I remember being 10 and watching tv when the commercial came out. I begged my mom for the game and one day she came home with a PS2 and the game 😭 my life was forever changed. Thank you for the amazing video Sarah!

I just remember a lot of commercials of kingdom hearts specifically for the ds on disney channel and thought it looked so cool. I even saw some trailers and cutscenes from playstation and thought the game was incredible. I just had to play it, I only had a ds and saved my money and got recoded when I was 10 I think. It's funny because I didnt know what version to get because there was 3, and i wanted it to make sense, lol but it didnt. I still thought the series was incredible and tried to catch up by watching cutscenes. I didn't have a playstation so there was no way for me to play but I was a huge fan, my mom was against consoles on the tv. Flash forward to now I have a gaming laptop and bought the collection, and the 358/2 days for ds and fell in love even more. I finally got to play the game to its fullest that I never got to in my childhood. Especially 358. I cried when sora got announced in smash. Its also crazy to think I'm like 1 month older than KH. Kh was like a therapy for me when I was young because I got bullied so much,its the only game besides pokemon that i feel so deeply for.

I've been a lifelong Disney fan, and one day in November 2002, my brother asked me if I had heard of the new game Kingdom Hearts. I actually hadn't because during my teen years, I was obsessing over boybands and wrestling too much to notice anything else at the time lol. So he told me it was a Disney game. He showed me a little bit of it where he was in Neverland and then told me I could use his PS2 and a different save file to play. I ended up loving it so much he just let me keep the game and the PS2, and the rest is history 😌

DDD trailer. Nuff said. I was 12. I’m gonna be 23 in September

Thank you Kingdom Hearts for changing my life, teaching me to spread kindness and help those around us, while also making sure to spend time on improving ourselves, happy 20 years and here's to many more! 💙

such a cute video! thank you for celebrating with us people of earth

You are the most adorable and wholesome Kingdom Hearts fan in the universe! This whole video made me smile a lot. I probably sound like a broken record at this point, but I'm going to tell you again anyway. I'm very thankful I came across your channel after KH3 was released. I've never really had friends or have known people who love Kingdom Hearts on the deep, passionate level that I do, so finding your channel and coming to your Twitch streams has been wonderful, because I found somebody I can relate to with how much I love this franchise (and other games!). I've loved KH since the very beginning when I was a wee little 17 year old, but only began to immerse myself into the online fandom with the KH3 hype. I don't feel alone anymore. Thank you for being a radiant light in this fandom, Sarah! Happy 20th to this magical series ♥

Kingdom Hearts was the reason I even knew about Final Fantasy. I got into it when I saw a commercial and thought all the disney characters were cool, and went to a Toys R Us one day and got a copy.

This was a very sweet trip down memory lane! I met my wife on a Kingdom Hearts fansite, so I will always care about it very much.

That’s awesome!

Kingdom Hearts has certainly changed my life - I was the same, it helped me get through times of anxiety, loneliness - because there were feeling in the game that could relate 🥲 I'm glad there are others who can relate - I thought I wouldn't meet anyone, but now I feel less alone!

Kingdom hearts was such a big part of my life and brings me so much nostalgia and happiness, i can’t believe the first one came out 20 years ago🤧💖

One crazy thing I noticed about the kh1 teaser trailer was that it hinted at Sora disappearing like in kh3. It's crazy to me that Nomura doesn't really seem to let go of concepts he's thought up over the years. He just repurposes them.

30:53 I couldn't stop laughing at this part. Kairi looks so funny, i'm glad they actually redid the models for the final version.

You're welcome for suggesting the KH1 Beta trailer to you 🙃 Seriously though, thanks for being such a relatable and awesome KH content creator!

Your Kingdome Hearts 3 playthrough was my introduction to you, you're one of my comfort creators ! I look forward to the next thing!

Oh wow! I rented KH1 from blockbuster when I was 12 years old. Fell in love from there after playing it non stop for 2 days. The challenge it gave when I was younger was something else. Would give anything to relive it.

