YOZORA - Let's Play - Kingdom Hearts 3: ReMind - 10 - Ending 

You thought you'd win?

Things that you didn't notice/encounter. 1. Sora is Japanese for 'sky' and Yozora is Japanese for 'night sky'. 2. Yozora's driver has Luxord's voice. 3. Yozora's VA, Dylan Sprouse, is a well-known Disney actor. Him and his twin brother Cole Sprouse starred in 'The Suite Life of Zack and Cody'. 4. If Yozora steals your Kupo Coin and you beat him, HE goes into the death screen and then the coin activates and he revives to half health, thus meaning you have to beat him again.

Sora: *destroys most bosses with the ultimate keyblade* Yozora: mom said it was my turn to play with the ultimate keyblade!

If you listen closely, you might realize that the guy who says "commander commander, impressive, is it not?" is the guy who voices luxord. So we know luxord and Yozora are connected, somehow. It's like this in the japanese version, too.

Finally! The battle of Haley Joel Osment and Dylan Sprouse for the best Disney actor.

I wonder why he doesn't believe Sora is the real Sora. *Looks at Darkside, Sora's Shadows, Anti-Sora, Sora's Heartless, Roxas, Xion, Roxas Doppelganger, Ventus, Vanitas, Datascape Data Sora, Sora's Heartless' Data, the countless number of Phantom Soras, and Limitcut Data Sora.* I mean it's not like Sora's got a bunch of clones running around. Real talk: There's a theory that the name the Master of Masters told Young Xehanort at the start of RE:Mind was Sora because of this scene.

Yozora: Nope Vanitas: Hey that my line! Yozora:....Nope

That moment when Nico didn't realize that: 1. VA for Yozora's driver was never credited. 2. Yozora's driver had the same voice as Luxord . 😉

It’s strange that this secret boss is the only one who’s identity is revealed before their boss fight isn’t it? Think about it, the Unknown figure in KH1, Lingering Will in KH2 and the Mysterious Figure from BBS we’re all characters we met in later games so their identities were kept hidden throughout their boss fight. But Yozora over here is the only one who actually shows their face to Sora before fighting. Though that may be untrue entirely through Yozora saying that isn’t what he really looks like. Either way, Yozora is going to end up playing an important role in the next game, either as an antagonist or maybe an anti-hero.

Yozora: *Breaks into Sora's house and steals his speakers* Sora: "DAAAAMN YOOOOU, YORUUUUZAAA!!!!!"

So in regards to Yozora's appearance, I think he's basically going through the same thing Riku did in Kingdom Hearts 2. Perhaps something happened in his world, a fight he had to win even if it meant losing his appearance (like how Riku gained Ansem's appearance to defeat Roxas). This also makes sense when we remember that the Nameless Star (which I'm pretty sure is the girl from the Verum Rex trailer) told us that his heart was replaced by another's, same way that Riku's heart was replaced by Ansem/Xehanort

Here to leave my recommendation for Kid Icarus Uprising. Also, for Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. Never giving up on that dream, no matter how unlikely.

"I've been having these weird thoughts lately. Like, is any of this for real, or not?" "None of this makes sense to me." I think this series just went full Ouroburos and devoured itself.

“Today is Friday, March 20th!” Me: looks at current date March 25th Me: *oh no*

This fight really is an extended pitch by Nomura to show off all the cool abilities his new, totally original character could have in a new game, isn't it?

I was so shocked when I heard the driver's voice? Spoilers below! Xigbar was right "The Question is, who are you, Luxord"?

Also, fun fact. You know how Yozora stole your Kupo Coin that one time? Well, if he does that, and you kill him, he revives for half his health. That's fun

1. Kingdom Hearts 2. Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories 3. Kingdom Hearts 2 4. Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep 5. Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days 6. Kingdom Hearts: Coded 7. Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance 8. Kingdom Hearts: X/Unchained X 9. Kingdom Hearts 2.8: Final Chapter Prologue 10. Kingdom Hearts: Union X 11. Kingdom Hearts 3 12. Kingdom Hearts: Dark Road 13. *K I N G D O M H E A R T S V E R S U S . X I I I*

