1:29:00 In the official KH3 Manga it shows what Riku thought when Mickey said that. He thought that Aqua was a fun goofball like Sora all smiles and kinda dense sometimes. Which is honestly kinda cute how Riku just thinks of Sora like that.
@@calebgoodman3028 The novels can be considered canon, if the games and interviews don't conradict them. For example, he meets Herc for the first time in the KH2 novel, but this isn't canon.
1:52:00 this is one thing that was missing from the Days movie. There was a whole mission in the DS version of the game where Roxas spends his 1 day off in the entire year hanging out with HP&O in Twilight Town
36:58 Phil didn’t speak because Phil’s japanese voice actor, Ichiro Nagai, passed away during the KH3’s development period. Square puts in Phil as a cameo out of respect.
@@Loner098 They could’ve, but in Japanese culture, that’s considered spitting on their work and legacy, so they normally don’t do that as respect for the actor
@@Loner098 Well, Xehanort is a very important character in KH, so they had no choice but to use a different voice actor because of how important he is to the story, as opposed to Phil, who had no impact on the main story at all and they could just keep him silent
If you take a look with a keen eye. In the beginning Sora always had to take an ability for the road. In the first, since he was young and weak, he had to take one but then throw one away. In the second, he had to chose just one without any deductions. Now in the third, he can take two at once, in any order the player likes. (3 if you have RE:Mind)
@@silverwalker2934 This. It's kinda sus that Dee Bee Geek already has Kairi on his menu, implying he already beat the game before streaming it "for the first time"..
@@Bry.89 can confirm having just replayed KH3 the other day on a new PS4 so that I could experience ReMind, Kairi gets added because of the dlc and not beating the game.
It’s crazy how fast we got here retrospectively. This series is easily one of the best playtroughs of KH period. Just look at this crazy intro made by Bernwolff. So much effort and love is put in this project by Dee, his team and all the fans. It’s sad that it will be over pretty soon😕
@@O_Ciel_Phant0mhive hate to be that guy but kh3 had a trailer looong before it ever came out. I would love for kh4 to not take long but at the same time it needs to make some improvements for sure.
I actually kind of like the fact that you can find shards anywhere. Not only is it convenient, but it actually feels like you are finding fragments of the energy of the realms instead of just harvesting them from enemies. It makes synthesis materials more mysterious.
Kingdom Hearts: I like zippers! Kingdom Hearts 2: I rock belts now Kingdom Hearts 3: I’m rolling plaid these days Kingdom Hearts 4: I’m feeling buttons this time round
Very excited to see your entire KH3 journey! Also don’t listen to others on how to play the game, you’re doing great, and I’m enjoying every moment of it! keep it up Dee 🗝❤️
Dee, to clarify on something that isn’t fully explained: the “attraction” summons are essentially “reality shifts” that Sora gained from dream drop distance.
Sora may have lost the power he gained from Dream Drop Distance, but hasn’t forgotten the skills he learned. Flowmotion is the most obvious example, but Attractions do seem awfully similar to Reality Shifts, as well.
Just so you know, in this game you *do not* want to spam triangle. At least not outside of cutscene fights. You want to make sure you pay attention to what is selected. For most things you want to wait as long as possible before using a finisher.
I started my Kingdom Hearts journey on September 23rd of last year and every time I would complete a game I would watch your videos to get your reaction to certain moments. Today, 6 months later, I have finally started Kingdom Hearts 3 and man it's been such a fun ride having your videos to watch the entire way with me on this journey. Thank you so much for making these videos DeeBees along side your team and for putting in the time and effort to keep going through this very frustrating and amazing story we call Kingdom Hearts. I can't wait to continue my journey alongside you when Kingdom Hearts 4 comes out! And also can't forget Missing Link too lol
I usually turn off all of Donald’s magic in every game and just have him heal me in emergencies. It does suck that sometimes I have to focus on getting close enough for his AI to realize I need healing
@@ami6785 yeah,but then he's just gonna use all his MP casting spells anyway. If only there was a way to enable that option where you can't cast a spell that would set your MP to 0 on Donald
"I want that chessboard now." @Dee Bee Geek That chess board can be bought from the online store, but last I checked they were charging $700 USD for it.
