    Kingdom Hearts. Goofy and Sephiroth in the same room together breaks my brain, and not in a fun way. I played the first game when it came out on PS2 and decided it wasn’t for me.

    I’ve seen story breakdowns of the other games on YouTube and figured I’m not missing anything. Lots of setups and plot hooks that don’t go anywhere or go somewhere stupid.

      That’s the appeal of the game. These characters having protracted discussions about existentialism, the nature of free will, and death, and Goofy’s just there going “Gawrsh, Sora!”

        That’s the appeal of the game.

        Except KH2 and 3 have genuinely good action gameplay. Like, so good some people rank it alongside Devil May Cry and shit.

      Your take is entirely accurate but I still love this game. I couldn’t even tell you why. Maybe it’s nostalgia.

        Disney is popular. Final Fantasy is popular. Put them together and apparently you get something that sells, but for me the concept is less like chocolate and peanut butter and more like peanut butter and pickles.
