This is without a doubt you're best vídeo so far, I loved the little skits, the one with goofy and the car made me laught super hard, keep up the great work Matt
I absolutely love these KH vids that you are doing, BIG respect from me. Because i know how much grind you have to do, in order to get those platinums. Congratulations with the KH platinum.
The Platinum was fun (although a bit grindy) but I will never get over the disappointing Hades Cup. You have 50 levels and the last boss is a big rock that does almost nothing. Seriously? At least Ice Titan and Sephiroth are also in the coliseum.
Awesome video Matt, shame you never managed to figure out whats behind that unsolvable puzzle I have an idea: Have Cloud try to solve that room switch puzzle, snarkily repeating to him "Is that the best you can do" and see how he likes it!
Glad you had fun with this one Matt. I got the Platinum on KH1 back in 2019 where I attempted this IMPOSSIBLE run: LVL 1, Proud, No Armour, No Continues, Speedster Trophy I went through hell on this one and thought it was impossible… but when I beat it… I was ON TOP OF THE WORLD. Seriously… one of my favourite platinums/games I’ve ever played
Good job on the video Matt, it was fun being in the chat while you were grinding for synthesis and the goofy car bit made me laugh so hard and loud that I coughing, anyways keep up the videos and hope you are doing well
tbh the disney partners in kh1 are strong but you need donald and goofy specifically for trinities making the disney partners kinda bad since you find a fair few trinities by just expl0oring
Great job matt this is one of my favourite games of all time. Its one of those games that its wholesome and its like having real friends. Keep up the great work matt, appreciated.
love this video! actually attempting this myself and just beat the unknown man, he kicked my ass a few times before cheesing the fight with screen pauses xD
Yo Matt, love the video as always. I’m currently working on the play myself as part of the plat comp in the community. Did you know on Ursula 1 you can use any magic it doesn’t have to correspond with the colour? It’s been recently found and it blew my mind playing this game for nearly 20 years 😂
Hi Matt, Awesome video for one of my favourite games of all time! Recently grabbed the plat for this one myself, but now I'm thinking about KH2 and the arduous task compared to KH1. I bet you're glad you did this one later on 😁
I never Platinumed a KH game except KH3 even though I played the whole series multiple times through the years 😅 I love this video and Salut to you man for this Platinum run and I guess Im Subscribing to this channel now 😁 PS: the video credit theme at 1:11:37 is such guitar heavy and music to my ears, and curious where its from 😍
56:48 I remember doing this on the OG PS2 version way back when. My neighbor struggled with this fight and I ended up beating it before he did. Hell, I redid the fight with him just to prove a point, and this was back in my late elementary days xD
Haven't started the video yet. But I'll never forget farming that damn hotel hallway in traverse town for Donald's staff. My God I'll never do that farm again. Maybe I'm unlucky but it took days :( Good job on the platinum though! It's a fun one(:
I absolutely loved this episode. I also looked up on one reddit forum and someone said it was a troll button put in by the developers and that's pretty much the only explanation honestly 😂. But Keep going with the grind
Firstly congratulations with the plat run. And second about the switch puzzle: in my MANY MANY PLAYTHROUGHS. I never saw them in the first place and i cant remember to saw it as a Child. I thought they are just walls with maybe a Treasure chest behind it but I couldn't saw that
35:22 pooh sticks is when they are all bored and just throw sticks in the river to see which one reaches the arbitrary goal first. you know the stuff you do when stuck in a forest. 52:00 simple. most people first time playing didnt know you CAN cast stop on the clock so alot of people hate this boss just cause of how his doom spell works. once you know the clock shit its not that hard. 54:40 well that and also the sheer fact that they basically ran out of colors so sephiroth and other endgame bosses have invisible health. this color bar system stopped being used by kh2 and never came back. so kh2 and on also never repeat invisible health
I 100 percent agree Guadando Nel Buio is indeed one of the best tracks in the series, along with vector to the heavens, enter the darkness, lord of the castle, darkness of the unknown and Forze Dell Oscurita
Atlantica is my favorite KH1 level :) Tip for the future, abuse your fire spell spam. Everything there dies in 1-3 fire spells and you can launch like 20 of them before running out of magic. Except you wont run out of magic, because every heartless there except for one drops a bunch of magicka bubbles. ^_^ The only tip I have for fighting Lizzo at the end is to give yourself and your whole team elixirs lmao.
25:31 interestingly from a recent theory by the community I guess? Some people speculate if in Atlantica is meant to be a magic world since everything that you need to do here is opened by magic. And melee combat feels very bad here. As well as Ursula is in her first form with the cauldron, requires magic. Weirdly it made me appreciate the world a little bit more since that theory has come out.
Just because I start focusing on another genre doesn't mean I lose interest in a previous one. You will definitely see more horror games in the future on this channel. Really interested in alone in the dark remake for example, I hope it's good
Sorry if everyone has said this, this is probably old news at this point, but that button puzzle is very beatable, you can do it while you still only have beast even. I do it every time, i had no idea so many people werent able to do it. There are also many videos of it online, but if you also just dont care about it anymore totally understandable and have a great day! Love the video :)
