How I got into the KH series

 

It was either May 2006 or May 2007 (cant remember) and I went to my cousins house. He had a PS2 and when I got bored from playing with outside with my other cousin, I asked him if I can play it and he said yes. I played a few games but the one I remember playing the most was Kingdom Hearts 2. I remember going on my cousins save file (he already beaten the game) and exploring the worlds and beating heartlesses. I decided the next day to make my own save file and try to beat the game myself. I was only on Day 2 on roxas when I had to go home (I was staying over there for vacation) Few months later.for.christmas I got a PS2 with Kingdom Hearts 2 and a.couple of.other games and I beated the game 2 months later.

 

And ive been a big kh fan ever since!

Kingdom Hearts II was also my first Kingdom Hearts game!  You know, it's really awesome to see how many different people encounter these games.  I'm sure you must have been excited as hell to have the game at the time!

I genuinely can't remember how I got into the first one; it was either my friend who gave me the copy of KH, or my parents after I had played it with him. He definitely gave me a copy of the second one, though, and it remains my favorite (although BBS certainly gives it a run for its money!).

 

Been into it since the first game, although not on release; I first got my PS2 around 2004, so some time after that, but before KH2. And then Chain of Memories somewhere in between that.

September 2006 for me, aka when KH2 released.

I played Kingdom Hearts 1 at my friend's place. We wanted to go somewhere together and her parents were driving us, so I came to her place. Her brother was playing KH when I came in. I got curious because it kinda reminded me of final fantasy and asked the name of the game. We had to wait a little bit so I got to play a bit and I loved it. When I came home I asked my mother to get it for my sisters and me. The funny thing is, just like we got FF X-2 before FFX, we also get Kingdom hearts 2 first. I managed to infect one of my sisters with kingdom hearts too and both of us have been KH fans ever since.

I tried to get my friend into final fantasy, but she didn't like that the gameplay wasn't as free moving as in Kingdom Hearts.

The thing is, though KH 1 was the one that got me in the series, I couldn't play it, because it was unavailable at that moment, so I played KH 2 first and when we got the first one I went back to starting from the very start. I remember my sister playing KH 2 and then being like, 'but I don't want to change to Sora, I want to keep play as Roxas!'. 

So both games were kinda the first games I played of the series, but KH 1 got me into this wonderful mess journey.

I think one of my cousins was playing it first...or I got it bc it was Disney and I love the franchise. Now I'm in love with it for many reasons
