    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”.

      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.

      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.
