00:00:14 - Young Xehanort Data Battle 00:02:50 - Dark Riku Data Battle 00:05:44 - Saix Data Battle 00:10:28 - Larxene Data Battle 00:12:57 - Xigbar Data Battle 00:18:39 - Vanitas Data Battle 00:21:03 - Terra-Xehanort Data Battle 00:24:24 - Marluxia Data Battle 00:29:58 - Luxord Data Battle 00:36:15 - Ansem Data Battle 00:41:28 - Xemnas Data Battle 00:50:41 - Xion Data Battle 00:56:50 - Master Xehanort Data Battle Well, most of us complained that the main Kingdom Hearts 3 story was way too easy to beat, and looks like Square kind of took that on a personal level... so much that they delivered an incredible, challenging experience for these extra bosses. They even added a new, specific music for each one of them, as well as enhancing all of their kits and movements. Some of them, like Marluxia and Xion's Data, are literally a work of art. The Organization XIII Data are a very iconic part for the Kingdom Hearts general gameplay history, and the equally iconic Garden of Assemblage was like a sacred place for most of the players in the last decade. How many years did we all spend in there? They actually were aware of this and took all of that in consideration when working on this new Garden of Assemblage. The music, the callbacks, the references... I saw all of them as a giant love letter to the most faithful fans. So yeah, I can't complain at all. Again, well done Square. This put Kingdom Hearts 3 on a much bigger scale of relevance, gameplay wise. A small note: this was my very first time doing all of these battles. I had no idea how to behave, nor when to attack or block.. I just wanted this to be done as soon as possible so I could unlock the Secret Episode and the Secret Boss, hence why I played on Proud Mode. Some of them like Young Xehanort, Marluxia, Larxene, Vanitas and Terranort were casually done on the first try. Of course, as I've always done in the past, I will focus on recording better played battles, on Critical Mode, after we're done with the new stuff. Each of these fights will need to be carefully studied in order to fully understand each of the enemies' weakness. Just like the old KH2FM Data and Lingering Will seemed too difficult to us at the beginning. Although it's nice to finally have a good reason for using a full power Sora unleashing the full Ultima Weapon's potential. In the meantime, feel free to have a look at their battle styles and let me know which one is your favourite so far!

> Dark Riku's Battle theme begins My brain: "THERE'S NO WAY YOU'RE TAKING KAIRI'S HEART!"

I like how all of these data fights reference their appearances from previous games. Marluxia has the doom counter, Luxord has his time mechanic, Vanitus says "too slow"... its honestly really nice.

Aw man i miss the energy from KH2 Saix; "ALL SHALL BE LOST TO YOU!" "MOVE ASIDE!!" "BEGONE!"

"KH3 was too easy" Square: "Aight."

I liked the idea of Luxord saying “The game continues” in reference to his data battle on Kh2FM saying “Let the games begin”

Define endless Me intellectually: Saïx’s berserk meter

*Sees the doom counter in marluxia's Data battle* Flashback to his AS/Data fight.

Gamers: This is too easy Data Organization 13: Hold my darkness

Me: "Aw, the Xion fight doesn't seem too bad-" Xion: *does THAT* Me: "Ah"

So one day Square was like “what if all of the bosses near the end are almost like the lingering will” cause it just seems impossible to dodge their special attacks

*100th death, still playing* I didn't hear no bell.

Lads I think we can all agree with this, the remixes slap so hard, Especially Xion's

Everybody data got a new remix theme. Vanitas: Am I a joke to you?

"And looks like Square kind of took that on a personal level" yeah man that's exactly what i felt as well, shocked

The fact that Square brings back the unblockable moves from 0.2 makes me want to commit yeetus deletus.

Fans: "kh3 is too easy" Square: "so you chose death...."

Young Xehanort: Time stop. Me: DDD flashback. Crazy what Square Enix did with those battles and the battles themes ear orgasm.

I love how Data MX actually shows the true power of the X-Blade. Those transformations are sick and insane. :D

15:27 sora deflecting bullets.

