Frankie your Mother is a true OG of this Kingdom Hearts 2 journey. I had a smile creep across my face when she defeated that boss and then the icing on top of that was the way she exited the room like a true badass! Awesome!!!!!
The extended battle against Xemnas culminating in the epic 2v1 duel together with Riku ABSOLUTELY cements itself as one of the all time greatest boss battles in gaming history! Perfection!
I will never forget my first time experiencing the KH saga (so far) in the summer of last year. And when I got to Kingdom Hearts II, it just blew me away. Gameplay, story, worlds, everything about just felt like the next level. To this day, remains one of my all time favorites. Sobbed like a baby when it ended.
So, like many things, it's cleaver work around, mostly smoke and mirrors to make things look like they are working. The PS2 can't render all those enemies at once. So to get around this for the 1000 Heartless fight, all the enemies in the background are only PNGs/JPEGs. A set amount that the engine could handle would instantly turn into real enemies. As you killed more, the JPEGs would turn onto real enemies. This also works in areas where there's lots of enemies. All for the illusion of an army. Game development is both a curse and fun in this way.
I've always noticed this before back when this game came out, but now it's time to put it to words finally. Sora's hands are GINORMOUS to cover Kairi's entire back!
Ah yes, now that you've finished Kingdom Hearts Heartbreak 😢, you can begin 358/2 days of pain 😭. It was fun watching your reaction! Good luck with the next games, and bring some tissues!
Riku’s battle voice lines are super nostalgic for me. I played the final battle a lot on my old PS2 as a kid. It’s still one of my favorite boss battles of all time. The art, music and environment are amazing.
Oh wow you got the bugged (makes it super rare on all versions after playstation 2) Xemnas voiceline. During the second armored fight he says "Sora, are you certain you can trust Riku". There's another line where Xemnas tries to screw with Riku's mind as well. They're such cool lines that you pretty much never hear on ps3,ps4,xbone or pc.
25:45 that scene on the wood trunk. Top 3 of the most emotional scenes of the whole kingdom hearts series. Winnie and you my younger self, you'll always be with me.
I won't ever forget the battle against 1000 heartless... Feeling the odds against you, you put your skills and gear to the limit, you've got the amazing Final Fantasy cast that we adore fighting alongside you. It was a feeling that i wish I could experience for the first time again... One of the best moments ever in gaming for me. I can't wait to see your reaction to 358/2 Days Frankie... Spoilers... There will be LOTS OF TEARS...
This is definitely the most cinematic of the games. Everything really comes together. The story, the action, the emotion. And the mysteries too. Kingdom Hearts I is like a classic Disney animated fairy tale or a Don Bluth movie. Simple and sweet, sometimes running more on emotions than anything. Dark, and bittersweet too. Kingdom Hearts II is a Disney renaissance film. Much more polished, deeper story and characters, and a rousing climax with great emotions. Kingdom Hearts III is modern Disney for better and worse. Drop dead gorgeous visuals, stunning set pieces and still great emotion, but unfortunately a tendency to slow down too much and retread what came before (the irony that a game that got criticized for too much line for line stuff came the same year as the worst Disney remake at line for line is not lost on me).
Perfect comparison IMO, I love all of them but this is a great summary of all their vibes, they've always felt so distinct to me and I always get the urge to visit a specific game because of it.
Meanwhile the side games are Alzheimer's: A Documentary, Tron: Minus Tron, A Shakespearean Tragedy: The Game, Star Wars: The Keyblade Wars, Pokemon: Pink & Purple Edition, and Guitar Hero with Swords.
@@PikminandOatchi well the second round WASNT slow as fuck. World revisits were almost always faster then the first time, and in the revisits you are actually doing shit against the organization in the disney world UNLIKE KH3
You put words on what I feel too. The pace and storytelling in kh3 was ..bizarre ? In comparaison, It feels like all come together naturally in kh2 between the disney worlds, the evolution of Sora and the main story. In kH3 it's like they don't want to mix KH Lore and Disney as they did before, the apparition of the Organisation on these worlds were so ridiculous that even the protagonist said it
I really like Kingdom Hearts and I am really happy you are enjoying it!! I also loved that edit towards the end, and at 36:01 when you got scared by Riku-Ansem. That was so funny!
