No, seriously. This game is cinematic, and is undoubtedly the example RPG’s of this era should strive to be. It has some of my favourite turn based combat mechanics, an incredible soundtrack, tons of content I barely saw by the end, and a story that is actually masterfully told.

Ugh…I want to love this game, but everything I enjoy is muddled by heaps of things I don’t. I love the gameplay at its best, but it barely lets you enjoy it. And no, ReMind doesn’t “fix” everything. It’s kinda bad too honestly.
For all that’s holy…get you act together for KH4…please.

It’s alright. Works as a half decade old demo for an upcoming game, suffers as a standalone experience. It brings back most mechanics from KH2 which I like, but the magic feels a bit weird here and it certainly has some jank from being a work in progress sort of game.
Still, not bad. Only KH3 left.

This game’s demo was what made kid me want to play Kingdom Hearts.
Now, as an adult…I kinda love and hate it. This game has the best worlds in the series so far with really fun unique mechanics for each…but the actual design is cool but heavily flawed. Mostly cause of the command deck.

Start of the Command Deck trilogy and probably the…third best of them. It may not’ve annoyed me as much as DDD, but it’s a very rough first try and made a lot of weird decisions that made it just feel way worse than most other entries.
Still, decent story and I did enjoy it for a while at least.

Peak Fiction.
Yeah, this game was a blast and I’m still looking to do the rest of its content! This game is just as amazing as many say it is and, while having a few annoying parts, none at all detracted from how great this game is and I can see myself replaying it in the future!

Played the GBA version for a bit and swapped to the PS2 version for the rest.
Albeit, I didn’t beat this one cause it did just get a bit too difficult to where I just became less interested rapidly in the gameplay. Hope to still try and beat it someday cause I did enjoy it for the most part.

Catching up on reviews, mainly for my first ever KH Marathon!
This was my first time playing the OG and it holds up great!
…in most ways. Some boss fights just suck and enemy design could be flat out annoying later on. Still enjoyed it a ton nonetheless!

I found this manual recently and my friend reacted to it in a similar way.

I’ve seen this character a lot and I’m not gonna lie…
ZZZ feels tempting just to see more of her. She’s doing things to me.

Star Successor has Isa use a very similar gun, but likely a more advanced model that can freely switch between a more compact gun mode and the blade mode seen in the original design.

The Dolphin Gun is such a funny yet functionally cool fictional gun. You just have this rapid fire energy pistol with a big energy sword you can whip out to slice through any who come close!

Forgot to post this. I’m trying to practice some anatomy to get the fundamentals down and I did this with one of my bases I copied.

I got a drawing tablet and did this pretty rough sketch to practice with it.
Wonder how long till I can make something half decent.

Cried.
Simple game, but it does exactly what it needs to. Also beautiful as I’d expect from Taisuke Kanasaki. Give it a look if you want something with heart.

Yeah, this is peak. Honestly, issues are extremely minor and I feel the only people who actually care deeply about them need to learn to relax and enjoy shit. It deserves your time greatly and I’m aiming for 100%!
Rare example of a $70 game I could actually see being worth that amount.

While I haven’t gotten every ending, I can firmly say this game is a huge step up from the first, being a good sequel for those who played 4 but also a fine enough starting point if you don’t see any appeal in 4.
But I recommend both to see the full progression of the story.