this issue in question wasn't about whether or not it was doable, obviously it is, you have to do it to progress the game. The point I was raising was regarding the switches that you physically cannot reach because square enix (squaresoft at the time) did not allow the player to interact with those switches which was extremely confusing for me revisiting the game and thinking I was missing a secret when in reality it's nothing at all
1:10:10 Shesez has a whole Series called "Boundry Break" where he does exactly that and he has done KH1 and KH2. He doesn't show talk about these buttons in the video unfortunatly and I can't (in my literal 5 minute search) find any other videos like it.
Yeah some viewers recommended I check out his videos during the live stream and when I did as far as I can tell he never covered the buttons so I was pretty disappointed
whatever happens Kingdom Hearts has a special place in my Gamerheart. I bought the first one just out of curiosity, cause i saw Donald and Goofy on the Cover. Best "blind pick" ever. And KH 2 is such a Masterpiece.
If you google "In case y'all were wondering what was in there." then you can see a video of somebody using a randomizer mod to reach one of the unreachable buttons in hollow bastion waterway, and they don't do anything.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, but 100%ing it on Steam(not entirely, I have yet to get the speedrun and other restriction achievements) was a miserable experience for me. It took me 70 hours to do everything I can right now and I just don't like the gameplay in the first game.
Dude this game on ps2 is just impossible for me to revisit ONLY for one reason and one only that’s not skipping cutscenes. So dying to Clayton or Riku in hallow bastion and having to re watch those cutscenes killed me growing up haha. These remixes are a godsend man.
@@a.lateralus5840 yeah on the orignal version you couldn’t skip cutscenes. They introduced it first in KH2 where as in the final mix of 1 was on ps2 let you do it but at the time was only in Japan I believe.
I could use a bit of advice from the Gawd Gamer. I'm tackling the Gummi Ship missions in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, anything I should worry about, Matt?
gummi ship is piss easy as fuck in the ps4 version. if you would like a recommendation as to which world is easiest to complete all 3 gummi ship missions for deep jungle they're pretty easy
welp time for you to platinum the rest of the series including emulator trophies for 358 and Coded but also look at the remastered extended cutscenes for them, also play the mobile game both campaigns and watch the back cover movie, hey if you can platinum KH1 and 2 and BBS, then you have what it takes to platinum the entire collection and become the ultimate keyblade master
The reason it does the guardian fight right before ansem is because I’m pretty sure canonically sora loses to it in the beginning and this is him actually being able to defeat it (I know I’m a month late but heard that and it made me question it this was my conclusion)
I probably wouldn't even consider making a video for it unless it got remastered on account of I already have the platinum and I wouldn't want to do it again unless I'd at least be getting double stack trophies out of it. The DLC however I haven't done and I would eventually like to do a video focusing on that mainly rather than the platinum.
Just listening to that you have to find the special heartless and get a rare item from them are giving me Ni no kuni wrath of the white witch flashback
yeah I was told about this trick but that's a LOT of extra time to wait when I finished everything in proud mode 50 hours ahead of time, waiting another 50 hours makes no sense might as well start another run
in my mind the only race that matters to win is the first one and if you don't win it then it don't matter how many times you beat him afterwards cuz he won the one that matters. It's a matter of my saiyan pride.
The very specific reason I don’t use the Disney world characters unless I have to is cuz they often try to take my kills and I have lucky strike. Also Donald and goofy get lucky strike half the Disney allies don’t
Kh3 dlc risk taker trophy is life changing. Necessitates a separate hamstrung run. Every win is huge. The data org are hard without restrictions. With restrictions...oof
yup, sora's mom is literally never mentioned again and Sora never once makes it a point to check in on her and let her know her son is alive for the rest of the entire franchise. It's pretty fucked up when you think about it.
Probs they made Alice a princess cos Ariel would’ve been a logistical nightmare elongating the Atlantica world story even further. Which would’ve been pretty sick actually now I think about it.
I have plat cs1 3 and 4 I still need to go back to 2 and reverie games are amazing but Boi u miss a couple things u gotta do it all again for some trophies
I'm in need of halp then, no matter what I do even reaching lv68 somehow the final boss in CS1 always outsppeds|damages. I wrote down his patterns and all that a few times I got him low but then he just S-breaks and gg. Rest of trophies are just grind battles|cooking.
@Meowmixery level 68 is too low makes the fight rng based grind up to level 72 use the strength/speed buff twice it'll stack and deal more damage on the counters
I played the hell out this game as a teen and I didn't know how the beginning choices affected my playthrough. Thanks for explaining. I plan on diving into the trilogy later on. 🙂
I uh… kinda make it a point to humiliate Riku on destiny islands in the sword combat and racing cuz I had such a hard time with him as a kid and now I know his moves a little too well
Also, best start for Proud mode is definitely staff and give up sword. I’m pretty sure you can get the platinum in a single run (on the PS4) if you don’t change any of your equipment and beat it within the time limit.
So happy to see the button saga get included.
This is without a doubt you're best vídeo so far, I loved the little skits, the one with goofy and the car made me laught super hard, keep up the great work Matt
Which part is it? Timestamp?

