I lost it when the kh2 secret ending didnt win the poll, like the final mix one is perhaps the best thing ive ever seen? Its so well choreographed, its literally not a contest for me
I think it is and always will be the biggest disrespect that Sora, Donald and Goofy are not counted as a trio in these things. They are without a doubt the best trio and it shows at the end of KH 3. They have such a great dynamic and really play of each other in every scene. Put some respect on those three.
Kh3 ultimate weapon was probably the most fun to unlock. Because instead of grinding out synthesis materials you had to go do stuff like kill super secret gummi ship bosses, explore all the worlds for the mickey emblems, and do well in mini games. Completely worth it.
@@kylespevak6781imo 3D's approach is the worst, because by the time you get the ultima weapon, there's nothing to use it on. it becomes a glorified trophy.
I feel bad for Ventus because I like him and Xion more than Roxas for basically the same reason. They are all tragic but those two take the misfortune they have and try to create better situations for their friends at their own expense. To me that’s just more heartbreaking and has a selflessness about it. 😭
Aqua isn't just hot, she also has the best abilities in BBS. Her barrier blocks attacks in all directions and can only be bypassed by some boss attacks. Her unique shotlocks are better. Her dependence on magic makes it easy to just wipe unversed out with little effort and cheese bosses. She has the best Command Styles. And she has the better unique attack and magic commands. She's all around one of the better characters to play as.
Literally this plus the extension of what she goes through with her story. She basically has to yank the two of them away from darkness constantly, sacrifices herself, goes through a massive depressive period, gets corrupted and shows a very relatable battle of inner strength in multiple scenarios. That and I don't know... a badass female who kicks ass? Landslide win.
Kh 358/2 days dearly beloved is my favourite because hearing it, you know something tragic is going to happen. It could be at the beginning or halfway or at the end and when it happened it was truly tragic
heres my opnion about the best one of wayfinder trio, aqua because she has a interesting story, and in the keyblade war, aqua is the only one that leaves alive, goes to find terra, falls in the realm of darkness. its impressive how she could defeat all those heartless alone. and in kh 0.2 she could use powerful spells, like firaja, blizzaja, etc.
2 things 1){REDACTED}/ Luxu is my favorite character. It's always a pleasure analyzing his earlier dialog and seeing that it pertains to the KhuX days. 2)KH4 Sora outfit out drips all of previous Soras designs.
@@shadowking2926 yes it is, it’s through a different timeline, it even talks about it in the game, a different destiny, a different path, calling back to advent children and the og ff7 several times. If you think the story isn’t going to change or whatever, this isn’t your old ff7 all over again. The ending explained that.
I like aqua best from the bbs characters because she’s determined and because she’s pretty smart in comparison to the other two. Just cuz she’s hot, she’s also a good character.
Imagine in kh4, much like how verum Rex was a video game in the kh universe, kingdom hearts is a video game in Quadratum and you can play remade segments of some of the games, specifically chain of memories
KH1 Sora outfit is my favorite since it's design was based on Mickey Mouse and fits alongside with Goofy and Donald. I feel like every other game lost touch with that idea. I honestly would prefer Limit form outfit in KH2 over his base outfit in 2. Its an upgraded version of 1's design but still keeps that Mickey Mouse idea.
Bro, when he was talking about the larxene boss fight on re:CoM, I knew what he was talking about, especially since my first play through was on proud, but I did good by having fire and blizzard raids as my main attacks to cheap my way through it (as of right now, I’ve only played up to re:CoM and going to start KH2 but so far love the series and kinda sad I missed out on it when I was younger.)
Just to clarify: That Aqua bit was supposed to be more of a joke (even tho I still believe that’s some of it lol) that I took a little seriously. Like I said, I don’t think KH has a horrible character and Aqua is good character. I like her arc (somewhat, Terra is still my favorite arc) and she’s got some good powers. Maybe it’s just my overall indifference to the whole Trio idk. Don’t mean to put down other female characters at all either. Guess it didn’t come across in the final edit, and that’s on me. Oh well, we live, we learn 🤷
Well, hey, hating aqua won't get you threats from the kh fanbase. Say you think kh3 is better than 2, and even everyone in your fanbase will harass you.
