This game is honestly where the plot of Kingdom hearts completely shits itself.
And here i thought the memory pods and nobodies were a leap. Nomura was just getting started.
WE NEED MORE XEHANORTS!!
This one game is more complicated than the entire series wtf
+xSinfulDesire But that's what makes the story so interesting :D
Since there so many easter eggs, shout outs and call backs from previous series, sadly I don't own all of them. T_T
+Alain7896 the story was nice, but the rest of the game sucked! The gameplay was awful, and the original soundtrack was really lackluster and cutesy...
I played and owe every game even coded on a frickin gba and the game that i havent played is only KH 3D Left,i don’t have 3DS and couldn’t afford a PS4 so i probably just gonna see a recap video of the story.This recap makes me understand 3D but still i can’t bear it.This shit is far more complicated than the entire series
Boyishdude I thought the gameplay was good minus the Dream Eaters. The level up system was way too complicated and hard to customize the way you want.
my head hurts after watching this
I thought it was just me
Why can't all the characters in this game just chill and be friends?
And go eat dinner with Sora and his mom, lol.
ryuman757 but really what ever happened to sora’s mom
@@sal519 She became the antagonist in Kingdom hearts: bash of the ass/sass ÷ lovingly prepared food
Because there would be no conflict
I still don´t get the time travel bullshit.
Existing as a heart allows Xehanort to connect to himself in nearly all timelines, nobody, heartless, and younger forms. Don't question it, just accept it.
It's not bullshit, it's just a series of rules to make the time travelling actually work in-universe.
These rules are:
1) you must discard your body;
2) you can only travel into the past;
3) you cannot change events that are destined to happen;
4) once you return to your own time period, you and anyone you took with you lose all the memories of your journies;
5) you must have a version of yourself in the time period you wish to go to.
as if kingdom hearts isn't confusing enough, now they talk about a dream of a world withing a dream of a dream inside a personds dream?!!!!!! "kingdom hearts inception"
Tetsuya Nomura must of been on LSD when thinking this through
jeom And don't forget time travel.
XD oh yea, and the "how to" time travel, even thats confusing as hell!,
having to: "separate your heart to have a heartless and a nobody and travel throu with your heartless (wich is almost imposible withought a keyblade) to get your past self to get the power(making a shit ton of paradoxes depending how you look at it), wich is just- ,just...whaaat??!?!?!?!??
So... did Sora just forget his parents?
Chris Taggart yes
Yes
Ughh..I love this game and this recap...but I barely understand the plot anymore..so confused. As another Disney character said. "Time travel, it's a cornucopia of disturbing concepts"
Actually with this explaination I finally understod the plot. The whole adventure Sora was asleep in a twofolded dream. and Riku was inside his dream. After the fight with Ursula Sora was grabbed by the Org. and put to sleep for a second time (since he was already asleep in order to enter the sleeping worlds). This explains also the mysterious apparence of Young Riku (Also part of Soras dream)
I used that same quote from Kim Possible lol great minds think alike
I feel like as this game goes on....it is so much less about other worlds, Disney, etc., and so much more about confusing sections and parts of each character combined with jumping around timeframes. So confusing...
Eric Bishop sequence breaking was AWFUL for this game destroyed all flow
How are these not popular. Your ReCaps are awesome.
I wanna see Yen Sid fight with a keyblade.
are you fucking kidding me? you fucking hmk hippie I saw you fanboying on the link vs sora 1mm your a piece of shit I thought you hated sora and kingdom hearts yet here I am reading your comment about KH I'm tired of this guy I think I'm losing braincells please just go fanboy on a link video god
...
Djuana Finley Hi troll
+Djuana Finley Are you coming unto me?
Weirdo.
