An ex-boyfriend of mine used to play silent hill with me, and he was an obsessive gamer. He told me about this 'Kingdom Hearts' game with Disney meeting Final Fantasy, and it seemed pretty interesting, so I got it along with KHII for my birthday, along with a couple of other games (it was my 16th birthday, so a big present haul!) of all the games I got, Kingdom Hearts was the one I started playing first, and oddly enough I wasn't instantly hooked. It was after I got past Monstro that I really began to get into it, and as soon as I finished KH1 about four months after I got it, I began KHII and completed it in days except for the final boss, because I'm lame whenever I'm Riku.
Most of all, the fact that after being stuck on Demyx and then Xaldin for ages, I managed to defeat Xigbar, Luxord and Saix all within the space of about an hour (I mean, all three of them in the same hour) without any problems whatsoever. Consistency would have been nicer; I expected a huge challenge there!
Other than that, I would have liked to see more of Riku's storyline. Oh, and although Atlantica was cringey and embarassing, I thought it was a nice lighthearted break from the rest of the game. All that killing... sometimes you need a good singalong to cool off XD
Playing as Riku was a bit of a letdown... it's a 30 second gap in which you're left going "I'm sorry, WHAT?!" the first time it happens, and then he dies. I'd have liked to play Riku's storyline a bit, perhaps.
I wasn't too bothered about the lack of Sora/Kairi... I'm not too keen on them getting together anyway (even though it obviously is going to happen). Stupid slashy brain.
I'd love to see them explain about 40+ hours of gameplay plot in under three hours. Final Fantasy: Advent Children is a good example of this. Had I not been watching it with someone who'd played the game beforehand and so could explain half the situations to me, I'd have no idea about half of the plotline behind it all, despite the fact they tried to summarise the plotline of FFVII in the opening sequence.
Last night I actually tried to summarise the events of KH, and although it started out okay, I kept realising I was leaving out vital details that made the plot make sense. By the time I was done... well, I actually gave up, because it just kept on getting longer and longer and longer. Same would go if, say they made a film set after KHIII, because you can't summarise about four videogames in a simple introduction to the whole Kingdom Hearts idea...
Is there a reason loads of the streams have gone down? 'Video no longer available'... did you guys take them down for the revamps or is this YouTube's own doing?
Any battle where I'm being timed. Whenever there's timer in the corner I freak out, and never manage to kill enough of whatever I'm attacking before it runs out.
Stupid Demyx and his stupid... watery stupidness.
(I've spent the last hour trying to get past that fight...)
I have the book that that story comes from. Nasty stuff, I had to put it down once I'd finished and go and do something a little less... sickness inducing.
I like Chuck Palahniuk but the guy tends to repeat his style ad infinatum. Whichever book I'm reading it's just like reading one of his others, so I may as well not bother, if you see what I mean.
When trying to stream some of the videos on this site for Kingdom Hearts (e.g. The World That Never Was) I get a message saying the video is no longer there. I've searched around to see if anyone has mentioned this or given an explanation, but have found none, so wondered if anyone else has noticed the same problem? MY apologies if this has already been dealt with.
Kingdom Hearts is a bit too epic to be squashed into an hour and a half of film. People who hadn't played the games might not really understand what was going on - if you look at the amount of gameplay time you clock, it's usually a lot, lot longer than your average film. Also, remember what happened when they tried to make Silent Hill into a movie? Oish.
Also, to whoever said they should take out the Disney characters... well, that gets rid of... just about the entire thing, really. Especially for the first game. It wouldn't be the same concept at all.
But, now I say that... personally I'd love to see a Kingdom Hearts film!
