The original Kingdom Hearts is a childhood classic of mine. Its creative fusion of Disney and Square Enix characters, combined with its action RPG gameplay blew my mind when it first came out as it was something I could never have dreamed of before. At 22 years old, its age is apparent in more ways than one, but the amount of heart and charm it has makes it nothing short of timeless.

The best part about this was the whole villains coming together bit. When I first played this, in 2002, I was caught by surprise on the villains. I could tell who they all were, but it was still exciting to see.

@TheComfySpotVids 3 месяца назад

The villain council was something I know I enjoyed as a kid, but didn’t think much of as I got older and replayed the game a couple times. This was the first playthrough where I really went “Wait, this was actually really cool!”

@dominick9130 3 месяца назад

This reminds me so much of my first playthrough. You get just as hyped as I was, when I saw all these little rooms in each world. It was like every time I found one, I’d celebrate in my head. Just the little things the game lets you do ie: The lights, useless but cool rooms, wack world design, trinitys. I put so many more hours into KH1 than any other KH game just because I can vibe out in the little rooms.

@ItsAmandaBruhh 3 месяца назад

Dude, i feel the same way! I loved interacting with the world and exploring. I did more exploring in kh1 than any other kh game. It had so many secrets and had you as the player figure it out

@spookydoofus4526 3 месяца назад

I still think kh1 is the best in the series. Dont get me wrong I think kh2 is better mechanically in terms of combat. But kh1 has a far better sense of exploration and charm that the rest of the series seems to lack. Kh2 has better combat but kh1 is more memorable.

@TheComfySpotVids 3 месяца назад

Yeah there are some things that KH1 does that I’d say are better than in KH2, but I wouldn’t say it’s my favorite. It’s always been a top three entry for me, and replaying it for this series certainly made me more fond of it.

@brandonloaiza8595 3 месяца назад

I remember my brother giving me his copy of KH1 and replaying it as a 29 year old and still crying at the end when my girlfriend was watching, such a beautiful game. Ive only played one and 2 though, theres too many games to keep up with if you arent a hardcore gamer

@TheComfySpotVids 3 месяца назад

The endings for KH1 and KH2 still get me emotional to this day. I don’t always cry but I do tear up sometimes. They’re both great!

I actually just finished the game yesterday, after only having played KH2 for 16 years. You highlighted many things very well, it was interesting to see how they experimented back then. At one point I looked up a guide because I never ever would have used thunder on the broken cable in Traverse Town lol, it was so strange to me. Also I agree I would have liked to see more refined platforming, but in the end they seemed to have made the best choices on what to refine in KH2 I feel. Cool video!

@SavithTV 3 месяца назад

I never got to play Kingdom Hearts as I didn't have a PS2 growing up and am gonna finally get around to doing it. I keep seeing content like this but afraid to watch it all the way through cause I've more or less stayed in the dark about all of the games. Thanks for the video, I'll come back to this

@TheComfySpotVids 3 месяца назад

You’re in for a ride when you do eventually play! I hope you enjoy it when you do and thanks for the well wishes! I’ll definitely be talking story spoilers in future parts of the series, so if you want to avoid them it’d be best to come back when you’ve played through the series.

Kh3, has by far the most exploration. I LOVE 3. I have so much nostalgia for the others, but 3, other than difficulty to an extent, is by far the best game. As far as being the most well rounded.

@TheComfySpotVids 2 месяца назад

I’ve always felt the same way! We’ll see if those thoughts are still the same when I get to KH3 later this year.

@Snaaake_Beater 3 месяца назад

just playing the series for the first time and finished 1. What an amazing game but i really wish i had played it on easy mode because i hate grinding and some bosses were very hard and in the end its way to long. Also its sooooo hard to know where to go without youtube. Ive wasted like 3 hours in the playthrough just to figure out where to go

@TheComfySpotVids 3 месяца назад

Playing as a kid on the PS2 was a bit of a doozy, even with the strategy guide lol. I had to use cheats to beat the final boss, but I still had a blast.

