00:00 You're wrong. I know now, without a doubt, Kingdom Hearts is light!
00:07 Welcome to Mojo Plays and today we are looking into the Phineas Cube to go back to before
00:17 and after the rising of Goliath to the third war of Horencian when Boris and Jorbus grabbed
00:22 the Infinity Cube after escaping from Glinkel prison in the third timeline while opposing
00:27 the events in the sixth timeline to create an alternate dimension where everything is
00:30 the same except Jorbus' mother is his father. This is the 10 Video Game Franchises with
00:36 the most confusing lore.

00:47 Resident Evil
00:55 While the Resident Evil series largely follows a chronological order and most of the games
00:59 can be experienced as singular experiences, its overarching narrative is more intricate
01:04 than it initially appears. Notably, Resident Evil 3 features events occurring both before
01:10 and after Resident Evil 2. As the franchise evolved beyond traditional zombie horror,
01:15 delving into various aspects of the horror genre, the plot expanded and gained complexity.
01:19 Nevertheless, the core focus remained on the Umbrella Corporation and its extensive involvement
01:24 in chemical and biological experimentation, serving as a consistent thread throughout
01:29 the series. The lore of Resident Evil Village dates back to well before any of the games
01:34 and throughout all of the games. It's a nightmare. God I love it.
01:45 Silent Hill
01:54 The complexity of Silent Hill lore stems from its fragmented storytelling, psychological
01:59 depth and symbolic nature. The series employs non-linear narratives and surreal environments
02:04 that blur reality and illusion, and let's not even get started on how unreliable the
02:09 protagonists are. Additionally, each game introduces new elements while revisiting established
02:14 themes, contributing to the overall ambiguity. Symbolism, psychological trauma and supernatural
02:20 elements further complicate understanding. The deliberate ambiguity encourages multiple
02:25 interpretations, fostering speculation and debate among fans. The intricate layers of
02:30 the narrative and symbolism contribute to the enduring mystery and intrigue surrounding
02:34 the Silent Hill series.
02:42 Five Nights at Freddy's
02:59 Five Nights at Freddy's initially presented as basic, with a hidden plot that unfolded,
03:03 but as more games were released, its depth became increasingly apparent over time. With
03:07 the sequel revealing itself as a prequel, fans were taken aback by the extensive ambiguity,
03:12 leading to the ongoing debate about its timeline placement. The series revolves around murderous
03:17 animatronics stemming from a pizzeria chain, engineered by William Afton. Afton's actions
03:22 include covering up a child's bite by killing others, ultimately meeting his demise and
03:26 becoming trapped in a robot body. However, the narrative's reliability is questioned,
03:31 with speculation fuelled by shifting timelines and in-universe fanfiction. Tracking the series'
03:35 chronology proves challenging amidst evolving interpretations.
03:49 The Legend of Zelda
03:50 Originally, The Legend of Zelda didn't aim for narrative connectivity across its games.
04:01 Over time, however, a shift occurred, prompting the establishment of a canonical three-pronged
04:06 timeline, originating from The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. One path depicts the defeat
04:12 of the Hero of Time, while the others portray his triumph, following either the child or
04:16 adult Link. Despite this official timeline, fans persistently debate the placement of
04:21 individual games, particularly the post-apocalyptic Breath of the Wild, adding layers of intrigue
04:26 to the franchise's lore. Crazy to think that some people still think Zelda is the little
04:30 green fella.
04:34 Call of Duty Zombies
04:36 Despite its inception with over-the-top elements like playable real-life politicians, the lore
04:40 of the zombie modes in Call of Duty has maintained continuity. Developer Treyarch has made efforts
04:45 to place each instalment in a timeline through subtle references, resulting in a complex
04:50 narrative that can be challenging to follow. The central antagonist, Richtofen, remains
04:55 a consistent element throughout, but the timeline's clarity is often obscured by its frequent
05:00 jumps across history, leaving players guessing about the specific setting of each zombie
05:03 mode. As someone who still doesn't know when World War 2 took place, I am utterly confused.
