Thank you guys so much for 70K views this video did so much better then i thought, if you like what I do please considering supporting me on Patreon, ill be posting some stuff there for free as well so check it out www.patreon.com/mzmz389/posts
fun fact. for retroachievements a page with fan made cheevos. u need to patch ur rom. so u cant cheese with peter pan :D fun fact. i dunno if u got this : in kh1 the voice talking to you isnt roxas. nor ventus. altho fans think that. no its mickey. the japanese guide says its mickey. and his chat is very mickey like. this was because disney only allowed a few seconds of screentime. so square put mickey as the tutorial helper of sorts. and the reason roxas can dual wield is because of his and ventus heart wakening up. after sora wakes. he gets this power to from the upgraded outfit.
411 for those who don't know: Disney channel originally exclusively showed Disney content, so even commercials were only ads for Disney products, 411 is their version of entertainment news. It would play as an ad break between shows
i figured this out a month ago because i have a kh2 poster (it's like a large sheet? like a thin blanket? but i put it on my wall) up in my room of ALL of the kh2 keyblades and i literally started counting the mushrooms on that keyblade for no reason and had the biggest brain moment ever, glad someone else knows and i didn't just miscount and think that i was clever
i think the concept art versions of roxas and twilight town are really interesting, like they were gonna go for more of a high-fantasy theme, but i think going with the "normal modern day kids in a normal modern day city" theme to contrast all the crazy magical fantasy of kingdom hearts was a really impactful choice
Fun fact about the Roxas fight (both normal and Data Roxas): If you steal his keyblades and then get him to the edge of the arena, you can infinitely chip his HP down by spamming Quick Run perpendicular to the edge of the arena. You can't kill him with this since you have to use magic or a finisher for that, but it makes a lot of the fight very trivial.
It is a tried and true cheese for Roxas, my ass always slightly moves the stick and get wrecked. I honestly am 50 50 on cheese wins vs just chipping my way through naturally fighting
i only found this out myself last year on a new playthrough because the timing happened to work out that i needed to turn off the game as i reached that point. i went off to save but on my way through the alley noticed Seifer there. most people probably go through the whole struggle bit in one go that's why its missed
Thank you for highlighting the "Donald freezes himself" bit. Every time I replay KH2 I feel like I'm going insane because I expect it and it never happens. Now I know where I saw it!!
@@nerdychocobo Its a remaster not a remake so all they had to do was touch up the game a little. Its more intentional than that. But again the end of the day it doesn’t really matter its just one of those details that separates Roxas from Ventus.
@@themiragerecords You say that, but like, KH1 had to be rebuilt using a bunch of other assets because the original assets were lost in disasters, its reasonable that some KH2 assets were also lost, and you can't "touch up" audio using old relatively crusty audio, if they lost the original recordings they could have been up a creek
One of the more interesting things in the manga is that when Sora meets Scrooge for the first time, Jiminy is telling him that Scrooge and Mickey traveled the worlds together with a gummi ship before the worlds got attacked by the Heartless. Always sounded like a great idea for a spin-off to me.
26:49 they also removed Kairi's panties and replaced them with a black void, all the enemies in Port Royal that have guns instead have crossbows, and the crosshair on Xigbar's sniper scope was changed to a less realistic and more sci-fi looking one for the international release.
Another thing about the struggle fights w/ Sora - it's impossible to 100% the jiminy journal without getting to the final tier to fight Setzer. I was stumped for so long trying to clear Twilight Town because of it lmao
Also a personal side note, but if you use enough magnet spells during the 1000 heartless fight (usually 2 in a row) and then look at the ground in first person, you'll speed up the fight a ton because it'll pull in and instantly beat any nearby heartless. Somehow, doing that in first person speeds up how quickly the heartless gather around you. And with enough damage from magnet, you'll instantly beat whatever is grabbed and it'll just pull another nearby heartless in. In fact, this is what made the level grind in Pride Lands peak so trivial on the original version. And if you are playing on a KH2 randomizer, you can even have Magnera or Magnega on some seeds, so it'll just be that much more powerful in the 1000 heartless fight. Only thing holding you back is your MP... it does take a lot of it to do this.
