Happy March Caprice 2024!! It's the data year... if recoded has one fan that's me

[aitsuheart]

Recoded anniversary was yesterday and I missed it. It's the game that had so many precious Soriku moments.

Data Riku saves Sora after being unarmed.

Data Sora saves Riku after getting kidnapped and then goes into his data to help bring him back.

Data Riku tries to apologize for everything but Sora won't have it because he loves him and wants to help Riku regardless.

I love how the fandom as a whole all agrees the ending of recoded didn't happen. Why did they have to lose the memories. Why couldn't they just be silly and hang out whenever?

Data Sora & Data Riku are not the same as the other Riku and Sora by the way. Data Sora is also able to face hurt while the other Sora isn't. The reason for this is because Data Sora is what people think he is supposed to be like, but it's not actually what he is like.

However, it's one of the masks the other Sora has so people assume it's accurate which is why Sora couldn't handle hurt but the data version could. Sora uses smiles to pretend he's okay because he feels like he has to show everyone he is okay when in reality he isn't. He would rather everyone else be okay than himself.

Anyways I love Data Sora and Riku, they're so cute on screen. And I just love their little interactions.

Soriku Week Day 3: Ars Arcanum/Datascape

Data Soriku you’ll always be famous!!!

A fast doodle inspired by Re:Coded. My boys Riku and Sora from the Datascape, but Sora as a cute mini helper. 😊

After running an entire experiment for over a year and a half

I have finally perfected the best order to play the Kingdom Hearts series in

The aforementioned best order has been completely play-tested by an outsider new to KH in order to verify its effectiveness, and it goes as follows:

Kingdom Hearts 1

Kingdom Hearts X [chi] and Kingdom Hearts Union X [cross]

Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep • (start with Ventus, then Terra, and end with Aqua. Include Final Ending. Exclude Secret Ending)

Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain Of Memories

Kingdom Hearts 2 • (followed by Kingdom Hearts BBS’s Secret Ending)

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days • (read Roxas’s diary alongside the cutscene movie if not playing the original release. Then read the secret reports after finishing the game)

Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded • (you may also play Coded if so desired)

Kingdom Hearts Dark Road

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep 0.2 A Fragmentary Passage

Kingdom Hearts 3

Kingdom Hearts 3 Re:Mind

Kingdom Hearts Missing Link

Kingdom Hearts Melody Of Memory

Kingdom Hearts 4

Extra notes:

DON’T FORGET THE SECRET BOSSES! All the cutscenes that precede and follow every secret boss fight is important, so I recommend looking them up on YouTube if you can’t beat them

ALWAYS READ THE SECRET REPORTS!!!! All of them. For every game

Look up BBS’s Secret Ending on YouTube, unless you feel like beating all three routes on Proud Mode (including the Mysterious Figure boss… I think. Idk, look it up)

As of writing this post, Missing Link and 4 have not been released yet, so they may be skipped for now. However, based on their trailer vibes alone, I’d still recommend this order whenever they do release

The mobile app for KHUX and KHDR has been discontinued, so the only source we currently have for them are cutscene movies on YouTube and Damo’s fandubs

The Dark Road fandub is not out yet as of posting this video, but hopefully I can update this post whenever it does release (same with Missing Link cutscenes)

If you have any questions please reply to this post because I have answers!

Here are some obvious ones tho:

Days is AFTER 2 to preserve the Riku plot twist

Dark Road is BEFORE DDD to increase player attachment to Xehanort before he takes full control over the narrative

Ventus is played FIRST in BBS because it helps the narrative make more sense (sorry Nomura, Xehanort being evil is not a plot twist)

Any spoilers for future games revealed in the prequels are intentional (like Maleficent thinking about Master Xehanort in Union X, or Terra seeing a vision of KH2 Riku in BBS) and are meant to serve as foreshadowing

If anyone feels like streaming the games in this order please let me know. I skewed the results of my experiment a little by being present for the Test Subject’s playthrough, so it’d genuinely benefit from another account played entirely in a vacuum

But also we kind of sped through the games rather than relishing them. There’s so much to do in all the games but to get to the rest of the story we didn’t really play them to their fullest. I hope future players can enjoy all there is and take their time with it :3

Anyway, please reblog this post if you found it interesting! I want to share this order with the world because I genuinely think it’s the best way to play the games! And again, if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Thank you to @goldensunset @8golden-harvest8 @share-the-skye for acknowledging my experiment’s existence a couple times, y’all are real ones 💕💕💕

Tinkering with the data

[autumn-may]

[mythicalartistx]

Have some Data Riku and Sora

[imminent-danger-came]

I feel like I've heard so many takes on kh over the years, but the real answer about the story and it's decisions is that everything in kh is done for theme.

Why does data Riku contain the journal inside himself? Because they explore this concept of "their are worlds inside us", that wherever you go, you take pieces of the places you've been and people you've met with you, and those experiences change who you are (even sometimes leaving hurt where they used to be)

Why was Roxas put in a data twilight town? Because the heart is uncode-able. It's incalcuable. You will never be able to write down, capture, or understand everything about another person (something I think twewy also explores), even someone you think shouldn't or doesn't exist. You will never be able to fully understand them to even be able to determine that

Why does Ansem TW's machine turn Riku back into himself? Because Ansem's sacrifice, listening to his heart, gave Riku his identity back (the way Ansem lost his own in darkness). Ansem became Diz and Riku became Ansem, an imposter of ATW imposter—they both lost themselves for their goal. Riku shouldn't have done everything on his own much in the same way Ansem should have gone to Mickey for help. Ansem was destroying everything around him, and he tried to change that

Why did Aqua defeating Terra almost send the both of them to the ROD? Because Aqua needed to save Terra, and become lost to the Darkness she was so worried Terra would, and did, succumb to. She needed to succumb to that darkness herself. Literally why anti-Aqua exists.

Like that's it. It's for theme

I'm gonna tell my kids this was Xehanort:

Vee - Jan 24th of 2024

[marcirose]

Boy I love that part in Sailor Moon where Mamoru gets yoinked by the villain and brainwashed into fighting Sailor Moon

[aitsuheart]

i don't get people hating on recoded

it has super fun gameplay

"it doesn't make sense with the lore" ermm yeah it does. Him handling the hurt has to do with what Sora faces in kh3. it also has to do with data worlds in union x mobile game and Maleficent remembering being there.

it has one of the cutest Sora and Riku dynamic. Riku gets kidnapped and Sora has to go and save Riku.

also many cutscenes show them together in different worlds. It's what they always wanted to do together and they are flirting throughout them

They are so cute almost too much for me to handle

also the ending didn't happen

they kissed and are dating at the end
