my kingdom hearts dream drop distance experience [part 1]
hello everyone! thank you so much for watching my KINGDOM HEARTS DREAM DROP DISTANCE highlight / condensed playthrough video. this was originally streamed on twitch and has been edited exclusively just for youtube. this part includes the exploration in traverse town, la cite des cloches and prankster paradise for both sora and riku's routes. i'm not going to lie, i had a really hard time enjoying the gameplay at first, but the dream eaters started to grow on me as well as the flowmotion. the plot got even more confusing to me, but I LOVE SORIKU SO MUCH in this game!
thank you so much for watching this video and i hope you enjoy it! appreciate if you could leave a like, comment and subscribe to the channel if you haven't to make your boy here happy! have a great day, everybody!

♡ about the game ♡
Kingdom Hearts II is a 2005 action role-playing game developed and published by Square Enix in collaboration with Buena Vista Games for the PlayStation 2 video game console. The game is a sequel to Kingdom Hearts, and like the original game, combines characters and settings from Disney films with those of Square Enix's Final Fantasy series. An expanded re-release of the game featuring new and additional content, Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, was released exclusively in Japan in March 2007. The Final Mix version of the game was later remastered in high definition and released globally as a part of the Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix collection for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Windows, and Nintendo Switch.
Kingdom Hearts II is the third game in the Kingdom Hearts series. It picks up one year after the events of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. Sora, the protagonist of the first two games, returns to search for his lost friends while battling the sinister Organization XIII, a group of antagonists previously introduced in Chain of Memories. Like the previous games, Kingdom Hearts II features a large cast of characters from Disney and Square Enix properties.

    The core idea for Xenoblade 3 is fascinating. They created a super computer that was able to resist the big bang produced by two universes, one made of matter and other made of antimatter, colliding. That's why the sword of origin is also the sword of the end and that's why it's so impossibly sharp and hard. Then the super computer would control the particles to rebuild both universes. For that, it has to scan every thing, thoughts included. But when it scanned the thoughts of the living beings, it found their fear to the future, to what would happen after the collision. Success wasn't guaranteed. So, it created a form, Z, that would make sure to protect the universes by stopping time, by keeping them frozen. Of course it cannot work and they are slowly colliding, but it still tried to stay true to their fear. Mobius is fear. A few plotholes anyway: 1. How did riku get the sword of origin, and 2. How did Noah and MIo manage to be reborn after becoming mobius since they should be out of the cycle.

    - Malos's boss theme here is an acoustic rearrangement of Amalthus's boss theme. It's a nice touch, I'm saying. - Mythra was the one who convinced Milton to wait in Auresco - the way she saw it, (even though it was Malos who dealt the killing shot) his death was her fault. With that and the death's of the Titan and Hugo, it's no wonder Mythra generated Pyra and repressed herself. - I can scarcely think of anything else in Xenoblade 2 that's as horrifying as Blade Eater Gort! And boy, is he mentally out of it...! Still, worth it to hear the theme of "Lora is pissed off" (a rearrangement of "The Power of Jin", even). (Fun fact: Gort's HP is constantly whittling away in the battle, automatically. Stannif did say that Gort might not last long. Oh, and Team Lora can't be KOed in this one battle.) - "Things can change. There's always hope." After the tragedies that unfolded in the ending...it's comforting that the final shot in this campaign is Rex, a boy who truly embodies hope. I'd say Lora had a point after all.

    - That's right - the modern Driver/Blade combat style was birthed by a team that was short on cash. - It's funny how much more childish both Aegises are in this time - Mythra being bratty and cocky, while Malos is being a violent delinquent. - Only an Ardainian could love Mythra's cooking. No, I'm serious - there are Ardainians that really love her "unique" flavor, if only because Mor Ardain grub is about as gross. - Praetor and quaestor are political positions in old Rome. - Fonsett Village doesn't exist yet, remember? - Addam was cloaked in the main game's flashbacks because the devs had yet to lock down his appearance at the time.

    Data Roxas attacked Sora because at this point in the story Roxas hates and resents Sora because Sora is the person who ruined Roxas's life, The only life that Roxas ever knew where he was manipulated into believing he couldn't feel human emotions where he found the two people in his life that genuinely made him feel happy, that being Xion and Axel, a life where Roxas was constantly told how he isn't supposed to exist and feel human emotions to the point where him and his own friends fought each other, Roxas is constantly trying to get answers and find out what makes him so special all while people like Axel constantly kept secrets from him in an attempt to protect him from his and xions inevitable fate of having to go back to Sora who they are a part of since they can both use the kingdom key and have memories that belong to Sora but at the same time they formed their own memories, Roxas was forced to kill his own best friend Xion by his own hand which Xion knew was necessary for Sora to wake up, even Axel sacrificing himself just for Soras sake which all made Roxas resent Sora since everything and everyone in Roxas's life was sacrificed all for a boy that Roxas didn't even really know, that being Sora, Roxas felt like he didn't have a home anymore because the only home he ever knew was brutally ripped away from him unintentionally by Sora which clearly had a dark and depressing effect on Roxas and you can hear it in Roxas's voice whenever he speaks to Sora in Re Coded because at this point in the story Roxas hates his ass and Rightfully and Understandably so which I feel manifests the best in KH2 where you play as Roxas and experience his life falling apart right in front of him and then you take control of Sora for the rest of the game to where you go to the world that never was and you as Sora have to fight the dude you were playing as at the beginning of the game, since data Sora and data Roxas are based off of the real Sora and Roxas means that anything they feel the real Sora and Roxas feel as well, you even got DIZ being racist towards nobodies like Roxas and Namine by telling them how they can't feel human emotions after they've been forced in a situation they honestly never asked to be in, Sora is an amazing person who would never have wished all this upon Roxas don't get me wrong but if I was in Roxas's perspective then how could you not hate Sora? Even just a little bit? Your life is destroyed by a boy who you don't even know who is constantly being considered as more important than you all while your life is being sacrificed for his sake all while constantly being told you were never supposed to exist, this is what was going through Roxas's mind, This is all why in both KH2 and Re:Coded Roxas shows up towards the end of the game and tells Sora to square up, to be honest? VERY understandably so