Oh yeah! I have a play arts roxas! I got it secondhand for like 5 dollars.. the keychain of the keyblade was gone and he didnt have the sea salt ice cream, still an amazing find overall! And right when i was getting into kingdom hearts
The only way I have lost to Seifer was through a randomizer. It randomized his ATK. And he oneshotted me. Im going to be honest, it was at that point that I found out the losing scene with Seifer. Which I didn't even know existed. And I was actually pleasantly surprised XD
fun fact about Timeless River, the main hub is indeed based on Steamboat Willie, but the lil areas inside are based on other old Mickey Mouse shorts, the burning building is based on 2 firefighting Mickey shorts, the giant level is based on Mickey Gulliver's Travels, the scaffolding is based on the construction short where Pete tries to get flirty with Minnie without consent, and the house level is indeed Mickey's home but of a specific short since it features a Christmas tree in it, it's based on the Christmas short where Mickey and Minnie adopt kittens, I found some archives containing these shorts on Internet Archive including Plane Crazy the true first Mickey short that released the same year as Steamboat Willie
I lost to Seifer in purpose just to see what would have happened if Roxas loses, it was a shock that there was a different cutscene, same thing applies to Setzer, i lost to him on purpose and obtained the ring for +1 attack, this comes quite handy for a level 1 run since you can't level up. This trivia in unralated to kh2 but back in 2002 Disney of Italy published a one issue only magazine as an informative guide to the game and an exclusive comic story in wich Sora and Riku travel to the world of Hunchback of Notre Dame (way before DDD) and even the world of The Sword in the stone
Every video like this says the Final Form is only obtainable after the Roxas fight, but the first time I played the game, the first PS2 version, I've unlocked it at Old Mansion's Library, before discovering how to even enter The World That Never Was.

When you’re in idle areas with the characters roam around, they’ll occasionally stop and chat with each other. You can find instructions on how to level up each drive form in the status menu, selecting the form, and selecting the part with your earned exp. The blurb is at the bottom of the screen. You can go into first person at any point while controlling the boys, even in combat. Beat Hayner ten times as Sora to unlock bouts with Setzer. Ten wins against him lets you fight Seifer again. There’s no physical reward for this but it’s in the journal.
@@LinkinMark1994 yes because 411 was the number you dialed to get phone numbers to businesses. Because it was known as the information hot line. Hence why it became slang to describe getting information on something.
17:01 oh my good god this trailer is so nostalgic for me. I watched it like every day. The theories you’d cook up pouring over all the details you can point out then running to the forums to commingle your ideas with others just as obsessed. I remember seeing his aerial recovery for the first time and was in shock.
I swear, nothing comes close to the hype you used to get back in the early 2000s, watching the same trailer over and over again. Trying to will yourself to see new details that you may have missed the first 400 watches.
Losing to Seifer is actually the speed strat for Speedruns since the medal you get for losing is better than the one you get for winning (it’s also just faster to die to Seifer) Edit: Disney 411 was basically as you said, just their little game announcement block/ promotion slot during regular air times. It wasn’t the only one they had, they did have 2 other promo slots I can’t really remember. I know for sure one was Disney 365. But that might have been the block during commercials that advocated for healthier lifestyles and habits for people and the planet.
365 was like 411, i vividly remember them announcing Spectrobes on it it's funny because i never liked most showa on the channel as a kid, but we has it on one day and that commercial grabbed me immediately.
My comment about the Chain Rave command on the last video got brought up here hell yeah, another kickass video man! KH fans are dying for content right now so hoping this vid blows up too!
the detection weapons seem to be named as such because they were used for testing hit detection. makes the most sense considering their low strength and, in sora's case, long reach
also fun fact, Did you know the reason soras wisdom forms gloves are black? the gloves were black because they wanted the yellow contrast. the yellow bands represent the masteryof thunder, the blue fire represents the mastery of fire AND wins with the reverberation effect on the flames this is all to show the ability to use homing blizzard. this IS a homage to chain of memories where to get homing blizzard you had to combine Fire Blizzard AND wind to get it. where thunder was kind of the outlayer which is why its on the gloves. another link to chain of memories, and shows that his forms actually reflect both is known memories and those he lost.
Did you know in the original Kingdom Hearts 2, if you're in valor form and get on a skateboard, the skateboard hits actually count towards hits on valor form exp? Considering the really low damage it does and how fast skateboard moves , it can be a quick way to level it up.
Crazy that they changed small things that was interesting in the original one on final mix.i miss fighting all the Rapid Thruster on the pride rock in the original version.
Something I noticed but haven't ever seen anyone mention, anti-form's moveset bears some suspicious similarities to Final Form, with a few attacks simply being the same.
