The plot can be summed up as so.
"Aqua is acting babysitter hunting for Ven and Terra. Ven whines as he's trying to find is big brother Terra. And Terra is reenacting the plot of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith".
WeirdoTZero this is actually weirdly accurate
Lord terra slay the young one (ven) for he is strong in the light
All I could think of through Terra's campaign was Episode 3.
Holy fuck this is so funny but so accurate
Aqua's chasing Ven who's chasing Terra
Whos chasing Xehanort Who's causing Trouble
Terra is just Knuckles. Tough, strong, not too bright, tricked by bad guys. I feel the sonic adventure comparison is fairly apt.
nah that's Aced. (he's the true Knuckles of KH)
no, Aced is Boom Knuckles
I’m glad I’m not the only one that was comparing Kingdom hearts to Sonic. At first I thought Riku was more like knuckles. But now that I think about it, he’s more like Shadow.
See I kind of see Terra as a Kingdom Hearts/anime version of Anakin Skywalker lol. A lot of Star Wars prequel vibes from this game actually!
@@Mc80sEntertainment Exactly. Xehanort was literally just Chancellor/Emperor Palpatine, and I guess you could compare Braig to Count Dooku, if Dooku actually lived and just lost an eye
I was starting to think KH3 would come out before this
It did, it's called Kingdom Hearts 3*D* Dream Drop Distance!
If you couldn't tell, that was a joke. I hear that the real KH 3 has a 2018 release window, officially making Kingdom Hearts 3's development last 13 years. (See where this is going?)
General Snivy kh3 has only been in development since 2013
Oh. Maybe I was thinking of the release window since Kingdom Hearts 2 as that has released in 2005. Oops.
+TheAceOfSpades It's supposed to come out in 2018 so if Rerez is anything to go by than Nintendo is gonna get wiped of the face of the earth because people actually want Nintendo to die (I'm being sarcastic with the last part though)
Kingdom Hearts 3 already has a release date its December 31st 2018
Washing your hair for over a year? Hm...
So that's why it looks so nice in the video!
Am i really the only one bothered by the way he pronounces "vanitas"
The Coffee Alchemist I don't know how he doesn't get the real pronunciation
Mitchell Warnick i honestly dont fucking know dude
The Japanese pronunciation is Vah•nee•tasu
Same here
No... You Aint
Ladies and gentlemen.
We now have a Kingdom Hearts three-way.
We need a 3 way collaboration on Dream Drop Distance when they all finally reach the end.
😂That sounds dirty
Maybe they're all doing Kingdom Hearts video's and then when KH3 comes out they all do a three way collaboration video? that would be awesome, make it happen guys!.
who is the third one? there's Somecallmejohnny then ant dude. ...then?
The third one being Caddicarus.
Nice video and all, but when are you getting to Birth By Sleep?
hey antdude
AntDude Johnny has beat you to it.
THATS MY FAVORITE IN THE SERIES
Dude, Are you and Johnny on some kind of Calendar
Dude when are you getting to Crash Bandicoot?
I can't believe that BBS was actually a Sonic Adventure rip-off this entire time
MikuMiku5 Where's Goofy's Goofy Fishing Adventure 3?
And it goes even deeper the so called classic windows 98 game Extremely Goofy Skating is just a reskin of sonic r and Mickeys Speed Way USA on the n64 is just a reskin of diddy kong racing the bastards! To think it was just under our nose the whole time right there in the code!
Always has been
And a Kingdom Hearts version of Fortune Street (a game I do like, except it could get questionable at times like when Princess Daisy complained “I thought we were gonna be together forever!” to her significant other Luigi... Get it?! Because Mario and Princess Peach are a plumber and a princess that are a romantic couple that also failed to be married in Super Mario Odyssey, so why not have another one of them?! Okay, okay, in all seriousness, though, I get where they were going for, but I am in actuality a Luaisy supporter because they seem to get along very well with each other, in fact, even when they were toddlers as shown in Mario Kart Wii, they had a romance and strong friendship with each other since there is both statues of the main and baby versions of the characters dancing together).
Caddy, Johnny and Antdude all doing KH at the same time. Pinch me.
Genindraz Who do you think Caddy meant?.
MechaMinilla99 Had a brain fart, didn't see that part.
caddicuras
Lol I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that.
HARDER.
...Uh, I mean, thanks.
