Oh MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ROXAS'S ROOM! There are literally NO reference image's of his room and you don't get to view much of it in the game's cut scenes! As a artist, I've ALWAYS wanted to draw him in HIS ROOM! Thanks so much for the help!
**Minor KH 1& 2 spoilers ahead** The castle visible in the distance from Hollow Bastion/Radiant Garden is called Villain's Vale. There's extremely little to no explanation as to what exactly the origin of Villain's Vale is, but that's the base of operations for Maleficent and Pete for most of KH2 after losing Hollow Bastion to the protagonists near the end of KH1. Villain's Vale is where Maleficent and Pete are shown to be looking out from or plotting things in a number of cutscenes throughout the game. The top room (the only room ever shown, iirc) of the Vale is behind the giant Heartless emblem. It's the same room that Pete was in during the scene where he opens the door to the Timeless River. I really hope that if you're able to revisit KH2 for this series or in your spare time, you check out that Room of Villain's Vale that we only see in cutscenes and hopefully share anything you find. I feel like the devs were originally planning more for that location and just scrapped it all at the end because there's a shocking lack of information for such a large landmark in that world :/ Either way, amazing video as always! ♥
Now that you mention it I do remember a part in the story section or Jiminy's journal that says something along the lines of "in Villain's Vale the heartless swarmed, while Nobodys darted about" didn't really get what that was until now
Same here. I also always wondered why that scene tended to lag the emulator I was using. I always figured it was the disappearing/reappearing models, but the fact that it's rendering the game twice makes more sense.
Ok that Sora thing in Twilight town blew my mind Played this game over 10 times and never noticed Also just watching this gives me a whole new outlook on game developers The variety of techniques that were used in order to give the best experience is truly extraordinary Also the voiceover edit at 14:06, genius dude, keep it up!
The other castle in hollow bastion is actually Villain's Vale, The castle where Maleficent is when Pete goes to Timeless River. You can actually see allot of the model during those cutscenes and I wouldn't be surprised if there was a pixely texture of the Bastion from that cutscene as well. You probably even see it briefly in the cutscene.
I love the ingenuity game creators have all these little short cuts are really neat to see, some people think its lazy or cutting corners but its really creative and useful to do it makes me appreciate all the work the game creators do.
@@shikitohno47 I mean, the original KH2 was released on the PS2, so of course there are gonna be more shortcuts. Hell, even in modern games, there are still shortcuts used to make the game work properly.
Especially in older games, the shortcuts are not taken out of laziness but necessity. Cutting down on how much has to be rendered can save enough on processing power and/or memory to make or break a game's performance.
Thanks for giving us a 20 minute video on this. One of my favorite games and I'm glad you put forth the extra effort to show us all you could. Keep up the good work!
When you walk away Wait stop walking away plllsssss! The boundary! You're breaking it! Simple and clean is what your not making me feel It's hard to see what's haaaappening What is that teeeexturrre? Regardless of warning this boundary break scares me a lot Nothing's like before!
Great video Shesez, glad all of the hard work paid off. Seems like a lot of people are enjoying it. Thanks for the link to my video in the description. To expand a bit on it though. I will be compiling everything that is suggested in the comments of that video into a giant video where I show off everything that couldn't be shown in this video. Wether it be from pacing or just not interesting enough for a video of this magnitude. So if you're reading this and have any left over request that wasn't shown in this video be sure to go leave a comment on my video linked in the description. Thanks everyone for your support while this camera was being made it was a tough one.
