Bit of a random video, It's been years since I've played Kingdom Hearts 2 & I wanted to upload this Boss fight because Final Form Xenmas is my favorite Boss fight of all time & this was my first time ever beating a KH Game on Critical Mode xD
We Shall go Together!
InbetweenGamer I love this game
It's an awesome game, One of my all time favorites :)
InbetweenGamer yeah they are also making a kingdom hearts 3
Yeah I know :)
Hopefully it comes out next year I've been waiting for over 10 years xD
Square Enix: "Sora must be the one to deal the final blow to every boss."
Riku: "OUTTA MY WAY!"
XDDD
I always finished this battle like that too. Having Riku land the final blow with the limit break was just too fitting.
Honestly they set the bar really fucking high for this final boss I still think this is the best final boss in the series.
Facts
arguably one of the best in all of gaming
I feel like kh3 is better mechanics wise like xemnas is a pushover
Sadly this is probably the easiest final boss in the series, which is weird for being KH2.
@@gumi6751 To be honest I'm ok with that, it's not really the difficulty but the overall atmosphere this fight evokes is what I love about this fight. Plus, the data fight is not so forgiving compared to the regular boss fight.
The laser deflection portion is my favorite moment in the entire series. This is the moment where I said “aaayyyeeeeee my boys ain’t playin!!!!”
Even though I died twice because I was too stupid to realised I had to press both x and triangle at the same time, it was so epic.
@@edgarb.6187bro ty
The synergy between Sora and Riku in this fight is the ultimate payoff in the entire series and the ultimate relationship goals. They grew up together, they fought, they went their own ways for a bit. But they ultimately came together and consistently had each others’ backs in this ultimate final battle. You can see them visibly go harder when either of them is compromised at any point in this encounter, and it’s so apparent that aside from their goal to take down Xemnas, each others’ safety is a primary directive. I love this fight so much.
This is still to this day my favorite final boss fight not just in kingdom hearts but in my whole years of gaming the way Riku takes most of the hits for sora even with a broken arm just shows how much he regrets what he did in 1 and you can see sora is mostly on offense in this fight which just makes sense for his character. And that’s why 2 is my favorite game the fights just have so much lore behind it when a fight is important it is IMPORTANT in a story standpoint
Honestly kh2 is just hands down the best game in the entire series. Maybe one of the best ones out there. Especially considering kh as a concept (FF+Disney) shouldn’t have worked. But it did cuz nomura is a great storyteller. I hate when people don’t want to give kh a try cuz they think it’s gonna be lame due to the Disney characters. I’m like you don’t know what you’re missing out on
@@jackluffy7914 This is easily in the Top 5 final bosses of my gaming lifetime
I just wish that in kh3 sora Riku and kairi didn't feel that disconnected
They werent just back to back in the laser dome, they actively covered the other's blind spots. The speed and trust they needed to not only deflect projectiles moving at the speed of light from literally all angles is inhuman.
Some of the best presentation in final boss history
They did a good job making every boss and area Interesting and unique
The dude chucks a fucking building at you and transforms into a dragon he's the king of presentation imo.
They did it so good that they peaked. Future games just don't make threats look convincing. Even the part where they lost in kh3, it just makes you shake your head in disbelief
RIP X and triangle ;_; your sacrifice won´t be forgotten
I had my bro to help at that part; our fingers cramped in turns, so the controller changed hands at least twice XD
Well, to be fair, the moment he noticed his fingers wasn't quick enough, he shoved the controller in my direction XD
XD i never beat demex (; - ;')
So you have to push triangle and X at the same time
No just Triangle no need to press X, I finish that Game many times I only press Triangle
Joader R. Lmao no it will not be forgotten
I love the symbolism at 4:08. Riku’s Keyblade faces down, like its wielder who went down a dark path, and Sora’s facing up, someone who has clung to the light. Now working together to fight the Nothingness in between that threatens them both
Its also better when you realize the reason sora is even able to dual wield is because of Ventus's heart inside him and the way he holds Riku's keyblade is in the style of Ventus
1:17 he circles Sora with 13 lasers. It must be his favorite number or something.
Number 13 has more meaning than you think
1 laser for every organization member.
@@LemontLMontyJohnson i see 14 lasers,prolly cuz of a person i cant remember,mhhh i think her name was xi- ah its prolly my imagination
@@iasonasgian5170xi- who?
