Posted February 14, 20232 yr What was the fandom like in the early days like around CoM and 2? What were some of the popular theories and opinions people had?
February 14, 20232 yr That was a long while ago Although I didn't frequent the fandom spaces like this back then the only theory I remember was everybody thinking KH2, or was it KH2FM's? secret ending was going to turn out to be KH3. Funny to look back now and see how off people were.

But yes, people were convinced that the KH2/FM secret endings were secret trailers for KH3, which wasn't too out there considering KH1/FM's secret endings were teasing KH2. I remember me and my friends were all convinced that the three armoured figures were Sora, Riku and Kairi until the Final Mix secret trailer came out.

I actually remember some people I knew theorizing that they were Sora, Riku, and Kairi even after their face reveals, which just confused the heck out of me especially as someone who had not fully played through KH and KH2 at the time. It’s funny because when BbS did actually start getting trailers and leading up to its launch I was like “why do these characters look so….familiar?…”
February 16, 20232 yr People jealous af of the new abilities, boss fights and Limit Form in KH2FM, I remember desperately trying to figure out how to get Magnet Splash on vanilla KH2 Seeing Ventus in the secret trailer and thinking to myself "Why is Roxas there?", and trying to understand what was happening in the non-voiced cutscenes are also good ones And last, but not least, "Something Funny Happened On The Way To Kingdom Hearts" and "Kingdom Hearts: The Stupid Files" were the best shitposting we had back then

It’s funny because when BbS did actually start getting trailers and leading up to its launch I was like “why do these characters look so….familiar?…” i don't think i found out there was a secret ending until nearly the trailers came out. i do remember thinking old man xheanort was the apprentice having become corrupted
February 17, 20232 yr I can't speak for the KH2/CoM days, but I distinctly remember looking at the comments section of Dark Impetus, the song that plays when fighting YMX, and seeing someone go 'Ansem the Wise?' On second thought, that might have been the video description. Maybe both?
March 29, 20232 yr The memes were amazing. Kingdom Hearts Crazy Files were truly some of the funniest things to me. A lot of conversations on the real names of Organization members. Edited March 29, 20232 yr by KHfan4
