MrDylanHM it’s definitely a way to sell to the maximum amount of fans possible. Excuses to have Cloud, Sephiroth, Aerith, FF8, Disney, and so many other characters that the ads will show as having a huge presence (they did on the first one at least), and then you realize they basically are minor characters, one time boss battles, and basically just to essentially name drop. That said, I still love this and will keep playing and buying. I like that it usually doesn’t take itself so seriously unless you do a breakdown like this. ‘Contrivance Tornado,’ is perfect though.

It’s intricate is what it is lol

The tornado titan.

its okay though guys, cause now we have the x-blade which is the new keyblade that does what the keyblade does but doesn't really do because its does what it does... so confusing, i mean to be fair, the first game had Ansem being able to make a keyblade so... idk it has gone really far overboard though.

WE ALL GET KEYBLADES

EVERYBODY GETS A KEYBLADE!!!!

I think that Keyblades are way rarer than they seem, but appear to be very common, simply because of their relations with each other and where they are, normal people in the universe wouldn't ever have a chance to get one, let alone see one. Then again, you could site Unchained, considering that several groups of people were given keyblades. There may be something that I'm missing in regards to that, but I don't feel like looking that up, this was just something that I thought of and heard some others talking about.

EVERYONE GETS A KEYBLADE!!!

King Jae Same. A lot of it is lore that shows up once or twice (Riku doesn’t look like Ansem after the explosion. Why? Because somehow explosions can purify disguises made of darkness 🤷‍♂️

Yeah this was a really good video. You guys should check out best guy ever's kingdom hearts 101 university lecture.

One "KH Lore" video literally just gave the story of BBS. Ug.

It was comprehensive and chronological which is impressive given how INSANELY convoluted the story-line and characters are.

Agreed

Thanks man 👍

yeah, it seems forced. Prequels are usually less complicated and used to explain.

Based on how Mickey didn’t recognize Terra when the met up in the lab after he was possessed, I’m going to go with the assumption they just threw a lot of stuff together and hoped for the best

Very little was planned out before clearly. Even post KH2 it's been game by game story writing. Gotta give Birth By Sleep credit though, it's a really solid prequel to KH1,2,and sorta Chain of memories, and it is a total retconn. KH1 and 2 weren't originally written with much space for a prequel story, and the game actually tells a compelling story that explains some things about KH1 and 2 to those who have paid attention the the overarching story.

The way I see it, it was probably written in three or more waves. 1) Kingdom Hearts is its own story, written with an open-ended conclusion, but no exact direction yet. 2) Chain of Memories was written with KHII in mind for sure, since it introduced the first seen members of Organization XIII. Kingdom Hearts II concludes itself, with hints of a future. 3) With little hope for a KHIII anytime soon, three games were announced in close proximity, but far apart in release: 358/2 Days, Birth By Sleep, and Coded (eventually Re:Coded for the West). These were obviously written together, but some MAJOR hints in BBS indicate to me that the plot twists in Dream Drop Distance were conceived ahead of time: Braig's and Isa's eyes are brown and blue respectively in BBS, but after Terra wipes out one of his eyes, Braig appears again... with gold eyes. Isa (or rather, Saix) has gold eyes in KHII, meaning the choice to give his BBS self blue eyes had to be consciously hinting the same twist. ???) I don't know if KHIII is still part of wave 3 or if it's in a post-wave 3 era of storytelling. Wave 3 seems to be about setting up the premise of KHIII, but the plot of KHIII may have been written and developed after this setup was finished, starting a potential wave 4. Either way, whatever KHIII is, we know that 2.8's BBS side story with Aqua (BBS 0.2) was originally supposed to be the intro to KHIII, so it probably belongs to whatever wave KHIII is in. But that's just how I see it. A lot of each game is likely written as it goes (like most stories), but you can at least tell that most of the major plot elements and twists after KHII were planned ahead to a significant extent.

Facts dude. It’s kind of annoying tbh.