After so many long/hard LPs, I’d recommend something shorter and more chill. I’d recommend AI: The Somnium Files or Kid Icarus: Uprising. AI: The Somnium Files is a visual novel, and so shouldn’t be too hard to play or edit. It’s a lot of fun and is by the same guy who did the Zero Escape series. KIU is a nice short game that’s really funny. Don’t worry about difficulty levels - we want you to experience the characters and story, not frustrate yourself needlessly. Also, this game has an online multiplayer mode that’s still up and running! That could make for a fun stream for playing with the Picky Penguins! I’d still recommend doing an LP of the main game though. Alternatively, you could do more HxH reactions. Still involves quite a bit of editing, but it seemed like a good way for you to take a break when you were burned out before. Or if you just need to rest a little while, that’s fine too.

It’s been a long road we’ll see you in 12 years for the next KH Game

Hey Nico thanks for the Re:Mind LP, I know it was stressful n tough for you and I don't agree on everything w/ you regarding bosses, but it was fun all the same. Now, while I do still want to recommend Trails in the Sky sometime down the line, as I really really think you'd love it if you gave it a shot, I know you need a break from longer stuff, so instead I'd really love to see AI: The Somnium Files as the next LP! It quickly became my favorite of Uchikoshi's games that I've played, and was a delight the whole way through, I really think you'll have a good time w/ it, and it'd be a lot simpler on you! Thanks again

I'd just like to point out that Nomura's salt is so powerful he actively tied Versus 13 directly into the continuity of Kingdom Hearts 3, probably so that Square now has no choice but to let him create it the way he wanted to. He is reaching Yoko Taro levels of troll hood right now.

Yazora: "I accidentally wondered into this place, and went through some trials." Obviously referring to trials of the reapers game. Yazora saying "This isn't what I really look like." Could be referencing Shiki giving up her image in TWEWY, stating that the same thing possibly ended up with him or maybe on a whim suggesting he could be Noctis' Nobody? When Yazora recognises the name Sora and says "I will save you.", theres theories roaming around saying he could be referring to the Nameless Star who in the Verum Rex world is named Sora, however what're the chances that Yazora received a mission mail stating "Go to the 104 building and Save Sora. Fail and face Erasure." The music during the scene with the bad ending is also very similar to 15's style. Do you also remember Nico, in 13 how those branded as L'cie would eventually become crystallised? Looks quite familiar right? I am really disappointed that someone spoiled the fact the was a bad ending. That honestly is frustrating since it was a brand new surprise in this series.

I agree with that other crazy guy asking for Crisis Core! Nico that is the Kind of game you would love man. If you have played the Original Final Fantasy VII You will LOVE it man. It KH but darker. Even the gameplay. Plus I dont think It will be all that hard to record either sooo... :D

"Hi" "Hi" "Who are you?" "I'm here to save you" "Ok." "By beating you up" "What." *RECONNE- An Oath to Return KINGDOM HEARTS*

If you’re not sick of JRPGs yet I’d really like to see Crisis Core in honor of the FFVII remake. Yes we all know how the game ends but the way they execute it is a sight to behold

Out of all the games I'd love to see you play Kid Icarus Uprising. Its one of the best games on the DS family and is generally greatly passed and written.

LP Recommendation time? LP Recommendation time! I would say probably Either the Professor Layton Series or Kid Icarus Uprising (Absolute classic if you ask me). The professor Layton Series is really chill visual novel adventure game hybrid along the line of Pheonix Wright but with a huge emphasis on puzzles. It's low stakes and really charming. Kid Icarus Uprising is a high octane humorous joy ride of a third person shooter with great characters and a short run time. You don't need to know anything about the Kid Icarus franchise to get into it and it would be really light on editing due to how the game works. I would have recommended Fire Emblem Echoes on 3DS but given you still have so much Three Houses left it's probably for the best that you save that for much much later. Edit: Can I just say that to an so glad that basically everyone in the comment section seems to agree on the game recommendations.

