Welcome to (almost) the end of the game. Like most Kingdom Hearts finales, this is where all of the main plot twists and story beats start actually getting explained. Unlike other Kingdom Hearts finale, it's crazier than a Metal Gear story.If you thought that Birth By Sleep did a terrible job with...

A land of musical, magical wonders... trapped by Kingdom Hearts.Again, credit to Square Enix for being bold enough to tackle this kind of source material. That said, I don't have much to add here that I didn't say in the recording.

"So that's where this episode came from," Brandon said to himself.(Before you correct him, I have told Sam that there were actually four musketeers in the original novel. Don't worry about it.)Though we groaned a lot during this episode, I think it is really cool that Nomura tied a lot of the older...

I completely forgot about this second trip to Traverse Town.One thing I will actually praise Dream Drop Distance for, it's that it does a pretty good job at foreshadowing many of the twists and plot points that come up in the end game. It's nothing I can get into now, but I look forward to...

Oh great, just what this game needed: A shoddy tie-in to a movie that was "coming soon" when the game came out.In between when we recorded this episode and the time this episode is released, Joe Parlock from Let's Play Video Games wrote an article criticizing Disney for treating it's games like...

For something as decidedly family-friendly as Kingdom Hearts claims to be, The Hunchback for Notre Dame is such a strange choice.For reference, this is the "Hellfire" song I mentioned during this episode when talking about how dark this story is.First off, I have, since the time of the recording,...

At last, we are in the home stretch on the Kingdom Hearts Primer. This is the last sub-series in this major project that has taken Sam and I over a year and tons of our sanity. Finally, we will have recapped all the story you need to know for Kingdom Hearts 3.After the long and grueling season on...

Welcome to the Re:Coded section of the Kingdom Hearts Primer. It's just to be a great and long-lasting season.Syke.Yeah, not much happens in Coded. So we won't spend much time on it. In keeping with that theme, I won't dedicate many words to it.I will point out that Sam did a great job in editing...

Here it is, the final episode of the Birth By Sleep segment of the Kingdom Hearts Primer.Sam and I harp on this a lot, and it's one of our biggest problems with the reveal in Blank Points: One of the easiest ways to lose me in the plot of a big franchise is to give is to negate loss or death in...
