Breaking News: Kingdom Hearts is Good
I set out to make a pretty good-sized post about my thoughts on my KH replay experience. Y'know, just, the usual generous mountain of text you see from me.
It has become much more than that.
I'm at around 3k words and I'm not even halfway done.
So I think I'm gonna have to make this a Patrons-only thing.
Not that my Patrons particularly WANT to read such a behemoth... *laughs nervously in Phoenix and Chris' direction*
But this is my policy these days, and something I'm trying to get into the habit of.
IF you have no interest in becoming a Patron, but still want to hear my thoughts on the game... I'll give you an abridged version of the paid experience:
I THOUGHT this game rox my sox when I was a teenager??? Replaying it at 40 with much more gaming competence ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kingdom Hearts on PS2 peak experience. Magical. Spiritual. Transformative.
Thank gods for Hironobu Sakaguchi.
Also, insert rant about how much modern KH sucks, KHIII broke my heart, beat me to a pulp in a back alley, stole my car, and spit on me, prequels ruin everything, square peg round hole, etc. etc. etc.
BUT KINGDOM HEARTS 1 IS A MASTERPIECE AND I LOVE IT!!!
Also, stop saying Kairi has no personality or I will break your kneecaps, go back and replay the old games 'cause SHE IS A THREE-DIMENSIONAL CHARACTER AND IT'S PLAINLY EVIDENT, IT'S NOT HER FAULT NOMURA IS AFRAID OF WOMEN, IN THIS ESSAY I WILL-
But yeah the worlds are so amazing and the characters and the music and here are some awesome ideas about how awesome KHIII could've been if it came out in the late 2000s / early 2010s instead of being sidelined by prequel bullshit!
...That's basically the experience so far 🤣 I hope you enjoyed that!
No, sorry, you don't get my better-KHIII-ideas for free. Talk about a Patrons-only perk! lmao (I have SO MUCH to offer! SO MUCH! 🤣 )
I will continue slowly working on this huge mountain range of text while I'm visiting at my mom's house. Expect it in a week or so!
And thanks for reading literally any of this! <3
