Kingdom hearts in a nutshell

PokeFreaxx Mickey honestly glew up this game. He was about to use time magic to stop the wave of heartless before yen sid appeared then he used his time magic against Xehnanort. It should have honestly worked but square Enix loves to bullshit Mickey out of wins

Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggity dog!

It's gonna be funny any time a character threatens Mickey Mouse lol

This might be silly but I actully kinda dislike that. How the KH series completly ditches Parents in general without explenation. normally in a series they atleast give an explenation why the parents are not around and when they are around its honestly pretty awsome. I am a fan of the Digimon Anime (with the german dub) and the main protagonists in those have parents and there interactions are great. In KH well Soras mom is heard once and Sora mentions "the grown ups" once but aside that they dont seem to exist and Sora never showed to give a dam about his parrents. Its not just Sora. Eraques is not the father of the BBS trio (also not really Terras father I think) so what happen to Aquas and Terras family and how did they end up in Eraques care? Then there is Union X ore however its called. I am not that super familiar with it but if I am not mistaken there is an entire city of Keyblade wielding children that go on missions fighting monsters on a daly bases and eventuly go to war to kill each other. And (correct me if I am wrong) they just dont seem to have any family at all. Hundrets ore even thausands of children not having any family with no explenation. Its actully pretty creepy and unatural. Compare that to the Eliatrope children. Yeah there are ten thausand of children with no parents, but they had parents and they explain how they died.

i thought that ever since destiny islands went to the darkness that their parents just became heartless and that was that

Yep. I missed it at first because in KH they constantly call themselves by name. ^^

Xion was a replica, an living incarnation of the memories Sora held closest to his heart, and since most of those memories revolved around Kairi, Xion physically resembled Kairi and was like an imperfect clone of her when Roxas and Xion were forced to fight to the death for domination of their existence, Xion lost and disappeared, not just from existence, but from every one's memory, no one rememebered she existed till now

fir xanza Whoosh

fir xanza *facepalm*

@ the reason sora freaked out about riku so much is that riku was in danger for a whole year. Kairi was in danger for maybe a few days. In fact kingdom hearts 2 literally shows sora thought about Kairi. For example in Halloween town when he saw Sally and Jack dancing he imagined himself and Kairi in their place

- How was Xion brought back? - What happened to Sora when he vanished? - Why did Aqua space out for a moment during the Demon Tide fight? - How did Ansem the Wise get Namine's vessel? - Why did Kairi get caught so easily? - What actually happened to Kairi when Xehanort struck her down? - How did Sora bring Kairi back? - What's Leon and the gang up to? - Who could Luxord possibly be? Questions that did not count, I take it.

@@binkyboy448 It feels like they just intentionally cut those answers from the official game instead of expanding the content. A friend of mine told me that the answered questions of the DLC weren't worth that much money...

@@Garmagic2yFhenrakh9 Well the DLC wasn't just for answering questions. It's like the Final Mix just you don't have to rebuy the whole game. Re:Mind Episode answered some questions and focused on the side characters. The limit cut episode had like 5 minutes cutscene and while answering something it also teased new future scenarios and some questions, but was mainly for the 13 hard data boss fights like in KH2. It had'nt much story, yeah, but gameplaywise it was a lot, because every boss had a completely updated moveset. And it brought back FF characters. And at last the Secret Episode. This was a boss fight like the lingering will in Kh2. It is the MOST difficult boss fight in the whole series. It answered one question I guess, but asked like 5 questions more x'D. It really teases a lot of things coming in the future. So what I want to say is: This DLC wasn't supposed to give us only answers. It was supposed to be the Final Mix version offering fun with some more story, and a lot of hard boss fights with teases for the future. So, if you would play it *only* for the story, it wasn't worth the money.

@@teufelsschnitzel8708 I like your non biased answer. The problem is that the kingdom hearts is already a heavily story driven series. That's why you can't help by feeling more or less disappointed.

Honestly I think it’s an illusion or hallucination his mind created because of ptsd… But if it wasn’t that would be bad… good thing he has Kairi.

​@@peckyjr-sx7et hm no that is really happening to him, as we see at the end of the DLC/base game he in fact literally disappears from their world/maybe does not return with Kairi. It's the price he has to pay for misusing the power of waking to retrieve/revive Kairi after Xehanort effectively kills her. It's also probably going to lead into KH4 in which Riku goes to try and locate Sora.

Rick Chop disagree, I much preferred Leonard Nimoy’s Xehanort

Keenan Sartain the statements are not mutually exclusive. You can much prefer Nimoy’s (as I agree with and do), while still feeling Lloyd does a great one (which I also agree with).

