Kingdom Hearts is very vague about how they live on Destiny Islands. The more you think about how they live there the more questions come up.

They KIND of explain but not by actual telling on how Sora and co. live a little further down the line buuuut yeah his home is kind of blank as hell.

\/ EDIT: yeaaaaah again it's very vague, the kids don't actually live ON the island, they just row out to it as their own little playden like a treehouse but except it's...an island, you can see their boats on the beach shore when you were fighting the Idiot Crew.

They actually live in another settlement next to the islands, they barely ever talk about it.

Also, Thalassa was the Greek goddess of the sea and the birth-mother of Aphrodite according to one myth. There's no such thing as thalassa shells but there are two other terms particularly with thalassa in the title. Thalassophobia, the fear of the sea, and Thalassaemia, which is a Mediterranean equivalent of Sickle Cell Anaemia.

More voice actor trivia!

In this game, Alice is played by Kathryn Beaumont, who played the character in the original 1951 movie! She was 64 when she reprised her role for Kingdom Hearts! What a sport!

Genuinely amazing, then again Disney are surprisingly on-point getting actors back or having some people reprise their roles as long as they're not fully retired essentially. She's not the only Disney lady who got her VA back and still rocking it out.

Also, it's "Che-shurr" Cat. CHEH. SHURR. :goonsay:

yeah, i only ended up bothering with that a few years ago, but i kinda prefer no survival skills donald and goofy. usually means i have a bit more breathing space cuz bosses focus on them a bit.

The only thing I noticed in their AI patterning is you can make them attack SLIGHTLY less or heal you SLIGHTLY more often, but in general the AI tends to be pretty terrible in this game. Donald forgets he's a black mage constantly, whilst Goofy is only able to survive and mitigate enemy forces slightly due to being a surprisingly sturdy meat shield.

I've never watched an LP of this game. It strikes me as a Final Fantasy/Disney fanfiction made into a video game. Wasn't there a story about how Square came up with this idea after someone was in the same elevator as a Disney executive?

Pretty much, it is exactly that. The story goes that Tetsuya Nomura, who was one of the head character designers of Square-Enix starting back since FF7, got in an elevator with a Disney executive since their companies shared the same building. They had at first a jokey talk about making a game together and by the time they got off they had an idea to pitch to Disney. Roy Disney, Walt's...nephew I believe, was asked to come in and hear and he himself approved since the Japanese were kind of all about family recognitions and such.

I don't know who the Disney executive was that Nomura talked to, and the first game does balance the best between Final Fantasy and Disney but as the series goes along you will find one side becoming more and more heavily favoured for its insanely bizarre story.

There was a lot of back-and-forth on particulars for what characters should and should not do, like Goofy was given a shield specifically because Disney asked not to have him be given a weapon. Here's an even more bizarre fact.
Kingdom Hearts is actually copyrighted to DISNEY fully, Square-Enix are just developing on their behalf so technically Sora and anyone else that comes up is also actually owned by Disney, except of course for Final Fantasy chars.

i don't remember if it was brought up in the olympus vids but apparently james woods just agrees to voice hades no matter what. even for little pay, or something? he likes the role so much that he'll even agree to be in these weird-rear end anime games that inexplicably include disney villains. maybe gilbert gottfried is the same way.

Yeah I mentioned it before but James Woods pretty much is willing to be Hades anytime because he loves the character. Gilbert Gottfried just loves being Gilbert Gottfried, he knows people love his squawky-as-gently caress voice and he rides that loving train all the way to the twitter bank.

I do agree with Chorps that the performance of Genie in this game is rather oddly stiff compared to the others, which is weird because you'd expect Dan Castellaneta of all people to be able to not be stiff when not doing the Simpsons.

Also, fun fact the original voice actress for Ariel, Jodi Benson, still voices Ariel in Kingdom Hearts. Actually I think everybody from The Little Mermaid reprised their roles here. Ariel is my favourite ally in the game, she just seemed a lot more useful and quicker to attack than the other characters are, that and she has some pretty sick magic in handling the Heartless.

