For years I put this series off because it just seemed to “kiddy.” I mean a kid with a key sword with a party of Donald and Goofy go through the worlds of Little Mermaid and z Winnie the Pooh while mixing it with very dumbed down Final Fantasy characters. Not something teen me wanted anything to do with. 34 year old me though said sure it has to have a rabid fan base for a reason, right.
The first hour or so my teen self was right. The characters have corny lines and there are way too many 3rd grade level scenes. However once you first leave traverse town and head to the world of Alice and Wonderland the game flips and clicked for me. It becomes a highly enjoyable action RPG with simple but solid and enjoyable battles, wonderful Disney characters and worlds to explore, and some of the greatest music video games have been blessed with. The gameplay is as I said simple but fun. It is never overly complicated as you have a regular attack with a few combos and 4 elemental spells, a heal spell, a defense spell, and a stop spell. It easy enough for anyone to pick up but designed well enough for it to be entertaining for anyone as well.
The worlds of Disney while fairly small are vibrant and fun to explore. It is fun interacting with all of the lovable Disney characters as well as the stripped down version of Final Fantasy characters. The story was surprisingly very good. I have always heard how confusing the story gets and was happy to see it doesn’t get overly confusing right off the bat in the first game. I was also glad to see it was a story was it’s own thing based around Sora Riku and Kairi involving the Disney and Final Fantasy characters and not just some kind of Disney or Final Fantasy regurgitated story.
The star of the first game for me was the music. Every single track oozes with charm and creativity matching the story, world, character, or moment. This game will definitely be added to my list of favorite OSTs list.
I know most people that wanted to play this game already has but if you haven’t and you are a fan of Disney or action RPGs stop what your doing and play this classic wonderful gem.
