ALL MAIN STORY CUTSCENES (With Explanations, No Fillers) - Kingdom Hearts Union χ[Cross]

Man, this took a whole week. At first, I meant to do just a plain compilation of the Daybreak Town cutscenes, but I soon realized that this game does need someone explaining the meaning of some major plot points after some cutscenes, otherwise you won't be able to understand most of it—especially if you're not familiar with this game.
That's why I added some information boxes at the beginning and throughout this video, so I could hopefully give you a better comprehension of what turned out to be the most interesting story out of all the Kingdom Hearts titles so far.

This video only contains the cutscenes related to the main plot, excluding battles and the filler episodes from game events and Disney worlds. Yes, the events happening in the Disney worlds do help our Player get some inner development, but they're minimal and they are not related to the actual main storyline—except for Wreck-it Ralph's world, which has been briefly summed up here.

Petition to make "Everglow" the canon name for the Keyblade wielder of KHUX. Just please, Everglow deserves it so damn much.

[nearmart]

We're all Xehanorts, but Everglow is the Nortiest of the Norts among us. Everybody say "Thank you Everglow!"

[kogatenebralux]

The fact that Everglow changed outfits and hairstyles to his avatar in the cutscenes to have an impression of coherence and of passing time ... it's just hugely awesome !

*R E S P E C T T O E V E R G L O W*

[kiritosoloplayer]

That’s ever glow for ya you he never stops lighting people’s way back to the light of the plot !!

[MrTobi]

When the new game drops, I'm still gonna call the protagonist Everglow. He has earned his place in history.

[Lungkisser]

When Luxu-Xigbar said "I hope you like long stories, " I imagine this is the story. (Thank you, Everglow.)

[myweirdshears]

POV: you’re in your twenties on your official adult replay of the whole series, the only games you haven’t played are the phone ones and this hero right here prevents you from having to play the phone game in real time so you can still absorb the content even though you weren’t well off enough to play the games when they came out (no phone)
Us kid who were poor and grew up with no time really appreciate your work 🥺🖤

[EChacon]

Just imagine seeing the cutscenes and the gameplay of Union χ in the Unreal Engine and with voiceover included.

Regardless if it becomes a cutscene movie or a full console game, I think Union χ needs to be remade as _Re: Union χ_ for consoles since most of us don't bother playing the app game when it launched and it would be a missed opportunity to have the story and the game be ONLY exclusive via the app.

[jinx]

The fact that without the filler it’s still this long makes me concerned

[manonloulergue]

A bit late but because someone pointed that out, Brain is crying when he saw the statue of Ephemer, that's cute 🥺

[BranJohn]

Everglow is truly the goat of the KHUX fandom

Idk what anyone says, he's the canon Xehanort

[matthewwood]

1:43:26 “Basically, when you do story quests in Union x[Cross], you’re actually re-experiencing in an alternate reality the same journey our player already lived in the real world in x[chi] for PC.”

This has got to be the most Kingdom Hearts sentence I ever read 😂

[EmeraldBlade]

Everglow you are literally no exaggeration, the most important person in the kingdom hearts fandom/ community

[yulia_kana]

A week well spent, man. This is another huge project you've contributed for the community. You should get a trophy for everything you've done thus far.

[ZionsWorld]

Thank. You. So. Much.

I literally have no time to invest in this game, no interest in grinding and relying on gacha for months on end... and you went the extra mile for those who are completely out of the loop when it comes to the mobile game's major plot during the infamous Keyblade War and the events taking place after it transpired.

We don't deserve you, dood. Thank you so much for this compilation. I might need to watch it in spurts, but I am definitely looking forward to finally understanding the truth of it all

[manegirl]

I'm here from your KH Timeline series, which I decided to look up the series recently because I was curious if it really was crazy, ridiculous, hammy storytelling as people said it was. Right now, there's not much silliness so far, but I *AM* oddly invested in this! I only stopped at the moment BBS happened in the Timeline series because I knew that the plot of [chi] just couldn't have ended there, so I went searching for your full run instead, and while that's also nice and helpful in knowing the context of the Disney world montages in Timeline (which are very nicely made and set to beautiful music), it's a long playlist and I'm more invested in the story being told here than there (which, AFAICT, is just "Darkness is invading the Lands of Disney, trying to destroy and intrude on their stories! It's your job to stop them!"). And yes, as others have said, it's a nice touch that you're changing up your outfit as the story progresses as a way to imply time is passing.

[jacobglancy]

Perhaps Luxu betrayed the Master of Masters when he helped a Union Leader: giving Brain a coat to ward off darkness and sending him through a Dark Corridor...?

When experienced like this, it is quite possibly my favorite KH story. Thank you Everglow for your hard work!

[wingeddragon]

finally got around to watching this and my GOD, IT'S AN ABSOLUTE SO many things make so much sense now -- love that you changed the Player's outfit to show the passage of time, it made it so much easier to keep up with things within the timeline and this is SO extremely well edited, i kept forgetting that its not an official video from squeenix themselves! thank you SO much for this! its quite possibly the most important video in the entirety of the franchise

[BaulSDA]

No filler, five and a half hours.
This is fine.
