This has been a great listen so far. My only criticism of is that the only way to tell we’re getting to the next level of the iceberg is through timestamps. Great work otherwise
While I understand some fans want Kingdom Hearts to "grow up," but the Disney stuff helps make Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts, and the series would lose some of what makes it what it is if it was gutted.
New disney propertys make it possible to satisfy both sides of argument. Have classic "kiddy" disney worlds from beginning and gradually move into more adult propertys like star wars etc.
@@hugazaka5127 Honestly, I hope we still keep that "kiddy" aspect, thematically it would be great since that would spread the message about growing up but still keep a part of your childhood and hope. Also, I don't know about others but I don't want SW in KH.
@@dikastederook6380 i feel you, SW + KH sounds wrong until you think that both worlds use light and dark as universal force of nature they can tap into. Also SW has old evil dudes gaslighting young carriers of light to control or posess them. Maybe Palpatines studies of the dark side combined with ansem's reports of dark could be the missing link in something cool
The funniest thing about the shipping employee that leaked the game, that happened 7 weeks before the game was supposed to launch and iirc he sold 13 copies of the game
Know what theory isn't even shown in the iceberg? The Foretellers lived in pre-modern-era Twilight Town, shown by the heavy unicorn theme of the abandoned mansion. Unicorn imagery is all over that place even in the backyard you never get to go to. Feels very intentional. Plus, the descriptions for the items around it are weird. The broken model castle, the shattered table that could "only have been caused by an explosion", the fact that the cellar is equipped with a whole data world which ties back to KHUX. I never hear anyone talk about the heavy unicorn theme of that mansion. Until KHX, it seemed so random despite clearly being intentional. There is no explanation for why this MANSION is randomly on the outskirts of the town, why it's abandoned, why there's a huge hole in the town wall that leads directly to the mansion, why the house seems *destroyed*, not just old (again, model castle, table), or why it feels intentionally themed with the pillars outside, the big statue in the back, the artwork on the walls, and the bust in the study. The bust is the only thing that has even the remotest relevance considering it says it is staring at the floor that disappears. Every KH-original place has had story significance in some way or another, but this mansion is just...a place where plot seems to happen. That's all. It is a very "back of the mind" setting for how commonly we end up there.
I think you stretch too far into this. In KH3 there is no hole in the wall. The mansion was used by the Organisation first then by DIZ. I bet they had some beef over there and broke the table. An explosion would cause more damage to the building then a table and some other shit. The unicorn is just symbole of the noble rich people. Maybe a family emblem. The mansion is also not randomly there. You never see mansions in the city or do you? They are always aside from the city. The unicorn symbol is maybe from one of the keyblade holder from the mobile game version.
@@rekual5051 I'm just stating what I see. If you examine the broken table, it says "Only an explosion could have done this" or something to that effect. I agree that an explosion would damage more than just a table, but that's the flavor text in the game, so that's what I'm going off of. As for "just randomly there", it's in the middle of the damn backwoods outside the city limits. That is very much so "just randomly there" when it is surrounded by dense woodland only feet outside of the city wall. "The unicorn symbol is maybe from one of the keyblade holder from the mobile game version." Yeah, that's...what I said lol Ira might have had some involvement with that place.
The story of the Union games takes place in DayBreak town. After the events at the end of Union χ, the world falls to ruin and is flooded. We then get to see it again as Scala Ad Caelum. Ephemer (from Union χ) is the one who lead the rebuilding effort to turn it into Scala Ad Caelum. In fact, you get more info in it in the KH3 Re:Mind DLC and get to see the clock tower from DayBreak town in the underwater section of the fight with Xehenort in the base game.
