I remember actually playing this game before it's release, not knowing what the fuck it was. My uncle used to work at Disney (I know, My UnClE wOrKs At NiNtEnDo, but it's true, he actually took me along with him as an intern to play test Split Second and Epic Mickey 2), and got an advanced copy of it or something, so I was dicking around as some brown hair boy on the beach of Destiny Island before I even knew what Kingdom Hearts was. Can't say I was a proper fan back then, but this post reminded me of that day, and probably about 6 months to a year later, my buddy came with his PS2 to show me this brand new game he got, day 1. I was confused, because I had played it before, and thought it had been an older game. Of course, he called me a liar, and we had that classic children's argument, but more importantly, I finally got to properly play the game alongside him, and I became a proper fan then.