KH2 had the perfect ending, in that it actually felt like an ending rather than a continuation. Sure, there was Mickey's letter at the end, but otherwise every character received closure and the worlds were saved. It's where I finish now on replays of the series because it's where (given what has come after) the series should have ended
Kingdom Hearts 2 is the series peak, in my opinion. Story, mechanics, atmosphere, music, cutscenes, everything. 358/2 is a close second for me. Mostly because of the story, but close second. It felt like it was maturing with the audience and the darker tone was appreciated greatly. Most of the other side games muddled the story way too much. Ive always said they should have just been their own IPs because stuff like Unchained doesn't even register in my brain as a Kingdom Hearts game because it's so disconnected from everything the first two entries handled. Then KH3 just dropped the ball by utterly failing to give any of the trios' stories a true, meaningful, cathartic ending. Especially after 13 odd years of waiting. I'm at the point where I've lost interest in KH4 because it seems so far separated from where the series started that I don't even know who the characters are anymore. I've also thought that the series should have more or less ended with Kingdom Hearts 2, considering how the rest of it turned out. 358/2 can stay because the story was really good but the rest of the series could poof out of existence and I wouldn't be bothered. 0.2 was decent but I can't shake the thought that the Wayfinder trio were supposed to be like off-brand protagonists for a little prequel spinoff but they forced them to be more important than anyone really wanted them to be. Like they tried too hard to bring the Wayfinder trio into the main story and I think that's where things started getting messed up story-wise. Kingdom Hearts is still my favorite series, but i only say that when looking at the earlier games. I played the later ones because they were "Kingdom Hearts" and i was too young to care, got older and realized how the story slowly degraded into nonsense. In any case, great video, cool to see where some of the fanbase's heads are at.
Ah yes. Kh3 ruined the series. Go on, go do what bloodybizkiz wants, go get kh3 fans. The rest of the kh2fm fans have been doing it since kh3 came out.
honestly not getting the ultima weapon is valid. I understand it after getting the ultima weapon 3 times in kh3 (once on Xbox twice on pc because I lost my save file in case you're wondering)
Personally speaking, KH3 worlds feel the most empty overall despite how big they are. Yeah it is more seamless but doesn’t really feel like I’m exploring much. Other KH games give me more of feeling that I’m going around the entire world.
Out of every Dearly Beloved in the series my favorite is one that wasn't on the list: KH Unchained X(what KHUx was before it was Union Cross). There's always been something about it that stuck with me, and I think the most likely thing is that it's a lot more upbeat and cheerful, yet you can still hear the sadness behind it and know that things aren't gonna stay as upbeat as the song leads you to think.
I'm sorry, but Aqua doesn't have a story in BBS until the end of the game. Ventus has the best and most character development out of the wayfinder trio by far.
Saying KH3 has the best world DESIGN just feels wrong. Sure they're the most visually impressive, but Toy Box and Arendelle physically hurt to play, which isn't something I can say about worlds in 1 and 2 at any point. Even the Atlanticas and Pride Rock respect my time by being short
I honestly agree the same way it's a great game but it really is overrated. That's also coming from the same person that had KH2 as their first KH game to play.
Joke woke up and I’m watching this, yea I’m connected since a child like you said , recently came to a point of thankfulness with Jesus that I even got to play kingdom Hearts as a kid, truly such an amazing experience I MEAN CMON!! meeting Auron in the underworld after recently playing ffX during kingdom hearts 2 as a kid is just like the most amazing crossover a gamer could enjoy!!!! (As an adult the best crossover is the sephiroth fights wow!!!)
