The Kingdom Hearts community recently untied for an ambitious effort, dubbing the entirety of Kingdom Hearts Union χ [Cross]. Led by Kingdom Hearts content creator damo279, several fans provided their vocal talents for this project, comprising 36,000 words and 1,500 lines across roughly five hours of footage. Today, the first video of this fan dub was released, consisting of the story content in the original Kingdom Hearts χ [chi], alongside scenes from Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover and Kingdom Hearts Union χ at specific points to provide clearer narrative context. The credits for everyone involved in this first video of the Kingdom Hearts Union χ [Cross] fan dub are listed below: Director, Editor & Producer: Damo Project Manager / Coordinator & Assistant Director BatuqueOnda Assistant Editor & Credits Sequence Jeremy Love (2.41 Productions) Script Transcribing Damo RKS Legacy Additional Translations Cherrim Promotional Material kimpchuu (@kimpchuu) Production Consultation Damo's Stream Special Thanks DeVon Williams BatuqueOnda Voice Cast Chirithy / Dark Chirithy Kiyah Corse (@MistressNyxVA) Ephemer Christian Roberts (@Sir_ChantisVA) Skuld KindredMelody Strelitzia Julie D.

Recently, content creator Shesez uploaded a new video in his Boundary Break series, where he takes the camera anywhere he wants to discover secrets in various games. This time, Shesez tackled the first Kingdom Hearts entry, showcasing several intriuging finds, such as viewing angles that players would never see throughout their playthroughs, zoom-ins on models and areas, and more. Although, perhaps the most major part of this specific Boundary Break is fully seeing Sora’s room which is only ever partially seen otherwise. Unused elements in the Halloween Town world are also shown off. You can view the Boundary Break video for the first Kingdom Hearts game below or you can check it out on his Youtube Channel. The version he used is not the original PlayStation 2 release, but one of the HD re-releases. Shesez did a similar video for Kingdom Hearts II roughly four years ago.
