    All of the KH3 part is recorded from the PC version. Using specific mods was the only way to achieve what I've been wanting to do with KH3 for years. Custom musics, custom party members, custom abilities and new battles re-created specifically for the purpose of delivering the definitive KH3 experience. And this could only be achieved thanks to the impressive work made by modders.
    As in the usual Timeline format, the gameplay parts will be summed up, and the orchestral versions of the soundtrack will replace the standard ones for most of the time. This is on Proud Mode, as I need Sora's allies to stay alive as much as they can. As always, I aim to showcase entertaining boss battles, as well as letting Sora have his amount of "troubles".
    Here at Olympus, I gave Sora some of his KH2 abilities to create more consistency, as if he's slowly learning back some of his old moves. He won't go past his Wisdom Form, I just wanted him to get a grasp of his old abilities so that he could have the necessary strength to defeat 3 Titans at the same time.
    According to schedule, new episodes will be released every 2-3 days.
    Here's a list of the mods used in this episode. Huge thanks to the people who created them!

    - Explaining the Kingdom Hearts Timeline project -
    As many of you already know, the Kingdom Hearts Timeline project started back in April 2018 as a way to prepare all of us for the release of Kingdom Hearts 3. What is the Timeline project? Basically, you'll see all of the story events as they chronologically happen. Which is seemingly easy to do, but...if you're familiar with Kingdom Hearts, then you know the series is so full of flashbacks, callbacks and retcons, and it's extremely easy to lose track of them.
    I always like to think of the Timeline as an experiment. I wasn’t sure if it could be a welcome one but, somehow, it was so well received that it exceeded my expectations.
    The original 2018 Timeline was just a way to re-live all of the Kingdom Hearts titles leading to KH3, in a different, yet familiar way. I never had plans to go back to it, as I was fully aware of all the flashbacks and callbacks that could be added in the future titles. I don’t really like the idea of uploading new, fixed episodes every now and then, as it would just confuse all of you (and, more than anyone, myself!).
    But I've seen so many requests of seeing this project to be continued that I decided to go on with KH3 in a special way.
    I can’t stress enough the purpose of this project-this doesn’t want to be the best or the perfect way of experiencing the Kingdom Hearts saga.
    All of the titles should be played following their release dates. The Timeline is simply an alternate way of experiencing the story we already know and only players who already played the games should watch it. New players would be spoiled about some plot points, so be warned.
    This project gives you a different perspective on specific events, and the adding of new musics, flashbacks, callbacks and secret reports, makes the whole experience even more unique and immersive.
    If you're more curious or you have more questions, please ask!

    The ReMinD Cutscenes provided better context as to why Xigbar (aka Luxu) was interested and after the Black Box in _Kingdom Hearts III_ instead of overhearing it from Maleficent and Pete off-screen and decided to follow them. Even Luxord brought up an interesting point, cause it sure wasn't Xehanort or Xemnas who ordered Xigbar to look for the Box, especially the former as Xehanort was only interested in the clash for Light and Darkness.
    Although it seems that throughout KH3 *ONLY* Xigbar and Luxord were the only members in the Real Organization XIII to look for the Black Box while the rest of them were in the Disney worlds just looking for the New Seven Hearts (Marluxia in Corona, Larxene in Arendelle) or filling out their missing members for the Replica Program by doing research on some of the inhabitants of the Disney worlds (e.g. Young Xehanort in Toy Box, Vexen in The Caribbean and Dark Riku in San Fransokyo). Vanitas was pretty much the *ONLY* member who did none of the three things the Organization did (Black Box, Replica program, New Seven Hearts) as he was only interested in merging back into Ventus' heart and stealing the negative emotions/screams he collected in Monstropolis to fuel him while also using Randall for his own use.
    So many mysteries will await in the Forteller saga.

      well we already knew xigbar was looking for the box because he used to own it but lost it at some point. MoM literally gave it to him and told him to safeguard it, keep it out of sight. at some point he managed to lose track of it. of course it wasn't xehanort or xemnas who gave the order, it was entirely xigbar's doing. also i believe luxord got vexen to look for the box too, since he comments on being disappointed by the "box" in the Caribbean only containing Dave Jones's heart and not anything more relevant. but otherwise it does seem like it was just xigbar and luxord. Although Saix does know they're looking for the box too, just not why. (on that note, it's interesting he brought this up in front of Xehanort, who seemed to not pay much mind to it. Maybe Xehanort did actually know the box is important in some way too and hoped Xigbar could find it? that never really ended up being important for him after the fact tho so. shrug)

      Makes sense why Vanitas did his own thing to get back with Ventus.
      If there is some mcguffin that Darkness needs back from Ventus, and such could be in an incomplete or vulnerable physical state.
      Being back into Ventus, causing great reaction while at the same time Darkness gets back out of Ven and returns as the ephemeral being we see in the Data World past.

