- Kingdom Hearts 3: 5 YEARS LATER (FROM MID TO MASTERPIECE!).
It has been over five years since the release of Kingdom Hearts 3. So much has changed in the series, in the world, and in my own heart. We take a deep dive to see how much Kingdom Hearts 3 changed throughout the years.

this went from a silly compilation to making me cry,im glad to have people like you in this community speaking messages of joy and sharing their experiences
Ulgh.. pathetic & weak..
Y'all wanna hear something that'll break your brains?
2024 is further away from the announcement trailer for KH3 (2013) than the announcement trailer was from the release of KH2 (2024-2013 = 11 years; 2013-2005 = 8 years).
Owwwww. My head 😅
Is this whole comment just the title of the new game?
And when do we hear the part that breaks our brains?
Doesn't make sense like kingdom hearts, so your comment is accurate.
in 2008 right after kh2 released and was hitting day one records a kh 1 themed commercial hit my tv showing kingdom hearts 3 as the logo and made me lose my mind im betting it was a instanced issue where only a tiny amount of people might of even accidentally caught it but i did and will sing that to the end of my days
Kingdom Hearts got me through some of the loneliest moments in my life. It sucked me into its crazy narrative and took me on a magical adventure and pushed me to believe friendship was attainable to a younger me who needed to know that. It was a series that helped me discover my love for drawing and writing and inspired me creatively. It introduced me to anime and gave me an interest to play other video games out there. It’s sounds super cheesy but I don’t think I’d be who I am today without this series. I’m so grateful to it and the ppl in this community who make content for giving me so many fun memories throughout the years :3
Felt af
we finally have a video complimenting KH3 instead of crapping on it relentlessly
Fr
I've seen several videos talking about the game positively. I think most of the initial reception was just a knee jerk reaction due to years of speculation and hype. While flawed, I personally put it second place after KH2. If I wasn't biased and KH2 wasn't my favourite game of all time, KH3 would be at the top for sure.
There's positive vids out there one of the biggest is kingK vids defending it for almost 2 hours
I still hate it but at the same time I liked it since release ,like 65% hate it and 35% love it,but if I wanted to be harsher let's just say 75/25
All of these games are the same when it comes to story and writing. Kh1 was the best and all others was incoherent trash.
I enjoy all of the games, while noting why some suck and KH3 and 2 were no different to me.
I grew up with the Kingdom Hearts series being a huge part of my life. I remember after getting my first device with access to TH-cam, I began watching you in the beginning of your Kingdom Hearts 2 playthrough on the road to Kingdom Hearts 3. Coming home after school each day to watch your videos was so exciting. I continued watching until you deleted your last channel, which deeply saddened me because at that point you had become my favorite TH-camr. But when you returned as Sir Skyward I was so excited, but you seemed different, almost as if you didn't really want to be back. But now, you seem genuinely happy to be making these videos again. I'm glad you're back!
I remember playing KH3 at the same time I had an annual pass for Disneyland. I remember playing in these Disney worlds in the game then just going to Disneyland and imagining how KH could be integrated within the parks. I’m still not the biggest fan of KH3’s story, but I still have very fond memories of playing
Honestly, playing KH3 seems like the better value than Disneyland these days. Virtual, yes. But everything functions. There's a diverse array of activities, the worlds are big, and you aren't overpaying for anything.
Kh3 was just bad in general I wouldn’t say horrendous but not good
@@going2021 I agree with you. The Disney components were the only good parts of it, but even those were average. KH1 did the best with Story x Disney imo
@@bullsballa77 kh1 and kh2 are the best ones. Kh2 had really great everything but I’ll admit the story started to get more complicated in that one.
@going2021 I thought the story was fine. I'll never understand how people didn't get the story. Did you skip every game that wasn't a numbered main title?
Loved hearing from you directly. Thanks for opening up. I have been here since Road to Kingdom Hearts 3. Watching videos with your family talking in the background. I was a sophomore in high school watching you talk about preparing for college, and now I am in my second year of grad school myself. ❤

I really appreciate this video Sky! I was and still a huge fan of yours since back in the day and felt really sad when you left youtube. I'm glad to see your love for KH has come back stronger than ever and that you're able to do videos like this again! I hope to see you continue to grow into an even better content creator!