Blame Disney on that. Majority of KH3 was a Disney marketing fest. Because of that, the DLC was probably the only way S-E was even able to put any Final Fantasy, Yozora, or even the setting of The World Ends With You (Subarashiki Kono Sekai) in at all. Like KH2, I have a good feeling in the possible KH4 we'll be seeing more S-E stuff.

The Shibuya in KH3 isn't the TWEWY's Shibuya .

Don’t worry, we’ll get them in April.

@@KingNazaru It kind of is with many alterations, just like the many Disney worlds in all the Kingdom Hearts series. So we can only assume it is the TWEWY's Shibuya since the main landmark the 104 building based on Japan's 109 shopping center respectfully.

@@DLCMan1218 watch melody of memories

@@DLCMan1218 There are two endings. If Sora wins then Yozora will disappear and he (Sora) will get transported to the Final World. But if Yozora wins then Sora will get crystallized and he (Yozora) will get transported to the Final World instead. But I don't get it whether it was Yozora's dream or not.

The crystal effect is sora being put into stasis. This comes from the FF crystallis saga (FF13 series plus a few others) which is what yuzoras game is based on (FF versus 13). In that saga, when one goes into a deep stasis sleep, they are crystallized. Also, the confirmed canon ending is sora winning. Was found in the game files.

@The Great Spaghetti careful throwing stones in that glass house. What an awful opinion

Bad Sneaky Bear Because Nomura was too lazy to add more contents, so yeah it is predictable

Yeah it’s bullshit. This whole DLC should’ve been free or part of original game bc it’s barely new content and it’s essential story content. I can’t believe they make you go through the graveyard scenario AGAIN when they already did more than once in the original. True endings should never be DLC let alone paid content. That should only be for extra side stories. Lazy cash grab.

@@daviddaaannggg Just like with Final Fantasy 15. They'd probably do it with 7 if they haven't split it up into parts.

DesignIncase agreed. sick of SE putting out these incomplete story games. I’m ok with FF7 being in parts if each part feels like a full game and fleshed our game bc it’s set up the expectation that it’s made to not be the full FF7 story. KH3 and XV are supposed to be their own complete thing and are missing so much character development and story arcs

Magnus Von Braun SE develops the games, not Disney. Disney just owns the property and oversees what they approve of their characters doing

Dude, the KH lore being confusing as fuck is literally a plot point in KH3

Are you referring to Lea's comments on how much there is to memorize? Because that's coming from an in-story character that was only there for part of the action. The players don't have that excuse.

@Cloude non Forgive me for not being able to take your complaints seriously. I don't even know what you're on about regarding KH1's ending, and I have no idea what you find so confusing about Xehanort's motivation to take the reigns of the World out of an over-inflated sense of self-importance stemming from a power-hunger that went out of control. Please take note that you're not speaking for everyone when you call the lore confusing, because plenty of us get what's going on just fine.

@Cloude non Wow, you're right, Xehanort thinking he knows better than everyone else and so changing the whole world to fit his ideals and screwing everyone else over came completely out of nowhere... to everyone who paid no attention to any word he said that wasn't "Keyblade War". We knew dang well he wanted to use the X-blade and Kingdom Hearts to create a new world based on his own idea of "balance" since BBS came out. Or rather, we should've known, but a portion of us were apparently focusing on who-even-knows-what at the time. All Kairi did was restore Sora's human form from his Heartless form via their hearts' light connecting. It's that simple. If you're thinking that should've negated Roxas being a thing, I have to ask you; why so? All the lore is available in multiple forms, including repeatedly-released bundle packs, and can easily be taken one step at a time. Nobody's forcing anyone to process huge chunks of it at once. Actively avoiding a game in this series is the would-be player's own fault. "Oh god, why is so much information about the story locked away from me in a FREE-TO-PLAY mobile game!" Refer to my original post on this thread as to why I've long since been rendered incapable of taking these so-called "critics" seriously. An element can be outright and blatantly spelled out right before their eyes and their heads will apparently explode trying to understand it.