She's also much more physically powerful than Donald at least far as I can see because Donald just whacks people with a loving stick, whereas Ariel just SPINS LIKE A FUCKIN' CYCLONE STRAIGHT INTO THE DARKNESS LIKE SHE DON'T GIVE A poo poo

And that is awesome, at least in terms of magic and physical she's got more packing than Donald does really.

If you look at the stats the world specific party members are a few levels ahead and have higher stats by default. Basically meaning that if they're physical put them in for Goofy and if they're magical put them in for Donald, since he's good if you make him focus on support like casting cure and aero.

Which is a good design honestly since a new player's going to be rather curious to try new allies and they want to make them stronger to help with damage output on new enemies.

The BEST ally, which I'm sure FutureFriend will agree with, is coming up in the next world after Atlantica I think, somebody who wrecks hard on both physical and magical but I won't say who. Either way it's going to be fabulous.

I believe Jane learns to speak gorilla, if that's at all useful or interesting to you.

At least in the series spin-off, there is some sort of mutual acceptance that the animals still speak animal, and that Jane and the Professor were basically taught how to speak to them by Tarzan since only Jane and the Professor talk to them. None of the other humans from other countries in the series ever speak to the animals and neither do the animals know how to talk to them. So it's subtle, but it's there that Jane does learn to speak it.

Theoretically yes, because all you need to do is reach the world that lies after either of those two to progress the plot.
You know, that second world to the right that's straight on?

There is actually nothing in terms of event flag in any of those three worlds that are important except for Monstro, who I believe will ALWAYS swallow you after finishing one of those two worlds and which in itself becomes a plot point because of Riku screwing about with dark forces.

Design-wise, being trapped on only the ship was pretty terrible with Neverland, but I agree that what they did with the characters was flawless. Hook is absolutely fantastic in this game just for nailing his wily caricature.

Fun fact, Wendy's voice actor is the same woman from the original Peter Pan film, Kathryn Beaumont. The same lady who as a little girl, voiced Alice in the Disney movie Alice in Wonderland and yes, she voiced Alice here in Kingdom Hearts too.
So that's awesome.

It's been a while since I've seen Peter Pan, so maybe I'm not up on my rich Neverland lore, but I'm pretty sure the crocodile will eat anyone, but it is indeed hungry for Hook's other hand, which is why he's so drat afraid of it.

e: after spending a shameful amount of time on wikipedia, yeah the crocodile is just a normal-rear end crocodile so it'll presumably eat anything/one, it just chases Hook around because it really wants that other hand. Also, fun hosed up fairy tale fact that you may have forgotten since you were a kid: Hook isn't missing a hand because the crocodile bit it off or anything, Peter Pan loving cut it off and fed it to the croc to give it a taste for human flesh like a psychopath.

As someone who lives only five miles away from Peter Pan's creator's birthplace, I can confirm that the story is pretty amazingly hosed up because of the biggest moral involved.

Children have no sense of right or wrong.

Not unlike wizards, except children don't know any better. I mean there was that one time in the book when Tinkerbell is legit jealous of Wendy's affections for Peter Pan, she flies ahead to the Lost Boys and tricks them to loving shoot her down and they almost LEGIT murder her if it wasn't for an acorn pendant she wore blocking an arrow inches from her heart.
Children are innocent, but that does not necessarily mean pure and sweet. It just means they do not know right from wrong and they need someone like say, a mother figure, in order for them to not grow up into sociopaths. That was the big lesson of the story and I think that's something we all can agree on as amoral children of the internet.

Then they got the voice of George Newbern a.k.a loving Superman from the old Warner Bros. animated series to voice as him in further FF instalments such as Dissidia. And to be fair, he does make Sephiroth sound pretty loving intimidating in those games.

