I'm [Kingdom], he's [Hearts], and that's [Thread].

Everything you need to know about Kingdom Hearts:

These are the main characters:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vd5QZrJDV2U&feature=player_embedded#!

Got it memorized?

Some games don't have these guys. Well, they usually have a guy who looks like Sora but not Sora himself. These games are 358/2 Days (Yes that is the name) and Birth By Sleep. Re:Coded doesn't star Sora either, except it does.

This guy is the villain.



It makes even less sense if you play the games.

These are the games:

Kingdom Hearts: Disney Worlds, FF characters, bad camera, semi sensible story.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=371G9tTF-4w

Darkness is the heart's true essence!

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories: Cards, rehash, Org XIII members dying like flies, Blondes having more fun:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOqLY8xzF4g&feature=related

PS2 Version opening, the first version is on GBA. Even the opening is a rehash.

Kingdom Hearts II: Shitty FF cameos, good Disney worlds, plot finally falls into itself creating a black hole of Kingdom Hearts ness. Add X to everything to make it sound cooler.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0q4Z5Iik9Oc&feature=related

He's talking about Riku in the beginning. Ignore the girl. Also I hope you like Sanctuary, you'll be hearing it a lot.

Kingdom Hearts:Coded/Re:Coded: It's basically MGS2, only instead of Raiden doing Shadow Moses, Mickey does KH1. Again. Re:Coded was released on the DS and is a lot better.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dhn0OUSjaMs

Re:Coded intro. Hard to find footage of a cellphone game like Coded, so I went with the DS version. This game actually isn't half bad though few people even know it exists.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days: It's got Roxas! Multiplayer! Sea Salt Ice Cream! It takes place in that crazy area between 1 and 2 and therefore has a ton of retreads like the other game in that area!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eRPhPOoplE

I hope you like sea salt ice cream and backstory. Mainly sea salt ice cream. Also back to Sanctuary.

Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep: 3 in 1, just like the holy trinity. Basically KH Zero, new worlds unlike the rest of the non numbered games. Same plot as Naruto. Surprisingly fun.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmSVTJMo1e8

True Story: First time I heard this intro I thought some fan took a trailer and put Simple and Clean over it to make a fake ending. Boy was I wrong!

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance: NEKU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnyQWDmYQjw

NEKU, Riku, NEKU, Summon Beast thingee, NEKU, Done by the BBS team so it'll probably be better than KH III, NEKU.

If you don't want to play all these games just go with 1, 2, and BBS. CoM is pretty fun if you like CaRdPGs, and actually does an ok job of explaining the incomprehensible KH2.

Final Mixes: They exist. No you don't get to play them. Well, if you played the western version of KH1 then you played 90% of the first final mix. If you played Re:CoM then you played the bonus game from KH 2 FM. KH 2 FM is amazing, it actually has semi difficult fights and references BBS. No, you can't play it without importing, they didn't release it here because it was too much of a game to release on regular gaijin DVDs.

So play the games with:

and the one with the same plot as Naruto:

WHAT THIS THREAD IS FOR:

Hearts, Darkness, Celebrity Voice Acting and sound alikes, Shameless Disney Cross Promotion, Lord Nomura's fabulous belt filled artstyle, wishing for TWEWY 2, Light, Lookalikes, Soul tag a longs, Nobodies, Heartless, Pete. Gummy Ships from KH1 can be discussed, but not Final Mix unless Gilder says so.

Also please feel free to post various KH fanart and offical art as this game has some good ones.

+1 for TWEWY 2.

To this day I can't understand why I enjoyed KH2 so much.

Sea Salt Ice Cream.

Big Red Tie

NEKU

Gilder

Aw man, we can't discuss how amazing the gummy ships are in KH1? Phooey.

Just kidding, we should talk about how amazing they are in KH1 Final Mix!

Spoit

I thought the cellphone game was just Coded, and it was the DS remake that was Re:Coded.

Is the new trailer that was shown at that 3ds event earlier today up somewhere yet?

El Fantastico

The best thing about KH games are usually the main themes, like Dearly Beloved, though I could say most of the music in the games are all very good. Neku better be a playable character. PIN attacks > Keyblades.

