and this is why:
as of late, I've found my lack of lust for games to be well, disturbing, I don't have that giddy feeling when I unwrap it, I don't even give a care to watch opening credits
EXCEPT for when its a square game of the Final Fantasy or Chrono line. In fact, I recall upon receiving FFX for x-mas, I was actually holding my breath at parts, those experiences, which are few and far apart, are what make me a gamer. And recently, I've been searching for a game to draw me back from wishing to be elsewhere from my house. For while gaming is frowned upon by many as a worthless activity, I find it to be equivalent to say, reading, a cultural enlightenment and mental growth, and do not want to give it up.
So I ask you, oh denziens of Evercrest, is Kingdom Hearts worth it? Will it give me that which I seek, worthy anticipation? Or will Donald and Goofy piss me the fuck off?
Maradon's opinions, while of the status of best friend, will be outright ignored in this thread.

I'm really enjoying it, but it is not as in depth a game as Final Fantasy 10.
My only complaint is that the plot is just a wee bit childish at points, mostly having to do with matters of the heart.
All in all, I'd say this is a decent game, but rent it first.

It's really tough to say, actually... I've been playing Kingdom Hearts for the past almost 2 weeks.I'm really enjoying it, but it is not as in depth a game as Final Fantasy 10.

I should mention I enjoyed the plot to Musashi, which was vastly childish, but FUN
Just be prepared to hate the camera angles and item system. Everything else is pretty damn good.
1. Targetting is apparently a pain in the ass in some places. To the point of throwing your controller in frustration
2. Camera angles need work and sometimes get "stuck"
3. Party mates help themselves to potions and such
4. Something about "Starfox-like scenes of travel where you're going through rings and such"

This is second-hand information, but I've heard of four distinct problems with KH's gameplay1. Targetting is apparently a pain in the ass in some places. To the point of throwing your controller in frustration
one controller met its demise at Tidus' chocobo race thingy...I shall not be getting KH, thank you for your assistance.
If you don't like Donald and Goofy, you can still like Kingdom Hearts. Even though they are your main companions through the game, they aren't the center of attention very much at all.
Plus, Goofy's a badass in combat.
If you liked Musashi, you'll like KH. Similar gameplay.

Mooj painfully thought these words up:
Actually, CBTao, the targetting isn't that bad. Auto-Targetting works about as well as any game will with multiple enemies on the screen. Targetting hasn't been an issue for me, and I'm nearly at the end of the game.
I feel I should mention I despised the n64 Zeldas for their targeting system
But trust me, anyone having trouble targetting in this game shouldn't be playing it in the first place. You don't need target locks to attack or anything, the only real point of locking onto a target is finding one specific enemy in a group, and switching lock ons is as easy as pressing L2.

1) Item system. You can only have so many items in your 'pocket', at a time. IE : 3. So one potion, one ether, and one hi-potion.
In a boss fight, you'll use those up. especially ethers. I chew through those like nothing else.
But once you run out, you have to wait until you're OUT of combat to restock.
Pain. In. The. Ass.
2) I've only run into a couple sticky parts with the camera, but nothing that got me killed.
3) Targetting is fine for me, the only thing I wish is that it would target the first target FOR me. As it is, I touch a button first. Annoying, but acceptable.

But why the hell would you want to specialize in something that requires MP to do? Especially when you've got Donald.
You get PLENTY of of MP later int he game, as well as many more item slots. [ 10-03-2002: Message edited by: Densetsu ]
Musashi was friggin Apocalypse Now compared to Kingdom Hearts [ 10-03-2002: Message edited by: Maradon XP ]

I now respect you 10000x more.
There are a ton of secrets though. If you like secrets then get this. Each of the "Truffel" mobs give out secret items when hit with certain combos or magics. These are pretty fun and required for the Ultima Weapon.
Item Usage, and even Magic usage that isnt "hotkeyed" is a pain in the butt to use during battle. Only 3 magic types can be hotkeyed at a time. Donald and Goofy will deplete your item supply in any given battle.
Things I found interesting:
Collisium battle: Sephiroth(spelling) - He is awesome and it plays the FF7 ending theme song while battling him. He also is in his Half Human/Half Angel form. One hard motha!
Some kid won a contest and got his name on the last character in the Collisium after Sephiroth but he isn't as hard. Pretty neat I guess.
And lastly, I just like the different Keyblade looks.
Oh ya, forgot about Cloud - His new look flat out rocks. [ 10-03-2002: Message edited by: Mojojojo ]

I chose the sword to keep and staff to give up.
And I chew through ethers because HEAL HEAL HEAL *ether* HEAL HEAL HEAL *ether* HEAL HEAL HEAL *ether*
IT'S CUTE AS ALL FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved watching people playing it!
I got all bouncie and stuff!!!
thats what I look for in games!

Mojojojo stopped beating up furries long enough to write:
Stuff
I've beaten all three Coliseum cups and haven't even seen Sephiroth.
And repeatedly hitting X isn't any different than any menu-based RPG, so who cares?
Khyron, are you using YOUR items to heal your OTHER party members? If so, therein lies your problem. Don't bother healing Donald or Goofy, they'll wake up after being down for a few minutes. They eventually learn an ability that lets them recover faster and with full health. Goofy learns this way before Donald, but Goofy's really the only one who needs to be alive in battle anyway, unless you want to summon.
Not ALL the summons are useless, they're just not very useful in boss battles. They can be VERY useful when faced with hordes of enemies.
[edit: Khyron, you made the same choices I did. Honestly though, I've never once equipped an ether, or a hi-potion, lol. Once you get like 5MP and Cura, that will become your main source of healing though. Remember, attacking enemies replenishes your MP.] [ 10-03-2002: Message edited by: Densetsu ]
Your X button will wear out after that hehe!
Oh ya to get the Hades cup you have to Lock all of the Keyholes on all the worlds.
Its fun. Watch out for the Ice Titan! [ 10-03-2002: Message edited by: Mojojojo ]
