Some of these Birth by Sleep episodes won't include new stuff, as the old episodes don't need to be updated story wise. There might be a few changes or references here and there, but right now I'm just merging some of the old episodes together so we can catch up with the episodes numbering in the new playlist here:    • [NEW 2023] KINGDOM HEARTS TIMELINE  
Feel free to enjoy my boss battles in the usual, old fashion.

The new episodes will be added to the playlist as soon as they're uploaded. The old Timeline episodes that do not need to be updated, story or content wise, will be added there as well.


— 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!

    Always appreciate how Everglow will try to finish each fight with a flashy attack or combo.

    Each member of the Wayfinder trio now make their respective visit to Disney Town. Terra participates in a race to fight some Unversed, Ventus solves Huey, Dewy and Louie’s ice cream troubles and Aqua plays some Fruitball, all while Pete, masquerading as Captain Dark/Justice to try and win the Million Dreams Award. But, for all their respective help, Terra, Aqua and Ventus are awarded instead, with Aqua accepting the award on their behalf. Pete is then banished into another dimension when he is invited by Maleficent to help her conquer the worlds. Later, Terra arrives at Olympus Colosseum where he helps a young Hercules fight the Unversed. He then meets Hades, ruler of the Greek Underworld. Ventus then arrives, befriends Hercules and a mysterious young warrior, as they fight the Unversed, the helmeted warrior reveals himself as Zach Fair from Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7. Soldier 1st Class and a close friend of Cloud Strife. Zach then battles Terra and loses, but Hades corrupted Zach in an attempt to force Terra to fight him. Terra does fight Zach and frees him.
  • There's always that one world in every Kingdom Hearts game that's entirely just minigames; Guess Disney Town in Birth By Sleep is that world. 33:39. Smooth transition for the win! In all seriousness, this part is really well done.
  • You know when I wonder when Ven said he wishes somebody was looking out for him and he wishes he had friends he was subconsciously remembering his days being a dandelion before he was made a union leader by darkness. Because remember back then all of the squads and even dandelion members were just collecting Lux by themselves or even if they were in groups they weren’t exactly friends at all. It’s a interesting way to look at it and again knowing what we know now about Union X it really puts the events of BBS and the rest of the games in a new light
  • Damn i hope Nomura notices how many unfinished busines Zack has with the BBS trio and lets him come back.
  • @AmauriPoyntz
    Love seeing Zack in this new episode and seeing him meet ven and terra was sick :)
  • i now see why the disney town world has minigames: since the winnie the pooh book in merlin's house in radiant garden just unlocks a winnie the pooh command board, they needed a world to replace the hundred acre wood and its minigames

    Chip: Voted for Terra Dale: Voted for Terra Huey: Voted for Ventus Dewey: Voted for Ventus Louie: Forgot to vote Horace: Voted for Aqua Minnie: Voted for Aqua (She privately loved Aqua's scraping and bowing) Pete: Voted for himself Daisy: Voted for herself

    23:33 so no one’s going to bring up how creepy it was the way Mini turned her head?
  • Zack is one of my favorite heroes of FFVII (shoutout to Rick Gomez) and I still love that Josh Keaton voiced young Hercules!!
  • @JakobHunterek
    Too bad you didn't replace Zack's original Under the apple tree theme from the PSP with the Reunion version but... Oh well maybe in the next timeline.
  • @underscore55
    I’m loving this new timeline . Also I had enough patience for the rumble racing mini game . Although that fruit ball minigame was such a pain in the ass . But it was worth getting that shotlock for all three characters . Also, how did maleficent even find Pete ? And how come Zack was never mentioned again by either Phill or Hercules throughout the rest of the series ? I get it release order, but come on now.