This game pulled me out of some very difficult times. I think there’s such a beauty in seeing someone enjoy something that you hold so dearly to yourself. Kingdom Hearts is a masterpiece.
One of the things that kept me coming back to the series was not only the characters and story but the MUSIC. I listened to the KH1/2 soundtrack relentlessly throughout high school when these first came out. The story is so nuts now even I have a hard time keeping up and I used to be a walking wikipedia about the series. I've also been waiting LITERALLY 20 years for a damn kiss between Sora and Kairi.
Its always wonderful to see new fans experiencing these games for the first time :) The emotional roller coaster of the story, mixed with the frustration of facing challenging encounters only to be followed by those triumphant "YES! FINALLY!" moments :) Really goes to show how magical these games are :D Will definitely have to tune into your other KH videos :)
That part where you showed scenes from your journey starting from the 1st game to the end of kh2 brought a tear to my eye tbh. Brought back so many memories from my childhood of playing these games.
Her mom is secretly a keyblade master but she had to play badly enough to not rouse suspicion, but she was still going to win that fight againts the grim reaper heartless
i'm in love with KoH, and i'm so moved that eventhough its been a lot of years, it's still reaching to people and making them feel all these love, hate, annoyingment, you are awesome and a wholesome person, thank you for these videos
love watching you react to the series! it's been hard for me to enjoy it lately since my girlfriend died, 'cause she was there with me tthe whole journey, and, Kingdom Hearts being what it is, I think you can understand why inspite of my love for it, the series make me hurt intensely too. anyway, your vids help me enjoy it once again without feeling completely alone, and cry much more meaningfull tears this time around. far more painfull, but far better at the same time. you have a new fan right here, and I thank you so much fron every fiber of my heart. and remember to always love, even when it hurts :)
Fun fact: Corey Burton played Sark, who was played by David Warner in Tron. Corey Burton based his Transformers G1 Shockwave voice off of David Warners voice. So Burton was the logical choice to voice Sark.
What a journey. I will never get tired of watching others enjoy my absolute favorite childhood games! Also, wonderful editing at the end! Loved the flashbacks.
i dont know what to say ... I found u like 2 weeks ago and i watched every Kingdom Hearts Video from you , because u went through the same Emotions i did , when i played Kingdom Hearts. And its so beautiful too see someone else experiencing the same . Your singing is also lovely
Understand Frankie, that moment you see Sora and Riku reading that message on the beach we all were mere children, now imagine not knowing what happens next after te letter in the bottle and then waiting 12 years to find out in KH3. yeah. lol.
Love for Sanctuary Orchestral Version?? In this economy?? You don't know how happy I am to see you appreciating and using it. Loved your reaction a lot, thank you for sharing it.
15:15 seeing this scene with the knowledge that Xigbar's whole thing is his ability to manipulate space (either by warping the environment, suspending things in midair, or teleporting) makes it so much funnier. Like, he could've just teleported to the other end of the hall but instead he chose to just run past them cause he knows it's funnier
reminds me of my childhood i remember playing this with my mom and my lil bro but we dont have the chance to finish it together, we never have.. anyway i loves your reaction makes me want to hug you, just hug you..
I love this compilation of your reactions because it reminds me when I was very young and I experienced this game for the first time all your feelings are feelings I had and even watching now since chills down my spine, remembering everything and it makes tears run down my eyes. Thank you for playing this game and loving it like I did once and still do, this game for my personal development as a human being it told me everything about being a good person and loving your friends and family. I don’t know where I’d be as a person.
This Video just randomly showed up on my Page and I was wondering what it was. Well I can say 3 things, I don't regret clicking on this video, I loved that part where your Mum just casually button mashed the boss to death and also I really love your reactions to the story they threw me back to when I first played the game 🤩
26:00 the winnie the pooh story gets so sad in kh3 because they do lose the bond again and because we see pooh not so often and i was watching someone else said, what if its because sora is growing up like Christopher did and no longer had pooh and that's why the connecting is weaker
I just finished my proud replay of kh2, awesome to see a first timer, welcome to the ride! Kingdom hearts is a series I wish I could play first time again.