Only just found out about this channel from this video turning up in my recommended, so safe to say I kinda missed out on when the polls were a thing, but I did kinda do my own, private votes as I watched, but I feel inclined to provide a full take for 6:23 First things first, to be fair to most of the other games in the series, KH2 and KH3 have been the only ones I've given a proper, full playthrough of [I played the tiniest shred of CoM on an emulator on an old phone, and the demo of DDD on 3DS, but that's about it for other games thus far...one day, though] _However,_ strictly choosing between KH2 and KH3 though, I still give the worlds to KH2 by a country mile Yes, KH2 is Hallway Simulator, while KH3 gives you like 6 proper, wide open worlds [would like to remind everyone, however, that Twilight Town got shrunk, Keyblade Graveyard pulled a KH2 itself, and San Fransokyo is basically just *one room]* and some level of shmovement to explore them But I'm factoring *everything* about a world when thinking about this, the overall aesthetic/basis of the world, the music, the characters [namely the allies], any unique Heartless, bosses, story, etc. And putting that all together, KH3 fell incredibly short, and that's without mentioning how it felt like none of the worlds could go for very long without severely annoying me when I did my playthrough Not going to go on any dedicated, extreme wall about it--at least unprompted, I just think it's important to go beyond the [admittedly deserved] ribbing of "haha hallway sim" when actually comparing KH2's worlds to those in other games, because for the most part, what they lacked in the substance of being a physical space, they usually more than made up in many other parts
KH1 through Riku point of view would be like what? He had stalked Sora or had sat besides Maleficent throughout most of the story. KH2, on the other hand, would be a lot more interesting.
In terms of console ports/remakes, I think Days is probably the one of the three portable/mobile entries without a console game release that's best served as a game vs a movie/cutscene compilation, simply because the gameplay loop services the story - Some people take issue with the somewhat repetitive nature of the gameplay, which is fair enough in that it's not for everyone, but I would argue that that's sort of the point? The mission structure can feel a bit monotonous to some players, sure, but I'd argue the actual gameplay/controls themselves are solid, especially for the first DS game in the series, and that monotony is key to the contrast and development of the Sea Salt Trio's story and relationships. Even putting aside small character moments not just from them but also the rest of the Organization that are lost when the game is cutscene comped ("Roxas, that's a stick." I'll still never forgive them for taking our "Roxas, that's a stick" from us), it very much gives the vibes of a boring minimum wage job where you're just waiting for your shift to end so you can go hang out with your friends. The passage of time is more tangible as you effectively clock in and out of work every day, and it better puts you in Roxas's shoes of wanting to go to see your friends, and makes it hit harder when things start properly falling apart - Like, of course he bailed and tried to stop Xemnas himself in the end after the way the guy's whole plot destroyed the one thing Roxas really had to hold onto outside of his shifts at this he didn't really have any investment in outside of those friend/coworkers he lost. If my boss pulled that shit I'd be in prison.
Kingdom hearts 2 has the best worlds Then maybe dream drop distance and birth by sleep I hate kingdom hearts 3 worlds. They pretty much all suck except for Hercules and Pirates. Toy box you explore Andy’s bedroom and then his front yard then spend 80% of your time playing overwatch in a random toy store and sadly I think that’s one of the better worlds!! Frozen is just a generic Snowmountain and easy to get lost and Tangled is just forest and coves If you remove the story cut scenes and the character in your party these worlds would not even make me think of their movies
I’m a big KH3 lover (i even streamed me beating level 1 crit) but with “best worlds” i chose KH2 due to being able to go back and do more in them. It just felt nice from a gameplay perspective. Being given a reason to go back to the worlds. However yes, KH3 world design is great (aside from San Fransokyo).
For me the best worlds out of the games I know were in KH1 for the simple reason that your presence there actually matters. In KH1 Team Sora and the Heartless left a trail of narrative (and occasionally literal) devastation in their wake, derailing the stories of the worlds partway through or foiling the conditions needed for them to start in the first place. But in 2 and what I've seen of 3 it's mostly just retreads of the world's relevant movie with a bit of fluff and a few enemies to give you something to do while the movie plays itself out around you.
