How Disney Worlds Contribute to the Kingdom Hearts Story (or don’t) 

To Xaldin's credit, Beast has quite a powerful heart. He literally willed himself into Hollow Bastion just out of love for Belle. Beast's example even inspired Sora to keep going. That would be a very powerful Heartless and Nobody. Don't get me wrong, I agree on the point about tunnel vision, but it's not like it's a terrible plan.

Xaldin getting elbowed by belle who then Steals the rose from him and fuckin runs is the greatest thing a Disney world did in kh2

I think an important thing in disney worlds is the main characters developing, not just plot itself. The early original worlds are where characters are established, the middle event and end showcases how much they've grown, and all the disney stuff should be leading to that. "My friends are my power" doesn't mean anything if you didn't see and play Sora, Donald, and Goofy growing as friends with their bond becoming stronger throughout the game.

*Vexen, looking down on the Pirates crew from above:* Oh. Oh god, that's like a literal, beating heart. Gross, ew, no! I thought you were using the cosmic by-word for soul, but you- Uggghh, I'm going home!

Fun Fact: Riku can kill you for whatever reason in Land of Dragons. There are many other fights in the game that you allow you to die and still progress but apparently Riku is an active threat to Sora in that little instance.

Ooh, Deep Jungle has one other aspect that you didn't mention here that I always thought was so cool, and that's how the Heartless aren't there when you first arrive. Rather, you watch Clayton's progression towards evil in his interactions with the gorillas, creating a darkness that eventually lures the Heartless to that world. It's a really cool look at how the Heartless moved about in the context of the first game and how they initially entered new worlds. There's even that scene after where the other Disney villains discuss what happened in the jungle.

I'm only 21 minutes in, but I just want to say I appreciate how high you put Kh1 atlantica. A lot of people think it doesn't matter because "you can just skip it and complete the game", but I always thought that scene with king triton destroying the crystal was sooooo important.

Out of all the worlds in KH2, I think Port Royal had the most untapped potential for this category. The cursed pirates are the perfect parallel to Organization 13 as a whole, a group of people who just want to feel again and will do anything to get that, no matter the cost. I think all this world needed was for Luxord to make that connection himself and have his goal be related to it somehow.

“We are going to be talking about one of the biggest Kingdom Hearts f-words” Me: Finny Fun?

I definitely feel like kingdom hearts wouldn’t be the same without the Disney worlds you visit while going about sora’s journey. There is just something amazing when you see all the iconic Disney characters and locations that you grew up with within the game. Also hands down monstopolis was the best world in kh3, I loved it (with the pirates world as my second fave due to its very open and exploratory nature). Also thank you so much for putting my platinum presto sculpture in at the end!!!

I still find it amazing how Pixar themselves directly helped with the development team to create the worlds for Toy Story and Monsters Inc and it really shows. Like they're not just retellings but actual expansions of the original source material and I wish we could have gotten more worlds in that same vein.

I think Olympus from KH1 is fondly remembered because it fits well as a "breather" and not a filler world. You can take on it at your own pace and the visits are usually short and sweet, with the developments for Sora's character feeling earned

Something else I noticed about Corona. I got a bit of a feeling of nostalgia from it due to its theme of 'exploration'. Sora is literally sharing all the wonders of the world with Rapunzel, like he once enjoyed after leaving Traverse Town and started exploring otherworlds. Nothing explicit in the text but I felt it was trying to recapture that feeling by have Sora pass it on to someone else. Kinda like KH1 Ariel was a mirror for Riku, I feel Rapunzel was a mirror to how Sora used to be. Or I might be reading to much into it lol!

I always thought Beasts inclusion in KH1 was unique among the Disney cast because he's the only one to appear in a world that wasn't his own movie world (excluding the Disney Castle characters like Donald and Goofy obviously). Seeing Beast actually involved with a fight against Maleficent, a villain from a completely different movie, was incredibly cool to see. I really wished they did more world mashing up in later games. Like imagine travelling to worlds and finding them mashing together in pairs before eventually the final world has every single world exclusive party member suddenly available for the final battle to help out. Especially when KH3 actually had the characters talk to one another often when just travelling the world. How cool would it be to see some of the Disney characters from other worlds meeting each other? Like Jack Skelington admiring Sully's scary monstrous appearance because to him scary is actually exciting and fun. Or imagine Peter Pan making a passing comment about not trusting Jack Sparrow for being a pirate because of Hook like Sparrow: You seem a little on edge. Never fought alongside a man of the sea before? Pan: I'll help out if your a friend of Sora's but I still don't trust a codfish pirate like you. Sparrow: I wise decision lad...