I didn't hear a no
Recap of the series: Everybody has a keyblade. Everybody was black hooded. Everybody was Ansem. Everybodys heart has light, dark, nobodies, yesbodies, datas and dreams inside them. Sora's heart has the hearts of everybody that ever existed and will exist, here, on dreams, virtual reality, ubisoft broken servers and you that are reading this. F*ck this game.
i lold
Thank a ton. I understood every Kingdom Hearts game except this one, and it felt me feeling rather unhappy, as I consider myself a KH fanatic. Thank to this awesome video, though, the game makes perfect sense!
So. 2 days ;)
@@HahaHaha-li1tn 358
The Kingdom Hearts projects is now up to date! Let's RECAP while we wait for Kingdom Hearts 3!
You may wanna take those tags out of your description.
You were suppose to put The Grid before Pranksters Paradise
I think he said it in true chronological order.
looks like you gotta do kingdom hearts 0.2 and unchained key
I think I'll hit them both when 2.8 comes out.
EVERYBODY GETS A KEYBLADE!!
Who's next? Donald's keyblade/staff thing? A Goofy keyblade/shield thing? Does Jiminy Cricket get one too?
Only the ones who are linked to terra Aqua and Ventus can get a keyblade. Which is sora Riku kairi and axel.
And Micky... where does that fit in
Master Sid
Exactly... so as I said... EVERYONE GETS A KEYBLADE :D
Headless Horseman your right if a virtual version of the protagonist gets a real keyblade then Braig is right. Everyone is getting a keyblade nowadays.
That deep breath before the video 😂😂
Okay, I believe you.
Young Xehanort: I'm from the past.
Player: OMG, this story is just so convoluted and I don't understand a thing about what's going on!
Young Xehanort: ...Really? THIS is my future?
Master Xehanort: Now you know why I see myself as smarter than everyone else... because judging from this, I AM.
DenisK21
Master Xehanort:
*K E Y B L A D E!*
all i can think at 6:50 is "don't talk to me or my son ever again"
Chary Blue hahahaha. Thanks for thr crack up i really needed that
The only thing is...EVERYONE HAS A KEYBLADE!!!
It's like lightsabers, it's ruined.
Glad I watched this, cause I was NOT about to play this game
The reason why this game is so confusing is simply because of time travel. They start off simply by telling you that you're going to be traversing through sleeping worlds (basically astral projection). What they don't tell you is that the worlds aren't just dreaming but that you're more or less able to time travel because of your astral form (which is why Riku and Sora look younger and your being able to see past events). The reason Xehanort can do it is simply because when he was a heartless posing as ansem in the first game he didn't have a physical body to bound him to time and space. So he could astral project to anywhere he existed in time and speak with his incarnations. The confusing part about all this is if he was able to contact himself in the past and future/present and pretty much get everyone up to speed... Why the hell can't he see past the present? Unless of course he's dead and thus can't contact a future self simply because it doesn't exist. Still a cool power when you think about it. Imagine if your future self told your past self all the knowledge you'd ever know. Would that mean you could grow beyond that knowledge or be trapped with the current?
So surprise, it seems that anyone can wield a key blade, maybe. It seems that through the power of light manifesting in someones heart can call forth a key blade. This is evident with the fact that Axel and Kira can know wield key blades. It is probably a form of light magic or something that comes from the heart and needs to be awakened. It is also true the opposite way that through dark magic it is possible to have a key blade. Otherwise how would there be a huge key blade war with so many people if only a few could have key blades. It stands to reason that either a whole generation of people that had the power to have key blades through either light or dark magic might have killed each other off during the key blade war. And so all the people who can know wield key blades are in some way descendants of a past key blade wielder. Also, it could be possible that it just takes training of some sorts that has been forgotten because of the war that anyone can have a key blade through the manifestation of light or dark magic with their heart.
Bruh... thank you. These are wonderful. I've watched Chain of Memories, BBS, and DDD tonight. I'm ready for KH3
Well, Aqua & Terra's exam was far more easier than this
This is how you turn a chosen one story into a convoluted save the day plot. I miss kh1 simple understandable plot with fun disney and FF elements.
