When did you join the KH13 community and what brought you to this website in the first place? After the recent Nintendo Direct, I was attempting to concisely explain the plot of the Kingdom Hearts series to some of my buddies in preparation for the release of KH4 and this impossible task had me looking like Charlie Day in that It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia conspiracy meme. It also led me to recalling some core childhood memories of mine from my time on this website... and I've just now managed to regain access to my this KH13 account! I created this account back in 2012 when KH DDD was released on the 3DS and WOW do I feel old typing this out 😐 Before that, I'd been a lurker on this site after KH 358/2 Days was released in 2009 and arrived at KH13 while trying to wrap my then incompetent-child brain around Days' story connections to KH1, COM, and KH2's opening/secret ending (with Ventus and Roxas looking identical to one another). In hindsight, I probably also joined to subconsciously address my need for mutual commiseration after starting to understand the implications of the emotional destruction that was the loss + collective amnesia of Xion at that point in the series... therapy probably would have been best but hey, hindsight is 20/20 🙃 Anyways, I wanted to post this to both acknowledge and celebrate this community for being essential in cultivating mine and others' interests in the series way back then and here we are 17 years later, awaiting Kingdom Hearts 4, after making it through the thirteen-year, multi-console, mobile game-filled gap between the release of KH2 and KH3!
