11:13: Despite Gio Gonzalez warning, "Never mix your sparkling juices," Bryce Harper opens another bottle of sparkling grape and mixes it with sparkling cider.

1:07: Harper walks to the 7-11 and orders an all-syrup Slurpee.

1:10-3:05: Harper has no recollection of this time. Aliens?
I always pronounce X like the first syllable in "kairi" since that's how it works in math

This was perhaps obvious but let me make it more obvious: they mean χ (or "chi"). It just so happens that uppercase chi looks exactly like our latin letter X. It's even written with the same character.

It's gonna turn out Xehanort left a part of his darkness in Sora when he tried to make him Xehanort and that's why Sora is Xehanort, but Sora's Disney Jesus powers means that Xehanort is already half Sora too, and that is what will redeem him in the final hour before he dies.

I always thought it was Chee, not Key. It being Key, and therfore making χ-Blade be Key-Blade is just one more thing about this series that makes it great. :allears:

I checked like 3 dictionaries when birth by sleep came out and "key" was listed as an accepted pronunciation for χ in only one of them

Until I played BBS, I had no idea it was Key and not Chee. Not the first time I've been wrong about how to pronounce a Square name. Cho-ko-bo, not Chawk-oh-bo. Tee-dus, not Tide-us. Cact-war, not Cac-taur. :shrug:

Chee is a correct reading, as is kai. As Xehanort said, it really depends on who you ask.

I had never in my life heard it as key before though. Hence the dictionary hunt. I'm still not convinced tbh but maybe I'm just being too much of a presciptivist

e: wikipedia is telling me I'm wrong, I have no idea what to believe

also here's a stupid take

I will never stop appreciating the fact that Xehanort took time out of his evil monologue to explain the proper pronunciation or lack thereof of an obscure Greek letter

And I'm figuring this, but it was all according to Xehanort's plan, which makes SORA a Xehanort, which through his bond with Kingdom Hearts makes KINGDOM HEARTS a Xehanort

(But no really I can't wait to learn how Sora is one of the Xehanorts in KH3)

The real Xehanort is sleeping in the Northern Crater.

Absolutely same.

If this game series was any less of a mess I don't think I'd love it nearly as much.

yea the reason this series is so fun is that it took the already kinda bonkers 'here's a game where donald and goofy team up with an anime boy and some Final Fantasy characters to fight things' baseline and every single game after kicked off their dev meeting with 'how can we make this even more extra'.

I forgot what stream I watched brought it up but Pete being so horribly out of place in literally every scene of 2 he's in other than the fantastic black and white retro world is probably the best example of this. You have all the XIII guys brooding around, Maleficent up being an evil witch...and then here's this fat cartoon cat in a bright colored jumpsuit all "YEA WE'RE GONNA GET THOSE ROTTEN BRATSES!"

It's like any time they give important dialogue to Goofy, they have this poo poo like "Hy-uck I think that was Sephiroth, Cloud's evil half" coming from this big dumb cartoon dog and it's the best.

When Goofy had the fake out death in KH2, it was hard to take it too seriously, since in the back of my head I was like "There's no way Disney allowed Nomura to unceremoniously kill off Goofy"

His explanation afterwards that "Come on you idiots, I get bonked on the head all the time" pretty much sealed it that I was on board for whatever insanity Kingdom Hearts was going to throw on me.

I don't think Gaston has actually been involved though. I think there was a thread injoke during the Days LP that the boss in that game was Gaston but nothing concrete.

Yeah, I don't think Gaston has for real shown up? He's in UX but UX is all book-of-prophecy worlds I thought (that or the post-UX worlds were the ones that were made made up, either way he'd show up again).

Scar is definitely triple dead though. He became a heartless, his heartless defeated, and they destroyed all of his leftover ghosts.

If Scar retained his form when becoming a heartless, and his heartless was defeated, does that mean he still has a nobody? And that they'll revive Scar eventually? :thunk:

I hope so too. So much.
I also hope Donald's boyfriends will be featured in some support role even though I know it's not gonna happen.

Has there been anything about including a Frozen world? I wanna hear Goofy say, at a tragic moment, "sometimes, you just gotta let it go. A-huyck!"

He turns into an elk and you kill him. I think all the Disney worlds in UX are dreams or simulations or some such nonsense and the only canon bits occur in daybreak town.
