VG Myths - Can You Beat Kingdom Hearts At Level 1?

In the hopes it clears up any confusion: I'm fully aware the Level 1 Run already exists and everybody knows it already exists. The challenge is arguably even required for 100% completion, given the devs explicitly tell players to do it through inclusion of EXP Zero. VG Myths, as it currently exists, is a place to showcase challenge runs I find interesting. The "Can You Beat" in the titles is not a question of the challenge's possibility, but a direct questioning of one's individual ability to take on the challenge. This video exists solely because I've personally wanted to do Level 1 Runs of the Kingdom Hearts series for years; I don't intend on making any claims of it being impossible or unprecedented. That said, please throw as much constructive criticism at me as you possibly can. This video did make me go through something of an identity crisis reconsidering exactly what my main intent with VG Myths was. I ultimately decided "allowing the viewer to experience the challenge run themselves" was my answer. Let me know how well I conveyed that experience~ <3

“I have no idea if the attack stat actually HELPS at this point, but it is a higher number. And I like higher numbers.” JRPGs in a nutshell.

Imagine trying to kill a small boy, a cartoon duck, and some really tall dog but then the kid hits you there times with a key and then summons Robin Williams from Aladin and an orphan dear, and they murder you in about a minute

Sora at Destiny Islands: “I’ve learned nothing” Sora at the End of the World: “I’ve learned nothing”

Chain of Memories. Marluxia: Now you’re at level 1, you’re a fool for coming to this castle! Sora: Huh...I don’t feel any different. Marluxia: Wait, what...?

Fun Fact: Sephiroth from Kingdom Hearts shows up in the new Final Fantasy 7 game that just came out this week!

"Everyone's favourite Disney character Satan" How many takes was that?

"That means he's entered Phase 2, where he'll start pretending to try." that doesnt make any sense but I love it

I can’t believe Sephiroth from Kingdom Hearts is in Smash

"I just spun around in circles screaming about how dead I wasnt until eventually I wasnt" Yep, pretty much every Kingdom Hearts level 1 run overview

"Can you beat Kingdom Hearts at Level 1?" Looks at all the Lv 1 speedruns of the game I don't know, man...

"However, eventually I finally remembered party members can also use items. Give a dozen megalixers to Goofy and Peter Pan like an absolute idiot and they'll occasionally accidentally hit you with one while throwing them down at passing cars." Instant subscription. Got a good laugh out of my roommate and I. =D

You know I remember when my brother and I first played this we didn’t realize you could change key blades and used just the normal key blade the entire time. So stressful

I feel like the premise here was rhetorical, considering all the speedruns that operate on this premise. I get the feeling he just wanted to try it himself.

“Of course this is entirely subjective, so the right choice will depend on the person. If you prefer dying, choose attack or defense.”

"Pictured: Friendship" I just love the part where Sora yeets Pooh into the setting sun.

Mushu in Kh2: “Sora and I used to kick all kinds of butt.”

I feel like “Can you beat Kingdom Hearts while understanding the storyline the whole time” might’ve been a more challenging run.

Maleficent: turns into a dragon Genie: laughs evilly

The phrase 2:12 “despite your choices in the personality quiz, goofy will inevitably reach level 2” is why I both love and hate Kingdom hearts