Sorry to disagree but kingdom hearts 2 was better and was more fast paced
Black Savior it was more of an informational prelude to kh3 than anything. Take into consideration that it wasnt a numerical title.
Really explained alot.
Sora is connected to all of this whether he likes it or not, which makes him the literal key to saving everyone from sorrow and pain.
He is a beam of light, and says that his friends are his power.
This is likely the reason why the keyblade chose him.
It also explains why everything that happened did happen, and who's been pulling the strings from birth by sleep all the way to dream drop distance (meaning xehanort was behind kingdom hearts 1 and 2, the one who premeditated everything)
And also explains how a new war is coming, sora is a target, and shits getting real.
Also if you kept up with kingdom hearts x and the x animated movie you begin to wonder about the master of masters, his plan, why xehanort has his keyblade, who and what is luxus role, what in the shitdiggles is the x box and what is in that bad boi.
I have a theory that the voice who tells sora not to be afraid in the beginning of his journey (very start of kh 1) is the master of masters seeing as he knows of past present and future prophecy and what not.
I dont know man but i played this shit as a kid and im 21 now the plot is so confusing but ive been waiting too damn long for the conclusion that im all aboard the hype train and am ready for kh 3 muddafucka
in terms of combat I think DDD did an amazing job
God this series got stupid lol
don't ask questions, just consume kingdom hearts and then get exited for next kingdom hearts
Yeah! Screw those idiots that like things you don't like!
... wtf IS Sora? I swear , they tell us that he is "just a normal boy" but there is nothing normal about your heart swallowing ppl left and right!!!!! And him being just fine
Thanks so much for this! I've actually played Dream Drop Distance twice, and I was STILL confused on what was going on lol But this has made things more clear! Now I'm OFFICIALLY prepared for Kingdom Hearts III
Davos Productions did you have to rewatch this video lol Finally it’s coming out!
I feel like this game is far more important than Chain of Memories was, I wonder how the plot would go if you jsut played 1 2 and then went into 3 without playing this one.
I strongly disagree - I'd say they're equally important. If you played 2 right after 1 without playing CoM you would be just as lost as playing 3 after 2 without this one. CoM picks up RIGHT where 1 left off and barring Roxas's prologue (which basically nothing could prepare anyone for lol) 2 picks up RIGHT where CoM left off.
It's kinda funny. Going into Kingdom Hearts 3, you would have a WAY better grasp on the story if you'd only played this game and Birth by Sleep than you would if you'd only played KH1 and 2.
Played kh1 in 2002 when I was 9. Just finished kh2. Recently started the games again but don't really want to play psp or ds games.
Thank you for making these. I know its 10 years old but you've saved me 70hrs of gameplay
I don't think Sora saw Vanitas. He mostly appeared as a sort of fanservice. Besides even if Sora didn't recognize him in sure he would've been freaked out to see himself with black hair if he actually did see him
Fantastic, awesome job! This is just what I needed, since I refuse to buy a system for one game. Perhaps they will remake an HD version someday, but if they don't, now I know what happened. Kudos to you, sir.
Now that an HD version is out, have you played it yet?
orbajo dang nice prediction
Well yeah don't do that haha but this aged like milk the 3ds had a bunch of dank games
Nope, it's just after Re:Coded, since the secret cutscene in that game talks about what will come in KH3D.
7:47 That's Riku Replica. Since he comes from Riku's dark side and he doesn't seem to be a recollection from the past of this world.
11:24 Holey Moley then comes in.
12:10 Nightmare who was the one that was in Traverse Town.
14:47 No, he doesn't, those are just clones of hooded Young Xehanort.
16:56 That was actually Xion who put her hood up and Sora caught her up, only to figure out she became Roxas. Besides, why does he say "Wait up !" ?
18:00 The wiki actually says that was Riku who tried to make Sora go back to reality, but I'm not convinced of that.
18:21 You mean the body will try to retrieve a heart at every opportunity ?
