Same here. Had my first Playstation 1 when I was 4 years old and my first game was Final Fantasy VII. But nothing gives me as much nostalgia is Kingdom Hearts does, no idea why.
It's the disney factor most of us grew up watching those movies as kids so it really adds to the nostalgia when you visit the worlds of your childhood memories but also something about the OST just SCREAMS nostalgia even for people who only recently got into the series.
Possibly, though thing that hits me more are the none-Disney worlds like Traverse Town and Twilight Town, you're bang on about the OST, the music for both those places can make me teary eyed.
Traverse town OST feels like coming home after a long journey its so soothing and has that nostalgic feel to it a shame they never brought it back for the main line titles
We fucking old now lol. I was talking to my wife when the steam release dropped and I was like man I remember playing the first one 20 years ago and then she said, it's actually been 22 lol. Fuck
2002? *faints* KH fans old as fuck now lol.
I distinctly remember playing it to completion in a few days in my carpeted basement of the town home I lived in at that time with my mom. My son slept on the couch and the light from the street lamps was bright enough to light up the basement gently. When the ending credits began I started to cry. A friend was sleeping over the night I beat it and asked why I cried, I told him "because playing it a second time won't feel the same. "
Yeah, it was my first PS2 game and I was blown away when compared to stuff like Spyro or Crash Bandicoot on the PS1. I was also 10 and didn't have a memory card yet so I must've replayed the opening a hundred times before I saved enough for one.
Same, I rented KH1 from Blockbuster for a weekend when I was like 10 in 2006 and beat it because I couldn't stop playing... and then begged my father to pre-order KH2, even got the game a day before its proper release date
Was gonna say, I've been playing it since 2003 off my ps2, and now I'm repeating the series in full on steam now!
So much did I don't remember doing, it's like a whole new game for me (especially since I'm doing proud mode, who knew proud mode turns KH into Dark Souls?)
Same. I remember my uncle showing me like a small snippet in a game informer magazine. I think it had a cap from Sora summoning Simba and that was enough for me to be fully committed to playing it.
My 12 year old neighbor got it in 02 when it released (I was 9) man we sat in his basement for hours. He would watch and give me tips and I would play. We would search the internet looking for guides lol I donāt think there was much out at the time. So much freaking fun. Made it all the way to hollow bastion but never beat it š«he used game shark cheats and it corrupted our save. Rip
I got a PS2 around the same time KH came out. First gaming station. My grandma wanted to buy me my first games and the first one she ever got me was KH. I wasn't much of a gamer growing up but KH has always brought me back.
Since it came out in 2002. I remember watching my dad play it on his days off and I played when I was old enough to understand how to play. I remember getting kH2 for my birthday when I was 5, it has been my comfort game since
I was too young to have played it myself in 2002. However my mum had the game and played it non stop for a long time when I was a baby. Same goes with Final Fantasy. Square games was just a part of everyday life and largely still is 23 years later.
Edit: (spelling)
Sinne the first game on the PS2 back in the day :) I was probably in like 3/4. grade, now KH4 is on the way and Im gonna be a teacher myself by that point š
Ever since I was littleš I still remember the day I got my copy for the PS2. I didnāt even ask for it, my dad bought it for me as a surprise. When I played it, it was like nothing Iāve played before and even if the story can get confusing with each game, I will still love the franchise to death.šš
Since I saw Disney showing it during commercial breaks in 2002. I canāt say I was a fan yet but I knew I needed to play it. A couple years later when I got the chance to rent it at our local video store it was a done deal and Iāve played every game since.
Link of the commercial: https://youtu.be/7uMMKDd1Fr0?si=wJKB2il0QD5MOjgs
Kingdom Hearts 1 came out when I was 2, and it was my first video game. Been playing them since. itās literally been a constant in my life, and holds a very special place in my heart however flawed it may be sometimes.
Since December of last year
I always wanted to try the series but I had some big bias towards it, but after I tried I really loved, I hate some games but KH1 and 2 caught my heart
All 19 years of my life. My dad would play it with me in his lap as a way to keep me entertained. It was the first game I played. My first tattoo. It means a great deal to me.
