Kingdom Hearts

Gilgamesh could wield every Keyblade you don't have equipped at the time.

Kingpoor Key is a must.

Have him wield one of the old versions of Ultima Weapon.

...Or, actually, have him wield the Jungle King.

Kingdumb Key.

Have him dual wield X-blade and Ea.

I'd love for him to use Enuma Elish at full power and be able to survive it due to SCOM.

Roxas Stick!

It would be some thing if the Kingdom Hearts series had a whole world based on The Epic of Gilgamesh. It certainly seems like an innovative choice, though I'd assume it would have to be Disneyfied in the manner of Hercules before it could work.

Daniel Floyd fo Extra Credits (the narrator) talks about animation in Kingdom Hearts I. Part 1. Part 2.

part 3 is out as well.

i do have to recognize that animating all these characters in different styles is a big artistic achievement, even if they fall short of the films sometimes.

If Gilgamesh is in KH, it should imply he is, indeed, the same Gilgamesh from FF, and thus unique among the FF cast.

Auron already did that, I believe.

I'm fairly certain it's just that this Auron has the same sort of backstory, not that he's outright the same person.

I'm pretty sure I heard clips that were lifted right from X in that doll's flashback scenes.

I knew I was forgetting someone...

I picked up a P Laystation 3 today, and a store near me is selling Kingdom Hearts 2.5 for cheap.

However I haven't played the first game , can someone tell me how important is it to play it before the sequel?

I played II first basically blind, and I turned out fine. You'll probably be really confused like I was, though, since several plot points from the first game return or are referenced.

At the very least if you buy 1.5, don't watch the Days movie until you beat II. It ruins the experience of the prologue.

Alright thanks.

I won't be getting it until Christmas anyway, and I already understand the basic premise of the game ^note Keyblades, disney crossover, some loveless Organisation that's apparently really popular in shiping fanfic . I suppose the only downside is getting spoiled on the events of the first game, but I can live with that.

You should probably stay away from this thread until you've caught up. We don't exactly hide much.

I've heard some people say that playing Days before II's prologue makes II much more memorable, but release order is probably best.

I really recommend I.5 before II 5, but still works well.

I'd say II's prologue works either way.

It depends on whether you'd prefer it to be a mystery, or full of dramatic irony.

I'd recommend watching a playthrough of KH1 on YouTube. This is a good one.

Don't get too attached to Roxas

Get very attached to Roxas.

Get so attached to Roxas it's creepy.

Make a shrine to Roxas.

...Okay, don't actually do that, but.
