I believe he meant to say, ".... more glue than materia."

Nothing hurts more than the truth right there

It's so true it hurts lmao

Cameo the game

it is not actually because he forgot that there is a weekend between now and release, so there are two days that you can play KH for 16 hours instead of 8

Amen

Wassup

Omg, nightsky prince! Gotta be dreamin'!

I Would rather hear your thoughts on the game after the official release for sure!

Honestly i feel like its the comments i have to look out for. Been spoiled more by comments.

Not if you got ZA WARUDO!!!

Omg its like the matrix

@@PasCone103Z CARE TO SPARE A HEART?

Thumbnails usually spoil it for me. Especially boss fight database. That’s why I’m going on a KZfaq blackout tomorrow

I'm sure it was. The way he talked about KINGdom hearts and kingdom HEARTS was totally in Young Xehanort's voice.

LtSMASH324 100%! Lol. If he talked just a tad bit slower he’d be an exact replica of YX’s voice.

@@dsiderreck6 yeah, this was definitely the goal . . . though the slower i talk the longer the video is lol, so i compromised

Kotaku haha understood! Excellent job though, man! I enjoyed the video.

Not quite flat enough, but close. Needs to let his heart be more fully consumed by DARKNESS!!!!!! 8/10

Asks self: “When did this happen?”

You have now seen the darkness with in darkness

i was just reading this comment as tim was speaking it in the review...it kinda creep me out in a cool way lol

"Kingdom Hearts is a real life documentary, and all the events happen in real time, in the exact order the games are released in." - Master Shake

Lmao

That's how long the series takes to get caught up.

He even said it in the correct order

Facts.

He sounds like he was overtaken by the darkness.

My fucking boi gets it

Age begats wisdom. The Gods begat Tim Rogers.

gamergrad81 dude i love deadly towers i also love the film “JOHN CARTER” also i loved the film “SPEED RACER” when it first came out. i do NOT wanna be the guy who says i liked something when no one else did, though in the case of speed racer i have one very specific friend who HATED the movie when i showed it to him and just the other day i saw him on twitter yellin about what a “masterpiece” it was lol

You're about the only other person I've seen online that has actively said (admitted) this. 🔔 High Five Brother!! ✋

Yeah its okay to like things that others dont. Just because something doesnt live up to a standard doesn't make it unenjoyable

The Last Jedi made 1.3 billion dollars in the box office. It is a wonderful, flawed, and fun movie that millions enjoy. I feel no shame whatsoever in proclaiming it my favorite Star Wars yet

@@Balthazar2242 lmao more power to you. My fav part is when rose stops fin from saving everyone by being a bad driver and then tells him not to destroy what he hates but to save what he loves. With the cherry on top, she kisses him as their base gets blasted open. The movie never shows us how they got back in the base but i like to imagine the first order laughing as fin drags an unconscious shrek (rose) through a field of white red salt for 20 minutes.

Exactly.

When KH1 first came out a friend told me I should try it. I knew nothing about it. They said it was a Final Fantasy/Disney mashup. Being a HUGE Final Fantasy fan my only reaction was "WTF kind of shit game are you asking me to play?" MANY years later I am happy to report that KH1 will always be 'That Game" for me. Also the opening music still kicks ass.

Replica Riku

I've heard bad things, but obviously they aren't taking it in for what it is. An amazing series.

great realization! thc always pin those down for me

Duh. A majority of these hardcore KH nerds are bloody WEEBZ. Can't stand it.

@@jaykay3512 What's a weeb?

@@Sorex_Tkt KZfaq it or google

same here im not even watching much about the game ive seen 2 trailers and the only thing I know about the worlds/game is that frozen will be there and thats it, I played this game when I was like 8? im 23 now and have been waiting for KH3 for about 11/12 years now I refuse to watch anything that'll spoil it

15Productionz exactly , for spoiler reasons and for straight up not wanting to hear wrong opinions about a game I’ve loved since childhood 🤣 I already have all the subjective opinions I need on it and whatever faults reviewers may find will probably be irrelevant to me

hahah exactly honestly I dont care if this game is bad (which it won't be) I will like it by force @@genep9302

Same

I'm 21 and got into it because of a friend, that jerk! I love it.

I mean, he should have made it more explicit that Kingdom Hearts did crossovers more than MCU.

You're wrong Ansem! I know now. More then Ever. Kingdom Hearts IS entertainment given form!

Ganderlow dude . . . spoilers

I'm right there with you on that one.

My educated guess is that you should focus on japanese fashion catalogs.

“911 what’s your emergency?”

Brilliant

I am Mojo Jo--- I mean Xehanort. Yeeeaaaah....

You forgot the zippers complex and occasionally the clown shoes.

Cameo the game

I heard that perfectly in my head. Genius.

Kingdom hearts is a door and also it's a moon and there's another one and it's a moon, but not like the first moon.

Same lol

>Subbing to Kotaku Oh wow.

For Tim Rogers, absolutely

I was hella confused, because I'm pretty damn sure the (french) official guide for Kingdom Hearts on PS2 states (wait, I still have it, let me check, ah, here we go), well, actually states as a matter of fact that Sora is 14 years old as the events of Kingdom Hearts unfold. So I guess there is no right answer to the question "How old is Sora at the start of Kingdom Hearts ?". In fact, I feel more and more like any question regarding Kingdom Hearts could be answered nowadays by "We have no way to know because Nomura has gone absolutely mad and doesn't know himself what is true or not about the series".

