What do you all think about Kingdom Hearts? Also, do you think that the new GBA Kingdom Hearts game, Chain of Memories, would be a good introduction to the series when it comes out? I just wanted to know because I wanted to get Kingdom Hearts, but I only have a PSone.

I am not sure, but I think you should get the one for PS2 first. It introduces you to the beginning of the story and the main characters, so I think it would be better to get to know the PS2 first.
I think it is a great game, it's even better if you spend your childhood watching Disney films and now you are spending your teen age playing FF games.
The game play is good and the graphics and music are great. It is a highly recommended game, but if you can't stand Disney characters, then, you won't enjoy it completely, since Disney references are all over the game.
Also, it has Final Fantasy things like the spells ( Fire, Fira, Firaga, Stop, Cure, Blizzard, Cure, etc. ) and some NPC ( Cloud, Aeris, Yuffie, Squall, etc.)
The battle system is easy to understand. You only control Sora ( the main character) while the others are computer controled. Even with that, I find them very smart.
Also, there are some mini games and shooting sequences ( on an airship ).
The voice acting is good ( I just love Donald's voice acting ).

I give it a 9 / 10. Some parts were kind of confusing ( specially the sequence in the ocean ) but it was a great game. Highly recommendable. I bought my PS2 just to play this game n_n

Enrique, if u like Donald's voice acting, you should hear Goofy in japanese.

KH is a good game, I highly do reeccomned it, then after U beat it get KH:COM (I think it is coming out in December), but KH is a very fun game.

Kindom Hearts was pretty fun at first, but took forever and bored the crap outta me at the end.

I liked it alot, but I still haven't gone to Kill

Possible spoilers: highlight to view

Riku

yet, so needless to say, I haven't beaten it yet. Maybe I'll pick the console back up and finish it before the second one comes out.

I thought kingdom hearts was fun but I think they shouldnt make Kingdom Hearts 2 or a GBA game.

I love kh. as you can she by my name it is just so much fun how Disney and enix it was awesome

Has anyone played kingdom hearts?

--------------------

In the begining their was nothing... then god said "let their be light".... and it was good.

Ive beaten both KH and KH CoM


theyre pretty good.....i guess....it gets boring tho

--------------------

Aujourdhui a commence avec toi.

In the begining their was nothing... then god said "let their be light".... and it was good.

Kingdom Hearts has a really cute story (if you can get off the first island without falling asleep), and the battle is entertaining...mostly. It has a few camera angle and AI issues, but, overall, I thought it was fun.

From what I understand, KH, KH:CoM and KH2 form a story arc in that order, so I think you'd want to start at the beginning.

--------------------

Veni, vidi, dormivi.

Well, aside from a few bad camera angles, the Gameplay/Battle system was pretty good (reminded me somewhat of Star Ocean 2). However, the story IMO sucked, the voice of Sora was pretty annoying, and the characters from both Franchises were poorly interpreted. Allow me to rant on the third one:
Cloud gets stepped on by Cerberus, he's more of a badass than that

Mickey a... ninja? Even though Ninjas are cool, it just doesn't suit Mickey

Lets face it, Goofy probably shouldn't be one of the main fighting characters... Though i'd be cool if Donald was a tank or something, and he went into some sort of Berserk mode

Though, I like the name Leon better than Squall, I think it suits him better.

Overall, the game needed a "few" tweaks

I never miss a opportunity to badmouth this game.

I think it was smoke and mirrors... the smoke being the hype of "teh best roleplay series in teh world combined with teh best animation company in teh history is making a game!!!!!"..... and the mirrors being the nice graphics and eye candy the game contained.

The game was crap, in my opinion. From the biggest flaw (the concept) to how the game operated. A thorough disappointment.... one of which I am not looking forward to the sequel.

Mickey isn't a ninja. He just sports a Keyblade like Sora.

Anyhoo, I've beaten KH and am currently working on CoM right now (I'm near the end, I believe) and should have it finished by the time KH2 comes out.

Do any of you know when KH2 comes out, btw?

I haven't played it yet, but it looks awsome and I want a PS2 soon to play that and KHII. The new info for the game, like the fusing, organization, and the "Steamboat Willie" and "Pirates of th Carribiean" levels make me really want that game. The Tron level, not so much. But hey, it could work.

Dec. in Japan, Spring in America. Don't know for Europe. Go to the KHII from wikiwiki thread for a lot of KHII info.

