kingdom hearts...whatever one

[riderkid]

ok with the new DS game coming out in sept and supposedly a new PSP game in the next year or so, what are everyones thoughts on the franchise no one thought would get this much of a fanbase

[JcFFx]

Original: I liked the nostalgia I got for it.

KHCOM: I like the card game aspect of it, I just didn't like how so many awesome moments would be ruined by a 0.

KH2: I liked the story and action more. I found Sora's script and acting awkward because HJO hit puberty (should've stuck with a more stable voice actor). I disliked how 75% of the game was essentially "button mash Triangle"

KHCOM(PS2): Kay, fuck going through the story again.

That new DS one: Um yeah.... no thanks.

That new PSP one: ...Maybe.

Well I really like Kingdom Hearts and from the little clips I saw from Nintendo's conference, 358/2 Days seems to be an actual return to the frantic fighting of KHI and II, which is cool. As for Birth by Sleep, I don't know too much about it but I'm really hoping it's good (I have faith in Squenix to do it right. )

I really like KH's boys... and story and all, I like the stetic

I hate it. I really, really, really hate it. ^^

I remember the original game came out when I was in 6th grade, and even then I was like "ehh...Disney characters? Really?" It looked just a bit gay. But I'm glad I bought the game...because it fucking rocked. Final Fantasy + Disney = MAGIC. This is a great example of a random match-up of universes working out wonderfully. KH2 was not as good as KH1, in my opinion...the whole 'Nobodies' thing got a bit annoying, and I wasn't much of a Roxas fan either, but it was still a fun game.

I shiver when I think about what Kingdom Hearts 3 could look like on current-gen systems. Aside from that, KH2 had a cliffhanger ending and it definitely looks like a sequel is in the future...hopefully. I also hope the full cast returns...Sora, Kairi, Riku, Donald, Goofy, Mickey...all of them. Although, Haley Joel Osment(voice of Sora) should probably be well on his way to a couple DUI's now, no? Isn't that how it works for child stars?

Gameplay sucks I hit you, you hit me bored me to death in ff7 so i've never bothered playing any other game like it, I much prefer the Dirge of Cerberus style.

I hate it. I really, really, really hate it. ^^

Same here actually, I cannot fathom the epic amounts of Ho Yay in that series.

Did you even play Kingdom Hearts? Because I'm pretty sure the battle system is NOTHING like FF7. The only thing Kingdom Hearts has in common with Final Fantasy gameplay-wise is the leveling up elements of an RPG.

[A-J]

I only played it for the Final Fantasy characters ..

Mickey kicked so much ass in KH2. BTW, here's the secret ending to KH2 for those who aren't too busy hating on the series:

No I just guessed it used the same battle menu system.
I used play games like Night Trap back in the day along with them games that you played rewinding and fast-forwarding a VHS as well them adventure books where you turn the pages back and forth.
I miss Knightmare http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knightmare they should bring that back.

[Darkmoon]

I keep seeing the whole series of Knightmare listed on E-bay and wonder if I should get it...for my kids, of course.

I enjoyed the first and second Kingdom Hearts. I will admit I would have prefered a higher Final Fantasy to Disney ration but the story was fun and had some nice surprise moments. The Gameplay is simple as hell, but that's not a bad thing automatically.

I haven't played Chain of Memories, and until recently had no idea these two games were comming out. I might take a look and see if they look decent but I'm not a huge fan of hand held games.