Nekorun If i gave credit and lead it back to your channel also.would it be fine if i can put this on two kh pages i'm a admin of if possible.i think a lot would be surprised or shocked of it
12:44 it's 1 in the morning, and for some reason you woke up. That feeling in your blatter tells you the reason, so you get out of bed & head to bathroom. Halfway to the bathroom you hear a faint noise, but you can't pick apart what it is. You turn around, draining your blatter seeing the silhouette. And now, now you realise what that noise was, it was a voice, the voice of whatever beast stares you down in your own home. It slowly walks towards you making a faint noise of a hoof clop. Out of fear you turn around and run but as fate would have it, you trip, you trip and fall. The clops from the demon's hoofs get closer and louder, it kneels down beside you and wispers in your ear, "G̛̀̕e̕͘͠t҉̼̘͠ ̶̴̨u̴̕̕p̢̛͟ ̵̴̀҉͈̦͖o͏̨̀n͏̕͡ ̛̕͡t̡́̀h̡̳ͅe̶̵̴ ̧̧͞ḩ̷͠y͕͝͝d̛͜͠r̷҉̛̘̕a҉̧̠͠'͏̛҉̞̘͝s̷̨̨҉̭̹̮ ̸̵̨҉̺̝̰b͏̝͟ą̷͝c̵̨̖k̸͘͡."
And holy hell. Started to subscribe to you when you had like 1k subs. And look at you now! ❤️ Well deserved. Cant remember the last time i stumbled upon more original content.
One of my favorite games, spent so much time with it when I was younger. I really love the aspect of character models disappearing the second they're off frame, the struggle promoter disappearing while the camera pans a foot to the right is extremely...something. Interesting, I guess.
Dude I’ve been watching this channel for oh maybe 6-7 months now and I’ve left this comment before and I’ll leave it again, YOU MADE MY DAY POSTING THIS!! YOU SERIOUSLY HAVE DONE SO MANY OF MY FAVORITE GAMES
20:00 Nice, you found the Pit Cell "secret". Was hoping you would. It's a bit odd how it's not in its own map, seeing how cutscene-only places in KH usually are. By the way, @Shesez, the Mickeys House map is generally thought to be from the "Mickey's Orphan's" cartoon, due to the winter and Christmas setting. Roxas' house in the virtual Twilight Town is also on the street between Station Heights and the Sandlot. It's hard to make it out ingame unless you have a good eye and can recognize some buildings.
This is one of my favorite games of all time! It was so interesting seeing everything from a different perspective. Also I truly love how you kept all the music in there from the game itself as you usually do, but this game was one of the biggest parts of my childhood not only because of the game itself but also because of the memories I’ve shared with my cousin whom I rarely get to see anymore. Bringing this long comment to a close this video has made me really want to replay the game, and has brought a tear to my eye tonight listening to all the music from each level reminiscing on all of the memories I shared with my cousin through this game! Thank you for doing this video!
I appreciate the tinny audio effect during Timeless River segments. I had a crap TV when I first played the game and didn't notice, but was pleasantly surprised in the HD collection. I'm glad you took advantage of your own editing to simulate it.
Holy crap. I just discovered your channel and I love it already. Little touches like changing your voice quality for Timeless River were really cool and well done. Thanks man
When I first started watching this channel I didn't really think it was that terribly good, I stuck around for a while because I saw the potential. I gotta say you've really outdone yourself with this episode, and since the first ep that I watched you've been steadily evolving as a content creator. Well done!
No need to apologize for this being late - it was WELL worth the wait! I never really got into KH myself, but I do respect the fanbase and the game itself for what it is, and this was a beautifully crafted tribute to the game.
There is nothing like coming home from a super long and stressful shift at work to find a brand new and robust episode of Boundary Break! Featuring one of my favorite games of all time no less. So happy to be a part of the Boundary Break community. Thank you Shesez and everyone else involved with making these episodes! They truly bring me happiness.
Yeah no those Pixar project files are going to be terabytes and terabytes of 3D content in an in-house Pixar format that you wouldn't even be able to view without a workstation that costs thousands of dollars and is connected to Pixar's private network (another thing you won't ever have access to) so you can navigate the huge amount of content they have and you'd also need their in-house tools (again, you'll never get access to these). In the games industry we're very lucky to get white papers from Pixar detailing their research and developments, you're not going to get anything more than that out of them.
