I've always been interested in the motive to climb a mountain. I learn't one of them after playing Celeste. I'm sure there is no need for introduction. It's made it's rounds on the internet when covid hit. When I played, Celeste..was therapeutic. It's helped me understand myself better as a person. I didn't have to climb a real mountain to understand why this character did it, why Celeste did it. It's a story worth playing through. The gameplay and the music alone is enough to let someone enjoy to play the game. If you haven't, give it a try. (amazing video by the way.)

The game is actually a trash bullet-heaven. There's no redraw, no banishes, the meta upgrades are unclear as to what they do, and nothing is balanced. Once you unlock a certain 6-potion "archetype" of witch those first abilities become available to you so it makes it harder and harder to unlock and utilize builds you haven't done before. The concept and artwork are absolutely incredible but this game is actual trash when it comes to a well thought-out game. Oh yeah, also unfinished and the devs moved on to another game... typical.

I'll say it is very interesting getting someone else's perspective on the game. For reference I didn't play the first game until 4 years after it came out and the second one was already making its rounds. I was 11 at the time so that should work better with what I remember the game being rated e10. Personally I always like playing the games with the default weapon because it just felt right but it was cool that the game changed your weapon in cutscenes (which also meant I was technically hitting for less than I should have) I don't think the Riku fight is any easier but you will have more tools in the final mix version of the game. A lot of fights are a lot easier if you actually just keep guard equipped just like for ansem 2 and whatnot, and the second and third version of arrow would have made life easier not only because of the defense but they also have a hitbox which would have made you do way more damage lol. Also I enjoy how metroidvania Kingdom hearts 1 is as far as letting you explore areas and coming back with new abilities to unlock chests and get items. And I really enjoyed that a lot of those movement options were put under the shared abilities list allowing Donald and Goofy to have them as well. While I love Kingdom hearts 2 a lot of those map designs are just big areas to fight enemies in and even though Sora says his friends on his power it sometimes feels like you just keep them alive to do limits or go into forms... Also sometimes I do enjoy that like a metroidvania it's not afraid to let you get lost and just wander around. Though you are not alone in the deep jungle because as a kid it took me a minute to find that one specific Vine. Also I enjoyed the flying\swimming of the game. I enjoyed the verticality and exploration. Though I will agree that it can kind of suck that you lose out on some of your movesets but overall it wasn't a big detractor for me. So I can't really agree that getting rid of it would make the game better or that getting rid of it changes nothing. For instance it's the first example that we see that the NPCs of the world knows what a keyblade is and that Sora shouldn't be meddling in the affairs of the planets he goes to which is pretty interesting. But again I get not liking all that stuff. I personally end up putting Kingdom hearts 1 and 2 side by side because while two has really fun combat there's a lot of things that it just drops that I found very enjoyable even in my recent playthroughs. Also have to mention that Kingdom hearts 1 unlike any other game in the franchise isn't afraid to be a little more creepy. But again I can go on forever and I don't think I need to make a two and a half hour long video lol(also that cutscene glitch with Kairi isn't new but I'm surprised you found it by accident)

@@NotAbsolutelySurekeep the bass boosted if you need it for the mix but maybe try cutting a bit from 200hz or so, maybe 350-400. Anything below 80hz or so is going to be “subwoofer” frequencies and you don’t want to push those too hard for vocals or you’ll get that boomy voice effect. That can be good, you don’t want vocals with no weight to them at all, but a little goes a long way. A basic compressor and limiter on vocals may help a lot, basically just helps you keep the volume up and keep things cutting through other sounds despite how it’s EQed. Also helps keep anything from peaking if there’s ever a quick jump up in volume.

@NotAbsolutelySure Also Atlantica was one of my favorite worlds because it made me second guess how I was playing and shook up combat on a meaningful way in my opinion. As for the tridents - they are present in the original PS2 version. My only complaint about the works is the last Ursula fight being OP, and Trident knowing about other worlds and the keyblade never being elaborated on. I think my least favorite world is Captain Hook's ship because I had no idea where to go half the time despite it being a small ship. The boss fight with Captain Hook wasn't bad though.

I'm like, 90% sure they had the trident arrows on the ps2 version but, now I'm wondering if anybody here knows for sure.
a couple people somewhere in the comments confirmed it was in the OG ps2 version, thankfully i think the criticism still stands regardless but im glad some people have better memories than me lol thanks for watchin and commentin!
You bastard, now i want to start another playthrough on kh1.i subscribed btw, loved your perspective. Similar to me and my brother.
appreciate the sub and thanks for watchin!
A lot of the weirdness in this franchise can be attributed to Tetsuya Nomura, Yoshinori Kitase, and Kazushige Nojima being best friends and they all seem to induldge each others wierdness
that kinda encouragement is how we get awesome stuff
Your constant swearing feels like lazy writing to me. All of it was cringe worthy.
im a really big fan of your video “jump_revenant bonus 1” looking forward to your next big project its always the people that havent made anything themselves that are the most critical lol, sorry my cussing offended you, ill be sure to increase it for the next video o7
@@NotAbsolutelySure Probably better you don't reply at all if you are going to be so defensive. I am free to have an opinion. Deal with it and grow up. Also I am proud of all my videos thank you very much.
-says something insulting obviously meant to draw out a negative response -gets negative response -surprised pikachu face? you can have all the opinions you want but you really cant be that surprised that i do not agree with you? this isnt a markiplier video, im a tiny channel and read all my comments lol, dont say dumb shit and expect me not to respond, just leave the dislike and move on fwiw you should know that by commenting you are engaging and youtube likes engagement, it helps my cringe worthy video get sent out to new people, so thank you!
@@NotAbsolutelySure You don't have to agree with me. I stand by my opinion. It is no less or more valuable than anyone else's. Take it easy.