56:01 Jesus Christ Xion, let him transform.

I have to say I was very impressed with the limit cut bosses. For the most part as far as I've gotten they all seem to have cues and telegraphed points to where you can attack and follow a set amount of moves depending on what you do. It's a nice challenge for any of the difficulties, and it's hard to cheat them. I might even put these above the KH2 data fights.

I love all these fights, so intense. The Xion fight was especially a surprise for me, and I loved how you finished her as the song ended.

44:55 Kingdom Hearts 2, is that you?

Man, you uploading many vids gives me so much nostalgia 🥺 so glad you’re back at it again, and can’t wait for them critical mode org data battles!

56:53 All I heard was _"yo, my boy!"_

imagine a kingdom hearts arena fighting game like dissidia but jus kh combat

Has anyone else noticed that Vanitas saying “Take this” sounds exactly like they accidentally used a Riku battle quote rather than a Vanitas one?

Young Xehanort: "ZA WARUDOOO"

So eventually Xion is unique then her main story fight. Main story: she fight regularly but really decent fight. Data battle: holy shit when did Xion can do that! She never done that in main story.

I'm playing on standard, and I can say that there's no way I can beat any of these bosses without at least a few weeks of practice. That's why I'm here.

Oh, how much I wish there was reflect magic in this game

I don't think things can get much more difficult than this without being cheap and broken about it. So I say they did a good job.

You know what would have been a cool addition? The ability to fight a Data Anti-Aqua. She was my favorite boss in the game.

Everglow’s my #1 KH playthrough to watch. I was waiting for this. Love how he didnt just only use ultima weapon through it all. Crossing my fingers for the montage like he did with KH2🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽. Sidebar: i love how each member had their own theme.

Man, I wish reflect was a spell you could use in this game.

You killed Vanitas before he went into his "Keyblade Ball of Death" mode.

I've been waiting for this video. Thanks EG!

What an incredible job you did! Amazing

Took my Lv. 99 Proud save for the DLC to bring my Ultima along and breezed through the story. Now I'm here... and close to crying, realizing I have to finish ALL of them to progress the story. Haven't even tried Vanitas, Larx or Marly yet, knowing how much I struggled with them in KH2/BBS. Only beat Xigbar so far. The speed and relentlessness of these guys is flipping insane!

I love how the No Name boss theme from BBS plays during Master Xehanort’s data fight. Loving even more that it’s remixed

I lost my MIND when I first saw the Garden of Assemblage on screen. I only recently finally managed to beat Data XIII in Kingdom Hearts 2, and I knew just how unprepared I was for these fights going in. I don't think I'm actually gonna be able to beat these guys for quite a while... Or even have the motivation to. So it's nice to see videos posted of it

Xemnas and master Xehanort was insane fight ever seen keep uploading more videos :) great videos

Is it bad that I'm disappointed the Xion fight didn't showcase any of her forms from her days boss fight?

watching these fights makes me think that those guys were holding back A LOT in the story for some reason, some of them for obvious reasons like Saix

thanks for your hard work, everglow 😊

Xemnas is the bane of my existence. The tendrils putting me on the ground when I want to chase him in the air is so frustrating, and he just doesn't stop moving. I only managed to beat him on proud by brute force and sheer luck. Luxord is the best since it's actually fun and a good break between all the high tension fights. It's pretty much like playing cards with a friend.

Just a thought imagine thr faces on riku and the ff gang watching sora destroying the data counterparts at this level xD

Dude wtf are these battles? It's like they're in DM mode the entire time

This DLC is pretty damn hard, still havent gone past one fight yet

Crazy how the content we actually wanted makes a game more interesting

The music for each boss is 🔥

This community has some serious chill defficiency.

Master xehanort :absolute Radiance

I wish we had a music list for each of the members you fight. Just like the old kh2fm days this video was great Everglow. I miss watching you and Bizkit playing kh2fm trials. Edit: the Xemnas laser circus show was better here than in kh2 holy shit. And Master Xehanort’s back drop for his fight was nuts looking. Good stuff.