    ehy ehy ehyyy it's time for ddd, aka the gay (tm) kh game! there is a lot to talk about so ill go through this first video while also taking into account the events of the second halkf where the plot twists are revealed and retroactively explain the mysteries the first half was setting up. starting off, lets' explain the reason why the mechanic of sora and riku switching in the gameplay was made. first off, this was a 3ds title, so it was decided to be portable and played in small chunks. so you switch between the two characters in the same way other portable games are designed to be in short bursts of play sessions. there is more to it however, since this is their game, mainly riku's but i digress, and we have had other instance of multiple stories at the same time so this was another iteration of it (also you can remove the timer if you use an item if it bothers you so it's not a problem for me really). the constant switching between sora and riku however has also a possible symbolism to it, which is likely meant to represent the waltz that is now present in this game's dearly beloved, which in the next episode we'll find out to be the song their hearts sing when they are in tune. The game's title also has gay in it. Dream and drop are obvious, dreaming and dropping off to sleep, but the distance as the directors said it's the distance between sora and Riku in the game, that despite being in completely different planes of existences, the bond between the hearts is so strong that it closes that distance and allows them to affect each other regardless. about another thing you did complain about, rightfully so, the game especially since it changes perspectives often, requires more than usual to know the movies more closely if you want to follow the plot and why certain things happen, since there are a lot of references to small details to them which only appear to be weird otherwise. the main element of this is with twewy. unlike final fantasy, twewy characters arent just cameos characters who just happened to look sort of like their original versions but their stories are completely different, twewy is actually much more crossed over than final fantasy, it's really really in depth, to the point that ddd spoils a lot of important elements of twewy, which is funny. every time you dont understand something or smth even feels off is because it's a reference to twewy, like the concept of the world split in two, or rhyme's dreams having a weird importance otherwise. so, just nod and assume it's a cool reference, i cant explain everything since that would spoil twewy too lol. starting with the intro, sora and riku are sent back to the destiny islands, i may be talk about it next time, where they encounter a phantom ursula. this has always been completely out of left field and unexplained, until either ultimania or the kh3 character file, i am forgetting where it was exactly, sora remembers ariel, and thinks about how ursula was one of the obstacles between her and eric's love and that there will be more...before remembering and wondering, very pointedly, why ursula appeared here completely unexplained against him and riku, so she was there to make a symbolic parallel for sora and riku to ariel and eric. so let's break this bad boy open. the major mystery that ddd sets up is that first, riku after the prologue has instinctively noticed both him and sora were in danger so again without him even knowing, became a dream eater to protect sora inside his dreams, while sora proceeded in the sleeping worlds guided by the organization. the original intention was for them to always be together in their test, even if in a way they are, riku is inside sora's heart through the whole game. so, sora is inside the dreams of the worlds themselves, which are dreaming their story's events right before they fell to darkness in kh1, while riku is experiencing sora's internal recreation of the worlds he is visiting, sora's dream world. there are a lot of hints about this of course. riku has a dream eater symbol on him, which is btw based on the bleeding heart flower which has a ton of romantic, love and devotion symbolism to it, while sora has an x from the organization on his front. riku merges with dream eaters because he is tecnically one, while sora plays with them. the organization knows and taunts sora all the way through about him not knowing where the hell he even is, while they mention how they have no idea how the fuck riku managed to do what he did. there are of course some mistranslations, mainly at the end of the game, but for this part i want to point out how Beat mentioning "protecting the one person who matters" in japanese causes riku to repeat it as if he is realizing or remembering smth, while english acts as if already knows, more on that later in the game, and when sora in the second visit to traverse town, he says that riku's always with me and slaps his chest, this is an ironic joke because rikus is literally in there at that moment lmao. in japanese he says their hearts are always connected and another version of this ironic joke too. there's probably a lot more im not remembering rn too lol going to the disney worlds, sora experiences more or less the canon events of the world who is sleeping, i want to point out the bad guys when sora hallucinates vanitas that they are accusing him of his heart being a prison, specifically he is tecnically keeping ventus, xion, roxas and vanitas inside him locked away. the juicy stuff happens with riku, since sora's heart has influence over how things happen to him in his worlds. in notredame the world ends with, instead of esmeralda and phoebus going away and quasimodo being alone but hopeful, which sora was worried about because he noticed the similarities between quasi and riku, which riku also noticed, they instead remain together and decide to comfort riku on the matter, with esmeralda doing a very sweet speech which you dont need to look that hard into to see how it is likely meant to be a "take your time to come out of the closet" speech. very fitting for esmeralda to say it too. since both this, novels and kh3 mentions that there is something that riku is keeping hidden inside him that cant tell sora that is very much causing him a lot of distress. To offset the gay a bit, when riku says to quasi that a friend will recognize you and love you no matter what you look like, the novel reveal he is thinking of Kairi in kh2 when he looked like ansem which is very sweet! the grid is particular because this isnt actually a dream world, for that world they are supposedly in the real world briefly. i believe it's structured so that sora and riku both help the protagonists at different points so they dont meet each other. in monstro, this is where the "sora actually influences riku's worlds" is the most obvious. sora explores the actual world, while riku is actually exploring sora's memories of his time in monstro in kh1. riku mentions that it's familiar, and turns out that pinocchio here was also kidnapped, like it happened in kh1, by "riku". this riku here doesnt speak, and just calmly leaves. spoilers for the next episode, but this riku here is a nightmare, from sora remembering the painful events of kh1 of riku abandoning and later betraying him. later at the end of the game, this riku will return fully turned into a nightmare boss, where you need to defeat him as current dream eater riku, which is super cool both in concept and for the narrative, riku protecting sora from the nightmare that the riku of the past caused and such. afterwards, the dream versions of pinocchio and jiminy, manipulated by sora, even try to comfort riku by usggesting him to share and talk with a friend, aka sora wants riku to talk and communicate with him about his fears. let's stop for now for this first part, i'll add stuff if i remember anything. do lemme know your thoughts or other things you didnt understand from the game yet afteer finishing it!!!!