3:29 no, Darkness is not evil or bad, it's merely HARDER to control than Light because Darkness feeds off of more unstable emotions like anger, jealousy, fear or frustration. Only when you master your more unstable emotions do then master darkness. This was already explained in Chain of Memories
Like fire bending
I am someone who doesn't despise Terra, he is basically Riku's story but with worse results, poor guy, he loses his body like Riku almost did
"This is your body on Darkness"
I feel like Terra was more of a unlucky guy than an idiot. In my opinion KH1 Riku was worse than Terra as at least the latter wasn’t a @$$ and does something right at the end of his travels.
Plus I feel like he got a very worse fate than Ven or even Aqua.
I like Terra but I think his story is bad
Riku is the best KH character in my opinion
@@marcoa6319 did you literally forget the end of kh1? he helped close Kingdom Hearts
The movie doesn't cover the plot of Kingdom Hearts _X._ The movie focuses on the 5 masters of each faction in _X,_ meanwhile _X_ itself focuses on your own player character and their interactions with a young boy as tensions rise leading into the Keyblade war. Basically the movie is the behind the scenes of the Keyblade war where the game is the frontline perspective of the Keyblade War.
Oh and he has Union cross too.
too bad X sucks...
Except we really don't see the actual damn War ever. That, and I really don't wanna see the *KEYBLADE WAR* portrayed by a bunch of puppet looking guys with barely more animation than a Theatrhythm model.
Groisu Well I just felt the need to specify so that he doesn't overlook the X game's story because he thinks the movie covers it.
UltimaKeyMaster Um...use your imagination then? That's always better than the real thing, regardless of medium.
Terra is pretty much the Anakin of kingdom hearts.
BIGsmokedawg19 His story is basically episode 3.
BIGsmokedawg19 except that Terra in the secret ending talking to Xehanort saying he won't overcome him in the end says otherwise.
BUT TERRA, XEHANORT IS EVIL!! FROM MY POINT OF VIEW, ERAQUS IS EVIL I MEAN
YEAH MAYBE A LITTLE
If you think of it both terra and anakin became trapped in suits of armour and ended up mere shells of what they once were, episode 3 confirmed
BIGsmokedawg19 Hey let’s be fair to Anakin, he was incredibly intelligent and was quite the inventor as far back as his Tatooine days. Terra just sort of sits there lol
"vah nee tas"
for fuck sake, antdude
tha's what im saying.
Spin Topple dont forget Eraquees
If pronunciations are the only issue you have you might the one with the issue my dude?
Spin Topple and zehanort =D
i cringed everytime he said it
The PSP is kinda popular in Japan
It was pretty popular in general but didn't have much outside RPGs
I'm assuming by Braig's dumb pay off, you mean his line of "I'M ALREADY HALF XEHANORT!"
It's funny that Antdude, SomecallmeJohnny and Caddicarus are all doing a Kingdom Hearts retrospective at the same time. Even more funny that you and Caddicarus put out KH videos in the same day. EVEN more funny that SomecallmeJohnny last KH video was Birth by Sleep as well
Um, the PSP wasn't popular? It's the 8th best selling console of all time... I'd take that lack of success...
You can call me Terra.
Unlike Ventus I don't chuckle.
I'd rather flex my muscles.
tougher than knuckles
Its nice to see someone in the KH community come to the same conclusions about the issues with the more recent games' combat systems and not be immediately ignored or attacked by the community saying "you shouldn't care about the combat only the story" or the popular "you only care about the combat because you are a speed runner or technical game player, so you observations on the game don't matter" let's not forget that while the story is important, this is a GAME not a movie which means the feel and quality of the combat is really important
ah yes, the quality combat of button mashing endlessly with no strategy in kh1 and 2, so much better.
Calling it now, as soon as Antdude, Caddicarus, and (maybe) SomecallmeJohnny finish up their Kingdom Hearts Retrospective, they all get together for a 3-Man review of KH3.
Oops
Why? Because Aqua is beautiful and deserves nice things. That's why.
We have so much KH, AntDude, Caddicarus, and Somecallmejohnny
Thank you for this!! The madness you must've went through to make this story make sense to your viewers mustve been crazy!!
The KH x(Chi) movie doesn't actually go over everything in the game. In fact, Union Cross is also thing now soooo this retrospective may need like 20+ more years
Oh I can't wait to see him talk about the newest "leader' if you know what I'm talking about.