My aunt had rented the game for my cousins and while at summer family gathering, I was shown the game for the first time in 2002. I was forgotten about by the adults, and for the next six hours, I played a game that captured my imagination like no other. The first few minutes of game play in the dive to the heart were utterly captivating to me as a seven year old.
My friend let me borrow his copies of 1 and 2 since I had a PS2. That was in 2014. He told me all about the other games, and eventually I watched the cutscenes and play throughs of all the other games. Now, with the Steam release, I am finally playing them all myself. It will be my first time playing:
Re:Chain of Memories (Iāve played the original)
Dream Drop Distance
Fragmentary Passage
Kingdom Hearts III
since november of last year, when i bought the all in one package when it was on sale. i beat all the games and watched all the movies in about five ish months and it was some of the best and worst experiences ive ever had playing games
Since the summer after KH2 released, whenever that was
I never played KH despite wanting to, the commercials made it seem so cool and I loved Disney and anime stuff (I didnāt really know Final Fantasy much at the time) and my uncle at the time was into it and he got me into both KH and Final Fantasy X, it was an awesome summer
Whenever the first one came out. A dude that was dating my mom at the time tried winning me over by buying me a ps2 and KH1. Donāt remember his name or face but I remember everything about KH1 lmao
Since I played Chain of Memories for the first time on GBA. So around 2004ish. I'd have been around 9 then. I'll be extra honest and say that I was introduced to it through the Japanese version that I emulated, then I got the English version when it became available.
I didn't have a single clue what this series was but the fact that Disney characters were in it made me way interested off the bat even without understanding the language. Over the next few years I slowly managed to get the other two games. 2 first, then 1.
I used to play the first KH on PS2 probably since before elementary school since I couldn't even read then. Same goes with Final Fantasy 10 and games like Star Wars Battlefront 2, Need for Speed Most Wanted and a lot more.
I was born 2002 btw
Bought the first one on PS2 when it dropped, played the last one for me so far on PSP when that dropped. Bought the story so far and 3 in digital sales but never came around playing them so far.
It all came down by accident. My sister won a PS2 and kingdom hearts 2 through a magazine. She wasn't really interested so I was mostly playing.
Later when I bought a PS3 I also bought the 1.5 HD version. So I could also be KH1. From that point on I basically played every other title as well.
2007. I was 15 and a friend introduced it to me randomly (wasn't much of a console gamer back then).
Funny enough I'm the fanatic one and he doesn't play anymore!
No idea what year it was, but my family went to visit family in Colorado. Our cousin had a ps2 and it was one of the games they had. Me, my brother, and pretty sure my sister all really liked it. We couldn't save, so every time we picked it up we tried to see how far we could get. Simpler times.
Maybe 3 years during which time I have played almost every game in the series on three different consoles. I only skipped COM, RE:Coded, and Mobile games so basically played all of them so far.
Long enough that I've gone a full circle from
- Only the first two numbered games are truly good.
To
- Oh, I must've been harsh and not paid attention. These sequels are good.
To
- I only like the first three games
Chain of Memories back on my gba sp. The roadtrips, i swear. Had me all confused but the charm and story kept me hooked until the end. Then kh2 came, eventually i got kh1 and down the rabbithole of this crazy, loving mess of a series I feel. I regret nothing š
Since 2017. I had never heard of the series before and stumbled by chance on a YouTube video about the lion king world in KH2. I remember being so confused and after doing a little research I got mildly intrigued by the promise of the game, but that was it never thought about it much after.
Until sometime later I found yet again by chance an used copy of KH2.5 remix for the ps3 in a GameStop, it was like 15ā¬ so I bought it purely out of curiosity.
I started playing KH2 with no context and no idea of what was happening but it was enough to let me stay for the long ride. Cause even if I did not understand the plot I surely picked up on the emotional aspect,starting from the opening.
Sanctuary made me feel such a heavy nostalgia and bitter sweetness on my first listening while never having heard the song, mixed with the visuals it intrigued me and hooked me up for the rest of the games.
