Just the mental image of Sora wearing the clothes scattered in his room rather than his iconic outfit scares me. -Frowny Face white undershirt -Green Button-up t-shirt. -Brown Cargo Pants
@@WindyREDPanda yeah in kingdom hearts 2 when sora first gets his clothes the fairy godmothers change the color of his kingdom hearts 1 clothes like green and blue pretty cool considering we never really see those clothes in different colors
What's really interesting is that London is somehow just fine when you visit in neverland, but the Dalmation's world was swallowed by darkness despite that movie taking place in London
I have always thought that each Disney movie is its own world, therefore there is more than one London in the KH universe (differentiated by time and by visual style)
It’s aged EXTREMELY well. This was my first full PS2 games so when I’d play other games I expected the same level of quality...For the most part that’s not what I got lol.
@@MegaSpideyman I feel like details like this are lost in newer era games. I cant tell you the last time i touched a video game. But games back in the day seemed to respect the players enough to leave them things to figure out or just cool details the new devs really dont get paid the make since the focus is mainly cash first
@@STARMAN-it8zb which is strange that things like this are not brought back i mean it made kinda sense in the early 2000s not wanting to put in the extra work when only a few people notice but thanks to the Internet 1% noticing is enough so that everyone will know
@@MysticZemo That actually makes sense she'd always sass him out of endirment and it's also like they kept some of the early ideas they had about the destiny's trio dynamic back before they decided to replace them with Donald and Goofy as companions after finalizing all the ideas. Actually that means every sassy comment the game says to you is just Kairi talking to Sora telling him to get a move on lol and it's a nice detail the text box seems to change color depending on the world and sometimes to fit the mood of the text ah I'm glad I was born in the early 2000 it helps me appreciate these simple little details.
While I made the connection that Sora had a reaction to the castle slide in Deep Jungle due to having Kairi's heart inside him, I never honestly interpreted the slide as _literally_ being the Hollow Bastion castle pre-corruption, I just though it was similar looking enough to provoke a feeling of familiarity in Kairi. That being said, now that you've shown them side by side they are _a lot_ more similar than I remembered so perhaps there is an interesting mystery there as to how an image of it came to be in another world.
It's funny you say that because I'm the opposite. I always thought it was Hollow Bastion but I never put 2 and 2 together on Kairi's heart in Sora reacting to it.
Uh... I'm just spit balling here but we all know that not all people from the worlds that are destroyed fall to darkness with the world some escape but I guess the same counts for objects maybe someone drew a picture of the castle and then when hollowbaston was destroyed the drawing probably got to deep jungle maybe its the same thing with some of the other slides but its just a theory
I honestly felt something similar like what you felt when I saw it except I didnt realize that kairi heart was in sora at first that was a shock I'm in the end of the world right now just finished the first boss off to defeat ansmon first round sorry I don't really know how to spell his name by memory
Thunder being the right magic for the depressed mushroom could also be because in japanese "genki", which means electricity, can also mean "feeling well" or "feeling cheerful", so you cheer up the mushroom.
Not quite: "Genki" (元気) does mean "lively" or "energetic", but the word for electricity is "denki" (電気). It could still be a play on words with how similar they're pronounced, however (so you use "denki" to make the mushroom feel "genki" lol)
I just realized how the shadow Sora fight fits into Neverland. Because Peter pan fights his shadow in the beginning of the film. So it's kinda cool how Riku uses this power for the first in Neverland, as like an nod to the movie. Edit: the cat busting through the floor is cool.
this stuff is what makes kingdom hearts a way better game than just its wacky wild plot, when u just take time to explore stuff in the kh games u find some neat stuff.
i read the Ansem Reports for the first time when replaying KH1 recently and the Gummi Block one blew my mind. that’s such a cool detail and makes so much sense. i love those subtle world building ones
Really love these videos. Kingdom hearts 1 is my favorite in the series just because they cared about putting so much detail into the worlds. Keep it up man
Now that it's been established that Ven's heart was in Sora's heart. Perhaps the sad face on the shirt was personification of Ven's emotions being shown through Sora.
