What KH1 had that KH2 didn't.

[Haeralis]

I like almost everything about KH1 more.

-Atmosphere
-Platforming
-Billy Zane
-Ansem SOD
-Possessed Riku
-THE STORYLINE
-The Music
-The gameplay


And of coarse, Billy Zane.

I miss the trinities so much. They need to come back in KH3.
Let's see, how about Aero? That was a pretty good defensive spell.

And alot of the Disney worlds in KH2 were really pointless, and small.
Visiting them a second time was just stupid.

true... that spell was handy, especially against sephiroth

Intriguing Story, Fuller, Non-Pointless Worlds, Not Random Button-Smashing Gameplay, Actual Difficulty, Platforming, Adventure, Challenge, should I go on?

Plot incorporated in Disney Worlds. KH2 was shitty at that.
KH3 better do that, as BBS brought that back, and no second visits.
Second visits are not needed.

Also, Traverse Town and Hollow Bastion.
I hated going to RG and seeing HB out in the distance.

Platforming is a must. Re:coded brought that back, and from the bits I played, it was fun. Arguably "funner" than KH1.

This is kind of a hard question. I think they're both really different. And the original isn't really better imo, it was definately more challenging, but not good challenging, annoying challenging. But I love them both, just very differently.

Replaying KH1FM has reminded me even more so of how much more fun it is than KHII.

This is coming from someone who beat the Level 1 run on Critical Mode in KHIIFM...

I love KH2 as well, but KH had so much more to me.
KH2:
- Stupid titles whenever you entered a room. I didn't care and they blocked the way.
- Too easy. There was no real stratergy to defeating enemies.'
- The magic system. It was so much harder to tell how many spells you could cast.
- Menu screen. I found it really annoying how whenever something new was collected or happened, 'new' would appear underneath it.
- Linear for a lot of it. Not being able to choose where you went next because the game would not let you.
- The new Aerith's voice. She sounds terrible in my opinion.

Although I loved in KH2 the battle of 1000 heartless, how you could fight with FF characters (even just for a short time).

KH1

Pros

+ The story was more engaging
+ the worlds are engaging, diverse and more fun to explore in.
+ I enjoyed the Disney characters especially the villains
+ The gameplay is somewhat difficult than its succcessor but so much more rewarding.
+ The voice actors really gave it their all in both versions of KH.
+ I really like some of the mini game in the seires
+ the mystery of the keyblade, the heartless opened the door for many discussions.

Cons

- the gummi ship system was kind of annoying
- some worlds didn't make it into the game
- you cannot skip some scenes
- its sometimes easy to get lost in the worlds
- the game felt a little short

KH2

Pros

+ improved gummi ship system
+ more worlds to explore
+ the use of the triangle button
+ being able to play FF characters
+ being able to skip the scenes
+ the game is fun

Cons

- the game is kind of easy even on critical
- the worlds are not as magical as before
- the magic uses up all your MP
- some voice actors weren't even trying at all and the lack of Zane is jarring
- Roxas, Org. XIII and Xemnas were just annoying but fun to fight

I beginnign to enjoy KH1 better than two especially when you get to the story. The storyw asn't hanled very well at all in KH2 and the game forces you to revisit worlds for almost no reason at all. It has also lost some of the magic that made the first game so great. Its always the little thigns that mad ethe games great.

So this was revived why? j/k

@ Topic:

An Adventure is what KH1 had a grand one at that. I still remember the slogan they had on the back cover and in that commerical leading up the release. I'll even go so far as it reminds of those bed time stories that gave some of the best dreams ever as a kid.

"You'll never know who you'll run into next."


On a side note that's one reason why I liked the way the World Map for KH1 was set up with the worlds as questions marks instead of oh here this is Cinderella and that's Destiny Island it helped with the mystifying aspect of the game.

We will ever get that again probably not lol.
