I'm a long time casual fan since 2004. I beat the game and didn't know what to expect until the cliffhanger at the end of the game and the secret trailers. I remember seeing the game on GBA but ignored it since a lot of games that got ported on there were essentially the same but with minor differences. I couldn't have been more wrong...Finally 2006 KH2 comes out and I have NO clue what the heck is going on. Who the heck was this new kid. Where was Sora and everyone else? I thought it was weird for the game to leave you in the dark. I figured I would find out more as I played. Only parts got explained but nothing explained of why they were sleep for a year. It's the end of the game and I still don't know what the heck happened.
I did some research after beating the game and I couldn't believe it. By skipping the GBA game that I thought was a port of the first one, I missed the most crucial parts of the story! I was so upset at myself. Mostly because I now have a strange perspective of certain characters of the game. I feel like I lost some important revelations and other first time experiences. Kind of like seeing the Star Wars prequels first. The best way I can explain it is that when we all see the KH3 trailers and news that pops up, we KNOW what all the things mean because we've waited for them for years. I feel like I spoiled my experience.
In any case, I'm only bringing this up because I am playing 1.5+2.5 on the PS4 and just beat Sora's story on Re:CoM. Obviously I played this on GBA about 12 years ago when I realized I skipped it but this opens up some old wounds lol.
Sorry I know that was drawn out.
Anyone else have any similar stories of skipping or catching spoilers of the series?