When you trigger the "bad ending" on that fight the crystal state Sora turns into is VERY VERY similar to what happens to characters (L'cie) in Final Fantasy 13 when they fail to fulfill their purpose given by the Fal'cie. That was a really cool side note from Nomura which gives even more relations to Versus XIII :D Was an mazing rollercoaster of emotions Nico. Looking forward to whatever you start next

In _an alternate_ *_Nomuraverse_* there's a _RU-vidr named_ *_NoctisB_* and his _subscribers_ are called *_Mickey (Picky) Moogles_*

Bye to Kingdom Hearts for the time being then. I've seen people saying Crisis Core as an LP, and I hope you do play it as a FF fan; shouldn't be too annoying to edit, either. Asura's Wrath is a game I've been wanting for a while and that'll definitely be short / very easy to edit as well as being just an enjoyable LP in general lol, hopefully you consider it.

Now we know what Sora would look like in Final Fantasy’s art style

I'm gonna back up the people saying Kid Icarus: Uprising, it's honestly the best action game on the 3DS in my opinion

Nico, since you seemed to miss it, the voice of the chauffeur was none other, than The Gambler of Fate Luxord. He is the tying point of kingdom hearts to Yozora's world. He is why that win ending is so groundbreaking, and he, will be the one to truly save Sora from his fate. And who i believe very strongly has been testing Sora this whole time to be sure he was up to the task of helping Yozora. I'm honestly shocked nobody else brought this up in the midst of game recommendations which Im pretty sure are pointless anyways this time since Nico said he already had his next series all planned out. Looking forward to it Nico!

I'm sure someone's already pointed it out, but the big mic drop moment for the true ending is the fact that Luxord is Yozora's driver. Remember that the very first cutscene in the entire DLC was Xigbar questioning who Luxord was, and you kind of get that answer in the Secret Episode true ending, which is the very last cutscene in the DLC. I think it's really cool how they essentially bookended it all with Luxord. It might not make for the most startling reveal ever after finally beating Yozora, but it really does help tie a bow on the DLC in my opinion.

The suite life of Sora and Yozora

Nico: "God I hate these kinda fights where you have to learn each and every single move and the tech behind it and how to react, I wanna be able to adapt and do things ***my*** way." Me: "Haha yeah I get that haha, who'd ever enjoy having to bash their head against the wall repeatedly to learn the strict dance routine that goes into such hard fights." FFXIV raid content, staring from the darkness underneath my bed, smiling contently to itself.

My recommendations: Professor Layton and the Curious Village: I've been recommending this for a while, and there's a reason. It's a fairly short charming puzzle game, with characters that I think would be up your alley. Furthermore, not only does it allow for you to then LP the rest of the series, but I also recommend playing it before the crossover with Ace Attorney. AI: The Somnium Files: I never played Zero Escape, but I still thought this game was pretty good. It definitely had quite a few flaws, but an overall good experience. I'm assuming you already have eyes on this game so I won't try to overtly convince you. Just wanted to let you know, I suppose. Yakuza 3 Remastered: This is definitely too early, but considering how different this game is to the others, I think it would be pretty interesting to see you play it and give your opinion on it, especially with the black sheep status the game has gotten in the series.

So, fun fact Nico: if Yozora takes your Kupo Coin during this fight and you beat him fair and square, he'll actually use the Kupo Coin to revive with half health! Some people I've talked to haven't had this happen to them because of the RNG, but it happened to me twice! >.< Either way, I hope you enjoyed the fight even though it sounded like you didn't by what you said at the end there. See you next LP.

If you're looking for something with less stress, definitely play AI: The Somnium Files. It's easy to play and HILARIOUS. 10/10 recommend

Definitely recommend either Paper Mario or Super Mario RPG. Both are Mario games that are a light hearted experience and a great sense of humor along with excellent music and great RPG elements.

Just watch there be a final mix release of 3 with an extended bad ending. Yozora: I will save you. *zooms out to show a TV in Toy Box.* Rex: HOORAY, I WIN!

I'm pretty sure AI: The Somnium Files is already pretty high up on your list, but I'm still gonna recommend it anyway. Plus, you could use a less time-consuming and potentially stressful game after...all this. Higurashi would also be great but if you start that, you're in it for the long haul. AI is shorter and easier to recommend.

I suggest AI: The Somnium Files as a short, not as demanding game for the interim before FFVIIR!!

