Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix is what many like to call the 'Directors Cut/Royal Edition' for Kingdom Hearts 1. The version I am playing here however is the original HD re-release of the 2003 Final Mix Game which released in March of 2014 for the Playstation 3. This version incldues quality of life changes such as cutscene skips, analog camera controls & other small details.


I use the Japanese version for the run due to the text speed being 1 minute faster than the English Version, however roughly equals out to 20-30s faster due to an exclusive clip which exists in the English Port.

This run is the peak in my 7 year speedrun career, this was the game that started my whole speedrun journey and to finish the journey at the top means the world to me, I owe so much to this game and I am honoured to represent as one of the games best.

The run was very unique for my playstyle, I am known for flying ahead of most runners in the first 2/3 of the game and then falling behind in the final act. However this run played out differently I played okay for the most part but was most proud of how much I clutched Final Fights (which is a rare thing for me to do).

To quickly detail the run
Early Game: Overall amazing but could techincally improve it by 10s
Mid Game: Very rough in places, had a horrible Agrabah but a perfect Neverland
End Game: Hollow Bastion 1 was horrible due to poor execution on Riku 1 & a dropped input on Maleficent, everything else after that was solid

I believe this game can definitely be pushed down to a 2:42 and might consider going for that goal in the future but for now I will focus my attention on the PC release & PS4 Port.
