#i still think 358/2 days is pretty inaccessible because imo the cutscene movie is actively detrimental to every character in it

every kh game I legally own 👍

I got into kh a few years ago but if I'd gotten into it as a young child I know exactly what would have happened. I barely used the internet so I would have either had to hear about it from a friend in school or watch a friend play it at their house. I would tell my parents I wanted a kingdom hearts game. they would look up which games were available for the consoles I owned (the wii and the nintendo dsi). between the two games, they would decide that 358/2 Days was too dark, and get me Re:Coded instead. I would happily play Re:Coded and go forward in life assuming that I had gotten a serviceable remake/port of kh1 and Chain of Memories. I would then learn this is false around middle school

anyway there was some sort of game accessibility paradox with kh games. it's accessible, in that being spread across so many consoles means people might be able to play at least one (for me, I wouldn't be able to play any of the numbered titles because I have never owned a playstation but I could play several of the non-numbered ones), but it's inaccessible because the story requires you to know the plot of all of them. this isn't really that true any more I guess because all the collections are coming out on steam tomorrow + the cutscene compilations online, but yeah
