At last, we're solidly in Act 3.We've suddenly gone from not much happening at all, to a lot happening all at once. Out of all the new topics introduced, there are two big ones: Eraqus and the X-Blade. We'll table the X-Blade talk for now. Instead, I want to focus on Eraqus and his questionable...

This is the last world before we can get back to the main plot.To make something clear in these posts, I want to say that although we constantly complain about how gullible Terra is, that's not inherently a flaw with either his character or the story. Gullibility is a trait, like any other. It can...

Well, we were going good for a while, but now is filler time.We've talked about the whole "Prequel" problem before, and I don't have much to add on that point. That said, Sam is right to note how egregious it is almost every detail in Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 was explained away by some cosmic mishap...

It had to happen eventually. With all LPs, especially with Kingdom Hearts, you reach the eventual filler episode.It's just that we spent this episode talking about filler in Kingdom Hearts. It's a subject I've pontificated over numerous times in this series. I see no need to go over it again.

Welcome to Greek Mythology... where everything is made up and the points don't matter.To give the game some credit, I didn't notice just how badly the timeline for this world got bungled until after I had beaten the game twice and then did this project with Sam. When I had 8 hours between visits to...

This was probably one of our best episodes.It's been a long time since I made this commentary. As a result, while I still largely agree with many of the things I said in this series, some of my opinions have changed. The point I was trying to make at the start of this episode regarding player...

Before I even had the chance to, Sam immediately points out the problem with the scenes in this episode... both of them.The second problem Sam mentioned was elaborated on in the previous episode's post. In the scene with Terra and Braig, Sam talked about how this game seems to need to explain every...

This episode contains the second-most annoying scene in Kingdom Hearts.I spoke earlier about how Birth By Sleep has an almost pathological obsession with "explaining" away all the plot conveniences in the first game. The problem is that in doing so is that not only did we not need those...

Terra is an idiot. You will accept this is move on.As I said in the episode, a lot of the problems I have with these Disney world stories aren't really the fault of Nomura or of Kingdom Hearts. They are a by-product of some combination of the following:The original Grimm Brothers' source...

Now what were those magic words to get this episode out? Hmmm....Oh yes, "Sam, please post the video!"If there's one thing that Birth By Sleep does a lot better than other games is link the storylines of the individual Disney worlds back into the main plot thread.Even if something as small as Ven,...