The data battle feels like they pulled in the A team to make them. The rest of the games bosses feel so weak and amateurish by comparison

I love that xemnas is op as shiz still my favorite seeker of drarkness “KNEEEEL”

Saix still being a beast and the theme I could've sworn I heard guitar music in the background.

fans: “too easy” square: possible or impossible?

14:50 Xigbar: Oh! Are you approaching me?

Well, I've done the first 11 so far, on Proud, so here is my experience: I did not manage to beat any of them on my first try, unfortunately, though not unexpectedly. Still, a couple I managed with exceptional ease. Young Xehanort: The first one I beat, fairly easily. I did like his time stop mechanic, but I think it could have been implemented a little more...noticeably, maybe? Dark Riku: Beat him second...honestly don't remember much about it except frantically attacking him until he died. I am a little disappointed how similar a lot of his attacks are to Ansem, although they do have unique ways of using them. Larxene: My third. Again, frantically attacked her until she died. I didn't really learn anything about her fight other than she's annoying, but what else is new? Luxord: Now we get to the ones I actually had to learn. My least favorite of his games is the first one with the cards spinning around him. I always had a hard time hitting the one I was aiming for. I did really like the one where you had to find the cards that didn't turn to face you. As for his DM, I was always fine with it until the final round. It gets a little too hard to make sure you're pressing triangle on the right one when they've closed in around you. Also kept accidentally turning into Rage Form on the very last one. Marluxia: This one is pure fun and a thing of beauty. It's not a terribly hard fight, but you do need to be on your toes when the Doom Counter is going. Definitely my favorite of these data battles. Xigbar: ...Easy. Simple. Boring. A study in the art of blocking. Patience and timing, but the only thing exciting about it is when you have the showdown. Ansem: Honestly pretty easy. His most annoying non-DM move is his laser cage, but as long as you block it, you'll live. Like I said earlier, he has a lot of the same attacks as Dark Riku, but uses them differently. His DM is a bit of a bother because it's hard to avoid everything he's throwing at you. For the second one, the best way to survive the tiny stripy balls is to spam little shotlocks with a non-Ultima weapon. Terranort: One of three fights that seriously tested my patience. The first swing of his Ars Solum is unblockable, so you have to dodge it. If you don't, he locks you until the combo is done, which he does three times in a row before a big finisher. Later in the fight, the entire combo can be unblockable. Also the Guardian could be a bit of a nuisance in various situations. My favorite move of his is when he shoots projectiles. Those, you can easily block and send back to him, and right as he does his last round of them, you can airstep at him to attack. Vanitas: I. Hate. This. Boy. No matter when or how I'm fighting him, his fights are always a major headache to me. His entire moveset is irritating, and his DMs are a pain. I did discover that you can't have status effects while in Rage Form, which helped with his first DM, when he sends unblockable blizzard spells at you that cause you to freeze otherwise. I don't know why I have such a difficult time dodging those. His second DM is even more garbage. Keyblade ball of death, as another commenter called it. Just surviving that one is a trial. Overall, probably my least favorite of all these fights. Saix: Moon Pie, honey, I love you, but you need to chill out a little. I did discover early on, that he has an opening almost immediately. Take a couple of steps toward him as the fight starts and he goes into level 1 berserk. Too close and you'll be knocked back. Attack him just before his feet touch the ground and you get a few easy combos on him. His Revenge value is also pretty easy to block. However, his DM and nearly all of his moveset is insane. A lot of his attacks are unblockable, so get ready to dodge everything. Nanogear is very handy for this fight since he can stun you. He does have an opening as he just begins the one where he's in the air slamming his weapon down, but the window is very tiny, literally at the very beginning of his voice line for the attack. Xemnas: Ah, my husbando. Your fight is frantic, but fun. There is so much going on at every moment, especially since the black thorns can come out of nowhere and drag you in unexpected directions. As long as you are aware of them, they're very easily avoidable. Apart from that, this fight is also a study in blocking; like Xigbar, only much more fast-paced. His DM especially has you learn the correct timing for blocking, as being too early or too late can result in massive pain. This is another fight where Nanogear is great to have. During the last batch of lasers, you have to dodge-roll the first volley, since it starts with two unblockable blue lasers, then you can guard the rest of them. However, with any other keyblade, the end result of blocking or getting hit by this attack will be a sizable stun when the DM is finished. That's all I have for now. I still need to beat Xion and Xehanort. I might give my impressions of them afterward, and then seriously study your Yozora video before taking him on.

