THERE ARE FLASHING LIGHTS AT 19:03-19:40. SKIP THIS PART IF YOU'RE SENSITIVE TO THAT. Looking back, it's obvious that I completely botched the Back Cover portion of the video. I got a whole bunch of details wrong. I didn't even really acknowledge Union X despite saying that I would talk about it. It's fair to keep in mind that I made this video for 2 specific people, back when I had zero subscribers. I never expected it to get this much attention, so I didn't put in the effort to really know my stuff. If I did it today, then yeah, I would definitely have done more research. Especially because a lot more happened with Union X since then. But as it is, I admit that portion of the vid is bad. I'm still proud of the rest of it though.

I really love how Riku passes because OrgXIII just has no interest in him. Sora failed because an entire group of insanely powerful people who were not at all part of the test, hijacked it against the proctors knowledge and kidnapped him. This would be like failing a math test because someone swapped the tests to not include questions about math but instead extremely personal information about the past of one specific student. That student would do fine and everyone else would fail and the teacher just shrugs and fails everyone. KH is a fucking nightmare where nothing makes sense.

Not Snow White, Sleeping Beauty. Also "Hell" in this context refers to the place, and therefore is not a curse word, thus the G rating. Hunchback of Notre Dame also has a G rating, and they have a whole freaking song called Hellfire, the word damnation is also said and that came out in 1996. But if you think that's shocking, watch Pinocchio, also rated G, where the word "jackass" is said about 5 or 6 times. What's funnier is this becomes a double pun and is clearly being used as a swear word. Now that is getting past the censors!

@@Zinervawyrm Probably less "Getting past the censors" and more "Disney throwing its weight around". A pretty large amount of animated films from the bigger names in animation could squeeze a lot in and keep the G rating from as far back as the 50s all the way through the early 80s. Heck Don Bluth's/MGM's"Secret of Nimh" film had at least one Swear, some genuinely scary action, and gruesome character death's including: One character being crushed to death (Offscreen but you do see a hand sticking out), the villain dieing to a thrown knife in the back (with blood shown), and one character having his throat slashed open and clinging to life long enough to throw the aforementioned lethal knife.

Writers look at each other, incredulous. "Ok Nomura-san...and how do we tie that to the plot?" Nomura shrugs: "We'll make a flimsy side game and make shit up as we go along to explain it. Get writing!" Nomura barges out of the room. This happens on average 3 times a day.

@@juangalvez2404 Actually, if anything, Union X makes everything make more sense I'd argue. There are people who have done a full playthrough of the game and recorded all the cutscenes for people to watch. It's especially important to phase 2 of Kingdom Hearts because it introduces the main villains for the next part of the series (the Willful Darknesses if that wasn't obvious enough) and also, Sora will probably end up fighting the Master of Masters at one point because he either mistakes him for the villain or because he knows that what he's doing does eventually lead to a positive outcome but he just doesn't agree with the steps that MoM is taking to get there... that's what I think at least.

Seeing the "Unchained [chi]"/UX rant, I can only assume this script and publishing was before the big ending infodump a month prior to closure, but I'm not about to go back down that rabbit hole at this time of night to check. But, do want to remark on this glimpse into the partial-information periods of "understanding" KH lore, and wonder how much clarity and/or misconception I'll've had once more lore comes out (which, we now know, will be late 2022 with Dark Road's further delays, oh BUDDY).

The biggest problems that I have with the Kingdom Hearts games is how every single game is all connected with the plot of the story which makes understanding the story more complicated. I think that each Kingdom Hearts game should have had a separate storyline with all new Disney and Final Fantasy characters with a new main character that you play has. I also think that there needs to be a better balance of Final Fantasy characters and Disney characters within the Kingdom Hearts games. It seems way to much Disney in the worlds and not enough Final Fantasy in the games. Every Kingdom Hearts game ends in cliffhanger cutscenes so you are always left with wondering what happened. It never ends the story with any satisfaction. Which is nothing more than cheap advertising marketing to promote the next Kingdom Hearts game for people to buy. Also, once you get a full understanding of this complicated storyline in all of the Kingdom Hearts games you realize on how poorly written the plot of the story was. The first Kingdom Hearts game has a enjoyable simple straight forward story that was pretty good. After the first Kingdom Hearts game the story of the series just got over complicated and poorly written with the characters. Kingdom Hearts 3 made the plot to the story of the series even worse which is why after a while I lost interest in the series because there is never going to be a real ending to the story.