Not only that it's not even a chessboard it's a "chess-like game". It's not actually usable for chess and it's not its own game. It's just for decoration.
@@Tundra0stalker I know I'm a little late but Square actually released a book for the KH series and in it it explained a few ways the game can be played. There's no definitive way but it is playable and it has rules for each "gamemode".
Been watching your Kingdom Hearts journey DeeBee. You’re almost caught up. Please don’t stop. Kingdom Hearts tugs on your hearts strings like no other. I’m happy for you.
First off some of my favorite moments watching your Playthrough‘s is seeing your reactions to certain cut scenes, secondly there are certain moments in this game that I can’t wait to see your reaction to
That intro was beautiful,deebee and burnwolf amazing job on that it almost made me shed a tear. Man I remember those days leading up to kh3 the hype was real, all the fans and theorist were going full speed and I had to dodge spoilers for so long because at the time of release I still had a pa3. It’s been a amazing journey deebee, you made it.
"How many times do we have to fight this Heartless monster?" Well, technically, Aqua fought the first one. And the smaller one is a Demon Tower, not a Demon Tide. Similar, but not the same. So you haven't fought a Demon Tide in this game yet, only in 0.8 . And technically, Riku was the one who fought the Demon Tower in this game, not Sora. So the one in Twilight Town is the first version of that enemy that Sora and pals have ever faced.
Some trivia I want to point out from a gameplay perspective. While Water as an element type was introduced in Dream Drop Distance, it wasn’t until III when the Water spell was introduced. Also before anyone points out Demyx’s water abilities in previous games, they were classified as Ice magic back then so it technically doesn’t count.
Dude, the intro is simply beautiful. Goosebumps and tears. Thanks for making me remember the emotions i lived in 20 years. May your heart be your guiding key
Honesty no idea what convinced you to start playing I apologize, but I'm so happy you're enjoying the whole experience the way its meant to be! Loving watching your journey and all the AHA! moments for you in the story! I don't think I would ever say that KH is the best franchise ever made, but it has so much charm and effort put into it and you just end up getting lost in this huge adventure. I'll never regret building the raft and trying to escape my tiny island home to see greater sites! Again, love your content and keep on having fun with this series!
Here we go...I've patiently waited (and watched the journey along the way of course) for this. The past several days we just got hit with KH content video after video, and I almost wondered if there would be a suspenseful wait before the uploading for KH3 began, but here we are! (I know I could've watched the stream VODs sooner, but the edited content is more my cup of tea)
First of all, congratulations for making it to Kingdom Hearts 3! It's been a long road. - You can customize Donald and Goofy's AI somewhere in the menu, including Donald's healing frequency (maybe in Config? I don't remember exactly where, sorry). - The gameplay in this game is so ridiculously fun and fluid! This is what finally convinced my best friend to give this series a try (after my years of attempts at convincing him). Even the transitions between custcene and gameplay is pretty much seamless now. The team attacks are so much fun! The theme park attractions are hit or miss honestly...but regarding their making the game too easy, I believe the attractions are location-based, not random. You wouldn't be able to use the roller coaster outside of specific large boss battles, for example. So don't worry about it too much. - If you're looking for a challenge, there are optional boss battles in the DLC that are plenty insane, even on normal difficulty and at max level. - I'm so disappointed we didn't get a Hades boss battle. After the titans boss battle it really looked like we were going to have to fight Hades next and I was SO hyped for it in my playthrough. Hades cracks me up. The more of him, the better. That's my one disappointment with Olympus. - The Riku x Mickey bromance in this game is strong. AND they're dressed like twinsies. - Your reaction to seeing Xigbar was hilarious. You're not done with him, sorry, haha. - I had the same "WHICH other Riku?" reaction to that Dark World cutscene as you the first time. There are so many versions of so many characters now... And honestly the answer here is one that I wasn't even considering. This series... - It's actually pretty funny that even Maleficent wanted nothing to do with Pandora's box. Also I love how she (and other once big antagonists) are just old acquaintances to Sora and company by now, and they're able to just have casual conversations without those necessarily devolving into boss battles. - And YESSS being able to keep both Donald and Goofy in the party while having a guest party member is the best thing ever!!!
