Kingdom Heartson PC is incredibly expensive compared to the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the games, and there’s virtually no reason to grab these, unless you’re in the speedrun scene.
While we don’t know yet the specifics ofKingdom Heartsand PC and what kind of changes could benefit the speedrun scene, many players are already dreaming of finally being able to skip certain cutscenes. Like Utada Hikaru’sSimple and CleaninKHI.
It’s also worth mentioning PC ports can sometimes go particularly awry when it comes to optimization and performance. These are aspects ofKingdom Heartson PC very important for speedrun, and we’ll only know when the games are out.
At the end of the day, I personally wouldn’t suggest preordering the games, and it’s best to pick the wait and see approach.
