  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VP3piBQfRVM&amp;t=1303">21:43</a> My dear departed grandmother bought me a PS2 in 2003 specifically so I could play KH1. She never played but she loved to watch me play, and she provided color commentary. When Leon said &quot;you know what? I really don&apos;t know&quot; in response to Sora&apos;s &quot;what happened to my home?&quot; grandma scolded him, &quot;you really don&apos;t care, either!&quot; To this day I can&apos;t replay KH1 without hearing her say that.

  This looks like a good spot to find some ingredients

  What Kingdom Hearts does so cleverly is taking these iconic Disney characters like Mickey, Donald and Goofy and putting them in a darker and more serious stor without ruining their personalities. And I love that.

  I love the door in the secret place because it&apos;s such a thing you&apos;d find in a place where you played as a kid. There&apos;s just this weird-ass wooden doorframe with solid wood blocking it in the middle of nowhere, maybe it&apos;s a shed that got boarded up or something but you know you&apos;d be in big trouble if you messed with it

  &quot;Never forget Sora, you are the one who will open The Door to Light.&quot;

  Still think Kingdom Hearts 1 is still an unprecedented masterpiece of a game.

  Listening to you talk about 100 acre wood, the ending scene of that world makes me tear up every time, both in KH1 and 2. It does a really good job of embodying both what makes Winnie the Pooh so special and the strong themes of loving your friends that is so integral to Kingdom Hearts.

  Very glad you brough up Yoko Shimomura. I was at the Game Developers Conference the year when she won the lifetime achievement award. I also think that this track in hollow bastion is the best thing she has written up to this point, maybe ever. It&apos;s so good.

  When people complain about Sora becoming a &quot;weak Shadow&quot; of a Heartless, I always interpret that as the Shadows are the beings with little darkness in their hearts vs a giant like Darkside who is a being with alot of darkness from one&apos;s heart