I've seen other people here recommend Higurashi When They Cry and Chaos Child as new Let's Plays and I absolutely recommend these VN's as well! Both of them are incredibly well written and gripping mystery stories that are even better than Steins;Gate. You'd definitely enjoy these games. If you do decide to play them, please leave the voice acting on, because the actors vastly improve the experience, especially in the more emotional or in horror scenes.

For LP recommendations I'd say the Proffesor Layton series

yozora can steal your kupo coin. if he ever does, he will get half his hp back once he "dies"

Nomura: You thought KH3 have no Final Fantasy? Well, here's FF vs 13

Another LP is at its end, after some blood sweat and tears (kek). I hope you had fun beating these ridiculously difficult bosses and hope the future will bring you less stress. God knows you deserve it. Of course I have a few potential LP suggestions to that end. The first is the Chaos; duology, that is Chaos;Head and Chaos;Child, a set of VN of the science adventure series (the one with that Gate steiner thing). Head is chronologically first, it might be admittedly hard to get into due to an unorthodox main character but it's great in that way too. The prologue would honestly be more than enough to convince someone to read further. Child is the second one, but fairly stand alone. The influence Head has on Child is only visible once you've read Head and makes the story all the more rich. That's why there's people that would recommend Head first. Child has a great cast and setting that is great at pulling you in and giving you those smacks to the face. It gives me my cute boi protag and I love him ;-;. Both Head and Child have a mainly female cast aside from the MC (and the best friend, Itou ily) they deliver on the cute train and making your heart explode train (I speak from my own experience) and are all fairly unique. It's usually criticsed for its "basic" anime style, but I would disagree on that personally. Head is a VN from the 2000s and therefore looks "dated" while Child is a gorgeous VN with all the graphical polish you'd ever want. The second is Higurashi: When They Cry, the first VN in the When They Cry series. Saying too much about this VN might already head into spoiler territory because it is such an interwoven piece of art. I was pushed to read it by getting involved with your community (and finding some my best friends) I do not regret it. The atmosphere in the story is amazing, the characters are charming (makes you go into Kyute mode hau~) and the themes that are explored are more than worth the ride. I am currently reading the second entry in the series Umineko: WTC which is seriously amazing, and if you reading Higu means more interest for it I will shill to the ends of the ear- okay maybe not that far. I just like my kino VNs. The third is not going to be a surprise AI: The Somnium Files, lots of people already request this and that's why I won't put effort into saying what it is (makes the other suggestions stand out more *wink* *wink*)

Ah, the time has come to yet again request a let's play of The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky. Except, not this time. Nico needs a break to play a simple, easy game that doesn't require a ton of time to record and edit. As such, I recommend Higurashi. Between the chance to do some good voiceacting, the chance to wonder and theorize, and the timing of the anime remake coming sometime soon, now is a great time to do it. While I still think Nico would greatly enjoy LoH, Higurashi is the better choice to recommend now.

I totally agree that these bosses are meant to appeal to a certain type of player. And you beat every superboss, so you can chill out and enjoy your other let's plays. Enjoy your break sir, you've earned it :)

I'm kind of disappointed. I was just dying to see your reaction to Yozora not only stealing your Kupo Coin, but actually using it himself and negating your victory if you manage to beat him.

Congrats on defeating Yozora Nico. Also, I suggest AI:The Somnium Files for the next LP.

When Yozora said those lines from KH1, that symbolized a new beginning, to me at least. A new saga is starting where Sora has to help (or "save" Yozora.) I'm pretty excited, and I hope Nomura can put his ideas that he had for versus 13 in this new saga. Get ready for another decade (at least) of unanswered questions, people.

That music in the opening cutscene with Yozora is God-like, good lord! That piano had me super pulled into the scene.

