Reminds me that, when I was younger and went on road trips with my family, every time we stopped on a town or some other noticeable locations, I used to think of them as new worlds in KH, and tried to think of what their world logo would be, what song it has, what heartless would appear ect. Very wholesome
I have never told anyone this but when I was a little kid I used to dive in the pool with my eyes close and imagine I was with Sora and them. And I will never ever tell anyone else this😂
Ah yes! Glad you recognized the location Paseo Mall and Old Town at night is definitely very nice. I always did get the sense Paseo at night was Traverse Town
@@StormX6 indeed. Unrelated to KH, but they now have Tatsu Ramen in that city, a few minutes drive from that shopping center. Best ramen in the so cal area imo. You should try it!
I would love there to be a real life Twilight Town. I’d always wanted to eat that Sea Salt ice cream and have really good friends like Hayner, Pence, and Odette.
.... That may not be such a good idea.... The clock tower? what if people want to sit up there like Axel Roxas and Xion... Mistakes can happen you know, one slip and the city/town has a lawsuit
Dude, imagine if everyone went out to find their city/town version of Traverse Town, Twilight Town, Hollow Bastian, World That Never Was, etc and documented it online? There's a reason to travel around! "There are many worlds, but they share the same sky - one sky one destiny". Still poetry
This idea I think is perfect! After watching this video I thought about finding some place in my city that looked like KH or other games, imagine how cool it would be if everyone gathered to take pictures of places in their cities to combine the pictures!
I've lived close to Pasadena and have been to the Paseo so many times but I never realized how much it gave Travese Town vibes! Need to go back there at night more haha.
@@StormX6 Maybe, with all the Heartless running around, Traverse Town was in lockdown too and Sora never noticed because of his role as the world-hopping hero?
Very nice! Looks like a pretty peaceful place, and the Traverse Town theme complements the scenery to a T. The next time I take a nighttime stroll through the outdoor mall nearest to me, I'm gonna turn on this music on my iPod!
It looked perfect in the thumbnail,and I knew you were going to do the music, but my goggly goodness this is just...... perfect. Smacked me in the face a little too hard XD
For some reason, this is calmer than I remember Traverse Town being. *Flashback to me lost in Traverse Town wildly swinging at any and everything around me for progress*
This reminds me of in 2017 my family took a trip to Disney and I made a slideshow of everyone's pictures and sorted them by each park and added Kingdom Hearts music that felt like it matched each park
Neat vid! It really has a Traverse Town vibe to it. But in my opinion, it has a bit more of Dream Drop Distance vibe than KH1. If You're planing to make another one of these, try it with the KH3D soundtrack.
Yooo The Paseo at Old Town Pasadena… I knew there was a vibe to it that was familiar. Real life traverse town. I live 10 mins away and I might visit more often now that I know it’s literally traverse town lol
Holy smokes, I've actually been there before, and I took an old friend out to lunch there! Granted, I've never been there at night, but yeah! I can vouch you on this: this IS the RL version of Traverse Town! Now, if I could only find the RL version of Twilight Town...
Awesome!! During the First lockdown in the United Kingdom, me and my friends decided to go central London and no joke with there being barely any people outside and the city to ourselves with the lamps illuminating the streets . It legit felt Like I was in traverse town, was humming the theme as-well. Stumbling upon this video just brought back that memory !
Anyone else see this in their recommended for like 3 weeks straight and avoided watching it cuz you already knew it was gonna be a slow camera pan over this city with the Traverse Town Theme playing, but got tired of seeing it plastered all over your recommendations so you finally give in and watched it purely out of spite? Or is it just me?
This is pretty much like how Boston's Downtown / Crossing, Winthrop's /Revere's Center and Magic Kingdom feel like during the night and where there's barely any people.
Off topic but there was a pathway in the back of my home that resembled and felt alot like Twilight Princess's pathway just before the *water springs* location where you find and obtain Epona the first time. Wish I recorded it before some greedy people bought the land near it to use as a dump for construction, causing mud to flush into that area when it rained! 😑
I didn’t create the town, I just found it and felt like it looks like it. I don’t have a city maker or a book to select what city looks the most like Traverse Town, I live near this place.
