Kingdom Hearts is a series that started with a small conversation on an elevator and now has bloomed to one of Square-Enix's biggest franchises, with almost a dozen full games available, not including the remixed versions as well. Who knew a game about swinging keys with Disney and Final Fantasy characters would be so engaging?

Final Mix ended up adding several new abilities, a brand new difficulty, couple of new weapons and several new Heartless. And for whatever reason, some existing heartless got new color schemes.



I'll be going for a Proud mode run. The current plan is to beat the game, beat the optional bosses, find all the dalmatians and get the ultima keyblade. Maybe adding more as I go along. I'm also trying to keep the video to around 30 minutes or less, since the files are gonna be a little bigger than I've ever messed with before. Gonna try to stick to about three-four people to a call total since the screw ups in the beginning certainly didn't help me in the long run! With school, it's gonna be rough finding time to get all the recording and editing I need but I'll try to get two-three updates a week whenever I got some ready to go. You can keep up with updates through my twitter.

Also for the sake of things, let's keep spoiler talk to a minimum, or at the very least try not to mention anything past Hollow Bastion first trip. Most of the Disney Worlds don't really bring much so they're all free game. If you wanna talk about the series where it's at now, check out the Kingdom Hearts General in games. If you wanna see how far your wallet can take you, there's also the Kingdom Hearts Unchained X thread as well.

Honestly I'm hoping to get each world done in each video but later ones do get more confusing, even with editing. Let's see how that ends up in the long run.

Are you going to do the gummi ship missions too and share the pain with everyone?

I've been upgrading the ship in between episodes so maybe??? I mean I've played worse for the sake of an LP in the past before.

You learn a lot when doing LPs, especially when something goes horribly wrong on your end and you're trying to fix it mid-recording. Good stuff.

Finishing up Tarzan boy by saving a bunch of gorillas and giving Clayton a less brutal death. Also learning just how good the Keyblade abilities are in KH1.

Caught up on this over the last week or so, thank you for reminding me that I bought a copy of Dream Drop Distance a couple years ago and never played it. Is it good?

I feel the early worlds are kind of lackluster (and it took me a while to adjust to flowmotion as a mechanic) but I thought it was okay by the end of it. Didn't do the optional bosses so I don't know how they fight. Just remember to cycle between your Spirits to get good abilities and not be stuck with crummy ones like I did early on in my run.

Also I haven't forgotten about the LP, just been real busy with classes as well as personal things. I got the files ready for the next several updates, just need time to put it together.

Got some updates readied up. Still need to encode one more video but I'll finally have some time later in the week to get more in. Enjoy some Riku time.

Feeling good with these updates, even if Agrabah is kind of crap all around. Genie's pretty alright, though.

More frustrating than figuring out a brand new headset, it's time to explore the Cave of Wonders. But first, we gotta calm down this tiger head...

here's a second TIPZ N TRIX! The monkey statues in the treasure room become activated after you drop the door to Jafar open and let you get blasted up to the remaining chests in that room. Also I have no idea if the category of keyblade the three wishes falls into exists for final mix but with Counterattack you can turn Sora into a spaz if you're whackin the fat heartless on the belly for a ton of iframes.

I checked the treasure room to see if I could and so far nothing. Even with Aladdin. I did get the rest of the chest that were in there so I'm mostly done with Agrabah (just have a few more trinities left). Also no idea about Keyblade catagorties in the first game but if I'm reading up right, I should be getting counter attack pretty soon, which should help a lot in Hollow Bastion.

So now we return to the adventure of Sora and pals. End up doing a lot of menu management as well as synthesis. Plus there's a giant whale too!

As for the Keyblades I checked out the wikis and looks like it's got to do with the recoil stat, which is invisible on the equip screen. Recoil values above 60 let you do the counterattack spamming, almost every magic focused keychain's got a recoil of 1 along with most of the stubby Keyblades. Olympia's got a high recoil and you can get it right before Hollow Bastion at least, can give it a shot there.

Huh, then again since you said it's an invisible stat, it's just something I never considered. I did get Olympia before Hollow Bastion so once I'm clear with the sewer portions of it (stuck with wooden sword at the moment), I should find out for sure.

My sleep deprivation made for great commentary for episodes 13-17 you're loving welcome.

Appreciate it, buddy!

So stuff's been keeping me busy but I found some time to get these edited. So to make up for the delay, I got two updates today. Also learned that, like with Tarzan, Halloween Town isn't covered in the manga. So have some extra Cid.

Here's another tip as you've gotten a ~magic focused Keyblade, +MP is the most useful stat for more powerful wizard skills as max MP is tied more heavily into spell damage than Sora's Magic stat. Higher max MP == more wizard murder!
Yea, I remember reading about that though I wonder if my build would get any mileage out of it. Maybe I can figure something out for the bonus bosses.

What started as two parts ended up as one 40 minute video instead. Brace for it cause we gonna fly.





EDIT: Well poo poo, part of the game audio got accidentally muted. I'll get the fixed version up sometime tomorrow morning.
EDIT2: Audio should be fine now.

If nothing else, that one movie about the original author of Peter Pan gets a lot weirder with this in mind.
I mean given everything we've seen, I would believe it.

And I guess I can excuse Ursula just kind of showing up in DDD since the whole thing is just Dreams but man, that's a weird way to do a tutorial.

So good news all around, everything I need has been recorded. Just need to edit it all together. Should be another 8-10 parts left before it's all done.

Down to the last eight videos. Everything should be done hopefully by the next two to three weeks. Time to finish this.

Making the Hollow Bastion episodes pretty short is a good thing cause there's a lot to walking around for the most part. Plus makes finding good spots to stop easier. So now we actually climb this big ol' castle.

Only one death? I mean, that could have gone a lot worse.

I honestly can't remember how many tries it took me to beat Riku there the first time I played this game... too long ago.

It helps that I've done a casual proud mode run before hand. KH2 Critical Mode on the other hand will probably be half blind (did each world once but not the return trips).

So after loving up big time, we head back once more to Hollow Bastion to fix this mess.

Things have caught up but I actually found time to upload these videos. So to make up for lost time, here's three updates to make up for it (OK it's actually two but the Pooh videos ended up being two videos soooo).

Apr 11, 2010

Down to one more update after this one. And while most of Final Mix's additional content has been stuff like new moves, heartless and accessories, they did add one additional boss fight! But really, the rear end in a top hat of the game is still this guy!

Strike Raid was my go-to move for knocking him out of Heartless Angel.
When you're so afraid of wasting MP, the thought of keyblade attacks scares me.

It's been a rough 5 months but after everything's said and done, the ride's gotta end eventually. Least for another month or so! Thanks for watchin'.