20:19 That's Saïx, Lea just mistook him. Because Saïx has that X mark, the spiky ears, and the yellow eyes, unlike Isa.
So basically, to enjoy KH after the clustertruck that is DDD, you just have to stop thinking about the Time Travel....
Kingdom Hearts is not about understanding the plot, or knowing what the heck is going on.
Its about the friends you make in the comments section because you are all confused.
back in the day to be a master you just needed to fight a few balls and beat someone up
nowadays even with the experience sora has he didn't qualify to be a master
this just parallels todays hiring practices smh
the fuck was going on LOL my head hurts but ill finish this damn thing
This really helped me understand the plot of DDD, sadly i never had a 3ds so i wasn't able to ever play it. So this brought be to speed with the series. Now im prepared for Kingdom hearts 3!!! XD
Iove these games but why the hell do they need to be so fucking complicated.
So...
It's like an Oprah show?
"This is a Keyblade"
"LOOK UNDER YOUR SEATS EVERYBODY!"
"YOU GET A KEYBLADE AND YOU GET A KEYBLADE AND EVEN YOU GET A KEYBLADE!"
"KEYBLADES FOR EVERYONE!"
ok so I get it now! the kingdom hearts game that we got to see at e3 2016 is going to basically be ANOTHER prequel and is in fact the begining of the entire kingdom hearts series, yes going back even farther than BBS, its gonna be about master eraques and xeanort!
14:45 how can Xigbar summon 12 organization members when Master Xehanort wasn't there yet and they had yet to have a 13th member even? e.e
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS RECAP! I was afraid I wouldn´t fully understand the story of Kingdom Hearts 3! But now I do! The only thing I have to do now is getting enough money to buy a PS4 XD
Yeah this is so confusing. My head hurts. Time to start 3.
Thank you for doing this. I've had kh3 downloaded for weeks but haven't touched it yet because I haven't played through this.
With KH3 so close, I've found myself watching nearly every video that explains the story just for a good recap. I've heard them all over the years, but it's so.... robust that I might as well relearn it. The last thing I need to being confused when KH3 comes out next week.
My plan is to watch every trailer and if I don't know a guy... google it. Rewatch a RECAP of his game. Repeat. Working so far. What I've learned is. Darkness,Light, Darkness, Heartless, Xehanort, Sora, Riku!, Darkness, Darkness, Nobodies, Light, Kingdom Hearts. Light. Light. Darkness. Xehanort, Teranort, Darkness, Light, Darkness, Young Xehanort, Time Travel, Master of Masters, Darkness, Dreams, Aqua is best girl, oh... and how could I forget....
Donald is still useless.
what the fuck is happening????
KH1 was simple and easy to follow.
KH2 Makes shit super complicated.
And KH BBS and this fuck shit up real good.
I sincerely have thought that summaring this games plot was impossible, but seemly you made it xD
Much better than the other videos I've watched about Dream Drop. Just a nice play by play of everything. Very well done.
Thanks so much for clarifying the storyline for this game. I love the KH storylines but this one was looneyest one I have ever tried to understand. Now hopefully we get kingdom hearts 3 before the 2020's.
We JUST made it before the end of the decade, thankfully.
Why did you have to put some Simple and Clean Instrumental at the End? This almost made me cry because I love that song
Yeah I'm not really a fan of the combat system used in BBS or this game. So thank you so much for these videos.
In this game at least, it felt useless. Why stumble through a command deck when you can just flowmotion everything down?
Thanks for this years later. Really helped put together what is actually "actually" happening in kh3 and its ending
At 20: 15, when Lea jumps in the way. Isn't that Axel? And Isa? I thought that was Saix. Someone please help
Axel, Saix, and all of Organization 13 were all killed by the end of Kingdom Hearts 2, and the original people they were based on came back during this game (at least, the people from Radiant Garden have). So, Axel and Saix went back to being Lea and Isa, who you see now.
Ahh that makes sense. I've played KH 1 and 2 not the ones in between so I watched the BBS and DDD ones you posted. A little confusing but love it! Nice job!
