@@jackwalkeruwu8527 i think there’s a good chance he will because shortly after Sora’s reveal a bunch of people came forward saying that Disney weren’t the ones keeping Sora out of smash. It was Nomura. When Nintendo approached Disney and Square to get Sora in smash 4 disney gave them the thumbs up, but Nomura would not allow Sora to join smash until after KH 3 came out, and given the way KH3 ends it really makes you kind of “Hmmmmmmmm” a little bit
I love that in Remind we get to see Saix poking holes in Xion's composure. He makes sure to repeat Axel and Roxas' names after seeing them affect her. Really gets across that he is trying to help right under Xemnas' nose.
@@MasonPerry7 And then, when Roxas returns, and Xemnas lists off all the people that betrayed the true org: "Ansem the Wise... Zexion..." Roxas _points at Saix_ and says "And others too."
Nothing really encapsulates Sora just totally turning his brain off and rolling with the plot like telling Namine to go wait in the semi-afterlife he just found out about so he can time travel and rescue Terra's empty armor being piloted by his leftover spirit, then telling Xehanort that time travel isn't special anymore. And treat that as totally normal information.
"This is the part where you spout some mumbo-jumbo and disappear, right?" "They're after a 'New Seven Hearts', which seems to be code for 'let's go bother more princesses'." He's seen it all by now.
@@Nettacki Just like what Final Mix is. Except for KH1 and 2, you had to buy the game for a full $60 again and restart your progress. With KH3, you spend half of that and get more.
@PermanentViolet Lmao no. Although there are extra gameplay elements with playing as different characters and the data battles, it's otherwise just a rehash of the Keyblade Graveyard section of the game.
@Black Sheep Re:Mind is a lot like Final Mix. Of course, it's the best. And you know you're in the wrong for saying that it's a rehash of the endgame when there's so much more than just that.
God, Christopher Lloyd is an amazing Xehanort, though it is a shame the circumstances that lead to him being cast in the role. RIP to both Leonard Nimoy and Rutger Hauer
Sora: "Hey Kairi I know we just got back to the island, but I.. I have to go now. I'll come back to you one day. I promise.." Kairi w/ tears: "I... I know you will..." 😭😭😭😭
31:03 Everyone always goes "oh really, of course she gets stopped, Nomura doesn't even let Kairi have a moment" but I always saw that part as Xemnas basically having to cheat just to stop Kairi. Like if he didn't do that thing and grab Sora and Kairi she would've totally whupped his ass, she was going hard
In 358/2 Days, Xemnas is affiliated with the Nil element, which has a chance to ignore defenses. So yes, it kinda makes sense that he'd beat the two of them by cheating.
We get to play as Kairi in Re:Mind, so we know now that despite being a novice, Kairi is no slouch with a Keyblade. She could've absolutely clapped Xemnas in a fair fight.
Honestly we all had the same reaction as you did watching the ReMind title screen add Kairi next to Sora. It was just so surreal to see it happen. This whole DLC was magical.
Saix/Isa is so underrated. In the scene before the Saix fight, where they're talking about Xion's nature and how she has no memory, at one point you can see Saix distinctly look at Xion for a moment, and then say "No. It's not Roxas, Axel". Even when he was on the Organization's side, he was totally trying to subtly jog her memory so that she could be saved
Fun fact: the voice saying "you are the one who will open the door" to sora in the dive to the heart in KH1 has been confirmed to be Mickey. So him talking to astral projecting Sora isn't too far off to be honest.
Technically, I've read many translations of the relevant KH1 Ultimania, and he only says The King and never calls him Mickey. I'm not saying its not Mickey just that I find it convenient for Nomura it npdoesnt actually say Mickey.
@@kaielthoth5363 I mean, until the end of the game, Donald and Goofy only refer to him as The King, and Mickey is the only person to be called The King. Mickey is the only person in KH1 he could be refering to, especially since we see Mickey talk to Riku in a similar way towards the end of KH1.
So, about Xemnas. I've actually met the voice actor as he is a regular at a con I go to. And one time while I was fencing on stage with my fencing instructor, Paul Saint Peter came out on stage to the sound of One Winged Angel and acted like he impaled the two of us with a sword. The crowd ate it up and the room was chanting Xemnas' Fandom nickname which I won't write here in case RU-vid doesn't like it. But def a top 10 memory for me.
Spoiler warning: Here’s a little wholesome info, when Saïx said Roxas and Axel out loud before Xion attacked he was purposely trying to stir up her memories so she could go back to the Guardians of Light because he was the one who was helping Vexen and Demyx give the guardians a replica for Roxas. Saïx was never evil this whole series, he only sided with Xemnas to find the missing girl and only sided with Xehanort to help Lea from the inside.