@@StormX6 no I understand that, let me rephrase it. It totally looks like those places belong to KH, but the fact that they are real kinda takes the magic out of it
@@MarcoLongoMusic Oh sorry, I totally understand what you mean. Yeah, it just feels disappointing that real life just doesn’t have that same kind of magic as in the video game :(
Imagine going outside to buy some groceries and then you see a random kid with big shoes running past you while being followed by a duck and a dog.
That’d be a sight to see LOL
Now I need to get a pet duck and a pet dog and run through a country side town dressed as Sora.
I say country side cause.pet ducks in my state are only allowed in the country
Then....you’re gonna be doomed soon... 😰 as darkness consumes your city
A duck, a dog, and then another, 4-legged, dog
*goes down wrong alley irl traverstown. comes across crack head. hand in hand starts playing*
Better bring your keyblade, just in case
@@StormX6 **anti crack blade
@@anaxemurderer5094 OMGGGG 😂 I want a anti-crack blade now
What about the army of crackless and nosecandies
some crackheads carry imitation keyblades...they're called razor blades
It's even as empty as the one in the game!
But seriously, just place a bigass carnival along with a greenhouse and you're good.
Don't forget the tournament where your pets can fight too got that and boom Travers town
Ah yeah, this was during lockdown, so it was pretty quiet that night!
I agree would need a carnival and greenhouse to make it truly Traverse Town
We need the DDD version to return with all areas explorable.
@@smb-c3po man I love the ddd version of the traverse Town song
@@WanderingRonin509 I meant as in the areas we can go to.
I can faintly hear sora’s chains clanging against each other and his “HOO WAH HA” grunts as he jumps
Legend has it you can hear a teenage boy slamming a giant key on candles, pots, and chandeliers at night
Funny because in my head I keep hearing the little Moogle sound.
"Here! Ha! Hooh! DEEP FREEZE! DEEP FREEZE! DEEP FREEZE! DEEP FREEZE!
Reminds me that, when I was younger and went on road trips with my family, every time we stopped on a town or some other noticeable locations, I used to think of them as new worlds in KH, and tried to think of what their world logo would be, what song it has, what heartless would appear ect.

Your comment itself is very wholesome 🙂
Awesome!
Cuuuute!
I have never told anyone this but when I was a little kid I used to dive in the pool with my eyes close and imagine I was with Sora and them. And I will never ever tell anyone else this😂
That sounds amazing. I wanna do that now, but Britain would be so small and boring XD
As Joshua said: “this world only appears when someone is in need of shelter.” When in need, there will always be a Traverse Town waiting for you
Traverse Town is that home you can always come back to 😌
Is Joshua a god?
@@smb-c3po Play The World Ends With You
@@DrAnimePhD No, just tell me.
@@smb-c3po nah telling you would just take the fun out of it sides the game is a blast with a amazing soundtrack
Kingdom hearts fans when they see a town
Lmao thank you. This just looks like Vegas shopping areas minus the people
To be fair, it does look like Traverse Town
@@jaybomb5638 it says in the description this was the closest look alike of traverse town
@@alpha_jasperflair1097 it really does tho. Like put them side to side, you literally get the results
Why did I find this so funny even though this is slander 😭
Ah, Old Town Pasadena in Southern California. Been there a few times but thanks to your vid, i do see it being like Traverse Town
Ah yes! Glad you recognized the location Paseo Mall and Old Town at night is definitely very nice. I always did get the sense Paseo at night was Traverse Town
@@StormX6 indeed. Unrelated to KH, but they now have Tatsu Ramen in that city, a few minutes drive from that shopping center. Best ramen in the so cal area imo. You should try it!
@@matthewroman6807 I have been to that new Tatsu ramen! It was really good!
@@StormX6 nice!
CALIFORNIA?!
I wanna see a grown man in a Sora costume run around asking people if they've seen Riku
Probably has happened before because Anime Pasadena happens across the street. It’s coming up again in December!
@@StormX6 WHERE IS THIS AT!?!?
