The Essential Kingdom Hearts 3 + X Back Cover (Movie Cut Part 1)

Update: I added scenes from Chi Back Cover as flashbacks. "Why?" you ask? Well, this whole series I'm doing is designed to make Kingdom Hearts accessible to someone who hasn't played the games before. Now, even for me-a huge KH nerd-XBC was a slog to get through. I mean it's very interesting, but it's basically a lore dump. Story-wise, it's not very engaging. But it's so important I can't just exclude it. So I decided to break it up as flashbacks throughout KH3 since this is where it's most relevant. I think it works really well! Let me know what you think!

Footage: 1080p, no subtitles thanks to kh-vids.net!

Watch order: Watch after Dream Drop Distance+2.8 in my chronological order playlist. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5BLmm_9Vrs4vLS6Ezt6GPtDznL95G1_k

Main goals here:

1) Fix the barely audible background music. When I first played the game I thought something was off with the settings of my TV or the PS4. Then when I watched the scenes online I realized that it was the cutscenes themselves. The background music was so low it's barely audible at times! I raised the volume of the bgm while keeping the vocals at the same level.

2) Speed up the pacing and remove as much awkwardness as possible. KH cutscenes have always been slow paced. But for some reason it's REALLY noticeable and awkward in KH3. I tried my best to cut out unnecessary scenes, dialogue and quiet moments to make it more engaging for someone who's only wanting to watch the cutscenes.

3) Added more background music in some of the quiet moments.

Also replaced Face my Fears with orchestral version by Thomas Diognardi because the original gets blocked in Japan. Check out his music: https://www.youtube.com/c/ThomasDiognardi