Well, there was that period of time, when he was jealous of Axel making friends with Roxas and Xion, which undoubtedly complicated things a bit, but otherwise yeah.
Honestly have loved your whole journey thru kingdom hearts, it’s a game near and dear to me and many of us, and it’s great to see you fall just as in love with this series as the rest of us‼️ May your heart be your guiding key
OH MY GOD IM ABOUT TO SCREAM BECAUSE I WAS JUST THINKING ANOUT HOW AMAZING ITD BE TO SEE YOU REACT TO REMIND. I CRIED DURING MY PLAYTHROUGH AND I KNOW ILL CRY NOW
They really need to make another Roxas centered entry in the Kingdom hearts series. Everyone loves him and his dual keyblade gameplay is still imo the most fun in the series.
id like to imagine sora and kairi literally just appeared at the party which is why everyone looks at them. only for sora to disappear suddenly and kairi is left holding the bag.
I actually laughed out loud when you said “When did you learn telepathy?” Idk why the way you said it was so funny to me. Interestingly enough Mickey’s telepathy is seen all the way back as the mysterious voice in Kingdom Hearts 1, and in Re:Chain he uses the same power to talk to Riku in Castle Oblivion. I’m glad they brought that ability back.
I never fully understood what happened at the end, until now. Sora was there. in the end he made it home with Kairi, he got to celebrate his last moments with his friends. watching the Fireworks at Disney Castle, Reuniting a friend after mourning a loss of a father, Watching the sunset and eating ice cream with friends, being there when friend gets her own identity. and finally taking the time to say "I Love You, Kairi." before he paid the Ultimate price. When I first played, I thought Sora was just never return with Kairi, and Kairi’s heart was painting sora as she remembered him like Aqua was doing with Terra and Ven, when she was trapped in the Realm of Darkness. I never thought Sora actually vanished from their world/universe just like that. I thought he was able to get kairi back, and there was just some mystical force keeping him from returning home.
That really is a heartbreaking scene.. But I don't think he ever said "I love you, Kairi" or such, he even stated directly in the game that he "still has much to learn about love" (Caribbean World). By the lips at the end, on the tree, it seems more like "--closer to home" so my guess is that he tells Kairi what he said at the very beginning of the game. "They can take your Word, they can take your heart,..." Etc
@@AlexanDrakeDUB one thing I will add about the Caribbean scene at the end of kh3 when sora saves everyone and he sees kairi in front of him he has a flash back to that scene and then gasp as he looks at kairi To me that implies that he just now at that moment understood what it means But I dont think he says "I love you" tho I think it would be great if its his goodbye from kh1
Much like all your previous journeys, this one is also top notch! Thank you so much for this Leigh, it's truly been such a pleasure to relive this journey and to re-experience all the emotions that I had when going through Re:Mind. There were so many amazing moments here, and a lot of heartbreak as well towards the end too! If you did perchance go through the data battles (and the super secret boss fight at the end), that would be such a joy to see as well, but I imagine that a super-cut of that video would probably take a long while to make, so I'll wait patiently for when it's ready :) In the meantime, I'll watch whatever other content you put on here too!!
Finished your series of KH Journey videos, was really refreshing to watch someone experience the series first hand on video and see what your reaction would be to specific events throughout. Looking forward to your future content!
I have really loved watching your journey with kingdom hearts. Watching someone’s first experience with this beautiful story that pretty much matched my own just made me so happy lol!
I love your kingdom hearts reactions they really make my day. thank you for uploading them here to watch anytime thank you for all the time spent and all the feels
seeing another soul fall in love with this series like i did as a kid is a truly amazing thing. i love that yo uhave loved this story as much as i did. pro tip: if you do melody of memory just lay back and enjoy the music
You made my terrible week better with your upload. I’ve been following you for months and I love watching you enjoy my childhood so much. Thanks so much for all you do, especially for us measly RU-vid viewers.
No disrespect to Rutger Hauer, rest in peace, but Christopher Lloyd does such a good job of recapturing the energy of Nimoy's performance as Xehanort. His voice fits so perfectly, he's probably my favorite. Glad they got him back for Melody of Memory.
people can insult me as much as they like when i tell them i love a disney game, but kingdom hearts is somthing special. i'm unreasonably hype for kingdom hearts 4 and i hope it comes out on a shorter timescale than kingdom hearts 3 did
Hell yeah. Been waiting to see your reaction to all the feels traps that remind puts you through. Original KH3 ending happy hurts. Remind gives that ending even more sweetness, and when it twists the knife it hurts even more. Damn, what a journey this series is. Also, a moment of acknowledgment for how much of badass Sora is. He's involved in taking down every organization member as is, then remind comes and shows that even the bits that Sora didn't seem to be a part of, Sora was body hopping and pulling some of the strings! What a legend.
