I started playing Kingdom Hearts in 2009. After watching all of the cutscenes for Kingdom Hearts online I wanted to buy the game. At that time Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 were going for $5-10 at Gamestop, so I bought both on my birthday. After playing both games about three times each I thought to myself: "I must be missing something here because I have no idea how Sora got into that pod." It wasn't until I went online and found out that both Chain of Memories and 358/2 Days came between 1 and 2 that I really began to appreciate the depth of storytelling that Kingdom Hearts series offered. Kingdom Hearts then became my favorite series. I have been a huge geek for the series ever since, reading anything I can get my hands on about the lore. KH 1.5 and 2.5 Remix have been a dream come true for me. To actually be able to earn trophies for accomplishing feats in my favorite games has been a blast. Every time I try to explain the Kingdom Hearts 1 storyline to anyone they always give me a weird look. I am a details guy so I would say things like: "Then Sora decides to stab himself with the Key to Return Hearts and.. This particular aspect of the game is very important, but it won't make sense until the third game in the series KH2." Has anyone else here had a similar experience trying to explain the plot to someone?