I have always adored the way Tron was used in KH2 and felt that it went unappreciated, so I’m quite happy that you recognize it as the Master Class example of story integration.

obsessed with how the music matches the point you're talking about like 90% of the time god

"My soul is already far beyond saving" Me too, Pat. Me too. I'm in so deep that everything they'll throw at me, I'll end up playing.

This man really just said "Kingdom of COVID". 😂😂

Pat, I think the reason Xaldin was so gung ho about the Beast losing his heart was less for the Heartless and moreso for the Nobody The Beast would create. Remember, that people with iron clad wills who lose their hearts are strong enough to retain their body and memories from their past life. Essentially, just the ORG XIII members. Well...nobody has a tougher will than the Beast. He survived the destruction of his own world and traveled through Gummi Space (without ship) and arrived in Hollow Bastion to save Belle. All through sheer force of will. Someone with a will that strong would UNDOUBTEDLY retain their form and memories and produce a high ranking Nobody. One who could join the Organization. I'm convinced this is what Xaldin was after. Their group's ranks were already cut in half after the whole Castle Oblivion fiasco, so I have no doubt Xaldin was potentially hoping for a new ally in the Beast. Just my theory anyway.

Kingdom Hearts has always been, as a series, a discussion of the border between light and darkness, as well as the spectrum in between. I think that's why the Disney worlds are important. They're the light in the series. Without them, the series is all dark and edgy. I also think it's intentional. KH1 is the lightest game in tone. It also has most of it's moments being entirely light or entirely dark, with little exploration of subtlety in the spectrum between. Once the organization is introduced in KH2, it's a complex story about a group of characters who have an actual justified goal, going about it with bad methods. Similarly, the worlds have a more complex split between dark and light moments. The theme doesn't really work that well for KH3 or the non-numbered titals, but in KH3 at least the world stories flip between dark and light, along with the main story of the game.

Olympus may not have been too impactful in the moment in KH1, but it gets increasingly more important with each passing game, notably Hercules's role as a hero role model to Sora and how it influences him throughout the series, and the whole "half-pint" narrative started by Phil that came back in full force in KH3.

"Kingdom Hearts is a separate beast entirely." [Shows Beast] [Positions Xigbar and Xaldin images so Xaldin's lance goes through Xigbar] "Ow." 13:15 Actually, you might notice that Riku is actually fighting the Heartless. He isn't directly attacking Sora. Sora only gets in the way of his attacks while fighting him. I would like for more worlds in the future to have their lore tie in with the lore of the greater World, like King Triton knowing about the Keyblade War. Instead, however, later games act as though each world is its own separate dimension that sometimes have their own distinct laws of magic and nature (Port Royal KH2, for example). The only world in KH3 to properly tease this was Monsters Inc., when Sulley says that Boo is from another world (oddly, Sora doesn't immediately drop the "world order" pretenses) and when Sulley yeets Vanitas into Arendelle, that banishment door into Corona, and that banishment door into San Fransokyo. Was Mother Gothel around during the original Keyblade War? Were Lord Demanitus and the Master of Masters contemporaries? Do the spirits in Northuldra have some special significance with the worlds' magic? Will we see former Traverse Town refugees and will they address the events surrounding KH1? Are Alice, Wendy, and Jane from the same world? Where do the airplanes mentioned in that San Fransokyo news article go to?

I think the second visit to the Land of Dragons has two nice little details that I quite like. First one is when SDG mention the Organisation, Mulan responds with a "What is that?" Makes her feel like a living person who is allowed to have curiosities outside of her own world. Her also being the one to yell "wait" to Xigbar is pretty nice. The second one being that The Emperor hypothesises the Storm Rider's identity as one of China's dragons being turned into a heartless. I think it's nifty because it shows him having a bit more wisdom than the average inhabitant of a Disney world, along with giving the Storm Rider a sense of identity beyond "we need a boss for this world."

Honestly I always kinda forget that Space Paranoids is really its own world. Just cause in both visits it is so intertwined with what is going on in Hollow Bastion in both cases, that it just feels like a part of it

i just want to point out showing the clip of beast while saying "kingdom hearts is a separate beast entirely" that just cracked me up for some reason lmao

30:15 I think it makes some sense that Young Xehanort is the one appearing in Toy Box since he was like, the main antagonist of DDD and wanted to turn Sora into one of his vessels, kinda like how the toys become “vessels” for the Heartless.