I really got to stop seeing videos like this at work. Here I am almost crying at the office, during that ending. KH2 is the game first KH game I played. Those memories will stay with me forever.
just counted. that sephiroth fight literally lasted for a single second. i am now scared to play kh for the first time (look i know hes optional, but i just want to hear one winged angel while actually playing)
Absolutely amazing vid, the hand embrace at the end of 2 gets me every time, so much learned and sacrificed leading up to that moment, straight up gives me chills
I'm pretty sure this comment will get ignored, but I love how you sang "My Sanctuary" Plus I also cried during the end of the Winnie the Pooh storyline
Glad to watch this! Haven't been able to catch your streams the past month or so due to work and life 😅 But glad you enjoyed these games! Also the DW shirt looks good, looking forward to Crisis Core next month, been ages since i played it on PSP 💜
Follow me on the funny birb app✨
twitter.com/FrankieLollia
please play 358/2 days or birth by sleep😭
I'm sorry, but the cave drawings of Sora and Kairi sharing the Paopu Fruit looks like they are punching each other XD
54:37
When you realize your mother is the true reason of you liking games lol. I loved the "of course I won" and then stage exit :D
Ain't no way 🤣
avoid video games, cursing, cursing people, sin. focus on Jesus. Time is short. love people.
@@worm_and_no_man ughh piss off
@@worm_and_no_man I will love people and play video games. Don't need jesus for that.
Best pro gramer
16:12 In the KH2 novel, it clarifies that Sora is crying because he is so overwhelmed by emotion about finding out Riku is fine after so long.
i feel like that's obvious anyway
Where can you get this novel?
Christopher Lee does an amazing job playing Ansem the Wise, what a legendary voice
RIP
Your singing at 5:47 is beautiful!
I'll also never not laugh at Saïx going "In that case, the answer's no"
And at 43:40!
Man did Sora so dirty, lmao
She really does have a beautiful voice to match her spirit!
saïx pulled a syke
My favorite part is "Are you angry? Do you hate me?"
Frankie your Mother is a true OG of this Kingdom Hearts 2 journey. I had a smile creep across my face when she defeated that boss and then the icing on top of that was the way she exited the room like a true badass! Awesome!!!!!
Thank the TH-cam algorithm for this and you have gained a new subscriber as well. Keep up the fantastic work!
The extended battle against Xemnas culminating in the epic 2v1 duel together with Riku ABSOLUTELY cements itself as one of the all time greatest boss battles in gaming history! Perfection!
The editing for the ending at 52:09 was incredible! Love that they did this for the first and second game!
I will never forget my first time experiencing the KH saga (so far) in the summer of last year. And when I got to Kingdom Hearts II, it just blew me away. Gameplay, story, worlds, everything about just felt like the next level. To this day, remains one of my all time favorites. Sobbed like a baby when it ended.
Honestly, the fact that the huge fight from the start of the video ran on the PS2 will never cease to amaze me, it's such a technical marvel
So, like many things, it's cleaver work around, mostly smoke and mirrors to make things look like they are working.
The PS2 can't render all those enemies at once. So to get around this for the 1000 Heartless fight, all the enemies in the background are only PNGs/JPEGs. A set amount that the engine could handle would instantly turn into real enemies.
As you killed more, the JPEGs would turn onto real enemies.
This also works in areas where there's lots of enemies.
All for the illusion of an army.
Game development is both a curse and fun in this way.
You’ve just triggered my worst memory of defeating kh2 after fighting xemnas all day and then my game crashing during the cutscene lol
LMAO. Shoutout to the editor for throwing Gallagher's "Riku is.. a sexy guy." interview in there.
I've always noticed this before back when this game came out, but now it's time to put it to words finally. Sora's hands are GINORMOUS to cover Kairi's entire back!
Ah yes, now that you've finished Kingdom Hearts Heartbreak 😢, you can begin 358/2 days of pain 😭. It was fun watching your reaction! Good luck with the next games, and bring some tissues!
