Got me a "snow day" here in St Landry Parish.

Going to go grab a copy and make the best of it. Will update here throughout the day

Update:. Walmart Eunice did not have it stocked and the stock girls basically told me to f off bc they hate their job and GameStop opens at 10 (plebs)

So I'm d/l from psn, will probably be the same time but this is why brick and mortar fails. Dumb.

I haven’t played any of the others and I’m looking for a new game.

Worth it?

i only played 1. the story is completely retarded, so it doesn't really matter. whoever thought it was a good idea to include critical, main story material in gameboy games with names like "Kingdom Hearts 385 & 6/64ths" needs to be taken out back and shot. I skimmed through a story summary and quit halfway through. it's complete nonsense

It is. But I bought the all on one edition for $99. Probably won’t be disappointed. I have only beat 1 and 2. I’m starting in the order that things happened and I feel like it’s going to hit home when it all said and done.

I'm in a similar boat. Up until December, I had only ever played 1 and 2. I bought the "Story thus far" collection and have been playing the remastered versions on PS4. Not every game is ported and the ones that are not ported are just cut scenes and some text to give you more info about what's happening.

I've gotten through most of it so far. I'm currently on dream drop distance, which was the last full length game. After that one, I have the prologue to KH3 to play and the back cover video to watch.

i almost did the same, but figured I'd get tired of the gameplay after a game or 2. Metro, Sekiro, and DMC5 also coming out in super close proximity.

kingdom hearts 3 has a great memories archive that kind of takes you through all the games. I've only played 1 and 2 and I feel like i have a decent grasp of the story now., also almost made me tear up. played some last night and the combat is awesome. I Can't wait to play more.

The graphics are unreal, looks so good. The music too.

That intro was legit, didn't get too far bc of waiting for the download but I'll be rocking this the rest of the day.

The story does get convoluted in this series but honestly this series is more about exploring legit Disney worlds, which is amazing

The fact that they got Pixar on board is huuuuge

I'm still trying to figure out how the majority of the original Organization XIII got their hearts and names back.

Was that in "Re:Coded"?

Also, it's too bad Leonard Nemoy died. He was OUTSTANDING as the voice of OG Xehanort in Birth By Sleep.

The voice cast is INCREDIBLE as always. They did switch out some voice actors who were either unavailable or died.

Kairi was originally Hayden Pennitierre
Ansem/Xemnas was originally Billy Zane before he was basically fired
Ansem the Wise was originally Christopher Lee
OG Xehanort was originally Leonard Nemoy
R. Lee Ermey was originally Sarge (Toy Story)

They still have the original/current voice actors playing Elsa, Anna, Flynn, Rapunzel, Goethel, Eraqus (Mark Hamill), Sora, Riku, Roxas, Hades, Maleficent, Pete, Goofy, Donald, Mickey, Chip, Dale, all of Big Hero Six except for Wasabi (Khary Payton instead of Damon Wayans Jr.), Aqua (Willa Holland - Thea Queen from Arrow), and all of the Winnie the Pooh cast.

Another thing I noticed, and this is a first for Kingdom Hearts:

Not one single Final Fantasy character is in the game except for a small mention at the beginning

So far? Or is this a proven fact that none appear throughout the whole game?

I was interested, but never played any. If it had a story on its own I probably would have jumped in.

honestly, I haven't played any but 1&2 and those were ages ago, I barely remember anything from them ,yea the main points but those are even faded in my memory.

I just played until the download let me (it stopped me at the end of Olympia, bc I have only 25GB out of 39 downloaded).

You don't need any backstory to follow this game. Yes it would help, but if you just go with the flow there's not much that really helps since there are alternate dimensions/timelines anyway.

Just enjoy the ride, it's fun as hell and the gameplay is legit. Way better than ff15 and I was a huge fan of that game.

If you need the backstory you can poke around the memory vault. You don't really need much and if you do you can dive in there.

I'm really impressed so far, I was iffy about how it was going to turn out bc of how ff15 went.