I really like the KH Re:Coded Dearly Beloved, especially that intro bit... Yes Re:Coded was my first KH game, and it shows. Please try it for it's combat it's amazing when it's the standard combat ALSO PLEASE PLAYABLE RECODED ITS LITERALLY GOT NO STORY
Re:Chain of Memories works better when you mash triangle lol. The only boss I had a problem with was Vexen and that's just because he had a guard. Also Marluxia's final form was hard at first until I found out you mash x and triangle at different times and it's just as easy as every other boss fight lol. Second phase marluxia, mashing x works best for sure
Plus it would look ugly Af with that gross Disney filter from kh3. Bbs is the only one that should get a remake because at least if they made it with Kh3 combat it would be way more fun to play.
I CAN SEE THE NOSTALGIA FLOWING INTO EVERYONES BLOOD! But in all seriousness, as someone who didn't grow up with kingdom hearts, and played all of the games basically back to back around 3 years ago (except days, still haven't played), It's really hard to understand some of the votes on kh 2. Don't get me wrong, I love all of the games, and 2 is one of the best no doubt (it's the best combat of the series imo), but there's so much that I really can't wrap my head around on why people voted for, the world design for example, and even when it did not won, it got so many votes on things I really don't agree. I just wanted to share my opinion as someone who joined the community recently, as I think the other games should be more appreciated, and less compared to 2.
I think on the best worlds mainline game, KH3 was really gutted with some of the worlds. The overall short length of the playtime didn't help either, since three seems to just be a slapdash ending to fire up KH 4, which I assume will be longer than KH2. I think the best worlds to explore were Big Hero 6 and Toy Story, but yeah, just my take on it. I assume Shibuya is gonna be everyone's favorite world when we get to play it.
That plus going back to the same world really helped people like the exploration. Also, Underworld in Olympus was really cool. That one really cracked open a short world, but 3 did too. We just didn't really get to go back to any of the worlds, not even for post game enemies. A shame we didn't get to go back to UW in 3.
KH3 worlds fall off because of what franchises they're from. Plus, a lot of them are big but with barely anything to do. The sole exception is the Pirates world (which is absolutely better than the KH2 Pirates world), but that's one world. The rest drag it down unfortunately. And I will die on this hill: Riku is the best! He grows, he gets stronger (both with his powers and as a person), and I find his journey just really great. That's it. That's the comment. :)
He described why Ventus and Terra sucked 😂 that’s why ppl chose Aqua. I have no attraction to fictional characters I would choose Aqua out of all of them cuz while she’s overprotective and a bit… overpoetic if that makes sense? Like she seems like a Shakespeare character 😂. But I’d rather that than the other 2
I'm legit surprised KH2 Riku and Kairi didn't win a landslide given the KH2 bias. I mean, KH2 Kairi is my favorite but I won't argue with KH3 Kairi getting the most votes. And yeah, KH1 getting a remake would be even more pointless than RE4 getting a remake and is probably gonna get a lot of "soul vs. soulless" comparisons.
Hot take: Kh1 should never get a remake they havent yet and they shouldnt if you oh but what about the final mixes thats just a report not a remake but if they made a remake of kh1 it would just be for money and i dont think it would be as good as the kh1 we have now hot take 2: sora should never be a keyblade master hes not responsible with his powers and honestley it would be more interisting if sora never becomes a keyblade master and i dont think they should ever make sora a keyblade master unless they end soras story because its more of a goal for sora that should be at the end Hot take 3: the card system is good Hot take 4: They should not make a cartoon of kingdom hearts but they should make a kingdom hearts anime
About the Worlds in KH2 and KH3, I think there's two ways to look at. KH3 has the best world design overall, but they are used very poorl, story-wise. Also, many fans are still hurt about the way they cut 80% of Twilight Town.