One thing I always assumed about the light above the mushrooms was that they were being sunbleached in a desert or something and the lightning was supposed to be foretelling of rain
i don't know if this is just me spouting nonsense, but seeing all the things sora presumably made in his room, along with being excited to build a raft, makes me thing that he's a very creative kid, which i think is really neat, especially whenever you factor in the idea of creating gummi ships. i like to imagine he's telling donald and goofy what pieces to go where and stuff in a little gummi garage at traverse town whenever im building my ships :)
There's something that I thought I remembered one of the moogles in the Accessory Shop saying when I first played the game, something about the Ribbon, and I felt like it was trying to hint at me giving the Ribbon item to Kairi once she's rescued. Of course, you can't do that and I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out how. I've never been able to find or trigger that moogle's line again, so maybe I imagined it somehow, but it's one of those strange things that's stuck with me for all these years.
i love these so much, i really appreciate all the details and secrets and world interactivity. that’s my biggest flaw with KH2 other than some storytelling issues. the worlds looked nice but were very barren and plain. i wish they’d make a modern KH with the same kind of depth in the world / level design as in the first game
Tbf the reason KH2 wasn't as wacky is because it was made in that weird edgy phase of the 2000s like the 2010s Era so they were just accommodating there audience at the time and with KH3 they tried finding a balance between the 2. There trying at least.
one thing I'd like to say, not sure how much others are aware, but it helps me out sometimes during level one runs of the game. Whenever you beat a world, whether it's sealing a keyhole or not, the world is devoid of heartless until you leave and come back, which gives the feeling that you've made the world a better and safer place. It would seem a little odd to some if immediately after beating the evil mastermind of a world that you still had to fight enemies right after. It gives a chance for you to explore danger free and collect chests and things without fear of being stopped by battles. Some areas and worlds are less noticable, like monstro, and neverland forcing you to leave or locking you off from the heartless filled sections. Agraba does the same, no heartless in town, and even shopkeepers in stalls for the one and only time in the game, but you can't enter the cave of wonders until you leave either.
9:27 they might be sassy, but it's more likely trying to aid player thought. Typical of point and click games, where a player may think of dozens of solutions to a puzzle, but the developer only implemented 2 solutions. It's the developers job through dialogue to direct what is important and what isnt; and the job of the player to interpret the intent. I suspect that is what's happening, with perhaps a side of sassy
Those textboxes remiind me of one line from Pokemon Sword and Shield. When you go to a vending machine, and then decide to buy nothing, the games just goes *"Yeah, you weren't thirsty anyway."*
Man, You have completely changed the way I see this game. When I tried going back to this game after 3 and 2, I was completely turned off. “It’s old, it’s clunky, it feels different from the others, it’s weird” Stopped playing after Deep Jungle. And then I found these videos, and went back to it recently. Nd I’ve found the game to be a lot more enjoyable. So thank you.
The gummy ship info is cool! I never thought about it about it lol. I’m realizing how many things I just accepted instead of really thinking about. I do question things a lot but I’m still missing a few apparently. Thanks for the videos!
@@Evnyofdeath I mean, it's only cursed if you think it's wrong that the games are finally of just PlayStation for the main console games. Otherwise, they're fine, minus the colors of them clashing a little bit with the reaction commands & possibly the shortcuts.
@@Scsigs No I mean the visual elements clash. The actual UI element is green to indicate its the PS Triangle button, which is green, and they have a triangle shaped highlight. The XBox's equivilent is the Y button, which is yellow and shaped like a Y. So swapping out the green triangle highlight for a yellow one clashes visually in a fairly harsh way. So, cursed.
@@Evnyofdeath So, were Square Enix just supposed to change the color of the UI to match Xbox's color of the Y button? I personally think they should've changed the triangle to be a Y, as a mod for the emulated version of 2FM did that several years ago with implementing the 360 controller's face buttons (which, imo, be thankful that Microsoft changed those buttons to have the letters be colored instead of the rest of the buttons when they designed the Xbox One's controller, since those would've stood out even worse), but the yellow would've been just ugly, honestly. Without changing a fundamental part of the game's code, outside of the PNGs for the face buttons, that's been the same for over 15 years, there's not much else they could do really. It blends better in KH3, though, with the newer engine & more realistic, if stylized, graphics, so it more stands out because of the older engine they made the games on before it. So, it's up to the individual. Personally, I don't think it's that big of a deal, but I get why some people would if they're longer-time fans than I am.