Was there for the first KH3 stream. Literally felt the magic of hearing its Dearly Beloved rendition for the first time all over again through you! Here's to amazing future streams and videos of this amazing game Dee!
Hello Dee! I don't usually comment much on videos, in fact, this is the first I'm leaving a comment on your channel, but after watching this video, I really want to express how happy I am to see you get to KH3. I'm not very active on Twitch so I wait for video uploads to catch up, and I just have to say, seeing your journey all the way up to KH3 has always reminded way I love and keep going back to this series. Watching you learn the combat, seeing your reactions to most of the cutscenes, it's such a joy! It always puts a smile on my face, and your commentary can always give me a good laugh! Seeing you start kh3 feels like I'm playing the game for the first time again. I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels the same, and it's not just from your KH playthrough. I know you're much farther in the game on Twitch, and I can't wait to see your adventure continue. Keep it up man, you're making so many smile!
Feels good to finally see him get this far😭 I remember last year when he started playing Kh1 around the time I just beat it for the first time 😂🙏 I love this series so much can’t wait till Dee is caught up and has to wait like the rest of us 😂😂
I’m begging you dee! Whenever you get your second form, you keep finishing it off without doing any meaningful damage. Haha you gotta keep attacking the enemy so you can get more damage off! Loving the gameplay so far! 😆
What's your order of favorite Kingdom Hearts games? Mines.... KH 1 KH Dream Drop Distance KH Birth By Sleep KH 3/Re Mind KH ReCoded KH 358/2 KH 2 KH Fragmentary Passage KH Union X KH Chain of Memories KH Guitar Hero KH Birth By Sleep beats KH3 only because I love the move set mix and create system so much. KH DDD was a absolutely incredible experience for a handheld system. The 3d/ flow motion was great. KH 1 of course started it all. The best part of KH1 is how little it holds your hand. You truly feel like your on an adventure.
I love the use of the video game esque actions. I played it on normal mode not proud and I found the game plenty difficult, later on especially. Olympus is basically all tutorial so it’s gonna be pretty easy. I’m glad you’re enjoying it! I’m loving all your reactions to this! It’s so fun to watch and I hope you enjoy! They did an amazing job with the game!
Let’s freaking gooo!! Been waiting for this for quite some time, and you almost had me going when you said that you had finally played it with the Home game in this video wish I’m glad that it’s just the first part!
Man, what a journey! Even tho I played these games years ago when they all released. But experiencing it again through your point of view is awesome! Knowing so much of the story already I couldn’t wait for you to finally hit KH3 and just have your mind blown away with what the game reveals!! This is the moment we all been waiting for!!
Also the free haircut Riku got from the heartless.. cant get over it, but I’m thankful to them still. Better look. They sure get style points for that.
they're all like: "Sora lost his powers" meanwhile Sora can run up walls, learned a new elemental spell and can summon fricking pirate ships and trains. lost his powers my ass
@@lappiestofdogslapdog obviously BUT they really go in on it and don't do a very good job of it. Kh2 did the same thing but didn't have to explain it and him "go get his powers back"
Oh just a heads up you shouldnt use stun impact right away, if you keep hitting a heartless over and over again you'll build up those same arrows and it will evolve into a new attack, it's like that for almost all keyblades Stun impact > stronger finisher > strongest finisher
So happy to see how far you’ve come with Kingdom Hearts 😄 This series is my absolute favorite, and I can’t wait to see your reactions to everything coming up later on!