I've mentioned this to you on twitter back then but when you said "even when i'm 90 years old" it made me think back to the adorable old lady I ran into after the kingdom hearts orchestra concert. She was the same age as my mom (64) and as I was heading back to my hotel room, she came up to me to talk about the concert and her memories with the games. She had a mickey mouse watch and even knew the may your heart be your guiding key lingo and everything and was so sweet. Heck I even met a middle age guy at my old bagger job at Kroger(instantly regretted the job) who had this sick kingdom hearts body tattoo, seeing people you'd never expect to be into the series is so great.

I know this is about the anniversary of KH and this comment may not been seen, but I also love the fact that you embraced yourself even more throughout the years and also you even became more confident with who you are as how you love the game. So happy I’m able to witness your growth and for giving me light during my difficult times. Thank you Sarah for teaching me how to love myself and Kingdom hearts even more 😄✨

Happy 20th anniversary to Kingdom Hearts and a great story through the whole game of the whole mission and goal objectives to save the story of Kira and Sora! ❤💙😁🙏🎮🕹

I was 13 years old when KH1 came out. I first got interested in playing the game when I saw a GamePro article prior to the game’s release. All I knew about it was that it was going to be a crossover between Disney and Final Fantasy and that was enough to make me interested. The trailers just reinforced my interest. I absolutely loved the game but what really cemented the idea that I was always going to follow the series to the end… was THAT FREAKING SECRET ENDING. I thought “Another Side, Another Story” was just the coolest thing ever. The game touched both action-lover in me and the classic Disney fan in me at the same time. From that point on, I played every single game in the series(except for a few of the hard-to-find ones like the V-Cast game and the original KHX). In fact, I might be one of about 5 or so people who actually played Chain of Memories… multiplayer. Yes, CoM on GBA had link cable multiplayer and I actually played it with my friend.

I remember when I first saw kh2 advertised on the telly with the theme "sanctuary" playing from there on then I i fell in love with the franchise and replayed it religiously after coming home from school, I'm 28 now and I've vowed to make sure I see this franchise to the very end! "We shall go together!"

I will never forget the day my mum got me KH for christmas and my smol child brain was completely fried seeing my 2 favorite things combined: Final Fantasy and Disney Playing through KH 1 back then was such a blast. The memories people talk about when they played the OG Legend of Zelda on the NES with the golden cartridge being like some treasure to carry over to a friends house, that's how i felt with that shiny game box of KH 1 which i thankfully still own to this very day. I sadly don't have so much time to follow all of your streams anymore but having found your channel like 4 or 5 years ago was one of the biggest things i am thankful for to KH and Nomura. You're one of the most genuine content creators of our time and the probably most wholesome one let's be honest :D I hope that we will both have many many more amazing KH years and anniversarys ahead of us and that you stay awesome the way you always have been!

Nomura needs to see this, this was so awesome to see ❤️

I came into this fandom, in late 2003-early 2004 about. Back then, during my high school years, I was really depressed, like severely, and often felt very alone a lot as I had so few friends and anxiety issues. I was at an old friends' house when I was 15 and she pulled out the *Kingdom Hearts* game and put it on her PS2. I found myself rather enraptured by it and eventually, I managed to borrow a copy of KH from another friend.. and I was so amazed at the storytelling, the aesthetic, the design, everything! I was sad when I finished playing this game and beat it, but this game, it really, as you had put it in the video, Sarah, "it was there for me" when I played it. Sora's character really spoke to me because he would've been someone I would love to have been best friends with, as I had yearned to be close to a friend for a very long time. I just loved him so much and this game as a whole. Cut to 2005 and to my absolute excitement, Kingdom Hearts 2 finally dropped!! I started to rent it from the local Hastings we had in town and rented it literally every weekend to play it. I even sat up really late on school nights playing it and I got in trouble xD. When my birthday came around that year, I finally got gifted a copy of KH2 for my PS2 and I could not have been any happier. I will tell you, When I had started to rent this game to play it, the very first time I turned it on and heard *Sanctuary* playing with the Intro Cinematic.. I knew right then and there, I would be a Kingdom Hearts fan for life. That Opening and song are both so incredibly iconic and nostalgic for me, it has forever been etched into my memory. Since then, I have been an avid Kingdom Hearts fan and I will likely be so, for the rest of my life. It was so heartwarming to see and hear and even feel, how deeply passionate you are for this game series and I am happy to know that you seem to love it so much, as much as I do and many of us other fans. I honestly believe, finding and playing this game back in high school, really helped me mentally and possibly kept me from doing things I would've ended up regretting. Also, no, I never beat Sephiroth in the first game, I tried xD (I was a terrible gamer tbh, I just kinda sucked at it LOL), but I did manage to beat him in KH2, despite it being on beginner mode. I have since gotten to be a semi-better gamer tho and I will go back one day and try to beat him on KH1 :P. Thank you for sharing your passion for this game series and being such a sweet, kind and caring youtuber ^_^. I'm happy I found your channel.