People don’t just vote for aqua because she’s hot. Unlike the guys she doesn’t blunder through the worlds like an idiot and actually uses her head. Ventus’s story is pretty bland and he’s just blindly chasing down terra without much thought of the consequences. Terra get manipulated left and right and makes one bad decision after another. Aqua actually resolves most of the issues she comes across and she thinks about her actions.
Idk,imo i wouldnt want to see any MCU/SW in Kingdom Hearts because of how powerful the characters in KH are to begin with.Unless they somehow lose their Keyblade/severely regress in power level then they would probably just one shot the villains from the respective films unless they do something like the Monster Inc world.
whoever says kh2 has the best worlds is capping fr. don't get me wrong i love kh2 as much as the next guy but it's world design is very... not good, and most of the disney world's stories have absoloutely nothing to do with the wider plot (exceptoisn being tron, which is still the best example of good disney world intergration, and beasts castle). personally i think kh1 has the best disney worlds. i think it has the best world design and has consistently decent disney world intergration
I've gotten every ultima weapon in the numbered kingdom hearts 2 or 3 times, each. 1 for the original releases of kh1 and 2 1 on the ps3 releases of them 1 more on the ps4 release And 2 on kh3, before and after the ps4 bricked itself and lost all my data
why would you remake the absoluty perfect game. kh1 in 1.5+2.5 is the perfect and best kh game it looks almost perfect and feels perfect best game in the franchise if they made it look gross on unreal it would be a travisty. kh1 is a perfect game
There’s some clear biased people voting.. KH2 and BBS won way too many just because they’re the most popular. Unpopular opinion here but BBS is kind of a garbage game.
Aqua is honestly my most disliked character in Kingdom hearts and thats purely because of how she treats terra in birth by sleep. Treating him like an evil guy because of one sentence maleficent said. "Ive been to other worlds and ive seen the things you done" Oh you mean like when he saved cinderellas life and told her to follow her dreams? He barely talked to snow white and he was literally body controlled to take auroras heart
I lost it when the kh2 secret ending didnt win the poll, like the final mix one is perhaps the best thing ive ever seen? Its so well choreographed, its literally not a contest for me
I nearly broke my phone case from throwing it at the wall so hard when I voted for that and KH1 won
This is a crime
I think it is and always will be the biggest disrespect that Sora, Donald and Goofy are not counted as a trio in these things. They are without a doubt the best trio and it shows at the end of KH 3.
They have such a great dynamic and really play of each other in every scene.
Put some respect on those three.
TRUE. I didn't even think of that and I'm ashamed
Kh3 ultimate weapon was probably the most fun to unlock. Because instead of grinding out synthesis materials you had to go do stuff like kill super secret gummi ship bosses, explore all the worlds for the mickey emblems, and do well in mini games. Completely worth it.
I hate all of those things. 3D did it best; beat the secret boss

To the person who said they want Kairi’s personality back, BIG AGREE. She had so much spark and spunk in KH1. Then she got blander with each entry.
Yeah, and she was also unconscious for two thirds of that game lol
@@theelusivepootisberd7471 Yes, but for the time she was conscious she had a great personality.
Yeah, where’s the girl that called Sora a lazy bum? I’m still waiting for that girl to come back.

Maybe Aqua is a well written character. :)
Personally speaking, KH3 worlds feel the most empty overall despite how big they are. Yeah it is more seamless but doesn’t really feel like I’m exploring much. Other KH games give me more of feeling that I’m going around the entire world.
The part of KH1 that aged best is it being a Souls-like
Out of every Dearly Beloved in the series my favorite is one that wasn't on the list: KH Unchained X(what KHUx was before it was Union Cross).

Yes, KH2 is Hallway Simulator, while KH3 gives you like 6 proper, wide open worlds [would like to remind everyone, however, that Twilight Town got shrunk, Keyblade Graveyard pulled a KH2 itself, and San Fransokyo is basically just *one room]* and some level of shmovement to explore them
But I'm factoring *everything* about a world when thinking about this, the overall aesthetic/basis of the world, the music, the characters [namely the allies], any unique Heartless, bosses, story, etc.