I don't really use the attractions either :) They look awesome! But I don't really like to use them. When I see you play I remember I have stuff like shortcuts too hahah. Love to watch you play through the games. I'm not a veteran either and playing it myself and then watching you do it, helps clear the story a bit XD
Cudos to whoever created your opening this time. Wow is all i can say. On another note. FINALLY!! Ive been watching since the beginning and im so excited that youve caught up to all us fans of this crazy series!
Yes! I wasn't able to watch the beginning live cuz I was working, so definitely glad to watch this now! Also, Second Form is an extension to your combos, so don't press "Finish" until the very end.
Wow that intro was beautiful. Yeah the attractions make the game esier, but there are so cool. Re-expirience it with you will be so much fun I can't wait. May your heart be your guiding key.
I'll finally be able to watch a decent gameplay of this game :'3 thanks a lot for bringing it here :'D And my gosh, that intro with the chess board and the ceramic players, damn so good!!
I finished this game in 2 days, so I don't actually remember if it tells you. But I always felt like the "Other me." that Riku refers too is either Past Riku (since DDD brought in Time Travel, and it IS the Realm of Darkness. Time is wonky anyways.) Or it's for the Dark Riku. I.e. the Riku that looks like Ansem, and was born from the Darkness in Riku.
@@SBaby I personally thought the pacing in kh3 was better than Kh2. In kh2 You could go to 3 or 4 worlds in a row before the main story picked up again. In Kh3 its literally first Disney and then plot, Disney and then plot and that keeps going. Having things gruadually fed to you feels a lot better to me than a complete story halt.
@@mellemadswoestenburg1296 The problem with KHIII's pacing is that for the majority of the game, it's just the characters repeating themselves (to the point where you basically get the same cutscene three times), and almost nothing noteworthy happens in the Disney worlds, outside of characters showing up to explain things. Everything else that happens in those worlds is local to those worlds. All of the dramatic plot points happen in the last act, with a majority of them being marathoned in the last maze of the game with no room to breathe between them. KHII on the other hand would have you go through a couple worlds, then something important would happen, you go through a couple more worlds, defend Disney Castle from a siege, go through a few more worlds, defend Hollow Bastion from a siege, briefly revisit worlds and kill a few Organization members in the process, advancing the plot further and revealing Hollow Bastion's true name, then the endgame events don't feel nearly as marathoned as they did in III, because many of the dramatic plot points already happened. That's what I mean when I say they could have spread these out. And they could have easily come up with a narrative reason to do this.
Piano simple and clean with the custom intro, and even the shadow being white, and Roxas Xion, and Axel being white with a dark cloak… beautiful Edit: AND it ends with face my fears!? Who made this intro?!
Holy shit that opening. That was extremely well done and saw some foreshadowing in there. Also I remember mine and my brother's reaction to the II.8 title. We have been fans of the series near the beginning so he cursed that title since we've been waiting so long and I laughed at the absurdity of it all (and my brother's reaction.) we didn't sleep much the next few days, playing it all the way through fast to not get spoilers but not too fast as to miss the story. I found it hilarious that the heartless gave riku a new haircut.
If you are planning to do a critical playthrough of any of the KH games, I would definitely recommend this one and its DLC out of all of them. For me it was a great challenge playing through all of it cuz it actually allowed me to utilize everything the game gives you, and there's significantly more boss attacks you can block than KH2 for example. Just something to consider if you're looking for a game to do a critical mode playthrough on. Also I'd recommend looking into some mods for this game after you finish your playthrough, cuz the modding community for this game is so amazing.
Dont know if it was mentioned before, but Second Form has two more Finishers when you do more combos with it. And love your Videos, even tho I already played and watched all KH games I still really enjoy watching other ppl enjoying this franchise too :D
Donald's Cure in this game is actually worse than in the other games (or any other character's Cure for that matter) because unlike previously party members have to be close enough to you in order to heal, and at the same time the battlefields are generally larger than before so they would be healing less often.