@@Blizaros he's...14? He's 15 in kh2 cause one year passed while recovering his memories

I think he didn't only because the ABDN archives appear to be offline. However, according to the error (?) message, we should, 'relax. [Because] it's coming back.' I really wish Tim would stop telling me to relax when the ABDN archives are still down...

@@dukeofthebump Duke, I hope you reign over many more Bumps in your lifetime - thank you!

@@dukeofthebump Owww, I think I went cross eyed trying to read that font.

@@madestmadhatter Reading that makes it hard to believe that the same guy who wrote that also wrote this. I mean, if he hated the game then, he didn't magically start liking it.

He did. He's Young Xehanort

dumbass he's 16 in kingdomhearts 3

@@eeveefennecfox hahahahah

Sora would actually be 30/31 if he was 14 in 2002.

@@bubastis6306 that thought worries me for some reason and scares me.....

Same here, except 130 hours and not quite done yet.

im over 100hrs and have not even fought mordregon or jasper yet lol

I got the plat trophy after 95 hours :D

Okay I believe you

I did as well

Everglow is amazing xD I didn't expect Tim to mention his timeline videos!

@@Road_to_Dawn was going to write in the comment to watch everglow series to catch up the series. Then he mention it lol

It feels much more like a review for people than a way to catch up. You miss a lot by playing the games themselves. A personal anecdote was that one day, around a decade ago, I was talking to someone from my day care about Kingdom hearts and he was raving about the mystery of the game. He was talking about Re:Coded, a game that gets almost universally panned for existing. You wouldn't have experiences like that by just watching a video recap like Everglow's series.

@@shawnjavery I agree, you'll always get a better experience playing the games yourself but for those who didn't/don't have the consoles Everglow's series is a way to at least get to know the series through more then just word of mouth. In my case, my boyfriend doesn't have a PS4 or Xbox 1, only a Switch and since we're in a long distance relationship atm I can't show him the experience only playing the game series in person can offer just yet, which I really want to since I still have all of my original copies of the games plus the remasters. Heck, I still have my Gameboy Advance copy of COM! Anyways, I'm glad you got to have that kind of fun experience at that daycare because there's no substituting the joy or laughs you get from coming across something like that. Reminds me of a video I watched where a teacher talked about how KH helped him get one of his students out of their shell since they were really quiet otherwise. It was really something else hearing that a new generation can love the series as much as those of us who have been here since the beginning of the KH series.

@@knightlessmoon I saw that video! It was super sweet :3 I wish I'd had a teacher like that when I was in school

Sam Wooten it’s what keeps us fans sane

Big facts. It’s been our saving grace for the past decade.

Watch kingdom hearts Chronicles

@@ayoits_tendo why/how?

TheSly442 I didn’t mean it literally. It was just fun to crack jokes at our own expense while waiting a decade plus for the next mainline game. Just memeing, my friend.

Hey Michael, I'd love to read the RDR2 review of yours.

@@cultofgaurav Thanks man! I'm home from work today but I'll shoot you a copy when I get to work tomorrow.

So, I got curious. What exactly is your job?

There's not gonna be a way to literally distill the game part of KH3 and the cultural significance of KH3 into 400 words I don't think

Same. I think... THINK... it's from DQXI, or maybe an anime I played recently? Help us Tim!

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q6ynprh239qXfnU.html literally the menu theme from the first Kingdom Hearts.

@@XiongGou No no, the jaunty little piano bit in the first minutes of the video.

Indeed he is, Kotaku has a Tim Rogers playlist, check them out, they're all pretty great.

My first one was Birth by sleep. Which was a great starting point , didn't knew it was a sort of origin story for the series at the time and gameplay andcgraphics still hold up today even in the PSP version.

about how we have the keys tu unlock the hearts , to join the multiverse , thankyou i see you , Kindred , this single comment may make me play it :) thankyou

Maybe he should try to "Face [his] Fears" ...

and feel the pure blood boil

amen

I never really worry about scores cause it’s all subjective. If I read a review I’ll read if after I’ve played a game just out of curiosity to see if reviewers thought similarly. Reviews tend to skew your opinion on games so I leave for afterwards

Just look at the Ign review... Ign is fucking trash

People read reviews???

That could be borderline therapeutic. Not even exaggerating.

@@niespeludo "Kingdom hearts is light!" **bawling my eyes out as I feel light enveloping my body and soul**

Here I thought DBZ on LSD was awesome. Why the hell did I never think of this?

Now there's an idea

Final fantasy meats Disney meats the machine elves. Truly this is the most ambitious crossover event ever.

exactly

@@kotaku The evil geniuses, this was their plot to make it so they could put out a review of the game! BURN THEM!

It's not Kh2, nothing will ever be like it. Because it is Kh2 on it's own just like each game in the series so far is it's own. There's no such thing as perfection. It's scientifically impossible for anything to be constantly perfect let alone a game. There's always going to be some flaws from it. It's best to lower expectations unless you want to be disappointed.

@@freebellamoon74 > There's no such thing as perfection. It's scientifically impossible for anything to be constantly perfect let alone a game Tetris would beg to differ... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/itSqp81iutLPgac.html

To want something is not the same thing as to expect it. I'm not sure what your point is on the perfection thing. No one uses the word literally lol. Osaka team is not the team that made KH2. We all know it won't be the same. I worry they'll fuck it up.

Interesting... I actually prefer BBS to 2 due to the story being twice as good, characters being more interesting and the gameplay felt more varied with the command deck. Then again Sora is my absolute least favorite character in the entire series.

Birth By Sleep was a step in the right direction.

That's why you need to go into hibernation my friend