Hey Nico! It was really fun watching you overcome the difficult data fights KH3 had this time around, and seeing the new story content. I hope you enjoyed it and the bosses didn't make you rage too hard. I'd like to recommend the **Chaos; duology (part of the Science Adventure series Steins;Gate hails from) and Kid Icarus Uprising for future LPs!** I know that a certain picky penguin annoyed you constantly asking for the game and I'm sorry about that. We understand that you have a lot of games to get to and we're willing to be patient. Like I've said before, Kid Icarus Uprising is a short game that would be perfect to play alongside something like AI. The controls for the most part are fine as long as you don’t play for super long sessions on the hardest difficulty (the hardest is 9.0 and the standard that is recommended and the one most people play on a first run is 2.0, major gap). They’re not nearly as bad as people make them out to be and I think you’d be fine. The cast is fantastic, very hilarious and charming and surprisingly well fleshed out, it’s a fun take on the greek myths, and it has probably one of the best and most hilarious villains in any Nintendo game I’ve seen to date. As for who that is...stay tuned. ; ) You can beat the game in about 12 parts or so I wager, the story isn’t very long at all. As for the Chaos; duology, it's comprised of Chaos;Head and Chaos;Child, C;H is the prequel to Steins;Gate, C;C being the direct sequel to C;H's story. Both are murder mystery psychological thrillers that are decently darker than Steins;Gate but just as well thought out if not more so. It keeps you on the edge of your seat worried about the cast and mystery reveals just keep hitting you one after the other, it's a wild ride. I think you'd really love the story! While you can play either first as they're both written to be stand alone, Ideally Chaos;Head should be read first because Child follows up all of the plot lines and aftermath of Head's plot, you just wouldn't realize it without the proper context. However, you should know that Chaos;Head is decently extreme in terms of how dark it is, the focus of the plot is more about the main character than the other girls of the cast (they get decent focus but not as much as say, Steins;Gates' cast did in their original game with parts of the 2nd half of the plot dedicated solely to fleshing them out), and it goes into very gritty places. But because of that focus on the MC, the immersion of the plot is very palpable and puts you in his head space very well along with the visuals, he has a great character arc of learning to open himself up to other people and be a better person, and he’s overall very entertaining with his antics/personality while in a very scary situation. It’s a very personal and emotional story for him that’s handled very maturely. Contrary to popular belief, Chaos;Head also does not have much gore that's actually shown on screen, it's mostly described so if it makes you feel queasy, you can easily just skim the text, they did this to avoid having the rating being too graphic in Japan. The story is still very well paced and thought out, and the science that it focuses on is very very interesting, and the plot keeps you guessing to the very end. Child is a bit less extreme than Head (not by much though) and also has more described gore and very little on screen gorey discretion shots. The plot improves upon everything Head does with better focus on the cast overall, and also it's also more mystery focused than psychological (the psychological parts are still there though, just not quite as prevalent). If you feel you’d rather try C;C first since it sounds more appealing from the get go, you can. Chaos;Head is about 30-40 hours long. Chaos;Child is about 50-60 hours long, but since you said you wanted a break editing wise, I think these could be really good VNs you'd enjoy sometime in the future when you're up to longer LPs again!

Crisis Core or Kid Icarus Uprising That is all

You know it's about to go down when Nico becomes Silent Nico

*It really is a Beloved Somnus.* Side note: much like his predecessor Noct, Yozora's name translates to 'Night Sky'. For other references to XV and Versus XIII: • Ultima Weapon's formshift is pretty much a note-fot-note copy of the Armiger/Royal Arms, complete with see-through blades and shields. • In the secret episode 'Yozora', when the camera pans up to the man himself, the first few notes of FFXV's theme 'Somnus' play. • Ya already saw the limo. • (Unrelated) Yozora's voiced by Dylan Sprouse, of Zack and Cody fame. Jessie McCartney (Roxas) and Alyson Stoner (Xion) were there too! • The crystallization in the bad end is also a nod to Versus XIII's original placement in the FF XIII verse, where characters turned to crystal. Tetsuya Nomura, a Man Denied His Versus XIII: *I'm making fucking Versus XIII and NO ONE CAN STOP ME-*

You're awesome Nico. Totally sympathize with how you were feeling last episode, the whole time wishing you had done this Limit Cut episode in a less formal setting over a stream or something. These fights are definitely not meant for the Let's Play routine, and I can totally understand how stressful that could be just constantly trying to get videos out. Take a long, well-deserved break from this game haha, but I honestly do hope sometime in the future you might come back to them and have fun with them over a stream or two. I have a feeling you'd enjoy them a lot more taking them on with an army of avid KH fans! Until then, hope you're staying safe and can't wait for more Kingdom Hearts stuff!