3:07 stfu, there is no way in hell that is what that hitbox was for. I have wondered about that everyplay through since elementary school. That and there is a 'hook/anchor thing in kh2 in the pirates world. It has a marker and you can hit it and a combo swings it around the room its in. I always thought it was a secret, though it probably was just for regular combat
I remember reading a comment on a video that said that there was an article saying that there was indeed a change to the Forzen World's story at the last minute in KH3 but the reason was apparently because something with Elsa in that early story counterdicted something in Frozen 2, though it wasn't elaborated as to what it was. When I asked though he said he didn't remember where he found it. I am curious about it and wonder what it said.
Man, ever since I learned about the scrapped Dark City boss forms I've been low key obsessed with them. I really hope we see some form of it come back in future games. The idea of the entire city itself being weaponized and anthropromorphized to take down Sora is metal as fuck. Maybe we'll get that out of Quadratum.
In the vanilla NTSC-J release of KH2, Trinity Limit was broken. More broken than balloon in DDD. KH2FM - In your first visit to TWTNW, just before fighting Roxas, you'll be in an area filled with shadows. I use the area to grind Wisdom form in late game. The cool thing about that area is, once you are about to hit 0 on your drive gauge go back to the warp/save area and your drive gauge will be completely restored. Lingering Will - This beast of a boss can use blizzaga barrage and magnega on you. Casting blizzard on the pirates, including Barbossa can freeze them. This is super helpful during the Barbossa boss battle in Critical mode. Atlantica, Pride Lands, 100 Acre Woods and Olympus Colloseum part 2 are skippable. You don't have to complete the keyholes there to finish the game.
16:38 okay but can we really say it doesnt seem like it would be fun when we all know it would really just be a whole bunch of spinny moves of death while we press x and square until things are dead?
things like the saix infinite stunlock is well known thanks to the speedeunners ninten, spikevegeta or jhobz since they did that for the randomizers as well the rc against sark is kinda common since you dont need to force it. it happens to me very frequently every playthrough. the rest is kinda neat to know, keep it up ❤
In Kh1 Atlantica, there is a secret room under the main room in the sunken ship. In Proud Family, there was an episode with a Kingdom Hearts Easter-egg.
i didn't know about seifer, but on 1 of my many replays of kh2 i went threw the effort to lose to setzer witch is way harder than fighting him and he just gives you the trophy when he wins
Kh2 mushroom mini game at the mysterious tower is SO HARD lmao. Kh3 mini games are very dumb easy lmao. But i still love it. But for some reason kh1 sephirioth seems harder than kh2. But what i like is that each kh number title has number of swords in the ultima. Kh2 has 2 swords in the ultima. Kh3 has 3 swords in the ultima. Sora in super smash bros wisdom outfit is his ddd outfit colored as wisdom form. Which is pretty unique. Sora kh1 outfit is based on the bouncer outfit. But my honest opinion i like kh3 gameplay more than kh2 in my opinion. Also that drive form. Its a early versiom of final form. Also those scenes from the old trailer, it was confirmed that the old hollow bastion was supposed to be in kh2. But they changed it. Also you probably haven't played kh3 yet. Monsters inc and toy story is a world in kh3. 😊 And the 5 missing org members are in kh rechain. And also i personally don't play games for crit. I finsihed kh2 and 3 crit but they are hard lol. And the lingering will is terra btw. And also the voicelines for roxas was changed to be like ventus. Did you forgot the side titles? Plus no one wants a live action kh movie
Dayam I just checked to be sure I watched part 1, I did, 84,000 views and you have less than 1k subs that’s some amazing stuff. Happy to be sub 797. Here’s to you. :D
Great video! A lot of new and old information, but all is welcome! Always love me some Kingdom Hearts 2 content. It is also one of my favorite games. ^^
A European titbit regarding KH2 is that the vanilla version was dubbed but the final mix only used English audio. After that no other KH game has been dubbed again. In Spain, Sora has the same voice actor as Ash from Pokémon so it was quite amusing lol.