Quick little note. In KH2 critical mode you actually do more damage compared to other modes, not less.
Just want to say I appreciate you for always being honest yet cool. You were one of the few khtubers that tackled the issues in the original base game of KH3 instead of ghosting and ignoring them completely like some others. Love your content.
I want to thank my cousin for introducing this series for me, he REALLY loved this series and wanted me to get into it, sadly he took his life in 2020 and ever since I dived back into KH and falling back in love with this series, I wish he was here to see Sora come to smash, I miss you Charlie, thank you so much
Can't wait for KH4
"Oh yes you can." - Nomura, probably.
See you in another ten years LMAOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Oh damn we will be aged up old people by then.
im happy that they are taking their time, imagine getting a second kh3, i mean the release kh3
@@Dark-rt9ey I and most will agree with you on that
@@Dark-rt9ey OK I agree with that too. It doesn't seem like they will screw it up again.
Man i remember those older videos, such a great time. It's been awesome to see you develop over the years. Keep it up bro!
Great video man, I had to like it twice. I just get goosebumps knowing that someone out there shares the same feeling for the series as I do. May your heart be your guiding key!
Super grateful for you and your channel. It really brightened up my days during some hard times. Thank you
Excellent video man! I’ve been watching for years and gotta say. I’m a huge fan of your work and I’d love to see more!!! Thank you for taking us along the journey with you
*My KH story*
Kingdom hearts I was the first and last video game my father got me before he passed away. He worked his butt off to get my sister and I a ps2 and Kingdom Hearts. He was a southern cowboy type and barely knew about video games and stuff like that so it was just chance that he chose KH, or so I thought.
“Destiny is never left to chance” when I saw that quote it triggered something in me. I had a brief moment and was able to remember my fathers voice for the first time in over a decade. It wasn’t chance, he was meant to be my father and I was meant to play Kingdom Hearts. The lore around hearts, memories and love helped me deal with the grief of losing my father. My grandfather as well, as he took his own life 6 months after my father passed. I would not be alive today without this series(and Christina Aguilera, unrelated I know lol)
I've been here since the Road to KH3, and I'm so glad I've stayed. Good luck on the road ahead, we'll be there with you.
I loved walking the road to kh3 with you on your old channel and you did help me as well, I'm just glad your doing better mentally. And I'm glad your back I will be glad to stick by you till the end. Though I was a different person then literally
Glad I'm not the only one who felt a little depression after graduating college.
Never used to understand that until the world became so much bigger.
I fondly remember the road to KH3! Thanks for your time, and your renewed passion Sky. You may be using a new pair of wings these days but you're still flying high.
Glad you're doing well and have a fresh outlook. Being a part of the KH community and keeping up with you and the other X keepers has definitely helped me through some times. So thanks for what you do, and no pressure going forward lol Its important for creators to know when to focus on themselves
Damn, this got me emotional. Era 1 got me through some tough times, but I'm excited for what Era 2 brings. Much love to ya, King!
Awesome vid, Sky. So happy it's gotten so many views. I love KH, I love KHIII, and I love you. Here's to may years of SkywardWing and many more years of Kingdom Hearts.
Since KH4 was announced I have activley been replaying all of the Kingdom Hearts games. So much so that I hunted down every physical copy I can get of the original releases and not just watch the DS games as movies. I even fullfilled a life long dream of getting the original JP releases as well the original Final Mix games. Kingdom Hearts has been a huge part of my life and has taught me that friends are just as important as family, and can even be more important then family itself. I didn't have a great childhood cause of family but KH helped me through a lot of it. I owe alot to this series and the friends I have made along the way with it.