Congrats, Matt! Was a blast checking in on your progress via livestream along the way. This game is such a fun and nostalgic Platinum.

Nooooo, is that the solution fr fr???? 😢😂😢😂 #Wishbone
Looking forward to more! Great video as always Matt!
Glad you had fun with this one Matt. I got the Platinum on KH1 back in 2019 where I attempted this IMPOSSIBLE run:
LVL 1, Proud, No Armour, No Continues, Speedster Trophy
I went through hell on this one and thought it was impossible… but when I beat it… I was ON TOP OF THE WORLD. Seriously… one of my favourite platinums/games I’ve ever played
Since when was I a channel member? I'm not complaining lol. Nice vid matt
Good job on the video Matt, it was fun being in the chat while you were grinding for synthesis and the goofy car bit made me laugh so hard and loud that I coughing, anyways keep up the videos and hope you are doing well
it was fun having you there, hope you are well too. Try not to cough to death
I'm happy I got to experince all the Kingdom Hearts games through your plat videos lol! Good series you've done with them!
tbh the disney partners in kh1 are strong but you need donald and goofy specifically for trinities making the disney partners kinda bad since you find a fair few trinities by just expl0oring
i named the raft "riku u gay" lmao
Great job matt this is one of my favourite games of all time. Its one of those games that its wholesome and its like having real friends. Keep up the great work matt, appreciated.
love this video! actually attempting this myself and just beat the unknown man, he kicked my ass a few times before cheesing the fight with screen pauses xD
Yo Matt, love the video as always. I’m currently working on the play myself as part of the plat comp in the community.
Did you know on Ursula 1 you can use any magic it doesn’t have to correspond with the colour? It’s been recently found and it blew my mind playing this game for nearly 20 years 😂
Hi Matt,
Awesome video for one of my favourite games of all time!
Recently grabbed the plat for this one myself, but now I'm thinking about KH2 and the arduous task compared to KH1. I bet you're glad you did this one later on 😁
I never Platinumed a KH game except KH3 even though I played the whole series multiple times through the years 😅 I love this video and Salut to you man for this Platinum run and I guess Im Subscribing to this channel now 😁
PS: the video credit theme at 1:11:37 is such guitar heavy and music to my ears, and curious where its from 😍
Troublemaker from DNF Duel
Thanks very much man 😁👍🏼@empoleon395-p2t
A masterpiece youtube channel playing a masterpiece game, this is gonna be an absolute banger
i can say this matt you helped me get trophys i have missed and i want to say thank you so much
56:48 I remember doing this on the OG PS2 version way back when. My neighbor struggled with this fight and I ended up beating it before he did. Hell, I redid the fight with him just to prove a point, and this was back in my late elementary days xD
These videos are a ton of fun. I wonder if you'll also tackle Dream Drop Distance and KH3~
I had platinumed this game aswell quite a while ago, and I can agree with you so much here. Kh1 was one of my favourite games to platinum
Haven't started the video yet. But I'll never forget farming that damn hotel hallway in traverse town for Donald's staff. My God I'll never do that farm again. Maybe I'm unlucky but it took days :(
Good job on the platinum though! It's a fun one(:

Firstly congratulations with the plat run. And second about the switch puzzle: in my MANY MANY PLAYTHROUGHS. I never saw them in the first place and i cant remember to saw it as a Child. I thought they are just walls with maybe a Treasure chest behind it but I couldn't saw that
The puzzle is solvable, there are tons of videos!
Ohhhhh baby I can’t wait to watch this when I get home
Congratulations Matt you really deserve that platinum trophy.
35:22 pooh sticks is when they are all bored and just throw sticks in the river to see which one reaches the arbitrary goal first. you know the stuff you do when stuck in a forest.
52:00 simple. most people first time playing didnt know you CAN cast stop on the clock so alot of people hate this boss just cause of how his doom spell works. once you know the clock shit its not that hard.
54:40 well that and also the sheer fact that they basically ran out of colors so sephiroth and other endgame bosses have invisible health. this color bar system stopped being used by kh2 and never came back. so kh2 and on also never repeat invisible health

1:03:01 "Put a cork in it Zane!"
Sora realy lost his whole family yet he's out here have magical adventures with goofy and Donald is crazy to me my man dose not love his family 😂😂
Missed the live stream but I’ll be watching this one- congrats Matt 💪😎
one of my fave videos of yours so far! your personality and love for this game really shines through! congrats on the plat goat 🏆
You're not the first person to say that so seeing that really means a lot 😊
This video was so entertaining to watch. I also hope you go back to doing horror games aswell since outlast trials came out recently keep it up bro
Just because I start focusing on another genre doesn't mean I lose interest in a previous one. You will definitely see more horror games in the future on this channel. Really interested in alone in the dark remake for example, I hope it's good

YUHHH
Caught up with the bits of the streams I missed. Got me back into the games! Now 34 trophies into my Proud mode run
You got this! Keep it up
Congrats Matt also can you tell from which kingdom hearts i should start if I want to get into the series?
I'll tell you what I tell everyone else, if you want to get into a new franchise always play them in the orderthe games released
@@GawdlikeMatt ok thx and gl with next plat
1:10:20 it’s called “boundary break”, a video series on YT
already checked his vid, he didn't talk about the buttons unfortunately

This was my first ever platinum, I love this game so much
I love this guy
I just noticed that he genuinely started tweaking at 23:28
I'm glad you enjoyed it, but 100%ing it on Steam(not entirely, I have yet to get the speedrun and other restriction achievements) was a miserable experience for me. It took me 70 hours to do everything I can right now and I just don't like the gameplay in the first game.
Hell yeah! Another one in the books!
Is that a TM Gold Match on the shelf in the back?
How come you didn't platinum them in order
This was a W I barely realized I have never completed the 1st game so I started up a save file today
that switch in hallow might of been open in one of the ps2 game...
Dude this game on ps2 is just impossible for me to revisit ONLY for one reason and one only that’s not skipping cutscenes. So dying to Clayton or Riku in hallow bastion and having to re watch those cutscenes killed me growing up haha. These remixes are a godsend man.
Was the fact that you can’t skip cutscenes in the Og version because of limitations ?
@@a.lateralus5840 yeah on the orignal version you couldn’t skip cutscenes. They introduced it first in KH2 where as in the final mix of 1 was on ps2 let you do it but at the time was only in Japan I believe.

