    This is why this channel is great. You talk about how you felt when it came out and where you were in life at the time. NOT just another analysis of the game itself. This is so much more interesting.

    I remember being incredibly shy about my interest in Kingdom Hearts when I was in middle/high school. Now as a full grown adult, I dont give a flip about what people think about me and my love for the Kingdom Hearts franchise.

    I remember back in 2001 telling my friends that this game was going to be big, and every laughed at me. Look at the series now. Even though I enjoyed the first game, I fell off by the time the 2nd game cane out. Too mans delays.

      Same here. I beat the first game, but never the second. Apparently I bought the strategy guide for 2nd game & it's like brand new so I can use it for PS4 version. Just need to beat KH2 before the next game releases.

      Living Dead Paradox Living Dead Paradox actually you need to beat kh2 birth by sleep dream drop distance watch back cover snd gef aquainted with the kh union x and unchained x stories. Because 3 will not make sense. Even though alot of the games arent numbered the games in between are just as important storywise. Kh2 migjt be tje second game but its actually the third game in the series. So really even tbougj we are 3 technically we are on the 8th kh game

    I remember seeing a commerical for the KH1 back in highschool and hearing that pop song that's in the intro of the game and being like "Wtf is this?" I actually played the game recently and thought it was alright.

  • @Ninjar1000
    @Ninjar1000 6 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I'm 23 now. I remember reading about the first game in a magazine when I was around 7. I really wanted to play this game but as my parents were poor I never did back then. I'm actually playing through the first game right now. I bought a used PS2 and the game for 30$. Best 30$ I've ever spent.

    • @Lightguardian_HOH

    • @Ninjar1000
      @Ninjar1000 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Kingdom of Gamers I thnk I’ll buy PS4 when KH3 comes out. I’m not that interested in playing new games as I am collecting and playing everything I wanted when I was a child. I don’t mind playing in 480i instead of HD and for other games I’d rather play them on the hardware they came out on. I’m weird that way lol

      Me too!!! Recently I've been collecting all of the ratchet and clank, sly cooper, jak and daxter, and kingdom hearts I can grab for my ps3!!! I didn't expect to actually get attached to the system and all of these good games I missed when I was a poor kid!!! Keep playing man!!!!

  • @sippingGerber
    @sippingGerber 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Johnny I love how you took pics of your old setup just like with FFXI. Your pics show the nostalgia that I once lived through. Kinda brings a small tear to my eye

  • @ThisIsPatRyan
    @ThisIsPatRyan 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Wow. That setup just took me back to when I was 18. I had that same SONY television, and I remember them old school entertainment centers with the glass doors that you push in to open lol. My little bother got Kingdom Hearts at the time he was 11 and I was 18. I remember seeing him play and was like oh what a little kid game, and then one day I tried it cause I was bored and remember playing it non-stop.

    @McJorneil 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I received Kingdom Hearts on Christmas Eve and I also remember it being the last time my family ever hosted a Christmas gathering at our house. I remember sitting there in the room, with the lights out, with three of my cousins all watching along as we played through the tutorial mission. We would take turns fighting Tidus, Wakka, Selphie, and struggled against Riku. It wasn't til after they all left when I finally beat him and then continued on to Traverse Town. In a way I kinda felt like Sora in that moment, suddenly finding myself all alone without my friends there to join me on the adventure. But man, it was still a great time.

  • @watgaming8941

  • @PhilC_PhD
    @PhilC_PhD 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    One of my favorite gaming memories is when Kingdom Hearts 2 came out. My buddy and I both saved up before it came out (we were in high school) so we could get it at launch, and we basically raced each other to see who could get through the game the fastest and unlock the most stuff. I have only played the Ps2 games, but it still such a great series and I am hyped for the next one.

  • @manzoman96

    Love this story dude! Kingdom Hearts was pretty much the start of my fandom of Square/jrpgs so for that it's a very important game to me.

  • @Ryanmdrover
    @Ryanmdrover 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Amazing game. I was 11 when I got it for Christmas 2002. I remember going to my grandparents house on the weekend that I got it and never leaving the den because I was so obsessed with this game. Great video. Nostalgic as heck.

  • @BenRiley83
    @BenRiley83 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This game was magical. I also had issues with it at first. I was 19 years old and I wanted to play mature games like Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil. But this game was magical. I’ll never forget how amazing it was! I glad I got to play it at launch! My friends and I would not stop talking about how awesome it was!

  • @MadPanicGaming
    @MadPanicGaming 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I was also skeptical when I first heard about Kingdom Hearts but I ended up loving it. The first game is actually one of the few RPGs that I've completed in both English and Japanese along with games like Dragon Quest V & VIII and Chrono Trigger, so I hold it in really high regard.