It always felt weird that I wasnt subbed to you and why you only had 30K subs, so the last part now cleared this up! Glad I found you again!! Thank you so much for being a huge part of this community man ❤
It's funny because, when kh3 came out, I wasn't really feeling it because I was fresh off kh 2.5 so i kept comparing it to that. And storywise, 2 is still superior for me. However years later I decided "let me just play KH3 as it's own game and not fast track the story and just actually play it for what it is and tbh, it's my favorite combat personally. And as a game, it's a really fun game! I actually ind myself playing 3 more than 2 because of the quality of life changes. And shoot, even the Gummi ship stages I had a blast creating ships and it was really fun! Glad to see someone sharing in that sentiment finally.
This
Agreed! 👍
Love this video man, this makes me so happy and proud!! KH3 Re:mind and it coming to pc has easily made it my favorite game to replay- gosh the mods make it so fun lol and the combat- amazing
October the 24th 2018, London comic con I cosplayed as Sora from kingdom hearts 2 for my birthday and I loved every second of it, I’ve played literally all the games and fully completed them on every difficulty, I literally grew up with it and I’ve loved how much the franchise has grown and I can’t wait for the next big game, growing up I’ve always said to myself “ my your heart be your guiding key” before it was ever in the games so to hear it being said made me cry because it felt like a part of me was in the game even though I had nothing to do with making it, I’m a fan always and forever and nothing will ever change that can’t wait for kingdom hearts 4
oh I got so emotional watching the recap of your old channel. I grew watching your “journey to KH3” because I was never able to afford the other games. It was what helped me get into KH and what kept me so excited to see KH3 too. You’re a pivotal part of my childhood so thank you 🤍
Great video, I feel the passion! Keep up the great work and motivation!
Been watched all the key keepers since that first kh3 trailer
I was 11 and now I’m 22💀, Disney ah adult
Key keepers?💙 also same age as me haha hope you are doing amazing
@@darkscoutergamer6168 X keepers my fault 🤦
@@TheEnderLord100 oh no worries,I was asking mainly what that is about? I’m a newer fan btw 💙
@@darkscoutergamer6168 they're like a group of KHtubers that used to do stuff together. TheGamersJoint, SkywardWing, and a couple other guys (I don't remember because I never was into the other 2 imo). From what I gather, they've kinda all drifted away and haven't hung out much, but I don't know much more than that lol
Always loved KH3. My daughter and I still play it together
i think my best kh memory is the final boss sequences when fighting Xemnas, like all of them from start to fin was some of the best moments ever and have left the biggest impact on me epsecially the sora and riku part at the very end. lol its almost up there with goku turning ss1 lol or ss3
also glad u back bro i always loved ya videos
Damn listening to the end i have so much respect for you. I share my love of this franchise with you.
Finally, i never though KH3 was that bad, i don't think it's the best in the series but a long way from being bad and i think that all of the terrible games that has been coming out really shined a light on how good KH3 ACTUALLY is😊
Im a mid 20 year old dude and been a hardcore fan for about 11 years now and you made me burst out crying with how beautiful you speak of the franchise. And im so happy there are so many people who share this love for the franchise or should i say "disease". Thank you so much for doing what you love and sharing it with us because in all honesty we are all like a family when it comes to Kingdom Hearts. May your heart be your guiding key SkywardWing❤
So a new fan basically try since kh1 came out
@@going2021Hardcore fan for 11 years dosnt mean i didnt play kh before that, not everyone is 35 and old enough to be a fan from the start of the franchise still love kh🤷♂️
@@Wincentuu3796 I’m joking about that lol 11 years is respectable
@@Wincentuu3796 bro I’m 27 lol and I played the game as a little kid
@@going2021 bro i also played the games when i was like 6 i grew up with them on the ps2 im just saying hardcore fan u know learning the story inside out and all that, but we both fans aint nothing wrong with that if ur point is ur a bigger fan than me then i respect that
I had a friend in elementary school that sadly I am no longer that close with introduce me into the series through talking about it constantly. He eventually convinced me to play Dream Drop Distance on the 3DS which I got on Christmas. While not my favorite game in the franchise it holds a special place in my heart because of those fond memories with him as it stayed with me and I eventually got to play through the entire series through the collections and the use of emulation for the DS titles which made me love the franchise to this day. But enough of my rambling I loved watching this video dude keep up the good work and I pray that you grow bigger and bigger. God bless ❤️🙏🏾
The ReMind DLC was just a pure loveletter to the fans. Packed with a overwhelming amount of fan-service for hardcore fans. I would say KH2 FM is my favourite too, but the ReMind DLC itself was peak Kingdom Hearts.
