I didn’t finish it as a kid, but I got through the first circuit of worlds in KH 1 fairly easy. I picked the game up again last summer so I could finish it and play through the whole series, and 19 year old me was borderline in tears on some of those boss fights. I was on normal mode. Thankfully I was playing Remix, so I didn’t have to hear every boss speech 40 times (“Ee oo, not Clayton!”), but it still felt bad man.
One day I’ll go through the games again and fight the secret bosses on hard, but thinking about the amount of grinding it’ll take makes me cry internally and curl into a ball.
That Clayton fight was also the reason I celebrated skippable cutscenes in FM. I picked it up again myself just for funsies, and I thought, “Hey. You’ve been doing some souls-likes and souls-lites. You can handle Kingdom Hearts of all things” before starting on Proud mode…
Sigh at least it’s not “Get up on the hydra’s back!” from 2. But unfortunately, I am a completions so still quite the grind. It will be worth it though. Right…?
Yup, KH = Kingdom Hearts. It’s more typical smack your enemies to death action, not turn-based. I think the only one that truly could be seen as a strategy game would be the card based side game, but that one is also still real time battle, not turn based.
Anyway, I’ve got a huge backlog of other games I gotta get through, so I probably won’t be replaying them anytime soon. But when I do, I will gladly relish in wiping the floor with Sephiroth and the lot 😌 just gotta git gud soon

I don’t know much about Kingdom Hearts (I hope that’s what you’re talking about). I don’t usually like RPG/Strategy stuff but it’s fascinating still.
Keep up the good grind, I’m sure it’ll be worth it 😅 plus you get all that good old nostalgia factor with it replaying it all over again.
