@@allanp8370 she is, otherwise she wouldn’t be seeing all those extra cutscenes with Xemnas talking to Aqua’s armor or the “mystery” aura fights with organization members, before the actual data fights.
“Am I bad at maths?” Nope, but here’s an easter egg. Sora is thinking of himself, Donald, Goofy, Mickey, Riku… and he subconsciously added Roxas which makes six. 🥺
@@cozykomorebi7184 Not to my knowledge. I believe Jiminy is considered as a narrator of the journal and Sora was talking about those who will stop the organization. I think he was talking about Roxas because it fits the narrative of Sora’s personality and emotions merging with him considering the other scenes before this point (with Sora crying because Roxas was leaving his friends etc).
@@Working_Dreamer At this point in the story it would make more sense if he said "With the 6-- I mean 5 of us" rather than "with the 5-- I mean 6 of us" if he was referring to Roxas, but in the tower Sora has no clue who Roxas is or that he exists in the first place. A correction is a very conscious act. Sora would never correct himself to be "more wrong" in reference to knowledge he doesn't know about. On top of this, Donald and Goofy would have corrected him going "Who is this mysterious 6th person you're referring to" if he was referencing anyone other than Jiminy. Occam's Razor would imply he is talking about Jiminy, and he corrects himself to include Jiminy so he doesn't feel like he's leaving him out since he is technically part of the team. Overall, I think the line was made to joke about how Jiminy is easily forgotten about.
To me, still by far the best entry in the franchise by a long shot. The amount of content they put in, of amazing moments, of fanservice, the fun battle system, the emotion, it's all there
Not to mention the story hadn't gone to crap yet. To be clear, I don't find the overall KH plot confusing, I just think it's stupid. I think it is fanfiction level bad writing to be honest (and there is no such thing as good fanfiction). It should have ended with this game. There were zero loose ends in the KH franchise at the moment of the credits rolling for KH2 making it the perfect stopping point.
@@kingofbudokai Current KH haters are so weird, it's like they don't even know why they dislike the games. What does "fanfiction level bad" even mean? Like, genuinely, what? I can't imagine thinking stories like BBS or Days are bad, but hey, it's you who's missing out in the end so no loss.
That was also my first KH! Except after I played days I learned bits and pieces of the story through various other media. I played days- then reCOM- then KH 2- and finally kh1
A even sweeter bit of the whole "Sephiroth is Cloud's inner darkness" plotline, is that Tifa is a manifestation of Cloud's inner light, all confirmed by Nomura himself.
Yay!! KH 2 was my first KH game, which means yeah, the first character I ever played as was Roxas. I absolutely adored the opening, and I was so confused and slightly upset when I started to play as Sora. To me, he seemed like the guy who just took Roxas from me. It took til the end of the game for me to fully understand what happened and start liking Sora. Of course, 15 years later, I love Sora like a best friend, but Roxas will always be my favorite character.
I just...I can't even with you. Every reaction you have to everything is my reaction, but expressed outwardly as opposed to my largely internal commentary. Much respect for putting yourself out there, you're adorable and amazing and entertaining, and that's why I love this channel
44:50 this entire conversation means absolutely nothing unless you know Birth By Sleep (and KH3 confirms some of it too). If you know, then this conversation means everything
I played this at release when I was a teenager (I'm old lol). Now as an adult I really appreciate the attention to detail the devs did with the monochrome steamboat Willy level with the downgraded sound quality. Didn't notice it as a kid glad this series is still beloved for things like this
Kingdom hearts perfectly encapsulates what kids love like we all had a moment in our childhoods where we would make story's of characters from other games, shows or even books meet eachother and we'd even make our own "original ocs" but this game turns that idea to 100% but in the most coolest badass way possible
After hearing you scream "Riku Stinks" in the 1st game, i can tell you're gonna be an amazing voice actor. Always looking forward to your reaction in KH as well
I love watching people experience this incredible series for the first time. It is such an important part of my childhood and it brings a warmth to my heart and a tear to my eye seeing people get to play these amazing games.
46:29 kingdom hearts 2 gave us pissed off mickey mouse the single greatest moment of my childhood and my most memorable moment from any video game growing up
24:40 I loved this moment so much when she went feral to retrieve the book. I wish I was around round for the twitch vods. I bet she was cussing the heartless out for daring to interrupt Pooh Time.
I completely forgot about RockSack. I’ll make sure not to have that happen again. But in all seriousness, I’m so glad you decided to take this journey. Kingdom Hearts is a series that means so much to me and others like me and I’m very excited to see how you’ll react to the other games.
Its always good to see when people actually understand the prologue and not just dismiss it as filler or want to play Sora 10 minutes in. Just reminds me of when I first played this back in 2006 at the age of 10.
KH2 feels like such a rich journey. Can't believe how amazing this game is... (I don't want to talk down to later installments of the series, but it just feels like different worlds of quality...)
