So my wife and I have for a couple of years have been playing Square Enix games together. Typically how it goes is I play and she watches. She also occasionally plays and then backs down during boss fights because she gets nervous lol. But nevertheless, that's what we do.

Preamble: my wife is not a gamer lol. She tries she enjoy Mario games and things like that but she's not very good at them other than Mario kart where she is real good for some reason but she never really did the JRPG thing besides watch her older brother play.

To this point, she and I have played Kingdom Hearts 1, CoM, 2, BBS, and FFXIII, FFX, FFXII, and FFXV.

Now, don't pick on my wife but this is her ranking to this point:

Final Fantasy XIII - She liked the characters and their growth, also, I skipped ahead so she missed most of the lull that is Pulse and it probably helped the pace for her. She also liked the story because it was good without being too complicated like Kingdom Hearts passed the first one. I also think the "first final fantasy" theory probably is in effect here.

Final Fantasy XV (she liked the gameplay. This was the game that she felt the most comfortable playing. She was also a fan of the truly open world and being able to advance the story if she wanted to or being able to just hang out.)

So the rest of the games she says she has a small negative to them for her.

Kingdom Hearts - The story was interesting and was fun. The downside was it was too corny for her at times. We actually played KH series first so she has gotten better at playing and did not play as much then. She also didn't like how it was copying the movies so much.

Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep - she thought this was the best iteration. The story was interesting though complex. She's a big happy story kind of person so the ending brought her down. Also, basically having to play the game 3 times brought her down too.

Kingdom Hearts II - she liked playing it a lot but she didn't love that all of the world's were basically ports of the movies but and the story was good but if I wasn't there to explain it she is not sure she would have understood.

Final Fantasy XII - She said that this could have been her favorite because the story was very intriguing for her but the gameplay was so damn slow that she often forgot the little details in between and that really made it feel separated. But she did enjoy being able to play it herself.

Final Fantasy X - this is the one she is going to get the most flak for but this was her least favorite Final Fantasy to this point. She did not like Tidus. She thought he was annoying she didn't really get his story that much and finally thought he was a crybaby. So she looked to the side characters.
she found Rikku to be annoying.
She thought Lulu was a know it all and kept saying "put your boobs away."
Kimhari "TALK ALREADY, He's annoying"
She liked Wakka at first but then didn't like that he was a racist.
Auron, she said shr thought he was cool but then she didn't like that it felt like he thought he was cool.
So the only character that she truly like was Yuna then.
And then none of the Big moments went over that well with her. So the whole thing never really got clicking for her. So that stinks

Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories - She didn't love the story, she didn't love the gameplay and the whole thing kind of just fell flat for her.

Alright, enough preamble. In this topic, I am going to post her reactions while we play. So don't expect a Robazoid like explanation of events as I go. Lol

We started this game with her knowing nothing other than that me and my childhood best friend beat this together. I was also anticipating it to be two players like when I played the ps1 version and the ps1 classic version but I was wrong and that was disappointing. So other than that here is what we had for the start.
