Also, I have a playlist! If you want to watch the rest of my suffering, then here's where you can check the rest of the vids out kzfaq.info/sun/PLhJ52A3u3IgIjdVFzBpsfaiSpchHyKa1Z

The drop meter isn't as bad as youtube people say it is

The fact that this video gave me more information about the mechanics of how DDD works when it wasn't even the focal point of the video compared to every other video I've seen of this game is just insane. Mad props to beating this game, I would never dream of attempting to do this.

Thanks for including my Kingdom Hearts beat on this video man :)

Hi, I speedrun this game on lvl 1! I certainly won't argue it's not the worst lvl 1 run, it's pretty rough, but for those curious there are a few things that can be done to take the edge off. -Drop bonuses are huge. Magic or Attack Gain lvl 2 or 3 make a huge difference in your damage output, especially in early game. Grinding droplets as Riku is really easy once you've beaten The Grid, the turrets in that room before the boss give a lot with the reality shift. -Status effects can go a long way. Slow and Confuse in particular are very useful on mob fights, and Slow is useful for a few boss fights too. It's a lifesaver on Commantis. -You can cheese Spellican if you have enough Collision Magnets. You're welcome. -For all of Riku's final fights, before you drop to fight Xemnas, you can grind so that Riku will have Overcast after the Xemnas fight, grind droplets for Sora to have drop bonuses, and then since the game doesn't give you a chance to drop after Xemnas those drop bonuses go right back to Riku. Only have to grind up that lvl 3 magic or attack boost once for all of final fights. In any case, congrats on the dub! Getting through this game on lvl 1 at all is no small feat, hope KH3 treats you better.

1. Saw a crazy video about a niche kingdom hearts game being beaten at level 1. 2. Find the playlist of the KH games beaten in this method. See that it's chronological. 3. Immediately check if they did a 358/2 days run. 4. Dispair

40:55 This right here is why Kingdom Hearts will always be my favorite series of all time. Excluding the mobile games, I don’t think any KH game is really “bad” or “terrible” it can be brutal and frustrating for some challenge runs at Level 1 or on Critical. Yet, there still enjoyment to be fond on what mechs really worked and just a overall perspective of these games now post Dark Seeker Saga.

Literally just watched the whole playlist today. You have my subscription and all my likes, man. Your voiceovers, the pace of the videos, and editing are great. Excited to see how you develop as a creator.

Glad to have you back MNIJ your KH vids are awesome and your insight to a lot of the mechanics were new to me can't wait for more of this series.

I did this no balloons on 3DS and PS4, and yes Ansem 1 was torture. Young Xehanort on the 3DS was sheer luck due to the fact I needed Spirit Roar and Haste permanently. Oh yeah, one kind of each command too. 37:28 Misconception : you don't need to attack him to get the Reality Shift to appear, it appears on its own for a split second.

Here as one of those who has in fact played both TWEWY games. DDD got me interested in Neku and the others, so I wanted to try their original game to see what it was like. I started the original DS version, but ended up fully playing through the Switch version(and also played NEO on my Switch). And in doing so the first game of the two became a genuine contender for my favorite game of all time. It's easily in the top 5 at least. Anyone who has a Switch and the money to spare/some other way of trying the game like borrowing it from someone, I 1000% recommend giving TWEWY a shot.

Pro Tip: The Dream Eater minigames you can just enter it and immediately exit it to get the EXP needed for them.

This man makes GOOD quality content I love your videos man can’t wait for the kh3 run

I can’t believe Neku and everyone else where so popular that they got their own game series

Amazing video once again broski 😘 But also where’s the Lv.1 Julius fight 😈

WOOO ANOTHER KH VIDEO ! been hyped for this one

Love your kh level 1 series. I have enjoyed watching it while I passively grind riku to max level in kh:recom. I decided to do a platinum trophy run of all the games

love this video bro. keep up the great work. instant subscribe.

Another great video keep up the grind

25:58 I just realized: This ice section is a lot like the invisible snow from the End of the World

It is INCREDIBLY funny they even bother giving you high jump in the game with the most broken flow motion of all time

Happy to see the new vid 🎉

Most ppl r indifferent abt it, but I actually love the drop/sleep mechanic.... Also TWEWY!!!!!!!!! MENTIONEEED!!!!!

Awesome!!! Awesome work!!!

I played TWEWY for free with a jailbroke iphone and i loved that game. Been waiting for someone to tell me the sequel is good and you may have convinced me brother

Man the first part of the Ansem fight is such a pain in the butt, you can at least use flow motion to dodge a lot of his attacks in phase 2

Crazy seeing the strategies others take to clear their own level 1 runs! unfortunately no Ultima or Unbound hijinks, but still a wonderful video and experience overall! Good job. I totally forgot Firaga Burst for my own run.

I'm a simple man: I see TWEWY glazing, I drop a like and a sub

when i was playing this game, if i had trouble (except for like 2 bosses one being the time stop shit) i realized that i just wasn't abusing flowmotion and commands enough

Great videos, I'm looking forward for the kh3 lv1 run.

Such a good Video with great editing I really thought you were a big KZfaqr! Thumbs up and if you stay so you will be big in no time !

