That place. The place with the thing.
Randomly messing around in KH3 the other day and was amazed to discover one of the islands in the Caribbean has a big fucking manta ray swimming slowly around the underwater outskirts. You can swim up to it and everything.

I watched a YouTube video the other day describing how you could freez the oven that the Trickmaster lights his matches with that surprised me. I figured the Cheshire Cat's Blizzard gift was really just to help put the matches out; I didn't realize you could stop them from being lit in the first place.

Looking through Nomura's ultimania interview last night led me to learn you can go into first person mode when using attraction flow. Just did it with the magic carousel and 🤯

That'll be fun for the roller coaster too!

Visualworks has made other weird mistakes, 0.2 had to be patched to fix Ventus-Vanitas having chin armor and Aqua having a chin you could see from space

I had no idea, I want to go find comparisons of this and see.

Yesterday I got a rare(?) line of dialogue in KH1 from the hotel clerk in Traverse Town. Normally I've only ever been able to get them to say "No vacancies." and "Paintings are great...", but when interacting with them directly after beating Opposite Armor, they said

"Paintings are great... If you ever stay the night, try hitting the clock."

which was pretty funny considering I've known about hitting the clock for 20+ years but never got that dialogue to trigger until now.

It's amazing how many secrets KH1 has, how many little differences there are depending on the order you do things, or inconsequential details you can miss if you don't look at the right time. It's something I wish each of the games would have had, makes KH1 a little more special in that regard.

I try to do weird things and change up my sequence of actions every time I play just to see what else there might be. Last year I discovered that, during the first revisit to Traverse Town, if you go to the empty house in the third district AFTER talking to Leon but BEFORE getting the book from Cid, Yuffie will be there alone with the lights off, proclaiming that the house will make a great hideout.

Every world has a 'post-Keyhole' state that it goes into (besides Deep Jungle and Monstro, which throw you out of the world after completion) where there are no Heartless around, so it's a good time to go get trinities, chests, and other shit. Some worlds have unique post-boss dialogue, like Leon hanging out in front of the Dalmation house and asking Sora to rescue them all.

It's such a meticulous game. It's no wonder I felt like KH2 was comparatively empty, even when I was a kid. Nowadays I can see that all the extra polish went into the combat, and I can appreciate that, but it's definitely not a perfect followup that expands on KH1's amount of content.

Huh. I'm pretty sure I've gotten that one a couple of times.
I think there's an esoteric condition of interacting with a certain painting BEFORE ringing the bell three times. You talk to the painting, get the "paintings are great" dialogue, then you hit the bell thrice to get the full dialogue.

It's more hidden than the secret it tries to tell you.

I mean

It clearly wasn't since DDD was in 2012 way before Dark Road.
You don't think that explaining why Xehanort thought he was Ansem was one of the things Dark Road wanted to provide an explanation for?

I mean, this is the series that decided to explain why Mickey wasn't wearing a shirt instead of just quietly retconning it.
