This answer some questions that I didn't even have

We gotta wait to learn Pluto's story in Kingdom Hearts 0.4: A Royal Steed's Passage

The Japanese originally had next to nothing, just the base game. The Americans got a few secret bosses and one side of deep dive. THEN, the Japanese got final mix, which had more bosses, new key blades, and an addendum to the deep dive movie; the action sequence between Roxas and riku, and cryptic messages hinting at moments set for the future of the series.

I’m so grateful for your videos cuz I honestly just wan more KH content and I seriously can’t want for a new release 😭

I remember first seeing the little snippet of 'adult kairi' and thinking "oh my god this game, what is happening" it just felt so surreal...and to this day that has not been answered or placed. Knowing Nomura, that small scene alone can be important much much later.

Maybe Pluto was collecting summons from the worlds we don't visit and sent them our way as we "unlocked" them.

I’ve been watching Star Wars recently and now that I see it the sith reminds me so much of organization 13, like how the sith control the dark side of the force, the organization control darkness. The sith eyes are yellow, like the organization. There’s even a Sith Lord who wants to “change the word for the better” like Palpatine.

Its also mentioned in 0.2 i think? to close the door it needed 2 keys and 2 hearts from both sides. Mickey was a key, and riku was the heart.

I, too, was a wee child when I played KH 1 and I recently played 1.5... Man, did I miss a lot when I was 7 lol

Love these KH1 Ultimania videos you are pumping out! It's really interesting to see how Nomura thought about KH back then.

as a kid I saw Riku staying behind as his way of making amends for all he's done

At first I thought Riku didn’t go to the other side because there needed to be at least one person to be on both sides to close it.

....I hate to be that guy, but Deep Dive was not in the American release. It was an addition in Final Mix along with the Unknown. It was one of the reasons Final Mix was so coveted, not just because of the Unknown and the game changes and additions, but because Deep Dive was seen one of the most intriguing parts of the release for many fans, especially back when video sharing on the internet was a lot harder to do.

This interview clears up so many things I didn’t know I was confused about

It’s crazy to think how long ago this has all been. It’s cool to look back at it from that perspective though. Stay well out there everybody, and Jesus Christ be with you friends.😊

5:35 Okay, that's definitely a retcon, because a) the Organization was already at Castle Oblivion by the time Sora, Donald and Goofy arrived on the plains, and b) Aqua sealed the Keyhole years ago. The letter that Pluto had at the end was never brought up again. They never discussed what Pluto was doing, although DDD did show that Mickey was in Traverse Town when everyone else arrived. They showed bits and pieces of what Pluto was doing, such as showing him walking through a Corridor of Darkness. But other than that, absolutely nothing was made clear.

So what you’re telling us is.... we’re getting a new spinoff revolving around Pluto and the worlds he visits. N I C E

Awesome ! Thx !

fantastic video

6:46 His guess was right they were Sora (Sort of), Riku, and Kairi.

The correction assumes the third person is Kairi, but it could be the Nameless Star. Destiny Islands appears on a billboard in quadratum and the girl shown has brown hair and different clothes

I wish there was a way to get and read the ultimanias.

You know Nomura makes some of this up as he goes and allows the fans to make up the story... I think then they pool the best theories and make them into future games. Huge KH fan here btw HUGE

Can someone tell me the name of the song that plays at the end of this KZfaq video? It’s so good

Everyone here is being nostalgic for KH one and I'm here being a few months younger than the original game

I actually would have loved a prequel to Mickey's beginnings as Nomura mentioned that Mickey had his own adventure as well to get his Keyblade.

Nomura: (hoping KH will get a sequel) Me:(after getting technicality over ten games) Your hopes came true.

The original US version of kingdom hearts only had the short version secret ending(another side another story) I know cause I played around release and did everything to unlock it and I remember being insanely excited and obsessed with it for the years waiting for the next KH game

In the secret ending with the words flying around. The word "chasers' popped up? What's the deal with that, we've yet to see that term used in the series. Or is it a place holder for the "seekers of darkness" ?

Ok, I know that this may be a stretch, but I think that Yazora is Riku’s Nobody. I say that because Riku’s heart has been sent to the realm of darkness, thus separating his heart from his body, and generating the nobody that is Yazora. It also plays into the fact that Yazora is heavily similar to Riku, and that even in KH3 they state that Yazora “kinda looks a lot like Riku.” Idk, it could be me, but it seems pretty straight-forward (in a KH sense of things).

