No it's a very babyish game
Yes it's perfectly fine.
Childish?
I was on gamespot when In the kingdom hearts forum two guys had an argument one said that kingdom hearts was a "baby game" while the other defended it and said it wasn't.
Personally I don't think it's a baby game it just has a few off moments.
What do you all think?

Yeah thats What I meant corny I disliked the whole bit with winnie the pooh.Originally Posted by Balthier Rocks
its a great game, and while playing it, its seriouse, becuase it takes itself seriously. but when you step back and look at it, not so much. any seriouse conversaion is inevetably punctured by a 'gooorsh' or 'ayuk'. one of the majoy villians in the game, pete, i find impossble to find in any way threatening aside from delevering some corney dialog befor waddeling off and doing somthing comicle like tripping over a banana peel on the way. even the new kh's 3 trailer, which i thought was very well done and had my full atention, even feeling pity and emotion towards the knights that are obviosuly good seen so completly and effortlessly beaten, and even see one of them get cuaght by the back of the head, gets his helmet crushed, turend to ice and tossed down a hill to only just bearly be cuaght by another, was ruined at the very end by mickey standing far away, looking on, with his brightly colored key blade topped with a cute little star, trying his best to look angry and menesing, and failing missarably. disconected me from all emotion i had perviously, to be relpaced with 'wow, that looks kind of dumb'. Anyways, as i said, playing the game, it all makes perfect sence and is seriosue, becuase you accept that cloud and hurcules are running around in the same world, as you trounce through the winnie the pooh story book, but after you put the controler down, your not exactly going to walk away feeling that you just experianced somthing truley epic and thrilling. and its only worse for the people who havent sat down and played it. they just see sephiroth and goofy, and other people running around with giant keys talking about the darkness in peoples hearts. not hard to see why some people make early assumptions of it.
It is a very serious game, IMO.
It is a game for kids. The game is really 99% influenced by Disney, but scattered with a few FF characters and battle style to lure in some Square fans (or maybe, to train the next generation into becoming Square fans themselves). Every world and every playable character except for one is either original or Disney-themed. While it's no Dora the Explorer, I wouldn't recommend it anyone over 15 unless they're into Disney or want some Disney nostalgia.
KH2 is a little more serious than its predecessor, sure, but that's like saying a beetle is a little bigger than an ant. They even censored it for US audiences (I believe that they changes something to do with the Fire spell), something I've very rarely seen outside a SNES game. They wouldn't do that if it was aimed at adults. My prognosis: While I like the KH series, I would definitely agree with the guy who called it a baby game.

Yes, because someone stabbing themselves in the heart is for babies >.>
Here is what the guy who said it was childish said exactly.
Yeah but I disagree because even though it has final fantasy characters in it is a very immature game for instance at some point seifer says something completely out of character which sounds like it is to please under 13s
The fact that you go through the game with goofy and donald duck dosen't help either and the main character uses a "keyblade" because swords may frighten younger audiences.
Plus spells like fire have been renamed because of blatent "don't play with fire kids" instructions to mind.
I mean you go to a magical world and help winnie the pooh and the little mermaid is very corny and off putting and they have only pinned on a few more mature characters so the older audience feels a bit more with it.
And the ease of the game is awful even a young child could complete the gamewithout a game over which is ridiculous.
Basicaly its final fantasy for little kids with a few badly played mature characters thrown in to improve sails.
I just hope kingdom hearts 3 is much more mature because I'm surprised that sources say the game will be universal age rating which obviously means that it will be even more babyish.
That was this other guys argument Which I disagree with completely.
They use Keyblades due to the plot.
And if that guy is using a statement said by an un-important character to make his point, he clearly has no real argument.
i agree with these points of the guys argument. though, he dosent give any redeaming qualitys to the game,which shows hes just out to make it look bad, not give it a really fair judgement.. The gameplay for example. While the game is easy, even on proudmode, the gameplay works well. I often found myself ignoring most of the cheesy 'you must get ride of the darkness in your heart' and just played the game.
No blood, no dying, therefore you can't really call it stabbing. They didn't even refer to it as stabbing, just "unlocking the heart's power" or something like that. Plus I think we've already established that "baby" in this sense is not literal, just aimed at younger audiences compared to other games out there.
I think the guy who said that hadn't actually played it, just seen some screenshots/videos and made assumptions, since his argument is too poor to be attributed to crappy debating skills alone. That doesn't mean, however, that there is no argument. The game still lacks maturity. For example, keyblades are the primary weapon for Sora/Riku/Roxas etc., instead of being an auxiliary tool not used for combat, but still imperative to the plot.

So they carry around swords, which do no damage to Heartless or Nobodies whatsoever, AND Keyblades to unlock Doors, Keyholes etc., just so they can fight with swords instead of Keyblades?
That's genius there.
Not true. Aladdin and Auron both wield swords, and can do damage to Heartless/Nobodies when in your party. Leon is technically a swordsman, but is somehow capable of fighting Heartless without being outnumbered. Riku used a sword in Chain of Memories, and killed many a Heartless, not to mention Lexaeus, a major Nobody. And, if you play KH1 from Hollow Bastion, after Riku steals your Keyblade, you'll see the Wooden Sword does a very small amount of damage to the Heartless. Keyblades just happen to frighten the Heartless, which they could do if they were, say, a necklace or something similar.
Knowing your topic before you enter a debate is very important.

OK
So they carry around swords, which do hardly any damage to Heartless or Nobodies, AND Keyblades to unlock doors, Keyholes etc., just so they can fight with swords instead of Keyblades?
That's genius there.
And even if they were as effective as Keyblades, why would you want to take around more than they already have?
Cloud and squalls swords seemed to do just fine against heartless and whatnot in hollow bastion...
The game developers could have easliy not have made the keyblade the main wepon of the game, using some other item or skill to unlock doors. It just looks better, and the parents that happen to walk by the tv while their 10 year old is playing wont be as alarmed to see a boy running around bashing things with a giant key, then hoisting a big sharp broadsword and decapitating everything.
Hehe, decaptitating...