I was along for the ride with you sky from the beginning fam, and feel the way you do. I’m excited for KH4.
Damnit you got me at the end... Had a very similar exp. Glad you kept on trucking as well! I guess I will give remind a try. Thanks :D
Some of the most fun I’ve ever had playing kingdom hearts was playing along side you during the road to kh3. At this point I was engaged and didnt have my a kid yet. I would get home from work and play alongside your videos for a couple hours before bed and it was just like playing with my best friend who introduced me to the game when I was kid. I’m glad to see your back and doing well. Thank you for the amazing content.
Thanks for making this video. It makes me happy and I really wish I had some close friends to share my love for KH. I consider you a friend when I watch your KH videos. I loved this game since the very first commercial and I was 14 at the time (so in my mind sora and I are the same age now 😂😂😂) thanks Sky for your candidness ❤️
Kh defined my adolescence years. Now playing kh3 with my 5 year old has been so much fun. Kh1 and 2 are so important to me. Playing 3 with my kod just brought the whole thing together for me. You said kh3 is now your favorite game with that new kh3 music that just cut through me the first time i heard it. Now everytime i hear it. Kh3 is absolutely amazing and i will look back on it with great nostalgia in the future. And so will my son.
I remember watching your video of Kingdom Heart 1.5 when I was in middle school, now I am a grown adult thank you for being part of my childhood.
I remember seeing there was no critical mode and remember being extremely unleveled like being lvl 35 at the keyblade graveyard and die only once and Im not one who must have difficulty to enjoy the story but if I only die once when being extremely underlevel means something.
KH3 is my favorite KH game!
So my most vivid memory of kingdom hearts is during high school when birth by sleep came out. Before classes would start and at lunch myself and a group of friends would co-op some of the challenge levels together and exchange information on mixing attacks to create powerful variants. It was rough and exciting and I remember a couple of times we didnt hear the bell ring and a security guard would have to come get us. Apparently the amount of teamwork was inspiring to the school because we never got in trouble for it and one year our art teacher asked us to draw/paint our favorite moments from the game. They got posted in the halls and our art was super detailed 😅. Gods I miss those days
The best week of my life has to be summer of 2018. Got to spend time with my dad for a couple days, went to the first ever Smash Ultimate Invitational, but before those things, I was able to take a good friend of mine to the Kingdom Hearts Orchestra. Hearing all the amazing music, Getting a sneak peak at Toy Story's overworld and battle themes, and of course...finally getting the release date of the game a day before everyone else. Heck I even met HMK and you briefly that night. Was so dope!
Bro, just thank you for doing this video. :) Missing the KH HYPE
I remember the first time I heard about kingdom hearts, I joined the fandom quite late, but I can't imagine my life without it now, seeing that KHIII was 5 years ago already is so confusing for me, it feel too far to be real, thanks to this game I met my best friend and a group of friends that change my perspective of life and helped me grow. I even remember when I used to play union X, this game brought so many people together, and I can't see how my life would have been without all this
I haven't played in a while, a lot time even, but seeing your video reminded me somehow why I love this game, and why I always will
"Literally getting chills just thinking about it" yes.
I will absolutely NEVER forget playing 1 and 2 with my older brother. 2 is my personal favorite in the series and beating that game for the wrist time holds a special place in my heart
I feel the same way. Kingdom hearts has been there for me through the good and bad. 😊❤
When I was a young lad and first got a PS2, one of my best friends lent me his copy of KH2 and it was amazing. I remember being excited for Birth by Sleep but not being able to play it or any of the spinoffs, and then slowly forgetting about the series as the PS3 generation came and went without a mainline entry. Then a few years ago, when KH3 finally came out, I decided I'd play through the whole series to catch myself up, which unfortunately hit more than a few setbacks. But I'm back at it now and nearly through KH2, and even started streaming my silly adventure to craft the Ultima Weapon and all that fun stuff I know you guys have probably all been through too (and looking up guides is probably what got me to this channel!). I'd love to be able to chat with other fans about what I might play next, and see if anybody wants to watch me fumble my way through BBS or 3D or 359.2 Fragments or whatever else comes next!