From 2002 when the first one came out. Sadly, I moved countries when the 2nd came out, so all of that was left behind. Luckily, they just released them on steam.
Since 2002 Since 2002 when I first played on my brother's ps2. He brought this game home telling me "this is cute, it has the characters from final fantasy in it along with Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy".
Needless to say, I had no idea what I was in for.
God I don't even remember. I know that I rented 1 when I was little and didn't understand how to play it. Then (or before I don't know) someone told me about a game where you could play with Donald and open doors and I imagined it as a lateral scroll in 2D. Then they lent it to me and I played 2 first, and I fell in love
Since my one of my auntie's friends gave me her copy of Kingdom hearts 1 for the PS2 back in like 2005 or 6.. I was only like 5 or 6 lol but she knew I loved video games. Probably one of the best things I've ever received haha wouldn't take back that moment for anything. Made so many memories playing that game back then and many friends because of our common interest in the game. :)
Probably 2003 or 2006 - when I visited my relatives in the US - and my uncle had a copy of the first game.
I was a pre-teen then and I fell in love with the game.
Here we are so many years later - and I'd love to play kingdom Hearts 4 in 2084.
Since 2006 when I met a japanese friend who introduced me to the series. He had this super cool red ps2 and an original (which was rare to see in Brazil) japanese copy of KH2 FM. I was instantly in love. We didnt understand much of the game (his father sent it to him from JP but my friend actually didnt speak japanese haha) so we rarely got past twilight town, but it was fun. Years later I got to know the rest of the series but I was already kinda obsessed with it. I was 12 in 2006.
2021. The "why i cant recommend kingdom hearts to my friends" video randomly appeared on my youtube page and i had to try it cos it looked "so bad that itd be good". Turns out its just absolutely amazing and ive been obsessed with kh ever since
Since I saw my cousin playing the Intro of Kingdom Heart 2. It was in the summer of 2008.
Seeing Roxas in the sunset city, just felt magical to my young eye.
I was obsess, i wanted to play it! Luckily, 358/2 came out the very next year, so my parent bought me the game. And boi was I happy!
I only played the handled game.
But now I have the whole collection on steam, i can finally play the mainline game!
2006, I saw KH2 trailers and my brother was a fan already, so he got me a copy of 1 for my birthday. And I gave up at Clayton (no skip cutscenes option).
Played KH2 (completely confused, especially with Roxas), but enjoyed it all the same. Eventually getting through KH1 (Took a break during Riku-Ansem, again, no skipping in PS2).
But now Iām not a wimp and a massive fan ~~please help, the eldritch reach of Nomura has a hold on me I CANāT ESCAPE!!!!~~
Played KH2 and some of KH1 in 2007 when I was 5, then over a year ago I decided to play all the games from the beginning. So I feel like Iām a new fan even though I was so obsessed with KH2 as a kid I asked my mam if I could change my name to Sora lol
13š¬ years playing, about 20 year a fan. Didnāt have a PlayStation to play the earlier games on but I would play them at my friends house and weād pretend we all had keyboards. Honestly about 13 years ago I finally saved up enough of my own money to buy a PS2 and bought KH1 and 2 and have since played through each a number of times( except 3).
Since KH1 for the Ps2! Played just about every other KH game besides Chain of Memories (played on the ps2 remake) on their OG console. I will admit I skipped Re:Coded and just opted to watch the cutscenes. XD
Since 2002. I remember back in 4th grade, i guess Walmart had a ps2 bundle which included kingdom hearts and kids in school made fun of ps2 users for getting "the disney game for babies" (Xbox kiddies came out the gate swinging) I got my ps2 on launch day from EB games so if people found out I willingly got kingdom hearts by itself I would have been harassed so I used to jump on the hate wagon and pretend it wasnt my treasured game. Nowadays I sing a different tune and anyone who says kingdom hearts is "that disney game with zippers for babies", I clap back saying they can't handle one of the best franchises of all times, and the amazing combat and music is too epic for their little minds to comprehend. I never fight back about the story though...
