My biggest surprise was how I felt about Birth By Sleep. I've heard for years about all the issues that game has, and yeah I agree with most of the complaints, but it shockingly also REALLY clicked for me. I don't know, something about it's breakable and bite sized nature worked for me.

Honestly have no clue how the hell to approach Dark Road. Might wait until there is a fan dub like the one for Union X.

Also, fuck the credits of Re: Chain of Memories for spoiling to my friend who Ansem and DiZ actually were. I was so excited for my friends reaction to those reveals in KH2 and ReCOMs credits fucking ruined that.

We just finished watching the cutscenes for Chain of Memories, since I didn't want to make her watch me playthrough that whole game just for the story. I counted 114 times the word darkness was said in Reverse Rebirth alone. We're starting KH2 tomorrow, and it's my first time with Final Mix yay!