Kid Icarus. That is all.

I'd have to suggest Kid Icarus: Uprising. Great, short and sweet game.

I am now picturing a game in the future were were you play as Yozora and it's his story. Eventually there would ve dlc for the game where you see Yozora's trials that he mentioned and when he is told to save Sora. Then Sora is a secret boss where ita this fight, but Sora is the one who will beat the crap put of you. Then that game will have more games where it follows the ending where Yozora wins and the Kingdom Hearts series continues with the ending where Sora wins. That honestly sounds freaking awesome.

If I were to recommend games on the shorter side, I would say SMRPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and Kid Icarus: Uprising. The former is a classic Square RPG pre FFVII(Might be fitting build up to the remake) and is very simple and short in comparison to most RPGs, and KIU is a charming game that also shouldn't take too long to play through. I think both would make for great lets plays.

Just gonna stick this here: in FFXIII people were given focuses, vague goals basically, by their mechnial gods called Fal'cie. If they failed their focus, they would turn into unthinking monster but if they did complete it, they were given the gift of eternal life by turning in crystal. Some people think that the next instalment that all the XIII lore would be implemented in, such as etro, chaos, bhunivelze, but that is a heafty lore in itself so I doubt that KH and FF are going to converge on that scale.

I honestly belived that Nico was about to do a no damage run during that last fight against Yozora! Man that was awesome to see how you overcome this battle, congrats Nico!

Yozora is voiced by Dylan Sprouse, the actor who played Zack on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody as well its sequel The Suite Life on Deck.

This LP sure has been... Interesting to be sure. Many deaths to be sure. Going forward, I will again recommend Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. It's an RPG made by Square for the SNES in what could easily be considered their golden age. If you don't want to do that, there's also the game's successors, Paper Mario (N64) and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (GBA/3DS). Both are unique, and Mario & Luigi has a blessed soundtrack done by Yoko Shimumora herself. Also Kid Icarus: Uprising would be cool. I love that game, and you would too

THINGS YOU MISSED 1:16:29 Never thought i'd be so Sad for seeing that kupo coin being used... i wanted to see Nico's reaction to yozora using it... then again, that would be frustrating About the good ending... THAT WAS LUXORD'S VOICE ACTOR both in english and in japanese, imagine what would imply for him to call "yozora" a commander, and the whole thing of the wildcard... "who are you, luxord?"

Whenever you talk about "that one way to beat them", I just want you to watch Trueblade Seeker's "with style" videos on the data fights. He uses a massive variety of Keyblades and flashy attacks, you don't need to literally only use Ultima/Oathkeeper/Oblivion and nothing else, you can still beat them with other methods.

Everyone: "this secret boss is gonna kick your ass, Nico. They're deadass harder than Master Xehanort." Nico: *beats them quicker than Master Xehanort* "bitch please" Everyone: *Thanos impression* "impossible."

I'll just recommend AI: The Somnium Files again. This game deserves LP.