People be saying 1 is the best but that’s nostalgia talking imo. 2 was so good back then. When I saw the all black fit, that your fit changes depending on what form you took, the silver cover box with Kairi back to back with Sora, just everything about 2 was a step up from 1. I pulled an all nighter for that game and that was one of the best memories of playing games as a kid I had. Sanctuary was the cherry on top. I liked that song more than simple and clean at the time not even gonna lie 😂
Avid KH2 Fan here; gonna be that guy and list some corrections namely towards the gameplay here lol 4:23: The command menu was *not* a new addition to KH2FM as it was present in KH2 OG to begin with. 4:36: This is more-so a half correction... These drawings aren't meant to be just references to KH1; they're intended to show Sora's memories that Namine had to draw to restore his broken memories due to the events of Chain of Memories. 5:56: So this is a neat one; in OG KH2 Wisdom Sora's gloves were in fact black which is consistent with the promo art. However in the original KH2 Final Mix, they enhanced ALL the forms to look smoother and more detailed, in addition to also making Wisdom Sora's gloves more in line with Wisdom Form as a whole. This wasn't a change done in 2.5 or any other rereleases. 6:53: Lion Sora's "Drill Finisher" is *NOT* a finisher. You can literally use it after one successful attack in midair. I believe the reason you may have thought it was a finisher is due to Lion Sora naturally having +1 ground and Air Combo+. In addition to any others you may have.
I think the main reason the Dream Sword -> Ultima Weapon thing isn't on any of the wikis because of just how much they changed the design in the transition, to the point where I still don't really feel you can call the two the same. The shape of the blade is almost entirely different, as is the guard, even discounting the keyblade specific full guard shenanigans and filigree and whatnot. They just...aren't that similar beyond a couple design elements in the latter that call back to the former.
TRON 2.0 on consoles is tough as nails particularly if you're not used to first person shooters, the GBA game is a lot more accessible and has fully voiced cutscenes and even 3D battle arenas - one of the most ambitious GBA games out there!
As someone that grew up playing kingdom hearts and watching disney, and watching that exact disney 411 ad about kingdom hearts 2, I can safely say I have no information on disney 411 except it’s about upcoming disney stuff, but the only one I remember and the only one that ever mattered before and after wars the KH2 disney411
Little side note but I didn't find this until I played critical mode. The first time you get to hollow bastion in kh2 when you fight the nobodies with Leon, there's actually a chance Leon can get knocked out and sora can go over and press triangle to wake him up. Pretty cool and I had no idea until critical mode pressured the hell out of that man lol.
I believe Disney 411 was like a quick commercial break length news segment. I could be wrong, but I do have vague memories, I used to watch Disney so much
I think the "Darth Maul" concept art is actually a mockup of Wisdom Form's idle animation with two keyblades instead of one, although with how his moveset would pan out it would make sense to axe one of them.
In the original KH2 on PS2 the sleeves on some of the drive forms were bugged and are replaced with the Final Form sleeves, I think its the Wisdom and Master forms but I could be wrong.

also fun fact, Did you know the reason soras wisdom forms gloves are black? the gloves were black because they wanted the yellow contrast. the yellow bands represent the masteryof thunder, the blue fire represents the mastery of fire AND wins with the reverberation effect on the flames this is all to show the ability to use homing blizzard. this IS a homage to chain of memories where to get homing blizzard you had to combine Fire Blizzard AND wind to get it. where thunder was kind of the outlayer which is why its on the gloves. another link to chain of memories, and shows that his forms actually reflect both is known memories and those he lost.
The Anti Form’s glide is supposed to be used Mid Combo
It turns your attack into a homing move that surrounds Sora in dark aura.
"All things considered...it's not that expensive."
Felt that one, honestly happy for ya that you bought that.
Did you know in the original Kingdom Hearts 2, if you're in valor form and get on a skateboard, the skateboard hits actually count towards hits on valor form exp? Considering the really low damage it does and how fast skateboard moves , it can be a quick way to level it up.
Crazy that they changed small things that was interesting in the original one on final mix.i miss fighting all the Rapid Thruster on the pride rock in the original version.
also 411 was a "news" thing that disney did that included but was not limited to upcoming movies, actors events, and stuff like that
The bouncer is Soras dad 😂
Can't believe Daisy was originally giving Donald backshots in front of his friends. Minnie is just used to it.
Bro there are some BOMBS in this video, and I am not unseasoned in relation to KH lore
Been waiting for this!! 🤩
Its finally here! I never knew that you could lock on to worlds when your on the world map.
it's amazing that seemingly simple and clean worlds have so much little details
its very rare i see a KH secrets or facts you didnt know type of video and i didnt know all of them, well done
4:20~ that comand menu is in the original KH2 also not just the final mix
Something I noticed but haven't ever seen anyone mention, anti-form's moveset bears some suspicious similarities to Final Form, with a few attacks simply being the same.
Some of the trailers were created specifically for investors, without showing them actual WIP stuff because money people don't see WIP as progress.
