KINGDOM HEARTS TIMELINE is an incredibly massive project I've been wanting to do forever. The only thing that was stopping me from actually working on it was the still-incomplete plot of the χ[chi] portion of the whole saga, which is also the most confusing one. However, I did want to deliver this before the release of KINGDOM HEARTS 3, so we could have the perfect road to the final chapter of the Xehanort saga at our disposal and relive, together, all of the chapters in a definitive and never-seen-before way.
KINGDOM HEARTS TIMELINE is, in fact, different by any other playthroughs or projects around because it is composed of all the Kingdom Hearts titles released so far placed in chronological order. Beware – the events are actually settled chronologically. Which means that every single cutscene and/or gameplay part will follow the exact order of the events of the saga. For instance, the birth of Vanitas will be shown before the Mark of Mastery exam, and so on.
Every episode will start with a screen showing a complete timeline I created purposely for this project.
KINGDOM HEARTS TIMELINE doesn't want to be a simple movie made of cutscenes. If It were to be like that, there wouldn't be anything special about it. This project actually started as a playthrough, giving, of course, priority to story content.
Sitting and watching a 25 minutes video made of cutscenes we've been watching for a decade is just as boring as anything else. Gameplay bits have been thoughtfully placed to make sure you won't fall asleep when watching, giving their contribute for a more immersive experience. They are necessary for keeping people interested and entertained in a never-seen-before way to re-live the saga, watching multiple characters fighting at the same time, as well as showcasing the worlds and the variety of enemies we'll encounter through all the titles.
Besides, I'm not adding more than 1 minute or so of random gameplay in a total of 25 minutes for each episode–except for bosses lasting 2 minutes or so. Boss battles are still what people look forward to the most in a Kingdom Hearts playthrough, and this project won't be exception.
Finding the right balance is not easy and not always possible –due to countless technical restrictions related to music, episode length and such– just as it's not easy having everyone thinking alike. Of course, I can't make everyone happy, but I did want to point this out.
Lastly, I want you guys to know that the amount of effort being put for this is massive. There are countless hours of work and dedication I've spent (and still spending) for this, for something we all love and care about. My channel is, after all, always been made of this – content that will grant you one of the best levels of knowledge and enjoyment of the Kingdom Hearts saga – and, as much as it's stressful having to translate every Japanese Union χ [Cross] episode, I still do that to deliver the latest story updates of the saga for you.
My main goal is working as much professionally as I can and add details where normally people wouldn't add. Not liking a content is totally fine, whereas insulting and posting offensive comment is not. There is nothing worse than spending your own time to show dedication for something we all love and see offensive reactions coming back at you. For this whole project to be completed, suggestions and questions coming from fans are well accepted and needed. If you do think this deserves appreciation, leaving a Like on the video is more than enough to me. Thank you for reading all of this, and please enjoy!

A lot of stuff is about to happen in this episode! This one required a lot of effort and I love how emotional it is. Plus, an extra scene re-created from scratch is part of it. I just couldn't wait for you guys to watch it in such a context, especially because not everyone are even aware of that even happening. Enjoy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROXAS!!!
-
Roxas awakening scene in a nutshell: Ugh... Stranger danger! Stranger danger! Xemnas: Come join my cool and totally radical organization. Your name is now Roxas. Roxas: Okay I guess.
-
I love the part that you have to create a conversation between Namine and Terra, and connect it to the part where he fights Xehanort back.
-

Wow, I can't believe you manage to create a new cutscene (the 2nd new one, counting the Case of Aqua), based on an dialogue only heard in the Concerts in Japan. Now all makes sense, how Terra could spoke with Aqua in the Dark World and help her, it was his Lingering Will, after a brief meeting with Naminé; and why Xemnas prepared the Organization members to Castle Oblivion. Aqua's journey is coming close to the end, maybe next time we'll see her with a certain king...

This is always emotional for me hearing Donald say "Come back Sora" Also that Riku fight I be jumping on the control panel to dodge his dark aura

THERES NO WAY YOURE TAKING KAIRIS HEART If you remember this, you apply for a veteran's discount
-
I LOVE THE PART WHERE YOU CREATED THIS SERIES
-
You are truly the Kingdom Hearts master. And adding in First Breath? Completely brilliant and unexpected. I'm excited to see how you handle Days.
-
Man only sora would smile at his friends before piercing his own heart
-
Anyone else think Riku was fighting Ansem's control during this fight. The quote "Here it comes" just sounds like a warning from Riku.. Like Riku is warning Sora to either guard or dodge Ansem's attack.
-
Very amazing episode, Everglow! The inclusion of the First Breath script was a very nice touch since that was only available to those who went to the concert in Japan. Now more people will be able to learn more of rare scenes that are canon to the Xehanort saga. Well done.

0:18 When I saw 358/2 days. The birth of Roxas has come
-
What. Even. What is... what.. WHAT DID YOU JUST DO. Whatever it was, it was amazing. I guess this is canon now.
-
I lost my SHIT WHEN YOU INCLUDED THE FIRST BREATH SCENE. Wow. Wow. Wow. I'm completely floored by this episode. The way you've interwoven Sora, Ven, and Roxas's stories at this part of the timeline is such a tremendous feat, and your cinematic storytelling is, as per usual, superb. Words can't do it justice. This lends a whole new weight and cohesion to all three of the games (and concert!) that you've braided into one. As an aside, I love love love that Terranort's (interrupted) "My name is..." comes in the same episode that we see both Ansem SoD and Xemnas for the first time. Just another masterful detail in a myriad of others. Truly incredible.
-
YES!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for including the conversation between Terra and Namine! That scene was absolutely incredible! This might be my favourite episode, much like episodes 32 and 33, it's a transitional episode, showing multiple games connecting. I love all the hard work you put into this series Everglow! Incredible work as always!
-
Ansem: It is I, Ansem, the Seeker of Darkness. Sora: Never heard of you.

The Lingering Will and Namine scene from the concert was a nice touch, although it seems a bit strange for Namine to be speaking to Terra like that after just being born. I mean I understand that that’s probably the only point where it would fit in the timeline but it still seems strange that she’s communicating with someone she gave no indication of being aware of before after just coming into existence. And it IS after she was just born since DiZ later confirms that Namine came into being the same time Roxana did.
-
This episode was amazing, and its so cool to see us jumping around between so many titles yet the story flows and remains coherent due to the way you've structured this series. I am also completely stunned by the inclusion of the First Breath cutscene. Amazing work creating that from scratch, I truly didn't expect that and it was a fantastic surprise.