Visiting a friend and playing their copy with them was where I got into the game. I got up to Monstro, Along with the commercials. Recognized the disney gang, didn't know the final fantasy people were. I have remembered some early Kingdom Hearts 1, Chain of Memories GBA, and 358 days/2. I also still like to see those old interviews of Haley, David, Hayden , Brittney, Jessie, and other VAs do their interviews for Kingdom Hearts 2.

I remember I first played KH when I was about 9 with my cousin Kris. We just moved to West Virginia cause my grandma had a stroke and my mom was the only one that could take care of her. I played the heck outta the 1st one at my cousins house and asked for KH1 for Christmas. I got a copy of ReCoM instead and then eventually 1 and 2 on my birthday, which was KH themed and had a custom Sora cake. The best part is, I share my birthday with the game and didn't know til 3 years ago, so I technically celebrated my birthday and KH's. That game has carried me through times, places and phases in my life and has remained my favorite game series for 12 years. I turn 21 today and streamed a run of BBS and beat my record. I will never forget the franchise and want that game to resemble who I am. I love KH and always and forever will love it.

This video made my day! Thank you for that :) Kingdom Hearts was always such a big part of my life. I used to play it as a kid when I didn't want to hear my toxic parents arguing, so Kingdom hearts became my "safe place" for many years. It's still my favorite game and I'm so excited for new Kingdom hearts content ❤

"People collect rocks" Sarah 2014 Jokes aside, kingdom hearts is such an amazing franchise and you were one of the first kh youtubers I ever followed back when you were keybladsarah I was just really happy to see a kingdom hearts fan at the time I collected so much merch and I love the community so much!!! Happy 20 years to KH, may your heart be your guiding key :3

The dance pad Sephiroth battle is what brought me to your channel! So many great memories surround this game!

I’ve already commented, but I have to say I LOVE watching somebody talk about things that they love. That’s why I keep coming back to your channel, cause every time you talk about kingdom hearts you’re just so happy.

When Sora was announced for smash. I had to pull my work truck over, obviously was watching it live but I just started crying so bad because Ive wanted Sora in smash ever since I seen Sonic join the game. As a Kingdom Hearts fan, Happy 20th everyone. It's good to be here with everyone whose excited on the lv I am.

Yay! It's KeyweilderQueen here - what a special video, Sarah! 🥰 Thank you! 💕 Sora and KH is so special!

I don’t know if anyone remembers, but at Disneyland there was this things called Innoventions, where they debuted and kind of teased sci-fi futuristic type things and also like future games and things. (They had the coolest interior) I don’t know If this memory is real because I would have been 5 , but I swear I remember when we went as a family that year, to Disneyland, they had Kingdom Hearts as a playable demo at one of the booths, like a little intro thing, and this car with mini-tv screens in the seats, and a demo of a stitch game. From that moment on I was hooked, flash forward like two years and Me and my brother got it for Christmas. I was too young at first to play it so I would just watch him play, for hours. As we got lost in Atlantica, as We beat Sabor, and were both amazed and scared. We would stay up all night and play, and it was the best thing ever. Eventually I made friends where we would have pizza parties and try to beat Dark Riku, and cry to the amazing cut scenes. It’s now such an integral part of my existence, I just feel so grateful to this game for everything it’s done through the years. I’ve been obsessed with every game for years now, every birthday and Christmas I would ask for KH games when they came out, and even made a deal with my parents to buy me 358/2 days if I got straight A’s for a whole year. I would obsess over it and share with my cousins “how cool it is to actually play as Organization member. I still can’t believe this game actually exists. It’s my favorite, I love everything about this game series and honestly I found your channel and stuck around because you’re the only KH fan i’ve seen cry as much as me, aha. Your KH3 play through is my favorite I watch it a lot and reminisce about my play through and how long it’s been a part of my life. Sorry for writing a novel, but I appreciate your channel and this game so much. Gahhhh. Happy Anniversary KH, here’s to many more years, 🙏💕 🔑

