Should I watch KHχ[chi] now?

[Axeken 181]

As the topic states, should I watch KH χ[chi] now (as in youtube clips)? I've been wanting to wait to experience the end of KHχ in KHUχ but it seems the latter is seriously diverging. From what I can gather, the recent stuff involving the new Dandelion leaders is new content as well as the player character having fun with friends. It seems after the battle with Aced, in KHχ the keyblade war starts but in KHUχ, never happens. Or is it just that KHUχ is doing some "filler" at the moment?

Basically, my question is will the Keyblade war seen in KHχ happen in KHUχ or should I go ahead now and watch the old browser game's conclusion? I don't mind if you use mild spoilers if you need to explain something. I know the gist of KHχ's ending.

Union X works as a direct sequel to the pc version. The beginning is almost identical but have some subtle differences and is totally different when the Keyblade War starts. But like you asked, the Keyblade War won't be "playable" in Union X. I guess if I elaborate more, it will spoil Union X haha.

I think you should watch the cutscenes from X. If you're playing Union X things will make a little more sense.

Also, watch X Back Cover if you haven't!

What you should do is watch X all the way up to its ending, and also watch Back Cover, too. I won't say anything else, because I'd be spoiling, so watch those, and then after that, watch Union X. You'll understand why later!

These are really helpful. Thanks guys. x[chi] is my only gap in lore in the x saga (and KH in general). I've seen Back Cover and I'm caught up in both global and Japanese versions of the game although I am still a little confused in some spots.

Union X is definitely confusing in some points. They give the answers in a very "discreet" way rather than just saying it. After you watch X, if you have any doubts up to the English version story, just ask and I'll try to answer! Although I'm very confused with what happened last week haha

Thanks! I think I'll wait till the Aced fight in Global (i think that will release on the 8th Sept.) Then I'll watch all of X and rewatch Back Cover to see what I've missed.

Yes because there is so much that KHχ establishes that is important to understanding fully Union χ. I highly recommend you watch KHχ. You can watch the cutscenes on KHInsider's YouTube channel.

[Elfdemon_ 695]

Yes, you should definitely watch it if you have the time.

 

The process of what you need to do to experience the "χ" series of KH games' story is way overly complicated, but I’ll do my best to explain what you need to do for you.

Kingdom Hearts χ was a Japanese-only browser game. Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ is the worldwide mobile port of Kingdom Hearts χ. But, it’s been recently revealed to be a sequel, not a port. This is the complicated part. At the end of Kingdom Hearts χ, the Player goes into the Unchained realm which causes the Player to go through their entire journey again, except without the finale. The same thing happens to the Dandelions, except they went into the Unchained realm before the Keyblade War. Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ is you playing as the character from Kingdom Hearts χ going through their entire journey again, except without the finale. So, as you can see, Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ sort of acts as a port of Kingdom Hearts χ, as well as a sequel to it. The reason they don't repeat the Keyblade War again while in the Unchained realm is a spoiler, so I won't explain it unless you ask me to.

 

Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ has ended, and recently a “season 2” to the game was released called “Kingdom Hearts Union χ." It continues the game from after the characters have completed going through their entire journey a second time.

 

So, what you have to do is this:

 

1.) Watch the Kingdom Hearts χ cutscenes, translated to English. I’ve made a playlist of them here.

 

2.) Watch Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover. It’s the movie that’s in 2.8. It tells the story of Kingdom Hearts χ, but from the perspective of different characters.

 

3.) Play Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage- if you haven't already. The beginning cutscene takes place after the finale of Kingdom Hearts χ.

 

4.) You don’t have to watch all of the Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ cutscenes, because they’re the same as the Kingdom Hearts χ cutscenes. Just remember to keep in mind that the characters went through the same journey from Kingdom Hearts χ a second time, aside from the finale.

 

5.) Watch the Kingdom Hearts Union χ cutscenes. I’ve made a playlist of them here. This takes place after the characters went through the same journey a second time.

 

6.) Wait for new Kingdom Hearts Union χ cutscenes. They’ll release slowly over 2017 and maybe even 2018. I’ll update the Union χ playlist I made whenever new cutscenes come out, so make sure the keep track of it.

I'm all caught up on the x[chi] saga now and I'm more confused than I was before (that's KH for ya ) so I still have a few questions? 

 

Is the turning down being a Danilion part onwards all a dream in both KHx and KHUx?

Is the "Unchained world" the realm of light (aka the normal world) or is it another sleeping world?

If possible. can you point out where it says that KHUx is a time-loop? 

Is x Back Cover part of the dream? 

 

Any answers and clarifications would be greatly appretiated

No, none of KHx is a part of the dream, except for the secret ending "Unchained 0[Zero]". The dream for the Player begins with Unchained 0[Zero]. And all of KHUx is a part of the dream.

 

Is the "Unchained world" the realm of light (aka the normal world) or is it another sleeping world?

It's the realm of sleep. The realm of sleep can either be dreams of worlds that have fallen to darkness or dreams of a person. In this case, it's the Player's dreams. The Player is inside their own dreams as far as we know. Just like how Sora got sent into his own dreams near the end of Dream Drop Distance. And each Dandelion is in their own dream.

 

If possible. can you point out where it says that KHUx is a time-loop?

This is kind of difficult since all of this info is spread across the games and you need to sort of piece it together, but I'll do my best. It mainly all comes together in Union Cross and explains it all.

• Ava in x Back Cover: "This session may seem like it's familiar to you, but in a world that is different, one made of dreams..."
• The Master of Masters in KHUx: "You won't need memories of tragedy in the coming era. I want you to go to a completely separate realm and experience for yourselves an age of no tragedy."
• Chirithy in KHUx: "At first I thought it'd be horrible to lie to them, but now I really do want them to forget after all..."
• Ephemer in KHUx: "Whenever something happens in this new world that diverges from the old one, I feel more and more uneasy."
• The Player and Chirithy are laying in the same exact position in Unchained 0[Zero] as they were at the end of KHx at the end of the Keyblade War.
• The Player having flashbacks of the Keyblade War when it hasn't happened in KHUx.

Is x Back Cover part of the dream?

No, it's an alternate perspective of KHx.

Thanks Elfdemon This helps a bunch

 

EDIT:

 

No, none of KHx is a part of the dream, except for the secret ending "Unchained 0[Zero]". The dream for the Player begins with Unchained 0[Zero]. And all of KHUx is a part of the dream.

So in Unchained 0[ZERO], Chirithy lied to the player saying x[chi] was a dream when KHUX is the dream?
If so, that clears a lot of things up
