Ironically enough I learned that Phil’s Japanese voice actor had passed away so out of respect they kept him mute in the English dub of the game

Maleficent and Pete roasting Sora because they realised he accidentally left all of his Pro Codes on and doesn't know how to turn them off

Kingdom Hearts is art, absolutely - but the pirates world in this game felt like being enveloped into a wonderful dream lasting days on end.. there’s SO much discovery, so much exploration, satisfaction, “Easter eggs”, a fantastic atmosphere, beautiful graphics and art direction… I don’t think I could think of a way to make it better without it overstaying its welcome

They perfected it - and it was obvious they did so even before Re:Mind

I never see people talking about Skull. And after going through it in my run, I think it is just an unspoken rule from people who don't want to trigger each other's PTSD.

The streets needed this one bad. Can't wait for the KH4 Level 1 Run <3

Given what amounts to "Final Mix" upgrades KH3 eventually got in the form of ReMind and the free updates following fan feedback (critical mode, new combos, NG+ so you never have to do the Ultima Weapon recipe grind again, codes to let you skip gummi missions and get cheaper shop items, etc.) it's got so much replay I can definitely see why someone would have it as their best in the series, even while KH2 is often considered the GOAT.

1:15:01

I won't lie.

"Perhaps, that is, if you survive that long"  is such a COLD Line!

It's nice to hear some praise for KH3. It's not my favorite, but you did a good job of pointing out where it shines. I think it's nice to look at this game (and any game) for what it is, rather than for what it isn't.

1:28:30 is probably one of my favorite moments because you hear through the controller donald and goofy yelling for sora and then proceeded to wake back up and defeat master xehanort. It give me a burst of excitement each time i cross that point

watched a lot of behind the scenes regarding this video and I couldn’t be more proud of ur progress man!! cheers

"With some added restrictions" Oh god... I already know what you're talking about... I went through Proud Mode with all Pro Codes except 0 def, 30 ap limit, and no healing activated... It was absolutely hellish

Your level 1 series inspired me to take the initiative to finally play all the KH games. I just beat Re:CoM and I have a whole lot more respect for your run in that game.
Can't wait to watch more and see where the series goes. ♥

I just completed the triple Xehanort fight at level 1 the other day. What was really funny is that I had targeted Ansem first, and fought him according to your instructions. By the time I had taken off 4 health bars, I noticed that Young Xehanort was only down to half a health bar left. I don’t know what Riku and Mickey did to the poor guy but he got put through the freaking grinder. I took advantage of his half a health bar, and abandoned Ansem and took Xehanort out.

37:51 And that is what’s called
“Yeetus Vanitas”

The timing of this video is perfect. I started playing KH3 on ps4 but couldnt finish it due to life-stuff. With it coming out on steam in a week or so (At the time of this comment) its pushed me to be excited for finally playing it again! Thanks for all the hellish work that proud mode put you through!

Man, your videos are such a breath of fresh air! I love your positivity! Keep it up!

15:12 this might be a good spot to find some ingredients

Ngl I did the same lvl 1 run all codes and I lost my sanity against skoll as well, I am suprised that you didn't mention this as well (I am at 50:27) but there is a way to heal yourself with all codes on mid battle, you need to wear the wisdom ring the ability lets you heal as you spend magic but it is kind of a gamble since it is not guarranteed AND it is based as the proportion of the spell you cast. IT DID help me survive but on the other hand battles takes way longer. Massive respect for you!

its about time i foudn someone who says their favorite kh game is 3. theres something about this game that brings me so much emotion that very VERY few games have been able to

I just got into your level 1 series yesterday. So surreal to see this upload today. Your videos are well edited and a joy to watch.