I was absolutely terrified of the donkey transforming scene to the point that I swore from that day to never even TRY to run away from home for whatever reason. Not that I ever had a reason, but that was just like an oath I made to myself at 5. It's still one of my fave movies from them though.

I'm pretty sure that being scared of the donkey transformation scene is perfectly reasonable. I'm also sure that, when the kid was transforming into a donkey he sounded absolutely terrified. And then the followup is dozens of these children getting rounded up into... gently caress it's been forever since I watched Pinocchio. Cells, I think? And the implication is that they are all getting sold into slavery.
Pinocchio is really hosed up.

Also speaking of the little wooden puppet, wasn't there a sequel to that?

Pinocchio surprisingly never got a sequel, the closest he got was a SNES game a drat good 50 years after the movie came out. And yes, the implication was that bad children turn into jackasses (literally) who then become Hollow of that world and are forced to then lose their humanity before being sold into slavery within the salt mines of Anor Londo.

I only made up twenty percent of that.

On the note of Peter Pan, the whole child murder and the fact that "Peter Pan is a sociopath" is kind of exactly what he does in the original story because JM Barrie made the point of how "children actually have no sense of right or wrong, therefore if they do awful poo poo, you can't really blame them when nobody's around to teach them how to be people", basically. Racism aside, there is one very cool thing about Peter Pan.

The rights to Peter Pan are owned by the Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital in London, after JM Barrie gave them the rights so they hospital would remain open after saying "gee it would be awesome if my story about murderous kids actually SAVED children by making sure every single play, novel, movie or interpretation of this story has to give a part of its profits to the hospital by legal contract".

Disney surprisingly tried to weasel the gently caress out of this and are the only company to ever try to dodge this mandate when in 2003, they pulled out of the production of the first live-action Peter Pan movie over their refusal to pay part of the profits to the hospital.

Then they realised that would make them seem incredibly lovely so in 2008 they partnered up with the Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity and went on to raise more than �10 million for it. Which, yanno, is better late than never.

It is, but that movie was not Disney. And yes the producers of Hook honoured the contractual agreement to pay the agreed percentage of the movie's profits to the Great Ormond Street Hospital. The copyright of Peter Pan expired in 2008 but most people tend to still give profits to the hospital out of respect to JM Barrie.

Hades may not be Satan but he did date-rape Demeter's daughter, Persephone, with pomegranate seeds being the rohypnol of its day. Disney sorta omitted that part because in truth, Hades is actually a pretty chill guy in the original pantheon except the fact that he's "a bit rapey". At the very least he's nowhere near as monstrous as Hera was in the original stories.

To the point he made a pretty lovely deal with Demeter that amounts to "I won't date-rape anyone ever again if you let me have your daughter then I'll marry her and then we let her come back home for at least half the year". During which Demeter gets all sad which is why according to Greeks, we have autumn and then winter to reflect her mood, being the goddess of nature that she is. The worst part is that he's the nicest of his brothers since Poseidon is the Donald Trump of Greek pantheon and Zeus just can't stop loving everything that moves which pretty much ruins a lot of things for both him, his family and mankind.

Ultimately Hades is the best of the Greek Pantheon because he doesn't really mess with humans, and when he does it's because they go to him not him going to them. In comparison Zeus can't keep it in his pants and loves mortals, whilst Poseidon is an angry old man out at sea who just loves to rage like a storm. Also for what it's worth the whole abducting a girl from her home after getting permission from her father/mother/local ruler is a legitimate marriage ceremony in ancient Greece as I understand it.

Pretty much, I've heard three versions of that story but all of them agree at the very least that compared to his brothers, Hades is not the worst person because he doesn't at least gently caress with mortals unless they come to him. Poseidon is just a bad loser, like the Xbox Live teenager of his day and yes ancient Greece like a lot of the ancient world was pretty creepy about that stuff so...yeah, even back then Hades was considered "an okay dude who's kinda weird on Persephone but won't be a dick unless you act like one to him".