Sora's idea that 'seeing a heart is what makes it real' is actually a lesson he learne from Joshua in DDD which is a nice bit of continuity. I also love Tron in KH2 and its part of why I like Tron in DDD too. The end of Rinzler (evil Tron) was more satisfying end to his arc than the actual movie and it was a parallel to the Anti Aqua in KH3. Sora even learned to not hesitate to fight the darkness out of his friends again from Quorra when he hesitated to fight Tron. And it ends with Rinzler reaching for Sora's hands in almost the exact same composition as Aqua and Sora in the fragmentary passage opening and KH3. Then there was the actual callbacks to KH2.

I really loved when Bell just gut checks Xaldin and she's just booking it with a huge ass grin on her face, affirming that Beauty and the Beast is one of my Favorite Disney movies, no question!

KH2 is sweating

I guess this as good as a place as any to talk about how I think Wonderland was the perfect first Disney world for Sora to visit. If you think about this is the tutorial for how to handle the world order for Sora, and what better world to do that then with a property about a child trying to understand the new world she has stumbled across. It feels like Sora actually takes on the Alice role and uses this knowledge for his etiquette in other worlds, being if someone is in trouble world order be damned, but play by the world's rules otherwise. And it is hinted that Alice is from another world than Wonderland, so the idea of world travel besides gummi ship or destruction of prior world is first hinted at, if small. However, since the video discussed how these minor things held more weight in 2002, i thought i'd mention it.

Arendale does NOT deserve to be in the same tier as Beast's Castle.

I have never much minded even the "filler" worlds, since they all as far as I can remember have at least some similar theming to the journey at large. Even things like the string of memory throughout CoM, where it doesn't matter all that much to the story at large but does provide some sort of meaning in the moment. Even though you are basically just going through the same story, it recontextualizes and Sora gets new things from each experience. The Organization spreading out through the worlds feels significant, even if basically nothing happens except for a brief sighting. I just rather like that even if there is little real consequence to a lot of worlds, I never feel like it was totally a waste of time. In short, even the less good KH worlds are pretty rad in my opinion.

The only kingdom hearts games where I ever felt the Disney worlds didn’t really contribute to the story were Chain of Memories and Union Cross. But even then, UX had at least Enchanted dominion and Wreck it Ralph so there’s that. Regardless, aside from those 2 the Disney worlds DO matter!!! And they were easily my favorite in KH3 & 358/2 Days

Thinking about it (before I get too far into the video) Birth By Sleep is the one game where a lot of the worlds do play a role in game. By the way I love the reference at 22:37 clearly you remember Achmed

While personally I don't agree with all of your points they are well made and rather than nitpick I'd like to extend my heartfelt thanks for giving the Disney worlds the attention they deserve, especially since a decent chunk of the online fanbase doesn't.

13:25 actually in a cool detail Riku never directly attacks you during the fight. He only attacks when a heartless is close you’ll only get hurt if you’re in Riku’s line of fire

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the non-numbered titles as well! This was interesting. I never thought of space paranoids like that honestly but I think you made a believer out of me. Thanks for putting out such amazing content!

I love the original stuff in Kingdom Hearts, but when a new game comes out the first thing I'm always most excited for is seeing the banter between Sora, Donald and Goofy and what worlds they visit. I wouldn't have ever got into KH without the Disney stuff. It's a miracle this series exists as it is and that's what makes it so special

Pat I literally quit my job today. Thanks for the much needed content.

I really liked the optional revisit of Pride Lands, like Clayton from KH1, it was a sneaky preview of a future game’s new monster type. Clayton was a sneaky introduction to nobodies (no heart, no see friends. No heart, no friends). Scar’s ghosts were of a kind with unversed. That said it still was pretty optional in regards to the plot at large

I think the implication with the Riku fight in Land of Dragons is that he's trying to run away, but Sora keeps stopping him and Riku has to shake him off. But the game format presents that as "In an enclosed arena, Sora attacks Riku, and Riku mostly avoids fighting Sora".

For me, I think I take ‘filler’ and apply it more towards when there’s a lot of story elements ripped right from the movie, and not new/skewed plots made within the worlds. Because watching a cutscene that follows a movie I’ve already seen to me feels like filler. So the entirety of every cutscene within that world might not be filler, but to me having a lot of unaltered cutscenes definitely ups the feeling of ‘filler’. Not sure if I’m using the word correctly, but I wonder if other people are defining it that way too

It's ironic that the two Disney worlds that aren't traditional 'worlds' in the series (Hundred Acre Woods and Space Paranoids) exist on wildly different ends of the spectrum when it comes to overall relevance to the story at large.

