NiɡɦʇcʘʀəメϸΔЯΔdΙଌe yeah i knew the series was going to continue, but i thought it would be with all new characters. i always told myself that i would be done with kh after 3, but now that ive platinumed it and seen the secret ending im pretty interested in what the next game will be

[@masterxl97]

For the record, most of the KH games aren't really that convoluted. Yes, they're dense and complicated, but if you're paying just a BIT of attention, everything does get explained in time. The only exception, I'll admit, is Dream Drop Distance, which DOES get to the point of being legit confusing. I still only have about an 85% idea of what the villain's plan actually is. Frickin' time travel.

[@retroranger6493]

This is my situation exactly. I love the series and I thought I understood all of it.... and then Dream Drop came out. It basically took everything I thought I knew about Kingdom Hearts and flipped it on its head.

[@JDizzle785]

They are all convoluted except for the first game and the fact that they all pointlessly build on one another and constantly recon the story makes it even more convoluted. They just aren’t well written

[@blockytheblockgod4567]

Most of the explanation of the game happens in a phone game so I mean if you don’t play union X you basically have zero clue on anything happening in kh4 and miss most of what happens during kh3. Miss some plot points in kh2 and 1.

[@DAV-bg9od]

I will say this: despite how complex the story got and the different game elements added and discarded, Kingdom Hearts will forever be my favorite video game series of all time. Even for a kid growing up in the Spectrum, I was engaged with everything going on due to my love with Disney, and I related to Sora’s journey to find his friends, as well as the others that showed up later on. I was excited to see you recomplete this, and it fills me with joy that you love it as much as I do based on your words. I can’t wait to see the New Game Plus episode on KH2FM, and maybe you should suggest that to Beard Bros! P.S. A Mary Poppins world would be pretty neat to even just explore. I think there’s potential there!

Yeah, and I still got my copies of KH1 and 2 to the PS2 but I got the KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX just because of KH3 is coming out and that I am missing some games in the series since I didn't have the money to afford every game when I was a kid.

[@ElizabethBathog]

@@TheRezro I have played a part of BBS but because of my save file keeps getting corrupted on my PSP I got tired of starting it over again all the time and the battery on my PSP is not the best since I have to keep on charging it. I got my PSP second hand so it was old when I got it. So when I finally fund out that they had released KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX for the PS4 I saved up money for the game and got my PS4 by selling my bike. The biggest reason I didn't have the money for the game when it came out and the PS4 was that at the time I was saving money for a trip to Japan that I did last year in May 2018! I so want to go to Japan again so Tales of Vesperia define edition that was released 11 January this year and KH3 will probably be the only games I will be getting this year since I need to save money again if I want to do another trip to Japan. Not being rich make it not easy to be a gamer but saving your money and then finally being able to afford what you want then the reward is totally worth it!

What is your favorite Kingdom Hearts game? Mine is Re Chain of Memories!

[@RinionFilms]

You are the one percent!

[@saxor96]

My favorite is BBS. Re:CoM... Is just boring and endlessly repetitive for me. I would rather watch the cutscenes (they were gorgeous) than replaying it.

[@cliffturbo2146]

Now, I know a lot of KH fans disliked the game because of the card system and I totally understand that, but once you understand the system and has the heart for card games (see what I did there?), then the game can be fun. Especially when the story is getting you hooked. I also feel even more satisfied in every boss battles I win. I have to admit, I died a lot, but that's because I didn't make a good enough card combination around my playthrough. Once I beat the game, I just fell asleep...

[@whoathatsalotofdamage3718]

@@saxor96 I think if the entire game played the way rikus half did, it would be a much better game, soras play through requires a ton of investment in minmaxing your deck and card management, and basically setting up macros on a controller as it is (with the shortcuts) its incredibly rewarding if you get that in to it, but if you just want to play, rikus story integrates the card dynamic in a much more palatable way in my opinion

The story isn't complicated. If you've played them all and, you know, paid attention, you'd understand it. Great video though!

[@mr.battle20]

Here's the thing: most people HAVEN'T played them all, and most people, while they might enjoy KH, aren't rabid enough fans that they consume literally every piece of media associated with it. I remember back when KH2 first came out. I enjoyed the first game and looked forward to 2. When I first started it up, I was completely lost, and wondered what the hell happened in between. It was only then that I discovered the existence of Chain of Memories, a game I had never heard of at the time and virtually no one actually played. Only after a deep dive into a KH wiki did I more or less understand what on earth was going on. This confusion, btw, was from missing a single game. Now imagine what it's like when someone misses 358/2, Birth by Sleep, Re:Coded, Dream Drop Distance, etc. Most normal folk aren't going to invest their time, energy, and money into these games, and stick to the main numbered titles. Hence the confusion.

I'm proud to say I completed the original Kingdom Hearts back in '02! The Final Mix version was not available in the US for some time after that, so I didn't get to fight Hooded Figure Xemnas. But all four of the other secret bosses I managed to take down one at a time. I'll never forget being so shocked at seeing Sephiroth and dying from a single sword slash. 100% completion got me the secret ending. I don't know how many times I went back to beat Ansem just so I could watch and pick apart that teaser. Ah, the pre-KZbin days. I loved traveling around the map and not knowing what world or cast of characters would show up next. In contrast, all of KH3's worlds ended up revealed in trailers, so there was no longer any surprise when you actually got to play the game. I think the game that best captured the wonder of the original was Birth by Sleep. I've enjoyed most of the games (didn't like Dream Drop Distance all that much), but nothing has captured the wonder and excitement of the original. Lightning in a bottle.

[@RPGtourguide]

Kingdom Hearts has become a special series to me. At first, I was one of the skeptics. I read about the game and saw pictures and didn’t get it. Mixing Final Fantasy and Disney? What could they be thinking?! But the more I looked into it and the closer the first game’s release came, I became hyped at the idea. I love the characters and story, be it weird and nonsensical at times. And this is also a game my brother and I played together and bonded over. We can still chat about the original and all our times playing it for hours. I’m getting all nostalgic over here, going to have to replay these games again in the near future. Also, while we’re talking live action movies for Sora to interact with, how about Bedknobs and Broomsticks? It has magical elements, unique locations, and I think we may top the strange-ometer having Sora, Donald and Goofy taking on nazis. :P

[@Ratchetfan321]

I cant wait for all the people who refuse to play any game but KH1 and KH2 to be confused and frustrated they deserve it. Many choosing to be ignorant deserve it.

I played all of the games and the story aren't that hard to follow, but if they just go from KH1 to KH2 to KH3, they will only be left with confusion.

This episode was a complete surprise, and a pleasant one at that! I’m actually doing a 100% myself at the moment, in preparation for the next one, like you! It’s incredible to see such a passion project like kingdom hearts in the spotlight that is modern gaming. I would say that kh2 is my preferred entry in the series but going back, kh1 was more that pleasant. It’s a bit clunky in terms of character strength/movement, especially if you choose to prioritize staff. This series is one to experience all the way through. I wanna thank nomura for such a genuine and beautiful game.