You're part on Sanctuary is incorrect. The lyrics are - So many ups and downs [Reversed] My heart's a battleground I need two emotions [Reversed] But, I need more affection than you know [Reversed] I need two emotions [Reversed]
20:55 honestly I gotta agree, it has some of the best story out of the entire series in my opinion and its my favorite part of the lore. I really hope we get 3D remakes of them cuz they'd be such a blast to play in the graphics that Missing Link has
I appreciate all the facts in this video and was surprised by how many I didn't know. But the structure definitely could use some work for your next iceberg one. It was hard to follow at times like when you went from 7/11 Keyblades, to deep jungle, to Super groupies, to secret reports without so much as a pause. 😂 Looking forward to your next one though.
Great vid! Very informative. I live KH. I pretty much knew everything but it was still fun to watch. Ppl like you keep the community alive while we eagerly await KH4
this is an amazing video, you did such a great job!! i never realized the animatic fully released with voice acting & music and it was so cool to watch, it def has tons of that old disney charm. and i knew about the used twilight town pods but MAN i need to know more than ever... and ohhh my god the theory that yozora is the story if riku got the keyblade initially??? ack. i'm hooked. i want it to be the case so badly. great work again on the video my guy, i would absolutely eat up any more videos like this and loved the whole thing from start to finish so much
Goofy: "Well, I'm Goofy!" Riku: "Well, you sure are." Let's be honest, if anyone of us met someone like Goofy without knowing who he was prior would have the same response Riku did.
31:24 if you rewatch the last scene where he has the longer hair, while he connects with Riku-Replica's heart, it actually ends in a way that is very similar to "dropping" in DDD - pose, sound effect and all, which is very intriguing.
I respect this, but the biggest issue with KH3 is the gameplay. They focus more on it being flashy and cool looking, rather then an in depth system. Yes you have a ton of different options VISUALLY, but all your techniques do the same thing at a fundamental level. Magic for example, in KH2 each spell had a unique purpose in combat. In KH3 each of your spells is just an attack that you shoot out. In KH2 there are bosses or mushroom 13 that actually requires you to use specific summons or drive forms with certain magic, making everything you have useful at some point. In KH3 you can beat the entire game just using kingdom key, or you can stick to the same spells for everything, or the same shotlock for everything, because everything you have essentially does the same thing against enemies. Most moves in your kit are just big AOE blasts that take out all enemies and it doesnt ever matter who the enemy is. Trust me I want to love KH3 but it severely underperforms in comparison.
@@ProdigyxCDkingdom hearts has many secrets and lore the scene with girl in the beach at kingdom hearts 1 I think is kiria nomura might be trying to bring old concepts and ideas he wasn't able to in kingdom hearts 1 to kingdom hearts 4 because I don't think nomura planned far ahead to kingdom hearts 4
4:08 I'm pro remix order with the caveat that you should consider actually actually playing Days or watching a longplay or something. I feel like the most common orignal playthrough was just from kh1 to kh2. CoM and Days do similar things for the main characters of kh2, and both or sorta optional with how the story is presented in kh2 as each protag loses their memory of the game. The sorta tragic prologue of kh2 isn't undermined in anyway from playing Days first, if anything its strengthened with the additional context.
Kingdom Hearts without Disney is not Kingdom Hearts. The people who say that "KH needs to grow up and be more mature because I grew up and I'm more mature" need to shut the hell up, you're not the center of the universe.
@peefromtmvVerum Rex is kingdom hearts. Nomura said when he was thinking of making the next KH game he couldn’t decide to make KH4 or Verum Rex first. So Verum Rex will be a kingdom hearts game, not it’s own thing
The comedy comes when the serious and mature, is broken by the silly light hearted stuff. Then a synthesis happens when the Disney characters spout out some philosophical bs, and your actually touched by what they said. It's the the straight man and the whack job combo it's perfect.
@peefromtmvWay to move the goal posts. You first said Verum Rex isn’t a Kingdom Hearts game, I then clarified that the devs said it was from interviews, then you make it about how it won’t have Disney elements in it. Let me tell you something, there is never going to be a Kingdom Hearts game with no Disney in it whatsoever. If that was the case, Days and BBS wouldn’t have had Disney worlds, but they did, so it’s never being dropped. Doesn’t mean the future of the series won’t be darker than it was in the past, though.