Birth By Sleep ain't no walk in the park on one's feels either
@@TheNightOwlKS Ah yes, Kingdom Hearts Birth By Tears💧is quite the feels-trip too.
358 days is going to destroy her
Riku’s battle voice lines are super nostalgic for me. I played the final battle a lot on my old PS2 as a kid. It’s still one of my favorite boss battles of all time. The art, music and environment are amazing.
25:17
Frankie: Hi cloud 😀
Cloud: Not Interested...
Frankie: 😨
Frankie got rejected by a video game chad...
Oh wow you got the bugged (makes it super rare on all versions after playstation 2) Xemnas voiceline. During the second armored fight he says "Sora, are you certain you can trust Riku".
There's another line where Xemnas tries to screw with Riku's mind as well. They're such cool lines that you pretty much never hear on ps3,ps4,xbone or pc.

Ah yes because the entire rpund of second visits in KH2 wasn't slow as fuck at all.
@@PikminandOatchi well the second round WASNT slow as fuck. World revisits were almost always faster then the first time, and in the revisits you are actually doing shit against the organization in the disney world UNLIKE KH3

The look on your face when your mom beat that boss, lol!
The editing of the ending really just reinforces how the series totally could've had a satisfactory ending right here.
31:00 Axel uses self-destruct! It's super effective!
One of the things that kept me coming back to the series was not only the characters and story but the MUSIC.

I’m waiting for a kiss between Sora, Kairi, AND Riku. I can’t leave any one of the three out; they just love each other so much!
"MICHOLAS THE RAT" I DID A SPIT TAKE 🤣🤣🤣🤣
6:05
Frankie: Come here coward!
Lexaeus: Bet.
Your mom‘s still a queen for swiping the floor with that boss xD
"Why does he have such a huge.... Goofy!?" underrated line to be honest.
Its always wonderful to see new fans experiencing these games for the first time :) The emotional roller coaster of the story, mixed with the frustration of facing challenging encounters only to be followed by those triumphant "YES! FINALLY!" moments :) Really goes to show how magical these games are :D Will definitely have to tune into your other KH videos :)

Sanctuary cover wheeeen?
Also, it's honestly a treat to watch you discover this series.
Her mom is secretly a keyblade master but she had to play badly enough to not rouse suspicion, but she was still going to win that fight againts the grim reaper heartless
As someone who has played this game when it first came out on the PS2, your reactions to the plot twists are just amazing XD
CHEF'S KISS
that ending montage of your kh journey was a nice touch !
i'm in love with KoH, and i'm so moved that eventhough its been a lot of years, it's still reaching to people and making them feel all these love, hate, annoyingment, you are awesome and a wholesome person, thank you for these videos

The editing on that montage at the end is insane, it made me emotional and I haven't even seen the KH1 playthrough yet.
lol 12:39 was just perfect delivery
And then she walked out like a boss...
The Hundred Acre Woods segments really gets me sad and nostalgic.
49:06 "can you spare a heart?" Slaps sora this bad boy can fit so many hearts
42:34 I can't believe you included that. Subscribed
6:50 "What did you tell him?"
"Nomura is just making it up as he goes along."
I can't get enough of this😂
Fun fact: Corey Burton played Sark, who was played by David Warner in Tron. Corey Burton based his Transformers G1 Shockwave voice off of David Warners voice. So Burton was the logical choice to voice Sark.
Dearly beloved destroys me every time, loved your reactions and I am glad you enjoyed it so much :)
Watching your reaction to the secret ending was priceless. Now get ready for Kingdom Hearts to get alot more darker. 😈😈
You should be really proud about 43:40 !! Played it back like 3 times
Your editing keeps getting better and better! Absolutely adore you and your videos
What a journey. I will never get tired of watching others enjoy my absolute favorite childhood games! Also, wonderful editing at the end! Loved the flashbacks.
So many years and this ending still makes me cry
i dont know what to say ...

