Kingdom hearts 0.2 takes place between kingdom hearts birth by sleep and kingdom hearts 1 not between kingdom hearts birth by sleep and kingdom hearts dream drop distance

Only the epilogue happens after dream drop distance

@ lol

The intro with one with one world under kingdom hearts should have been labeled as Union x....just suggesting. Plus again and needs a little more research.

I definitely understand how confusing they story is back when they first dropped but now that all the games are on ps3&4 it's fine to follow just long.

Ligmer Ballz Lmao

The best summary of the entire franchise I've ever seen.

Why does this make more sense than the actual plot? (x .x)

XD

Old GM car keys, very pointy

I don't think they were expecting the first game to be as successful as it did, and they needed the title of Disney meets FF as a theme to garner new fans. Then the series just kinda developed its own identity after KH2.

Dis is my oc Xexe, he has 5 Keybwades and he is better den Sowa and Mickey

@@LeeEverett1 rip sephiroth

@@LeeEverett1 no it was meant to be an original story from the beginning

"Original character characters" nice, but really like did you want it to be only disney or FF? Having original characters makes it to where it's not directly linked to one side on the collab.

Well, he held 7 during the end of KH3 in the final battle so...

That actually makes perfect sense!

KirbyKips but can you think how Kairi recognised Sora despite the fact that there's also more Heartless at the moment

@@bendystein7019 She sensed his heart because he was able to hold on to his consciousness. I think. Edit: Also maybe she can just tell who all of the heartless were when they were human. and Sora was just the only one she cared about.

What about those mushroom heartless that are completely harmless? How little darkness do you need to turn into that?

it's about light vs darkness it's simple and clean

Vitor Henrique Farias I see what you did there

Awesome game crazy convoluted story. Perfect for a mix between final fantasy's & Disney's heart renching storys and Disney's convoluted magic explaining everything so it's just saying a wizard did it with a pinch of jrpg drama and op characters.

Vitor Henrique Farias true. It’s about light and darkness and the battle of the two. A lot of doors and keys and anime disney stuff

KEYBLADE

@@Coolio_Ash Ok, I believe you.

You mean the Mega Destruction Dark Ball of Darkness and Destruction?

You forgot to add 'Special Attack' to the beginning of that.

Yep that was my chain of thoughts too. U can make a drinking game out of him saying "Darkness"

Me too ...... I guess one piece is more simple

That's not even the half of it. Now you have to understand KHUX ( Kingdom Hearts Union Cross), which takes place before Xenahort and tells the story of the First KeyBlade war, where you will learn about the previous incarnations of The First Organization 13's Nobodies who will probably play a bigger part in KH4 and the KH games to come

Friar Ruse STAHP😭😭

This series is not that convoluted look at the Legend of Zelda timeline and tell me that's not completed and you're not completely stretch it to fill their inability to tell a story without throwing in 50 million gimmicks.

“You guys have keys?”

As Captain Jack Sparrow said, “It is a drawing of a key.”

"I thought dreams was the key"

"I've been having these weird thoughts, lately. Like is any of this for real, or not?" They never did address those lines from the very first game. lol

Meanwhile, Union Cross is hinting strongly at the active utilisation of dreams to protect the Light. And Ventus is in it, and so is Marluxia pre-nobody. You may need to run down your ice cream reserves.

I had a nightmare of how kingdom hearts 3 came out and the end was all a dream

i think it was all a dream

Can you elaborate on that a bit? This piqued my interest in the whole X naming thing

Ro(x)as name is a mix up Sora’s name. Nobody’s that need to be unlocked... All the other nobodies share the same thing

the many x's come from x-blade..in greek x is pronounced as chi or he and lets say chi-blade sounds like key-blade

@@Miju001 man I hated chain of memories when I got it. Let down forsure

@@lifeonmars03 when CoM came out, I thought it was just as good if not better than KH1. I thought the story was great and Sora actually had a personality in it rather than just being a generic main character that screams friendship at everyone. Plus the card system was super interesting

Same here I skipped chain of memories cause I didn’t want to play a handheld GbA game with some shitty card system after the luxury of the ps2 with 3D environments and normal combat. To say I was confused when playing KH2 would be an understatement especially during the intro cinematic.

Kingdom Hearts timeline is nothing compared to the FNAF timeline.

@@marioluigi3122 nah

Even Metal Gear Solid is eaiser to follow

We don't know what Xehanort is an arrangement of. It could be No Heart, Another, or even A Throne. Or knowing KH, it's somehow all three at once.

I’m still trying to get used to the fact that “Lea” is pronounced “Lee”. That feels so wrong. They couldn’t just make is somebody name “Ale” or something...nah that’s just as bad. Axel is such a cool name. :(

I believe the X comes from the X in X-blade, it's really weird how they spell it as chi-blade and it sounds like keyblade

@@1_.Unknown._1 That's because it's a Greek symbol. And it translates a bit weird. So it comes out sounding like Keyblade.