Its nice knowing someone else wishes Radiant Garden could have been fixed as it used to be when it was un-corrupted. I do not like what happened to RG from KH2 onward, the castle looked gorgeous in that slide and I so wish we could have seen it brought back as it should have been. Also thank you for even pointing out that the slide IS of Radiant Garden before KH2 changed its design completely, I really think many are unaware of that!
and for the record yes some details i knew or saw someone else point them out but i like the way you show them to us and tell us about them! in case you couldn't tell i like your content and style
In Halloween Town (if you’ve cleared the trinity list and sealed the keyhole), the Red Trinity can still appear on the stone arch wall at the Manor Ruins. If it doesn’t show, then there’s a Chimaera spawn. Little hack for those trying to quick farm synth items
5:41 he never bursted to the floor in my game. I have never seen that hole. I never knew that actually. The rare heartless that spawns in that room also doesnt apear below as I saw on youtube videos, but in the house instead.
Recently bought the Kingdom Hearts bundle Edition from my PS4 and i started following your channel to get me prepared and know a bit more of the franchise. Thanks a lot! 😎
You, my friend, are vocalizing everything I love about KH1. Compared to the other games, it has a TON of depth and details that just make it way more alive and mysterious than the others -- not in combat or the primary story, but the worlds themselves. Think about it; you don't see that kind of detail and coding outside of KH1. The only exception to this is maaaybe BBS. Not out to bash any of the other games, just miss what KH1 one had to offer despite its age.
I definitely knew about the treehouse holes because I honestly got lost on that map so many times in the early bits and that thing kept attacking me. The holes were cool to see but kinda annoying when you're fighting heartless and drop out of one lol. I only got one hole on the floor tho. No idea how someone gets a second one.
I have been playing KH snice it came out nearly 20 years ago, and I (until this very video) always thought the mushroom asking for thunder was facing heat exhaustion from his own personal sun and was asking for a blizzard spell. Now I know why that never worked. xD
The picture of the castle in deep jungle is actually a sort of stretched pic of a castle from sleeping beauty, this pic of the fallen world must have came with someone as they lost theirs but escaped like sora somehow
I assumed the light above the White Mushroom was the sun, and that the mushroom was hunched because of heatstroke or something. Thunder and lightning are part of a storm and so is rain. I figured the connection was that the mushroom was cooled down by the storm, hence feeling revitalised
I assumed the white mushroom thunder thing was that it was under a hot sun and suffering so we make a lightning cloud to block the sun for it. That was at least how I interpreted it
You should do a vid on how to get the other keyblade, shields, and wands that you dont get if you are just doing the story Oh and the trinity's, chest, and puppies to
What the heck? I always thought the Thunder reaction from the White Mushroom was supposed to be the sun shining brightly above his head, so you had to bring a storm to cover it up.
I used to think the light over the whote mushroom was in reference to sora when his life gets low because of the flashing red and his sad face so I thought it was cure and didn't know why it got mad so I skipped it when it would do it
I don't know if this is a known detail or been commented already but in KH1 the color of the paused menu background actually changes depending on whatever color is sampled from the center of the screen. :P ... I notice very niche things when I game.
I'm not sure if you already include this or anybody knows about this, so this one little detail I noticed during my playthrough is that the keyblades' keychain will chime differently depending on what keyblade you use at the time when you run or walk
8:20 pretty sure that's NOT hollow bastion. The windows around the door don't match. It's probably just a castle that looks really really similar. Of course, it may be an earlier design of the castle.
I never noticed the shadow thing..... which makes me feel a little dumb because it took me a long while to beat Shadow Sora, with me often leaving between attempts to go get more EXP and level up some, so there was plenty of opportunity for me to notice that Sora's actual shadow was missing during that whole time.
Ugh, the cosmology of how the Kingdom Hearts worlds work is always such a headache for me. The fact that the worlds used to be one is well established by Kairi's grandma's story and supported by the fact that it's apparently common knowledge amongst some people that other worlds exist, King Triton most obviously but also the fact that the Destiny Island trio seemingly know that outside their islands they're trying to get to other _worlds_ not just other _lands_ (although I don't know if that's maybe a JP-EN translation issue?). The biggest issue though is just how expansive is each world supposed to be? What is considered part of the same "world" and what isn't? In some easily missed dialogue with Alice in the cage in Wonderland it's suggested that Wonderland is a separate word from the one she's actually from (where she fell down the rabbit hole). However, on the other hand you've got Neverland where London is heavily implied to be part of the same world (it's depicted on the world icon and, most importantly, the keyhole for the world is in Big Ben). In Deep Jungle you have to question where Jane/Clayton came from to study the gorillas, presumably Deep Jungle's world must include an England at least for them to be from, right? Or is it a Wonderland situation where they actually travelled to Deep Jungle from a different world...somehow? With Atlantica Sora and co. recognise it as a wholly aquatic world on sight, so they're implying that the non-ocean artifacts that Ariel has are from other worlds, not just the surface of their own world? KHII blatantly retcons that since we see land in Atlantica's world in that game. Sorry to ramble, I've just had all this nonsense rattling around in my head for 14 years and I rarely really talk about it out loud.