Yet another Josh video that has saved my life 🙏

Another banger of a video. Can't wait for KH3

dont shame me into playing TWEWY i'll get round to it eventually I PROMISE !!

man i feel your pain with these bosses.

Subbed just for force recommendeding the twewy games.

i’m so proud of you babes

The fact that anyone could complete the level 1 run is insane to me, I've never played on critical but I vividly remember doing so little chip damage in mob fights that I thought it was impossible 😂

Can’t wait for the DDD level 1 no hit video!!

I looked it up and apparently lord Kyroo can cast sprit roar at level 27

That second visit to traverse town boss was the hardest fight for my lvl 1 run

The world ends with you is amazing, even the sequel. . And Shoka... My god Shoka is top waifu

Finally. Now, we feast. And wait for III.

I feel like after BBS, the balancing/critical modes for the game is much harsher, specially 3 cause of people complaining how easy it was on proud

A small youtuber doing a level 1 run of kingdom hearts? Im about to have the feast of my life

Oh yeah the streets been waiting on this banger

Remember playing this on the 3ds. It was a nightmare to play flick rush

I was crazy thinking damn I haven’t seen Josh in a minute

Bro. I can't even beat normal beginner mode... SPELICAN ID THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE

Fun fact some DDD bosses can stagger, the way stagger works in 3d is like the reverse of revenge value where, after a certain value is reached, the boss will stagger. Xemnas is special as his stagger value is stupidly high and guarding his attacks reset the value. Link attacks and shock/double impact are extremly effective against Xemnas. Do not ever trigger the reality shift against Xemnas, you only harm yourself because xemnas becomes unstaggerable and becomes more aggressive for little benefit. The reason reality shift wasn't appearing is because of the moves you chose to use. It seems moves like sliding crescent (or whatever rikus was called) give reality shifts more often. Fun fact young xehnort can be easily and consistently staggered. All you have to do Is hit him twice with something other than a counter or sleight (dependent on sleight). Also slide roll isn't that good, it turns your dodge roll timing more into parry timing, good to rack up that stagger value if you can time correctly.

Also hate the spellicant too. Especially on it's rematch.

I've had Dream Drop Distance since 2012 and it's been the only KH game where I never beat the Critical Mode because I found it so frustrating especially compared to other games and it wasn't until recently I decided to retry the game on Critical Mode and it was better and worse than I remembered. The beginning and especially The World That Never Was are easily the worst parts of the game so I can't even imagine the pain of a level 1 run. That being said, mainly due to Union X's ending I did grow a bigger appreciation for the Dream Eater system and constantly swapping them around was pretty fun to experiment and get more out of it.

Lol my first playthrough of this game i got dark roll and barrier through drop rewards

I started this same run yesterday and UGGGGGGGHHHHH

Wait a damn minute…. How come I still had my drop gauge as riku in the world that never was????? I always wondered through my playthrough what would happen if I dropped back to sora as he was in super sleep. Idek that that wasn’t supposed to happen.

bro didn't beat 358 nor recoded 💀

Every one reply what your favorite command in ddd is not including baloonaga mine is shadow breaker

Level 1, Critical mode, No flowmotion attacks, only tutorial spirits. Sounds like hell.

Are you playing Dream Drop Distance on PlayStation? Is it possible to play it on PC too?

Ummm you can instantly quit out of the mini games but still get the benefits that exploit has existed for ages.

Around 3:56 Talk to me about this being a nightmare after you 100% this game *4th times.* The first 2 on 3DS because like a DUMB ASS, i deleted my 100% save file by accident. The other 2 ones on PS4 another one on PC... Could i have downloaded a completed save file? Yes, but im a prideful idiot, don't follow my example and download a 100% save file of DDD. I love the story of the game, and i enjoy a casual playthrough but what you went through here and my 100% are not sane ideas. P.S: This video gave me PTSD that made me remember that i did this playthrough too on the 3DS version... Have i mention that im insane?

Do kingdom hearts 3 next

FULL TWEWY VIDEO WHEN???

Have you done re:coded and 358 yet

I did proud mode lvl 1, I beat it but NEVER EVER EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!

I know what did wrong. You didnt spam ballon

one day there will be someone suicidal enough to do level one crit no dream eaters i have no clue if thats even possible because you can kill off your starter dream eaters but i imagine itd be absolutely terrible

Honestly this doesn't seem that hard to do level 1 if you just get as many balloonaras/agas as you can

I'm so sorry you had to subject yourself to this but hey welcome to the "Thank God We Never Need to Play DDD LV 1 Ever Again" club. We unfortunately do not provide therapy for your Rinzler, Spellican, and Ansem related PTSD.

Wait boy stop lieing I beat ddd on beginner when in my first play through I am playing a critical mode play through now you don’t need to play the game in proud mode for critical mode

Pokeshit

I'm not sure why this is a hot take, but DDD is by far my least favorite game in the KH franchise. Even BBS and 358/2 are preferable, imo.

bro skipped 2 games

you are overexaggerating lmao

That Symphony of Sorcery cutscene is so good ugh ...