Has matt done metal: hellsinger yet because if not, highly recommend
1:01:48 lmao . I gotta pay attention to the next stream XD
Dream drop distance is going to be a grind for you because of the dead child soldiers you need to get all to max affinity with
I gotta get the place ready for the GAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMEEEESSSSSSS 😂😂😂😂😂😂 as a OG KH fan this is the correct way to say games 😂
So wait kh1 kh2 and bbs all have their own platinums seperate from the final mix collection?
that is correct
That’s so neat I didn’t know that
The reason it does the guardian fight right before ansem is because I’m pretty sure canonically sora loses to it in the beginning and this is him actually being able to defeat it (I know I’m a month late but heard that and it made me question it this was my conclusion)
Darkside* not guardian my bad
Are you going to do a KH3 platinum video?

Hey matt nice streams i missed the last couple what ganes next
There is a bubble there to the u under the switch
In kh3 you can also fight the titans as Disney Bosses , then you’re right Davy jones is the only Disney boss
I see he’s platinuming peak 🔥🔥
I did my playthrough of undefeated, unchanging armor and speedster by playing the game over 100 hours, the ingame time resets to 00:00 after 99:59
yeah I was told about this trick but that's a LOT of extra time to wait when I finished everything in proud mode 50 hours ahead of time, waiting another 50 hours makes no sense might as well start another run
As many retries you did with Leon I wish you did the race against Riku to name the boat too.
in my mind the only race that matters to win is the first one and if you don't win it then it don't matter how many times you beat him afterwards cuz he won the one that matters. It's a matter of my saiyan pride.
@@GawdlikeMatt I get that.
The gate puzzle is possible. Mrreign shows it
Dude, i never noticed how sora never, ever gave a flting fuck about his mother, ever again.
The very specific reason I don’t use the Disney world characters unless I have to is cuz they often try to take my kills and I have lucky strike. Also Donald and goofy get lucky strike half the Disney allies don’t
@@abyssofsorrowanddespair2936 that's actually a totally fair point that makes sense. Well said

I loved this video, and seeing plats go ding is so satisfying.. I almost have FF0 And trails of cold steel 1|3 :3
I have plat cs1 3 and 4 I still need to go back to 2 and reverie games are amazing but Boi u miss a couple things u gotta do it all again for some trophies
I'm in need of halp then, no matter what I do even reaching lv68 somehow the final boss in CS1 always outsppeds|damages. I wrote down his patterns and all that a few times I got him low but then he just S-breaks and gg. Rest of trophies are just grind battles|cooking.
@Meowmixery yeah the robot fights are the worst in cs1
Once it's done rest is a breeze, with CS3 I need cooking done and finishing every quest then plat. Any tips for cs1 boss? :3
@Meowmixery level 68 is too low makes the fight rng based grind up to level 72 use the strength/speed buff twice it'll stack and deal more damage on the counters
Absolutely love the videos, can we get a KH3 Critical Mode Platinum pleaaaaseeee!!
Wait… we never really stopped to think what happened to his mom?!?
Peak Game...Peak Video... Peak Matt...Peak Platinum what you want more ? 🎉
I played the hell out this game as a teen and I didn't know how the beginning choices affected my playthrough. Thanks for explaining. I plan on diving into the trilogy later on. 🙂
2:39 those talking choices matter!?
yes! and they're rather important
little did he know that no one knew how to do the button puzle?
I uh… kinda make it a point to humiliate Riku on destiny islands in the sword combat and racing cuz I had such a hard time with him as a kid and now I know his moves a little too well
I swear I solved that button puzzle lol🤣
Bro I just finished platinuming this game
This game is hard. I’m afraid to try to beat sephiroth in proud , I feel like just starting a new game on easiest
I've done that puzzle before
Leon is not hard at all, but RNG can be your best friend or worst enemy
This game having aerith game me ptsd on what happened to her on final fantasy
On the PS3 version, you gotta do a separate run for each difficulty 💔
Also, best start for Proud mode is definitely staff and give up sword.
I’m pretty sure you can get the platinum in a single run (on the PS4) if you don’t change any of your equipment and beat it within the time limit.