05:08 My Roman Empire is the Emperor's New Groove PS1 game, so I'm pretty simple.
05:13 Assassin's Creed
05:21 Assassin's Creed takes place in the past and the present, but not just the past, also the
05:24 past's past and the past's future. That was a confusing way of saying there's a lot of
05:29 past. Again, my white whale.
05:30 Recollections of the past often seem straightforward to structure, yet organising the remaining
05:35 narratives presents a more intricate challenge than anticipated. The modern day segments
05:39 of the games, with their diverse protagonists and the influence of technological and supernatural
05:44 artefacts from the series' lore, can be particularly perplexing to follow. The intertwining of
05:49 these storylines results in a complex through-line that, while not inherently difficult to grasp,
05:54 remains intricate to piece together cohesively. Nier
06:06 Nier Automata is renowned for its intricate narrative, a common trait for games that warrant
06:10 multiple playthroughs. To unlock the full story of this 2017 transhuman epic, players
06:15 must complete the game multiple times to uncover different post-credit revelations. Additionally,
06:20 gamers must consider the original PS3 game, Nier Replicant, which boasts a wealth of lore,
06:24 that enriches the narrative of Automata. Spanning hundreds of years between the original and
06:29 Automata, the games world is steeped in a rich history brimming with countless tales,
06:33 including an untranslated stage play spin-off. Furthermore, the entire Nier series serves as
06:39 the lore for the Drakengard series, Blaze Blue. This one makes my head hurt. The 4 main games
06:54 revolve around Ragnar, an outlaw navigating a fascist society while wielding the Blaze Blue.
06:58 Amid his rebellion against the government, he unearths numerous conspiracies surrounding an
07:02 ancient magic conflict. The narrative complexity escalates with the introduction of clones,
07:07 false identities and the enigmatic Yuki Terumi, resulting in one of the most intricate fighting
07:13 game storylines. Similar to Kingdom Hearts, the series narrative spans across multiple spin-offs
07:17 and an anime. Notably, each playthrough on an arcade cabinet is regarded as canonical,
07:22 contributing to the franchises overarching lore. Can we please just streamline our confusing
07:27 lores? Why do I need 2 consoles, a magazine subscription and a handful of streaming
07:31 services just to follow the story of My Little Pony? Metal Gear. Here's one that I actually
07:43 understand. Go watch my MGS Timeline video, it's great. Metal Gear was destined for a convoluted
07:48 plot from its inception. Initially released on an obscure Japanese PC, the original duology
07:53 underwent significant alterations for its English release, complicating matters for players.
07:57 Transitioning to the Solid series only intensified the confusion, with the sequel,
08:02 Metal Gear Solid 2, proving perplexing despite its devoted fanbase. The subsequent prequel,
08:06 Metal Gear Solid 3, delved into the backstory of the franchise's primary antagonist, yet
08:11 inconsistencies persisted in his actions across the series. Even with Metal Gear Solid 4 attempting
08:17 to tie everything together, players were still left bewildered at times by the intricate narrative
08:22 web. Also, every game is like a damn movie, and Kojima makes every character only speak in
08:27 metaphors. It's insane. Kingdom Hearts. Between the first two games on PS2, you were expected to
08:36 buy a Game Boy Advance just to understand the story with Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories,
08:41 which is just lunacy. But it's not just the amount of games and the spread of platforms
08:46 that contribute to the game's confusion. It genuinely is a deep and intricate story that
08:51 uses some of the more conventionally mind-bending story elements available. Body doubling. Time
08:56 travel. Alternate worlds. It's a mess. Few elements exemplify this series' complexity as
09:02 much as its iconic monsters. The Heartless, born from corrupted hearts, and the counterparts that
09:06 nobodies crafted from their abandoned bodies, initially arose from failed scientific experiments.
09:11 However, subsequent revelations disclosed that these entities were naturally occurring all along.
09:16 These retroactive alterations are commonplace in the series, contributing to its labyrinth
09:22 storyline and notoriously challenging lore to navigate. Did you enjoy this video? Check out