So, idk if you knew this by saying, "When the company still went as squaresoft," but the company was founded as Squaresoft. They changed the name to Square Enix after Squaresoft bought out the competitor company, known as Enix. They merged their 2 companys and became square enix, though i will always juat call them square
Kingdom Hearts history is one of my favorite topics. Thank you for this! Great job :) If it’s not too much, can you make a timestamp for the music used in the video? I enjoyed the song played around tier 2 and liked to hear it again.
This was a great listen, and I think you mentioned it, but Tetsuya Nomura has explicitly said the world isn’t related to The World Ends with You and is instead a different world named Quattro.
great content. but i would love to see an image of the iceberg you're referencing, as well as maybe a more pronounced title slide for each entry when you're switching to a new entry
There's 3 versions of KH1 all with completely different stats. The biggest difference from the International version to Final Mix is that they buffed bosses like Riku-Ansem and nerfed Keyblades like Olympia.
11:28: So I avoided all spoilers and did not take myself offline. How? Anytime I saw any videos or thumbnails or screenshots related to KHIII, I assumed it was fake or nodded, and I didn't click.
While I don't agree with the tier placements of all the things mentioned in this video, it was still very well made and interesting to watch/learn some new things. I really thought I'd know everything talked about and I was definitely wrong lol.
For those that want square enix to continue kingdom hearts without Disney. How many times must we teach you this lesson?! Kingdom Hearts (the name, scenario, story and all original characters) is solely owned by Disney.
Tbh modern Disney sucks lol. Istg if we get a Wish world, I'll go insane. I don't blame people who wants KH to abandon the Disney side besides keeping a couple of characters, but they don't know that it's literally impossible unfortunately...
end of pain + simple and clean backwards wasnt really dove into, but still great. i watched it until the end. i came up with a new theory thanks to that.
exactly. i have been born with the burden of this trap so that i evolve to my fullest. im honored to meet a mortal that can see through my facade...@peefromtmv
55:03 just on a side note- it's not called Multiple Personality Disorder anymore, it's Dissociative Identity Disorder, and it is generally understood to not form in adulthood. there's a lot of stigma around it that the community deals with, so it's maybe not the best thing to lightly suggest that he's dealing with/developed.
I'm very sorry about that 🙏 Thanks for informing me about this. Thats my mistake for not doing more research about the topic when recording that segment.
The "he was ansem" bit in sanctuary is a stretch, definitely wasnt intentional "I need more attention than you know" was intentional backmasking though
I want a little less disney and a little more Final Fantasy. Definitely want treasure planet as a world to appear, and want to know what happened to Cloud and Sephiroth after their fight in kh2. Oh and Zack still owes Aqua a date
A theory I have is that Sora is in the Video Game version of Quadratum where Verum Rex takes place, and Riku is goi g to a different version of Quadratum where Sora isn't.
what if kh3 removed that one part of the cutscene where rex mentions magia and aegis is because other names were decided for the two characters and they didn't want to rerecord the lines?
Not really? I think everyone knows what an iceberg is, so just cutting to the good stuff will save everyone's time in the long run. The genre of videos are basically just a list of facts....
Kingdom hearts birth by sleep and part 3 10/10. I never forget Aqua giving up her life or freedom not sure if the darkness was hell to save her friend. I waited years to find out what happen to her. Good old Mickey Mouse saved her, was just magic.
I played days on the ds first in any games of the series actually. I had no idea who tf sora was at the time. Quite the experience. You could play up to bbs in any order, cus theyre a bit more like puzzle pieces until the later games
I remember when my parents scrapped by some money for a used GameStop ps2 with 1 free game. Mom recommended Kingdom hearts “it looks cute”. Didn’t have a memory card 😂 Boy, what a journey its been
A lot of times I didn't like the direction this series took, and maybe KH3 left a bad taste in my mouth, even though it had its moments, but man... I have a soft spot for Kingdom Hearts. Great work on this video
On the topic of the order the series should be played I'm gonna throw a hot take in the mix. Both release and remix orders aren't ideal. Play them in chronological order: Birth By Sleep, KH1, Re:com, Days, KH2, Re:Coded, Dream Drop, Fragmentary Passage, KH3. Yes Fragmentary Passage is out of place but it starts off as a story being told by Mickey after Dream Drop so it still fits where it was originally released (at least in my opinion)
Technically it wouldn't even be 358/2. It would've been Coded if you're trying to go off of release dates. But since it wasn't a full experience and was slowly being updated it's an even bigger point of contention .