Didn't 2.8 a fragmentary passage already say that the door won't let a heart with light pass through

imo Roxas lost some of his coolness and mystery when they introduced a clone who looked exactly like him (Ventus).

I started when I was in elementary school 5th grade beat the game in proud mode with my brother and after beating the game i took my mom's phone and recorded the audio of the credit version of simple and clean with the audio bit of I'll come back for you it was amazing with the BBS trio i also thought it was older versions of Riku sora and kairi you know beefed up and ready for a second conflict the secret clips was your if you beat it in proud mode mane i boasted bout that for weeks and would listen to the simple and clean in that phone i was 12 maybe 11 awh man i love this game when the sequel came out boom rushed and binged destroyed the game till my PS2 stopped working and I let one of my friends in the YMCA borrow my kh2 disk and he never gave it back. So i was overcome with darkness as I saw the light escape me to be anothers warmth. That butt head last update i got was he made it to the Mulan world that was over a decade ago i feel like Frank Reynolds when he's remembering froggy quick get that namebitch to change my memories

It's gotta be yozora walking in the beginning of it and the girl he was trying to save in the secret movie for kingdom hearts in toybox I think but I think there both the new characters idk but I kinda think so the face is nearly matchable and the way the guy jumps he reminds me of a younger yozora just a bit though but just a theory that it's yozora trying to find sora and it's not kairi it's the girl from yozora's world at least I think because he probably has been planning this for a long time

Of course another side another story/deep dive is a reference to riku, roxas and the memory skyscraper, but what if another side another story, as an idea, also resonates with the whole yozora mystery? Obviously they’re in what eventually becomes world that never was, but what if that wasn’t the case, at the time? It’s hard to try and read into past content using the full hindsight that one gets after playing through the whole series

Lol everyone thought bbs was kh3 even after it says bbs at the end

nice

So real talk. I have a theory that the end of the world is actually daybreak town. The heartless that show up there are Invincibles, which are theorized to be former Keyblade wielders if Dark Inferno is anything to go off of. They have rements of other worlds, like memories that the keyblade wielders can access like from the pages of the book of proficiencies and the data recreations. The section we all thought was a lost room of hallow bastion was action the Room with the Ark in the tower, and it seems to have connection to all worlds. Perhaps the events of Kh1 has a bit more of a hidden meaning that might shed some light in the next saga. I wonder if anyone can do a video looking into this for me.

What if, the part of another side, another story in the destiny islands has something to do with yozora as counterpart of sora or riku ? It would blow my mind.

Well be ready to wait another decade plus to find out what Nomura has in store for the KH franchise next seeing as how long KH3 took to come out. I'll be almost frickin 50 by then if I'm not dead.

Has anyone ever thought that maybe Pluto is a Keyblade Wielder, kinda like Rapide wielding a sword in Tales of Vespiria

I slowed down the secret movie and the guy running up the wall has boots with a lot of details even laced up??? That's yozora

Well they thought the two people were Riku and Sora.... Well, they were technically correct

Here we go magic number

What is World Prisons computer

Anyone have info on the outro track?

Nomura should Remake Kh1 to make everything looks the way it should be, according to the games after 1. One example of a better look could be when Donald and Goofy take a look inside the door of light they should have seen Aqua dealing with the Demon tide, also that part of the dark world look kinda empty compared to 0.2.

When are you bringing back critical mix?

How do you know that adult girl was Kairi? 2.6.22

8:02 That is not Ansem's true body. Yeah, Ansem's true body would only be revealed in 2010

I miss the close up gameplay in KH1. It felt more intimate and detailed

Plot twist: Pluto is a door of light

You should do a trifecta of the KH1,2,3 games

So.....aqua didnt return toholow bastion when the worlds returned,why???? Because by the logic of the interview...

Roxas,Axel and Shion

So... this was posted recently, and its' talking about things have long since been resolved due to plot development. Why is Nomura trying get us to look back to the first game now?

:)

I’m still confused about Kairi

Im still saying sora is the master of masters

I am hyped for KH 2 now. Oh wait...

It wasn’t just you. Someone wrote a dissertation on kingdom hearts and reached the same conclusion.. it’s long been outdated and defunct, with the additions of the other titles, though.

He never coverd wat the heck is in sora's shoes....i know i know,his feet...but still the excess part near his toes..

Pluto game?! HAHAHA jkjk

I love Kingdom Hearts but I'm pretty sure that most of the story is improvised even if he acts cool and tries to fix some plot holes the reality is so obvious.

Am I the only one who gives two shits about Roxas?

Game is overrated & outdated. Who cares?
