Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix - #1 - The Intro with Roxas and Twilight Town Originally Recorded on 08/02/2021 This is the start of our trek through Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix! Man, when they say this was a super-long intro, they ain't kidding. And in this very special episode, we play through the entirety of the game's intro in one stream! Over 3 hours! I know I broke a rule of mine. "Nothing over 90 minutes. I have to respect your time." I felt like this was one exception I could make. The intro to Kingdom Hearts II is notorious and a little slow since most people didn't get the exposition in Chain of Memories... but we did get that exposition! It felt longer because you know you aren't supposed to play through the game as Roxas and the story got a little confusing if you didn't play Chain of Memories (remake or not). I've played through Kingdom Hearts II before, but never right after Chain of Memories. Knowing what I know now, it hits way different. I highly recommend the 1.5 + 2.5 HD ReMIX now. It is a great value with 4 games and 2 "movies" but the deeper I dive into the series, it really does make you identify with certain story elements. (First moment was that Riku/Replica fight in the late game of Re: Chain of Memories, oh man)

Originally streamed on 08/04/2021 So, apparently, there was an extra 50 minutes from when we got to the Tower with Master Yen Sid to when we could select our first world. Go figure!

Originally streamed on 08/06/2021 Look, let's just get this out of the way. This hour looks like trash. It looks like it was recorded using a potato. It's not your fault. It's 100% my own. I didn't record what I was playing and pulled this hour off of Twitch. There's no excuse for what happened but these streams just look better and better in future episodes. It's still delicious, though. Leave a like!

Originally streamed on 08/16/2021 Yeah, Beast's Castle was fun and all. But I really remember playing this world for the first and really spreading my wings out to get a taste of that sweet, sweet Kingdom Hearts II gameplay. The sounds is all messed up though here. My apologies for that. Look at that date though! I was still learning all that Streamlabs has to offer! I'm going to have to make up for that.

Originally streamed on 08/26/2021 Here, we travel back to Olympus Coliseum and maaaaaan has it grown by leaps and bounds. It is no longer three rooms but rather and whole explorable world! Let's check it out! Sound issues are still abounding.

Originally streamed on 10/05/2021 I mention this video in the stream. I was cursed with the knowledge of the Aristrocrats joke. Now you are cursed too. VERY NSFW https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIX_ChWTFAU

Originally streamed on 04/15/2022 Hoo boy, that Roxas fight they added for Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix. Poor Roxas was fighting to just to exist.

Originally streamed on 01/12/2023 Since starting this game and recording this stream, I've only been playing Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix for 526 days... I need to commit to completing this series. And hoo boy. This one was a crazy one. Completely forgot where I was. Broke all my rules but we are at least going to get Sora and the gang up to level 99 before the final boss fight. We'll get those crowns someday. But we got to get to the post game first. And we set the expectation to finish the series before I turn 40 live on stream. I think we can do it!

Originally streamed on 01/16/2023 This is another one of that "put on and go about your business" kind of stream. Making that grind up to level 99. About twenty minutes in, I met up with those three ladies from Final Fantasy X-2 (I don't know why they are fairies here. I didn't get far into Final Fantasy X. I'll fix that, I promise.) And they give us an keyblade that would really help us. Not gonna lie, I was a bit hesistant to use this. To be honest, I wasn't sure how. But later on we use it, don't worry about that.

Originally streamed on 01/16/2023 I would like to take this time to publicly apologize for that horrible beeping noise. It demeans us all. I didn't want to use it all the time because LORD does it get annoying. But we did get But dang, look at that progress! Xemnas is doomed... doomed... DOOOOOMED!!

Originally streamed on 01/24/2023 Well, Thanks to constant stopping and restarting, playing through Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix only took me 540 days. It's kind of crazy to see how much these streams have improved in that time. I now have a camera, as well as a comfortable place to record. Is it perfect? No. But it has improved and I can only go up from here! I think that's the coolest thing I learned from streaming so far. "Work with what is available to you. Learn all of its ins and outs. Once you do that, you'll improve and be ready for new challenges." As much as I want that "Jay-Z studio basement" where I can stream, record, produce, and write. I haven't really acquired that knowledge where I can use it to it's fullest extent. It's a slow, step-by-step process. But there isn't any other way to learn. But going back to where we stand with Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix. Man, we left a lot of things undone. We didn't even unlock any crowns for Sora. That's mostly because those crowns and very easily obtainable through the post-game. Defeating Xenmas first was imperative to actually completing KHIIFM. We will eventually return to complete the journal, the Data Battles, the Absent Silouhettes, Mushroom XIII. But if I want to finish the Kingdom Hearts series on stream before I'm 40, we gotta move!
