Not really, most of the appeal IMO is seeing Disney characters interpreted through the jrpg lens. I never found the FF fan service to be nearly as fun and you can't get poo poo out of the narrative without being crazy about it. The gameplay isn't great either

It's a confusing as hell "plot" throughout and the gameplay/feel of the first one may put you off before you even really get going. most of Sora's moves have to be earned and he controls really poorly until you get some, and even then the game looks really kiddy but is also entirely capable of cheap bullshit

I think I'd be down for a plateau in graphical fidelity if it meant getting rid of stuff like texture/model pop-in and LOD scaling. I find that stuff way distracting.

I'm not sure we're ever gonna get rid of that because of software bloat always being ahead of hardware capacity.

KH1 is a really heartwarming story that follows the typical hero's journey and then almost every single aspect of it (if not *every* single aspect of it) gets retconned by future titles into this massively overcomplex shitheap of a plot with some neat gameplay and good music

if you don't mind the fact that nearly every world you go through is disney themed, and long cutscenes are either kiddy disney stuff or convoluted exposition... i guess the core action gameplay can be pretty fun and it's fine if you completely ignore the story.

I gave up on kingdom hearts after fighting Cerberus in the first one cause Sora controlled like crap and I didn't really want to do another gummi ship minigame. I was told to just jump to the second game but I'm not even sure it'd be worth it.

all i know about eromanga sensei is what people have said about it which is "it's by the author of Oreimo" and "it goes exactly where you think it does"

i have not seen oreimo but i know in the old zorak era of ADTRW even talking about it would get you probated i think (zorak was overcompensating for how little chill there was at the time and how much handwringing there was over every problematic element of each scene of each episode of each anime of each season)

the "my sister is _____!" thing has died off a bit but there's still like one series every other season that tries that poo poo

it's been overtaken by every fourth anime being about a nerd who gets trapped in an MMO

The gameplay is still fun I think but I can't imagine what else you'd get out of it if you aren't into Disney. It's the entire appeal of the games.

Although if you don't like the idea of hanging out in the 100 Acre Woods with Winnie the Pooh you can go straight to hell :colbert:

Yeah both of those are problems though they're a bit alleviated later in the game. After the first few worlds you get an unlock so you don't have to repeat gummi ship levels anymore, and Sora continues to get better and easier to play as you unlock more moves. Still it's the most awkward of the series in a few ways. I wouldn't worry about doing them in any particular order though since the story interplay is a trash fire. If you have to pick only one then I'm guessing BBS is probably the best choice.