15:25 Can someone explain to me what this means? I've played all the games and am up to date yet can only speculate why it looks like A) Xehanort is in awe of Sora's power B) Xehanort knows his fate here or is hoping to defy it. Actually after seeing the finale of Unchained X, it could be that Xehanort is remembering the light. I feel like Nomura is throwing very subtle hints. Remember we have yet to see Xehanort's story fully told even though we are out of the Xehanort saga according to Nomura.
I love the animation from the beginning of the video!!! It's so nostalgic with the mashup of both Simple And Clean and Face My Fears!!! I love the characters as chess pieces!!! The whole animation reminds me of the credits of Avengers Age Of Ultron
I have been watching this entire series for the past few weeks to catch up in time for this game. Now that I'm caught up, maybe I can catch a stream soon.
@@Daydream_N I don't think I died either in critical except in some portal fights and against DLC bosses. Did oyu try the black code mode? It really changes things and makes the game extra hard even in easy.
1:20:23 I'm not well versed in Greek mythology, but even I know Pandora's Box is not to be trifled with. 1:28:50 Sora is an undeniably skilled fighter, but certain traits of his can be concerning.
I've fallen beind on the streams (not surprising given I'm heading straight into exam season) so I'll be relying on the RUclips vods from now on - thanks very much, Dee and editor!

- The gameplay in this game is so ridiculously fun and fluid! This is what finally convinced my best friend to give this series a try (after my years of attempts at convincing him). Even the transitions between custcene and gameplay is pretty much seamless now. The team attacks are so much fun! The theme park attractions are hit or miss honestly...but regarding their making the game too easy, I believe the attractions are location-based, not random. You wouldn't be able to use the roller coaster outside of specific large boss battles, for example. So don't worry about it too much.
- If you're looking for a challenge, there are optional boss battles in the DLC that are plenty insane, even on normal difficulty and at max level.
- I'm so disappointed we didn't get a Hades boss battle. After the titans boss battle it really looked like we were going to have to fight Hades next and I was SO hyped for it in my playthrough. Hades cracks me up. The more of him, the better. That's my one disappointment with Olympus.
- The Riku x Mickey bromance in this game is strong. AND they're dressed like twinsies.
- Your reaction to seeing Xigbar was hilarious. You're not done with him, sorry, haha.
- I had the same "WHICH other Riku?" reaction to that Dark World cutscene as you the first time. There are so many versions of so many characters now... And honestly the answer here is one that I wasn't even considering. This series...
- It's actually pretty funny that even Maleficent wanted nothing to do with Pandora's box. Also I love how she (and other once big antagonists) are just old acquaintances to Sora and company by now, and they're able to just have casual conversations without those necessarily devolving into boss battles.
- And YESSS being able to keep both Donald and Goofy in the party while having a guest party member is the best thing ever!!!
Yo that opening animation is sick! I love how they made every character in the chess color theme on it
Was there for the first KH3 stream. Literally felt the magic of hearing its Dearly Beloved rendition for the first time all over again through you! Here's to amazing future streams and videos of this amazing game Dee!
If Union Cross tested Dee Bees sanity, I wonder how KH3 will hold up to…?
He is not going to survive
KH3 by itself isn't that complicated
@@Geobot3000 no, but it's the easiest game to finish
But imagine what happens when he reaches THAT man
Yes the one who bears the sigle can't wait to see his reaction to seeing that scene
Hello Dee! I don't usually comment much on videos, in fact, this is the first I'm leaving a comment on your channel, but after watching this video, I really want to express how happy I am to see you get to KH3.
I'm not very active on Twitch so I wait for video uploads to catch up, and I just have to say, seeing your journey all the way up to KH3 has always reminded way I love and keep going back to this series. Watching you learn the combat, seeing your reactions to most of the cutscenes, it's such a joy! It always puts a smile on my face, and your commentary can always give me a good laugh! Seeing you start kh3 feels like I'm playing the game for the first time again. I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels the same, and it's not just from your KH playthrough. I know you're much farther in the game on Twitch, and I can't wait to see your adventure continue. Keep it up man, you're making so many smile!