I really used to wake up every morning and watch your videos before school. I appreciate you sm ❤️❤
Kingdom Hearts will always be my fav game series. No other series could ever touch my heart the way it did. started around 7 and sit here 29 years old still a huge fan.
Regarding the last part of your video, your road to KH3 series used to carry me thru high school all those years back lol Good times. I still remember the intro you made for that.
I wouldn't call it mid at all 😅.
There was soooo many great moments I wanted and got. The conclusions to most of these characters story was wonderful. If I was to rate it, I'd say it was 7.5/10. Remind made it even great imo. The extra story, the difficulty, new abilities, weapons, boss fights, new bit and crumbs leading to what comes next. Easily a 9/10 with Remind.
I go back and forth with either KH3R or KH2FM is my favorite 😅
I like some of the changes that have been done to improve KH3 over time, but I still think it’s the weakest of the mainline titles. The story structure has some huge pacing flaws and I’m just not a fan of how complicated the series has gotten with all the retcons.
If you love the game, I’m happy for you. I’m just personally not too happy with the direction the series has gone and this probably just isn’t for me anymore
Here's my KH Story: When I first met my best friend in high school, I learned she had a brother named Axel, and so I brought Kingdom Hearts 2 to her house the next time I came over, and let her play through the opening levels, eventually lending her the game. 16 years later, we're still best friends, and she walked down the aisle to "Dearly Beloved" when she got married last year. ♥ It's a series that is very dear to me, and it fills me with joy when I find things like this, celebrating KH3 for what it is, not tearing it down for what it isn't.
this was a great comeback vid
I was so hyped for KH3, my big issues were the same ones you had but i haven't played it since 2019. I've been on the fence on getting the dlc for a while, but watching this video now I'm going to get it when it's on sale and hope it'll be better than the vanilla version.
I remember launch of KH3, my GF and I went to a midnight release. Got in and out with steelbook and listened to music from the series together, got home, put it in the PS4 and cried a lil bit, reflecting on my life.. I was 12 when KH2 came out.. 26 when 3 dropped and I felt my inner childs joy.. it was awesome
After watching your video all the way through you are now my favourite kingdom hearts memmory the way you talk about falling out of love with it because of how kh3 was initiaɔɔy recieved i had yhat same feeling. I stopped playing games entirely qnd started to change my personality. I felt so loss but recently ive been embracing my gaming love again and life has looked a lot better thank you for this video
I started KH thanks to an artist who loves the game he had KH references plotted in all his songs, and so I looked up one of the characters he referenced, which was Roxas. I fell in love with the game 🥲🥲
I really have to thanks to kingdom hearts because it helped me pass trough a really difficult part of my life, where I didn’t knew if I was good enough at school, if I was doing enough in everything, the kingdom hearts franchise when I repicked it up I felt real good, it gave me the determination to pass trough that period of my life.
Btw great video, loved it
I'm curious. How did it help you ?
@@JabamiLainit motivated me to do better, like Sora putting so much effort in everything
KH defined a good chunk of how my brothers and I grew up. KHII was a big one for us, the memories we share of seeing things for the first time or learning small bits of lore behind the FF characters. We're just three dudes now, well into our 20's, but KH is something that has always brought us back together. A core memory of that was when my younger brother texted me one night to hang with him as he was house sitting for a friend. His PS4 was up and he was going through KHII fighting Xigbar. He was way too drunk to continue so he asked me to take over. We sat and talked about it for a bit until he passed out but it was the first good memory of us in quite a few years. Nowadays we'll occasionally get into lore talks with friends who are unfamiliar with the games and it's a lot of fun.
This was beautiful
Great video! The endless kh3 hate has really clouded some really good moments and feelings I have for this game. It wasn’t perfect but it has improved and still has my heart. Really appreciate hearing your struggles with the game and your TH-cam channel. I think a lot of us could mentally relate with that in some way.