@Cloude non Because Roxas and Ventus a) didn't exist even as Heartless and b) didn't have a friggin' Princess of Heart connected and reaching out to them. You're comparing apples and oranges here. If you actually did those "over 5 hours" all in one go, that's what I'd describe as "slaving away". Normal people would just do however much they feel like doing when not doing other stuff, but whatever floats your boat. Again, there's absolutely nothing substantial preventing the availability of that lore. Not everyone needs to "pull up a wiki every 5 minutes". Some people are capable of actually retaining information when it comes up the first time around and easily combining it with what's already known. Speaking of, you should know dang well how Roxas was made to exist again. An entire subplot for both the heroes AND the Organization was devoted to that. You have no one to blame but yourself if Roxas's new replica vessel seriously came out of nowhere from your perspective. Friggin' Goofy pointed out how Xehanort was able to pull off himself, Ansem, and Xemnas all existing together in real bodies of their own. That's right; GOOFY paid more attention to what was going on than you apparently did. (Though, to be fair, Goofy notices a lot of things like that). Xehanort's method of time travel is unable to change history. Sora used something entirely different. And it wasn't even just him; it was the force of restoring all those hearts that "reset" the Keyblade Graveyard, and then it was Namine, separated as a heart from Kairi for a time, who managed to call out to Terra's Lingering Will. There were SO many things going on that have jack to do with Xehanort's temporal piggybacking. Sora being able to come back is NOT a story inconsistency, and it's both depressing and infuriating that you'd claim it is. All Chirithy said was that he'd disappear from the real world without any means of returning. So, what should we take from this? Sora can't come back ON HIS OWN. Absolutely nobody said he was dead, that's you pulling things out of YOUR rectum.

Imao it was all content that should been adding on day 1 release.

I wonder if this is the same Chirithy that was Ventus's familiar back when he was still part of union x

Now I’m even more confused; how was Ven part of union x? Didn’t that take places like a long time before BBS? (Never played any union x stuff; just watched back cover)

@@lucleadergaming3487 it was mentioned that Ventus travelled a century in to the future, but he forgot about his past as a result presumably, he also forgot the fact that he could use a Keyblade till he met Xehanort

@@lucleadergaming3487 It does, but one of the Masters, Ava, had a contingency plan and Ventus was part of the group who took part in it, called the Dandelions. Issue is, he lost his memories when the contingency took effect...and then he ran into Xehanort. also Marulixa’s Somebody(or someone who looks a lot like Marly’s pretty ass) was part of the Dandelions too

@@zafool4997 hummmmm... was marluxia supposed to be Lauriam ?

im starting to think those dark infernos were darkness previous forms before they cast themself to become incorporeal form

Sora is by far the strongest of will though. When he despaired and lost once, he literally altered fate at the cost of his own existance just to save them.

So true

Probably because he had a feeling he needs it for the fight against the MoM eventually even though he didn't know about him.

@@TheHeroBleeder in other words, plot line bs

I mean the wild card is like 33% that it would go well for him. Like another 33 for the bad things, another 33% for all the small things that wont help him at all and the 1% nothing happens. I mean i am clearly not in statistics but the percentage of this card being good is rather small. And no one knows what the card will do, not even Sora.

Dr. Strange told him there are 14,000,605 possible outcomes, but only one when they succeed. Sora's following the outcome that will let him come back, so he has to wait.

vang-tou Lee first time bro?

xion (the word) also sounds like the waves hitting the shore ○_○

wenzhiquan Absolutely right. The game mistakes plot/lore with story. The theme I think Nomura was going for was “Connection,” the idea that our bonds with people keep them alive and close even when they’re gone (foreshadowing both the returns of the lost heroes and Sora’s own fate). We see this theme echoed in both the heroes and the villains. Xehanort’s Organization of “empty vessels” collapses because ironically, his attempt to sever the individual members’ from their hearts only resulted in them forming new ones through the new memories/bonds they made with each other. The “X” scene in ReMind shows Nomura is in fact aware of the nuances of his own story, but he evidently does not know how to present them other than through oddly-placed exposition dumps. Where Nomura ultimately failed in his Mark of Mastery exam is 1) he did not find a way to unify the individual plot threads into a cohesive narrative, 2) he did not find a way to integrate the story with the gameplay. For a game which is about “connection,” ironically all of its pieces are disconnected. It’s heartbreaking, because I really believe KH3 had the potential to be something special. The characters (let alone the fans) deserved better.

the only storyline i can feel any connection to is sora/kairi and i guess riku its all just so scrambled from kh1

@@Stanlyy. I agree with the Strelitzia thing. People were quick to "confirm" a popular theory because it held up well. But my theory doesn't hold up nearly as well and there aren't many ways for it to make sense, just like you said. I just find both of them to have resembling personalities. This is added with the fact that the organization chose Demyx as the 9th member, and like the other members 9-12, originated from the ancient keyblade legacy. These are the only 2 things that back up why I think Demyx is MoM, but it's much easier to give points disproving it and I'm aware of that. However, just like Demyx himself says, his biggest "power" is that absolutely nobody suspects him. That's why he was able to help Vexen with the replicas, and that's why he (MAYBE, just my thoughts here) can walk around as MoM without anyone knowing.... without us knowing......