I want off of Nomura’s wild ride… Jokes aside, after 3 (and the wait for it), I think I’ve kinda burnt out my love for KH. I grew up and got into different franchises. Buuuut… There’s just something about this dumb series that drags me back in. Probably the music.
Oof I remember having to unfollow anything KH related online and just overall avoid the internet when KH3 leaked. I've never seen so many people go feral with leaks
Let's see some Disney Channel/Disney XD in Kingdom Hearts Kim Possible, Phineas and Ferb, The Owl House, Amphibia, Gravity Falls All of these shows have lots of potential to be explored in Kingdom Hearts. Hell maybe they could all be explored in their own game with nothing but Disney cartoons from Channel and CD!
To be fair for tier 1 if you poke a bear you’ll wake it meaning if you constantly look for details or leaks for the game they will pop up I never looked up and avoided all keywords for kingdom hearts and spoiler videos I love that this game makes me think extensively to figure it out I will not ruin it for myself this is the first time I’m hearing of leaks about this game that’s how committed I am
That was a quality iceberg man most of the time these things are bloated with flat out myths and lies and usually the person doesn't have much to say about a lot of subjects.
We literally know about Disney's involvement since KH1. Why do you think "Disney Interactive" is in the opening credits? We know how many different ideas they had for KH1: Mickey as the protagonist, a boy who fights a witch, being like Mario 64, and Playing as other Disney Heroes saving their respective Princesses.
I don't like all the Noctis references litter all over Kingdom Hearts. *First Riku's clothes *Mickey's clothes (Man this one was so disappointing) *Riku's new keyblade *Yozora *Yozora's clothes *Yozora's friends *Sora's kingdom heart 4 hairstyle This is getting to be waaaaaaaaaay too much. Nomura needs to let this die already!
@@truthspreader1996 Then don't pay attention to the references? It's really the only Final Fantasy representation that we'll have left besides Moggles and spells if they don't decide to include the classic characters like Cloud and Squall going forward. The creator already confirmed in an interview that Final Fantasy is losing it's place in this series, so just having references to it with similar character designs is pretty neat....
@@Key-Knight87 Its kind of hard to pay attention to the story or the series when there shoving (only) Noctis references in your face. Nomura is really trying to make him unforgettable.
The order of 358 and KH2 is literally just because of the HD bundles. The 1.5 bundle was KH1, ReCoM, and 358, while the 2.5 bundle was KH2, BBS, and ReCoded. So it's literally only in this order because Square just slapped the first bundle in first, then the 2nd bundle. It has absolutely nothing to do with play order and KH2 should always be played first.
Sorry, but those play orders are blatantly wrong; it should be KH1 into KH2 into KHCOM into KH365/2 days and then revert to release order. Trust me, having more questions then answers; at least, in this particular case; makes for a much more fun and satisfying experience. And is more along the lines of the Sora experience. (If you know, you know.) The questions and mystery were a part of the fun of Kingdom Hearts, especially in that order; right up until KH3...
This has been a great listen so far. My only criticism of is that the only way to tell we’re getting to the next level of the iceberg is through timestamps. Great work otherwise
While I understand some fans want Kingdom Hearts to "grow up," but the Disney stuff helps make Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts, and the series would lose some of what makes it what it is if it was gutted.
kh4 seems to have leaned more into the final fantasy side graphics wise so maybe that's where it will change though i really like it the way it is now
New disney propertys make it possible to satisfy both sides of argument. Have classic "kiddy" disney worlds from beginning and gradually move into more adult propertys like star wars etc.