I haven’t gotten to the Xemnas fight in all of my KH2 play throughs, so watching that you get to briefly play as Riku got me so happy and excited omg
It's pretty cool how they reference Xion at time without realizing it - 34:10 for example
43:40, holly sh*t do you sing? That sounded amazing
Holy crap, the editing on this was amazing, especially the ending.
When moms won and walked out like a Boss…
“Of course I won”
Whole time you ain’t know moms been about the Kingdom hearts life 🖤
The Battle of a Thousand Heartless & the FF Cameos are what define Kingdom Hearts as a Playable Anime.
Love for Sanctuary Orchestral Version?? In this economy?? You don't know how happy I am to see you appreciating and using it. Loved your reaction a lot, thank you for sharing it.

12:36 damn yo mama got that Rizz that was a sick finisher
reminds me of my childhood i remember playing this with my mom and my lil bro but we dont have the chance to finish it together, we never have..

29:23 the sheer trauma i re-experienced with you as I war flashbacked to 14 year old me fighting sephiroth over and over for 100% completion
This Video just randomly showed up on my Page and I was wondering what it was. Well I can say 3 things, I don't regret clicking on this video, I loved that part where your Mum just casually button mashed the boss to death and also I really love your reactions to the story they threw me back to when I first played the game 🤩
These videos are so good. Top tier editing.
I was shocked that mom beat the boss, my expression was like wow. Great gaming Frankie!! I finally beat this game last week.
Kingdom Hearts is a soft spot in my heart and i'm so happy when other people enjoy it in this way
The first person in a long time that actually enjoy the sing along rhythm level I respect that.
the editing was so good! congrats on finishing the game!!
Awe your sister is so supportive she cheered even though you died lmfao...that was so sweet
I can't wait for you to play through the rest of the games!
excelent edit at the end
I'm so ready for the next one. I absolutely love this series
15:07 one of my favorite moments in KH history.
26:00 the winnie the pooh story gets so sad in kh3 because they do lose the bond again and because we see pooh not so often and i was watching someone else said, what if its because sora is growing up like Christopher did and no longer had pooh and that's why the connecting is weaker
I just finished my proud replay of kh2, awesome to see a first timer, welcome to the ride! Kingdom hearts is a series I wish I could play first time again.
I freakin love the kh playthroughs I can't wait for all the next games like 358/2, bbs, and ddd (and not re:coded)
Actually amazing reaction video. Editing on point
You made me smile with your reaction. I love this saga since I was a child, even more Kingdom Hearts II. It’s great to see others enjoyining it 😊
Watching this has been amazing. Thank you for reliving my childhood
Idk why but at 58:19 had me dying seeing Goofy😂
Hahaha, the fight your mother did was EPIC!
I really got to stop seeing videos like this at work. Here I am almost crying at the office, during that ending. KH2 is the game first KH game I played. Those memories will stay with me forever.
never watch a stream or video and i have to say this was entertaining and when you`re mom showed up that was gold
just counted. that sephiroth fight literally lasted for a single second. i am now scared to play kh for the first time (look i know hes optional, but i just want to hear one winged angel while actually playing)
27:18
Frankie being a tsundere about Donald Duck
your the only person i know that finds any amusement in the atlantis part thank you!
Me ha encantado tu video aunque no entienda del todo el ingles. Se nota que esta saga te ha llegado al corazón 😊. Saludos desde España!
A really perfect edit at the end combining both games experiencies. I loves It so much!!
I'm so eager to watch you playing more Kingdom Hearts games!
Birth by sleep is my favorite! That secret ending always get me!
This was a fun journey to watch.
Absolutely amazing vid, the hand embrace at the end of 2 gets me every time, so much learned and sacrificed leading up to that moment, straight up gives me chills
I'm pretty sure this comment will get ignored, but I love how you sang "My Sanctuary"
Plus I also cried during the end of the Winnie the Pooh storyline
Glad to watch this! Haven't been able to catch your streams the past month or so due to work and life 😅
But glad you enjoyed these games! Also the DW shirt looks good, looking forward to Crisis Core next month, been ages since i played it on PSP 💜
Inexplicably in love with this series
Love Sora's goth Santa outfit he wears in Christmas town.
When sanctuary starts at the end...it just hits so hard:')
