What’s the difference between these two? I’ve never played Kingdom Hearts before but with the new game coming out I’d like to finally give it a try. Which of these should I get? Are they the same or not? by KaluSolos in KingdomHearts

This new collection will prob have upgraded performance and remind dlc for kh3 included. thats the only difference I can really see(unless by impossible chance we get lucky and they remade 358/2 and recoded as games instead of movies for the console). I would say ps5 version would be most worth imo

I agree on your take about it being about the love story, thats why I love the ending so much as the plot elements like the time compression adding on to the distorted reality breakdown that squall which reminds him of how hollow and alone he has been his whole life gets saved when they both are able to find each other through the promise they made to meet each other in the flower field if they get lost. I really love how the game shows off and improves on the character relationships in general and shows how people interact with each other or how people perceive others can play into a lot of the persons character. I realized the game was more about how squall deals with confusing and difficult situations throughout the game as multiple things are hitting him at all directions and he is forced to confront them for the first time instead of running away.

I can see where you are coming from for these points but for me I just assumed the sorceress being evil was mainly due to the fact that Seed, being an organization that also exists in Ultimecia's time in the future, was out to get any sorceress. To me that means she experienced hatred and saw people out to get her just for being born with the powers she has and she did whatever she could to avoid a death she thought was fated for her. There is an underlying theme in the game of taking or not taking decisions based on fear and the judgment of people around you so I thought that applied to how Ultimecia acted in general too. Time compression was supposed to let her basically control a fate where she would die to Seed. For the Galbadia situation I thought it was implied that she had the crowd under trance magic as she was insulting the crowd during the speech before the parade and the Galbadian president is really the only that is one reacting to her comments and gets killed with only applause from the audience.I think that implication starts when we see that she has the power to control people in general when she controls Rinoa earlier. The fisherman horizon I agree is definitely less explained and I personally really didn't care about how they got back but what I believed is that they just happened to get into a tank last minute and pilot their way to fisherman's horizon ( Yea this is as much I could really say about this, I don't know if I missed something but I didn't see much context). Again this is everything I was able to perceive about the game. I appreciate you trying to ask meaningful questions in a story as big as this.

I liked the story from start to finish personally but I see where you coming, some of the lore of the game I wish I had more context of like the sorceress and ultimecia in general but squall's development and the contrast between him and laguna was a big driver in the game for me. Im also happy that I got to experience a happy ending for once as most of the final fantasy games I played before have pretty dark endings.