Feels good to finally see him get this far😭 I remember last year when he started playing Kh1 around the time I just beat it for the first time 😂🙏 I love this series so much can’t wait till Dee is caught up and has to wait like the rest of us 😂😂
I’m begging you dee! Whenever you get your second form, you keep finishing it off without doing any meaningful damage. Haha you gotta keep attacking the enemy so you can get more damage off! Loving the gameplay so far! 😆
He already learned how to play second form. Plus he just finished Monster world during his last stream
@@NightSkyVII Oh nice! I guess I should catch up on the streams!
Pete wanted to keep and open Pandora's box, which is said contains all the horrors of humanity and will bring the armagedon when opened.
What's your order of favorite Kingdom Hearts games?
Mines....
KH 1
KH Dream Drop Distance
KH Birth By Sleep
KH 3/Re Mind
KH ReCoded
KH 358/2
KH 2
KH Fragmentary Passage
KH Union X
KH Chain of Memories
KH Guitar Hero
KH Birth By Sleep beats KH3 only because I love the move set mix and create system so much. KH DDD was a absolutely incredible experience for a handheld system. The 3d/ flow motion was great. KH 1 of course started it all. The best part of KH1 is how little it holds your hand. You truly feel like your on an adventure.
I love the use of the video game esque actions. I played it on normal mode not proud and I found the game plenty difficult, later on especially. Olympus is basically all tutorial so it’s gonna be pretty easy. I’m glad you’re enjoying it! I’m loving all your reactions to this! It’s so fun to watch and I hope you enjoy! They did an amazing job with the game!
Love your let’s plays man. Enjoy this one. You deserve it. Can’t wait to see all your reactions to the story.
Linkinhood smashed it thumbnail art is amazing 🙌🏼 🔥
Let’s freaking gooo!! Been waiting for this for quite some time, and you almost had me going when you said that you had finally played it with the Home game in this video wish I’m glad that it’s just the first part!
Man, what a journey! Even tho I played these games years ago when they all released. But experiencing it again through your point of view is awesome! Knowing so much of the story already I couldn’t wait for you to finally hit KH3 and just have your mind blown away with what the game reveals!! This is the moment we all been waiting for!!
God I love this series. I can't find a game series like this anywhere else except for kingdom hearts.
Bern, you are a legend. Beautiful as always! Dee, enjoy the ride!
Also the free haircut Riku got from the heartless.. cant get over it, but I’m thankful to them still. Better look. They sure get style points for that.
10:11 BRO that Spongebob intro killed me xD
I laughed so hard 🤣🤣🤣
they're all like: "Sora lost his powers"
meanwhile Sora can run up walls, learned a new elemental spell and can summon fricking pirate ships and trains.
lost his powers my ass
You're overthinking it. It's just an in-universe excuse for Sora to start back at level 1.
@@lappiestofdogslapdog obviously BUT they really go in on it and don't do a very good job of it. Kh2 did the same thing but didn't have to explain it and him "go get his powers back"
@@tumultuousv I felt like the explanation for KH2 was "this journey's going to be TWICE as difficult as your last"
Oh just a heads up you shouldnt use stun impact right away, if you keep hitting a heartless over and over again you'll build up those same arrows and it will evolve into a new attack, it's like that for almost all keyblades
Stun impact > stronger finisher > strongest finisher
So happy to see how far you’ve come with Kingdom Hearts 😄 This series is my absolute favorite, and I can’t wait to see your reactions to everything coming up later on!
I don't really use the attractions either :) They look awesome! But I don't really like to use them. When I see you play I remember I have stuff like shortcuts too hahah. Love to watch you play through the games. I'm not a veteran either and playing it myself and then watching you do it, helps clear the story a bit XD
Phil doesn't talk because his Japanese voice actor died. Same with Lexaeus and Dilan.
