KH1 The Tone has Changed so Much Since This Game...

[hatok 6,413]

Recently, i've been playing KH1 again and...

It's kind of jarring with DDD so fresh on my mind.

KH has become a completely different beast since its inception...

The game is much slower paced... and there are tonnes of optional bits... NPCs everywhere by comparison to later games... the combat is so much more strategic... Donald and Goofy die every other second...

Keyblades are handed out at meaningful intervals, and don't just arbitrarily appear at the end of a world

Tech points

Alternate cutscenes

Maleficent is a threat

Disney is actually a factor

Sora is actually smart, and capable of putting two and two together.

 

...

 

It's SO different

This is crazy.

You know why the cutscenes weren't skippable in Kh1? Because they were the most enjoyable.

Pretty sure it was to torture you every time you got beat by Riku in Hollow Bastion.

It's not that hard IMO. FM is harder but you can skip cutscenes you've already seen there.

So Maleficent's pain grunts aren't forever ingrained in your soul?

So Sora got dumber as he got older...?

I guess this is what happens when you don't go to school?

Was going to say this, and it's doubly so in Expert Mode.

 

Also, the fixed requirements for the secret ending is the same in each mode. Granted in KH there are two, but still it's nice to know that you're going after the same objective in each mode, just at a harder difficulty.

Aerora basically fixed this though. Loved Aero spells in that game.

Aero and Donald's Second Chance and Second Wind abilities saved my butt in the Captain Hook fight.

Not necessarily just that a lot of the things that happened in KH1 he slightly forgets in KH2 because some of the things were still a bit distant to him after what happened in CoM. But he's also lacks in the ability to observe by time this happens.

I feel so sorry for sorry in the more recent games, every one thinks of him like he's got mental disabilities being so slow and all

In the first game he seems a lot more sharper.

I Agree so much....now that we know so many things