*****
One thing I don't understand though, Are the org members (Ansem, Xemnas, Xigbar and Saix/Isa) taken to this place in time from other periods in time (before they were killed)? If so, there is a chance that that's not Isa but Saix, still a nobody, taken from a time prior his defeat at the hands of Sora. Which leads to another question: Were is Braig and Isa? and were did Xehanort came from? since his nobody and heartless were destroyed "Terra-Xehanort" should have return, not Xehanort...
Solfei Braig and Isa were still good vessels for Xehanort so they took them back and probably replaced their hearts with his like he intended for Sora.
Heartless? Nobodies? Memories made real? Digital constructs? Dreams? How many different types of ways can all of these characters manifest?
I’m a diehard fan, but the story has gotten so crazy and confusing, I wish they wouldve kept it more simple and easier to understand. And the spin-offs on multiple consoles is annoying.
I did play the game, but your summary is awesome and simple , way to go (y)
I fucking despised that bee boss and this game was incredibly boring im just gonna watch th summary and jump to 2.8
omg that's hard to follow
I tried playing this game. I really tried playing 3D but I’m not enjoying it at all
Yooo the world ends with you soundtrack is godlike!
Did'nt Axel/Lea Die in KH2?
And why does ventus and roxas look alike, and Sora and Vanita?
Henrik Oestlund Yes, Axel did get defeated. It's explain in Dream drop distance that once the heartless and the nobody of the person gets defeat/kill, they reform back into one.
In birth by sleep, it explains that ventus heart was "broken" and the new born Sora help heal by joining together. And this process happen twice in the game, once in the beginning and the ending of the story. This makes Roxas look like ventus and Vanita look like Sora.
Hope this helps.
I thought KH1 was confusing, this game just goes turbo mode
after watching the entire playlist i can sorta figure things out But GOD DAMN my head hurts the only game i did not play is Kingdom Hearts DDD
but what i can gather KH3 will be a Massive Key blade war ? i just hope we get to play as all the key wielders like Kire and Axel ( yes i know he gone back to his other name in the video but i just like Axel more after all " got it memorized ")
wether it Flops or becomes a huge hit for the PS4 ( if it is on there ) im still going to give it a shot where the story never really made much sense its the gameplay and Action JRPG like game play that keeps me hooked
ehhhhhhhhhh
Ikingdom hearts: nception
Nicely recapped. One small correction however: After Mickey cast Stopza, Young Xehanort was initially frozen. However, the spirit of Master Xehanort took possession of his younger counterpart and enabled him to move. That's also the reason why Young Xehanort could wield a Keyblade that has elements of both No-Name from KHUX and the No-Name you obtain after defeating MF in BBS, as this version of Young Xehanort was the one before he received formal training in wielding the Keyblade.
A few questions: When Riku reached The World that never was, was he still in Soras dream or no because if he was, how did Axel, Mickey, Donald and Goofy enter his dream and even if they werent in his dream how the hell were they able to travel back in time to there? those are the biggest questions I have
ArcaneKeyblade This Castle in the World that Never Was was another Sleeping World, so Riku, Mickey and the others just dove in normally while Sora was being hijacked by Xigbar and the others.
***** But I thought that they were still back in time, or is it once sora and Riku unlocked all the sleeping worlds did they pop back to the present time and if so why were they still wearing the clothes as if they were still in sleeping worlds.
ArcaneKeyblade For Sora and Riku, they are not strictly time traveling, even though many sleeping worlds are of the past. WTNW is still a dream world for both of them. Sora was taken there, Riku just shows up there after his fight with Ansem, and Mickey [likely] dove in there.
I love this series a lot. With all the spin offs though I can't seem to understand what's going on anymore. Your videos have helped me understand some events that happened in the games but most of it just confuses me even more. So thanks for telling me what happened in the games I was unable to play but I'm more lost as then I was before sorry lol XD
Thanks for watching, what still has you confused? Feel free to ask.