You did a really good job figuring everything that you did on your own. Not everyone does that so well. Just in case you're curious, I figured I'd give some information that it seems like you didn't figure out. First of all, every attack he does does have an opening, except maybe his phase 2 beam steal (you might be able to open him if you get caught in it, but I don't think so), though one of them is generally not worth doing. That one is the Keyblade steal. If you hit him with enough magic while he's running to you, he'll be staggered. I'm pretty sure you need to hit him multiple times, though, so it's not really worth it. The slow laser is weird. If you're close enough to him when he finishes the slow laser, he'll jump away and be open (if you don't attack him, he'll continue the red/blue lasers). There's a couple ways you can deal with it. You can air step to him and then block the slow laser, or you can dodge roll under it and then jump up to him. A bit of clarification on the pyramid attack: He's open while he's in the pyramid, but he's immune to physical attacks while in the pyramid. While you did figure out the magic thing, you can also do other things like activate a form. My typical strategy was to get a form Situation Command and then hold the activation until he does pyramid. You can knock him out of the first pyramid if you do that. On the sliding move, you can actually stop him before he even starts it. If you damage him when he appears, but before he starts the spiral, he's open. This is actually really useful on the phase 2 version of the move, which is more obnoxious to deal with I'm not sure if you noticed, but getting the opening on him off the teleport sword during his DM actually skips one part of the DM. If you don't attack him, he'll do more clones while the gravity gets turned off and there's blue lasers. But if you do hit him, he'll skip that, going right into the white room and clones into the final part of the DM. His sword slash/laser/fakeout combos that he starts during his DM are interesting. He has 3 distinct patterns. If he teleports in front of you, he's faking you out, but when he teleports to your side, he's actually attacking. The exception is on the pattern where he starts to your right, his second attack he'll immediately come in from the front and attack you. Anyway, during his DM, he'll only do one of the 3 patterns, but when he does it during phase 2, he'll always go through all 3 patterns, once each, though in a randomized order. This attack sometimes has an opening (so I guess it's another exception. Sometimes when he finishes the move, he'll do a single slow sword swipe at you, and when you block it, he'll jump back and be open. ANYWAY, I'm sorry your experience with the fight, and really the superbosses as a whole, was not as positive as it could have been. I do understand it, though. But I will say that your criticism of these fights requiring you to do one particular things and there's no room for mistakes is not true. There's a lot of cool tech and interactions you can do on these fights, still being discovered. And as for wiggle room for mistakes, there's plenty of that. The trick is that blindly trying to recover in the middle of attacks WILL get you killed. But part of the process of learning the fights isn't just learning how to block/dodge and get openings, but it's learning how and when to stabilize yourself when you do mess up. Admittedly, on some fights it's harder than others. But the opportunity is still there. I don't mean for any of this to sound like i'm trying to invalidate your opinion or anything. The fights are certainly not for everyone, and that's totally fine. It's just that that particular criticism feels kind of unfair, and coming from a place of frustration over other things

Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga (preferably GBA, but 3DS as well) Paper Mario (N64) Both pleasant games, with a sense of humor, fairly short RPGs, with action elements.

Man, it’s super satisfying seeing you slowly figure out his openings and learning the fight little by little as it goes on. I think it’s that learning curve that makes this fight one of my favorite in the series. Yozora has so many great telegraphs in his combos and they’re easy to react to (outside of that one combo where he can juke you out with teleporting). Nomura designed this boss to be possible without taking any damage, and it definitely shows. I’m sorry that you didn’t have the same opinions, but I can see where you’re coming from.

To end on a strong (or amicable at the very least) note after that last epsiode, I am so happy for you, Nico. Allowing yourself more time to digest and calmly study the boss' actions was the right call. What we got here in the end captured in a neat little video is a glimpse of the natural learning process that a regular player might (hopefully) have against these mad lads. All the while setting aside any (very real, understandable) baggage/issues that come with the job. I think that's the best thing any Let's Player can do. T'was a treat to watch. Though I may not watch every game you play (mostly because I want to preserve them for myself first yada yada), this is one of the reasons I will keep coming back to you. Stay classy my dude.

I've said this before in other videos of yours, regarding the same point you were trying to make at the end of the video. You go into these tough boss fights with the mindset of getting them done so you can move onto the next one. The content creator mentality of "I need to beat this quickly so I can post content and be done with it". A lot of people like watching you rage and struggle, but I frankly can't relate. Whenever you start raging I start skipping through the video, basically skipping the entirety of the video just to see you beat the boss and hear your thoughts and reaction. If games are affecting you to such a degree were you are getting severely drained and burned out, I'd suggest that in the future you just play these games on normal or hard. Avoid bringing stress and anxiety to yourself by being able to go through the story and give everyone your thoughts.

Fun fact: Yozora has an insignia of a crowned skull with crossed keyblades underneath on his sleeve. I have no idea what that implies but it's interesting!

Oh and nico didn't freak out that yozora's driver was FREAKING LUXORD!!!

"What a pain." Yozora's channeling his inner Himiko.

some things: yozora saying this isnt his body may pertain that his body was stolen or that he moved his heart to a different body like xigbar/luxu when yozora said he went through some trials he may have meant trying to reach the mystery girl just like in the opening cinematic of the toy box world yozora not believing that sora is who he says he is may mean that the mystery girl’s name may also be sora yozora crystalizes sora in the bad ending to protect him just like how crystals are used in ffxiii to try and preserve sora from the dangers around him btw if yozora stole your kupo coin and you killed him, he revives with half of his hp

One thing I love is that the EZ code for one hit kill, a code that is said to work on "Most enemies", works on all the data fights and Yozora.