I imagine the conversation in the Writer's room going like this: "Okay, guys, listen up. The Developers want us to create a Kingdom hearts 3, no spin-off or prequel this time. You know the drill: bring the notes we had from writing all the previous games and the LSD tags, it's gonna be a long week.

The_Pyromancer False. Despite how spread out the series is, there are no spin-offs in the series. Every game is canon.

crazitomali lol

10? kh2 came out in 2006. try 12 years lol

It has been stated that Kingdom Hearts 3 will be the last of what they call "The Xehanort Saga", and that they do indeed intend to make more games in the series beyond this saga. So there will be another game, but I doubt it will be called kingdom hearts 4, since to many would expect it to be a continuation of the Xehanort saga

klausiboy kristensen Why would anyone expect a game called kingdom hearts 4 to follow the xehanort saga? The creators have already stated that Sora will remain the main character of kingdom hearts after kh3. So it makes sense to continue the numerical titles.

Well, I just figured, that since Kingdom hearts 1-3 had covered the Xehanort saga, they might want to kinda make a reset on the titling or something like that. Basically, Square has been so all over the place with their titles, that I just half expect them to start naming their games like "Kingdom Hearts, A new light saga part 1: Next frontier" or some crazy stuff like that xD I honestly feel like it's misleading in the first place to have numerical naming for the Kingdom hearts games in the first place, since a lot of softcore fans will guess that the only games that matter are the main titles, which couldn't be further from the truth, so it might be wishful thinking, but I hope they drop the numerical naming

klausiboy kristensen I hope they don’t drop the numerical naming, unless sora stops being the main character at some point.

whattheheckification well, I'm kinda ready to move on from Sora, personally. I'm just not ready to move on from all of the awesome characters connected to him :/

@@gonnaregretthis2926 the original game was all about going to different Disney worlds.

Oh my god none of you have played the previous games before have you? I was just here for a refreshing

And Eraqus is an anagram of Square (from Square enix). So he was sort of their Yen Sid counterpart

Mind blown

It could be worse. It took me years to realize Alucard was Dracula spelled backwards...

Spencer DeMent 😲😳🤨🧐😵

In case you haven't watched it: Yen Sid has been around since 1940 in Fantasia. His name was revealed in the introductory clip before the actual sequence he's in, and I think they even say it's "Disney" backward in that, but It's been a WHILE since I've watched Fantasia, so don't quote me on that. Anyway, the sequence "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" is where he comes from. He's the sorcerer in question, and Mickey is his apprentice. That's why his hat MAY look familiar(all the art and merch of Mickey in the red robe and signature blue, moon-and-star-patterned hat). That's also why they have that connection in Kingdom Hearts. It's just for different reasons.

Its that final fantasy part of kh imo. I couldnt keep up w/ ff

Lol me.

Everything was smooth sailing until dream drop distance

King I mean, I wouldn’t say it was “smooth sailing”, as shit really started to get dumb with kh2. Like Kingdom Hearts going from a door to a moon, Riku having Ansem TSODs’ appearance, who wasn’t actually Ansem but ??Xehanort’s??? heartless, who stole the real Ansem’s name because reasons. Oh, and a Secret Ending that completely fucked the lore till BBS. KH2 is my favorite game in the franchise but they really started to mess things up then. The story, as interesting and emotional that it’s been, snowballed into this convoluted and disastrous mess by the finale. It honestly killed a lot of hype I had for KH3, and I’ve been playing this franchise since the beginning. Kingdom Hearts 1 was simple: Sora was the chosen wielder of the keyblade, no one having 738373 identities, no time travel, none of that. Just a simple story of a kid trying to find his friends and save some worlds from the Heartless. Why did they have to go and fuck that all up?

Seriously? He casually referenced coded by saying that Mickey found evidence of Ven and co.'s survival (and said nothing else about the game), and with DDD he didn't give the ending and just said "This game is stupid" - like, five times.
