     Hello there and welcome to the world of Kingdom Hearts, aka Tetsuya Nomura's Wild Ride, aka Tetsuya Nomura's Excellent Adventure! This is going to be an LP over the Kingdom Hearts series in release order as played from the PC versions that just released last year. This means we are starting with Kingdom Hearts Final Mix HD and should be ending with Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory. Now if you are a veteran of the Something Awful forums you may recall that I did an LP of Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Re: Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix. Those were done on the HD remasters from the PS3 and by today's standards the visuals (among other things) are just not very good. This has led me to wanting to attempt to do a definitive (or Final Mix, if you will) version of my original thread. My recording setup has improved significantly and I also believe that I have improved as a commentator overall. I will be joined in this adventure by Silegna (from the original thread), Rat Earth and Anaxite. If you would like to join us in this wacky adventure then feel free to throw me a PM here on the forums and I will get you the details on how and when we record and everything. I intend for this to be a humorous yet informative LP similar to how the original thread was, so expect some zaniness from the commentators. As for spoilers, I have recently found out that Anaxite hasn't actually played the games himself so that tells me that there are still virgins to the Kingdom Hearts experience, so if you must spoil please use the spoiler tags. They exist for a reason and we may as well use them. Also, as for the commentary itself, there will be two versions of each episode that will go live each Wednesday. One of them will have commentary over the cutscenes. This is for those of you that are well experienced in the ways of the Kingdom of Hearts and thus don't mind that sort of thing. The other version will not have commentary over the cutscenes. This is for those people that prefer to not have people joking around during the cutscenes so they can get all of the story they are trying to understand. With all of that said and done strap in folks because Mr. Nomura has a wacky and wild story to share with you and you likely won't want to miss a moment of it.  Playlists With Commentary Over Cutscenes Chapter 1: A Sora Beginning (KH:FM HD PC) Chapter 2A: Kingdom Hearts CCG (KH RE:CoM HD PC) Chapter 2B: Kingdom Hearts CCG (KH CoM GBA) Chapter 3A: Long, Black Coats (KH 358/2 Days The Movie) Chapter 3B: Long, Black Coats (KH 358/2 Days The Game) Playlists Without Commentary Over Cutscenes Chapter 1: A Sora Beginning (KH:FM HD PC NCOC) Chapter 2: Kingdom Hearts CCG (KH RE:CoM HD PC) Chapter 3: Long, Black Coats (KH 358/2 Days Movie W/O Commentary) Jiminy's Journals Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix Kingdom Hearts RE:Chain of Memories HD Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days  KH 358/2 Days Movie w/ Commentary Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days - Episode 01 - The First Days Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days - Episode 02 - Boy Meets Girl Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days - Episode 03 - BFF Club Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days - Episode 04 - Your Face...Is A Sham Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days - Episode 05 - Headed to the Beach Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days - Episode 06 - Beaches and Sleep Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days - Episode 07 - The End of My Summer Vacation...

What's funny is that while I did play the first game when was younger and my uncle had several PlayStation Final Fantasy games when I was a kid with my older sister having FFX, I actually no real nostalgia for Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy. Admittedly part of that is the fact that I was more of a platformer fan as a kid with the only RPGs that held my attention besides Pokemon being Jade Cocoon (because of my love of monster raising), Legend of Mana for the aforementioned reason along with just being weird and Threads of Fate because it integrated the RPG elements into a platformer. I honestly wish Square would acknowledge ToF more, like have Sora, Riku, Kairi, Donald and Goofy hear about a so-called "crazy witch" and investigate assuming it's Maleficent only to discover an updated version of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_FwAAU2R5o Chimera-gui fucked around with this message at 08:30 on Feb 4, 2022 |

I'm not gonna blame Disney for their mandate regarding Frozen since, as cool as that boss fight could have been, it does not make sense within the context of the original movie's plot since the whole point of Frozen is that Elsa is not the villain so Square Enix's plan was technically in the wrong to begin with. They really should have checked with Disney or at least watched the movie before even starting work on that world.

As much as I want to agree with you the problem is that we may have not specifically mentioned the final part of what the original plot of that world was. Originally, at the end Elsa, as the boss of the world, is defeated and then Sora and co. help restore her to normal and she learns from her mistake. So, as you can see, it was going to be pretty faithful to the movie. Hell, you can't tell me that after watching the movie that Elsa doesn't act at least a little bit villainous.