I'm always floored by how people can say with a straight face that Kingdom Hearts should just drop the Disney worlds. That's like.. The whole point? Why would you ever even consider that? Even if they aren't always good, they're still almost always fun to go through. KH without Disney is just removing the soul from it at that point. Other then that, I'd just like to say that, even though I agree with most of all of the popular critiques on Arendelle, I've always really liked the Ice Labyrinth for some odd reason... I don't know, I find it to me the neatest part of the world. Even if it literally just comes out of nowhere.

I feel like the more filler-y worlds work better when they're optional rather than mandatory, because wasting time in the Pride Lands doesn't feel so bad when you don't actually have to do it, while still giving the idea that SDG are generally spending each game actively searching for something specific, so these optional worlds give the idea of reaching dead-ends without actually forcing you to go through something irrelevant. Conversely, if a world's mandatory and still feels like filler, like KH2's Land of Dragons, it's a lot less interesting because it feels like a waste of time to have to slug through this world when it has nothing to do. And it's my main issue with KH3, since every world except 100 Acre Woods is strictly mandatory, they had to try and make every single world relevant to the larger story, and most of them frankly don't do well enough in that regard.

- Belle elbowing Xaldin in the guts - Woody roasting the ever-loving shit out of Young Xehanort - Sully scaring Vanitas and then yeeting him into God-Knows-Where Just some stuff you won't get if not for Disney content

I always only thought Marluxia was paired with the Kingdom of COVID because of the association with flowers, but that Rapunzel/Naminé parallel is an excellent catch.

Honestly, the aesthetic of Kingdom Hearts lends so well with the disney worlds. And as much as people want to say they don’t have anything to do with the story, a lot of the individual characters get their own development in those worlds. They learn a lesson that they carry with them through the game. Yes, they aren’t the most important plot points ever, but they have some real relevance when it comes to character development.

Well my day’s been pretty good, thanks for asking, Pat.

I randomly got recommended your channel on reddit and you said bold move. Watching your videos over the last week has greatly improved my life and has given me the itch to play all the games again. I haven't replayed 3 since it first launched, and I'm excited to jump back in. Keep doing you Pat! I can listen to you talk about KH all day. In fact, I have been!

This was really well put together! I found myself agreeing with most of the points you brought up, keep it up, Pat!

Wonderful video! I always thought Space Paranoids felt integral to the story. My brother and I are huge fans of this series. You should do a ranking of all the Kingdom Hearts games.

Sora, Shrek, and Donkey is EXACTLY what I want.

The only thing I'd really disagree on is Frozen being as high up as it is, but that's probably because the world was so mind-numbing to play I involuntarily forget anything good about it as soon as I finish getting through it every time

Please never stop makin these I love watchin super long videos bout games i love while drawing

This is one of my favorite videos you have done! Just saw that you have a follow up, and will look at that one now!

24:52 😂 I love that you go from “ steamed my carrots” to “ smacks me ass”

Loved the vid. You mentioned a follow up, I'd love to see one! Love your stuff and watch everything you put out!

I think it's funny how in KH canon, Pete goes from just a grumpy, but well meaning guy to a bumbling villain, but in actual Disney canon it feels the opposite, as Pete was very much the villainous type in most of the early classic cartoons, then to a mean-spirited antagonist, but the modern depiction we've had since the 90's has him depicted as a changed man. A grumpy neighbor, but friend to Goofy all the same. Or as an obstacle in the modern cartoons, but not really a villain, like the Disney Junior shows or Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse cartoons.

My day has been great thanks for asking

Great vid! Really seems like you get what makes kingdom hearts so good. I’m hoping future games will tie in the Disney worlds to the overall story more often.

Love your work man

You had me at “My soul is already far beyond saving” No truer statement for my, and many other peoples feelings towards this series.