This is something that I came to realize a while back too. In terms of fan fiction, you can just say, multiple universes of that that worlds/planets' universe. So a variation of that world's/planet's universe or if you want to get interesting, as people said already, you're entering the same planet/world, but different points in time. But my other question is of the whole "we used to be one world" thing. If all worlds were one leviathan or huge sized planet, but then got seperated, how does that work with continuity of said worlds? Somehow King Trident knew about that fact, but then if you think about it, how long ago was that historical fact? Because you're talking about a massive cross-over world that's an equivalent to a massive mmorpg that has all these deziens! It's even worse when you have to think about how political things were, especially borders, contients, states, and the lands of everywhere on the planet have all these various creatures intereacting with each other at one point. But then then the whole seperation of the world/planet split into pieces and the "childern" kept them alive. But my thing is how did everyone interacted with everyone back then lore wise. Especially the earthlings! People from normal Earth that ever seen other froms of life besides what's normal on earth--i.e. mermaids and such. How does a world/planet such as realistic Earth, in terms of a fictious Earth from a cartoon variant, not have the governments know about this. Unless we go to the universal route of realistic-fictional Earth and this happened in the medival age or something where mermaids and such creatures were accepted. But then a memory wipe happened when everything got seperated and fantasy creatures were just blurry memories of what's real or fiction. But then you got Lilo and Stich where these creatures are slowly being accepted in again in terms of Earth. This topic really gets me going in terms of the KH universe. Like, are all the Disney worlds from Fictional Earth retconned in this massive one world history, especially from their orignal stories (including movies too; also cartoons and such). Like if all the worlds began to reform in the end of the series or something, how is that going to work realistically?! Everyone is going to go in mass hysteria and fear, unless we go in the route of everyone remembers the world being one before or some huge event-end game war that happens and everyone watches said war or particpates and thus leads everyone to realized that there are other worlds out there. But for real, there's going to be retconning for sure if there's a one world order thing. Like how is everyone going to explain Jack Skellington, the undead creatures and such from his world, to those from another variant of Earth? Especially the Greek gods/dieties? This is something I probably should ask on a reddit post or something, but I'm for real interested how this would play out, especially fan fiction. Like, this needs to be adressed one day and not the whole Disney sugar coating of everyone doesn't find it abnormal at all and they immediately accept it as face value. And don't get me started on the Final Fantasy Characters, along with orignal worlds in the KH universe. Like... How is everything going to be explained if it all ends up being a one world thing again. ----------------------------------- tl;dr: Basically a discusstion of the realism of the KH universe involving realistic-fictional Earth(s) and other worlds/ planets as a one world order. And how would it work in a realistic fashion as you have variant Earths from different points in time and how would they be implentmented without Earth government deziens trying to go to war or something with everyone or adjust to the new life style. That or we go the route of Disney sugar coating and everyone doesn't question it at all. I.e: A talking and walking dog amongst humans (Donald and Goofy, KH versions.)
The kh verse is multiversal at least sorry to get into powerscaleing but watch Seth the programmers sora video and webcam parrots xehanort video they both go over the cosmology of kingdom hearts a bit if you want to understand the cosmology.
Just the mental image of Sora wearing the clothes scattered in his room rather than his iconic outfit scares me.

3:50 damn Nomura shadow dropped Vanitas
Did you guys know that at some point pinocchio is on Traverse Town on the Accessory Shop BEFORE you go to Monstro??
The gummy ship info is cool! I never thought about it about it lol. I’m realizing how many things I just accepted instead of really thinking about. I do question things a lot but I’m still missing a few apparently. Thanks for the videos!
I appreciate that you're using Xbox One port footage. Some people probably don't notice it, but I do.