Since the magic system in this game was kinda opaque to me (yes, even after all this time KH has been on the internet), I went on a little research project. So here's some stuff about Magic! The Magic system The Kingdom Hearts magic system is all about spells you learn as you play the game, then cast at the cost of Magic Points. In the pause menu, you can assign up to three spells to use at any given time. These spells are accessed by going into the Magic command menu during gameplay, then pressing the correct button. At the bottom right next to your portrait, you have an MP Gauge with two parts: the yellow Charge gauge and the main blue gauge. A single segment of each equals one MP. The Charge gauge is filled by striking enemies or specific targets, picking up MP orbs, or getting hit with the MP Rage ability equipped. When the Charge gauge fills up through the first empty segment in the main gauge, that segment is filled, and the Charge gauge is reset. Using a spell or certain abilities will cost one or more segments of either the Charge gauge or the main gauge, but the Charge gauge will be used up first. The MP Gauge not only determines how many spells you can get, but how powerful your spells (and one or two other things) are. Fire An attack spell granted by Donald after defeating the Guard Armor in Traverse Town. Using the spell shoots out a single fireball forward from the tip of the Keyblade at the cost of one MP. The fireball will attempt to home in on the nearest enemy, or the locked-on enemy, unless the enemy is a real pain and somehow got right above you in which case have good luck and have fun! Power: Max MP+20

To be fair, Phil's habit of getting the word count wrong was itself a running gag in the original movie as well and was even a translation gag since the equivalent phrase for "I am retired" in Greek is "Είμαι συνταξιούχος" or literally "I'm retired" which actually is only two words.

The spell summons a barrage of lightning bolts from above to strike multiple surrounding enemies at the cost of one MP Gauge unit. Power: (Max MP*2)+14

Holy cow, it is pretty late but the new episode for today is up and live. Here is today's episode and Datalog/Journal entries. Also, there is only one version of episode four because there were not any cutscenes that I need to remove our commentary from. Either the cutscenes with plot didn't have any dialogue (aka text based cutscene) or if they had dialogue they weren't long enough to warrant messing with. On a final note about today's episode, Anaxite and I have been trying to figure out why Youtube won't process the episodes at 1440p which is what I'm rendering them at, so I may have to later change the link. For the moment the current link works just fine. Episode 04 - A Wonderful Trip Cheshire Cat First Appearance: "Alice in Wonderland" (1951) Journal Entry: A mysterious, grinning cat who talks in riddles and can appear and disappear at will. He loves to mislead and confuse.  Huey English VA: Russi Taylor (BbS, KHIII) Japanese VA: Chika Sakamoto First Appearance: "Donald's Nephews" (1938) Journal Entry: One of Donald's three nephews. Huey is the leader, and he keeps playful Dewey and laid-back Louie in line. You can spot Huey by his trademark red cap.  Dewey English VA: Russi Taylor (BbS, KHIII) Japanese VA: Chika Sakamoto First Appearance: "Donald's Nephews" (1938) Journal Entry: One of Donald's three nephews. Always wears a blue cap. Cheerful and easygoing. He works with his brothers in a shop in Traverse Town.  Louie English VA: Russi Taylor (BbS, KHIII) Japanese VA: Chika Sakamoto First Appearance: "Donald's Nephews" (1938) Journal Entry: One of Donald's three nephews. Works with his brothers in a shop in Traverse Town. Gentle and carefree, but notices a lot of things others miss. To find him, look for a green cap.   Large Body Journal Entry: Big round Heartless. They seem tame and laid-back, but go berserk when they are angered. With their brute strength, they can inflict great damage, so be on your guard.   Trickmaster Journal Entry: Heartless that Sora and company encounter while they searched for Alice. His herky-jerky attacks and juggling act flustered Sora and the others.    Olympus Coliseum   Wonderland     Blizzard An attack spell granted by the Cheshire Cat in Wonderland. Using the spell shoots out a spreading burst of ice crystals from the tip of the Keyblade, like a shotgun blast, at the cost of one MP Gauge unit. The burst can hit multiple enemies. Power: Max MP+22

Wow, I did not even know that Trickmaster was weak to Thunder magic because I never go to the Coliseum before Wonderland. The game seems to expect you to do Wonderland first to the point I'm pretty sure that the official guide outright tells you to do so.

Alright, as promised the link for episode four has been changed as I believed Anaxite and I have solved the riddle of sphinx and figured out the settings needed to render all future episodes in such a way that they will get the 1440p 60fps option on Youtube. Kinda glad to have finally gotten past that issue. Edit: Also updated yesterday's post to include the lesson for the newly learned magic.