@@chikasu10 Pasadena, California. The convention happens across the street from this mall
What about Kairi? He’d definitely be asking about Kairi, too.
I swear they should put speakers playing the theme.
Quick, someone must find Twilight Town!
I would love there to be a real life Twilight Town. I’d always wanted to eat that Sea Salt ice cream and have really good friends like Hayner, Pence, and Odette.
St Augustine in Florida?
At least I think it's in Florida.
.... That may not be such a good idea.... The clock tower? what if people want to sit up there like Axel Roxas and Xion... Mistakes can happen you know, one slip and the city/town has a lawsuit
Twilight Town is inspired by Paris, apparently
@@StormX6 actually if you think about it. Twilight town would be in London .
I can imagine myself gliding through these locations and opening treasure chests.
And walking wide with a keblade
and walking down with a huge drip red shoes
I know 😂
Sees crowds of people running towards stores on Black Friday
*Night of Fate starts playing*
I’d love to see a real life twilight town. That place is so beautiful in the game
It really is. If feels very comforting in the game
Arezzo in italy is pretty similar to twilight town
my first thought was to immediately jump, dash, and start spinning on a pole
I see Sora has been getting all of his clothes from H&M
I really wondered where he got those weird looking shorts and short sleeved jacket
The lack of npcs really sells it
This was during COVID-19 lockdown, so it was very empty
Dude, imagine if everyone went out to find their city/town version of Traverse Town, Twilight Town, Hollow Bastian, World That Never Was, etc and documented it online? There's a reason to travel around! "There are many worlds, but they share the same sky - one sky one destiny". Still poetry
This idea I think is perfect! After watching this video I thought about finding some place in my city that looked like KH or other games, imagine how cool it would be if everyone gathered to take pictures of places in their cities to combine the pictures!
That’s beautiful 🤩 it’d really bring the KH community together and show each other places around the world. I’d love that
Make a website for it
What do you think of a Facebook group guys?
@@battlelegendred. Sounds like a great idea! I think having it open for people to post the places they find would be better.
so glad huey dewey and louie opened the good feet store
It's so sad that we'll probably never hear this song again within the franchise. It's one of my favorites from KH1, so calm and relaxing and mystical
Kingdom Hearts apparently invented towns.
Nah, I'm just messing around. This does look nice.
I had a feeling Roxas got his outfit at H&M
That or Hot Topic.
I've lived close to Pasadena and have been to the Paseo so many times but I never realized how much it gave Travese Town vibes! Need to go back there at night more haha.
Ah yeah! Sometimes I listen to the Traverse Town theme while walking through Paseo and I feel the vibes
Living 3 cities away from Pasadena, coming here frequently and seeing this randomly through the algorithm got me to shit my pants
The algorithm must know where you live
Ah yes, you cant have traverse town without a lens crafters
It’s an integral part where Sora found out he was near sighted and had to get special glasses to see better
If I ever get married I always wanted toe venue to resemble the first distinct. Like a dark, brick, iron railings, a warm glow. Stained glass...
That’s be beautiful 🥲
I think you meant First District
wtf this felt so good to watch!!
Traverse Town always felt very relaxing whenever I played. The place is Paseo Mall in Pasadena
Ok all we need are random heartless popping outta nowhere
Would need some good ol’ CGI for that
The lack of NPC's makes this so much more accurate
This was during lockdown, so not a lot of places were open and restaurants weren’t allowed to have indoor dining.
@@StormX6 Maybe, with all the Heartless running around, Traverse Town was in lockdown too and Sora never noticed because of his role as the world-hopping hero?
Traverse Town reminds me of Main Street in Disney Land.
You’re right! Also Downtown Disney too
Very nice! Looks like a pretty peaceful place, and the Traverse Town theme complements the scenery to a T. The next time I take a nighttime stroll through the outdoor mall nearest to me, I'm gonna turn on this music on my iPod!
That’s exactly what I did filming this! It’s very relaxing and nostalgic!
Go to the other side of town and the DDD version starts playing. It's my favorite rendition of the song, so soothing.
never thought pasadena could be traverse town
i love how the bath and body works is still there
It could be! I also used to go to that Bath and Body Works when I was little. My mom would always take me
I feel like I've seen this exact place in my dreams.