      @@skyeifer it will get fully gay in the next part, when I say it's gay now it's because it's implicit i guess, the vibes are overwhelmingly romantic? It's a game about Sora and Riku specifically and designed around their bonds, where their constant push and pull and dynamic they have is turned into gameplay and music by them having a waltz, reflected into the main theme of the series which is revealed to be the song that plays when their hearts are in sync and sing together. Riku becoming essentially a dream guardian angel defying all logic and reasons just so he would protect Sora from a threat he wasn't even consciously aware it was happening, being inside Sora's heart and subconsciously being influenced by Sora's heart into slowly going from the still insicure boy he was at the end of kh2 to the completely fully devoted boy with clarity and peace of mind he is at the end of the game. The game being titled about their literal bonds that can transcend whatever distance was placed on them by the narrative, which will also turn again into a gameplay mechanic in the last world, and I can probably continue. Like, every time Riku softly says Sora's name and you visibly reacted from the emotions from that, all of this I listed is the narrative reasons why that is the case he's acting like that. Like, even my lore info I mentioned has serious undertones of this, like the whole thing about what happens in monstro. Riku directly facing his own demons and how they actually traumatized Sora that he's having nightmares about it, which will be used later to try and get Sora stuck into a permanent cursed sleep, and it's Riku now that redeems himself by protecting Sora and freeing him of this particular nightmare of his.

    The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a beautiful and much darker Disney film of that era. It's funny, the movie makes it ambigous whether Quasimodo's gargoyle friends can actually come to live or not, or if they're simply a coping mechanism that Quasi's mind developed to deal with his loneliness, but here they reveal themselves to Sora just fine lol I'm guessing chat didn't mention the Drop-me-not item. Playing the game like you are would've been a nightmare for me, so I used drop-me-nots to make sure Riku and Sora were always at the same level of progression. Yeah, at this point in the series it's a bit hard to follow all the plot threads. The game ends up making things much clearer as you progress, but the sense of confusion is still so big. What got me through this game was how fun exploring the worlds was with flowmotion and the Dream Eater system of raising monsters and having them provide Sora and Riku with new skills. Oh, and some of the story moments in the endgame were reaaally good, too.

    I LOVED this game the first time I played it. But I will admit, I understood NOTHING the first time I played it. I didnt understand what the dream eaters were and the WHOLE plot flew over me. And eventually there were things that happened that are later mentioned in future titles and I was like "when did that happen?" and then I realized it was from DDD. xD But I loved the vibe. How sweet it was. And (I'm assuming you already finished the game) with the Symphony of Sorcery world - I was completely won over. But mind you, I am absolute shit at rhythm games so it was a nightmare for me but I loved the original fantasia movie since I was a baby. But I think this is a game that kinda requires multiple plays to catch everything cause I think everything is explained quickly and casually like you are expected to understand with a single brief scene. What got me to understand what was happening was actually watching that "Riku is Gay" 6 hour video essay. But if you ever check it out, I suggest you check it out once you finish the series. ^^' It honestly, helped me see the whole thing with clearer vision. And make sense of things that seemed kinda dumb before. Anyway, Enjoy your vacation!! And thanks for the video.