Way back in the day there was this webcomic I used to check out about a guy named Whit who interviewed various video game characters. One of the characters he interviewed was Ansem and he commented on how remarkably similar to the word "Handsome" the name sounds and wondered if it was possible that this was intentional, that Ansem was so vain that he liked to imagine everyone calling him "Handsome" all the time... Ansem denied it, stating that Whit was being ridiculous and heartless.
33:13 Tender lumplings everywhere, life's no fun without a good scare.🎃 41:44 Once again, Goofy hit a bullseye with that run-down. 48:54 An iconic moment in Kingdom Hearts history.
Theres a moment in KH2 that you see all the time in every world you visit that when you get to playing KH3 you wonder why you never saw it and then when it happens you get overwhelmed with emotions. May just be me personally, since ive been waiting since 2006 for a KH3. But hope you get that feeling as well!
Looks like my summer vacation is.... over. Yup that shit crushes me everytime that and the last scene of kh1 where Kairi draws the extension of the papou fruit in the caves get me everytime.
KH2 let's gooooo! Can't wait to sit down for this one. KH2 was actually my intro to kingdom hearts and I regret nothing. PS Frankie you make great content so it's always worth any wait.
Frankie, keep up the good work! You are a good streamer so don't stress yourself too much about the time you take to edit your videos. Content creating can be stressful so keep your own way of creating. The community will like your content even if you don't have a video each week.
Aaaand the KH adventure continues. Sora's still a pure boy but more experienced, the duck's still a d*ck, the rat's still a rat... And you're as funny and fun to watch as ever! Loved watching you love the FF characters, and puzzle over the bits about Roxas and Axel, Diz and Ansem, Ansem and Xehanort, and Xemnas's "friends". This game confused me the most out of these games. I was so lost, like Sora. Lol You seem less confused than I was at the time though, that's good. The world of KH expanded a lot in this one, and still plays the player's heartstrings like a violin. Keep singing, Frankie!
if I learned anything from this series Frankie really doesn't like Mickey for some reason haha 😂. What a cliffhanger ending I wasn't ready for it to end!
I don't know how I just now found this channel, but I really enjoyed the Nier videos, and now I'm loving these videos as well! Really looking forward to seeing all of the reactions to come!
Imagine at the time people like me were only on ps 2 and like we played KH I and were like "ok" We ksipped chain of memories and got to KH II directly so we had no clue who Namine was in the prologue not why Sora was asleep during one year. The prolongue was confusing af
One day i'll play this game, just for my love of Cloud and Tifa. Great video though, always love your streams and highlight videos. Hope you're doing well :)
Disney had way bigger expectations for Chicken Little than they should have. But it's still a good movie. Glad he got to be part of the Kingdom Hearts Universe lol.
That Roxas prologue guts everyone. Welcome to Kingdom Hearts 2
literally my friend, i replay kh2 just for the prologue sometimes. never has a video game ever put me in such a mood
One of us!
One of us!
One of us!
I swear, Kingdom Hearts 2 is my favorite Kingdom Hearts games out of all them
"It seems my summer vacation is over..."
@@Dracobyte I've said that at the end of every summer vacation since I was 13 lol
"no one would miss me"
"that's not true!... i would..."
always gets me
"How could you say such a thing? Even if it were true..." breaks me open every time
Me at 13yo watching that scene for the first time 🥺😭😭😭
Me at 30yo watching that scene for the 1000 time 🥺😭😭😭
Organization member: Hello Roxas
Sora: I am not Roxas
Organization member: Goodbye Roxas
Sora: I am not Roxas
Why yes, it is a Just a Pancake reference
Rucksack* I corrected that for you 😂
Sora's sass level is just SO up the charts in this game. Its just so cracked XD
I blame Roxas's influence. Ever since he merged with Sora, he shared many qualities with him. Sora is more aggressive and sassy in this game thanks to him.
@@kmpgos4158 DiZ did say that Roxas should share some of his hatred with Sora after all
@@MrVince329 Yeah, and he sure did. Sora isn't playing around with Organization XIII but literally slaying them.
Man doesn’t need a keyblade to roast an org member out of existence. (That is IF they exist…)

I still tear up at the line "looks like my summer vacation is over" 😭😭😭 and I've been playing this since launch in like 2005.
This and the conversation between Roxas and Namine. Brutal
Have you played/watched 358/2 days?

Hearing Donald and Goofy say Sephiroth will always be the trippiest thing I’ve ever heard
358/2 was my first KH game... to see Roxas get done dirty in KH2 afterwards was even more mindblowing considering the order of release
At least they gave him his own body in KH3. But they relegated him to side character status, So I’m not sure the trade off is worth it.
That was also my first KH! Except after I played days I learned bits and pieces of the story through various other media. I played days- then reCOM- then KH 2- and finally kh1