And putting that all together, KH3 fell incredibly short, and that's without mentioning how it felt like none of the worlds could go for very long without severely annoying me when I did my playthrough
Not going to go on any dedicated, extreme wall about it--at least unprompted, I just think it's important to go beyond the [admittedly deserved] ribbing of "haha hallway sim" when actually comparing KH2's worlds to those in other games, because for the most part, what they lacked in the substance of being a physical space, they usually more than made up in many other parts
KH1 through Riku point of view would be like what? He had stalked Sora or had sat besides Maleficent throughout most of the story. KH2, on the other hand, would be a lot more interesting.
In terms of console ports/remakes, I think Days is probably the one of the three portable/mobile entries without a console game release that's best served as a game vs a movie/cutscene compilation, simply because the gameplay loop services the story - Some people take issue with the somewhat repetitive nature of the gameplay, which is fair enough in that it's not for everyone, but I would argue that that's sort of the point? The mission structure can feel a bit monotonous to some players, sure, but I'd argue the actual gameplay/controls themselves are solid, especially for the first DS game in the series, and that monotony is key to the contrast and development of the Sea Salt Trio's story and relationships. Even putting aside small character moments not just from them but also the rest of the Organization that are lost when the game is cutscene comped ("Roxas, that's a stick." I'll still never forgive them for taking our "Roxas, that's a stick" from us), it very much gives the vibes of a boring minimum wage job where you're just waiting for your shift to end so you can go hang out with your friends. The passage of time is more tangible as you effectively clock in and out of work every day, and it better puts you in Roxas's shoes of wanting to go to see your friends, and makes it hit harder when things start properly falling apart - Like, of course he bailed and tried to stop Xemnas himself in the end after the way the guy's whole plot destroyed the one thing Roxas really had to hold onto outside of his shifts at this he didn't really have any investment in outside of those friend/coworkers he lost. If my boss pulled that shit I'd be in prison.
Kingdom hearts 2 has the best worlds Then maybe dream drop distance and birth by sleep
I hate kingdom hearts 3 worlds. They pretty much all suck except for Hercules and Pirates. Toy box you explore Andy’s bedroom and then his front yard then spend 80% of your time playing overwatch in a random toy store and sadly I think that’s one of the better worlds!! Frozen is just a generic Snowmountain and easy to get lost and Tangled is just forest and coves If you remove the story cut scenes and the character in your party these worlds would not even make me think of their movies
I think a kh1 remake would work, I guess people forget that they would be able to kinda fix up the game in the areas that it needs
Totaly agree baout why aqua is a fan fav 😂
Kh2 is literally the same as 1 with a wave in the back... Personally my faves
1st: DDD
2nd: 3
3rd: bbs
I’m a big KH3 lover (i even streamed me beating level 1 crit) but with “best worlds” i chose KH2 due to being able to go back and do more in them. It just felt nice from a gameplay perspective. Being given a reason to go back to the worlds. However yes, KH3 world design is great (aside from San Fransokyo).
For me the best worlds out of the games I know were in KH1 for the simple reason that your presence there actually matters.
In KH1 Team Sora and the Heartless left a trail of narrative (and occasionally literal) devastation in their wake, derailing the stories of the worlds partway through or foiling the conditions needed for them to start in the first place. But in 2 and what I've seen of 3 it's mostly just retreads of the world's relevant movie with a bit of fluff and a few enemies to give you something to do while the movie plays itself out around you.
I really like the KH Re:Coded Dearly Beloved, especially that intro bit...
Yes Re:Coded was my first KH game, and it shows. Please try it for it's combat it's amazing when it's the standard combat
ALSO PLEASE PLAYABLE RECODED ITS LITERALLY GOT NO STORY
Re:Chain of Memories works better when you mash triangle lol. The only boss I had a problem with was Vexen and that's just because he had a guard. Also Marluxia's final form was hard at first until I found out you mash x and triangle at different times and it's just as easy as every other boss fight lol. Second phase marluxia, mashing x works best for sure
Why isn't days a numbered title since it is the one with most numbers in it?
