No wonder why my parents always said they’re poor. It’s because they kept buying me a new Nintendo Console. Heh

Honestly the most surprising thing in this post is how little yen dealt with inflation over time. I know it’s 2019 vs post-COVID numbers, but still… Most of the currencies on there had ~75-100% inflation, while Yen is at like 4%.

As someone who doesn’t play on consoles, the first time I encountered Kingdom Hearts, I thought this was a satirical piece. As if the gaming site made up a fake game. Goofy, Donald Duck and the Final Fantasy fellow together sounded like a teen fanfic.

No disrespect intended. I am genuinely happy if KH brings entertainment to people. Just sharing my literal “first impression”.

Same. And then when I believed it was real, I still thought it was some throwaway game, because that’s not just a gimmick, it’s a silly one.

I agree that if its fun for people, have fun, but I never could take the game seriously while a bunch of anime characters and freaking Goofy. Couldn’t get into the story.

It was weird when it was originally announced. It’s even weird today. But the weirdest part about the entire series is that it’s actually really fucking entertaining. There’s a reason so many teenaged nerds in the late 2000’s and early 2010’s adopted KH2 as their entire personality.

I liked it. I played all of KH last year from August until December, I played them for my first time ever, in release order on the original consoles, even watched walkthroughs of the phone games on YouTube.

This one was interesting. While it’s important to understand the story from 1 to 2, the graphics for the GBA were amazing. This game even has FMVs. Gameplay wise it‘s a strategic but hectic card game. Is the remake better? Maybe, I’ll play them all again once KH4 has a release date on PS5.

Story wise it’s the first game, but different. I liked it.

I think the remake has better controls. Like just pressing triangle to add to a sleight for example. But the 3d playing field can make using them sleights a bit more awkward than on the GBA.

I hated the existence of this game. Loved KH1 and excited to play KH2 only to not understand anything that’s going on. No idea there was an in between game on an entirely different console, not even a Sony console. Very frustrating as a kid.
