@@therealbwells2024I'm going to say it now: I know we still remember the whole VoltEditzz ordeal and the huge drama that unfolded, and I was happy to see them all reconcile when they all got to play Kingdom Hearts III early, but I was not expecting to see SarahKey become one of them. After all, Volt retired from RUclips and gave ownership of his channel over to PlayStaycin. Personally, I love seeing SarahKey join them. It's always great to have a woman in the group, and we all know she's a huge Kingdom Hearts fan. She fits right in with them, and I couldn't be happier.
Im surprised quite a few people still don't know Sarah, she's considerably very well versed in KH and her passion for it shows. She finished KH1 with a dancepad, cant get any more dedicated than that
Watched this during the Twitch stream and it was so hype! Can't believe Jared brought up doing Missing Link Vlogs and Gio brought up going to Japan - BUT NOBODY BROUGHT UP DOING MISSING LINK VLOGS ACROSS JAPAN! AAAA! Also, Sarah is a great addition and she fits in with the group very naturally!
Glad to hear more confirmation that Dean's still part of the group. Not because I thought there was a falling out but just because his life has gone in a different direction than content creation. It's also really cool to see Sarah as a new member of the X-Keepers!
About the Kairi discussion: the reason why you guys say she's important is exactly the reason why I have a problem with her. She's a plot device, what you're describing is a plot device. She's used to push situationss and other characters forward but doesn't feel like a full-fledged character herself since she's never or rarely given the space to shine on her own or develop. Even in MoM she just "turns" into Sora. I got hyped when they said she'd be training with Master Aqua from now on. Now this character arc, and how the table has turned with Sora is something I look forward to. They've done Kairi dirty giving her the stereotypical shonen love interest treatment but im hyped for her future now.
God, this makes me nostalgic. Takes me back to high school when I was still passionate about Kingdom Hearts and always waited for their podcast and reaction videos to start. I wish I was still passionate about it. This makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside though. Also kinda makes me sad.
I feel like KH3 is kinda the KH1 of the second decade, in a sense, since it set up a new saga alongside ending the original. MoM is this era's CoM. That makes KH4 the new KH2. Meaning that the explosion of smaller games could probably be AFTER KH4 as we saw following KH2 during the first decade. Then there is Missing Link, which is basically Square getting a headstart on the X game(s) of the new saga and setting up new lore that will tide us over until 4.
I discovered the X-Keepers after one of the later kh3 trailers. Never will I forget playing black flag and listening to you all theorizing. It's so sick having these back!
And about Roxas: I don't think there will be a major focus on him in kh4 but I don't think he'll just be chilling either. He must feel indebt to Sora so I doubt he'd sit idly whime this is going on. Everyone will likely be involved to some extent because they wouldn't be here without Sora.
I'd really love to see a redo of the data battles from all of them (especially Cynical), because I think they're all rusty, but some of these reactions and moves just get stuck in your head and help you in every next attempt. I restarted KH2 Level 1 twice (every time with about a 6 months between quitting and restarting) and the last attempt was like a walk in the park until I reached TWTNW (even Xaldin)... I'd love to see some of these "Wait.. That's it?" moments from them as well 😁
Favorite kh villain hands down, Xemnas! When they confronted him at “TWTNW” calling his bluff; what he said after sent chills down my body! And he be choking motherfukas 😂 he just straight up choked sora and threw him in the air, I think he choked Micky as well 😂
I am so in for the Jared Vlogs! I was able to travel around NZ for 6months last year and have seen almost all of the country and it has such beautiful places, so hopefully he will be able to enjoy those himself and make some great content in the meantime
34:19 I really like SkywardWings statement towards that technology gap. I'm 39, so I grew up in the 90s and the first "new" console generation for me was the N64 and the PS2. So many people celebrate games with pixel graphics (Minecraft, OG Chain of Memories, Undertale, etc.), because it's a "style" nowadays, but to me it was a "finally these times are over" moment, when I first played things like Mario 64 and FFX (I only recognized KH1 when KH2 was already announced, so I was a little late on this one). And I think this "style" thinking is a symptom of this "peak of graphics", that he's talking about 🤔. It's like when cavemen drew pictures with their bare hands. We see this as a style, because we never knew a time, when advanced painting techniques and photos weren't available to everyone. Bob Ross would look like a magician to them, just like PS3 graphics still look awesome to me 😅
I would've never ever thought that any of you all would do a collaboration, I love it super ode. I just heard about Summer Game Fest and I am glad that it's another way to keep the E3 love alive in a way. I have so many questions for you guys. I want to know with Missing Links right, are you all happy with the direction where the story is going for Kingdom Hearts? it feels like its to much going to fast. in my point of View I feel we went from the missing Masters to the dandelions & now the Dark Road story and with missing link being the Sequel. I am just afraid that they will be introducing so much to the lore & the creators / story team might get confuse or mess up.
I actually wouldn't mind mobile only games but give them controller support and make them play in a way that feels like they were more designed for controller play like Wuthering Waves is on PC. We don't really have handhelds come out anymore since the Switch is a hybrid system, plus I don't necessarily wanna have to buy another console to play more KH as someone who has already bought a few consoles over the years when new KH games drop for them. I just wanna be able to play everything on my PC and phone at this point.