I haven't played since it did come out and felt the same you were talking about at the beginning of the video.. while watching this I re-downloaded KH3 on my ps5 and looking forward to checking out the DLC
I'm definitely a kh fan for life. Ever since kh1 was released, I have been hooked ever since
Honestly my fondest memory of KH was getting myself put into KH3 and playing through the game as myself and not as Sora made the journey more personal. Also KH3 was the first time I actually forced myself to get good and push through the data fights and do all the optional battles. Beating Yozora for the very first time after getting pounded into the ground time and time again. KH3 is a very very special game to me now.
Waited so long for 3 it felt. I had to play through all of them again to enjoy it. I've been here since 2002.
I cried when I beat KH1 the first time
The series helped me fight homelessness, was there for my children being born.....I love this series. I was Rank #42 in KHUx. Shinryu 🤘
This game kingdom hearts 3 made my entire life dude & especially grown a lot me.
In my opinion, I enjoyed Kingdom Hearts 3 in terms of being an overall satisfying conclusion to the Dark Seeker Saga as well as being consistent with the overall story and lore of the franchise! But at the same time, there are some things I thought could’ve been better like making the coliseum accessible as well as reusing He’s a Pirate 🏴☠️ during the POTC world. But still, it was an enjoyable experience! I still give it a 7.5 out of 10 stars!
My Kingdom Hearts memory is when Kingdom Hearts 3 was less than a year away from release, everybody on Twitter was sharing trailers of the game, all excited and stuff, while there I was thinking "Man if I were a KH fan, I'd be super hype right now" and decided eff it and binged the entire series from start to finish on PS4 during the entire summer of 2018. Joined the hype train for KH3. Played it on release and loved it, a satisfying conclusion to the series that has been hyped up for over a decade. ReMind made me revisit the game, and I loved it all over again.
Same!
I mean...the base game is still fine, but I wouldn't call it a masterpiece.
Re:Mind still does a lotta heavy lifting.
I believe the point being made was all the changes over time made kh3 a masterpiece and not that it was always a masterpiece
I remember playing KH3 when it first came out. It was an okay experience, because I was thinking that I had to unlock Critical Mode being unaware that it wasn't even in the game.
When it did come out, I started a New Game, and holy moly did the game put me in my place! By the time I got done with my first visit to Twilight Town, I had died at least 60 times.
I might have continued on with it had Square Enix not made a super awesome April Fools' Day video that drew me to the juggernaut that is Final Fantasy XIV.
I did play Re:Mind when it came out and enjoyed it, but I never truly came back to KH. I think it's time I remedy that.
The great snow-mageddon polar vortex of 2019 was right over Michigan when KH3 released. I was living north of Grand Rapids, and had to drive down through the storm to get my copy. I drive white-knuckled the whole way down and back, but I got KH3 on release night!
I didn't know alot this stuff especially the story and you theres more to remind
I’m so glad I came across this video. After sinking hundreds of hours into the series, vanilla KH3 was heartbreaking. I swore off the series because I didn’t want to invest what little free time I had as an adult on a series I felt was trending downward.
I knew about critical mode but had no idea about the other dlc for the game. After watching this, I’m going to give the game another shot and hopefully find love for what I used to consider my favorite game series.
Idk what it is man but you somehow tug on my heartstrings every time.
I had a level critical 1 playthrough lined up an ready for the DLC. The data fights and yozora were fire but I'll never forgive them for making me suffer through the nort court again.
Please re-upload your Road to Kingdom Hearts 3. It was therapeutic to re-watch them
I played the first Kingdom Hearts shortly after my dad passed away. I was 12 years old and gave up on life. It sounds ridiculous, but Kingdom Hearts really saved my life. As a young kid trying to figure out how to get out of this overwhelming depression, Kingdom Hearts showed me that as long as we hold onto some form of light, darkness could never overtake us. For me that was holding on to happy memories with my dad and not letting the depression take over. I’m not saying I would’ve hurt myself without Kingdom Hearts, but who knows. This series holds such a special place in my heart and I’m glad to see it does for so many others too.
