If they did this on Proud they would probably never get past the Tarzan world boss.

They're already probably going to die multiple times to some of the end game fights.

kh is basically a shounen series that keeps coming up with excuses to keep going on the fly every game

I Failed At Anime 2022
KH1 used to have two difficulties normal and expert and expert is one of the worst experiences I've had doing a higher difficulty run on an action game because there are bad boss fights in that game that become even worse when you rebalance them the way expert mode did. So yeah, it's pretty good they're playing this on that since Proud is just what Expert used to be, but if they tried most other games on Proud they'd probably be fine.



I agree with pretty much all of this excepting that DDD is the one of the two KH games I genuinely dislike/hate, the other being 358/2 Days. Also a lot of the fun and appeal in this series is secret bosses too and they are missing out if they don't do some of the secret bosses in KH2, at least.

hating DDD is a super acceptable opinion imo. I havent played it since it came out and I was a weird child who was way too into kingdom hearts so I kinda liked it unconditionally. My opinion has soured on it substantially without a replay since then and I can only imagine it'd get worse with a replay.

KH2 has some of the best secret bosses/bosses in general ever and I want them to play it solely to watch them experience the magic of the end game boss fights

Edit: DDD is the one game imo where you can be paying total attention and still end up going "what the gently caress" by end game.

That's not actually surprising, because he's played a bunch of porn games on his channel, and while I haven't checked, I assume most of them had to be removed at some point.

I noticed he changed the title to remove the "Part 1" from this video, though.

Kingdom Hearts story is great, it's literally the perfect synthesis of Square and Disney storytelling methods and themes. Anyone who can't appreciate something so absolutely earnest and serious about its dumb anime Feels-driven narrative and pointlessly convoluted lore and amazingly whimsical and childish sense of morality is just dead inside.

I'm stoked that they're playing this and probably 2 leading up to a KH3 LP. I would have never expected this to show up as a Best Friend's game even after they did FF10. It's gonna be a ride.

I'm not even a fan of Devil May Cry and I've been enjoying them gunning through the entire franchise in one go to prep for DMC4. I've enjoyed it pretty much every time they've done a deep dive on a whole franchise to prep for a new entry going back to the Lets Watch of the entire Yakuza backstory.