@@1_.Unknown._1 The X is "explained" in DDD - it's called "The Recusant's Sigil" and Xehanort can use it to track people (in addition to presumably having other, yet to be revealed, properties). Luxu may or may not be an exception to the X-names thing.

It's not really hard to understand if you play through the game you're get it. Saying it's overly convoluted is not really. Clearly you have not played the BlazBlue series which is much worse now that is convoluted.

blade wind blade wind Yes, I have played that also and that story line is hard to explain too.

I never thought of that

jameslong672 it literally shows it in the video when roxas gets introduced, you can see it spells sora

@@MOOSHROOMKILLER3 calm down abit only said i didnt notice that, i know about sora and roxas but i disnt know about rhe other members

they could've just named Lea Alex, but ofc not...

the fk kh isnt convoluted

They were too attatched to Sora and had no restraint as writers. I bet they they had all of these cool scenes in mind, and then had no idea how to logically connect them all, so they made the poor connections up as they went along.

That phrase is still cringe asf

@@Samuel-uf3mj play the games in order of release

black chase67 so like KH 1, CoM, 358/2 days, 2, bbs, recoded and so on?

@@Samuel-uf3mj revers 358 and 2 bbs recoded watch it or not (its inconsequential ) 3d 0.2 fragmentarry passege kh back cover and get a look on union x s plot the basics and keyblade war back cover is a movie about it but it leaves a few things

black chase67 I just want to walk away from the series entirely because you have to remember so much crap. I just know that Sora is the chosen one to wield the keyblade and is supposed so set people free by killing heartless or something like that. But I see other people wielding them and I get confused. Once I’m finished with 3, I’m done.

It’s actually No. i, or Imaginary Number. That’s just the name Vexen came up for Xion when he created her, I suppose.

Gemnist it also has a double meaning in Japanese. Take out the x and you’re left with “ion,” pronounced EE-ON in Japanese, which speaking to chemistry, has a non-zero charge. Finally, Xion’s name contains the Japanese words for "tide" (潮 shio) and Aster tataricus (紫苑 shion), which, according to Japanese floriography, means "I won't forget you" or "remembrance".

I just binge played the series for the first time, via all in one package, I still have to play remind, but I loved this story man, I never played final fantasy so I didn’t know what to expect fr, but after finishing 3 it’s just so crazy to see where things began & how far they’ve come

KH4: *suicide*

kh has no spinn offs

KHUx:We are Xehanorts?!

May their hearts be their guiding key.....

They probably fucked it up

And they failed miserably

dunkey have the best explanation video

and it was terrible

Correct as Ansem Seeker of Darkness is the heartless I believe of Xeahanort and Xemnas is his nobody. While Diz is the real Ansem aka Ansem the Wise in disguise.

GaiaX5 makes sense huh

More like Square and Disney. At least for me tho

Anno.G the Lea/ventus thing makes is a great idea but I’m sure they will go the lame route and revive Roxas

@@jaronhoward1926 I don't think they gonna revive Roxas. It should be the same as the "death" of Axel. Since Roxas is a simili, Ventus is going to wake up and remember everything as a simili so his story with Axel/Lea.

well guess what happened...

@@AchillesofOblivion It's ok if you cried man

The thing is that Roxas is Sora’s nobody. Not Ventus. Ventus has nothing to do with Roxas and they only look alike because he was already in Sora’s heart when Sora basically committed suicide lol causing Roxas to take on Ventus’ image. That’s why Vanitas looks like Sora but is the other half of Ventus. And literally nothing that you mentioned happened lol. I was looking forward to those things as well 😭😭 i wanted Ventus and Roxas to interact with each other! Maybe the next game..

It's not hard to.

Everyone is a god until they are proven wrong. "when someone asks if you are a god, you always say Yes"

What is a god, to a non-believer.

so you are all-knowing

GREAT. ive been forced into the series, and im still kinda lost...... help

Just fuck Union Cross. It's not relevant until KH3 and that's if they focus on it enough to begin with.

Plus can anyone really explain any of that mess? Nobody knows who the MoM is or why he disappeared or what's in the box and his keyblade etc. So it's probably best to leave that out until they come up with more details

I feel like all that stuff isn’t gonna be answered in kh3 but will be left for the other games after it

@@atlas_vash well techinally i think the keyblade no man was handed over to luxu and either 1: luxu opened teh box 2: handed the keyblade directly to MX since time travel has been confirmed in DDD. OR 3: he handed it to an apprentice and over the 100s or 1000 of years the keyblade has been passed down in generation to generations. but we do see someone in the kh3 trailer that has a keybalde with an eye on it that *kinda* looks similair to the noname blade.. so why is that? and what purpose does the keyblade have

@@sumireravenclaw8034 well yeah the keyblade was given to luxu and we have no idea if he opened the box or not and that'll probably not be answered in this game, and yeah of course he passed it on because xehanort has it so either eraqus and xehanort were his direct apprentices given the timeline or the second set of apprentices, and yeah the eye from no name can be seen on a few different keyblades but mostly ones for terra and riku and that's probably because they're directly connected to xehanort and it was passed to them