I don't give a shit who this guy is or who he thinks he is, Pixar is never gonna just hand over their project files to him even if he could view them lol. He could alter the movie to something weird and release it. No way in hell.
Really love this vid, like seeing all of the KH2 stuff in full. Only one complaint is that the stage at 21:40 cut off really quickly and it was hard to see all the details, but besides that it was awesome to see all the stuff you don't get to see.
my respect for square enix just grew. im loving how much time they took on the environments and how much is actually there. thanks shesez for doing this
Dude! This is so cool! Maybe you could look at 356/2 days? There are some REALLY interesting places you could look at. Thanks for being this little niche of youtube that focuses on the technical aspects of our favorite games! Have a great day.
Mary reviews OOOO YES if he does that game that would be amazing Plus I even have the game and I've got to say to me it's a pretty big game on a DS and I think it tells the full story of Roxas! It would be so cool if you did that! It would be also cool if he did Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep for the PSP. In Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance for the 3DS
Watching this exactly a year after it was first published. This is the first video I've seen from this channel and I LOVE it! I'll definitely have to check out your other videos.
I don't care how long it took. You have no idea how happy I am that covered KH2. Just seeing more of a game that brought me so many memories...I don't even know what to say. Thank you. Really.
Awesome video man. I notice that you change the microphone during Timeless River, sounding really vintage. I love how you care about those little details that made your videos so good, man. Greetings from Spain!
Oh gosh thank you for this episode KH2 is so beloved for so many players. Seeing these secrets it really is like having been blind for all your life, but now we are finally able to see. It tugs at the heartstrings a little :'D Incredible vid!!
Very nice attention to detail. Nice to see how they did that Sora/Roxas fade transition on the 6th day. Also, digging the added touch of the lo-fi audio on the old-time Mickey segments.
That window scene on day 6 blew my mind. I have no idea how many times I've watched that scene play out since I was 10 years old. But it's more than I could count, and I've never noticed it.
It would also be cool to see the outside of Agrabah, like that map where we can see in the distance the city where Sora flies on the carpet on one side and the entrance to the Cave of Wonders on the other side. Also, i wonder if this unicorn/pegasus in Twilight Mansion's garden really is a reference to Ira from Chi Back Cover and Union Cross. Just the thought of it gives me chills. (6:56)
I can imagine that there's multiple separate rooms close together and the game simply warps the player between them. Or possibly the platforms and the movement path regions are switched in a single room with them outside.
I remember using GameShark to visit the Destiny Island's Town on the PS2 back in 2006. Very nostalgic watching this video, great work! TH-cam suggestions seem to be getting better
Wow, I just found your videos this morning and now I've pretty spent my entire holiday binge watching them (well that's a lie, I snuck in some time for extra activities). Good work, dude! Aside from just seeing some of the stuff that's hidden in the game files, this is actually really educational in terms of how video games are designed and put together. I'm really enjoying these videos, keep up the good work!
One of the weirder complaints I have with the Kingdom Hearts games thus far is how they handle facial animation. They ping-pong back and forth between static textures and actually animating a face. The textures always look so cheap and lifeless, either stick with that or stick with the fully-modeled face, please. It's a really weird thing to be annoyed by, I know, but it irks me every time they do that.
Jeremy Valdez Absolutely. KH2 is actually one of my favorite games of all time, hence why I notice and criticize odd aspects of it. I've got lots of experience and memories tied to it.