Seeing people's genuine passion and joy about their favorite things is always a treat. I'm not a kingdom hearts fan really but I still enjoyed this video a lot!

Happy 20th Anniversary Kingdom Hearts!

It still feels like yesterday when I first heard Kingdom Hearts 1 being announced. I and many others was like, "Final Fantasy and Disney!? What the f**k were they thinking!?!? This is sooooo gonna fail miserably!!!" And now 20 years later, BOY how wrong we were!

Nomura needs to see this, i think he would appreciate it so much to see your love for the game through the years

Hi Sarah, I love your videos! Your old videos are really good too! It’s always fun to look back on good memories. I first got into Kingdom Hearts when I saw the commercial for the first one when I was a kid and I was super excited for it since I loved video games and Disney and I’ve loved it ever since!

Also seriously you guuurl are insane! I loooove you to bits, literally! I am such a huuge fan of you. Had no idea about KH until last year, and now I can't imagine my life without it. I found you on YT after searching up game players doing KH. It's been a journey watching you and your videos has helped me a lot to watch later on. I was on a very rough and dark place when I found KH. It has helped me a lot to watch different people play this game, and you are one of those people that has helped a lot to get through with different things in my life. Whenever I felt low it was like being there with you. You were like a friend to me I could turn to if I felt sad. Watching it with you ❤️ Thank you for streaming and for sharing your journey and personal memories with us! I saw someone else doing a walkthrough/playthrough of the first game and that's how I found it. But that's not all, but anyway..... Seeing your reactions and joy with this game truly means a lot to me, cause I am very very very serious when it comes to who/whom?... I watch playing KH. When I feel lonely or sad I turned to this game, and I also have a special bond with this game as a whole. There are parts I can't watch or I struggle with watching because they remind me of certain things I also have gone through. It hits hard, but also in a good way as well! So seeing you being so honest helped me a lot! I just wanted to give a huuuuge SHOUTOUT TO YOU: SARAH 👏👏👏👏👏 ✨❤️🙏 THANK YOU FOR YOUR AWESOMENESS AND WHOLESOMENESS!!! KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO, and I'll always be here to support you no matter what you do, or decide to do! HAPPY 20TH KH ANNIVERSARY 🗝 👑❤️❤️ (Keyingdom Hearts)

Can't wait for the 40 year anniversary where you react to this video!

You sharing your passion for this series is so amazing ! Makes me want to get into the series myself as well ! Thank you for sharing your journey Sarah :)

I dont rlly play KH but I am a long time fan of FF 7 which was made by the same director of KH , seeing you say that it changed you really pierced something inside of me, FF7 changed me too in a way. Your one of the most genuine YT I had ever watched. Ty for having an impact on meee ily sm

E3 2015 was the first video i ever watch from SarahKey. OMG it been that long? What a great journey i had, becoming a KH Fan was my best move since i was born ;D

Hi Sarah i love kingdom hearts and I started playing it when I was 8 . I first saw my mom play it when I was 6 and seeing the final fantasy mixed with Disney blew me away , the game looked fun and touching . Then when I turned 8 I decided to play it . When I was 7 I was pretty much only playing sports games that’s why I decided to play kingdom hearts when I was 8 lol .Now I’m 22 and still love kingdom hearts can’t wait for the future of this series.