3:07 stfu, there is no way in hell that is what that hitbox was for. I have wondered about that everyplay through since elementary school. That and there is a 'hook/anchor thing in kh2 in the pirates world. It has a marker and you can hit it and a combo swings it around the room its in. I always thought it was a secret, though it probably was just for regular combat
During that 411 event there is a massive spoiler when sora talks to ansem riku lmao
The way u just pulled disney 411 / 365 from the depeest crevices of my memories.
It's kinda funny looking at the final form Sora figure and comparing it modern Play Arts figures, I'm kinda surprised they haven't made a newer one
I remember reading a comment on a video that said that there was an article saying that there was indeed a change to the Forzen World's story at the last minute in KH3 but the reason was apparently because something with Elsa in that early story counterdicted something in Frozen 2, though it wasn't elaborated as to what it was. When I asked though he said he didn't remember where he found it. I am curious about it and wonder what it said.
Man, ever since I learned about the scrapped Dark City boss forms I've been low key obsessed with them. I really hope we see some form of it come back in future games. The idea of the entire city itself being weaponized and anthropromorphized to take down Sora is metal as fuck. Maybe we'll get that out of Quadratum.
namine's sanctuary where her fears and lies melt away
Disney channels "411" was a infotainment type short. Using the slang term "4 one one" like "What's the 411? as in "whats the latest info?"
In the vanilla NTSC-J release of KH2, Trinity Limit was broken. More broken than balloon in DDD.
KH2FM - In your first visit to TWTNW, just before fighting Roxas, you'll be in an area filled with shadows. I use the area to grind Wisdom form in late game. The cool thing about that area is, once you are about to hit 0 on your drive gauge go back to the warp/save area and your drive gauge will be completely restored.
Lingering Will - This beast of a boss can use blizzaga barrage and magnega on you.
Casting blizzard on the pirates, including Barbossa can freeze them. This is super helpful during the Barbossa boss battle in Critical mode.
Atlantica, Pride Lands, 100 Acre Woods and Olympus Colloseum part 2 are skippable. You don't have to complete the keyholes there to finish the game.
I think it's insane you only have 1.33k subs as of watching this, absolutely nuts, good quality video and good content, keep it up!
16:38 okay but can we really say it doesnt seem like it would be fun when we all know it would really just be a whole bunch of spinny moves of death while we press x and square until things are dead?
I didn't mind the swimming in the first game...
things like the saix infinite stunlock is well known thanks to the speedeunners ninten, spikevegeta or jhobz since they did that for the randomizers as well
the rc against sark is kinda common since you dont need to force it. it happens to me very frequently every playthrough.
the rest is kinda neat to know, keep it up ❤
In Kh1 Atlantica, there is a secret room under the main room in the sunken ship. In Proud Family, there was an episode with a Kingdom Hearts Easter-egg.
i didn't know about seifer, but on 1 of my many replays of kh2 i went threw the effort to lose to setzer witch is way harder than fighting him and he just gives you the trophy when he wins
Kh2 mushroom mini game at the mysterious tower is SO HARD lmao. Kh3 mini games are very dumb easy lmao. But i still love it. But for some reason kh1 sephirioth seems harder than kh2.
But what i like is that each kh number title has number of swords in the ultima. Kh2 has 2 swords in the ultima. Kh3 has 3 swords in the ultima.
Sora in super smash bros wisdom outfit is his ddd outfit colored as wisdom form. Which is pretty unique.
Sora kh1 outfit is based on the bouncer outfit.
But my honest opinion i like kh3 gameplay more than kh2 in my opinion.
Also that drive form. Its a early versiom of final form.
Also those scenes from the old trailer, it was confirmed that the old hollow bastion was supposed to be in kh2. But they changed it.
Also you probably haven't played kh3 yet. Monsters inc and toy story is a world in kh3. 😊
And the 5 missing org members are in kh rechain.
And also i personally don't play games for crit. I finsihed kh2 and 3 crit but they are hard lol. And the lingering will is terra btw.
And also the voicelines for roxas was changed to be like ventus. Did you forgot the side titles?
Plus no one wants a live action kh movie
I still have the Sora figure the original one and it’s still great
Dayam I just checked to be sure I watched part 1, I did, 84,000 views and you have less than 1k subs that’s some amazing stuff. Happy to be sub 797. Here’s to you. :D
Great video! A lot of new and old information, but all is welcome! Always love me some Kingdom Hearts 2 content. It is also one of my favorite games. ^^
A European titbit regarding KH2 is that the vanilla version was dubbed but the final mix only used English audio. After that no other KH game has been dubbed again. In Spain, Sora has the same voice actor as Ash from Pokémon so it was quite amusing lol.