Youre probably making that up
Ever wonder why there're no Dalmations in KH2? Take a look at Xemnas' coat.
floooooooooooooooood NOOOOOOOO
Oof
LMFAOOOO
Ha ha ha ha "woof woof" MWA HA HA HA HA HA!
...
Cruella Devile you crazy bitch! :0
Those combo's at the very end... when riku was hit... shit man... sora just lost it
Ikr
I guess Sora's mad that he couldnt prevent his friend getting hurt ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I love it when they both wanna protect each other and their other friends
When Kairi gets captured,
Sora:Kairi,i'll find you...
When Riku gets hurt,
Sora:LEAVE MY FRIEND ALONE B#%?£!!!!!
@@dantemedina4829 accurate xD
Just imagine what he'll do in kh3
4:33
Sora: Riku..-
Riku: Out of my way!
Lmao
No One Ever he needed revenge
@@titanicthegreatesticebucke4702 Riku: He's mine!
Sora: Riku.
Riku: Time’s up!
Xemnas: *keyblade...*
This is like DMC 5
Dante: “get out of my way Nero”
Nero: “WTF I’m not in your way”
WE SHALL GO TOGETHER
Seeing Xemnas' final attack left my mouth agape like Sora's at that same moment. I never saw anything quite like it in an RPG and it has to be one of my favorite battles in any game.
In my opinion, this is the best final boss in Kingdom Hearts.
Such an epic setpiece it was.
Yeah this fight still gives me goosebumps because of the epic voice lines and music.
Facts
Anyone else disappointed that Sora and Riku didn’t have a badass limit attack for 3 even though it was in the cutscene ?
I know I am. The little cinematic Quick Time Events that was present F O R. E V E R Y. B O S S. with their own unique animations too, wasn’t present in KH3. Sure, we got those Disney rides, which were a very cute touch, but for most it got repetitive.
@@juliustalavera231 i dont think like disney rides were a good add up to the point i think it was a waste of time creating those
@@reborn9488 I absolutely hated the rides. I wanted to feel like a badass keyblade master but they made me ride trains and teacups.
@@PuchimonExtreme I wish you could disabled them. So disappointing. I wanted new frms and more limits with characters
I think all of us are especially since the dlc added stuff for almost every other team. Coming off Kh3D which was a better game in my opinion had a great team attack for them as well. Like I feel kh3 is just a bunch of missed opportunities rolled into 1
Reported for animal abuse. How dare these 2 boys attack a zebra?
daniel white
Justified self defense, the zebra was trying to kill them.
@@platuimknight8769 understandable. Here's a like for you.
@@platuimknight8769...with lightning???
“No charges found your honor, they were attacking… nobody.”
I love this fight , it's the best in the entire Ku series for me
Greatest final boss fight so far in video game history! Being surrounded completely by lasers and deflecting them desperately like two anime characters was beyond genius. Finishing cinematic where Sora saves Riku and they both finish Xemnas was also pure genius. I have extremely high expectations for the final boss fight of Kingdom Hearts 3 for good reason.
I'm honestly afraid that they won't top this, or even get close to this type of kino. All I can do is hope.
Shiroshii are you kidding? Literally Everyone is basically revived like Saiix Ansem Xehanort Marluxia and Larxene. Its gonna be dope
@@jokulle77 And that's the problem. KH2 was kino af, because you had a 3 stage boss fight with Xemnas, which had a cool setting like The World That Never Was. It was also free from tying up as many plot points as KH3 has to to proceed further. It's also largely the Osaka Team that is in charge of making KH3, so while there are people from the old team working on KH3, they might've taken a vastly different direction towards it. Nomura did say that the development was based on KH2, but I still have mixed feelings, and it'll be hard to top this KH2's final boss fight.
@@motionisdead9796 NIGGA WE'RE GONNA KILL XEHANORT
Shiroshii boss battle with Xehenort is definelty top this one everyone is waiting for this battle to happen plus it’s the ending of xehenort saga so they going to make a way better than kh2
This boss fight was so badass. Maybe not the most difficult of the series but definitely was my favorite.