I prefer Riku's Old keyblade instead of his new one!
Kh1 dont need a remake its great the way it is
Plus it would look ugly Af with that gross Disney filter from kh3. Bbs is the only one that should get a remake because at least if they made it with Kh3 combat it would be way more fun to play.
Sora Designs I love the most from best to last
KH 2 Sora
KHDDD Sora
KH 1 Sora
KH 3 Sora
Any grown man who says
Roxas is their favorite character needs a therapist
If you think Jesse McCartney's voice is too deep for Ventus, wait until you hear their Japanese voice actors--
I'm not sure you know what you said
Because I'm pretty sure that while FF7 Remake was framed as a remake, it's most certainly *not*
I CAN SEE THE NOSTALGIA FLOWING INTO EVERYONES BLOOD!
But in all seriousness, as someone who didn't grow up with kingdom hearts, and played all of the games basically back to back around 3 years ago (except days, still haven't played), It's really hard to understand some of the votes on kh 2. Don't get me wrong, I love all of the games, and 2 is one of the best no doubt (it's the best combat of the series imo), but there's so much that I really can't wrap my head around on why people voted for, the world design for example, and even when it did not won, it got so many votes on things I really don't agree.
I just wanted to share my opinion as someone who joined the community recently, as I think the other games should be more appreciated, and less compared to 2.
I think on the best worlds mainline game, KH3 was really gutted with some of the worlds. The overall short length of the playtime didn't help either, since three seems to just be a slapdash ending to fire up KH 4, which I assume will be longer than KH2. I think the best worlds to explore were Big Hero 6 and Toy Story, but yeah, just my take on it. I assume Shibuya is gonna be everyone's favorite world when we get to play it.
That plus going back to the same world really helped people like the exploration. Also, Underworld in Olympus was really cool. That one really cracked open a short world, but 3 did too. We just didn't really get to go back to any of the worlds, not even for post game enemies. A shame we didn't get to go back to UW in 3.
KH3 worlds fall off because of what franchises they're from. Plus, a lot of them are big but with barely anything to do. The sole exception is the Pirates world (which is absolutely better than the KH2 Pirates world), but that's one world. The rest drag it down unfortunately.
And I will die on this hill: Riku is the best! He grows, he gets stronger (both with his powers and as a person), and I find his journey just really great.
That's it. That's the comment. :)
He described why Ventus and Terra sucked 😂 that’s why ppl chose Aqua. I have no attraction to fictional characters I would choose Aqua out of all of them cuz while she’s overprotective and a bit… overpoetic if that makes sense? Like she seems like a Shakespeare character 😂. But I’d rather that than the other 2
I'm legit surprised KH2 Riku and Kairi didn't win a landslide given the KH2 bias.
I mean, KH2 Kairi is my favorite but I won't argue with KH3 Kairi getting the most votes.
And yeah, KH1 getting a remake would be even more pointless than RE4 getting a remake and is probably gonna get a lot of "soul vs. soulless" comparisons.
Something's telling me this guy hasn't played aquas story to the end.
Okay so im not the only one who thinks Coded should have a console port too
22:05 Days should get a remake. The union/mobile games could get a port.
Kh1 intro is perfect nothing tops it.
Kingdom Hearts Days should get a Remake!
Hot take:
Kh1 should never get a remake they havent yet and they shouldnt if you oh but what about the final mixes thats just a report not a remake but if they made a remake of kh1 it would just be for money and i dont think it would be as good as the kh1 we have now
hot take 2:
sora should never be a keyblade master hes not responsible with his powers and honestley it would be more interisting if sora never becomes a keyblade master and i dont think they should ever make sora a keyblade master unless they end soras story because its more of a goal for sora that should be at the end
Hot take 3:
the card system is good
Hot take 4:
They should not make a cartoon of kingdom hearts but they should make a kingdom hearts anime
The seasalt trio is the best trio and it isnt even close.