  • @kilifischkopp1442

    @JohnnyDeppFan1433 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have some amazing memories freshman year of high school playing the first Kingdom Hearts when it came out. A good friend of mine and I played through the game separately but during the same time span and would come to school and talk about it nonstop.

  • @RetroRaider
    @RetroRaider 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was waiting for this video on your channel since FOREVER :D
    Oh boy... Kingdom Hearts, my favorite game of all time, for many reasons. I still havent talked about it on my channel because Im saving it for a special time.
    It truly was that game that changed my life, because I think I played it at the right time. My life was a mess, I was a mess, in a really sad and dark mood, and that game was my escape.
    Kingdom Hearts was not just a game for me, not just a hobby, but a "place" where I could put stuff my things together.
    Thank you for sharing your Kingdom Hearts memories Johnny ,)
    Game a lot.

  • @Melchiorblade7
    @Melchiorblade7 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I'm playing KH 1 for the first time right now and i'm absolutely loving it. Ever since it came out i wasn't really interested in it due to disney involvement and the childlike aesthetic but boy was i wrong! The music and progression system are particularly enjoyable

    So great to know your history with Kingdom Hearts. I had a similar experience, my friend spent a few months trying to convince me to play it. So glad I did! One of my favorite franchises

  • @Zeithri
    @Zeithri 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was hooked on the concept the second I heard about it. Skeptic, but totally thought it sounded great.
    And then I played it home at my childhood friend's place and just, the game was great.
    I don't think I've ever felt shamed over liking a game in my childhood really. It's more in my adult life that I look back at my first PS1 game that I cringe at it - I owned Spice World. And I loved it. But hey, life goes on!
    6:50 - I love it x3

  • @AscendentGaming

    The first Kingdom Hearts is my favorite game of all time, I was a teen when it came out and was such an amazing experience.

  • @Paul5200_
    @Paul5200_ 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I played Kingdom Hearts for the first time in the summer of 2013. It instantly became one of my all time favorite games. 5 years later it's still one of my fondest gaming memories.

  • @nostalgiaverse9892
    @nostalgiaverse9892 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    KH was like a match made in heaven for me. I was born in 88 so I saw all the Disney Cartoons growing up & Final Fantasy VII is my favorite video game of all time so the inclusion of characters like Cloud, Cid, Aerith, Yuffie, & Tifa gave me that extra push to give this series a shot.
    I'm hyped for Kingdom Hearts 3 solely because we are finally going to get the finale of the Cloud vs Sephiroth fight & I bet you anything they will have the character designs from the Remake. I can't wait!

  • @acidDrop2000
    @acidDrop2000 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I remember vividly the commercials for the original Kingdom Hearts from back in the day. "Simple and Clean" just hypnotized me for some reason, it felt surreal and dream-like. I eventually borrowed the game from a friend and beat it all the way through (including Sephiroth) in a week. Not sure how I got any homework done that week

    • @THBbon
      @THBbon 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      My advice. Play 1 then 2 cuz the middle games aren't as good. You want to avoid getting burnt out before you get your hands on 3. If the first game makes you a fanatic and you have a couplehundred hours to play all 7 games go for it but I'd stick to just the 2 mains.

  • @scottkelley4517
    @scottkelley4517 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I tentatively rented the game with the slight shame you speak of. I was so blown away that I bought it that weekend. Every zone just mixed it up so well that you wanted to see what was up next.

  • @pinkfloyd36123
    @pinkfloyd36123 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    i missed out on the KH wave when the games were coming out, bought the PS4 collection last summer and man, do i regret not getting into the series earlier as it's become one of my favourite franchises. it's pretty amazing that KH1 and especially KH2 manage to retain that magic that originally won people over in the 2000s (the other games, not so much imo). if you're at all interested in this series or just action games in general, i highly recommend getting the 1.5 + 2.5 collection on PS4, at the low price it's such an incredible value deal.

  • @newgameaaaa
    @newgameaaaa 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think I played Kingdom Hearts in the summer of 2013 or 14 or 15 because my friend was telling me how great it is. While I was playing it, I was watching the disney movies from the worlds in the game as I was progressing. The movies and the game was great and I had a wonderful time.

  • @jeffbartolo288

  • @michaelhall736
    @michaelhall736 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I felt the same way as all those people saying it was stupid at first. I remember when I was a little kid reading the December 2001 issue of PlayStation magazine and seeing the previews of it. I didn't know what Final Fantasy was back then, but seeing cartoon Disney characters and these realistic looking characters didn't look right to me. I thought it was stupid. Two years later I rented it from the video store and I fucking loved it. It was awesome. The crossover with the Disney and Final Fantasy characters was done real well, the soundtrack was kickass, and the gameplay was awesome and satisfying. I became a fan for life after that. This also made me want to play the Final Fantasy games.