This game should never have existed. Jesus wtf
Kingdom hearts is wild
Its so confusing to keep all together, even with the explanation. Oye.... 😵 This is the most challenging game to understand imo.
If all the worlds are sleeping worlds that were never rescued, why do have to go back to Traverse Town??
the first rule of kingom hearts club is, you dont ask questions about kingdom hearts
Traverse Town fell to darkness at some point after KH1, turning it into a sleeping world, that's why you never see anyone there except the TWEWY crew, and Joshua explains how they ended up there.
the pronunciation of La Cité des cloches physically hurt me
Lol, it sounded like he affected a more Spanish dialect when saying it, rather than French.
Thank god I watched this. I started playing kingdom hearts 3 and was confused cause I forgot about this game lmaoo
You somehow make it more confusing.
What is xehanort's plan one more time?
It's still a mystery I believe.
Sooo... There were in Soras Dreams from beginn with? Were the sleeping worlds even awakened and saved? Argh. I love Kingdom Hearts, but its so confusing! >.
This games looks awesome.
Please Jesus Christ make Kingdom Hearts 2.8
you should get more views
Thanks, I appreciate that.
So then, did Donald, Goofy, Mickey and Axel dive into the dream as well to save Riku and Sora? How did they manage that without a keyblade? Remember, Axel summoning his keyblade at the end surprises everyone, including himself, so he hadn't used it before to enter dreams. Or was that the real World that Never Was? And if that's the case, why was Riku still wearing his dream eater clothes?
I honestly didnt like this game at all i have no idea why
Birth by Sleep was the only handheld KH game I enjoyed. All the other ones just weren’t fun to me, including this one.
Glad I could see this video to (kinda) get me up to speed lol
I'm a kingdom hearts fan but I'll not play KH DDD because its confusing as fuck. not even this video helps me to understand what is going on in this game!
I can imagine a Disney executive going to nomura and saying "hey we wanna make kingdom hearts an official Disney property with movies and theme park rides and what not. There's just one thing. Can you explain the story so we know what we are dealing with?" Than nomura rambles about nonsense for several hours while the executive stares wide eyes and exasperated. Than at the end the executive just replies " wait... what?"
I don't know why I like these games there is no story its !literally just nonsense
At this point, I just want to know how Sora is going to save all the people in his heart and connected to Ventus. Terra, Aqua, Ventus, Xion, and Roxas all need to be saved, but Roxas is also Sora's nobody so that seems really complicated.
We need 3 Xehanorts in Quadrant 5
God help me the council ofXehhanort...no thank you...
I just beat this game then sought out a video to clarify a few things, thank you very much for this- I can't wait until next week :D
love the video series. so excited for KH 3 just hope it dose not come out half baked. Similar to what happend to FFXV. i loved the game tho but its story seemed empty in a lot of parts.
kingdom hearts 1 seal all key hole kingdom hearts 2 seal more keyhole dream drop distance open all keyhole (WTF?)
alright so the only thing I'm still confused on is the two separate worlds dreamed up by two separate people thing. Can someone please explain?
How many things can u fit in soras heart?
Ansem the wise stored his data self and research in his heart too? Lmfao 🤣🤣🤣. I just lost it at 21:27
I've played a lot of games and the story in this one makes less sense than Game of Thrones season 8. It just goes all over the fucking place using some characters from an obscure game no one cares about.
Much edgy, so brave.
TWEWY, an obscure game no one cares about? I think you meant "a game I don't care about, friend.
simple terms but still takes about 25 minutes, lol that's kingdom hearts for'yah
DDD is easy enough to understand what it meant for the plot as a whole but the plot within DDD like sleeping words time travel and stuff like that had me scratching my head but now that I got an explanation I have an even better grasp on gritty details, thanks for the video even after all these years later :)
I still don't know wtf happened in this game, also I thought xion didn't have a heart since she was a puppet with Sora's memories of kairi imprinted on her.