I fucking swear this series better come to Steam eventually.
Sora should have stayed a heartless in kh1
Never forget, this fandom has been fine with harassment on kh3 fans. Majority of RUclipsrs were fine with it too.
Kh hd dream drop distance was a Great game
@7:11 KH3 has better level design, but KH2 has a better world selection.
About the Worlds in KH2 and KH3, I think there's two ways to look at. KH3 has the best world design overall, but they are used very poorl, story-wise. Also, many fans are still hurt about the way they cut 80% of Twilight Town.
Melody of memories i never played so i couldnt say anything on it.
People don’t just vote for aqua because she’s hot. Unlike the guys she doesn’t blunder through the worlds like an idiot and actually uses her head. Ventus’s story is pretty bland and he’s just blindly chasing down terra without much thought of the consequences. Terra get manipulated left and right and makes one bad decision after another. Aqua actually resolves most of the issues she comes across and she thinks about her actions.
Idk,imo i wouldnt want to see any MCU/SW in Kingdom Hearts because of how powerful the characters in KH are to begin with.Unless they somehow lose their Keyblade/severely regress in power level then they would probably just one shot the villains from the respective films unless they do something like the Monster Inc world.
To get Ultima weapon in KH2 is kinda easy
I want a Marvel world and a Star Wars world!
whoever says kh2 has the best worlds is capping fr. don't get me wrong i love kh2 as much as the next guy but it's world design is very... not good, and most of the disney world's stories have absoloutely nothing to do with the wider plot (exceptoisn being tron, which is still the best example of good disney world intergration, and beasts castle). personally i think kh1 has the best disney worlds. i think it has the best world design and has consistently decent disney world intergration
I’m ngl I have to say as someone who beat the secret bosses in kh1: don’t, it will hurt you
I prefer Riku to have long hair instead of short hair.
I think your community is a little bit roxas biased. Because i find it really odd that axel is Beneath roxas by a lot. (I do love both btw)
Technically my 3 already has marvel characters because big hero 6
I’m well aware I’m a shill but KH 2 one of the best action-rpgs ever made
Lol is it bad that my favorite secret boss is Julius?
I've gotten every ultima weapon in the numbered kingdom hearts 2 or 3 times, each.
1 for the original releases of kh1 and 2
1 on the ps3 releases of them
1 more on the ps4 release
And 2 on kh3, before and after the ps4 bricked itself and lost all my data
Chain of memories with the card system was fun but i prever mashing x but the kh3 gameplay and story where just lacking
I hate The Card System I prefer The Command system from Birth by sleep and dream drop distance!
Why is recoed not in the polls 😢
why would you remake the absoluty perfect game. kh1 in 1.5+2.5 is the perfect and best kh game it looks almost perfect and feels perfect best game in the franchise if they made it look gross on unreal it would be a travisty. kh1 is a perfect game
I prefer dream drop distance to
There’s some clear biased people voting.. KH2 and BBS won way too many just because they’re the most popular. Unpopular opinion here but BBS is kind of a garbage game.
i read "best worlds" as best themes/movies not best designed lol
Roxas is the GOAT
I want Union cross back
Aqua is honestly my most disliked character in Kingdom hearts and thats purely because of how she treats terra in birth by sleep. Treating him like an evil guy because of one sentence maleficent said. "Ive been to other worlds and ive seen the things you done"
Oh you mean like when he saved cinderellas life and told her to follow her dreams? He barely talked to snow white and he was literally body controlled to take auroras heart
that right kh2 is a best opening the song make me feel like i'm in side my dream at 2012
I want Kingdom Hearts Anime!
KH Chain of Memories' Card System: Awesome
Kh ReChain of Memories' Card System: Awful.