@@hugazaka5127 Honestly, I hope we still keep that "kiddy" aspect, thematically it would be great since that would spread the message about growing up but still keep a part of your childhood and hope. Also, I don't know about others but I don't want SW in KH.
@@dikastederook6380 i feel you, SW + KH sounds wrong until you think that both worlds use light and dark as universal force of nature they can tap into.

Yes.

Know what theory isn't even shown in the iceberg? The Foretellers lived in pre-modern-era Twilight Town, shown by the heavy unicorn theme of the abandoned mansion. Unicorn imagery is all over that place even in the backyard you never get to go to. Feels very intentional. Plus, the descriptions for the items around it are weird. The broken model castle, the shattered table that could "only have been caused by an explosion", the fact that the cellar is equipped with a whole data world which ties back to KHUX.

In The monsters inc world, they should've went with Soras 1st design... Would've been epic
I’m going to tell my kids this was COM.
I want a little less disney and a little more Final Fantasy. Definitely want treasure planet as a world to appear, and want to know what happened to Cloud and Sephiroth after their fight in kh2. Oh and Zack still owes Aqua a date
A theory I have is that Sora is in the Video Game version of Quadratum where Verum Rex takes place, and Riku is goi g to a different version of Quadratum where Sora isn't.
what if kh3 removed that one part of the cutscene where rex mentions magia and aegis is because other names were decided for the two characters and they didn't want to rerecord the lines?
Xehanort. Master of Masters. There, I explained KH.
The video is great but it doesn’t qualify as an Iceberg video without the iconic Iceberg picture and all the topics laid out by level of obscurity.
Not really? I think everyone knows what an iceberg is, so just cutting to the good stuff will save everyone's time in the long run. The genre of videos are basically just a list of facts....
Kingdom hearts birth by sleep and part 3 10/10. I never forget Aqua giving up her life or freedom not sure if the darkness was hell to save her friend. I waited years to find out what happen to her. Good old Mickey Mouse saved her, was just magic.
Man, I love Kingdom Hearts 😭
Tetsuwa. 🤣🤣🤣
It's Tetsuya. Yuh. You had one job.
I begged my family to get vcast but i didn't have a phone and phones weren't big for us haha
I have question if laurium key wield where is his key
I played days on the ds first in any games of the series actually. I had no idea who tf sora was at the time. Quite the experience. You could play up to bbs in any order, cus theyre a bit more like puzzle pieces until the later games
I just recently obtained the KH3 Alba and Ater chess set. It was the best $700 I’ve ever spent!
It's not even playable...
I remember when my parents scrapped by some money for a used GameStop ps2 with 1 free game. Mom recommended Kingdom hearts “it looks cute”. Didn’t have a memory card 😂
Boy, what a journey its been
A lot of times I didn't like the direction this series took, and maybe KH3 left a bad taste in my mouth, even though it had its moments, but man... I have a soft spot for Kingdom Hearts. Great work on this video
On the topic of the order the series should be played I'm gonna throw a hot take in the mix. Both release and remix orders aren't ideal. Play them in chronological order:
Birth By Sleep, KH1, Re:com, Days, KH2, Re:Coded, Dream Drop, Fragmentary Passage, KH3.
Yes Fragmentary Passage is out of place but it starts off as a story being told by Mickey after Dream Drop so it still fits where it was originally released (at least in my opinion)
Technically it wouldn't even be 358/2. It would've been Coded if you're trying to go off of release dates. But since it wasn't a full experience and was slowly being updated it's an even bigger point of contention .
1 million views, I'm calling it
of cOURSE the kingdom hearts themed hotel room in real life has canon significance
Dog and a Duck XD But youre right, the way the game is going has little place for such things.
I want off of Nomura’s wild ride…
Jokes aside, after 3 (and the wait for it), I think I’ve kinda burnt out my love for KH. I grew up and got into different franchises. Buuuut…
There’s just something about this dumb series that drags me back in. Probably the music.