Alright I need to apologize once again for episode 4. It seems that there is some double audio issues that I just now noticed when watching it on Youtube. I seem to have forgotten to mute/disable the guide audio that Anaxite creates for me and as such there is a distinct double audio issue going on that becomes very noticeable art one point. I apologize for this and I will get the episode re-rendered and re-uploaded as quickly as possible. Again, I apologize if this made your viewing experience worse because it will be fixed.

Bouncywild Journal Entry:Heartless resembling a monkey. Unlike Powerwilds, they attack from long range with a sling shot. They scamper about during battle, making them difficult to hit.   White Mushroom Journal Entry: Non-attacking, friendly Heartless. They might give you an item if you help them. Additional Info: These Heartless are defeated a bit differently than normal. They will show you a mood based on one of the useable magics in the game and you must cast that magic on them to score an experience point. If you do this three times you will be rewarded with MP balls and other items. If you use three of the same magic you will get the "arts" for that magic, possibly a Mystery Goo and possibly a shard or higher of the magic that was cast on the 'Shroom. There are Fire Arts, Thunder Arts, Blizzard Arts, etc and the Mystery Goo was an item that was only vendor trash in the original release of Kingdom Hearts but in the HD remasters it has become a synthesis item. If you cast an incorrect magic on them then they will get angry and teleport off and you won't get any reward. I will show the Fire, Blizzard, Thunder and Cure moods here in gifs created by Anaxite and future moods will be shown in the relevant updates. Fire Mood (Shivering):  Blizzard Mood (Fanning Self):  Thunder Mood (Sun Overhead?):  Cure Mood (Knocked Out):   Stealth Sneak Journal Entry: Heartless that attuned to the darkness in Clayton's heart. It somehow manipulated the light to turn invisible and fought alongside Clayton.   Deep Jungle    Cure A restorative spell granted after defeating Clayton and the Stealth Sneak. The spell restores a little health to one party member. Power: (Max MP*3)+9

Hey, hey, it's Wednesday again! Time for more nonsense with Kingdom Hearts! Commentary Over Cutscenes Episode 06 - Dogs and Gundams No Commentary Over Cutscenes Episode 06 - Dogs and Gundams - NCOC Cloud First Appearance: "Final Fantasy VII" Journal Entry: A fighter hired by Hades to compete in the Coliseum. Despite his association with Hades, his heart remains untouched by the Heartless. Cloud keeps very much to himself, which makes him something of an enigma. What is he seeking?  Hades First Appearance: "Hercules" (1997) Journal Entry 1: Lord of the Underworld. He's using the Heartless to try and take over the world. To get Hercules and Sora out of the way, he sent Cloud to fight them in the Coliseum. Journal Entry 2: Lord of the Underworld. He's using the Heartless to try to take over the world. Hades wants Herc and Sora out of the way, but all his schemes against Sora and the others seem to end in failure.  Cerberus First Appearance: "Hercules" (1997) Journal Entry: Guardian of the entrance of the Underworld and Hades's loyal servant. Herc defeated him once, but Hades has brought him back to fight Sora and his friends.  Hercules First Appearance:"Hercules" (1997) Journal Entry: A legendary hero with godlike strength. He's the son of the gods Zeus and Hera, but not a god himself. The people regard Hercules as a true hero.  Maleficent First Appearance: "Sleeping Beauty" (1959) Journal Entry 1: A sorceress of awesome power. She controls the Heartless, and is said to have destroyed many worlds. No one knows what her true intentions are. Journal Entry 2: A sorceress of awesome power. She leads the villains who seek to harness the power of the Heartless.

Black Ballade Journal Entry: A Heartless that confuses its enemy by creating projections of itself. If the copies are attacked, it will resort to counterattacks and eventually run away. However, if it is attacked directly and relentlessly... Additional Info: The name of the game with this Heartless is "Shell Game" or "Guess Which Cup". As you can see in the provided gifs the Black Ballade will appear and when the game begins the original will pop up and then cast Kage Bunshin No Jutsu, or Shadow Clone Jutsu if you aren't weeb enough. The original and the clones will then move around very quickly before settling back into formation. Your job is to keep your eye on the original and smack the original once all of them are lined up again. If you get it right it will drop MP Balls and possibly a Lightning Stone synthesis item. If you get it wrong then the Black Ballade will shock and the round will restart. The more times you guess correctly the more likely you are to get a Lightning Stone. He won't stick around forever though and will also go away if you guess wrong too many times. Guessing Right:  Guessing Wrong:   Blue Rhapsody Journal Entry: Spellcasting Heartless. They approach their enemies by bouncing about and attack with Blizzard and absorb blizzard attacks.  Yellow Opera Journal Entry: Spellcasting Heartless.