I have to disagree, this fight can be a bitch on critical
@@supersaiyan4gogeta12 preach, if you make it past Roxas on critical mode everything is downhill from there as for difficulty. Lol
That's mad cap bro was a damn beast
@@supersaiyan4gogeta12Final Xemnas is one of the easier bosses in this game I remember I used to do his data fight on critical just for fun. Now Lingering Will is a boss not to be fucked with
He fucked me up for hours when I first fought him but that was probably because I was under leveled lol I think I fought in at level 53
Kingdom hearts 3 did not live up to this legendary game
SirLantz yeah if only those organization fight have this kinda like battle animation gameplay.
Compared to this, those fight just bland as *uck.
😒
Exactly
I think it did
I was kinda upset I had to wait 13 years for that
I just love how this fight was like Sora needs Riku's help or they are doomed . Every moment Xemnas tries to take advantage of sora and Riku is like back the fuck up.
Kh3 says Sora is weak and vulnerable now but never really shows it. While this is when Sora is like full power and Xemnas is beating his ass. I love Kh2
For real though. Sora fought xemnas like 4 times in kh2 and it took him a while to beat him. Them in ddd he lost his power and took on xemnas ansem and young xehanort without getting tired. How?!
Sora failed to the test to beat xemnas without help he fell to dark energy the great wizard even calls it out in kh3
Yen sid says he failed to awaken himself
@@johnpantag472big difference between 2 and 3 is that Xemnas was powered by Kingdom Hearts during KH2's fight, while they're still trying to open it in 3. So it's no wonder he seems just as strong in 3, he's fighting weaker versions of opponents he already beat.
Never forget that line "you shall go together.."
It's we shall go together. And it shows that xemnas shows that can't win after all these fights so if he is gonna die he will take sora and Riku with him.
"There is no such thing as Light" - Xemnas before using the most badass attack in KH history 😎
riku definitely stole the last hit lmao
The reason why he said "out of my way!"
Riku: mine mine Mine Mine MINE MINE *MINE!*
Dbza reference?
yeah
Riku said "fuck any type of prophecy this is my hit"
I wanted to show people this boss fight and honestly the way you handled the fight shows a good representation of this fight and all of its glory and how much thought and planning took to do it so efficently.
0:31 i love that reaction command.
4:34 - Riku wanted that final hit EXP
This final boss fight is vastly superior to Kingdom Hearts 3 final boss fight.
One thing that bothers me is that still even on lvl 99 xemnas does a lot of damage on critical but in kh3 xehanort does like no damage at all.
Xemnas is arguably one of the best bosses in video games, or at least final bosses. This game was ahead of it’s time
There was nothing more satisfying than being a kid and beating Xemnas after the 100th time fighting him. It took EVERYTHING IN ME to beat him lol. Mainly for the reason I didn’t know you could add abilities to sora (Ik Ik). I basically beat Xemnas with an ability-less sora. This Final boss fight has to be one of the best Final Bosses ever, when you fought him, you could feel the lingering doom that waits for you if sora and riku isn’t able to beat him. Also the fact everyone you fought with is somewhere else and all you have is your long lost best friend who you now have to fight alongside, with all your heart. It gave somewhat of a comfort in the darkness that was all around you.
Andy Mejia lol abilitless
Between not knowing about equipable abilities, and thinking I could completely ignore limit commands, I couldn't even get past Demyx on my first run of the game as a child. Such a fool I was.
Steez Harvey FR demyx was the hardest boss fight besides this one. It took me FOREVER to beat him
@@andymejia5456 I too had that struggle because I didn't know about abilities and until I reached the World that Never Was I stuck with the kingdom key.
Jesus, the first 40 seconds of this video shows you how wild this boss fight can get. The music and setting straight up compliment it so well.
Holy frick.. this is unbelievably good. I’m speechless. Sora and Riku are incredible together, they’re in perfect sync.. like. Oh my god, especially when they were deflecting the lasers. This boss fight is a work of fricking art. It’s an actual masterpiece. And don’t even get me started on the music. It’s so beautiful and emotional..
I’ve seen a lot of boss fights, but this might be my new favourite. Not just because of how awesome it looks, but because of Sora and Riku’s friendship. I hope they’ll fight together again in Kingdom Hearts 4.
this Riku's design is WAY BETTER than KH 3's
Obviously dude. Also his keyblade. Now the braveheart looks like a giant dildo stick with no style
Button smashing during that reflect part, I thought I was a god lol
This is one of the hypest final boss battles I have ever seen in videogame history holy shit
3:47 imagine this fight scene being adapted into an anime 😮
Just wait 13 year
3:09 2nd favorite kingdom hearts moment
Which one is number 1 then?
