Another Side, Another Story at the end of Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix was a huge inspiration for Square Enix to later make Advent Children, which itself has had a huge impact on how the future of Final Fantasy combat systems would be implemented
Oh! A new video! This is my second favorite Franchise after Final Fantasy! I really can't wait to see how this new channel and its videos are going to evolve! Keep up the fabulous work!
@@KingdomHeartsUnion Squeeee! Exiting! I wonder what precious nuggets you are going to find and share. I'm also looking forward to more origin stories. Love those !
This explains so much. I know it probably will never happen, but I'd love Final Fantasy based worlds/summons in Kingdom Hearts. Also, Lightning needs to make her way into the franchise too!
are we still talking about kingdom hearts?... Didn't you know final fantasy characters were only meant to boost the game popularity... look at how there is none of them in KH3 I don't think final fantasy is getting anymore light in this IP
@@neckela7097 I got really mad at this comment until realized that you’re right and genuinely hate that you’re right lmao. I was so upset that there was no FF characters in KH3 and I feel as tho it didn’t hit the true KH feeling for me. If that makes any sense
@@tumultuousv KH has always been a mix between Disney and Square. They're never getting rid of Disney. If you're gonna say that Kh4 is not going to have Disney, then I say this game is not meant for you.
Im a kingdom hearts and FF fanatic. FF summons i dont think would have worked in the game and these are some cool facts. The last fact was new but doesnt surprise me, but they are some of the best parts!!
Even if you already knew, it doesn't hurt to go over them again. Even in 2021 there are things people didn't know. I was hoping you would also mention when you mentioned Tifa that Vincent was also suppose to be in KH1, but they were scrapped for time so they merged his model with Cloud's. Also, I thought I remembered two bosses in KH1 being named by the community, I just can't remember the other besides Kurt. I could be wrong there though.
This cleared up questions I had. So Disney owns KH, not Square Enix. That kinda sucks, I feel like from both of these companies Disney would be more likely to stifle creativity and possiblities in matters relating to KH. No doubt they want Disney characters to have the best impression on people. So they'll really quality control the crap out of it, such that the corporations intellectual properties aren't vandalized. The lack of Disney villians in KH3-even tho we had Disney villians before- is a good indicator they are really flexing their muscle in that sense. Square Enix on the other hand, is a testament to video game creativity and production. I mean look at the brilliant idea they came up with in Sora. The main character could've been Mickey which Disney would've filtered the crap out of, or Donald. Now we say #Sora4Smash everyday 😂. Anyways my point is, Disney cares less about putting out a great story and more about protecting corporate interests. Square Enix doesn't shy away from giving a game what it deserves to be great. Square tries to do the best they can with what Disney let's them do. And if the game is disliked, Square Enix and Nomura is treated as the scapegoat. Sad!
It’s so very clear that Disney is in control when you look at 3, the complete removal of FF for the most part and how it has no non Disney words until the end of the game it’s frustrating to no end, 1 and 2 had such a harmonious and perfect balance between Disney and square but agh 3 was so promising but it feels like you’ve been trapped in Disneyland for a week without break from the incessant “happiest place on earth” vibes
I honestly loved the franchise so much as a kid. I played just about every installment in it and was obsessed with III. But when that was released, I was so beyond dissatisfied with it. It took me a long time to finish it.. it just didn't seem to have the same magic of adventure and meeting the Disney characters as the first 2 entries. 😔
Instead of building a good ending for KH3, Disney using it as a commercial way to introduce more theme park into the game. Ruining the main beautiful story, more of marketing in the purpose of selling their merch more.
I think I felt lost as they put in stuff from like, Re:Coded, which I didn't feel was that important of a game (and I sick of playing as KH1 Sora. I actually returned the game). And then the mobile game played a heavy role as well, and I felt that was just crossing the line. Mobile games have repeated charges, not everyone is going to want to play them or can afford to play them. To make the happenings of the phone game stand front and center after ages of console games, just didn't sit right for me. Plus, the ending indeed felt a bit meh. This was the first KH game I didn't cry at the ending, lol (I can be a sap, I always feel proud of the endings being a job well done but also sad to be saying "goodbye" until the next game. Don't ask, I'm a weirdo). Also, they didn't give very good songs to Utada. I like Face My Fears more than Don't Think Twice but neither is even close to being as good as Simple and Clean and Sanctuary, which just feel so right for KH.
