— Explaining the Kingdom Hearts Timeline project —

As many of you already know, the Kingdom Hearts Timeline project started back in April 2018 as a way to prepare all of us for the release of Kingdom Hearts 3. What is the Timeline project? Basically, you'll see all of the story events as they chronologically happen. Which is seemingly easy to do, but...if you're familiar with Kingdom Hearts, then you do know the series is so full of flashbacks, callbacks and retcons, that it's extremely easy to lose track of them.

I always like to think of the Timeline as an experiment. I wasn’t sure if it could be a welcome one but, somehow, it was so well received that it exceeded my expectations.
The original Timeline was just a way to re-live all of the Kingdom Hearts titles leading to KH3, in a different, yet familiar way. I never had plans to go back to it, as I was fully aware of all the flashbacks and callbacks that could be added in the future titles. I don’t really like the idea of uploading new, fixed episodes every now and then—it would just confuse all of you (and, more than anyone, myself!)

Still, the requests and messages I received in the past few years made me reconsider my plans. More than anything, I did plan to complete the KHUX saga, as it was the only incomplete title when KH3 came out.

So here we are! Now that KHUX ended I have everything at my disposal for making the ultimate, complete chronological version of this title.

I can’t stress enough the purpose of this project—this doesn’t want to be the best or the perfect way of experiencing the Kingdom Hearts saga.
All of the titles should be played following their release dates. The Timeline is simply an alternate way of experiencing the story we already know and only players who already played the games should watch it. New players would be spoiled about some plot points, so be warned.
This project gives you a different perspective on specific events, and the adding of new musics, flashbacks, callbacks and secret reports, makes the whole experience even more unique and immersive.

I’ll leave some basic Q&A down here related to the future of the Timeline:


1)
Q: Will you be uploading all of the episodes from the scratch?
A: No. I’ll just reupload the episodes containing flashbacks/callbacks that we got to see after the release of KH3. For instance, the beginning of Birth by Sleep will be reuploaded since I’ll have to add the dialogue between Master Xehanort and Vanitas at the Land of Departure, occurring in Dark Road.

2)
Q: Will the old episodes be deleted?
A: No. All of the episodes will stay, but the new ones will have the text “NEW” in the thumbnail and in the video title. The new episodes will replace the old ones in the Timeline playlist in my channel.

3)
Q: Will you be making KH3 as well?
A: Yes, but my main goal was completing both KHUX and Dark Road. I do have some plans for KH3 but I’m considering of using the PC version of it, so I can disable the music through mods and do some…special stuff. If you are a KH3 modder/you know someone who could help me, please message me on Twitter!

4)
Q: So all of the 123 episodes list will be messed up?
A: No. KHUX will still finish on Episode 11 like I planned years ago. Dark Road will start on Episode 12. Only the beginning of Birth by Sleep might have a small change of numbers in the playlist.

5)
Q: Why did you put Missing-Link in the intro alongside the other titles?
A: Because...never say never. There's no way I can put the whole story of Missing-Link in the Timeline, not in the near future. That game's story might last some years, like it happened with KHUX. However, I did want to include it in the panels titles screen, so we finally have a complete timeline screen, for once.

If you're more curious or you have more questions, please ask!

  • @isaaccook1890
    I like the fact that Missing Link is about to live up to its namesake by being skipped over
  • @silvyx
    I have a theory regarding what darkness said about Ven. One of the cruxes of Ven's character--and something which was told to the Union X wielders by one of the Masters, I believe Master Ira--is that friends are power. In addition, it's well established that Darkness has trouble understanding human emotions and reasoning. So maybe what Darkness interpreted as a desire for power was really Ven's desire for friendship. Plus, even if it was a desire for power, I wouldn't blame him considering how powerless he must have felt as a lonely Dandelion knowing the Keyblade War was coming.
  • @Electricut
    That "I can't lose you too" hits like a truck
  • @mastertucker
    The gameplay battles with the Union leaders involved are so important and if not for people like Everglow would likely not be documented content.
  • One episode left of Union X then we move onto Xehanort's story, this is gonna be so epic! I'm looking forward to it!
  • O.O Brain has the Master Defender as his keyblade!!! This implies that he was (eventually) the first Master to look after the Land of Departure......! Woah, this formless darkness stuff is wild. In summary: 6 darknesses left their form behind, and are now somehow immortal. The Master of Masters' plan is to defeat them.
  • Over a year since Union Cross ended and it still holds up as having one of the best endgames in the entire series between the reveal of MoM’s true plans, the departure of the Lifeboats by the Union Leaders, and the sacrifice of the Player
  • "my anger needed a simple tangible target" ironically, the darkness in ventus would eventually become a "simple" tangible target,even more ironically? lauriam as the nobody marluxia would work with that same "simple tangible target" in kh3
  • @timoram26
    I've enjoyed quite a lot watching this episode and the previous ones, the story is very interesting to follow in the condensed format you're finally able to present! In addition, nice job with using KH3 music throughout the last episodes, especially music from Rapunzel's world and San Fransokyo, they fit right in with the mood and the context.
  • @YopAlonso
    We’re gonna be hit with a big blow on the next one, I can feel it.
  • Hopefully one day you make some episodes of the timeline of missing links since it’s not out yet and it takes place after Union X but before dark road. But besides that Union X has one of the best but underrated and sad endings of kingdom hearts I want to see Skuld Brain Lauriam and the others again soon
  • I laugh every time they mention Maleficent is the reason for their world disappearing cause she followed Darkness' order to take the lifeboats, which triggers the end
  • @FHEDNR
    Thanks to these videos I am starting to like all this plotline of the MoM saga. For sure it was a soft reboot of the KH IP. I wish things were more simple and way more Disney related. It's kinda sad. KH3 made me fall out of love with Kingdom hearts, and while watching this I feel it's completely different, but good, thing than kingdom Hearts. Anyway, amazing work Everglow, thank you.
  • You know I never got to see what the others used in this fight. Good to know they had handy moves up their sleeves.
  • This is great. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
