Just thinking back to November of 2018, when I first started playing the Kingdom Hearts series chronologically, starting with Kingdom Hearts Re: Birth by Sleep, it brings back so many nostalgic memories. Birth by Sleep is by far one of my most favorite games, and I think that's because it feels like a much different story than Sora's story in the continuing Kingdom Hearts series. I was younger then, and I felt so immersed in the world, and loved the gameplay, the worlds, the music, the design, and how each of three characters, Aqua, Ventus, and Terra, had their own storylines, and I had to replay and complete everything three times. I haven't 100% completed the game yet, as some optional bosses SERIOUSLY pissed me off, but...that game has become one of my absolute favorites regardless. I remember farming for items and listening to the MLP complete series soundtrack on MP3, in my pajamas, just happily playing and chatting with my friends, as the December season came closer, and I had warm blankets out, neighbors outside had Christmas decorations up, and I had my own little Christmas lights strung up (still do!). Playing the minigames, doing the little challenges, overall just having a BLAST playing Re: Birth by Sleep. As I said, it'll always be one of my favorite games. My personal favorite soundtrack being the Deep Space theme (the Lilo and Stitch World).