i actually liked the textured faces, the pingponging back and foth aspect i did'nt not like. both models were cool but the textured style in kh1 i perfered since i was really into disney cartoons back then
I think that’s more of a hardware limitation. Either that or animating all of the faces just takes too much time. They did actually improve ALOT since Kingdom Hearts 1. In the first game, it was mostly the “blah blah” face due to their limited budget and hardware limitations. In kh2, the animated faces were used much more often, even for minor characters. (Leon, Yuffie and Aerith never had animated faces in kh1). Then when Re:Com came around, they practically used the animated faces all of the time. With Birth By Sleep it was half and half which is surprising considering it was on the psp, but the main characters usually always had animated faces, unless it was during an unimportant cutscene or a faraway shot. DDD I noticed was also about half and half like BBS. KH 0.2 & 3 luckily has rid the world of those damn faces and will now be fully animated all the time, even in combat!! So excited for that (:
and even with Dream Drop Distance with it being on the 3ds they improved on it too. Plus no text box cutscenes, all voice over ones which is an improvement as well. I get I don't like those faces either, but we are getting there to where we won't have them... cause so far 3 is close to it.
What a fantastic episode for a fantastic game! I loved all of the effort and detail you put into this episode and look forward to the next ones! I kind of wanted to see the boss fight in the Pride Lands when you back the second time so we could see how big the model of the boss was but that's fine. Also would have liked to see what the Lingering Will boss fight has to offer, like when he pulls out his keyblade glider or whatever it's called as well as his ultimate attack. Once again thanks for another great episode!
Shinya The Ninja Then You should just said Kingdom hearts 1.5 instead Kingdom Hearts 1 And 1.5 or you could said Kingdom Hearts 1 And Chain Of Memories :P
A fun video! I haven't been on youtube for a few days, so only just getting to see this now, but it's exciting to see! There's always a bunch of fun stuff. I think the most interesting part was how the final arena was made. That's really cool.
notices Final Fantasy in Roxas' room. Forgets there is a kmart box there as well. maybe they aren't going out of business... they just moving to a different worlds to get their business. I've always seen that box with the K and just thought: Kmart... ok. XD
Oh MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ROXAS'S ROOM! There are literally NO reference image's of his room and you don't get to view much of it in the game's cut scenes! As a artist, I've ALWAYS wanted to draw him in HIS ROOM! Thanks so much for the help!
@Jisatsu We may never know ☹️
We must know
fun fact it's actually Ventus' room from birth by sleep. Also, the same reason why Roxas looks like Ventus
Where do you post your art?
Caught that too! Wonderful
**Minor KH 1& 2 spoilers ahead**
The castle visible in the distance from Hollow Bastion/Radiant Garden is called Villain's Vale.
There's extremely little to no explanation as to what exactly the origin of Villain's Vale is, but that's the base of operations for Maleficent and Pete for most of KH2 after losing Hollow Bastion to the protagonists near the end of KH1.

Either way, amazing video as always! ♥
too bad kh3 didn’t include radiant garden/hollow bastion. maybe if they added it we could know everything abt the Vale
Now that you mention it I do remember a part in the story section or Jiminy's journal that says something along the lines of "in Villain's Vale the heartless swarmed, while Nobodys darted about" didn't really get what that was until now
Wowzers, I never noticed Sora in the window, and I've played through that segment like five times.
RadicalSoda damn, I'm surprised to find you here. I Hope you continue making great content.
More like 50 for me. 😅
Same here. I also always wondered why that scene tended to lag the emulator I was using. I always figured it was the disappearing/reappearing models, but the fact that it's rendering the game twice makes more sense.

Wait, this isn't Twilight Town at all, this is...GRAND METROPOLIS!
8:32 "Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee Honorary Member!"

It was inevitable. That voice for Areth was kinda bad.
It's so ridiculously sweet-sounding it makes me laugh. I kind of like it for that reason. :p
i perfer her crisis core VA. i wish they would have redubbed her in AC when they did the remaster of the film in advent children complete
The pressure was too much
This made me laugh so hard. Thank you. 😂
I love your voice alteration when looking at Timeless River. It's that attention to detail that I love about your content, Shesez.
Not to mention things like saying, "the bee's knees"
He thought of the idea, but thought it would be too distracting. Those of us on Twitter apparently convinced him otherwise.