I thought Union X (Cross) was an update to X (Ki).
012 (Duodecim)
King Kazuya yeah, agreed 😅
Jonny you already did this game a few days ago you don't need to... wait a minute.
This game's ending was so heartbreaking that I dunno if I can bring myself to play the game again.
to be fair about the fortune street thing: this was the us' 1st exposure to the series. we didn't get the wii one didn't come till a few years later
and this is exactly the thing, people confuse being hard to explain, with being hard to understand. the story is simple, and works, but explaining everything makes it feel much more convoluted than it really is.
Um Antdude, D-Link can be leveled up. It's sort of random, but you have to battle enemies until a keychain item pops out. It will level up the command deck of the link you are using, as well as grant status buffs, such as Regen or reduced buffer times as well as really powerful finishers.
And even more important, it levels up the commands in your regular command deck as well. That's even the entire point of Stitch's D-Link. He makes leveling your commands so much quicker. While I do feel as Mickey and Stitch were the only I used by the end of each character, Ventus was amazing to have near the beginning of a critical mode playthrough.
Daniel Hughes Excuse me, but, do you know how to get the Secret Episode in Birth By Sleep Final Mix for the ps4? I've gotten to the end of the Final Episode, but I REALLY don't know how you're supposed to get to the Secret Episode. I know, it's secret, but it's really pissing me off that I can't get to it. Is it not available if you beat the game on Beginner? I refuse to play BBS on anything higher than beginner, because I haven't gotten the finer points of strategy on the command deck down and the final bosses for Terra and Ven are pretty much hard enough on beginner, and I'm still not ready for higher difficulties yet, even though I've been playing Kingdom Hearts ever since it first came out in 2002, when I was a little boy, and even as a KH veteran, i still feel like i don't know a damn thing, and I REALLY hate the command board and all of the disney town minigames. Especially the ice cream rhythm bullshit. I hope those aren't tied to playing the Secret Episode. If you don't know, it's fine. Either way, have a great day/night, and may your heart be your guiding key.
@@shawnfields2757 The game even explain at the dificulty selection screen that you cant get it on beginner.
You will have to play it on harder dificulty if you want to unlock it.
The harder the difficulty the easiest it is to unlock.
Or just watch it on youtube...
A bit late but yeah. Tbf if you don't want to you can ignore 80% of the cool mechanics in the game, especially in standard. I played Ventus first in standard, then Terra and Aqua in Proud. Coming back to each for the reports I found out that my Ventus save had a horrible deck with pretty mediocre commands and I didn't even know how command styles worked. My Terra save on the other hand had good commands but were ordered terrible so they didn't proc the command styles. My Aqua save on the other hand had a good command deck.
Finally. I have waited for so long. Amazing video. Thank you for bringing it back.
FINALY, ANT DUDE YOU SPEND 2 MUCH TIME WASHING YOUR HAIR
Okay GradeAUnderA returned from the dead and AntDude actually released a new episode of the Kingdom Hearts retrospective?
What timeline are we in?
Matthew The Autism Guy grade a under a is cancer
Matthew The Autism Guy a bad one with grade coming back
the Schmiyamoto timeline
The one where Goku dies.
Not to mention JonTron, though he's been back for a little while.
I was looking for this kh retrospective - thank you antdude, thank you
VAHN- EE- TAAS? Really?! How do you get that from all the times they say his name?!
majorxadamska also he says the *EX* Blade when it's pronounced *KEY*
A_Lampshade and the irony is Square Enix is wrong too because that letter is pronounced Kai.
@@a_lampshade2278 It makes sense for X Blade and Keyblade because It would be too confusing.
Cause he says vanitas in the correct way, vanitas is the Latin for Void/Emptyess, the stressed syllable is the first one... I know, it sounds off, but it's the correct pronounciation
You are AMAZING at explaining Kingdom Hearts!!! I love it!
If feel when AntDude, Somecallme Johnny and Caddy finish their KH retrospective/marathons/reviews, that's when a concrete release date for KH3 will be revealed.
Ahhh antdude, how I've missed you so. New videos from you honestly brighten my day :)
Washing your hair?
Ok, Antdude, I'll let you off just this once because your hair *is* very luxurious
Omg kids the dude of ants is finally back!
Woppo Jr Try 3 weeks bud
With Johnny, Caddy, and now you uploading new KH videos, I'm kind of burnt out.