Most people who notice it seem to joke about it rather than appreciate it lol
The XBox UI in the KH games is cursed. Its not obvious in KH1, but as soon as reaction commands show up in 2...
@@Evnyofdeath I mean, it's only cursed if you think it's wrong that the games are finally of just PlayStation for the main console games. Otherwise, they're fine, minus the colors of them clashing a little bit with the reaction commands & possibly the shortcuts.
@@Scsigs No I mean the visual elements clash. The actual UI element is green to indicate its the PS Triangle button, which is green, and they have a triangle shaped highlight. The XBox's equivilent is the Y button, which is yellow and shaped like a Y. So swapping out the green triangle highlight for a yellow one clashes visually in a fairly harsh way.
So, cursed.
@@Evnyofdeath So, were Square Enix just supposed to change the color of the UI to match Xbox's color of the Y button? I personally think they should've changed the triangle to be a Y, as a mod for the emulated version of 2FM did that several years ago with implementing the 360 controller's face buttons (which, imo, be thankful that Microsoft changed those buttons to have the letters be colored instead of the rest of the buttons when they designed the Xbox One's controller, since those would've stood out even worse), but the yellow would've been just ugly, honestly. Without changing a fundamental part of the game's code, outside of the PNGs for the face buttons, that's been the same for over 15 years, there's not much else they could do really. It blends better in KH3, though, with the newer engine & more realistic, if stylized, graphics, so it more stands out because of the older engine they made the games on before it. So, it's up to the individual. Personally, I don't think it's that big of a deal, but I get why some people would if they're longer-time fans than I am.
Its nice knowing someone else wishes Radiant Garden could have been fixed as it used to be when it was un-corrupted. I do not like what happened to RG from KH2 onward, the castle looked gorgeous in that slide and I so wish we could have seen it brought back as it should have been. Also thank you for even pointing out that the slide IS of Radiant Garden before KH2 changed its design completely, I really think many are unaware of that!
Your voice is so calming and I love your videos. Thank you 🤗
And I thought I knew everything I could about the KH series but that detail about gummi ships was news to me, love it
What about the gummi Ship trip music changing while visiting more difficult Worlds such as hollow bastion
and for the record yes some details i knew or saw someone else point them out but i like the way you show them to us and tell us about them! in case you couldn't tell i like your content and style
So holes in the tree house and the shadow being alive. You can tell they really analyzed these movies.
In Halloween Town (if you’ve cleared the trinity list and sealed the keyhole), the Red Trinity can still appear on the stone arch wall at the Manor Ruins. If it doesn’t show, then there’s a Chimaera spawn. Little hack for those trying to quick farm synth items
5:41 he never bursted to the floor in my game. I have never seen that hole. I never knew that actually. The rare heartless that spawns in that room also doesnt apear below as I saw on youtube videos, but in the house instead.
6:25 i'll never forget when me and my dad got sora up on the roof and saw sabot jump out of the treehouse into the trees, just falling 😭
Recently bought the Kingdom Hearts bundle Edition from my PS4 and i started following your channel to get me prepared and know a bit more of the franchise. Thanks a lot! 😎
I've legit played this game since its release and 100% it over and over again and never knew about sabor its so cool.
Don't forget Ventus was in Sora's heart too and he's been in Hollow Bastion too. So it was also a foreshadow both Kairi and Ventus have been there.
You, my friend, are vocalizing everything I love about KH1. Compared to the other games, it has a TON of depth and details that just make it way more alive and mysterious than the others -- not in combat or the primary story, but the worlds themselves. Think about it; you don't see that kind of detail and coding outside of KH1. The only exception to this is maaaybe BBS. Not out to bash any of the other games, just miss what KH1 one had to offer despite its age.
I always thought the picture in deep jungle was that of Beast's Castle, escpecially because Radiant Garden's Castle looks different.
I definitely knew about the treehouse holes because I honestly got lost on that map so many times in the early bits and that thing kept attacking me. The holes were cool to see but kinda annoying when you're fighting heartless and drop out of one lol. I only got one hole on the floor tho. No idea how someone gets a second one.
I have been playing KH snice it came out nearly 20 years ago, and I (until this very video) always thought the mushroom asking for thunder was facing heat exhaustion from his own personal sun and was asking for a blizzard spell. Now I know why that never worked. xD
i am obsessed with your videos and your narration.