Gestrid
Wow, something good came from Twitter? Color me surprised!
It's fun to replay KH2 with all these creative solutions and designs in mind--really adds to the enjoyment of what's presented on-screen!
i listen to your music during school, just thought i should mention that
I love the audio changed you did during timeless river. Love little touches like that
Caught that too! Wonderful
Ok that Sora thing in Twilight town blew my mind
Played this game over 10 times and never noticed
Also just watching this gives me a whole new outlook on game developers
The variety of techniques that were used in order to give the best experience is truly extraordinary
Also the voiceover edit at 14:06, genius dude, keep it up!
Ruxis yeah he keeping it cool
The other castle in hollow bastion is actually Villain's Vale, The castle where Maleficent is when Pete goes to Timeless River. You can actually see allot of the model during those cutscenes and I wouldn't be surprised if there was a pixely texture of the Bastion from that cutscene as well.

It's even featured in some of the very first Hollow Bastion cutscenes in the game.

Nope, its lazy and these games take like 5 years to come out just for them to pull shit like this LMFAO square Enix goin out ATROCIOUS

This is hands down the best episode you've aired
8:01 Yen Sid must t-pose to assert his dominance
He needs dominance to tell everyone that his name spelled backwards is Disney
Maybe the real Kingdom Hearts were the friends we made along the way
- Sora KH3 probably
That's also the plot for One Piece.
I can see it lol
How’d you guess it so perfectly?
Lol it didn’t even happen in kh3

Sora never got onto the Hydra's back for some reason.
Ben Ledford SHUT UP PHIL!
GET ON THE HYDRA'S BACK!
Benjamin Rodriguez Reyes
When i first played this game and got to that section i was so annoyed when Phil kept saying GET UP ON THE HYDRA’S BACK
That's actually kinda disappointing. Would've been cool to see all those attack sequences while zoomed out.
GET ON THE HYDRA, SHINJ- uh, i mean SORA
7:58 MY NAME... SPELLED BACKWARDS... IS DISNEY!
Did you know that my name spelled backwards is Disn-
Okay I believe you
*leaves room*
Arkulous pretty neat don’t you think?
Never realized that :O omg!
I wanted this video to go on for hours
I suppose it could if you were to rewatch it over and over again
The bald Yensid T-Pose, reminds me of that one Jesus statue in Brazil.
Thanks for giving us a 20 minute video on this. One of my favorite games and I'm glad you put forth the extra effort to show us all you could. Keep up the good work!

I honestly love that when he talks about timeless river he muffles his voice great editing technique!

The other castle by Hollow Bastion is Maleficent's hideout. You see it closeup in a couple cutscenes.

Indeed, plus the boss fight with Sephiroth is right next to it.
Believe me. When i first whatch your video of out of boundaries smash bros i always wanted one about kh. Im so grateful. THANKS!

In the games industry we're very lucky to get white papers from Pixar detailing their research and developments, you're not going to get anything more than that out of them.
I don't give a shit who this guy is or who he thinks he is, Pixar is never gonna just hand over their project files to him even if he could view them lol. He could alter the movie to something weird and release it. No way in hell.
Bridgeman okay who gives a fuck?
@@Chris-cz9gy I do
Really love this vid, like seeing all of the KH2 stuff in full. Only one complaint is that the stage at 21:40 cut off really quickly and it was hard to see all the details, but besides that it was awesome to see all the stuff you don't get to see.
my respect for square enix just grew. im loving how much time they took on the environments and how much is actually there. thanks shesez for doing this
This is the best episode you have done so far!
The HD remaster of this game shows the "final fantasy" books are ultimania art books, which are totally real super duper art books. Like, 500pg books.
I love how this series details the development of games and also how they take so much time to make the player feel more immersed in it
Dude! This is so cool! Maybe you could look at 356/2 days? There are some REALLY interesting places you could look at. Thanks for being this little niche of youtube that focuses on the technical aspects of our favorite games! Have a great day.