Dude this think ripped my controller back then
Mines always been between that Roxas fight and Lingering Sentiment. Although I'm having a lot more trouble with him on the PS4 version than I did before.
Sends chills down my spine when i play it and watch it
Sayian Ace till this day we still have no answer to your number 1
Naruto and Sasuke vs six sage Madara
Though unlike Sasuke, Riku here was already on his way to losing his edgelord-ness and whatever little dickery his experiences with Ansem hadn't beaten out yet, which would be completely gone by the start of Dream Drop Distance. Riku here is already WAY better a man than Boruto-era Sasuke. But I guess the edgelord-ness, even one admitted by Nomura, to be based on Kain Highwind, is something that's never lived down.
+Mori Jin Except that sora isn't gay and riku isn't an emo fuck.
Splashnuke kh 1 would beg to differ
+shizzle blitzle Okay but still, naruto is gayer lol
Splashnuke kh 258/2 days would beg to differ .lel
i always got hyped when the violin comes in the song, damn
Best final boss in gaming history, hands down
*"yamete"*
okay i believe you
*DARKNESS*
X-blade
I think for KH3 they should do a Sora, Riku, and Kairi fight against Xhehanort
Kanden I'd bust a bit if we somehow got a Sora/Roxas Team up
Eh nah
It would only work if we ever get to see a Kairi moveset.
I think a Sora, Riku, Aqua combo would be better honestly.
add ventus, aqua, roxas, xion, axel and te- oh wait just those guys and that would be awesome ((but too much so each 3 will fight at different times))
Sora Roxas +1
Kingdom hearts is an anime in game form and no one can convince me otherwise.
2:06 You have no idea how long I’ve tried to find an answer to this problem. You’re literally the only one who’s done it. Thank you.
The greatest ending to the Kingdom Hearts Trilogy I could have asked for.
A Gamer I wish xemnas had a suicide attempt move. So when he does that attack he will say “we shall go together” and drag em all into A pit or something
While game have you try different action commands to break free
This is the best boss fight ever in kingdom hearts series
I’m screaming like a lil girl rn watching this damn the nostalgia is gonna make my brain explode
Thank you for showing all the cinematic moments within this fight. Its really sad than none of the other games came close to topping this finale * Cough KH3 Cough *.
You gotta admit his Data Battle was top tier though.
You have to compare the base products. Base kingdom hearts 3 overall did not come close to kingdom hearts 2@@cashewlater5317
@@cashewlater5317agree the data battle was sick tho
I’ve watched this video so many times over the years and it is still my favorite boss fight ever
This is by far my favorite boss fight in any KH game. Music, cinematics, the fight itself, it's top tier. My best friend (with NO knowledge of KH) walked in on me fighting Xemnas, asking about the fight, Sora, and the game as a whole. He watched Sora and Riku deflecting the lasers and said "Shit..that's a power scale you need to see to believe. These guys are badass."
I miss you, Dane.
your battle is as good as a cutscene its perfect
Xemnas asking sora if he can “spare a heart”
Makes me think about Ven now
@1:53
Is that all you got?
Hands down the best villain in the saga. And, he downed peak Riku and Sora single handedly. Its just that in an act of desperation they managed to scrape a win against him. I feel they made Xemnas a jobber in 3D and KH3, since he was retconned back.
Xemnas was supposed to die here never come back
def not peak riku or sora
@@xen3588canon wise, KH2 is peak Sora but not peak Riku as the later got stronger by learning to wield both light and darkness, while Sora got depowered twice.
Heck he spends the entirety of KH3 trying to reclaim his power.
(Plus Riku's left arm is injured during the entirety of KH2, courtesy of Roxas, so it definitely isn't peak him.)
One of the best boss fights of all time
I remember coming back to the game years later maybe in 2012'ish to finally see 0:30 for the first time. Literally never knew Xemnas could do that
I can’t stop coming back to this video. I think I’m obsessed.. it’s just an absolute masterpiece.
Impressive. You are now one of us Keybladers
Playing with Kingdom Key on Critical? You've got style, my friend.
Ian Hammock can you spare a heart?
One of the things I like visually about this fight are the arena and the background, that paired with the music is something I find oddly…calming
I remember the first time I did this fight my heart was beating sooo fast and when I finished it. Straight bliss!!