A great memory in Kingdom hearts for me was when my brother was fighting xemnas in KH2 and he would get me to help him in the lazer dome by pressing triangle as he pressed x 🤣
I enjoyed this game so much back when I first played with the exception of the Frozen world, I'm glad someone's talking about the joy this game can bring.
My fiancé and I have been together almost 14 years, and we were long distance for the first three. We’d play through kingdom hearts 2 ‘together’ on the phone, racing each other to see who could beat it quicker. We never ended up actually finishing it though together, we always moved on to something else then just restarted haha. When KH3 released we’d been in our apartment for about a year. We got it on release night, reserved spot 1 at our GameStop, and we got the special edition. I took off 3 days of work and we both stayed up nearly two days straight playing throughout it together. It was the most magical moment in my life and a true core memory.
You sold me on going back to it ngl
Hi! I'm Davide from Italy, class 1995.
I grew up with this series, I'm who I am only for that!
You are a great person, keep going!
The days when I would be stressed out just to throw on the road to kingdom hearts 3 series honestly just hits different those videos where legit therapeutic thanks for the good memories sky
Great video!!!! I share so many of the same sentiments!!!!
Also do you still feel the drive to keep making amota and nebson
By far my favorite memory regarding Kingdom Hearts was beating Lingering Will for the very first time. He was the hardest boss I had ever fought in any video game (until I clashed with Yozora), and I had grinned him for at least 7 hours of total playtime. I fought him for hours over and over again every day until I knew exactly how to counter every one of his attacks, and one night, it finally happened.
Tuesday, date unknown. I looked at my phone to check the time, 9:57pm. It was a school night and three minutes until my bedtime, and I knew that if I fought Lingering Will I likely wouldn’t last long. So I looked up at the TV screen and said, “Alright, one more time.” And with a combination of a devil-may-care attitude, good RNG, and Final Form spam out the wazoo, I finally took him down. The moment that screen froze, and the iconic finishing sound of every boss fight kicked off, I leapt from my couch and ran across the entire house, screaming about my accomplishment to my parents who begged me to quiet down and go to bed. I told *everyone* about what I just did and still have yet to live down that achievement.
honestly my favorite kingdom hearts memory has to be sora in smash. and yes i know its not a KH memory specifically but hear me out. I didnt actually get into KH until after that reveal, but seeing the hype surrounding it and just the feeling the trailer evoked from me made me so intrigued i couldnt help but play it for myself. it was such a magical moment that i even started crying a bit during the trailer even though i didnt know sora yet. the music hit a certain childhood wonder and nostalgia bone for me. and being able to look back at that moment after playing the games is such a magical experience too. overall just such an important moment in my KH journey
I have a huge backlog rn but have been wanting to do another playthru of KH3 and had no idea of all these changes. The backlog grows.....
It's nice to see love for KH3, I haven't played it yet but I'm a huge KH fan. I have the heartless and nobody symbols as tattoos on my forearms
I had a few friendships growing up that were rooted in pure speculation and excitement for what KH3 would do story wise. I even had a friend who played through a lot of them with me and the last time we hung out was beating 3. We’ve barely talked since, but I think that’s okay.
My Kingdom Hearts story started when I was 7 years old.
My parents bought me a PS2 for Christmas and a disk that had demos/trailers for games. They told me that they were unsure what games to get me, so I should play a few of the demos and tell them what games I would like. There's one trailer I would watch over and over and over; it was Kingdom Hearts. There's just something about that initial Kingdom Hearts trailer that just put me in awe. My parents ended up getting it for me after I expressed my interest in the game.
I also remember playing the demo of Jak and Dexter at this time. Jak and Dexter and Kingdom Hearts were the two first games I got!
It’s so true, kingdom hearts has the Best respectful and chilling community I’ve ever met in my life and it’s really like IN our DNA!
My wife and I are playing through KH3 now for the first time. Good to know to get the real experience we should buy Re mind. Thanks a lot
growing up with the kh series has been a high point of my life
