have been simpler to end the series at 2. It would have felt satisfying, and been easier to understand.

[@paledrake]

KH3 just kinda sucked and wasn't worth the build-up of every game that came chronologically after 2.

[@Mozethe]

I love the gameplay but the story is cheeks.

[@noxasorsomething]

Cheeks in a slightly interesting way. I love the KH original characters, but nothing takes me out of it more than seeing mickey mouse show up in a trench coat talking about "The Door to Darkness".
