Penultimate Coded commentary
-TIME TO GO FIGHT WHATEVER’S CAUSING RIKU’S BUGS. But how do you fight a lack of showers?
-Despite the fact that Riku is a journal and Sora is a fake derpclone, they are really damn cute together. It's kinda nice to see a representation of them being friends that lasts longer than a few minutes.
-I CAN’T FIND THE REST OF THE MATRIX POWER POINTS THAT THIS LEVEL TOOK AWAY. Whatever, 86% is enough, right? I’m overleveled as usual.
-Oh hello there manskirt Riku with a pained expression.
-Instead of a standard peppy boss theme, we will be fighting corrupted data Riku to Riku’s theme. It’s so tragical.
-BAM. Done. Yeah, overleveled. I feel like that would have been a difficult fight otherwise, though. The manskirt always is.
-Riku’s been debugged! Let’s get him the special shampoo anyway just in case.
-OH MY GOD JOURNAL RIKU DON’T START GETTING EMO ABOUT THE DARK JEALOUSY INSIDE OF YOU NOW. YOU ARE A COMPUTER FILE!!!!!
-...but it’s okay because data Sora cheering him up is ridiculously cute.
-MYSTERIOUS EARTHQUAKE. THIS IS NEVER A GOOD THING.
-”Someone’s trying to close off the door to the outside world!” But we’re inside Riku now, so the outside world is still within the journal... :|a This really is Inception!
-And suddenly, Sora's flat again! Oh hey, it’s the music from when Sora walks the plank in KH1. Long time no hear.
-UGH TIMED LEVELS. HATE. But I make it out into...Hollow Bastion: Dragon’s Lair.
…
FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!
-GO AWAY MALEFICENT no just kidding please stay you are awesome
-Okay her speech on why the darkness is better is kind of sad :( She just doesn’t want to be hurt, you guys. That's why she hurts others first. Get her some therapy and a drink. We'll talk it out.
-That was easier than I thought. Overleveled or really easy battle pattern? Dragon girl be slipping.
-Hooray, that was the last of the bugs and everyone can go to the real world again! HAHAHAHA YOU FOOLS. IT’S NEVER THAT EASY.
-”Next time let’s bring the whole gang!” I’d love to see them explain this to Riku and Sora. I would watched it through my fingers.
-Riku’s got something to say but doesn’t want to say it. Hmmmm. Are they gonna forget everything? They’d be in good company I guess.
-Oh, I guess it was that easy. But there’s still shit to go down. AT LEAST TWO WORLDS LEFT.
-I get it! It’s Sora and Riku who won’t remember, because they won’t exist, sorta...if the journal is reset to before it got all fucked up. Or Sora, at least.
-Blahblahblah hearts connecting are the most important things blahblahblah
-OH NOES RED ALERT HOWEVER COULD ANYONE HAVE SEEN THIS COMING
-”Glitch found in darkness. Awakening dark glitch.” That sounds oddly sinister.
-So something’s trying to delete the journal data and the only way to save it is to lock it BUT Pete and Maleficent are still in there. Lord. Pissiest computer ever, that’d be.
-Man, it’s weird to see Riku in Organization gear in the Hollow Bastion Grand Hall. Games colliding.
-AW YEAH IT’S RAIL SHOOTER TIME AGAIN
-Pete and Maleficent against a Darkside and they’re having trouble? You guys, I am disappoint. Even if it is dressed like it’s at a rave.
-So somehow it’s data Sora's Heartless doing all this...sure, okay. Why not.
-”Defeated Heartless return hearts to the people who lost them” THEY DO NOT unless the Org was lying. But they’d never do that, right?
-GOING IN TO SAVE THE DAAAAAY AND FIGHT DATA HEARTLESS SORA
-GOT SPAAAAANKED REPEATEDLY Off to level...
-OKAY I’M BACK. YES. GOT HIM.
-”It’s evolving!” There’s a Pokemon joke in here.
-/SCREAMS
-CREEPY YELLOW EYED SORA...does a pirouette.
-That wasn’t so hard with all the leveling. But Sora? You were a DOUCHEBAG. Or had the potential to be a douchebag...something. Douche.
-”Why’s he looking at me like that?” YEAH, WHY?
-Oh, not done. Now there’s three of him. Of course.
-It’s an odd thing to notice, but I like the sound effects when he sends keyblades slamming into the ground after you. CLANK. They have weight.