Is that really the case with Aeleus and Dilan?
@@MegaSpideyman you made me question my own information. They are both still alive but suuuuper old.
LONG HAVE I WAITED FOR THIS. Been watchin your journey through KH for a while now.
Cudos to whoever created your opening this time. Wow is all i can say.
On another note. FINALLY!! Ive been watching since the beginning and im so excited that youve caught up to all us fans of this crazy series!
Yes! I wasn't able to watch the beginning live cuz I was working, so definitely glad to watch this now! Also, Second Form is an extension to your combos, so don't press "Finish" until the very end.
Wow that intro was beautiful.
Yeah the attractions make the game esier, but there are so cool. Re-expirience it with you will be so much fun I can't wait.
May your heart be your guiding key.
Dude that opening anim was beautiful!
that animation by Bernwolf was SICK!!!
I really appreciate that!
I'll finally be able to watch a decent gameplay of this game :'3 thanks a lot for bringing it here :'D
And my gosh, that intro with the chess board and the ceramic players, damn so good!!
Just saying, you are in for one hell of a trip! (Can't wait for you to play the dlc)
Same here.
Should be incredible to see what he thinks of that.
I finished this game in 2 days, so I don't actually remember if it tells you.
But I always felt like the "Other me." that Riku refers too is either Past Riku (since DDD brought in Time Travel, and it IS the Realm of Darkness. Time is wonky anyways.)
Or it's for the Dark Riku. I.e. the Riku that looks like Ansem, and was born from the Darkness in Riku.
It's Replica Riku. The one he talks to on the beach and who defeats himself at the end of the game.
@@lappiestofdogslapdog spoiler
Yes, KH 3 is awesome for using all the ideas from previous games, nothing was wasted. That's good game design, thanks Nomura.
yeah yknow except for everything that was fun in kh2 is nowhere to be found lol
@@SSlash well to be buzzkill, party pooper
The game design is fantastic. If only the pacing of the narrative was as good...
@@SBaby I personally thought the pacing in kh3 was better than Kh2. In kh2 You could go to 3 or 4 worlds in a row before the main story picked up again. In Kh3 its literally first Disney and then plot, Disney and then plot and that keeps going. Having things gruadually fed to you feels a lot better to me than a complete story halt.
@@mellemadswoestenburg1296 The problem with KHIII's pacing is that for the majority of the game, it's just the characters repeating themselves (to the point where you basically get the same cutscene three times), and almost nothing noteworthy happens in the Disney worlds, outside of characters showing up to explain things. Everything else that happens in those worlds is local to those worlds. All of the dramatic plot points happen in the last act, with a majority of them being marathoned in the last maze of the game with no room to breathe between them.
KHII on the other hand would have you go through a couple worlds, then something important would happen, you go through a couple more worlds, defend Disney Castle from a siege, go through a few more worlds, defend Hollow Bastion from a siege, briefly revisit worlds and kill a few Organization members in the process, advancing the plot further and revealing Hollow Bastion's true name, then the endgame events don't feel nearly as marathoned as they did in III, because many of the dramatic plot points already happened.
That's what I mean when I say they could have spread these out. And they could have easily come up with a narrative reason to do this.
That animation was pretty sick
Piano simple and clean with the custom intro, and even the shadow being white, and Roxas Xion, and Axel being white with a dark cloak… beautiful
Edit: AND it ends with face my fears!? Who made this intro?!
This intro is so epic it made me cry the first time i saw it on twitch!! 💙😭 Love this series so much!
Holy shit that opening. That was extremely well done and saw some foreshadowing in there. Also I remember mine and my brother's reaction to the II.8 title. We have been fans of the series near the beginning so he cursed that title since we've been waiting so long and I laughed at the absurdity of it all (and my brother's reaction.) we didn't sleep much the next few days, playing it all the way through fast to not get spoilers but not too fast as to miss the story.
I found it hilarious that the heartless gave riku a new haircut.
If you are planning to do a critical playthrough of any of the KH games, I would definitely recommend this one and its DLC out of all of them. For me it was a great challenge playing through all of it cuz it actually allowed me to utilize everything the game gives you, and there's significantly more boss attacks you can block than KH2 for example. Just something to consider if you're looking for a game to do a critical mode playthrough on.
Also I'd recommend looking into some mods for this game after you finish your playthrough, cuz the modding community for this game is so amazing.
Man this takes me back.
This is the first KH game I've finished, by the way
That was an INCREDIBLE INTRO!!! my only critic is that you should have also brought the Passion theme into the fray. 🗝✨❤
52:40 here we go with the Disney Land advertisement. Sure hope there is an explaination for all of this...
This animation made me cry. It's so good and beautiful. :) and the music brought back memories.
Dont know if it was mentioned before, but Second Form has two more Finishers when you do more combos with it.
And love your Videos, even tho I already played and watched all KH games I still really enjoy watching other ppl enjoying this franchise too :D
I enjoyed watching your KH journey since the beginning. I still can't believe you're already playing KH3!
1:26:00 "Riku is badass!". Hey, remember, it's *Master* Riku now - for a good damn reason.
Donald's Cure in this game is actually worse than in the other games (or any other character's Cure for that matter) because unlike previously party members have to be close enough to you in order to heal, and at the same time the battlefields are generally larger than before so they would be healing less often.
15:25 Can someone explain to me what this means? I've played all the games and am up to date yet can only speculate why it looks like A) Xehanort is in awe of Sora's power B) Xehanort knows his fate here or is hoping to defy it. Actually after seeing the finale of Unchained X, it could be that Xehanort is remembering the light. I feel like Nomura is throwing very subtle hints. Remember we have yet to see Xehanort's story fully told even though we are out of the Xehanort saga according to Nomura.
I think it's just alluding to Xehanort's defeat.
I love the animation from the beginning of the video!!! It's so nostalgic with the mashup of both Simple And Clean and Face My Fears!!! I love the characters as chess pieces!!! The whole animation reminds me of the credits of Avengers Age Of Ultron
And Sanctuary. It was in there too.
@@calebgoodman3028 it was? Then that's even more nostalgic
@@calebgoodman3028 I heard it now!!!
I like that thumbnail
Dear GOD!!! That intro!!! Shivers, I was getting SHIVERS. I was almost in tears by the end of it. lol
1:29:47 Actually, do you remember the Chain of Memories one, the replica.
Astounding intro, man.
The opening to this video is a beautiful master piece, well done 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Holy shit we are finally here! That opening though, insanely well done!
A second video today? Nice!
I fucking lost it when the Spongebob theme song hitted XD Genius editing by Torgue!
Bernwolf you are so talented omg!
Dee, your reaction to whenever Xigbar is on screen just makes me burst our laughing. I'm so sorry for laughing at your pain XD
I have been watching this entire series for the past few weeks to catch up in time for this game. Now that I'm caught up, maybe I can catch a stream soon.
So glad you're enjoying this.
For the difficulty complaint, it is that easy the entire game. The only challenging part is with the final boss. Critical mode fixes that problem.
Or the "black code" if you want to go into some really hardcore shit. Btw question: is he in proud or critical?
I didn't even find the finally boss difficult. I don't think I died a single time my first play through
@@Daydream_N I don't think I died either in critical except in some portal fights and against DLC bosses.
Did oyu try the black code mode? It really changes things and makes the game extra hard even in easy.
That dearly beloved at the beginning is perfect
1:20:23 I'm not well versed in Greek mythology, but even I know Pandora's Box is not to be trifled with.
1:28:50 Sora is an undeniably skilled fighter, but certain traits of his can be concerning.
Yeah, if Aqua is like Sora then she's just the non-dumb stuff.
LETS GOOO BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
I've fallen beind on the streams (not surprising given I'm heading straight into exam season) so I'll be relying on the RUclips vods from now on - thanks very much, Dee and editor!