Mary reviews OOOO YES if he does that game that would be amazing Plus I even have the game and I've got to say to me it's a pretty big game on a DS and I think it tells the full story of Roxas! It would be so cool if you did that! It would be also cool if he did Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep for the PSP. In Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance for the 3DS
Watching this exactly a year after it was first published. This is the first video I've seen from this channel and I LOVE it! I'll definitely have to check out your other videos.
8:30 Sora? Are you ok?... I don't think he will be ready for the next game after this...
That's why KH3 took so long. lol
It must be the Shaft's doing.
Ernov Nazadie II More tilting necks!
A hydra is in the back of his neck
I don't care how long it took. You have no idea how happy I am that covered KH2. Just seeing more of a game that brought me so many memories...I don't even know what to say. Thank you. Really.
I grew up with playing both kingdom hearts 1&2 best childhood ever 😊
Awesome video man. I notice that you change the microphone during Timeless River, sounding really vintage. I love how you care about those little details that made your videos so good, man.
Greetings from Spain!
My kingdom has come, my heart shall be done.
Oh gosh thank you for this episode KH2 is so beloved for so many players. Seeing these secrets it really is like having been blind for all your life, but now we are finally able to see. It tugs at the heartstrings a little :'D Incredible vid!!
4:44 halfway to a T-Pose
But the entire scene looks like a 13 year old dragged character models around in photoshop
Long episode but totally worth it as a new fan and a long time Kingdom Hearts fan!! Loved it!!
So, When is Vinny Pizza-pasta doin that collab with you ? :3 he told us on stream he was gonna do a collab with ya, i wanna know!
Vinnys a busy guy but i've followed up with him and cant wait to do the collab
^_ ^ fantastic
Temmie Plays! Like Vinesauce Vinny?
the one and only :3
Vinny hasn't actually mentioned what game it's going to be, has he? Or is it still a pepperoni secret?
Very nice attention to detail. Nice to see how they did that Sora/Roxas fade transition on the 6th day. Also, digging the added touch of the lo-fi audio on the old-time Mickey segments.
Loved the video man. Would’ve liked to see a zoom out on The World that Never Was though. Thought there would be some potential there
That window scene on day 6 blew my mind. I have no idea how many times I've watched that scene play out since I was 10 years old. But it's more than I could count, and I've never noticed it.
You sadly forget the most important world........ The World that Never Was 😔😔😔
i always perfered its japanese name since it sounded cooler and was'nt such a long word. Deep Dive CIty
I prefer the English name. I never knew it was different in Japan.
The french name is Illusiopolis
Léo Sora italian name is "Il mondo che non esiste" which translates to "The World That Doesn't Exists"
In Spain it’s called “el mundo inexistente” (the nonexistent world)
Never played any of these games. But always thought that they looked good. Great job dude! This was an amazing episode! keep up the hard work!
NICE, one of my favorite game
Thank you guys !
It would also be cool to see the outside of Agrabah, like that map where we can see in the distance the city where Sora flies on the carpet on one side and the entrance to the Cave of Wonders on the other side.
Also, i wonder if this unicorn/pegasus in Twilight Mansion's garden really is a reference to Ira from Chi Back Cover and Union Cross. Just the thought of it gives me chills. (6:56)
BUT WHAT ABOUT XIGBAR AND HIS SHAPE CHANGING ARENA?
madamminalost Leave a comment on Nekorun/DeepGamingReasearch's video, which Shesez linked in the video description.
Gestrid Oh he knows already. amd 15 other things.
I can imagine that there's multiple separate rooms close together and the game simply warps the player between them. Or possibly the platforms and the movement path regions are switched in a single room with them outside.
I remember using GameShark to visit the Destiny Island's Town on the PS2 back in 2006. Very nostalgic watching this video, great work! TH-cam suggestions seem to be getting better
Sorry life, Kingdom Hearts 2 just got a Boundary Break episode!!!!!