i always loved your passion towards kingdom hearts, your one of my favorites, i feel like i need to make a video about my history on how i got into it, this is a special game to a lot of us an i'm excited to see where this series will go from here in the future. (may your heart be your guiding key)

How i got into KH 14 year old me spotted Kingdom Hearts and I remember it was a Overnight hire from Video Ezy and I was blown away the minute I played it didn't get much time playing it. But in the time I loved the opening scene and I remember just having the opening scene playing over and over rent free in my head 😌 Happy 20th Anniversary KH thanks for all the good times 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

I first heard about Kingdom Hearts through Dream Drop Distance via eshop back in 2012. But I wasn't fully invested in Kingdom Hearts until 2015 when Sonic games have been going downhill and Mario games have started to make me lose interest in the game. So as I was surfing on KZread, I stumbled on the Top 10 Final Bosses and I saw the Xemnas Final Fight and I was blown away by it. So I decided to look into Kingdom Hearts more and I end up becoming fully invested into the franchise. Tho I didn't get my hands on the mainline games until 2020 when I bought myself a PS4. But the first 2 games I played for Kingdom Hearts were Union X (not the best way to get into Kingdom Hearts), and Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance. When watching Kingdom Hearts footages for the remainder of my high school years, it has helped me feel less lonely when I didn't have a particular friend that was more than willing to spend time with me on a regular basis. And it is still helping me go through some rough times to this day! And that is something that I am grateful for this franchise!

My Kingdom Hearts 3 Reaction Compilation is how I found you I’m pretty sure! So cool to look back and see all these memories

this was so heart-warming to watch and put a huge smile on my face, thank you so much for sharing your passion for this series with us

I'm grateful to the Algorithm that led me to your KH3 videos back when I was searching for FFX reaction videos (I still wish we had a blind reaction from you but I understand why it doesn't exist). I've never played a KH game but your genuine emotions and non-cynical enthusiasm for it completely won me over and kept me subscribed all these years. The human version of cozy+serotonin vibes. Keep being your awesome self and sharing your positivity with the world!

God,this game made us live such incredible experiences and learned us so much things ! I hope from the botom of my heart this beautiful journey keeps on ! Happy Birthday Kingdom Hearts , and "May your hearts be your guiding keys " KH fans 💖

i played kingdom hearts when i was 15 i may not be a long time fan but it changed my life for someone dealing with autism and anxiety at 17 it helped me calm down at my worst moments i will never forget square enix and disney for making me feel better also amazing video sarah ❤

So wholesome! Thank you for sharing this with us!! 💖

I love you Sarah and I love the nostalgia in this video never change your a Queen

Happy Day!! Thanks for all your passion for KINGDOM HEARTS!

Sarahkey..I've been in your shoes to! Kingdom Hearts has been my bread and butter throughout my childhood.

This is one of the most wholesome videos! Your passion for Kingdom Hearts is so amazing and it is really making me want to marathon the games now. Absolutely love your reactions

Thank you for this video, Sarah! Kingdom Hearts means so much to me too, and like you, I got into it by being the little sister watching her older sister’s friend playing 😂 (A core memory for me is watching the hollow bastion scene right before the first Riku fight, and the ending scene!). I still remember putting the game into my ps2 for the first time and hearing “Destati”. It’s a feeling I can’t explain. It’s a beautiful game, and it’s a huge part of my life. ❤️ I cannot wait for the anniversary event!!!

this was really wonderful to watch. thanks for sharing, sarah. happy 20th anniversary!

Glad to see you have passion for the series and to see Sora being in Smash.

I cant wait this is so exciting love your videos Sarah

I adore you, Sarah. You inspired me to embrace my favorite game and to stream it as a means to share that love with the world. I'm so glad you have such a passion for Kingdom Hearts and your love for it has made such a positive ripple effect on those around you.

thanks for putting yourself thru the trauma of witnessing your past self via video

Awesome video Sarah, also thanks for the ammo Im gonna start saying “ hello earthlings “ every time I come into your streams lol, but overall it’s nice seeing the awesome person Kingdom Hearts has turned you into. Happy 20th Kingdom Hearts Sarah can’t wait for your next stream.