I gotta say, it really does look a lot like it, as well as the Waribiki and castlefreak2009 videos.
Thank you! I have seen those other videos and they are also pretty close to Traverse Town too!
Did You Know That Anaheim, Destiny Islands, Pasadena, Sora, Victoria Justice, And Woody Are All On The Disney Wiki?
That is so cool. It would be amazing if someone Cosplaying as Sora appeared or Leon leaning against a wall looking down.
It could happen. Anime Pasadena is happening right across the street in December
It looked perfect in the thumbnail,and I knew you were going to do the music, but my goggly goodness this is just...... perfect. Smacked me in the face a little too hard XD
Aw thank you! I’m really glad you liked!
@@StormX6 I do, I love it~
Now someone has to walk there pet duck & dog while having their house key in hand.
Take any KH fan to an outside shopping center then mix in night or evening ambience and I can assure you they will play this song in their head
For some reason, this is calmer than I remember Traverse Town being.
*Flashback to me lost in Traverse Town wildly swinging at any and everything around me for progress*
My sister and I used to get lost too in Traverse Town, we’d spend so many hours trying to find where to go
I can already imagine myself high jumping and gliding around. Lmfao
Sora every 5 seconds: "Hyuh! Hyuh!"
I personally think it's more of a vibe than an actual place
Honestly I never actually shop or buy much here, but I take a stroll just to feel like I’m in Traverse Town
Paseo Mall is totally Traverse Town. It’s also a nice please to walk around with pals. Now I’m have this in my head when I go back there.
Paseo really is! I really do think it looks nice at night. Having the Traverse Town theme playing on your phone helps get those KH vibes
It’s accurate down to the world being disturbingly scarcely populated… 🙁
Oh this was during COVID-19 lockdown, so not many ppl were out. The restaurants and shops weren’t open during the night.
Omg this was the mall I went to as a kid!!’ This is awesome, I knew it looked familiar. As a KH fan I am very happy :)
Your welcome! I also went here when I was a kid. It’s in my hometown
I cannot even begin to imagine the serenity I would feel listening to this while walking through here.
It’s really calming
I specifically listened to this song while walking along a river boardwalk in San Antonio at night. The mood, lighting, and emptiness were perfect
Ooo that really sets the tone!
Needs more rustic environments
It would have been cool if in this place they added a Traverse town music through the halls
Agreed!
I’ve walked through here many times at night, playing Traverse Town on loop!
Dude, I do the same! Really gives off those KH vibes
This reminds me of in 2017 my family took a trip to Disney and I made a slideshow of everyone's pictures and sorted them by each park and added Kingdom Hearts music that felt like it matched each park
Kingdom Hearts always had such good soundtrack for their environments! It really sets the tone
The only thing that is missing are people in red trowers and huge keys in their backs throwing ice cubes at candles.
Neat vid!
It really has a Traverse Town vibe to it.
But in my opinion, it has a bit more of Dream Drop Distance vibe than KH1. If You're planing to make another one of these, try it with the KH3D soundtrack.
I may just do that! I went with the original theme because it’s more nostalgic
I can hear the grunting and sound effects from flow-motion.
Sir, this is an outdoor shopping mall
There’s something about the traverse town theme that just hits me right in the soul
It has such a home-like feeling of a city at night. It’s quite relaxing and makes me feel comfy
Traverse Town in Real Life, craziest shit I ever seen.
For a moment, I thought this would be footage of Traverse City, MI.
Yooo The Paseo at Old Town Pasadena… I knew there was a vibe to it that was familiar. Real life traverse town. I live 10 mins away and I might visit more often now that I know it’s literally traverse town lol
I might see you there then, jamming to the Traverse Town theme. I live close by too!
Aw man, now I wanna go out at night just to immerse myself here even tho it's kinda spooky
Holy smokes, I've actually been there before, and I took an old friend out to lunch there! Granted, I've never been there at night, but yeah! I can vouch you on this: this IS the RL version of Traverse Town!
