Playing Kingdom Hearts is kind of tedious but it's the first game of a series that I really love. There's a charm to this one that I feel like isn't in the other games, with them really going "no, see, we're fusing Disney characters with Final Fantasy characters and having our own original story, see?" and really having to sell that concept.

That said, the gameplay can be really really awkward for an action RPG and every other games improves combat. But it's still really, really good.