The last clip sent me into ORBIT 😆 love ya Sarah, been a huge fan for a while now and it's so great to be able to get hyped again with all the KH youtubers. It feels like 3 years ago again ❤️ here's to April 10th bringing some amazing stuff !

Thank you for your incredible story and how Kingdom Hearts has impacted you 20 years later SarahKey. I am also a huge Kingdom Hearts due to the Disney and Final Fantasy crossover and I can't wait on what's in store for the 20th Anniversary event on April 10 and what games are in store for Phase 2. Thanks for the video, and May your Heart be Your Guided Key.🗝❤💙💚🖤

Kingdom Hearts has changed my life as well. Got into your channel from your Kingdom Hearts videos around the release of Kingdom Hearts 3. It's awesome hearing other's experiences with it.

Watching how much you, and your community, love this saga, I have decided to give it a go when the whole Saga goes on sale. ☺️🙌🏼

Thank you for sharing this story/journey with us. KH is such a special franchise for me as well. It's given me so many memories and helped form some strong friendships through going to cons and cosplaying. Riku will always be my favorite to cosplay and I just am so excited to see where the story goes next. Getting the Crown symbol tattooed on my shoulder meant a lot to me and i'm glad i have 2 of my all time favorite things (that and Nightwing, favorite superhero) a part of me.

I haven't played much of the Kingdom Hearts games only 3 really enjoy it haven't finished it yet but I do know most of what happens in 1&2. What I love about Kingdom Hearts is that it has the crazy idea of crossing over a version of the final fantasy world and Disney's worlds with new characters being the vocal point in the story. When it comes to new worlds based off their popularity I'm extremely surprised there hasn't been any Marvel or Star Wars world's in Kingdom Hearts yet, hopefully if there's a Kingdom Hearts 4 eventually they add a Marvel world and Star Wars world

This video was such a cute treat to watch! I'm so happy for you, Sarah. You always work so hard and give such positive energy throughout your videos and streams. It makes me feel just as happy after having a bad day. Your KH3 playthrough was literally the best thing I've ever come across with. I hope to continue to fan girl and nerd out with you and every other KH fan throughout the years to come!

I remember all of the primer videos. And so much of the earlier content you posted. What an amazing journey seeing you then to now. I am so glad I have gotten to know you and that I became a member of your community

I've been a fan since your Keyblade Sarah days, so watching this was almost as nostalgic as thinking about the 20th anniversary itself! 😁

I enjoy so much of your content. Kingdom Hearts is my all time favorite videogame and IP and its music is what drove me to want to start writing music (thanks Yoko Shimomura) And this video is wholesome.

I recently got into Kingdom Hearts when the games came to PC. My favorite titles were II, III and I due to the simple gameplay loops, and I watched the cutscenes for the other games. I wasn't exactly in a great place at the time, mentally. Following the journey of Sora and his friends brought light back into my life. The silly moments were as ridiculous as everybody said they would be ('Say fellas, did somebody mention the Door to Darkness?'), so I had no problems with taking them at face value. And I found reasons to take the genuinely deep moments at face value as well. "Well, there is one advantage to being me... Something you could never imitate." "What's that?" "Having you for a friend." "Then I guess...I'm okay the way I am. I've got something you could never imitate too."

Kingdom Hearts will always hold a very special place in my heart, forever grateful to it for being something I could rely on for comfort whenever I felt alone throughout my life, and especially for leading me to your stream where I could become a part of such a wonderful community and talk to people who felt the same love and passion for such a beautiful series. Happy 20th Kingdom Hearts!!❤️

This is just wholesomely cringe... or cringely wholesome Or just wholesome, you're adorable Sarah! xP Onto 20 years more I hope! 🎉

Happy Birthday Kingdom Hearts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KH queen! 💕 I got into KH when I was 13, I would've gotten it back in 2002 (I was 9), but I didn't have a PS2 back then... 4 years later I finally had one, saw the game randomly at a store and was instantly pulled back to 2002. The rest is history :) Followed every game since then! I also found you when you were Keybladesarah! ✨ Stay positive and awesome the way you are!