    I've always liked Luxord as a character but in KH3/Remind it really shows us how dangerous he is, like he'll do what he's told, but he sees things others overlook, his gambling persona is just that a persona, if/when he comes back in KH4 and beyond I believe he will truly be a threat to the Master of Masters and the Foretellers.
    I think these scenes with him showing off his smarts is gonna lead into a story arc for him and he may very well be the key to defeating Master of Masters or one of them at least.

    Not sure how I feel about the forms yet. Sure, we are told in 1 that they are a power of his clothes, but The whole thing is that he is GRADUALLY getting his power back, that said, the fact that you only started using them at places where sora gets new abilities in normal 3 makes it a bit better, it just seems super sudden when sora is still all “woe is me, I haven’t gotten much back” when they leave.
    As I said, I’m not sure. Love the care you put into this either way, you’re amazing man.

      It also shows that he only got Valor and Wisdom, the two most basic forms in KH2, losing the stronger ones completely. And it's true that Sora lost a lot of his power, but that's more on what he almost gained in DDD. It's more or less assumed that these "level downs" leave him a little bit in the middle of the previous game and end up way stronger by the end.

      I feel like this is more of a vanilla issue than anything to do with mods since the game already shows Sora defeating all three titans at once without much struggle, two of which were superbosses in the past.
      If we're talking gameplay, then both valor and wisdom form would be eclipsed by the strike and element formchanges anyway so it doesn't ruin progression imo. And that's not even taking into account how broken counter shield is for being the first disney keyblade.

    • @Mcnerd213
      @Mcnerd213 Місяць тому

      @@justarandomperson3700 to be fair, they kinda just stand there, the other three were never with him in those fights, and my final point might be what my issue is.
      During the events of ddd, sora and riku are re-learning everything they know about the keyblade. as according to yensid, they had been using it as a normal sword would be in the hands of a magician. Granted, at the end of ddd, sora lost his “power” from the events, but the events still happened to him. With the lateral movement back to kh2’s combat, it undermines the strategical growth of ddd.
      That said, after my pondering, I do like the forms, conceptually being here. I would just like them better if they had the 3 identity instead of the 2 copy paste.

    Having the Drive Forms is neat, but I noticed you only have Valor and Wisdom available to you, which at this time makes sense. Sora lost most of his strength, and thus, he only has access to the ones associated with Donald and Goofy.
    On another note, I believe Xigbar sent his fellow members on a wild goose chase in order to keep others from finding the Black Box that he himself kept hidden in all these years, which is why Luxord raised his suspicions on the subject.

    i like how we can see sora's gradually getting stronger even now since the previous episode. on top of the drive forms he has a finishing plus now and gets to use magnet burst and explosion, both of which look as fast and flashy and powerful as they do in kh2 and now how Second Form handles them. speaking of, seeing Explosion take out the Satyr brigade's entire armour gauge is deeply satisfying. curious as to why Kingdom key is emitting Phantom Green's effects tho? i thought it was star seeker at first but it's kingdom key. what was the choice there, just a side effect of certain mods? or do you just like the effects more lol
    a little disappointed you cut out bits like Hercules commenting on the water level in the stream, various party banter like that, and also the floor crumbling in the cave right before the scene where Herc exits again. they're not super important but they're just nice little details that flesh out the world and add to the whole showcase. (like the Achilles Statue ;_; ) oh well, I'll live lmao
    i also LOVED the quick transition from valour form back to base form using the lightning flash. Chef Kiss moment. and gaining wisdom form right as you start sliding around on rails and airstepping feels just perfect. also curious about the sudden appearance of Oathkeeper in that one moment too tho? is there a symbolic reasoning there i'm missing or just to remind us he still has it and can use it if he wants

    After our heroes had some trash talk from Xigbar, they make their way to Mt. Olympus where Hercules takes some time away from Sora, Donald and Goofy for a while to head up to the top first. This is also where Sora and his friends learn why Hercules is so desperate to become a True Hero, he’s a demigod and the son of Zeus, the ruler of the Greek Gods. With this, our heroes also get to battle the Titans that Hades freed, having rematches with the Rock and Ice Titans and first time battles with the Lava and Tornado Titans. Our heroes defeat them with Hercules freeing Zeus and throwing the Titans into space. Meanwhile, Maleficent and Pete’s first attempt at finding the Black Box comes up empty as we see Xigbar watching them and Luxord confronts him before leaving.