Just finished. I love these videos of yours. Something about reaction/first time/playthrough videos really get to me. The sharing of something you love with others. Seeing others cry where you cried, laugh along, or struggle with a universally difficult fight... Watching this journey of yours has been beautiful. Keep being amazing, hun.
One thing that took me a while to figure out was the part of the memories from roxas heart returning the memories sora recieved in dream drop distance arent just roxas alone but theyre all part of xions memory that roxas never let go of.
So how I always understood Terra both being the Dark Guardian and the Lingering Will, is that Terras actual heart was trapped in the Guardian. But the armor was literally what its name suggests. His lingering will. His desire to save his friends was so strong that he imprinted on the armor right before he got swallowed by Darkness. So the armor isnt really a person, but Terras strong desire to save his friends given form.
I just found your channel (shoutout to SarahKey!) and I love the kingdom hearts content! Kingdom hearts forever ❤❤❤ REMIND was so worth it! It made the ending of kingdom hearts 3 even better by giving us all these behind the scenes moments and got us to feel it again ❤️❤️❤️
The interesting thing about kairi's fighting style is that most of it is based off of KH1 Sora's moves. She has a Sonic Blade, a Strike Raid, and even the same battle stance as Sora. I think that's likely because she spent so much time with her heart in Sora's body, so she may have picked up some of his combat experience alongside Sora.
I've been on a journey with all your videos in such a short time. As soon as I saw this get released at work I took a break and went to go watch then realize I need to watch this in peace at home. You never disappoint. The same way you reacted about playable roxas was the same as me.
I may have said this on an earlier vid, but in case I haven't But thank you so much for showing us how much you loved and were affected by the Kingdom hearts series. It's genuinely my greatest joy in life watching others enjoy things and seeing you play through this series and learn things about this wacky knot of a story (and even showed me things I had forgotten or missed) was such a joy. Keep going forward with your streams and exploring the universes of games and bring that joy and energy forward to so many others. It's cheesy and melodramatic but i have to say it, " May your heart be your guiding key".
Tears aside I think Chirithy is gonna be a big help with Scala exploration and getting everyone else caught up with Ye Ol' Union Cross events + Vanitas' existence. Little guy's pretty much the only one in 'reality' that can explain anything and (probably) isn't on Luxu's squad. Unless Scala isn't actually devoid of life and actually filled with other keyblade wielders.
I was so excited to get to play as Kairi for the first time! And she has a cool teleportation move and giant energy blasts! And that beautiful team attack! Very satisfying!
"I'll come back to you, I promise." My head-cannon of what Sora says at the end. A full circle reminder of his promise to Kairi after KH "Ill come back for you, I promise!" only that he knows he has to disappear, but he'll find his way back to her, just like she found her way to him in KH2.
This dlc was excruciating to play. Was so sad. But so good! Watching this video a year after I played it just brought back all those memories again. Thank you
Well, now that you've got nothing left but Melody of Memory to playthrough, time to fill the void with fanfictions about Axel, Roxas, and Xion actually getting to live their fucking lives for once.
And once again it took me some tears to watch ur reaction for this awesome dlc !! i loved it and i can tell you, your journey reached germany and me!! i loved to watch all your reaction videos, sadly i was way to late to join your journey live on twitch, but iam glad i could rewatch the whole series of kingdom hearts with ur reactions on it !! i really hope, there will be a short part2 with all the organisation fights and you struggling hard with yozora xD .. Best regards and thank you for this awesome journey.. it was like watching ur favourite series and always waiting for the next episode to air xP
Amazing video Leigh Ur amazing and the remind dlc made me cry when I first played it they did an amazing Job On remind and I honestly can't wait for kh4 and Possible a kh4 dlc if they do make one!
Lore, Ventus is actually a dandelion from daybreak town (Union X) who traveled to the future alongside, skuld (theoretically the girl Isa and Lea are looking for), Elrena (Larxene), and laurium (Marluxia) and and starlitzia was accidentally killed by Ventus when he became possessed by the darkness (which is the darkness of vanitas that was within him before Xahanort seperated them causing Ventus amnesia)
I liked Kingdom Hearts but Re:Mind made me love the game. It hurts so much but in a weird way. I just want Sora and Kairi to be together, is that so damn hard?!?!
I waited for this video to come out for so long just to get an answer to the question "was i the only one who cried like a baby when playing as Mickey on that scene?"