It’s the 28th for me as well! Happy 20th to this phenomenal franchise!

KH1 was among my first PS2 games when it first came out 20 years ago. I have the manga and light novels of Kingdom Hearts in addition to the All In One Package for both PS4 and Xbox One.

When I was 5 my mom started the game and they were getting new internet so as they set that up my mom let me collect the fish, then 2 years later I was looking through our PS2 games and I saw kingdom hearts and remembered the fish so I wanted to play it

YAY!!!! Happy 20th Kingdom Hearts! I got into KH during my mid-teens, and it's become so important to me. It helped me realize that there's a bit of good and bad in everyone and that things aren't always what they seem, which has really helped me in life especially recently. I was so awkward and didn't have any friends until a few years ago when I made my first true friends, and we bond over Pokemon and Kingdom Hearts, which are my two favorite things ever! Both of those franchises have helped me through the darkest times in my life, struggling with autism, anxiety, and trauma...I constantly escape into the worlds of these franchises when the real world gets too stressful. When Sora got revealed for Smash, I put on my KH3 Sora hoodie, my Sora crown pendant, and grabbed my Keyblade and started spinning it around in my hands just like how Sora does, and I also couldn't stop quoting Sora that day...even when I went to the mall with my friends I wore my hoodie and pendant and the only things I could say were Sora quotes. My friends picked up on it quickly since we all wanted Sora in Smash for years and that was the only thing we talked about because it was the only thing I COULD talk about lol. Wow, 2021 was Pokemon's 25th anniversary and now 2022 is Kingdom Hearts' 20th anniversary! My two favorite things in the world have anniversaries one after the other, and that's so exciting for me!

Thank you for sharing your story! Without Kingdom Hearts, I don’t know what I would do and I’m so glad to know other people from the community, glad to know the Final Fantasy franchise and all of the amazing JRPG KZreadrs and Twitch streamers. Here’s to many more years of Kingdom Hearts!

I love these trips down memory lane! We were hyped when Kingdom Hearts was announced. I had already been a big final fantasy fan and was just finishing my first year of college. Kingdom hearts just scratched the right itch for us "anime kids" bringing these two worlds together. It was kind of mind blowing. I also remember an internet radio station called gaming FM where listeners could request songs, and Simple and Clean was played like 50% of the time 😂 some people were just obsessed!

When hearing your story about how you were introduced to the series, it brought back some memories of how I was totally that little kid going around to everyone saying "You've GOT to try Kingdom Hearts, it's so good, here, let me show you!" (though as I recall, I was way overbearing and annoyed a lot of kids that way). There's actually a few other stories you shared that reminded me of my own experiences too, like having to move out of state as a kid with no friends to share your interests with, along with the social challenges surrounding that.

i never watched your playthroughs of anything kindoms heart. I think its time for me to see what the hype is about... And play them for myself the 1st time

Happy Birthday Kingdom Hearts 🥳🎂

The community for KH has grown into something so beautiful. As someone who didn’t have friends who loved KH like I did, I has been so cool to watch Sarah help grow the community!

KINGDOM HEARTS FOREVER!! Happy 20th Sarah 🔑 ❤️👦🐥🐶!!!!!!

I remember playing the PlayStation 2 demo disc (where the demo of the game was on) back in 2002 and ending up getting the game the next year and falling in love with the series. My fav would probably be KHII because of the sheer memories of my autumn vacation 06 and getting the game there and playing it the whole week 😊 I love your channel btw and this story i can relate too a lot

These are so adorable to see you look so happy Watching kh videos

If there is anything that drew me closer to Kingdom Hearts after playing it, it would be the OST and Sora getting into Smash. Everything I love about Kingdom Hearts as a whole is just 100% Simple and Clean. Happy 20th Anniversary Kingdom Hearts, You will forever be a part of my memory and the memories of all those who play it. 👏😁

This is so wholesome! Great video.

Happy 20th anniversary kingdom hearts! It’s such an amazing game :)

Eyy! High five to a fellow KH nerd who used a KH quote as their senior quote XD