-”When is this gonna end?” SERIOUSLY, SORA, I’M WITH YOU ON THIS.
-Now all three versions are hurling keys at me. 8( Unfair.
-And in a cutscene, Sora bops the darkside on the head. So fierce.
-FUCK YEAAAAAH MICKEY’S HERE TO SAVE OUR ASS!
-And Mickey holds off the darkside while Sora smacks a shadow. Somewhat lacking in drama.
-Wow, HB clocked in at almost 8 hours. That has to include all the time I spent leveling elsewhere, right?
-Saved the villains and they are not grateful. Looks like she’s holding her help in KH2 up to data Sora.
-”The journal is our hearts.” (ﾉಥ益ಥ）ﾉ ┻━┻
-CUTSCENE TIME YAY. Cutscenes are never bad.
-This acts like the end of the game but I know it ain't. It’s even playing endgame data music but IT IS A LIIIIIEEEEE.
-…bitty sora on their screen TOO PRECIOUS
-No, Goofu, you never did figure out that message. GJ.
-A NEW WORLD IN THE JOURNAL WHAT COULD IT BE
WHAT WORLD DO THEY NOT REMEMBER
EXTRA DATA HMMM
-It was added after the other data restored? interesting.
-So Sora’s been reset...wait does that mean I can’t do extra quests and stuff? :<
-AND MICKEY’S GOING BACK IN. To do...something.
-Hey that’s a familiar pluto facelick in Traverse Town. We're back that far?
-Wait, Mickey was in TT when Sora arrived there? THANKS FOR THE HELP, MOUSE GUY.
-And once again Sora is all kinds of SURE I’LL DO WHATEVER when asked for help.
-AWWW YEAH CASTLE OBLIVION
-“Me? I’m nobody.” I wonder who this could POSSIBLY be.
-How cute. Parroting speeches from COM like he could even talk back then.
-OK, you can still go back for shiny things. That’s good.
-LET’S DO THIS. The room is still a CO room but it’s got like...splashes of distorted images from DI on the walls. Pretty damn creepy. And Selphie and co seem to think it IS an island still.
-...CREEPY BATTLE MUSIC IS CREEPY
-A hidden truth that isn’t part of his memories....is this new material from kh1 era? :|a Neat.
-"You’re like a sponge" There are worse compliments, Sora.
-This is an awful lot of philosopjhy
-The castle music here really is eerie :/
-Gotta rescue the damned ducks again. Let’s just eat them.
-DID SORA JUST GET BEHEADED IN WONDERLAND WHAT
-Okay I'm not going to recap each floor that's doing something in each of the worlds we've been through because that's boring. But it's a very sort of "examine what your choices have made of your life" kinda thing, because each floor has three possible endings and you can go back and get the different ones. Some are kinda Bad End.
-"It was too easy to break your heart" ;A; ROXAS YOU ARE A DICK
-Aw, Mickey can only send his voice like in Reverse/Rebirth. Nostalgia.
-FUCKING PETE GET OUT oh this time you really are data. Well okay.
-AT THE END OF HOLLOW BASTION. Yay. AND WE ARE BEING ATTACKED BY MY BITTY BOY. Yeah, game, you just keep to the "???" for the boss name field, we all know who this is.
-So data Roxas is trying to get Sora to let go of the hurt that keeps dragging him down...what, to be more like a Nobody? :|a
-Haha, when you die it straight-out tells you to have two healing commands installed. And to not attack until he stops moving. IDK how I feel about the game giving me strategy tips.
-MAN, ROXAS REALLY LIKES HIS STATUS EFFECTS
-Awwww, he's using the exact effects from his second limit break in Days :')
-And we get Oathkeeper :')
-I didn't really want that battle to end. /pathetic fangirl
-"No point in destroying what never really existed..." ROXAS YOU HAVE ISSUES EVEN AS DATA. He's also the only one who seems to give a damn that he IS data. Interesting.
-He's connected to data Roxas' hurt :( Baaaaaw.
-Yep, he was being a douche kind of as a test. I figured.
-JESUS CHRIST EVEN DATA ROXAS' STORY IS SAD. GAH.
That's pretty much it except special achievements and watching the end (which I just did) but I'll type up my thoughts on that later since they'll be longer. Though they can also be summed up as "???!!!!"
-Despite the fact that Riku is a journal and Sora is a fake derpclone, they are really damn cute together. It's kinda nice to see a representation of them being friends that lasts longer than a few minutes.
