Everyone knows I don't care for disney. I am not big on cartoons except for South Park and Family Guy but its that kinda of rauchy humor that cracks me up. I would never keep my kids (when and IF, I ever have any) from Disney of course, it's just never been my kind of thing. I will admit that if it weren't for SQUARE ENIX brining us kingdom hearts, I doubt I would have ever given it a chance in the first place. In fact those Disney fans that own or did own a PS2 before, that missed these games, you missed a great experience. Kingdom Hearts has the Disney Characters at their best and they mingle with Final Fantasy characters. The odd thing is, they took the FF world and made it like Disney, where characters meet from different games, and even Aries, from FF7, who is killed by Sephiroth, makes an appearance. So it's safe to say the FF timeline is broken up and has no meaning here but in all honesty.. The Kingdom Hearts story line is a jumbled mess and we are all wondering where the heck it's going now???
I loved the first two main stories, KH, and KH2. I played birth by sleep(psp) and didn't give a crap for it. This action rpgs are alot of fun, and the battle system is like Final Fantasy and Namco tales had a love child and it was badass. It's straight up run it swinging and throwing spells. You are also backed by Mickey's seconds in command, His Knight, Goofy, and his Mage, Donald. Fighting with these two is just so much fun. You could find yourself kicking the crap out of a huge fat creature and suddenly hear Donalds familiar wail as he charges across the screen on fire because a creature landed a fire spell on him!
What I want is for the series to just go back to Sora, Donald, and Goofy seeking King Mickey and Protecting the universe! That was a fun time and you actually travel to the Disney worlds and live through the films stories, but adding Sora Donald and Goofy into there. So what did you Disney fans miss out on then?
Sora, Donald and Goofy arrive in the Pridelands and help Simba over power Scar and save the pridelands. They arrive in Wonderland to help Alice out through her story. My personal Favs, are Arriving in Halloween town in both games to help Jack out, and also, Arriving in Port Royal to help fight off Barbossa!
So in short, Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts 2 were great games and the only Disney related thing I can get into myself. I really hope Kingdom Hearts 3D (3DS) will return the familiar characters. In fact I'd be happy with less Final Fantasy related stuff but there is one major problem. Disney is very protective of their characters and worlds and do not allow major changes or certain elements. This attributed to why KH story is so jumbled, but there's other aspects that were bad as well.
Here's a great article from IGN about it: Kingdom Hearts sucks, but it doesn't have to
