After going through KH2 and it's linear corridors, you'll regret those words.
At least KH has somewhat decent level design.

Didn't say good, I said decent. Is somewhat fun to explore most of the levels in the game, and yeah I'll take that over KHXIII.
No KHI dungeon comes close to the Cave of rememberance in terms of level design. Actually no other dungeon in the series comes close. And it's still an unfair comparison because that dungeon is optional and part of an expansion of sorts.
Wait now I don't know if my point is on favor of II or not lol

Your nostalgia got u high as a kite. Tarzan is the worst world ever. The platforming was so gahdamn stiff in the jungle my goodness.
Hollow Bastion was like finishing a test 30mins before everyone but having to wait till it was all over to leave. The puzzles were just stupidly simple in that u knew what to do immediately but they would make u backtrack to infinity & beyond to finish it.
The worlds sucked bruh, only decent one was Olympus Colliseum but that's bc of Sephiroth and the Titans so that ain't even fair
But how does the story in KH1 shit on KH2 or any other story for that matter? Seriously, break it down for me bc I'm curious
EDIT: Actually ight, Neverland was pretty dope.
Getting to fly was and still is pretty fun. Glide ability is the GOAT skill in KH so Neverland has my gratitude

Anyone here dislike the Winnie the Pooh world, I'm so happy they got rid of it for Birth by Sleep, I can't stand any of the characters.
Yea. I remember playing Kingdom Hearts for the first time, got frustrated in Tarzan world so I dropped the game. Few years later I saw Kingdom Hearts 2 coming out and saw the trailers and really wanted to play, so I went back to KH to finish it to prepare myself for KH2. Still hated Tarzan world and the platforming, but I managed to finish it and it wasn't so bad after it.
Years later KH 1.5 came out so I played KH1 again, and remembered how much I hate Tarzan world again lol.
I understand that some prefer KH1 levels over 2 because it's not as linear, but I just can't.
the levels are fugly and look like ass, and the paltforming is pretty bad.
KH2 levels might be linear s hell, but they were at least pleasant to look at and I didn't have to deal with any terrible paltfroming or another Tarzan, Atlantica(KH1) and ugh Hollow bastion(KH1)
Cavern of Remembrance is likely the best level in the series by far for me.
visually appealing, not linear, decent platforming and requires good use of abilities learned.

I actually really dig it! It's so insanely sweet, and Sora fits in strangely well with that cast.
Was glad it wasn't in BBS though. Would've been just like going through Disney Town three times - terrible.
I only remember that I need to do stuff there in order to get one keyblade and to unlock Sephiroth fight.

Cracked me up but I felt really bad after reading your other thread. But I definitely share your sentiments regarding these games.

Can't remember if the light cycle part is before or after the perfect spot to grind the summon gauge

Easiest place to grind summon gauge (and Limit Form+Valor Form) in FM is in Agrabah mushroom so after.

I'm talking about the place where you have to beat a bunch of enemies to fill up a gauge to activate a computer in Space Paranoids. It's the best place to do it in a speedrun of critical since the enemies keep respawning until you use the reaction command
You get limit form before Space Paranoids.

If it makes you feel better that boss is much easier in the Final Mix version that it was in the original. It used to be a major potential roadblock.

Demyx is a pain unless you know the fight really well. Best thing to do is just to stay the hell away from him unless you've got cures ready to go.

It also doesn't have fun combat, so there's that. You can disable Auto Limit, but you can't enable fun combat.
Oh you are fighting my boy Demyx.
He was like O&S(Dark Souls) of the game for me.
This guy
almost
I like KH1's combat. It's just not as fun and fluid as 2 for me and didn't age that well.

so what path did you decide to take OP ?

You know that phase where you need to kill 10 water clones in 15 seconds? It used to be 10 seconds in the original.
The set up to this fight is so goddamn good
Kingdom Hearts is goofy as hell, but that scene actually gave me chills
