i just wanna say, as a Kingdom Hearts fan who got into Final Fantasy later, I can conceive of no better PR job in the history of gaming than FF7 Remake + Rebirth for Aerith Gainsborough. because i grew up with THIS whispery little weirdo
BBS model: wedding ring.
KH1 model: no wedding ring.
my favorite inconsequential, dumbass Kingdom Hearts theory is that Mickey running around doing keyblade shit led to a rough patch in their marriage, potentially a trial separation
love that Sora wields the Keyblade, the bane of darkness and slayer of literal demons and he still elected to beat the shit out of Davy Jones with his bare hands. that's how pissed he was
i didn’t end up using this question for the actual Family Feud, but I surveyed one THOUSAND Kingdom Hearts fans and not a single person said Arendelle was their favorite Disney world. not even a misspelling or “the Frozen one.” a big fat 0. two people even said THE GRID
alright KH2, i'll give you this one, this is pretty neat: just found out you can lock onto stuff on the KH2 Gummi map and press O to warp to your target instead of dashing
This kid saved up all week for a sea salt ice cream.
Spent 50 Munny.
Dropped it off the clock tower after the 5th lick.
Axel didn’t buy him another one.
Nonexistence is hard, he took it well.
the Kingdom Hearts community is honestly amazing. warm, welcoming, empathic. i’m a better person for being a part of it. that being said, y’all are some of the unfunniest motherfuckers i have ever met 😭 i mean it
taking shots at Quinton Reviews and accusing him of being a content mill is really asinine when there is just….so much schlock on the platform and actual bad faith, lazy actors
The Wayfinder Project website has now launched-- search any word and get results of every time it's used across the entire Kingdom Hearts series. Every scene cataloged, with every character, world, area, and song noted, along with each scene's dialogue.
another KH1 thing I didn't know about until recently-- talking to this Moogle after synthesizing everything gives you this little moment (shoutout to
@thechainoffire
for telling me about it)
Did you know? in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, while it’s only being subtly implied in this information box, “his place” actually refers to the realm of eternal damnation, Hell, where Peter Pan comes from
Kingdom Hearts and Paper Mario TTYD both have:
- a big door everyone wants to open
- "the seven" that help open that door
- girl sending boy letter
- a world dedicated to arena-style combat matches
- Twilight Towns
- bad guys with X names
and they're both PEAK
Did you know you can freeze the bubbles in Hollow Bastion?

random weird KH1 thing: this scene is nowhere to be found in Theater Mode. it's only about 15 seconds but it's voiced and one of the few character-building scenes on the island so kinda strange
my dumbass did not realize until now that Sora was about to say "I thought this was the monster world" aka Monstropolis before Donald and Goofy shut him up lmao. i was like "why are they tackling him over this" for like 3 years, oops
Taking suggestions for the "worst" KH quotes-- could be either bad line readings, factual inaccuracies, clunky writing, or just plain dumb. (Yes the ice cream line is here, because there's enough discourse to justify its inclusion). It can be debatably good/bad!
i feel like an idiot but i am just now realizing that Kairi smacks Sora upside the head at the start of KH1. i thought he was just like still shaking off the dream powder yknow? like when you get off a treadmill and it feels like you're still moving. i never noticed her hand. wtf
remember how there was just a phantom Ursula in the beginning of Dream Drop? just hanging out in the waters of Destiny Islands. the fuck was up with that? kinda cool tbh. need more of that energy
i first played KH3 before seeing Frozen and one of the only things i knew about the movie was that the the twist villain was the male love interest, so I spent the entirety of Arendelle waiting for Kristoff to betray us
Looking for Kingdom Hearts fans to take this survey regarding the classification of games in the series. Only takes a few minutes, please share if you can! Gimme ur data
i think my least favorite new KH criticism (and there are so many to pick from) is anything along the lines of being preemptively disappointed because "KH4 looks nothing like previous KH games" like NO SHIT SHERLOCK THAT IS THE POINT. WELCOME TO Q TOWN
Nomura: sometimes I watch commentary or reaction to games I worked on. People reacting "Nomura-ism" to dialogue I wasn't involved in is interesting. I see users going "oh that's so Nomura" on parts I had nothing to do with and I am like "that wasn't me..." (laughs)
been working with
@water_kh
on a new and improved Wayfinder Project that will allow you to search any word or phrase in any of the Kingdom Hearts games and turn up every result of that word/phrase in a cutscene. the reaction image game is about to change...
i’m not exaggerating when i say that KH1 is responsible for at least half of the good things in my life. KH1 could commit several violent crimes in front of me and i would lie on the witness stand in its defense.
When my YouTube channel started to get attention, I was approached by Tetsuya Nomura about writing another Kingdom Hearts TV show. Ultimately it didn't get picked up, but here are some of my original scripts
actual message from my friend when i got dumped in the summer after high school (july 2015)
it wasn’t quite “near” but he made a good point. thanks brandon!!