Coded is cellphone. Re:Coded is the DS port/remake. It's shockingly good for a cellphone port and probably the better of the two DS games.

Pretty sure that is the new KH trailer.

Spoit

Ah, from the feeds it sounded like an actual trailer.

UncleSporky

Not sure if you're joking about Coded like you are everything else, but it was ported to the DS last January. I suppose that doesn't make it any easier to find footage for it though, it was a pretty low key release.

EDIT: Well ok then.

Huggles

Wait, no. My abiding memory of KH2 was this http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=208.

I already went on a quest to rescue you, dammit. Get back in line.

hadoken

Any chance that they will port BBS to PS3? God, it looks gorgeous.

Xenogears of Bore

So far there have been two ports, one from cellphone to DS, one from GBA to PS2. Both were spinoffs like BBS.

Grimthwacker

HEARTS DARKNESS LIGHT LOL!!!

KH 3D had better be good considering how much of a step up Birth By Sleep was from the other portable games. Also, Neku. Would not mind if Shiki made a special appearance too.

Xenogears of Bore

I will be downright angry if Shiki isn't in DDD.

hadoken

There are too many KH games on all sorts of platforms i don't own, shame they didn't stick to the playstation consoles.

The Wolfman

I think I'm the only one who cares more about the original story they're trying to tell than the disney stuff, as pathetic as that sounds. It's the only new and interesting plot, because every single disney world is just a 45 minute rehash of the movie. And when you strip away everything but the whole light dark heart story... well you can really see how silly and ridiculous it is.

Grimthwacker

Yeah, I don't exactly know what kind of direction they were shooting for with the truncated Disney stories, but they were pretty fun to see when they were executed well. The original stuff they've been putting to the forefront has actually been quite good (see BbS) when it's not being so overly convoluted. I blame Nomura.

NOMURRRRAAAAAAAAAA!!!! :evil:

randombattle

Fucking Neku what the fuck!? What the hell is this doing in KH?

Make another TWEWY god damnit!


Wait no Tron was in KH2 and then they announced Tron Legacy.. By that logic TWEWY 2 is announced!

Xenogears of Bore

I can't be mad at anyone with a G Gundam avatar so I'll tell you this; when asked about Neku in DDD SE coyly hinted at more to come from Neku and friends.

The Anonymous

You forgot to mention the other mobile KH game.

Shut up about the movie quality, this is literally the only footage of it I can find.

That is pretty much the whole series in a nutshell.

Before KH2 anyway.

I'd gladly take that over Kingdom Hearts: Emo Blonde and Mary Sue any day.

They did kinda sorta miss the part where

Xion is (briefly?) trans,

but yeah. That's the only stuff in Days that even vaguely matters.

Xenogears of Bore

New 3D video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEGqO1Bg3ZU Pretty short, but there's some new gameplay footage during the second half. I guess those bars we saw in earlier trailers don't come into play until later?

UnbreakableVow

Goddammit

Why would you make a KH thread without an announcement of KH3

All talking about shitty portable games, MEH, give me that fucking 360/PS3 KH3 stat

hadoken

I would buy the shit out of KH3, especially if it comes with another awesome J-pop song.

Seriously, where the hell is KH3

Xenogears of Bore

Blame yourself or Versus XIII.

UnbreakableVow

Versus XIII better be fucking awesome

I'd settle for "existing" at this point

Xenogears of Bore

It's basically too late to expect KH III on any current gen system.

It would fit nicely on the Wii U however.

Oxymoron

But come on, you were setting up for that

C2B

Since I only just played through the KH series I'm a little lost here. How is BBS the same plot as Naruto? I have seen the comparison a few times but I just don't get it. The main games have more connections to Naruto for me than BBS ever did. (I actually read Naruto to my shame)

(Then again. I also don't get how FFXII is any more Star Wars than any other FF Plot so I may just be bad at comprehensing and comparing plots in general)

Xenogears of Bore

It's a fairly loose comparison to how the main characters react to power.

Cantido

TEWEY's story runs circles around KH. I shudder to think of Neku in KH babbling about darkness.

Yes Neku's a jackass, but he pays for it, over and over until he fixes it. In any other JRPG, he'd be that way to the very end, and he'd have two girls in his party throwing their vaginas at him.