  • @Spider_Mike023

    Man I remember my dad got me a ps2 for xmas in 2002, my older came by to visit later in the day a d gave me a stack of games as a xmas present. And kh was one of them. I was immediately hooked. That was a memorable xmas. Played on the floor in a sleeping bag playing my new system and addicted to kh.

  • @OffensiveMark
    @OffensiveMark 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I didn't get KH1 until a few months after KH2 came out. It stayed on my "games to play" pile for a few more months. Then a good friend of mine who was a fan basically forced me to start playing it. Marathoned it in a few days, and immediately went out to get the sequel. Been a big fan of the series ever since. :)

  • @MsSmeek420
    @MsSmeek420 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I used to pretend to be sick just so I could go home and beg my dad to buy my kingdom hearts. I used to collect magazines and clip out all articles and ads for it and put them into a folder. This game really changed video games so much for me. I was already a huge FF fan but this game was on another level for me

  • @interghost
    @interghost 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I loved this game too, however, It's one I've started several times but never got very far in it. Still a great combo of a game though. Thanks for sharing your memories John.

  • @muragaru553
    @muragaru553 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    That is certainly a comfy set up. Never got that vibe about Kingdom Hearts, but I imagine if there was a game series like it for the Don Bluth films, I'd probably feel the same way. Thanks for sharing :D

  • @Mandalore08
    @Mandalore08 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    As a kid who grew up on the Disney Renaissance, and the fact that I was just getting into Final Fantasy, this game was a bit of a system seller for me. Though I was also very interested in Sly Cooper.

    I'm going to revisit these games as soon as I'm done with Final Fantasy IX. Gotta be happy playing these games on Steam too, as I'm not always at home thanks to working away. I can't remember much but these 1.5 and 2.5 games do have me intrigued.
    And with one other anticipated game coming in January, I'm currently revisiting the Resident Evil Remake which I AM actually playing on the PS4, due to the fact those games got remastered in HD. RE2 Remake looks really scary!

  • @SlipKnoTfreak1456

    Man, I was 10 when this game came out and it was the first RPG I completed properly, and ever since then I’ve been trying to find that feeling that damned game left me with, so many emotions for a 10 year old to feel. 😂

  • @Silvergun_Raven
    @Silvergun_Raven 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I loved the first KH when I played it back in 2002, but the story started going all over the place in future installments (yeah, everyone says that). I mainly liked it for the combat and the Disney characters.

  • @THBbon

  • @albertogallegos5966
    @albertogallegos5966 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    At the time I was 16, and all my group of friends liked square and liked the idea of kingdom hearts, I don't know why many people here in the comments described that initially, people had a negative reaction, perhaps it was the age.

  • @GareBearGamingGround
    @GareBearGamingGround 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I remember this came out when I was 15 or 16 and I thought the idea of having Final Fantasy characters in it was cool, but I was going through my super douchey "I'm too cool and mature for Disney" phase so I steered clear away lol. Sadly, I have yet to play any games in the series to this day, but I have picked up the HD remasters and plan to, soon.

  • @ChrisPTenders
    @ChrisPTenders 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love all the crazy spin-offs and their crazy convoluted incomprehensible stories - but for me, it's also about that first game. They never quite nailed that charm and balance again. It kinda became more about innovating the combat system than pulling Disney worlds into this crazy Final Fantasy type narrative... which is fine, I love the combat in all the sequels and I adore the expansive, surprisingly deep lore that's been in the making for the past decade. I just miss the simple immersion of trying to find your friends, exploring worlds with that childhood wonder atmosphere. That game has an amazing feeling that not many games capture nearly the same way.
    It's kinda like how with Star Wars, that first movie was just an incredible adventure, and it was perfect in its simplicity; and then you get like ten sequels detailing character motivations and how the Force works with detailed continuity and expansive background, and as great as that is, it's never gonna be great in the same way that first adventure was. Also, nobody thought the first one would work, and everyone thinks the second one is better than the first except me and two other people, haha.

  • @chrismyers7794
    @chrismyers7794 6 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @TBustah
    @TBustah 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I had to wait until AFTER that Christmas to get it. My brother had been saving for a PS2, and we both got some money for Christmas. He used his plus what he'd saved to buy the system and some other stuff for it, and I bought the game. I bought it for the exact opposite reason: I was NOT into Square or even RPGs (other than Pokemon and messing around with RPG Maker), I was interested in the Disney stuff. I did get into JRPGs later, though, and this game is largely the reason why.

  • @backyardparkworks
    @backyardparkworks 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Reminds me of that very specific chunk of time in early 2000s when goth culture was beginning to die out and be absorbed into weeb and gamer culture. Kingdom Hearts and Nightmare before Christmas definitely were two of the main bridges in that transition. Keyblades and Jack Skelington imagery was rampant in that hybrid part of the scene.

