i couldn't stop thinking about these things after my first kingdom hearts playthrough ended, so i turned them into a video essay.

timestamps:
0:00 Intro
0:35 Chapter 1: Yoko Shimomura
5:44 Chapter 2: Sora and Riku
9:33 Chapter 3: The Magic

i used a lot of other people's recorded gameplay for this because i wanted a quick turnaround on this video idea and didn't want to spend all day figuring out ps2 emulation and then spend all of the next day playing kingdom hearts again. here's links to all the videos i took from:
