Imagine Kingdom hearts at some point will probably be rated M mature I mean, Disney I mean Disney owns 20th century Fox and the other They should put Family Guy in it.
It IS easy to follow!!!!! Kid's home planet is destroyed by his rival/best friend who wants to leave the ordinary island life behind to go explore the rest of the multiverse. The duo's other best friend's soul/heart hides for safety in the main kid who gets a key shaped sword. He meets Donald and Goofy then the trio go into Disney movies and he locks each planet so monsters can't destroy them like his home was destroyed. Meanwhile, the bestie teams up with Maleficent and her buddies who are kidnapping Disney princesses (and Alice). Both main kid and bestie want to save the friend whose body is in a coma and soul/heart inside main kid's heart/soul, but can't agree on how to save her. A bad guy takes control over rival's body, main kid gives comatose friend's heart/soul back thus waking her up, and she turns him back into a human (the process to give her soul/heart back turned him into a monster). She gets taken home, bestie/rival finds himself in the basement of a castle, and main kid alongside Donald and Goofy enter the castle's first floor. Trio goes up all 13 floors, but go to sleep for a year and forget their whole adventure in the castle. Rival/bestie goes through the 13 floors and learns to accept his flaws without wallowing, a memory-manipulating kid and Mickey helping him. During the year that main kid & Donald & Goofy are asleep, main kid's technically twin technically son (he came to existence when main kid turned into a monster) hangs out with a cult before quitting at the end because he's angry at his main buddy in the cult always keeping secrets from him. His other main buddy killed herself to help main kid (Sora) get his memories back. All the cult members are killed in castle and a year later one by one, but come back to life when it's all over. The old man who gave the rival/bestie idea to destroy his home in the first place recruits them all into an evil team which on a mountanoius desert fights main kid, his two besties, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, and a few other friends who had been the old man's victims 11-12 years ago. The old man and his team die, but main kid dies in the process of saving his friends' lives. The end.
Kingdom Hearts was such a fun crossover between Disney and Final Fantasy. I think games that came after 2 were necessary, allowing us to see where certain characters came from, such as Xehanort, the Lingering Will, etc.
Imagine me, a player who just started playing KH3 with ZERO prior knowledge of these games and thinking I could come to YT to get an understanding via a Timeline video.... NOPE 😂
I don't even think the kingdom hearts timeline is complicated to understand lol its just a lot to take in. There are more complicated series with hard-to-understand timelines than kingdom hearts.
It's not that hard to explain but it is extremely nonsensical with the losing his heart being one guy and the body being another guy and the shadow being another guy and xehahort and xenatort and xeogort or whatever its all pretty dumb and convoluted. The first game's premise was great they should have built on that instead of going on an acid trip.
Kingdom Hearts is basically its own cinematic universe before the MCU was even a thing but for video games. It introduced "optional" storylines that were not the big event games before MCU did tv shows XD
From what I seen they are going to end sora story so they can make new kingdom heart games so it's friendly to newcomers also going to answer what sora asked in the first game "what if any of this isnt real" i may be wrong so go easy on me 😅
I thought the KH story from 1 - 2 were great and weren’t all that confusing. I’m including Chain of Memories in that. I didn’t mind 358/2 Days and Birth by Sleep’s backstory. But once all the other games started adding time travel and different versions of Xehanort, I clocked out
I think that 1 thing that's on everyone's mind's is will we ever find out who the master of masters really is? There are a lot of fan theories to who is.
I will agree it's not hard to follow, the only reason people get messed up is because the games are across so many platforms. If everything had just been on Playstation from the jump it'd be alot clearer to most but most haven't played all the games
LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH!!!! But the wait for news about KINGDOM HEARTS MISSING LINK in particular is driving me nuts! Especially when 2 other countries got the chance to play several beta tests for Android and iOS. I’d rather want my own experience than watching RU-vidrs play it. Plus the question remains, will it disappear into thin air once the storyline is fully told, just like KHUx and Dark Road, or will it remain like Pokémon Go? Oh and yeah the wait for ANY morsel of KINGDOM HEARTS 4 News drives me crazy too. If there’s still NOTHING by 13th July (13 Darknesses, 7 Guardians of Light) then idk when some news will pop up.
best video game franchise ever. The more you play through it the easier it is to understand. Every game had its purpose in the overall story. Only complaint is the lack of FF characters in KH3
I don't think it's too complicated to follow Worst part of being a long time fan wasn't the story it was getting all the games across multiple platforms
I thought this game ended after KH2. I didn’t pay much attention to this series so I was shocked when I picked up KH3 and saw all these new characters I didn’t recognize.
Idc if some players will find KH confusing or that the story has expanded too much. We started thinking that it was Only a FF and Disney crossover, and it grow to be more than that. If you really put your mind to it, KH it’s the best video game-anime on a console. More crazy thing is, you have to master different ways of playing in order to keep up the story, or at least enjoy it. I can’t wait to see how this ends, but also I want more games of KH
Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, Stay Gold In the end , Truth. In the end, Love. In the end, Crash
And there’s a reason why we like the series as a trilogy of just 3 games, except 2 of them were on PS2, while the one between them is only for GBA. Before 358/2 Days came, which was the beginning of how confusing the series would be.
Five Nights at Freddy's and Kingdom Hearts gave me two nickels for each time a universe that involves cartoony mascot characters has a convoluted mostly bittersweet storyline where everything connects back together and it involves people's souls, spirits, hearts, etc. being brought back inevitably in some way.