The picture of the castle in deep jungle is actually a sort of stretched pic of a castle from sleeping beauty, this pic of the fallen world must have came with someone as they lost theirs but escaped like sora somehow
WHOA I didn't realize Oathkeeper and Oblivion had kanji in their design.
The Neverland no shadow one took me by surprise tho! They sweated out the details for sure.
6:18
Goofy- Ah Hyuck! Don´t worry Sora im on my wa-*Falls off edge* YAAH-HOO-HOO-HOO -HOOOEY
Never thought about the living shadow tying into Peter Pan.
Looks like you've been picked by the RUclips recommendation lottery ! Expect a boost in subscribers including me 👍
Great video thank you RUclips suggestions
I assumed the light above the White Mushroom was the sun, and that the mushroom was hunched because of heatstroke or something. Thunder and lightning are part of a storm and so is rain. I figured the connection was that the mushroom was cooled down by the storm, hence feeling revitalised
I assumed the white mushroom thunder thing was that it was under a hot sun and suffering so we make a lightning cloud to block the sun for it.
That was at least how I interpreted it
That Sabor fight with him breaking the floor, I want to say I got that once. Which hole, no idea.
hey just found the channel ( im an old school fan havent played KH in 10 years) I enjoy your videos!
The explanation for why the Mushroom has that light over its head is very amusing. Man, I wish the Ultimanias were officially released in English.
You should do a vid on how to get the other keyblade, shields, and wands that you dont get if you are just doing the story
Oh and the trinity's, chest, and puppies to
I Always thought that the light on top of the mushroom heartless was the sun, and you had to "change the weather" by casting thunder.
What the heck? I always thought the Thunder reaction from the White Mushroom was supposed to be the sun shining brightly above his head, so you had to bring a storm to cover it up.
I used to think the light over the whote mushroom was in reference to sora when his life gets low because of the flashing red and his sad face so I thought it was cure and didn't know why it got mad so I skipped it when it would do it
I remember the Sabor hole from my first playthrough, whenever I came back I would always fall down
Tell me I’m not the only one that got slight disturbed and jump scared by the thumbnail
Nope, pretty sure it's just you
I don't know if this is a known detail or been commented already but in KH1 the color of the paused menu background actually changes depending on whatever color is sampled from the center of the screen. :P
...
I notice very niche things when I game.
Yo these videos are super comfy.
I'm not sure if you already include this or anybody knows about this, so this one little detail I noticed during my playthrough is that the keyblades' keychain will chime differently depending on what keyblade you use at the time when you run or walk
Can we all agree to call the Gummi walls in space the "World Border" instead of the barriers between worlds?
The castle in that slide looks very different to the usual castle.
Did you know that a few keyblades have unique tapping sounds when opening chests? Try three wishes compared to the kingdom key.
If only KH3 had this level of details
Original ps2's ost>Ps4 remake
i love your videos so much
I wonder if the text boxes are so sassy because Kairi is in Sora narrating what’s going on. She is very sassy in Kh1 so it makes sense
I DIDN'T know about the teeth of Oathkeeper and Oblivion
Thats crazy cool
8:20 pretty sure that's NOT hollow bastion. The windows around the door don't match. It's probably just a castle that looks really really similar.
Of course, it may be an earlier design of the castle.
What in the actual fuck?? I've never seen that Goofy's Seven Elements shield!
I don't think the slide showed Hollow Bastion, but rather Sora's heart felt it was "familiar" due to both it and HB being large castles.
ik its been 4 months but I have never seen nor heard of the seven elements shield before
I never noticed the shadow thing..... which makes me feel a little dumb because it took me a long while to beat Shadow Sora, with me often leaving between attempts to go get more EXP and level up some, so there was plenty of opportunity for me to notice that Sora's actual shadow was missing during that whole time.
Are you going to continue this for the other games? That would be awesome :)
I would definitely like to, I have some kh2 ones noted down and some kh3 ones in mind so far
@@NovayonKH the first game will always be special but there are gems in the other games. Thank you!!
the biggest secret is the lightning cord thing in traverse town, what is that door and what does it do
3:24
Somehow I never noticed that Sora’s shadow was gone??? Yooo what.
Ugh, the cosmology of how the Kingdom Hearts worlds work is always such a headache for me. The fact that the worlds used to be one is well established by Kairi's grandma's story and supported by the fact that it's apparently common knowledge amongst some people that other worlds exist, King Triton most obviously but also the fact that the Destiny Island trio seemingly know that outside their islands they're trying to get to other _worlds_ not just other _lands_ (although I don't know if that's maybe a JP-EN translation issue?).