I love that you did this with the Kingdom Key ... I don't know just seems to fit in this fight
0:30 love this action sequence right here!
I've literally never seen this til today
Fuckkkk, great job!
You were very efficient in all your inputs and command selections
This will go down as one of my all time favorite final boss battles
2:46 - 2:54
*Me :* Okay... Okay... I don't understand anything anymore !
3:11 - 3:43
*Me :* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH !
Cha ra byakugan!
This final fight went DBZ and we loved it.
When I tell you this was the absolute coolest shit I had ever seen when I was 11. I remember turning my controller sideways to better button mash triangle and X for the laser part. I must have played this fight over 100 times
If anyone asks what defines a final boss, show them this video. This is THE greatest final boss fight in all of gaming. Many come close, but this tops everything.
Waay ahead of its time for a PS2 game.
I have been marathoning the Kingdom Hearts games since they came to PC, and the fight against Xemnas was the most hype moment in this series so far. The cinematics during the final phase blew my mind. The fact that this was originally on Ps2 was incredible. It is a technical marvel for the Ps2 and few games can have moments nearly as epic as this boss.
It's the peak of gaming. Was never beat.
Wait they’re on PC?! Are they on Steam???
@@imaghost2961 EGS
Kh3 made a pretty dedicated modding community when that happened.
Now THIS is what I call a True Battle between Light and Dark
It was a battle between existance vs non existance....a battle between realities. Light and Darkness from our world vs Light and Darkness from another quantum reality that doesn't exist. Hence...the world, that never was~
...Wow, it was unreal.
If Sora and Riku don’t get to fight like this again in Kingdom Hearts 4, I’ll cry. Legit, I’ll be absolutely fricking devastated.
Wow am I late but im happy to see that you enjoy this game as much as I do
Kingdom Hearts 2 is one of my all time favorite games :)
InbetweenGamer YES but I cant wait for KH3 NEXT YEAR
I've been waiting over 10 years for it. I hope they don't delay it again lol
InbetweenGamer The reason it took so long because they had to switch to Unreal Engine 4. But Nomura said that if we keep saying there gonna delay it he is actually going to
@@roxas6953 ....ehem.
Xemnas’s voice actor is godlike
Wow that 60 fps *drool*
2:30 One of my favorite quotes in video game history
Iconic, I remember every single moment of this all these years later.
3:52 to 4.14 the fight choreography is just so fucking good
😫😫 my god this fight trumps anything in KH3
This recording goes perfectly. Absolutely seamless. Tells a story in itself.
That's was insane, I loved it
God knows how many time I have replay this part of the game...this scene lives rent free in my mind.. I wanted so many times to be alongside sora and riku
You played very well. Cheers
The fact this came out on the ps2 17 years ago and still looks and PLAYS this good is a testament to just how amazing this game is. People still make combo videos and mods for this game to THIS day and has an active community for it
The fact this was on a PS2 is a technical marvel. All of these cinematic moments and fluid combat must’ve been difficult to program on that console
wow nice job i didn’t seen a youtuber beat him like that before
I swear, the line “We Shall Go Together.” immediately had me bracing for epic combat with Xemnas as a kid. Even now, gives me the chills.
3:27 In this phase, you must rapidly press both Triangle and the attack button.😅
Still one of the coolest boss fights in gaming history, the choreography and spectacle had no business going this hard.
That laser deflection with sora and Riku is epic
4:01 Sora must've said "This one's for you Roxas"
man riku took such a beating in kh 2. his wrist was still injured before he turned into ansem after his fight with roxas. and hew took serious blows from xenmas for sora.
these two have such great character arcs. Going from being secluded on an island fighting each other with wooden swords to taking on a master of darkness launching a barrage of ethereal blade laser beams at you and both are able to deflect every single one and perform combos in sync without a word of communication with each other. Perfect fucking teamwork. Reminds me of Naruto and Sasuke vs Momoshiki in the Boruto Movie.
it is naruto and sasuke...Growing up watching naruto and playing kingdom hearts they are so similar. The dark vs light.
This fight gives me chills man
So awesome
I still remember this fight, especially that moment where he immediately grabs you. “We shall go together.” Oh shi-
that final blow was everything
This fight is great I remember losing my shit as a kid. Excellent job btw this is kickass
These videos just help me realize I was playing Kingdom Hearts all wrong
That was a clean take down. How long did you practice that fight?
