What a difference an hour makes

rosa_heartlily So, three hours into FH1.5 and... I'm not 'in love' but I'm definitely looking forward to playing more. I've arrived at Wonderland (after two attempts at the flying/shooting mini game - why did nobody tell me about that particular irritation?) and am looking for evidence of Alice's innocence. I now have side-kicks but I have no idea what they actually do because I'm so focussed on hitting Heartless with my keyblade. I have abilities but don't know how to use them (I suspect they're in the left-hand menu, which I have so far largely ignored). Squall - sorry, Leon - beat me up so much that I had to grab a potion.
I also got so lost in the 'build a space ship tutorial' that I had to stop the game and restart it because I couldn't find another way out. I don't think I'll be investigating that again any time soon.
For the record, I want to state that I have been a gamer for over 20 years and am reasonably competent at life in general. But new battle/ability/menu systems take my brain some time to adjust to.
That's my excuse, anyway, and I'm sticking to it!
Anyway, the point of this post was to say that I am going to continue playing KH1.5.

It's possible to get through the entire game without upgrading, which is fortunate, because this game's been out for fifteen years and I still don't know how to construct a spaceworthy craft.
I was so pleased to see Squall in this game. I hope they bring in some more VIII characters for Kingdom Hearts III; I feel that Zell and Rinoa would fit right into the Kingdom Hearts universe. I'd love to see Balthier and Fran as well. And the entire cast of XIII. And XV. Wow, it didn't really hit me until just now, but it's definitely been far too long since the last major Kingdom Hearts instalment; these games don't contain any Final Fantasy characters past X!