Kingdom hearts 3 felt empty of one thing. Kingdom hearts was ALWAYS, the premise began of mixing Disney and final fantasy. Bam that was the premise he Tatsuya was laughed at his idea first off. But then it exploded and became what it is. So, all games its literally about pandering to fans and throwing our favorite characters together. Sora and the others respectfully became great characters themselves doing this however it remains the same... There originally was no final fantasy in kh3 what you see now is download content extra add on. It felt like a glop of Disney to me even how it ended you can really predict cause...ITS DISNEY. They removed final fantasy they removed suspense I felt no suspense personally because you can see from a mile away as you play. Its saturated in Disney no one is seriously gonna stay dead or actually go away or anything. Nope and of course gonna be happy ending yet throw in twist so another game can be made. I didn't like the amount of Disney, AMOUNT is keyword here. Getting rid of final fantasy was just a mistake in my opinion and it shows when literally they threw in every final fantasy that would make sense they could for their download content. So I see them doing opposite approach with next game. The complaint will be the same but switch roles. Kingdom hearts need BOTH Disney, and final fantasy

Thank you for this video!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed the video. I would love to see the follow-up video with BBS, 3D and days worlds!

The charm of the series comes from these characters who all at this point have serious trauma, traveling through lighthearted and colorful worlds, a sad story with colorful backdrops. If you remove that Disney juxtaposition it's not a KH game.

Great video! Also, I laughed out loud at the list of better options for San Fransokyo! Especially Clayton!

Definitely a very fun and interesting video! I really hope you’re gonna do BBS/DDD next

Great video! I would love to hear you talk about more worlds.

Please do make a continuation with the other installments this was some 10/10 content my dude

Those first 4 minutes of the video sum up exactly what I feel about the notion of removing Disney worlds. Aside from the fact that Disney owns the series,(which many either ignore or aren't aware of), the series has been and always will be a "crossover" of Disney & Final Fantasy/Square properties. Something that might be ignored in this discourse though is the other half: the removal of Final Fantasy which has slowly been occurring and (hopefully) will be reversed.

Very good analysis! :)

I definitely liked this and would love that non-numbered titles follow-up

i had a really nice day thanks for asking

Great video. Would definitely watch a follow-up looking at non-numbered sequels

Great video, I'd definitely love to see a follow up

I’ll admit, at first I didn’t quite get what you meant by mainline games, since I’ve always thought they were all mainline, and spent the majority of the video thinking “Wow, I haven’t seen any dream drop distance worlds yet! They must’ve all ranked really high!“ I’d love to see the follow up you suggested!

another great video! Glad to hear these topics explored. To me, KH isn't KH without disney worlds, and I SUPER agree that most of KHII's worlds had the filler problem of being mostly, if not entirely separate from the main plot of the game, which makes the cutscenes easy to skip on subsequent playthroughs.

Got to appreciate that “Well, well, well,” bit at the end

An in depth look at the other games would be awesome. Especially how themes of each world match the overall tone of the story, more so in CoM and 3D.

i'm so happy to see some space paranoids love!! it's one of my favorite worlds in the series

You opened my opinions up about the KH3 worlds you praised, especially Monstropolis. Thanks for this video.

Twisted Reference I respect that lol thanks for the help as i try to make my own video essay and start to think about the content in the Disney worlds.

Riku/Maleficent/Pete walking on a free way at night it would have been hysterical to see some office worker pulling an all nighter just turn around to see three weirdos on the express way outside of his office building and him freaking out in the background as the former three hold their conversation xD.

Another really great video! an idea I had for a world that could have a really cool connection to the larger series would be a gravity falls world. imagine if something like the key blade or kingdom hearts was an entry in one of the journals, potentially from xehanort going there during his past travels and running into Ford

15:35 seeing Clayton on that list really got me Also could you do a follow up video on BBS and DDD ( also CoM and Days if you want to)

I would like the video on the BBS, Days, and DDD worlds. Great job here!