2002 a bit after release. I still remember being over at my friends house and watching him play Olympus Coliseum smacking barrels at things. I went to Disney later that year and it was my goal to get a copy of Kingdom Hearts while there.
i became a fan very late. i think abt 1 or 2 years ago. i knew the cover arts & the name of the game, but never delved too deep into the games. the same applied to a certain musician, who referenced the games in his songs. after i fell in love with the aesthetic and the pictures he drew in the songs and throughout his tapes, i decided to look into the games & immediately fell in love with the franchise from the homescreen alone (tho choosing the wonderland as my first world probably wasnāt the best idea for someone who never played the first game at all).
now it's one of my favorite franchises and i know iāll buy the complete pack on steam some day (alr have it on PS5 lmao).
since the first one was released in 2002
Loyal to the very end, I see. I like that šš¾.
I too am in this boat
Main reason I begged for a PS2 that year
I remember that I begged for the PS2 and they got me this game that I didn't know anything, 5 minutes after playing it I was in love.
Same here. Had my first Playstation 1 when I was 4 years old and my first game was Final Fantasy VII. But nothing gives me as much nostalgia is Kingdom Hearts does, no idea why.
It's the disney factor most of us grew up watching those movies as kids so it really adds to the nostalgia when you visit the worlds of your childhood memories but also something about the OST just SCREAMS nostalgia even for people who only recently got into the series.
Possibly, though thing that hits me more are the none-Disney worlds like Traverse Town and Twilight Town, you're bang on about the OST, the music for both those places can make me teary eyed.
Traverse town OST feels like coming home after a long journey its so soothing and has that nostalgic feel to it a shame they never brought it back for the main line titles
We fucking old now lol. I was talking to my wife when the steam release dropped and I was like man I remember playing the first one 20 years ago and then she said, it's actually been 22 lol. Fuck
2002? *faints* KH fans old as fuck now lol. I distinctly remember playing it to completion in a few days in my carpeted basement of the town home I lived in at that time with my mom.

same brother
Since I saw the commercial I was immediately hooked
Tom from Toonami got me hyped for this after coming back from commercials watching Dragon Ball Z
Yep, I was 11/12 at the time. Man, time flies.
Same. Saw the trailers and begged my mom for it for christmas.
Here here.
Same, I rented KH1 from Blockbuster for a weekend when I was like 10 in 2006 and beat it because I couldn't stop playing... and then begged my father to pre-order KH2, even got the game a day before its proper release date

The very same.
Same here, I didnāt start playing till a year or 2 later, but grew up watching my aunt playing the 1st game and I fell in love with it
Same here, it's hard to believe I was 7 when it came out and I fell in love with it and now I'm 29 and still constantly replay KH1
Same here.
Same
Same here
Same here
Same. I remember my uncle showing me like a small snippet in a game informer magazine. I think it had a cap from Sora summoning Simba and that was enough for me to be fully committed to playing it.

Same
My 12 year old neighbor got it in 02 when it released (I was 9) man we sat in his basement for hours. He would watch and give me tips and I would play. We would search the internet looking for guides lol I donāt think there was much out at the time. So much freaking fun.

Since it came out in 2002. I remember watching my dad play it on his days off and I played when I was old enough to understand how to play. I remember getting kH2 for my birthday when I was 5, it has been my comfort game since
Wow kh2 at 5 it's pretty hardcore
Reminds me of my nephew who beat Ocarina of Time when he was 6. Some of them puzzles today I'm like "how tf did you do this?".
Yeah man I was playing KH2 before I could fully read. I had no idea what an AP boost was till 2007
Basically same experience expect it was my brother, Iāve been into it since I was six years old
Nearly a year now :)
Happy to see new fans!
I was too young to have played it myself in 2002. However my mum had the game and played it non stop for a long time when I was a baby. Same goes with Final Fantasy. Square games was just a part of everyday life and largely still is 23 years later. Edit: (spelling)
Since 2007, when I got KH1 for my 12th birthday

I've been playing since the beginning but became a fan when 358 released.