Antman, my dude, you always bring the best content on youtube to my dashboard
finally! and it's my favourite kh? nice video btw xD
Oh snap! Another Kingdom Heart AntDude vid!
I still play Kingdom Hearts, even though the amount of times it mentions "light" and "darkness" and "heart" makes it sound like an emo person. Like an extremely, EXTREMELY EMO person.
ThatOneLegend Emerald emo is still a thing?
Yeah the whole cheesiness is what drove me away from the whole series in the end
God I Want To Die same, it was more cheesy than a box of cheddar cheez its.
"it's no use!"
*LOOKS AT ANTDUDE*
"Stop it"
I just realized that Terra is Ryu (Street Fighter) as a Keybearer. Both characters have to deal with their in darkness and so forth.
DAMN IT!!!! You upload this right when a new Union Cross untranslated story update gets released!!!! WHY!!!!
"Someone is going to have to tell him about all the insane card games he missed out on"
ventus eyebrows are brown. Roxas eyebrows are blond. That how you tell the difference
You can also tell by there shirts
30 minutes of Antdude? EXTRA THICC.
This was a pleasant surprise on an already pleasant day, thanks for making my day even better.
Pretty cool that Caddy and Johnny are also doing KH marathons. Sweet!
I love Kingdom hearts
after buying the 1.5 and 2.5 combo and 2.8 for PS4 at the same time, i played and/or watched the entire series in cannonical order and let me say this: it actually made the story VERY easy to follow
Spock1777 Which one did you start with, because I'm also playing the KH remastered games again, and watching the KH games which have been turned into hd cutscenes in order, except for the back cover movie, because it's stupid boring, and confusing, even though it's first, then Birth By Sleep, 0.2 Birth By Sleep (even though it's story takes place right at the end of the original KH) the original Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts: Chain Of Memories, 358/2 Days, Kingdom Hearts 2, Re:Coded, Dream Drop Distance, and finally Kingdom Hearts 3. I'm doing it again because I'm a die-hard KH veteran who's been playing since 2002, when I was a little boy, and I wanted to see how Disney and Final Fantasy would mix together, and hearing Simple And Clean in the commercials REALLY helped. I agree, it's easy to follow once you play through all of them at once, but at the time, before they were wonderfully packed together, the wait for a new Kingdom Hearts game was near unbearable, and if you didn't have EVERY console that the series branched onto, you'd be hopelessly lost. I know I was when I transitioned from KH1, to KH2. Because I didn't know about Chain Of Memories, I was lost. I fixed that years later though. Plus, I'm celebrating the release of KH3, which I'm still working on playing, but I'm still at Olympus, and enjoying how great the graphics look and how awesome the gameplay is. I also don't know how you unlock the Secret Episode in Birth By Sleep. So, I'm stuck there, but currently on Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix, on Standard, because you can't get the secret ending unless you play it on a higher difficulty, which is fine. Sorry this was so long, but being as passionate about this series as I am, I had a lot to say. Have a great day/night, and may your heart be your guiding key.
>Pronounces name wrong
>"Yes, the names are weird"
Thanks, AintDody.
This game had the most memorable and epic final boss fight in the whole series for me. My favorite part was Terras finale with Xeanort. But goddam there better be a Stitch world in KH3!!
Corey Mckee As much as I love the idea of a Stich world (Lilo and Stich is in my top 5 Disney films) I feel it would be redundant. I mean other than them being in Hawaii and fighting tropical themed Heartless, I don't think there would be much to it.
Daniel Silva how would it be redundant?? What would make it any worse than the other worlds??
Corey Mckee You know what? You have a good point there.
Daniel Silva thank you😊
I agree with you on all fronts, literally EVERYTHING
Castle of dreams in the secret ending is so cool i love it when disneys referenced in the actual cutscenes
The Station Square music from Sonic Adventure in the end slate was a nice touch
So first Johnny, then Caddy and now Antdude. It's a Kingdom Hearts Buffet!
Neither AntDude nor Johnny mentioned that Aqua meets the real Ansem (the hooded figure) in the Realm of Darkness. He was locked away after his machine exploded in KH2.
I've been waiting for so long! Yes!
You can level up D-Links too tho, and it's an optional feature that doesn't get in the way if you don't use it.
"I was washing my hair"
Best. excuse. ever.