You must have been working on this for a while - we're half way through 2024!
I started the project in like Dec of 23 and then shelved it for awhile because I thought it was going to take way too long and my lack of a sub base would mean it would flop at the time I gained a good few subscribers since then and when the KH collections got announced as going to Steam I figured I'd push really hard for a few weeks to get the video out before the launch of those collections, I'm hoping this keeps getting views because it was an assload of work but yeah it took quite a few nights of editing after work lol
@NotAbsolutelySure well so far your video is good. I beat KH1 on PS2 last month and now I'm on KH2. Videos like this make my work day much easier! Subbed
@NotAbsolutelySure Also Atlantica was one of my favorite worlds because it made me second guess how I was playing and shook up combat on a meaningful way in my opinion. As for the tridents - they are present in the original PS2 version. My only complaint about the works is the last Ursula fight being OP, and Trident knowing about other worlds and the keyblade never being elaborated on. I think my least favorite world is Captain Hook's ship because I had no idea where to go half the time despite it being a small ship. The boss fight with Captain Hook wasn't bad though.
@@midnightstrike3625 hooks ship was so disappointing lol
Alt Title: A Personal Demystification of the most baffling franchise's origins THANK YOU. I like to keep, up with gaming, even ones I didn't play. I have never ever been able to find anything that took me thru this game in a way that was coherent, made any kind of sense, didn't make me feel like I accidentally skipped a chapter or smthg, & it wasn't bc I lacked patience or wasn't trying to follow along. You're the first person who actually explained the game to me, & captured its qualities that were valued & put it in context in a few different ways. For such a jagged game/story, you made it smooth & I hope the subtle seeds you planted for us to take or leave, like in the game, blossom into a sequel. Thanks again. Liked, subbed, engaged with!
Before I fully sent on doing this myself I skimmed a few other videos to see how they did it and one of the things that I kept noticing was how pretty much every video even the "newbie friendly" ones still required prior knowledge to understand. Im definitely not the best at it but I tried my best to make this something that someone who hasnt even heard of KH before could pick up and understand by the end of it Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching! Holding out on committing to a KH2 just yet but we'll see :)
@@NotAbsolutelySure It's wild bc people explained MGS4 + Ultima VI + EVE etc to me just fine, but this was such a gap in the genre if longform retro/revs. I'm rooting for you for 2 being worth your time. Herculean effort & I'm grateful. Subbed either way + will be watching! All best.
When Ansem SoD does his charge ball in Phase 2 you can use block to stagger him and it stops his charging.
i admittedly wasnt using block a ton in endgame because for most of the game (all 3 mainline games have this issue) on lower difficulties you dont really have to block and then you get up to critical and get blasted until you do hahaha
@@NotAbsolutelySure oh you’re good. Just figured I’d mention it. Really helps in that fight.
I'm pretty sure the tridents were in the original. Also my least favorite level. I'm actually pretty sure you can skip the world entirely and still roll credits. I think the devs knew it was crap so they made it not required.
You can skip it, I’m not sure if they knew it was awful or what but you can skip it and roll credits
“We might not see our parents again” oh they told us off rip they ain’t gonna show up again 😂
the mystery of the parents is one of the funniest part of all the games
I am so mad at the algorithm for not recommending this to me the second it came out!! As someone who has been obsessed with this series for my whole life, I love watching these retrospective videos. Please make a video on 2!!! Subscribed!!
thank you for watching!
When you spoke about the second Ansem fight in the final boss gauntlet I was nodding in agreement that I almost broke my PS2 controller as a 10 year old trying to beat it
that fight is really rough for a kid lol
I always got the vibe Riku had/has a crush on Sora and is salty about how much Sora likes Kairi, and Sora is characteristically totally clueless.
that kinda headcanon makes all of the games very very funny to play
Really good video hope to see a video for kh2
thanks!
One of the best retrospectives i have heard so far about Kingdom Hearts!
I appreciate it!
this was a great video and does a good job of giving both a nostalgic and modern perspective.
Thank you!
Hope this gets a ton of views, already so relevant and funny 5 min in
appreciate it and same lol, its very gratifying that so many people are enjoying the video though