35:21 The perception of time and the speed of light, as well as frequency, varies between dimensions. A single year can pass in a matter of seconds, minutes and hours. In theory, the lower the frequency, the slower the perception of time in density and darkness, but I mean, it's the opposite in this case, I guess. Probably has to do with Aqua being in a state of hibernation at some point, just like Ventus. I don't know, but it seems the most likely explanation. (PS: You could say she's like a water bear in the sense that, whenever she's knocked out or unconscious, she hibernates due to the adverse environment, in this case, the dark world, so she probably just kept getting into lower and lower frequencies of dimensions that ultimately made her feel like she's been wandering for what it seems like an eternity while also avoiding too much aging while fainting or something, somwhat similar to how, when we are unconscious, we lose track of time and seem to awake after falling asleep moments earlier. The same could be applied each time she goes to sleep or remains unconscious, and the more she does so, the more time passes logarithmically, since, the less frequency, the more time it takes for her to wake up, sort of how The Final World is where all hearts end up because that's the limit of their world. Hearts in that world prpbably died millions of years ago, and some others a few thousand, who knows. The point is that, when a heart/soul sleeps in lower frequencies, the more it takes for them to wake up, and since the bodies remain in a sort of limbo while they sleep, they don't age until awake, which is why, despite Aqua being supposed to age quicker, she does so, but only when awake. To explain this, say that a second from Sora's perspective is a few months for Aqua. By the end of a few minutes in the realm of light, Aqua should actually be dead, but it doesn't happen because every milisecond she sleeps or is unconscious in the realm of darkness, the longer it takes for her to wake up, so she may be sleeping for eons before actually waking up, and those eons in the realm of darkness translate into the realm of light as a few years. Since she needs to sleep every so often, say she sleeps 10 times. The first time she sleeps to regain strength, she'll be done in about a few days relative to the realm of light, and the longer she spends in the realm of darkness, the deeper she goes, and the more time is required, so the second time she sleeps takes probably months in the realm of light, the third time, all the way to the tenth time is probably already an inmeasurably long time, so it's only natural that, from the realm of light's perspective, it's already been a few years. The last time we see Aqua unconscious in the tealm of darkness is when Ansem knocks her off into a deeper, slower dimensional frequency, and by that point, who know how long it's been since she was driven to dispair. I mean, if you really think about it, she goes from hopeful and ready to fight without a keyblade to super depressed and angry, so it must have been that she came back from that frequency into a higher frequency of the realm of darkness. Think of it like this: the "frequencies" and "dimensions" I keep speaking about are basically higher and different "facets" of reality that exist in the worlds and realms, so it's the same world, but from a different side, which is why the same beach of Destiny Islands get gradually distorted the weaker the light is and the more density and stagnancy grow. Basically, the dimmer and darker it gets, the stronger the darkness, and, even in the realm of darkness, the same "beach" actually isn't the same place in higher or lower frequencies, which is why the same "beach" in the realm of light isn't dark or has the type of rocks the beach has in the realm of darkness, and in a deeper abyss, the same "beach" may look the same, but has different people in it, or is even more dangerous than the prior, which is why, when Aqua falls into an even darker abyss, Mickey can't track her that far because her connection to him is getting even weaker, simply because she didn't just sink into the water, also she sank into an even darker frequency of dimensions of that same "beach", so she is no longer in the same dimensional frequency as Riku and Mickey, meaning, she' not in "that beach", but in "another", and the deepr the abyss, the more slow and stagnant things are, which is why life cannot exist there, only death, unless people retain life by being strong enough to overcome those frequencies, which is why Mickey couldn't go in his present condition. In "lame terms", just think about an inter-dimensional-level difficulty of "spot the difference", just that all facets seem to overlap as "lenses", giving the illusion it's exactly the same place in every single way, except when the comparison is the realm of dakrness in relation to the realm of light, which obviously has a lot of easily spotable differences, like how, in lower frequencies, the world is always night, or how the layout is a bit different. Now, take those concepts and apply it to only frequencies between the realm of darkness and it's almost unnoticable, since it looks exactly the same in some cases, with little details that stand out, like the difference in strength of the heartless hordes, even though it seems like the same.)

Just as a note that I don't know if it ever happens but wouldn't it be excellent if cutscenes showed friendship more without having to say it? Sometimes it works well, like (imo) in BBS where they meet in the Keyblade Graveyard and it's clear they all care about each other deeply... But they *talk* about friendship so much in the series. Imagine, Aqua trying to free Terra in cutscene by going into Terra's D-Link and using effects to show that it's Terra - her friend - that empowers and motivates her. Ventus using a mix of Aqua and Terra D-Links in cutscene as a way of severing ties from his Venitas D-Link that he ends the fight with. Terra using the Ventus D-Link in his fight with Eraqus or later Xehanort if you want Terra to keep the darkness empowered theme of the cutscene. There's so many fascinating ideas that games don't use in cutscenes that would tie narrative and gameplay in the actual scenes instead of just gameplay (though I like it in gameplay too). It's just disappointing that Kingdom Hearts has some of the highest highs of this type of thing (Riku and Sora vs Xemnas, using Riku as a reaction to assist and defend, even playing as Riku specifically to save Sora) and then later games screw it over by failing to do it well and instead using Sora as a big broken record player who knows so little about what he's talking about that even fans find him annoying in the non-charming way... Reminds me of what Ansem SoD says in KH1. "You know nothing and therefore understand nothing." (Paraphrased, I can't remember the exact wording)

The plot of the one forteller wanting to break the rules and summon kingdom hearts to get the master back is like 100% the same plot as Final Fantasy XIII. I'm not even joking. "...he [Barthandelus] plans to destroy Cocoon in order to sacrifice the residents so their souls can force Etro's Gate to fully manifest and reunite his kind with the Maker who created them." Replace maker with master and Etro's Gate with Kingdom Hearts and yeah, same stuff. There's more connections but I'm too lazy to bring them up and I want to get back to watching the video.
