Kingdom Hearts

[Omegajak]

KH is one of those games that I've wanted to play, but the absolutely horrible (general) fanbase seriously turns me off because I can never find a non-biased opinion on the series, except for here.

If your not of fan of Disney do not go through those glowing doors my friend. Kingdom Hearts basically captured half it's fan base because they were already fans of a lot of Disney movies. Plus a lot of people have played Final Fantasy games (7-9) so it all kinda tied in for people. If you DO decide to embark on a magical journey only the 'minds' (I use this term loosely) could come up with do so from beginning to end.

KH, KHRe:CoM, KH58/2, KH2, KH:BbS. I'd say this is the best approach. In terms of how much you can enjoy and appreciate. If you can't get past a title then stop.

I just remember thinking Roxas was much better than Sora as a character when I first played KH2 and then being really disappointed that you didn't get to play as him again. Sora just really isn't that great of a character to me.

Really? Because I remember getting to Sora's pod as Roxas and thinking "Thank god!"; however, dual-wielding Roxas was incredibly fun to play as, especially since it was so early in the game. Also, I was so glad the first time I saw some heartless in the game. Nobodies are the worst.

And on the subject of 1 vs. 2, I'd have to say I prefer the overall feel of 1. It had trinities, dalmatian puppies, dodge roll, and just a more lighthearted storyline than 2. Really the only thing 2 had to offer was REACTION COMMANDS, which could have been good had it been properly implemented. It seemed like every fight was just watching a movie clip over and over until your opponent ran out of health.

Another gripe I had with 2 was the new heartless in the game. Their designs were way too cartoony. Also, the new storylines for each world were incredibly uninspired. I liked in the first one where they were all sort of tied together by Malificent's league of Disney villains.

Regardless, both of them are still better than Chain of Memories. That gameplay ugggghhh

Sora is suppose to be a boy who could be any boy, and most young men are bland, and over-eager at least the ones I know.

2 was ALL CINEMATIC ALL THE TIME while 1 wasn't quite enough imo. overall i prefer 1's plot plus the fact that it is actually a challenge.

Well, let's be honest I played for fighting Sephiroth in his KH2 incarnation is harder because he doesn't become random by his last bar. I know cause I fought them both back to back and won both fights just to see if they were copies.