To be fair the fans asked this for difficulty...

Fans: The Dark Inferno boss didn't quite put up a challenge. Tetsuya Nomura: Oh word son?

Nico getting beaten up by Zack until mr. moseby comes by to help him

Plz PLAY CRISIS CORE and best kh boss in all of kh in my opinion PLAY CRISIS CORE

Ah the end of an era , moving foward I dont think a long ass jrpg would do good so I'll just suggest shorts ones that I enjoyed Kid Icarus uprising and astral chain are high on my recommendations and another game would have to be asuras wrath if possible A nico reacts of an anime would be nice too I suppose

Also since it doesn't seem like you noticed, the guy who was calling out to Yozora in the Good End was very likely Luxord! You can tell by the sound of his voice and the haircut!

I love it when Nico snaps, it's like ssj2 Gohan from the cell saga

Personally, I have three recommendations for the next LP: a VN, an anime review or nothing at all. For the VN I would recommend Higurashi no naku koro ni, one of my favorite Visual Novels (and its sequel is my favorite). It's a bit long but I think you can do something similar to Fire Emblem where you divide the LP into separate parts. For the anime review, I would recommend you continue with HunterxHunter. It's really gonna pick up after the first arc and I'm interested to see your reaction. Finally, my main recommendation is that you take a break. You said that you were planning on going on vacation in April but obviously those plans need to be scrapped. In that case, I would recommend you just take some time RU-vid and relax. These games have been stressing you out and given the current state of the world, no one needs that. I think if you take a break, you'll be nice an refreshed when you come back and hopefully, that will alleviate a good amount of your burnout.

I'm going to stick to my usual suggestion for Higurashi for the game you should play next, as its a kinetic visual novel and it's in a chapter format meaning you could read one chapter and play another game in between chapters.

I think AI: The Somnium Files is something you should do next just to wind down a bit. But you should DEFINITELY check out Trails in the Sky if you haven't yet. It's such a great series with great characters and great voice acting opportunities! But whatever you do next I'm all for it!

So when I saw that this video was posted I was upset that I hadn’t managed to beat Yozora yet. I’d been practicing him for several days and I knew I couldn’t watch this video and get the story spoiled until I beat him. Well, today is my birthday. Not only did I finally beat him, but I got to watch the NicoB finale video. Best present ever! 😊🎁

Even if I don’t agree I don’t blame you for generally disliking the data fights, several hundred deaths probably just got you massive burnout so it’s probably hard to look back on it happily, and I also agree remind was to expensive. Also the theory is that guy who talks when you beat yozora is luxord

Nico if you listen very carefully to the music when sora and yozora are talking you can hear sora's theme in it

Thank you Nico for the Kingdom Hearts journey. Over the years, you've introduced me to games that I would never have given a chance otherwise, including Undertale, Persona and Fire Emblem. Your commentary makes these videos always fun and engaging. For an LP suggestion, might I suggest Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth? It is a Persona-esque game with an interesting story and a lot of over the top anime mannerisms. The battle systems can be as easy as you want it to be too, so it is a pretty light and relaxing game to help you chill after the difficulty of Re:Mind.

Professor Layton! It's super quick, fun and witty dialogue and characters. Some interesting twists and fun puzzles!

Remember when Dearly Beloved, Riku's Theme, Roxas' Theme and Lord of the Castle were some of the best songs in Kingdom Hearts? Yeah well now you cant forget about LORD OF THE CASTLE REMIX OSCURITA DI XEHANORT FORTELLER'S CASE YOZORA'S THEME TOY BOX BATTLE THEME

*Future Nomura:* "Can I copy your homework?" *Past Nomura:* "Sure, just change it so it's not too obvious."

Glad you finally beat ReMind! Yozora is probably the best boss in KH history in terms of mechanics, so tough but then so satisfying once you get through him! Wish there was more explanation but hey thats KH for ya.