Wow, I just found your videos this morning and now I've pretty spent my entire holiday binge watching them (well that's a lie, I snuck in some time for extra activities). Good work, dude! Aside from just seeing some of the stuff that's hidden in the game files, this is actually really educational in terms of how video games are designed and put together. I'm really enjoying these videos, keep up the good work!
God this is AMAZING!!
This is one of my favorite childhood games, and it came out on my birthday. Thank you so much!!!
One of the weirder complaints I have with the Kingdom Hearts games thus far is how they handle facial animation. They ping-pong back and forth between static textures and actually animating a face. The textures always look so cheap and lifeless, either stick with that or stick with the fully-modeled face, please. It's a really weird thing to be annoyed by, I know, but it irks me every time they do that.
Aednat Teare-Mercure Yeah I noticed that too, but you gotta admit, the battle animations and effects are on point.
Jeremy Valdez Absolutely. KH2 is actually one of my favorite games of all time, hence why I notice and criticize odd aspects of it. I've got lots of experience and memories tied to it.
i actually liked the textured faces, the pingponging back and foth aspect i did'nt not like. both models were cool but the textured style in kh1 i perfered since i was really into disney cartoons back then
I think that’s more of a hardware limitation. Either that or animating all of the faces just takes too much time. They did actually improve ALOT since Kingdom Hearts 1. In the first game, it was mostly the “blah blah” face due to their limited budget and hardware limitations.
In kh2, the animated faces were used much more often, even for minor characters. (Leon, Yuffie and Aerith never had animated faces in kh1).
Then when Re:Com came around, they practically used the animated faces all of the time.
With Birth By Sleep it was half and half which is surprising considering it was on the psp, but the main characters usually always had animated faces, unless it was during an unimportant cutscene or a faraway shot.
DDD I noticed was also about half and half like BBS.
KH 0.2 & 3 luckily has rid the world of those damn faces and will now be fully animated all the time, even in combat!! So excited for that (:
and even with Dream Drop Distance with it being on the 3ds they improved on it too. Plus no text box cutscenes, all voice over ones which is an improvement as well. I get I don't like those faces either, but we are getting there to where we won't have them... cause so far 3 is close to it.
What a fantastic episode for a fantastic game! I loved all of the effort and detail you put into this episode and look forward to the next ones! I kind of wanted to see the boss fight in the Pride Lands when you back the second time so we could see how big the model of the boss was but that's fine. Also would have liked to see what the Lingering Will boss fight has to offer, like when he pulls out his keyblade glider or whatever it's called as well as his ultimate attack. Once again thanks for another great episode!
Kingdom Hearts 1 and 1.5 please do my favorite games but also maybe if u can try until dawn or outlast scary games
Shinya The Ninja
That would be interesting to see in Boundary Break.
They're are the same game -,-
Dan Gamer there kingdom Hearts and then there a kingdom Hearts gsme taker after kingdom Hearts 1 I think called chain memories
Shinya The Ninja Then You should just said Kingdom hearts 1.5 instead Kingdom Hearts 1 And 1.5 or you could said Kingdom Hearts 1 And Chain Of Memories :P
I would like two see Outlast 1&2 the graphics for those are great especially 2
I love it how you implemented original Disney Soundtracks for each world instead of the KH-Tracks.
20:51
You can actually see that castle up close at the place where you fight Sephiroth.
A fun video! I haven't been on youtube for a few days, so only just getting to see this now, but it's exciting to see! There's always a bunch of fun stuff. I think the most interesting part was how the final arena was made. That's really cool.
notices Final Fantasy in Roxas' room. Forgets there is a kmart box there as well. maybe they aren't going out of business... they just moving to a different worlds to get their business. I've always seen that box with the K and just thought: Kmart... ok. XD
I like how when you talk about Timeless River, you muffle your voice. I love it so much