@MrScaryPasta 3 месяца назад

Funny thing, I never played KH at all, even as a kid I never knew of its existence. I was a huge PS2 buff, but rarely ever got my hands on the good games. I had some of the PlayStation Greatest Hits collections like the Jak and Daxter Trilogy, God Of War, Godzilla Save The Earth, PAC Man World 3, etc. Had I known of this games existence, I most likely would’ve become a true KH buff. Sadly I’m a little late to that party. But as they say, “Better late than never.” I have almost caught up with the entire octology. I’ve played KHUX, KHDR, KH, KH COM, KH Days, KH 2, KH RC, and KH DDD. I’ve yet to finish KH Days and RC. I’ve also yet to play KH III and ML. I love this franchise and all it represents. It’s a nice message about love, friendship, and trust. The game teaches us to face our fears and battle our inner demons, while accepting that they are a part of us. It teaches us that the love and memories we share with each other give us the strength we need during the dark times. The heart is truly a powerful thing and it’s how you use that power that makes who you become.

@servantbyday 3 месяца назад

Yeah that would be a perfect blend as the subtle details and interactions in KH1 were missed in two and the combat mechanics were greatly improved upon in KH2. Totally agree with you! :)

@why97359 3 месяца назад

Kh2 has better fighting if you just like to mash X and do physical combos, definitely flashy with the drive forms.... but. KH1 magic is amazing and totally broken, like BROKEN, it's so good but this video didn't even touch on that 🤷‍♂️

@davidlowery2294 3 месяца назад

Kh2 might be the best in the series but there is just somthing soooo special about kh1 they just go so much right the simple yet complex level designs, I love that in some worlds you interact with the environment and things change disnt really do much its just a cool thing youncan do and of course Billy F*cking Zane as the big bad is amazing "I mean I could listen to him read the phonebook just sayjn" anyine who is fan of the series this game still holds up great.

@civilwarfare101 3 месяца назад

Going to be honest and say that I'm not really big on this series, it's in large part because I never grew up playing these games. I get that, usually anything that suffers from "Seinfield is Unfunny" will have that effect. I feel like I would like KH as a franchise more if I played them as a kid and had that childhood attachment. With all that said however, you got me curious on KH1's level design, I actually like the idea of games with backtracking with no maps, and very little handholding, I have played a number of games with backtracking and that requires you to explore and pay attention and KH1's level design sounds like it has the "first installment weirdness" charm that the first Devil May Cry had. I need to replay KH1 for myself to properly judge but on paper KH1's levels do have much more personality in how you interact with them compared to it's sequels. I am not sure if I will play through the entire series, KH3 without that childhood attachment is hard to go through, but you piqued my interest regarding *this* particular game.

@TheComfySpotVids 3 месяца назад

I totally get you not being too into the series if you didn’t play them as a kid growing up. For some people, it was a matter of right game at the right time in their childhood. I’m glad that my thoughts on the level design piqued your interest enough to consider replaying KH1! It’s largely the only game in the series with a sort of level design that’s not so simplistic. DDD might do more interesting things with its level design (I don’t remember much about that game), but it’s not until KH3 where the level design actually gets interesting again. Trust and believe that it’s something I know I’ll talk about in future videos for this series.

@civilwarfare101 3 месяца назад

@@TheComfySpotVids Funnily enough as a kid, I got to choose between Simpsons Road Rage and KH1, and I chose the former, I got to wonder if that ultimate effected my game taste. I really like to think if kid me would get into KH1 at all. I remember KH3 not being as simplisitc as 2 but it never really made you be as observant as KH1 did, I haven't played 3 in a while. I might replay KH1 again sooner or later, I'm planning to play more RPGs in the coming future hopefully.

@Kenub927 3 месяца назад

The council was so important and I hate that they stopped making Disney villains part of the overall narrative. And even more so they stopped making the Disney villains the bosses. It turned into just being random shaped heartless bosses that have no relevance. The fact that the story got so convoluted really kills me because the first one was so simple and so perfect. And lastly, it feels like some of the new games have just become set dressing for a plethora of mini games instead of focusing on the main game.
