I truly cannot express how big of a life saver this video is. Thank you truly doesn’t cover it. I have recently started the KH journey and I was really struggling with this game and sadly thinking of skipping it but I figure I need to give it a chance so I looked for a video to help and when I say this video was honestly 10/10 amazing. You explained everything so well and now I can actually try and play the game without wanting to die.

I remember playing the OG GBA version when I was a kid. Man, I have NO IDEA how I got through it. Between not knowing the story because it was my first KH introduction (I didn’t know any out the PS2 game, just saw the commercial for CoM and fell in love with the idea), the card system, my first RPG-esk game etc etc. It’s a wonder I still kept my love for KH after that. Now I’m going through the series again and I’m dredding KH1 and KH Re:CoM

Kingdom Hearts is my favourite game, though admittedly I've never played this one. I got the bundle on PC, got to this one, played it for a couple of hours, and felt sooo sad because I hated the gameplay but was loving the story. I really didn't want to give up so I searched on YouTube for a guide and found your video. This has legit saved me, you explained everything so clearly and now I'm actually having fun. Thank you so much!

[satiatedghost]

This is low key the best COM guide I’ve found on YouTube — great job mate

[alexandermalin]

Great guide, really appreciate the help given the shock I've had going from KH 1.5 to reCOM.

[joelgil]

Bro literally you saved me, I was searching for a good guide (like this one) but with no success until I found this video, really thank you, appreciate

[EvanStreblow]

Thank you for the tutorial! Very thorough and helpful. I was definitely one of those people who played it when they were young, didn’t bother to try figuring out the tutorials, quit instantly because it made no sense, and never looked back (until now) haha.

[dinorex]

I understand that remaking the game was impossible without keeping the card system since they play a *huge* part in the storyline, and their presence is explained even story-wise, but MAN it's a shame that so many people dropped the game because of this. It has easily top 3 darkest and probably best storylines in the whole _Kingdom Hearts_ franchise.

[reddodeado]

Eyy, GBA representation, you love to see it.

[shroomdog]

Your tutorial was so good, it actually turned me around from being one of the people who quit after a 2 hours to someone who easily beat the game with Tornado and Fatal Frame. Final boss never stood a chance. :)

[AxelStrife]

This video is insanely helpful! I've made it through every world except Hollow Bastion so far and I'm only now truly starting to understand the mechanics. I almost quit the game several times up to this point.

[jacobmoux]

See, i knew there was a way to use enemy cards. I beat THE WHOLE GAME THINKING THEY WERE AUTOMATICALLY APPLIED

[goldenswat]

Amazing video, but my brain can't wrap my head around this game. It's like I just want to fight and not get all OCD with changing cards, and moving and matching numbers, and dodging

[xxDoomzDay]

Great video dude. Thanks for taking time to make this. I just picked up the remix on PC, and this guide has been a lot of help for me. I did not want to play this game at all until I went back and watched this video.

[vitormatos]

Perfect guide, perfect video editing AND you showed the gba version aswell, omg ty soooo much! And congratulations :)

[relaxedbatter]

why these games' tutorials suck so bad dude i wouldn't have had to make this if they were competent at teaching you

[slushii]

This was so much more helpful than I thought it would be. It makes me even more excited to progress and overpower my character

[hellogoodbyeandallinbetween]

Thank you. I was so confused about the exclamation point rooms and didn't want to miss anything!

[martinovitch_]

Thanks for the guide sir! As I’ve started by Wonderland I was kind of frustrated to not beat the boss. It’s a kind of difficult mechanic but your video helped me to understand it better. I will apply your advices and try to enjoy this game right now. Thank you !🙏