The biggest issue though is just how expansive is each world supposed to be? What is considered part of the same "world" and what isn't? In some easily missed dialogue with Alice in the cage in Wonderland it's suggested that Wonderland is a separate word from the one she's actually from (where she fell down the rabbit hole). However, on the other hand you've got Neverland where London is heavily implied to be part of the same world (it's depicted on the world icon and, most importantly, the keyhole for the world is in Big Ben). In Deep Jungle you have to question where Jane/Clayton came from to study the gorillas, presumably Deep Jungle's world must include an England at least for them to be from, right? Or is it a Wonderland situation where they actually travelled to Deep Jungle from a different world...somehow? With Atlantica Sora and co. recognise it as a wholly aquatic world on sight, so they're implying that the non-ocean artifacts that Ariel has are from other worlds, not just the surface of their own world? KHII blatantly retcons that since we see land in Atlantica's world in that game.
Sorry to ramble, I've just had all this nonsense rattling around in my head for 14 years and I rarely really talk about it out loud.
This is something that I came to realize a while back too. In terms of fan fiction, you can just say, multiple universes of that that worlds/planets' universe. So a variation of that world's/planet's universe or if you want to get interesting, as people said already, you're entering the same planet/world, but different points in time.
But my other question is of the whole "we used to be one world" thing. If all worlds were one leviathan or huge sized planet, but then got seperated, how does that work with continuity of said worlds? Somehow King Trident knew about that fact, but then if you think about it, how long ago was that historical fact? Because you're talking about a massive cross-over world that's an equivalent to a massive mmorpg that has all these deziens! It's even worse when you have to think about how political things were, especially borders, contients, states, and the lands of everywhere on the planet have all these various creatures intereacting with each other at one point. But then then the whole seperation of the world/planet split into pieces and the "childern" kept them alive.
But my thing is how did everyone interacted with everyone back then lore wise. Especially the earthlings! People from normal Earth that ever seen other froms of life besides what's normal on earth--i.e. mermaids and such. How does a world/planet such as realistic Earth, in terms of a fictious Earth from a cartoon variant, not have the governments know about this. Unless we go to the universal route of realistic-fictional Earth and this happened in the medival age or something where mermaids and such creatures were accepted. But then a memory wipe happened when everything got seperated and fantasy creatures were just blurry memories of what's real or fiction. But then you got Lilo and Stich where these creatures are slowly being accepted in again in terms of Earth.
This topic really gets me going in terms of the KH universe. Like, are all the Disney worlds from Fictional Earth retconned in this massive one world history, especially from their orignal stories (including movies too; also cartoons and such). Like if all the worlds began to reform in the end of the series or something, how is that going to work realistically?! Everyone is going to go in mass hysteria and fear, unless we go in the route of everyone remembers the world being one before or some huge event-end game war that happens and everyone watches said war or particpates and thus leads everyone to realized that there are other worlds out there. But for real, there's going to be retconning for sure if there's a one world order thing. Like how is everyone going to explain Jack Skellington, the undead creatures and such from his world, to those from another variant of Earth? Especially the Greek gods/dieties?
This is something I probably should ask on a reddit post or something, but I'm for real interested how this would play out, especially fan fiction. Like, this needs to be adressed one day and not the whole Disney sugar coating of everyone doesn't find it abnormal at all and they immediately accept it as face value. And don't get me started on the Final Fantasy Characters, along with orignal worlds in the KH universe. Like... How is everything going to be explained if it all ends up being a one world thing again.
-----------------------------------
tl;dr: Basically a discusstion of the realism of the KH universe involving realistic-fictional Earth(s) and other worlds/ planets as a one world order. And how would it work in a realistic fashion as you have variant Earths from different points in time and how would they be implentmented without Earth government deziens trying to go to war or something with everyone or adjust to the new life style. That or we go the route of Disney sugar coating and everyone doesn't question it at all. I.e: A talking and walking dog amongst humans (Donald and Goofy, KH versions.)
The kh verse is multiversal at least sorry to get into powerscaleing but watch Seth the programmers sora video and webcam parrots xehanort video they both go over the cosmology of kingdom hearts a bit if you want to understand the cosmology.