Everglow you better bring it I waited a few years for another data battle to hit this channel

The only existing finished file I have is a lvl 1 proud, I finally made my way to the limit cut and am full on afraid

A possible would be twist : Xigbar changes unto Luxu in battle phase 2.

Square has finally managed to recapture the magic of KH2FM 😭😭👌🏽

the music is so good omg eargasm

So far have gotten Young Xehanort, Dark Riku and Luxord finished on Critical, I am so happy that they are this much of a challenge.

I’m so happy they changed Sora’s moveset looks a lot cooler now

Xemnas fight just brought back so many memories

This is amazing!

That 13th dilemma version in the saix fight is awesome

20:14 Sora: Here we go! Vanitas: _Nope_

Xion learn from roxas on how to become a cheater 😂 Plus when full xion theme remix community Master xehonart battle is just him showing what he can do with the keyblade instead of just show power and magic

Oooh, all these fights are extremely easy if you're not on critical mode. I learned something new today

This needs lingering will. He deserves death under my blade only

The damage-less runs of these bosses are going to be a NIGHTMARE. WillJV2 has his work cut out for him.

Sweating at the idea of lvl 1 crit runs. Pls god no.

The thing i love about the data battle is that all the bosses themes got a remake that sound incredibly remarkable (except the cavern of remembrance theme...i like the old one better)

At 53:23, can we just take a moment to appreciate how well timed the music was to the end of Sora's combo to the start of Xion's DM?

Im curious will you do a new organization 13 montage like you did with the first organization

15:35 bbs remake looks nice

Critical mode makes me wanna cry. Almost beat Luxord though. Thanks for showing me some of their second halves.

Legit got chills at Xion.... One of my favorite character, and this theme!!!!!!!

Hey Everglow, just wanted to suggest that when u post the secret boss or whatever it’s supposed to be -> please don’t spoil it in the thumbnail because I and (I assume) plenty of others are still stuck on the data battles. I would appreciate that

Well this surprised me, Square actually listened to their fans for once and included all the data battles? I suppose the DLC is worth the money now.

Xions data battle has to be one of my favorite boss fights in the series.

The Musical Remixes were amazing, especially for me the context of some. Xehanorts was cool because at first I was like, is that not Xemnes theme, but then I saw they were using a new version of the Armored Xehanort "No Heart" from BBS which was just fitting! we finally get a remix of 13th Struggle Properly!

Was kinda hoping they would also do fights with characters we just couldn’t fight beforehand, such as Demyx, Vexen, etc.

HOLY CRAP everglow would have died if he didnt have that ultimate ready against Marulxia final death counter >_>

Was really hoping for a 13th reflection remix, but what we got was still amazing.

My. God. You're amazing boi

Nobody: Larxene: *Worm*

When she said, *“what’s a matter?”* *I felt dat* 😢

I think, that of all battles, Luxord (im bad with dice), and Xion's battle are the most difficult. The other ones not so much. I believe Omega Weapon and being overleveled does help. Still this is awesome vid Everglow!

If i'm not mistaken they gave Master Xehanort the Forze dell' Oscurita OST (No Heart's theme) fitting really nice detail square

Id like to see you do this on critical. So far ive only been able to beat 5 of them

Where's the quick time events? I know they might have been tedious in some ways but to me they made boss fights 10x more badass

Who else is regretting playing on Proud mode now?

So... finally the old man's battle theme was Forze dell'Oscurità. At long last.
