Kh3 has the only bad opening of the 3 main games but is the best over all game in terms of story and the way they conclude the Xehanort saga was incredible. Spoiler warning prepare for one hell of a tragic death among one of the main 3 of Sora, Kairi, and Riku.
@@nixuniverse5240 It was created before KH by Utada Hikaru as part of the album This is the one and is owned by Bunkamura studios. Separated from Square Enix and Disney.
Me to Joker all the way to Sora I’m truly happy but now I get the feeling the salt will rise and HOES WILL GO MAD Super smash bros ultimate is now complete I’m never ever asking Sakurai for anything else ever again
The animation in this intro is over 20 years old and somehow, by some miracle, it aged like fine, fine paupo fruit wine. The character designs, the lighting, even the scenery manages to all be stellar, even without tools we have in the 2020s like Unreal Engine. I can't overstate how much I love this cutscene; it's truly a masterpiece.
I miss these times where my only worries were beating Sephiroth at the Colisseum. Edit: damn, 1.5 k likes. Glad I wasn't the only one struggling against Seph.
This had such a weirdly intense impact on me as a kid. Like it’s almost hard to describe how deeply this is embedded into my subconscious lol, It’s almost foundational. I’ve heard similar things from other people that also played this at a young age Funny, looking back now from a more objective POV it’s just a corny dance beat with some catchy vocals and some uncanny CGI visuals. But god damn did this blow my mind at the time. It kind of changed my whole life in a weird way lmao. Idk, hard to describe.
You aren’t alone. I’m 30 now and this still brings me back to a lot. I was very protective with my friends and family before the game and I was even more so after this game and have been since. I tend to put faith in myself and partners in everything we do now and it’s always worked out lol this game subconsciously changed me mentally, emotionally and spiritually and hasn’t been a game like it since.
yeah dude this series changed my life and is like a sacred childhood memory to me for some reason. havent even played 3 because im worried ill ruin my memory of the older games. sometimes i wonder how i wouldve turned out had i not played these games lol

@@JCAnimus you and everyone, in that time if i want to heard the complete version i was to grab my brother's GBA and try to defeat Marluxia cause in that time we don't have balls to finish KH 1
@@Arkanemacht actually Sora came into existence because the designers couldn’t decide on whether the player character should be Donald or Mickey, so they made a new character with a design based on Mickey. The compromise for Donald I’m guessing is that they made him the most powerful mage in SquareEnix’s pantheon of characters.
I might just be crazy but at 2:42 when he’s down in the darkness on the platform it gives me such nostalgic vibes. Just the tone of those synthesizers have that early 2000’s trippy electronic feel to them, and it makes me feel reminiscent of those old Halo 1 maps that are dark and futuristic feeling, along with the Xbox, PS2, and GameCube main menus. There’s a part of me that wishes I could go back to that era when I was just in elementary school and be in total chill mode with that same cool/trippy yet relaxing music in a dark room playing video games with my friends or by myself. I may not be making sense though but hopefully someone understands what I mean.
The only game to this day that made me cry at the ending, back in 2002 as a child I was overcome by emotion and I'll never forget that this game made me feel that way.
If Sora comes to Smash then I'm coming back to this video to scream the lyrics till my lungs give out Edit: GUESS WHO'S BACK WITH A BLOWN OUT VOICE!? LET'S GO!!
Never played the game, but I always remembered the song and commercials feeling so epic because of the song. Whoever picked the music did an excellent job!
I remember when I first saw the trailer for kingdom hearts 1 , I remember when Disney channel introduced it. I can still hear the trailers song within my mind to this day. With the revalation of the 3rd kingdom hearts, I was hit with so much nostalgia. I've missed these older games.
Same there was a show on the Disney Channel that talked about video games and they gave a preview of this i was so excited and couldn't wait for the game. They showed game play and some of the intro scenes.
When we are older, you'll understand What I meant when I said "No, I don't think life is quite that simple" I was 6yrs old when first heard this. Now I'm 20 and this hits different.
...I gotta admit, hearing KH3 Sora *AND* Yozora say that exact line damn near in unison in the last Re:Mind trailer was both incredibly nostalgic and quite mysterious. The implications of them being connected... or even 2 sides of the same coin... are hard to miss.
sleepyprinny you know I wouldn't be surprised if in a future KH game where Yozora was the protagonist, they use this exact same opening, shot for shot, but replace Sora and Kairi with Yozora and Stella (nameless star). Not sure who Riku would be
Those PS1 - PS2 era intros were something different. The anticipation of putting in the disc to a game you’ve been waiting for(finally convinced your parents to get it for you or finally saved up enough to buy it yourself) and being mesmerized by the opening FMV. MGS2, Final Fantasy VIII, Vagrant Story, Parasite Eve, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, Onimusha 3, Silent Hill 1 & 2, Soul Calibur II type vibes...miss those days
All these years later and this intro STILL gives me chills and leaves the hairs standing up on the back of my neck (just like it did the very first time I saw it)................. it doesn't matter that I was 20 when Kingdom Hearts originally came out............. Just like it doesn't matter that I'm 40 now............... I will ALWAYS love Kingdom Hearts.
I just started playing kingdom hearts (through the remixes) and dude, this game is so amazing, definitely one of the best games I’ve ever played, the story, the gameplay, characters, disney, etc everything is so magic, I’m currently playing 2.5 remix
I was 6 when I first played this, The feeling this gives me when I hear it can’t be explained only felt lol I can vividly remember the day my friend down the street brought this over and showed me this. I am forever grateful.
Same, well more so in 2021 when I was repeatedly watching it in collage. I'm 30 now and remember playing this game. "I been having these weird thoughts lately. Is any of this for real, or not?" It's a game that tucks away somewhere away from everything, personal in.... age, childhood or adulthood. And the creator who made this put something in it. And I quite admire it more do now.
