dead sun's Journal: Kingdom Hearts 2

Well, I went and used one of my Christmas gifts, a gift card to GameStop, to subsidise a portion of Kingdom Hearts 2. I started playing over the weekend, and well, when is the last time you've played a game with a three hour introduction/prologue sort of thing?

Oh, and then my

I've the first one and the GBA one as well. The first one wasn't too difficult, though I never did beat Sephiroth. I haven't beaten Chain of Memories on the GBA yet, I got stuck on the Riku after the final world and before the castle. So I have a few more bosses to go after that I assume, though I'm pretty close to the end. Still, the first three hours seem to refer to quite a bit that's happened with Chain of Memories, so maybe I'll try to invest the time into power leveling for a bit and try big Mr. Riku