Now, if I could only find the RL version of Twilight Town...
thank you!! It really does give off Traverse Town vibes. I wish I could find a RL Twilight Town. I get nostalgic with that town too in the game
It even has a whole 3 npcs like the original!
Yep! Super accurate
Holy shit this popped up in my recommendations today and im glad i clicked it because im thoroughly entertained 🤣
I’m glad you were entertained!
Looks like the part of Riverside that has a great Christmas Display every year
if Disney needs a place for an irl kingdom hearts show...
They can just film it here 😂
Yo: veo una ciudad parecida a la de kingdom heart
Mi mente épica mente: * *poner música de Twilight Town* *

i love it, certainly gives the vibe
Thank you!
The Traverse Town vibe is definitely there
How has this world not been in any main game since 1 😩
Traverse Town was always one of my fave places in KH series. Wish it’d make a return, especially since Twilight Town did in Kh3
um, Chain of Memories?
Anyone else see this in their recommended for like 3 weeks straight and avoided watching it cuz you already knew it was gonna be a slow camera pan over this city with the Traverse Town Theme playing, but got tired of seeing it plastered all over your recommendations so you finally give in and watched it purely out of spite?
Or is it just me?
Kingdom hearts fans when they go outside
Ah yes. A town.
The town is made of town
Disney is losing the opportunity to take my money by not making Traverse Town real.
They really should make Traverse Town and Twilight Town real places in Disney theme parks. The closest we’ve got is Downtown Disney/Disney Springs.
Unfortunately, Disney only cares about popular franchises like Star Wars and Marvel which will reel in more money for them smh.
Is as close as it gets, really beautiful of a place, would be cool to visit it ya know.
Thank you! It really is nice to walk around at during the night.
Aw man! I remember this place! This is where I was transported to after my world fell into darkness.
Damn man, that sucks! Did you at least meet an anthropomorphic dog and duck there?
@@StormX6 Nah, some kid with big shoes met them instead, and they ended up going on adventures together.
Karwan Kadir Well as long as you didn't meet the tall lady in black....
I must be in another world!
This is pretty much like how Boston's Downtown / Crossing, Winthrop's /Revere's Center and Magic Kingdom feel like during the night and where there's barely any people.
okay i originally thought this was some gamehead video but this genuinely freaks me out
You should do an extension of this video 📹 😀 it felt so awesome to watch

@@StormX6 Would absolutely love to see a full length video of this matching the track!
@@StormX6 yes please make a longer version!!

I want to go there wearing a gray bodysuit and wiggling to the nobodies theme

On the Intercom: “THIS LOOKS LIKE A GOOD SPOT TO FIND SOME INGREDIENTS”
Traverse Town is just such a homey place. I’d love to live there if it were real.
Me too!!!
This is like an updated video from the one 16 years ago, i remembered watching it as a kid and nkw a full grown adult 😂❤️☝️
Looks just as empty as I remember it 👍
This was during COVID-19 lockdown, so that time was perfect for filming a “real life Traverse Town”
I could very much see a jazz band there playing the traverse town music and adding to the environment.
Oh that’s be great!
Getting Kenny G to play the theme should happen. It could be to us what the lead singer of Sliponot singing the Spongebob theme was for them.
I don’t understand how this can be so spot on and disappointing at the same time

Perfection.
**cries in joy and dies of nostalgia**
Thanks! I get so nostalgic too 😭 hits really hard for me too especially this place is in my hometown
Dude no joke I can see this looking like a RL Traverse Town
Thanks!
Till this day they say at certain times of night there you can hear a kid running around with farm animals. ‘Sip’
There, I watched the video after the 500th time it was recommended to me. And you know what? It’s exactly what I thought it was
Damn I’m sorry the algorithm kept recommending my video
Lens Crafters, my favorite KH landmark.
Ah yes, that infamous level where Sora had to fight heartless pairs of glasses.
I actaully used to live in Pasadena and know this mall well as I drove near it a lot with my lyft work. Oddly fits with the Traverse Town theme.
Ey that’s pretty good. It’s really does sound and look like traverse town.. awesome 👍
Thank you!
I would just love to visit this place^^
You can! It’s Paseo Mall in Pasadena, California