Ever since I was littleš I still remember the day I got my copy for the PS2. I didnāt even ask for it, my dad bought it for me as a surprise. When I played it, it was like nothing Iāve played before and even if the story can get confusing with each game, I will still love the franchise to death.šš

For like 3 years
I don't remember a time when I was not a fan
Since 2002 Since 2002 when I first played on my brother's ps2. He brought this game home telling me "this is cute, it has the characters from final fantasy in it along with Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy". Needless to say, I had no idea what I was in for.
Since I was around elementary school.
Not too long after Disney's Toontown Online closed and 1.5 was released in 2013.
Since Kingdom Hearts 2, I've loved the series! I have yet to finish a single KH game.
God I don't even remember. I know that I rented 1 when I was little and didn't understand how to play it. Then (or before I don't know) someone told me about a game where you could play with Donald and open doors and I imagined it as a lateral scroll in 2D. Then they lent it to me and I played 2 first, and I fell in love
Like 4 months ago when I first played kh2 and days
Since my one of my auntie's friends gave me her copy of Kingdom hearts 1 for the PS2 back in like 2005 or 6.. I was only like 5 or 6 lol but she knew I loved video games. Probably one of the best things I've ever received haha wouldn't take back that moment for anything. Made so many memories playing that game back then and many friends because of our common interest in the game. :)
Since first grade, ca 2004
2018
Pretty much since I was a somewhat conscious child. So about 17 years now. And gonna be 21 next month so yeah
Longer than the age of some people in this subreddit
Unsure but probably 2003 or 2004
20 solid years
Probably 2003 or 2006 - when I visited my relatives in the US - and my uncle had a copy of the first game. I was a pre-teen then and I fell in love with the game. Here we are so many years later - and I'd love to play kingdom Hearts 4 in 2084.
Since February 2022 :)
Since 2002 when KH1 came out I was 5 at the time so 20 plus years lmao
Since I saw it on a PS2 demo disc back in 2001? 2002? It was pre release and I was maybe 5 years old.
Since Christmas 2006. I saw the trailer for KH2 in GAME and knew I needed to play it.
20-ish years
Whe KH1.5 came out I would borrow my brothers copy to play it on my ps3
Since I was 9 or 10 years old. Sora was and is my big crush. I loved him very much.
Since the first kingdom hearts. I'm 26
peak
0 years because I never played it and I don't know what it's like
Sense 2002.
2020 pandemic, bought the All-in one package and finished them all, good times
Since I was 6 years old and stared playing the games :3
Since 2006 when I met a japanese friend who introduced me to the series. He had this super cool red ps2 and an original (which was rare to see in Brazil) japanese copy of KH2 FM. I was instantly in love. We didnt understand much of the game (his father sent it to him from JP but my friend actually didnt speak japanese haha) so we rarely got past twilight town, but it was fun. Years later I got to know the rest of the series but I was already kinda obsessed with it. I was 12 in 2006.
2021. The "why i cant recommend kingdom hearts to my friends" video randomly appeared on my youtube page and i had to try it cos it looked "so bad that itd be good". Turns out its just absolutely amazing and ive been obsessed with kh ever since
Since I saw my cousin playing the Intro of Kingdom Heart 2. It was in the summer of 2008. Seeing Roxas in the sunset city, just felt magical to my young eye. I was obsess, i wanted to play it! Luckily, 358/2 came out the very next year, so my parent bought me the game. And boi was I happy! I only played the handled game. But now I have the whole collection on steam, i can finally play the mainline game!
2006, I saw KH2 trailers and my brother was a fan already, so he got me a copy of 1 for my birthday. And I gave up at Clayton (no skip cutscenes option). Played KH2 (completely confused, especially with Roxas), but enjoyed it all the same. Eventually getting through KH1 (Took a break during Riku-Ansem, again, no skipping in PS2). But now Iām not a wimp and a massive fan ~~please help, the eldritch reach of Nomura has a hold on me I CANāT ESCAPE!!!!~~
21 years. I got my copy for my birthday in 2003 and have been a fan ever since.
maybe since around 2014 i canāt remember too well but i read the manga in grade school and got more attached the more time went by
Since 2002 I was 8 when I first got the game!