Scotty Pham I know I’m still confused too

Really? I don’t find it that confusing

Kingdom Hearts is a big heart-shaped moon in the sky, and a great power source. Master Xehanort wants to control it, and has made many copies of himself (aiming for 13 because numerology) in the hopes that pitting 13 darknesses (his clone army) against 7 lights (the good guys) will somehow give him that opportunity after at least 3 previous attempts to control it or create an artificial version all failed. His schemes have included using time travel to bring his younger self to the present day, and splitting himself into a "Heartless" (his heart, going by "Ansem, Seeker of Darkness") and a "Nobody" (his body, "Xemnas") to get past various limitations on complete people, so those versions of him may be running around. From about a decade ago, we have three lost Keyblade-wielders - Terra, Aqua, Ventus - Terra's body was possessed by Master Xehanort's heart when Xehanort's old body was defeated. We know his heart was still linked to some part of Xehanort (probably Xemnas) fairly recently. Aqua fell into the Realm of Darkness where she's trapped until someone can find a way to rescue her. Ventus's body is asleep in a hidden chamber of Castle Oblivion, waiting for Aqua to rescue him, while his heart is asleep inside Sora's. Sora is the main playable character of the series, usually travels with his friends, Donald Duck and Goofy, and alternates between thwarting Xehanort's plans by saving the worlds, and falling into Xehanort's traps and losing his levels. Sora's best friends are Riku, another keyblade wielder, recently granted the rank of Master, who has gained an immunity to darkness after being possessed by Xehanort's Heartless, and wrestling with the temptations offered by its power, and Kairi, who has recently acquired the power to wield the Keyblade and is also a Princess of Heart - one of seven who have no darkness in their hearts, and are important to the worlds continuing to exist for whatever metaphysical reason. In Kingdom Hearts 1, Kairi's heart took refuge in Sora's, until he released it, along with his own, turning him into a Heartless briefly until Kairi's Princess-of-Heart powers restored him. However, brief though his time as a Heartless was, that also created a Nobody, according to the usual process - and a second Nobody linked to Kairi and her heart. Sora's Nobody, Roxas, taking on Ventus's appearance due to his heart also being involved, also inherited the ability to wield the Keyblade, though he didn't get any of Sora's memories, and was recruited by Xemnas, Xehanort's Nobody, as the 13th member of Organization XIII, a group of powerful Nobodies. Using Kairi's Nobody, Namine, and the special properties of Castle Oblivion, one of the Organization's members, Vexen, created two replicas - the Riku Replica, who was a straight-up copy of Riku, and Xion, a limited replica of Sora, designed to absorb and hold his memories, who also worked for the Organization for a time, alongside Roxas. Xion sacrificed herself so Roxas would absorb her and Sora's memories she held, then Roxas merged with Sora, meaning Sora holds Ventus, Roxas and Xion within himself. Namine also merged with Kairi. Roxas and Xion's best friend within the Organization, the Nobody Axel, sacrificed himself helping Sora, causing his original self, Lea, to reappear. Unlike Xehanort/Xemnas, Sora/Roxas and Kairi/Namine, normal Nobodies look like their original selves, so Lea looks like Axel. Lea is now a confirmed good guy, having rescued Sora from Xehanort's latest scheme, and has managed to manifest his own Keyblade, and is currently with Kairi, being trained. Rounding out the roster of contemporary keyblade wielders is none other than Mickey Mouse, who managed to acquire a special keyblade from the Realm of Darkness with the help of his old friend, Master Aqua, who he's now ready to try to rescue with Master Riku's help. Any clearer?

@@rmsgrey thank you for that. ^_^

It was simple from the get go, this video was made back in the day to capitalize on a meme said by idiots.

DulcetCherry same

Vanitas looks like Sora because Nomura thought it would be neat.Nomura has this nasty habit of getting neat ideas but difficulty in actually connecting that neat idea harmoniously with the story. To his credit though, it's not like people aren't continuing to buy the games despite it.

Dood ikr

It's fairly simple if you played through all the games. The problem is on paper it doesn't make sense. The way the it's written sorta makes you wise to how the rules of the universe work early on, which makes everything else pretty straight forward.

I understand it by playing it but it’s a mouthful trying to explain it to others

@@onepunch2310 This is why I just tell my friends who want to get into the series to either play the games or watch the cutscenes. By nature any explained video will be confusing.

It actually ends after KH ll. The last scene showed her walking up to Ansem the Wise at the beach in the realm of darkness.

Also, only most of 358/2 days takes place after COM, not all

The stuff with Mickey and Riku is after DDD.

Theres no spin offs

They knew what they were doing in kh1 when that figure in the brown coat says those 5 words "this world has been connected"

Roxas is so boring.

I think it's because 1) Naminé is not an organization member and 2) her name is from a word related to the ocean, just like Kairi's.