The Kingdom Hearts story may attract much derision, but I thrive off this shit. I love stories that just keep escalating: more characters, more factions, more schemes upon schemes that all collide and intertwine together in complex but thrilling and shocking threads providing super intriguing mysteries and mind blowing twists.
I personally would’ve enjoyed the Kingdom Hearts 3 story more if s.e. kept more under wraps. And don’t get me started on that Anti Aqua reveal. That was a controversy that could’ve been avoided.
SPOILER COMMENT:I adore this series and firmly believe a "Yes and..." kind of approach to following the story to be the best way to enjoy it. By that I mean, when something ridiculous happens, like Ventus shows up in Union Cross, it is more than fair to say, "Huh, weird" and move on.
I have played Kh 1,2,3 chain of memories and the 2 ds games and still get confused all the time. The nobodys and heartless stuff still confuses me and i dont get it
I never liked the KH story honestly. The first game had a very simple premise, but when they started to talk about Xehanort's numerous versions, and the organization this and the new seven hearts that. Too complicated!
i played them all over this year first time and if you play them in order in the collection its not so hard. its just a lot to remember and i got to admit i got confused a lot and playing so long rpgs back to back is really tiresome
@@Milla4life2 Dude, I LOVE Kingdom Hearts. Perhaps you have forgotten. In Kingdom Hearts 3, Larxene mentioned that she was looking for the new princesses of heart since the original seven completed their goal the first time. She believed Elsa to be one of them. However, the organization was stupid. The new seven hearts were not princesses at all. Instead, the new 7 were the 7 Guardians of Light. Badabing badaboom!
I learned before this game of Square's story-telling mastery (and muddling) Final Fantasy VI, VII, Xenogears....damn Xenogears, Trigger and Cross.....I could go on. Now granted those are one-off's....most of them.....but the depth of their story is what is the prelude to a series now spanning 20+ years. It is the easiest mess of a story to follow along with. Providing you have played all of the games. I have minus the mobile BS. (Just watch folks do that one RU-vid. Saves time)
I am commenting this before watching a moment of the video. I like watchMojo but I’m super skeptical that they have a big enough super fan of KH to get the whole story right. I will come back to this comment with an update to call out either myself for being wrong or the video 😂
12:08 *sigh* did not know how to pronounce multiple names of the organization. Since he said “not going to bother” I don’t think he played chain of memories. I imagine this was a script prepared for a non fan
13:56 blew past the mid point of KH2, quite possibly the earliest pivotal point of the LH story in release order. Yes he covered much of it since we’re going timeline chronological, but Sora and the gang finding out about Xehanort and Ansem SOD and Ansem the wise is not an acceptable thing to blow past in any KH plot summary imo. Also the script is now almost certainly not written by a fan either. Likely pulled from online summaries found by non fans
17:14 narrator is appropriately self-roasting about his thoroughness. I’d say this script was created and read by people with no more than a passing familiarity with the games (if that) but they never claim to be experts so that’s good. I would say anyone planning to play the games, there are better summaries that are more accurate and not even longer than this video. My initial claim was true but at least WM was upfront about not being experts. Though I’d prefer if they’d worded their intro as “we’re iust reading a script compiled of online summaries and are not first hand familiar with the story or games” as that much is pretty apparent, tho they didn’t get anything wrong plot wise that I could tell
KH gameplay is so good, but my god the story is a convoluted Taco Tuesday shit, where tf did the Nobodies came from! jfc, Xenahort? Terahort? Teraxehort? Voldemort is so hard right now with the 12 Horcruxes-like this guy did
Yeah, the unfortunate reality is, this game series makes no fucking sense. SE tried to seal the holes of the sinking ship, but it didn't work. Would've been a phenomenal series, had they released games and stories that were in chronological order, instead of this mishmash bullshit they're trying to piece together presently. You have to admit, the game series is pretty fucked up, if people have to come to YT just to understand WTF is going on. Honestly.
If there needs to be a video about explaining the story, it already says a lot. The story has been dragged too much for no reason. In order to take it all in you had to wait a long time for the newest game and to play it on a different platform. And while the new game explained some of the story it also created even more confusion. Multiple Xehanorts threw me off and eventually all this killed my interest in the game that I used to love.
My hope for Kingdom Hearts 4 is that Sora and Kairi’s relationship moves even further as there are signs throughout the franchise that their bond is much more mutual as of ‘their love for each other’. Also, Disney and Square Enix should give Kairi more character development, and give her back ‘the Princess of hearts’ entitlement as we have seen in KH 1.
15:27 This moment made me raging when i first heard about it. I thought recoded is the most stupid plot ive ever played but no.I mean HOW STUPID AND CRAZY IS THIS PLOT
After KH recoded i lost it. it was just nonsense at this point. bro a digital version of a journal that looks like riku and is developing its own personality and a digital sora doing the same. Thats just bullshit
Kingdom hearts movie in works and Kingdom hearts game series never stopped go they're making more games series kingdom hearts 4 come out next year and FF 7 part 3 come out 2027 and later spin off games and movie coming out next year
I like Kingdom Hearts but afterwards it got confusing, annoying, & a bit boring. If they bring back some Disney Worlds to Kingdom Hearts 4 that would be great but make it with their own original story in the game. It got a little tiresome visiting the same worlds and following the story from the movies.