Love this group, literally been watching everyone here for 10+ years. Just want to say in regards to FF14 that ARR is bad until the end of it. The last 2 or 3 patches of ARR are fire. Before that.. it has its moments lol
Another year another one X-keepers vid ;-; Always sad to see them all together just once especially always them saying they gonna do something together XD Hopefully see yall again!
I'm so confident we're getting new Kingdom Hearts news this year I will say with full confidence that we're getting a new trailer next month, a release date by the end of the year, and that it's coming out next year. In my heart I believe these things to be true.
All the Kingdom Hearts III Hype Train memories of these guys sitting down together to discuss the series are flooding back. Takes me back to the good old days of high school and watching the E3 events, then wondering what their reactions to the new trailers would be. Jared never disappointed with his. He's my favorite of the group. I'm glad to have them all back together, and welcome, SarahKey. We hope you love being a part of their crew.
@@mauriciogarcia4795 I got really use to his videos covering kingdom hearts too. Kingdom hearts 4 will be around at some point so we still got something to look forward to.
About that Xemnas [ Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days ] character description. EVERYTHING is PARADOX. XEMNAS is a WIELDer of paradox. To human means of comprehension for what paradox is, PARADOX is all. Paradox is NOTHING in particular. Paradox IS and paradox still is not. Paradox is nothing ( in particular ). From paradox, everything else is.
Personally anti-aqua showing up in the trailers was the main reason i became a fan of the series. I had played ddd and UX before that but noje of the other ones so i got the collections for my ps4 and played through every game that summer
Kingdom Hearts Re:Birth By Sleep. A potential future Kingdom Hearts Game. Kingdom Hearts players never got a chance to see [ Eraqus and Xehanort's Childhood Saga - Or is that Kingdom Hearts The MISSing LINK ]?
YA'LL. Sarah KNOWS. Yazora is Sora's parallel opposite. Yazora is who causes Sora to question self. Yazora is the rift between the [ dream worlds - Disney worlds ] and [ Tokyo ]. Sarah made an EXCELLENT answer. AND the name Sarah sounds close to Sora, too. Sarah is INTERESTING.
I know these questions weren't directed towards me, but I'm gonna answer: my favorite Kingdom Hearts character is Riku, and my least favorite is Larxene.
I can’t speak for everyone but for me personally, even though Kairi has done things, it feels like she’s been doing the same things since 2002. So it was pretty underwhelming when after making her a secret ending in DDD that we barely spent time with her in KH3 and when she got a spotlight it was her getting murdered after hearing about her training multiple times. 💀
You’re kind of leaving out her going toe to toe with Xemnas and Xion in REMIND, fighting Master Xehanort alongside Sora, etc. I’m not saying her characters at her full potential, but if you factor that in, and her literally saving everyone by Sora holding onto his connection to her in order to keep from fading away, thereby saving the others, she actually does a lot in KH3. I agree she needs more of a spotlight, I just don’t get why people like to downplay the things she has done.
@@Erikthedood Here’s my issue, everyone had to wait an entire year for them to make her playable and doing more active things. I’m happy they’re there, but I can’t in good faith be okay how that’s presented. It comes off more as their response to people’s complaints rather than intended; like them adding FF characters. Kairi being the reason Sora survives and him helping everyone is fine and she definitely helped in KH3; it’s just for me that’s not much different than her being the catalyst for Sora transforming back to normal in KH1 or her feelings opening the door to light in KH2. It’s well established she is this man’s anchor, drive, and their connection to each other will get them through the hardest of times. Kairi actually joining the adventure and fighting was something new, a big deal, and presented as a major moment where they talked about her training multiple times and how it’s in a place that would accelerate things. I personally wasn’t expecting her to keep up with Sora and Riku effortlessly, but I wasn’t expecting the story to kidnap her again and murder her without an actual fight for a full year. It leaves a bad taste in peoples’ mouths. Especially when Melody of Memories happens next and they have her moment shift into transforming into Sora. I love Kairi and I will never say she’s useless or didn’t do anything because that’s untrue. Doesn’t change how they really don’t treat her that well in the story and in the event they do future things that’s amazing, it doesn’t excuse some prior decisions or invalidate people’s gripes because we can only work off of what we were given at the time.
Cynical’s brain during the lack of content:
“To find is to lose…and to lose is to find…”

Vanitas GUIDED the characters in ways that others did not.
Vanitas attempted to SACR*FICE SELF to recreate the KEYblade.
Man, Vanitas is a HERO.
Sarah is such a great addition even if it’s just to get the rest of them to play FFXIV 😂
I discovered the X-Keepers after one of the later kh3 trailers. Never will I forget playing black flag and listening to you all theorizing. It's so sick having these back!
THERES NO WAY
Larxene is the best villain. She just knows how to push buttons too well, man. 22:32
I completely forgot this channel was a thing! Nice to see it back!
Jared is Goofy, Sarah is Selphie, Sky is Terra, and HMK is Mickey for the KH4 trailer
I can't believe I'm seeing a new X-Keepers vid in 2024.
I completely forgot this channel was a thing! Nice to see it back!
And about Roxas: I don't think there will be a major focus on him in kh4 but I don't think he'll just be chilling either. He must feel indebt to Sora so I doubt he'd sit idly whime this is going on.
Everyone will likely be involved to some extent because they wouldn't be here without Sora.
I hope things are well with Sorralam. And can’t wait to see more from you guys the closer KH4 is to releasing!
Wasn’t there another guy named volteditz or did I miss sumthing
Oh my god. I haven’t seen the x-keepers in years 😢