Yay! An antdude kingdom hearts video on my birthday
What?! I thought you gave up on this! Thank you for these :)
I've been waiting for this day, AntDude.
OK need to do some clear up, sorry. The spell Aqua casted on Kairi was to allow her heart to go into another's heart, which is why Kairi landed on the Destiny Islands. Also you are right on the Ventus thing, its because his heart is inside Sora that explains why Roxas looks like Ven.
0.2 is more a tech demo for KH3, which the newer trailers look SO MUCH better.
Also if you though explaining the plot of this game was, have fun with DDD. Sorry, you did this to yourself. Trust me, I've been a fan for a long time and honestly forgave a lot of mistakes they made. But DDD's plot, ain't one of them and I know I am not the only KH fan who feels that way.
BleachBummer mmm... I watched the game play of 3D before playing and I only half understand that main plot😅
For a game that was so fun to play it's a real shame what they did story wise.
The time travel thing was...yeah I already know your gonna struggle explaining that one. Great retrospective, been waiting forever for this!
I'm definitely using that Sonic Adventure comparison whenever I talk about Birth By Sleep from now on.
Ok, with the constant sonic adventure references, the time travel bit at the end, and sonic themed music in the background, will antdude talk about sonic 06 next, oh boy
Wait, a kingdom hearts video? From Antdude?! Impossible!!!
love how you played sonic adventure music at the end
I was waiting for a new retrospective :D
FINALLY! He talks about Birth By Sleep. Thank you Antdude, for finally giving us another KH Retrospective.
I just realized something about the Wayfinder trio. They all literally represent the triforce in some way. Terra is Power for obvious reasons. Aqua is Wisdom, because also for obvious reasons, and Ventus is Courage because he is literally not afraid to go after his friends to save them.
Boi, my favorite youtuber...
Somecallme Caddidude!!!
Took me a while to get into the deck system but man it made this game so much fun. One of the best KH games no competition.
Terra is Anakin Skywalker
And just about as likabale LoL.
thank you for this ep
Man, Johnny had time to start his KH marathon and get up to BbS in the time between this and your last KH video
Using the Station Square music in the end card positively SLAYED ME, and I don't know why!
After watching all your KH videos so far I'm still so lost
Dude
It’s Vuh-nee-tus.
Vanitas is said this way because saying it like Vah-ni-tas starts to hurt after a while.
That Sonic Adventure music to close it out was perfect, I was like "wait, this is... oh, I see what you did there, very good you dude of ants"
I know the Kingdom Hearts franchise has a LOT of problems. Some with the combat in some games, plot, plot, and more plot. But honestly I just have so much love and nostalgia for it that I look past it and enjoy myself. Kingdom Hearts is what got me into video games. I got a PS2 for Christmas when I was 6 and that was the game I wanted most to play. It has a lot of flaws and problems but I can always play it and enjoy. But also sometimes cringe.
I loved the PSP, I was so mad that they never released a true Sonic game on it. I love the battle system of BBS so much more than KH1 and 2. The D-link is good for healing early on in higher difficulty. Also I'm addicted to the Command Board.
Ah I loved this review SomecallmeJohnny!
"I'll explain why later" the most dreaded words in the KH casual fandom because trying to make sense of nonesense is a herculean task for the ages.
I swear I was in school today and was thinking to myself "Huh, Antdude hasn't uploaded in a while and hasn't talked about KH in a while, I wonder what's up with that" and then you uploaded when I got home. Perfect timing my dude
I hope he knows that X Back Cover doesn't tell you the entire plot of the X saga :T
21:31 Tower? Wow, this explanation must have really messed with your head.
Also, keep up the great work with these videos. They must have been a real pain to do without messing up.
Legend fore told there would come another retrospective
“It’s kind of washed out and it makes you wish you were back in a place like Disney town”
Oh I don’t know maybe *THATS THE POINT*
I T ' S N O U S E
MaryElizabeth Nicholes I was reading this comment when the scene came up, lol so weird.
Ya know what's weirder? That's not Terra's soul in the armor. I love this vid.
Caddicarus and AntDude video on Kingdom Hearts on the same day. Too much Kingdom Hearts.
Birth by sleep is my favorite i stand by that
Awesome episode! I totally died when you said the 2 is in roman numerals and the 8 is an actual number haha
AntDude: Nobody dies in Kingdom Hearts!
(Shows Eraquis dies)
AntDude: Oh!?