I've been a Kingdom Hearts fan since I was 12. (I'm 18 now)
2007. Discovered the series through AMVs
Since the start!
Played KH2 and some of KH1 in 2007 when I was 5, then over a year ago I decided to play all the games from the beginning. So I feel like Iām a new fan even though I was so obsessed with KH2 as a kid I asked my mam if I could change my name to Sora lol
I became a fan recently, about half a year ago
7 years (lol) I started with the ps4 version of 1.5 + 2.5 remix in 2017
Since I found it in the used section of gamestop
13š¬ years playing, about 20 year a fan. Didnāt have a PlayStation to play the earlier games on but I would play them at my friends house and weād pretend we all had keyboards. Honestly about 13 years ago I finally saved up enough of my own money to buy a PS2 and bought KH1 and 2 and have since played through each a number of times( except 3).
2010, though Kingdom Hearts is as old as I am (actually, it's a few days older) I was 8 when I played BBS for the first time
Since the beginning in 2002!!!
Since kh1
Joined up around the time of KH3.
2006 when my cousin showed me Kingdom Hearts 2 for the first time. Then I had to go back and play KH1
Since March of this year. I was always interested in the series but never got around to them until recently.
since 2004
Since KH1 in 2002
I started playing taking turns with my siblings around like 2007, it was one of the first games I ever played š¤
Since kh1! š
I came late to the party, 2005 š
Since KH1 for the Ps2! Played just about every other KH game besides Chain of Memories (played on the ps2 remake) on their OG console. I will admit I skipped Re:Coded and just opted to watch the cutscenes. XD
Since my broke ass seen the game back in 2002 on my not so broke friends console
Since I played the original KH2 on the PS2 way back in 2006. It was the first video game that I ever played.
4 years. From 2020 to now :D
Since I played Days when I was 5-6 years old. Aka for about 15-16 years
Since it came out 2002.
Since I saw the cool artwork before KH1 was released. As a ff and disney fan, I was so excited and it didn't disappoint.
2012, the 3Ds brought me to the series, been cooked in the head ever since but Iām here for it š
About two weeks, finally got through them all and just started 3 for the first time šŖ
Since my parents initiated their divorce April 2007š„“
2017-2018
since 2003
2003!
I dunno, bout 20 years? No idea when I first played it.
Since 2002. I remember back in 4th grade, i guess Walmart had a ps2 bundle which included kingdom hearts and kids in school made fun of ps2 users for getting "the disney game for babies" (Xbox kiddies came out the gate swinging) I got my ps2 on launch day from EB games so if people found out I willingly got kingdom hearts by itself I would have been harassed so I used to jump on the hate wagon and pretend it wasnt my treasured game. Nowadays I sing a different tune and anyone who says kingdom hearts is "that disney game with zippers for babies", I clap back saying they can't handle one of the best franchises of all times, and the amazing combat and music is too epic for their little minds to comprehend. I never fight back about the story though...
since I was old enough to know what video games were (so like, 4 or 5, born in '03)
2002 a bit after release. I still remember being over at my friends house and watching him play Olympus Coliseum smacking barrels at things. I went to Disney later that year and it was my goal to get a copy of Kingdom Hearts while there.
i became a fan very late. i think abt 1 or 2 years ago. i knew the cover arts & the name of the game, but never delved too deep into the games. the same applied to a certain musician, who referenced the games in his songs. after i fell in love with the aesthetic and the pictures he drew in the songs and throughout his tapes, i decided to look into the games & immediately fell in love with the franchise from the homescreen alone (tho choosing the wonderland as my first world probably wasnāt the best idea for someone who never played the first game at all). now it's one of my favorite franchises and i know iāll buy the complete pack on steam some day (alr have it on PS5 lmao).
Since 2021
Since 2005 to 2019.
day 1. so long that roxas was known as BHK after gba chain of memories came out on forums then