(*VERY LONG POST, SORRY I HAD A LOT TO SAY* ;-;) I personally think the issue lies in that KH1 did it near perfectly. You could tell it was that fine balance of "Disney whimsy" and Square Enix plot. You had Sora developing these deep thoughts on what the heart/soul is and how far to go to save people you care about. Mixed in with the Villains committing crimes in their respective worlds. Think of that one scene in Neverland where Sora is just happy to have flown and can't wait to tell Kairi... it occurs because he developed in that world. It also helps that the Disney Villains are THE villains (I know Ansem slips in at the end but still). Malificent being this dark being who orchestrates everything and showcases how powerful the darkness is when you are in control of it is cool and fun. You also travel to each world, looking for Kairi and developing skills but the worlds themselves are also personal to Sora. In Jungle he learns that no matter how far away his friends are, they're with him in his heart which is A REALLY BIG IDEA that is played up all the way to Hollow Bastion AND Scalla ad Caleum in KH3. That his friends, are his power and that's all in the beginning hour of the SERIES. In Wonderland you discover that the Princess of Heart are being stolen from their worlds, which is one of the main plots of the game and even hints towards why Kairi is missing. In Atlantica, you learn how Triton knows about the other worlds and that there is something bigger that went on in the past to where OTHER WORLDS knew about the other worlds at one point, a point that makes A LOT MORE SENSE in UX. It all just mixes well with the dinsey worlds, which is why when you come to the next set of games they feel very forced because the balance has shifted highly on SE side. Malificent being the biggest fuck-up. What does she down other than job and get pushed aside? She was THE big bad in KH1, she was the ring leader and controller of darkness. She could manipulate such crushing magic at her opponent. What does she do now? she... stands a mile away from the plot going "yes. I am here looming over". I have recently replayed KH2, I am still replaying it now and up to the Pridelands again and you really have to wonder... what was the point of the first 2 worlds. Beast is mad and China is in danger. What does Sora learn that advances or hints at a further plot in the game? In Olympus we learned Hades can apparently summon the dead back to life and use them as puppets but what did that have to do with the overall plot? The Disney Castle/Steamboat sections are just Malificent specific in which she attacks something in the past to hurt it in the present but that has absolutely NOTHING to do with the end game or anything after that point. It's just real estate shopping for her in her quest to own a castle?????? THIS WAS THE BIG BAD IN THE LAST GAME AND HER GOAL IS TO FIND A CASTLE. BBS, is actually pretty good in intergrating the disney plots because the worlds again enhance the characters. In each world Terra gets dicked about by the villain to be a villain and taking advantage of him, Ven's untapped good energy is enhanced in each world and Aqua fixes the messes Terra leaves behind. It has a very realistic view of siblings and how consequences of actions can ripple through the families. Each world also showcases them developing in some way. Aqua in Cinderella land learns that the darkness can't just be beaten by overwhelming light and that the lighter you shine the more darkness you cast and when you think how she carried her love for Terra and Ven to the end... she didn't turn into a shadow or a heartless like Sora did, she turned into a dark version of herself that was close to Xehanort. She didn't lose control, she was a fully sentient person who had her love and hope switched completely. Terra, manipulated by the adults around him ended up shackled to the very adult who started it. He put his faith and trust in people and every single one of them let him down to the point that he was trapped in a cycle and being blamed left right and center when just "last week" he was competing with his sister over a promotion. In every world, despite him feeling in his gut he is doing wrong he puts more trust in the adults which at the end of the day... is a real thing that can happen to youths. Then you have Ven, the youth and innocence of the player themselves. Every disney world he goes to, he makes friends and has a great time learning about friendship and joy and family. He in some way, fixes the problems his siblings left behind in each world and helps piece things together when inside... he's literally broken in half. You see it at the start and end that he is steamrolling towards confronting his nasty side. A side of himself that he does not want to see, like or hear from but he has to which I personally saw as an allegory from growing up which we all do. And I know that was a long post about BBS but it all adds up when you remember that each part of those journeys takes place IN THE DISNEY WORLDS. You don't go to the Disney worlds, dick about replaying the movies and then get to the Keyblade grave yard and THEN have those revelations. And this is where KH2 and worse so, 3 fail. The revelations of those two games (for the most part) happen in the SE worlds. You didn't find out Xigbar was in the land of dragons so that he could target specifically the hearts of patriotic men who serve their worlds through and through thus being "strong hearts" for their project. Or how Demyx went to Olympus to take Hades's soul cairn to use for fuel for the Heart project. They just... exist. And then you get to Hollow Bastion and Saix just says the plot for you and then you go to Atlantica to sing about how Ariel is in love.

I don't know if it's just selfishness, but I really want to see Kingdom Hearts worlds based on Blue Sky movies. Disney owns them, I'm nostalgic for them, and if we're going to get anything good out of the studio getting killed it might as well be watching Blu from Rio giving a completely out of character speech about hearts and love or something equivalent.

PLEASE do a follow up including the worlds of non-numbered games i greatly appreciated this one

Loving this content…but also that Twisted reference…perfection.

wow im early. huge fan of your content

Hearing you reference Twisted almost gave me whiplash it was so shocking haha, what a cool guy

They should’ve had Clayton instead of Dark Riku

I wholeheartedly agree with this video. I do hope to see that follow up on other KH games and their Disney worlds when you're ready for it.

I love this channel

I just LOVED that Twisted reference, thank you for that.

I really want Maleficent to be the main villain this time around, she's such a bad ass woman. I'm really tired of the anime characters getting all the attention.

Wake up, babe, new RegularPat video dropped.
