i followed kingdom hearts pretty closely up until kingdom hearts 3 went through it's rework from the ground up in unreal 4. by that point, i had been waiting for so long and i was just not interested in playing the game whatsoever. from what my other friend who LOVES kingdom hearts said, it wasn't that great, either. leaves much more questions and doesn't answer practically anything. i never got around to playing dream drop distance either.
but i still can't help it. i fucking love the time i spent with the series. those nights with my friends grinding out the ultima keyblade. the only games i had on my GBA being pokemon emerald and kingdom hearts chain of memories. buying a ps2 specifically so i could play kingdom hearts 2. playing the absolute fuck out of it. buying a psp specifically so i could play birth by sleep and taking it on a week long cabin stay, just absolutely binging it whenever i got the chance.
it'll always be a game series that left an imprint on me. when i've tried to play it again it just doesn't feel the same as it did back then, and that's part of the reason why i don't think i'll ever touch kh3 or kh4 when it comes out. there is a lot of powerful nostalgia there that is just impossible to measure up to.