The spell creates a wind barrier around a party member that decreases incoming damage by half. Duration: Max MP+18

Hey there everyone, it's Wednesday and thus it is time for a new episode in this continuing saga. Before I drop the goodies though, I will let you know that this post isn't quite complete. I will drop the last three portions when I get the gifs made. I have just been super busy with work and whatnot. Getting up at 4am really doesn't incentivize you to do anything after you get home. Also, today's episode had to be split into two parts as there it just took that long to get through with everything. I will continue trying to improve and make it so that the episodes are more efficient. Anyways, on with the show. Commentary Over Cutscenes Episode 07 - Wish Fulfillment - Part 1 Episode 07 - Wish Fulfillment - Part 2 No Commentary Over Cutscenes Episode 07 - Wish Fulfillment - Part 1 - NCOC Episode 07 - Wish Fulfillment - Part 2 - NCOC Jafar First Appearance: "Aladdin" (1992) Journal Entry 1: The royal vizier of Agrabah.

As one of the princesses with the power to open the Keyhole, she was abducted by Jafar and the Heartless.  Aladdin First Appearance: "Aladdin" (1992) Journal Entry 1: A young man living in the desert city of Agrabah. He fell in love with princess Jasmine, but he's afraid to tell her about his humble background. He found the legendary lamp and released Genie, who is now his partner. Journal Entry 2: A young man living in Agrabah. He helped Sora defeat Jafar and used his last wish to release Genie from the lamp. Aladdin asked Sora and friends to help save Jasmine, who has been abducted.  Abu First Appearance: "Aladdin" (1992) Journal Entry: Aladdin's faithful furry sidekick. Abu's size and ability make him valuable in tight spots. He's got a weakness for jewels and treasure, and when he's around them he can't think of anything else.

Bandit Journal Entry: Heartless that mostly appear in Agrabah. They can travel under the sand. They attack deftly with a long sword. Attack them with caution.   Fat Bandit Journal Entry: Heartless that mostly appear in Agrabah. They are well-balanced offensively and defensively.

They lie in wait as ordinary pots, then reveal themselves and attack when their enemies draw near.  Pot Centipede Journal Entry: Heartless called by Jafar to stop Aladdin. Its long body is composed of a number of Pot Spiders linked together. Even if its body comes apart, it can regenerate itself by gathering other pots.  Gravity A spell that forms a miniature event-horizon that crushes its target, reducing their HP by a set fraction and rendering them temporarily defenseless to further attacks. The fraction of HP depleted by Gravity is based on Sora's magic strength, and it is possible to deal 100% damage if the spell isn't resisted by its target. Power: (Max MP x 5) + 40%

Phenomenal cosmic powers, and all Jafar can do for a boss fight is shoot laser beams and throw rocks. Lamest boss in the series. I also feel like Aladdin kinda takes a backseat in his own world plot, too. Tarzan didn't do much important, but Sora at least believes he knows something worthwhile, and Hercules is used as a gold standard to measure up to. Aladdin is just... here.

Hey there everyone, it's Wednesday so that means it is time for more Kingdom Hearts. I will mention that originally I was planning on holding off on doing the update until Friday and doing a little April Fools joke on you guys, but since I couldn't everything working properly I will go ahead and let you know what it was going to be. Originally I was wanting to come on here and post and say I'm sorry it's taking a bit longer to get the video ready but it will be ready on Friday (April 1st, lol). The video that would have been posted was going to be the entire video rendered in reverse and upside down and mirrored. All day on Friday if anyone had posted and said that video appears to be messed up I was going to vehemently deny it and I was going to have Anaxite (who was in on the joke) come in and post and say that the video is fine for him as well. On Saturday I would then have let everyone in on the joke and released the real, correctly rendered videos for all of you to watch. If anyone is interested I was able to get the first 11 minutes of the April Fools episode rendered, so if you want to see it then let me know and I will upload it. Anyways, on with the update for today. Oh and I just notice that I forgot to add the VAs for the last two updates and completely forgot to add Carpet to the list of characters for the last update. That is corrected in the main Journal post which should be the second post of this thread.

