Just got a secondhand copy of Kingdom Hearts 2, ready for when I finish the first one... I am loving it. It is odd, I almost prefer it to FF, but then, Disney was one of my longterm obsessions...one way of escaping the pressures of adulthood and escaping back into childhood things.
Pretty similiar situation I was in. While Disney wasn't quite one of my obssessions, I definately developed a natural favoritism for it when I was younger and pressured myself to view my favorites over again. Now, one of my newer obssessions is Final Fantasy. It's so bad that I'm creating my own Final Fantasy, and the world within it is starting to rival that of the real games themselves.
Back on topic though, the thing about Kingdom Hearts for me is that it combines together to very prominent passions in my past and present. The idea of seeing both of them together is cool on it's...
actually seeing them together (in an excellent video game mind you) is something else entirely. If there was anything I would want changed with Kingdom Hearts II, I would want there to be more Final Fantasy Characters featured in it. How could would it be to see Sephiroth meet Maleficent? Or better yet, what would Hades think of the murderous Kefka, who poisoned an entire village's worth of woman and children and laughed like a maniac after it? Those meetings would be priceless!