People be saying 1 is the best but that’s nostalgia talking imo. 2 was so good back then. When I saw the all black fit, that your fit changes depending on what form you took, the silver cover box with Kairi back to back with Sora, just everything about 2 was a step up from 1. I pulled an all nighter for that game and that was one of the best memories of playing games as a kid I had. Sanctuary was the cherry on top. I liked that song more than simple and clean at the time not even gonna lie 😂
KH2 had Play Arts. They were a Disney Store exclusive in the US.
If you happen to have KH2 US, look in the back of the manual and I believe there should be an advertisement for the Play Arts
Avid KH2 Fan here; gonna be that guy and list some corrections namely towards the gameplay here lol
4:23: The command menu was *not* a new addition to KH2FM as it was present in KH2 OG to begin with.
4:36: This is more-so a half correction... These drawings aren't meant to be just references to KH1; they're intended to show Sora's memories that Namine had to draw to restore his broken memories due to the events of Chain of Memories.
5:56: So this is a neat one; in OG KH2 Wisdom Sora's gloves were in fact black which is consistent with the promo art. However in the original KH2 Final Mix, they enhanced ALL the forms to look smoother and more detailed, in addition to also making Wisdom Sora's gloves more in line with Wisdom Form as a whole. This wasn't a change done in 2.5 or any other rereleases.
6:53: Lion Sora's "Drill Finisher" is *NOT* a finisher. You can literally use it after one successful attack in midair. I believe the reason you may have thought it was a finisher is due to Lion Sora naturally having +1 ground and Air Combo+. In addition to any others you may have.
I think the main reason the Dream Sword -> Ultima Weapon thing isn't on any of the wikis because of just how much they changed the design in the transition, to the point where I still don't really feel you can call the two the same. The shape of the blade is almost entirely different, as is the guard, even discounting the keyblade specific full guard shenanigans and filigree and whatnot. They just...aren't that similar beyond a couple design elements in the latter that call back to the former.
TRON 2.0 on consoles is tough as nails particularly if you're not used to first person shooters, the GBA game is a lot more accessible and has fully voiced cutscenes and even 3D battle arenas - one of the most ambitious GBA games out there!
not even 5 minutes and i feel this is the equivalent of the sonic 2 bonus video of the kingdom hearts community
NICE
As someone that grew up playing kingdom hearts and watching disney, and watching that exact disney 411 ad about kingdom hearts 2, I can safely say I have no information on disney 411 except it’s about upcoming disney stuff, but the only one I remember and the only one that ever mattered before and after wars the KH2 disney411
Little side note but I didn't find this until I played critical mode. The first time you get to hollow bastion in kh2 when you fight the nobodies with Leon, there's actually a chance Leon can get knocked out and sora can go over and press triangle to wake him up. Pretty cool and I had no idea until critical mode pressured the hell out of that man lol.
I believe Disney 411 was like a quick commercial break length news segment.
I could be wrong, but I do have vague memories, I used to watch Disney so much
this video was actually very funny and informative...good job dude
6:06 that is OG design for wisdom in Kh2 OG version and the 2fm or 2.5 was retexture them
yep, a lot of fans like to act like FM is the only version or something.
A lot of the little tricks mentioned with gameplay are actually used in speedruns. Even the World Lock-on.
I think the "Darth Maul" concept art is actually a mockup of Wisdom Form's idle animation with two keyblades instead of one, although with how his moveset would pan out it would make sense to axe one of them.
In the original KH2 on PS2 the sleeves on some of the drive forms were bugged and are replaced with the Final Form sleeves, I think its the Wisdom and Master forms but I could be wrong.
Damn, he fixed his mic 😢😔👌 I was loving that old tape recorder radio sound effect you had in the first video... It's KH though so I'm Still Locked IN.
The Darth Maul Keyblade could maybe also be a reference to Ansem’s final form in the first game, when he wields a Darth Maul style sword.
Love this! Great work on this video, genuinely very in depth. Keep adding in those weird, obscure facts- That’s what caught my attention every time.
I have most of those old play arts figures, i remember getting riku at toys r us so nostalgic
"So it changes the cutscene wich is why I cover the entire fucking screen with a picture of Cypher"...
KH2 is so fucking peak, you can't spell "ignorance" without IGN.
*may or may not have lost to sipher when they were a kid button ---->
