Kingdom Hearts Primer – Kingdom Hearts 2 – Episode 29 – Of Kings, Contracts, and Fish Lawyers
Finally, we get to the part I HATE!I've written about it before, but I can't even fathom how anyone though Atlantica was a good idea. It's a concentrated does of everything wrong with Kingdom Hearts 2.I hate this world, and I hope it they never...
Kingdom Hearts Primer – Kingdom Hearts 2 – Episode 28 – What Has My Life Become!?
Welcome back to Port Royal. We're barely hanging on.This is roughly the point where Sam and I start to lose our minds and slowly slip into madness. It's not quite so visible at this point, and we're still able to mostly hold a coherent conversation....
Kingdom Hearts Primer – Kingdom Hearts 2 – Episode 27 – JRPG Talk
While Kingdom Hearts rolls in the background, Sam and I talk about the JRPGs we have (and haven't) played.I want to point out that while Sam seems to have a chronic inability to finish the JRPGs he starts, as of the time of writing, he...
Kingdom Hearts Primer – Kingdom Hearts 2 – Episode 26 – This Force Called Sora
And now that we've finished with some of the important stuff, we can do nonsense for the next 5-10 episodes.A recurring problem we're running into with this series has more to do with the nature of these long RPGs than any inherent flaw with Kingdom...
Kingdom Hearts Primer – Kingdom Hearts 2 – Episode 25 – Going Full Stupid
It's so refreshing to have cool, interesting conversations about the story.The scenes in the first seven minutes of this episode are all Final Mix exclusive, and that's honestly a large problem. In those seven minutes, so many of the reveals from future games are foreshadowed...

Kingdom Hearts Primer – Kingdom Hearts 2 – Episode 21 – Zippers Held By Belts
Finally, we're back to talking about story content.It's actually pretty amazing that, after the original Kingdom Hearts, Kairi has a huge problem with almost completely ceasing to be relevant to the plot. Even though she spent most of the first game in a state of...
Kingdom Hearts Primer – Kingdom Hearts 2 – Episode 20 – The Eyes Don’t Move
Let's get back to that movie plot!Not much Kingdom Hearts to talk about while we watch The Lion King...