I guess I had the opposite feeling from you then, because Kh3 is truly the best game ever made. It was a love letter for longtime fans such as myself. It brought the saga to a satisfying end. The combat though, it's amazing and it surpassed previous titles with Keyblade switching and its forms.
@@Redxan600 where the other half othe the characters that you know and love in kingdom hearts? You know... final fantasy. They've always been apart of kh. The game was not a love letter. It was Disney being Disney.
Absolute agree, KH2 solidified the series for me. The introduction of Roxas, the gameplay, the plot still being easy to follow along with, the destiny island trio reuniting, it was great all around.
"Executives at Square were keen to continue this positive association between Mickey and videogames." 20 years later, Mickey is probably one of the most hated characters inside Kingdom Hearts
Another development thing that got scrapped... Sora was originally going to use a chainsaw as a weapon. But given it didn't feel... "Disney"-ish... you can see why he has that memorable oversized key...
I believe that secret movie is the next game series we're about to see. Soras story was the ambiguous one on how we got there. I know we've seen this location, but I feel were going to see something very similar in the next few
I'm not too sure about whether the podcast will return as it did before, but we're definitely going to try and produce Kingdom Hearts content on RU-vid more regularly! ~Darryl
It’s crazy how many games there are. It’s also crazy I believe in rick and morty they walk through a gate with two key blades. I’m not wrong about the keyblade gate but I’m sure I may have the show off.
Josh is like an all RPGs nowadays it got enemy level scaling what is the point of having a level of is if the enemies is just going to keep scaling with you there's no point yes you want them to scale with you for a little while but eventually you want to become powerful that's what leveling up is you want to become stronger at a certain point
You guys are usually really good at finding interesting and seldom known facts, but this wasn't one of those times. Not only were these all widely known for years at this point, but these are such entry level trivia facts that I can probably find multiple videos that not only have the exact same facts, but also in the exact same order if I just searched "KH1 Facts"
so let me get this straight... they didnt wanted Mickey to be the Main Character of KH because it would devalue theire Mascot if KH turns out to be a failure? DID THEY HONESTLY NEVER CHECKED THE TONS OF SHITTY GAMES STARRING MICKEY MOUSE BEFORE KH?????
I don't have the patience to play the rest of the series thinking about it I'm still angry that the grinding was so long to get the Ultimate Sword only to find out that there wasn't a new game plus I stopped playing how can you not have a new game plus when a sword takes that long to grind makes no sense a good game but it's ruined by not having a New Game Plus f****** piss me off man all that grinding for no reason at all
Tf are you on about? The ultima blade is for beating the super bosses. And it's just a keyblade. Not that important. It's mostly for completionist. New game plus is always a bad design anyways. Having the strongest weapon at the start of the game? Wtf is the point of even playing then? No challenge? Stfu
i think it should be kingdom hearts since its all heart connected imagine the kingdom heart was kingdom and 13 were like conquer and sora as king it would've been the ff15 spin off
I had a PlayStation 2 but I never played Kingdom Hearts I play Kingdom Hearts for the first time on my Xbox One I liked it it it was a good game I had one problem I grind for the Ultimate Sword but there was no New Game Plus it really pissed me off I don't even want to grind on the other games anymore at least they could have added a new game plus on the newer copies grinding for that sword was not fun and it was not enjoyable only to find out there was not a new game plus
I heard the one before the newest one has a new game plus I think it's Kingdom Hearts 3 but I have to play through all of them without having New Game Plus just to play three I'm good I'm sexually grinding for no reason at all
@@tumultuousv so you're telling me that I don't make no sense where there's no New Game Plus you could grind for days trying to get the ultimate weapons and do all side content but those weapons can't get carried over because there's no f****** New Game Plus
@@tumultuousv you're telling me that's reasonable to grind for $100 level up grind for the Ultimate Sword ultimate wand ultimate Shield and then there's no new game plus to carry that stuff over it took me literally weak to grind that non-stop all of that stuff because I thought that there was a f****** New Game Plus
@@tumultuousv you know what I will take that not making sense thank you I definitely will take that because it was frustrating grinding for ultimate weapons