Dead Winter. A nice comic.

Release Date: Mar 1, 2006 America
Europe date wasn't release last time i checked...
Kind of an odd release date in my mind

Mickey's not a ninja? I've been severely misinformed...

the "Steamboat Willie" and "Pirates of th Carribiean" levels

Now THAT sounds interesting, the Steamboat Willie level. Maybe I'll rent it... seriously.

The road to Stupid is paved with good intentions.

KH was a good game, only complaint was the camera and was kinda easy, at least KH2 is coming out soon

I thought KH was a very solid game, one I enjoyed quite a bit. I'm one of those people who just doesn't understand how someone can DISLIKE Disney (and by that I mean their older work, not their relatively new case of sequelitis), so obviously that didn't turn me away. Since the FF characters weren't why I bought the game, I didn't really mind the fact that they didn't serve very large roles. The gameplay was a little button-mashy, but still employed a fair bit of strategy into its combat, and the genius that thought of menu-based commands in real-time should be given a muffin, since the odd combination actually ended up ridding the game of the "OMG which button does which?" confusion that surrounds many action RPGs that have many different attacks. The camera wasn't really as bad as most critics say it is, but it needed work.

The production values were high, and the result was fantastic. The story, while simplistic, breached upon some rather intriguing themes that will probably be explored further in KH2, and the three main characters (I mean Sora, Riku, and Kairi. Goofy and Donald don't count) were interesting and had realistic motivations.

The main goof that I had is that it often felt somehow "fake," like the Alice in Wonderland world (except that world was SUPPOSED to seem fake), where it seemed (most noticably in Agrabah) that you were merely running around in a big box that LOOKED like a location, instead of actually being immersed in a virtual invironment. Were it not for this "boxed-in" feel, this would be one of my favorite games.

However, I'm pretty sure that KH2 WILL be one of my favorite games, mainly because I was so interested in the themes presented in KH and CoM (which I didn't play...) like the Heart, Memories, and the three "planes of existence" (Light, Dark, and Twilight). Most notably the nonexistants. It seems like it might go a little overboard though... whatever. I'm eagerly anticipating its release.

ICO-You were there-

i got the game for christmas, after having to watch my friends try and fail miserably to kill sephiroth

i wonder if the aristocats will be in a future one? such adorable kitties...

overall, i think the game is very fun, with a great story to go. (then again, i dont like to critisize anything, so...)

plus, vivi and setzer will be in the second one!!! yay!!

although now i know the dissapointing real pronunciations of "tidus" and "yuffie"...

I couldn't get into KH because of the Disney theme. I have been told, by many people, that this is one of the greatest RPG/Adventure games ever made, and that I have to get past the Disney theme and play it because it's awesome. Despite the fact that I respect the gaming opinions of most of these people, I still find it hard to get past Donald and Goofy joining your party. There is also the fact that one of the most badassest characters of all time, Sephiroth, is voiced by Lance Bass of N'Sync. That is just plain wrong. They should have sent him into space before this became possible.

But I think I'll give KH a second chance. I know the new one just came out in Japan, and supposedly it is also getting rave reviews. Before it reaches American shores I might go back and revisit KH1, as I've now heard great things about both games.

luckily LB doesnt really talk...other than calling out the names of his attacks and yelling.

wow i thought i had made posts in every KH thread on here guess i missed one kingdom hearts is my all time favorite game i got hooked when went to my brothers and he's like "ya you got to check out this really trippy opening FMV" and i was like lmao and i bought a gameboy and Chain of Memories the first week it came out i had it beaten within 72 hours of when i bought it and as it stands i'm maxing out my games (getting all cards/techs for sora mode and maxed out money and maxed out lvl) and ya it's just awesome playing that game although you really won't miss anything much if you don't play it.... there are some things of importance in it but not too much.... besides the endings for both riku and sora mode are kinda recapped in the opening video for KH2. and i really really can't wait for it to come out in North America

Woah! Light, Dark, and Twilight? Sounds a little like Chrono Cross... I had no idea that Christy Carlson Romano played the voice of Yuffie... total mindblow. Kingdom Hearts looked like crap 2 years ago when I had seen the review on Disney Channel. I tried it at my friends and loved it instantly, I can't wait for KH2, as I've beaten both games. I also have heard you go back to Twilight Town, The Underworld, and King Mickey is on your party. And you get to fight alongside Auron from FFX!!! awexome!