Atlantica really is the worst world in the game. It's not the underwater combat adding in a Z-axis that really bothers me, or even Under the Sea on repeat. It's the combat system being trimmed down to just Sora's basic combo and limited casts of whatever mid-game magic you have at present. Underwater combat completely negates the ability to use special moves or any of the new Final Mix skills, so it makes every battle as dull as possible.Silegna posted:I feel like him skipping the "I want to be the best sorcerer" wish really bit him in the rear end.

I'm really glad 2 did away with worlds that were not guaranteed to there like Monstro. I'm also imagining that the "no summons" rule in coliseum was because Phil saw Yuna bring out Ifrit during a tournament and was like "Oh gently caress no, never allowing this again!"

Hey, Hey, I have two bonus episodes for you guys this week. No plot stuff in these so you can skip them if you want to, but for those who are interested they show off all of the Red, Green and Blue Trinity marks up through Neverland as well as every possible treasure chest that isn't from a Yellow or White Trinity mark. We also get introduced to our newest summon, Genie! Bonus Episode - Treasure Hunt Part 1 Bonus Episode - Treasure Hunt Part 2 Jet Balloon Journal Entry: A Heartless similar to the Aquatank. It flies through the air with tremendous speed. Chasing it will lead to a perilous aerial battle as it unloads its Missile Driver attack, an attack similar to the Screwdriver. Its heinous nature attracts them to prey who carry lots of munny.  Chimaera Journal Entry: A Heartless wandering the streets of Halloween Town. Generally a slow-paced creature, it attacks quickly and relentlessly when angered. Armed with various abilities such as summoning Gargoyles, one must use this creature's own tricks against it.   Alright this is the first time we are talking about Summons. To be honest they work very similarly to a combination of summons from before FFX and the summons from FFXII. What I mean is that when you summon help it replaces your party members (except for when Tinker Bell, who is a special case) and they hang around for a while and you tell them to attack but they will also only hang around for so long. Honestly, the closest comparison would probably be to how summons work in the FFVII Remake. Anyways, let's talk about our current summon list. Simba Proud Roar: After charging up, Simba let's loose a roar for damage dependent on charge time. If you charge up 1 or 2 units you will get a normal type Proud Roar attack. Charge up 3 or 4 units for a KO type Proud Roar attack that can stun enemies. Charge up a full 5 units for a Gravity type Proud Roar attack (over 300% damage) that eliminates every enemy on the map. Genie Showtime: Lock-on to a target and the Showtime command will become available in the 4th slot in Sora's command menu. Use Showtime and Genie will perform a continuous stream of attacks. Genie will hit all enemies within a given range, as indicated by his face icon on the targets. Using Showtime decreases Genie's MP gauge by 1 MP. Genie's Showtime is a combination of different attacks. Genie casts Gravity, Thunder, and Stop magic, and also shoots out pink, yellow, and blue energy balls. The yellow energy ball sometimes stuns enemies. The pink and blue energy balls are normal type attacks. Tinker Bell Regen + Autolife: When Tinker Bell heals a party member, the amount of HP recovered is equal to Sora's MP stat. Tinker Bell rotates between your 3 party members, healing one person at a time. She heals someone about once every 2 seconds. Tinker Bell prevents Sora from being KO'd, but only once. If Sora's HP falls to zero, Tinker Bell immediately restores all of Sora's HP and leaves the battle. There is no delay in the battle when Tinker Bell revives Sora.

Alright, so I'm really late on this. But THIS was Kingdom Hearts VCast. It was a phone game for Verizon flip phones. It had tank controls. With platforming.  The combat was as this picture shows.  There was input delay on EVERYTHING. It has no music. Just sound effects. It has like, 3 worlds total, and Maleficent was supposed to be the big bad. It was supposed to take place between specific worlds, but it ended up being scrapped.

Hate to do this but there will be no new episode this week. I had completely intended to have the episode out today but OBS decided to be a butt and screw up the audio recording. It combined the Discord call audio and game audio into one track. The ironic(?, not sure if that is the right word) thing is that it didn't capture my audio in the Discord call. So we are having to re-record episode 10 this weekend so it can be posted a week from today. I really apologize for this, but I promise that I will do better next time.

Surprise, there is a new episode today. There will actually be three (technically two) episodes this week. Today's episode is episode 10 part 1. Part 2 will be on Thursday and a bonus on Saturday episode wrapping up the remaining Trinity marks (Yellow and White) and the treasure chests from Hollow Bastion. We will be going back to the normal schedule next week for episode 11.