More 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥content
was that a just a pancake reference ?!!!! XD
They are both there in japan. 1 in shibuya and 1 in front of the government building. Both in Tokyo:)
Oof I remember having to unfollow anything KH related online and just overall avoid the internet when KH3 leaked. I've never seen so many people go feral with leaks
No mention of my boy Luxord?
Let's see some Disney Channel/Disney XD in Kingdom Hearts
Kim Possible, Phineas and Ferb, The Owl House, Amphibia, Gravity Falls
All of these shows have lots of potential to be explored in Kingdom Hearts. Hell maybe they could all be explored in their own game with nothing but Disney cartoons from Channel and CD!
Calling Smash a fighting game always grosses me out but enjoying the video so far.
Nice thumbnail
To be fair for tier 1 if you poke a bear you’ll wake it meaning if you constantly look for details or leaks for the game they will pop up I never looked up and avoided all keywords for kingdom hearts and spoiler videos I love that this game makes me think extensively to figure it out I will not ruin it for myself this is the first time I’m hearing of leaks about this game that’s how committed I am
The audio balancing is off throughout most of the video
That was a quality iceberg man most of the time these things are bloated with flat out myths and lies and usually the person doesn't have much to say about a lot of subjects.
Oney loves 8 crazy nights
Cool
Tfw I have a 50+ hour save on 0.2😂
One of the best games ever made
I never got to see the show pilot, low-key still regret it
So watch it..
@@damienkun8786 can't find it
@@joelquintanilla917 there's a reupload by MarKreations KH
Hi, great,👋🏻😎 i wish for KH4, KH5, KH6, KH7, KH8, KH9, KH10👍🏻😎
Kingdom hearts French fries?
I love the video man, but I’m getting blasted with 5/6 adds every 5 min.
honestly, i absolutely hate the kh fan base. which is sad in my opinion since i grew up with kh 1 and 2.
Like number 500😊
Part 2
We literally know about Disney's involvement since KH1. Why do you think "Disney Interactive" is in the opening credits? We know how many different ideas they had for KH1: Mickey as the protagonist, a boy who fights a witch, being like Mario 64, and Playing as other Disney Heroes saving their respective Princesses.
I don't like all the Noctis references litter all over Kingdom Hearts.
*First Riku's clothes
*Mickey's clothes (Man this one was so disappointing)
*Riku's new keyblade
*Yozora
*Yozora's clothes
*Yozora's friends
*Sora's kingdom heart 4 hairstyle
This is getting to be waaaaaaaaaay too much. Nomura needs to let this die already!
Sora and Noctis are his 2 most favourite characters. It was comming always.
@peefromtmv And it's still annoying as the day is long.
@@truthspreader1996 Then don't pay attention to the references? It's really the only Final Fantasy representation that we'll have left besides Moggles and spells if they don't decide to include the classic characters like Cloud and Squall going forward. The creator already confirmed in an interview that Final Fantasy is losing it's place in this series, so just having references to it with similar character designs is pretty neat....
@@Key-Knight87 Its kind of hard to pay attention to the story or the series when there shoving (only) Noctis references in your face. Nomura is really trying to make him unforgettable.
The order of 358 and KH2 is literally just because of the HD bundles. The 1.5 bundle was KH1, ReCoM, and 358, while the 2.5 bundle was KH2, BBS, and ReCoded. So it's literally only in this order because Square just slapped the first bundle in first, then the 2nd bundle. It has absolutely nothing to do with play order and KH2 should always be played first.
First?
Sorry, but those play orders are blatantly wrong; it should be KH1 into KH2 into KHCOM into KH365/2 days and then revert to release order. Trust me, having more questions then answers; at least, in this particular case; makes for a much more fun and satisfying experience. And is more along the lines of the Sora experience. (If you know, you know.)
The questions and mystery were a part of the fun of Kingdom Hearts, especially in that order; right up until KH3...
They should've went with SE new engine.. would've nade the game less trash . Jus a bit.