    @CoffinSkate 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I remember playing Kingdom Hearts as a kid for the first time many years ago, and at the time, I just thought that the game was okay. I wasn't too impressed with the game, part of it was because I hadn't progressed past Destiny Island, but I digress. Then, after a while, they started airing commercials for Kingdom Hearts II, and when I saw the commercial for the game, I never wanted a game as badly as I wanted Kingdom Hearts II. That being said, I got Kingdom Hearts II as a late Christmas gift, and I loved it so damn much. I loved the story, the gameplay, the music, I loved it all. Fast-forward to now, I have played and beat almost every Kingdom Hearts game, and I have the deluxe edition of Kingdom Hearts III pre-ordered, and I can't wait to be playing the game I've been waiting years for on the day of release.

    I was a real a-hole when I was younger man, jrpgs and rpgs were not macho enough for my friends and I, we were real jerks to kids who played them. I have to say I never game them a chance until I saw your Y’s and PS videos in my 40s 😁 LoL and Now I’m the biggest Shin Megami Tensei and Persona fan. What can I say, I was an Idiot lol 🧟‍♂️ thanks for showing me the light! 🙏🏼

    It’s weird because I kinda felt the same way when this game was coming out. But like almost everyone, once I actually played it, I fell in love! Also do you still have that re3 Jill Valentine standee???

    I used to work with a guy who loved kingdom hearts, I never played one or cared much for it.

    My brother bought this game while I was four or so. Never beat it since I was a little scared but i fell in love with it and have played every game since and KH2 was the first jrpg I’ve ever beaten. And yeah it’s hard to admit being a fan of the series publicly because people think it’s a kids game series lol.

    When kingdom hearts came out my friend payed me $5 to go into Babbages to buy it for him because he was ashamed of buying a game with Disney characters. It ended up being a absolutely amazing game we both loved. Times were so different 15 years ago. The main draw for us was final fantasy characters.

    Once I get KH3, my life will be complete! I’ve played KH1 and KH2 three times over my life, that’s how amazing this game is!
    And a little story....I remembered wanting Jack and Daxter for Christmas but instead my family got me KH1 wrapped in my dads underwear (for entertainment purposes, don’t know why they thought it was funny). And I was completely devastated... long story short it became one of the best games I’ve ever played. When KH2 came out I’d didn’t even realize it was already out but after I finished that game KH3 was something I thought would come out in the next couple of years. It turned out to be awhile but now that’s it’s coming, it’s definitely a dream come true. Just like what this series has been for me.

    I remember getting my first PS2 as a kid growing up. I was allowed to get 5 games. Kingdom Hearts was one of them, and I had no idea wtf the game was or what it was about until after I got home and played it. I just liked the case art >.>

    I remember first hearing about Kingdom Hearts in EGM. I bought the game for my younger brother and sister, but that was more to keep them away from my Final Fantasy games 🙃. I have still never played a Kingdom Hearts game. Maybe someday.

    My girlfriend tuned me onto Kingdom Hearts and I'm currently playing through the second game, i already beat the first one so I'm slowly making it through the second game. I thought the game was trash when it came out too, but after playing it for over 50 plus hours (that's including the 1st and 2nd game) I've actually became a fan!

    You‘re describing my feelings better than I could possibly do it myself.
    It‘s as if you are talking about my memories of this game.
    Well, except for that bit where you were taking photos of Satan, I never did that.

    ... HOLY SHIT, YOU’RE 45..?! Well done, dude, you look great, lol! I had thought you were about my age (subtract ten years).
    Anyway, I was a teenager when KH came out and I was totally into it. I love FF and I love Disney, so... who gives a fuck what anyone else thinks?

    There's still something so odd about seeing Donald and Goofy in the same universe as Cloud and Sephiroth.

    Kingdom Hearts is in my top 5 games list. The music, the combat, the way they interpreted the worlds. I didn't play any of the ds titles but I'm looking forward to kh3. Watched a few lore videos to catch up 😂👌

    I'm surprised you don't talk about Kingdom Hearts II. Hopefully you've had time to play that one because most people agree it's even better than the original. :)

    • @NexusVerbal

      It improves on certain aspects, but KH2 is a piss-easy game and that makes it inferior in my opinion. The first one was actually challenging.

    • @cryptonix02
      @cryptonix02 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh man. With the recent 2.5 Collection on PS3/PS4, KH2 got a much more challenging game mode called Critical Mode. To make it even more challenging, you can equip an ability at that keeps you at LV1. Regular Critical Mode can already be rage-inducing, but LV1 Critical Mode is the true test of one's patience and mental fortitude.
