- It's an action RPG series in which you're basically an offshoot of a Final Fantasy character whose party members consist of a semi-rotating cast Disney characters like Goofie, Aladdin, Simba, etc.
- It's a series in which you visit the worlds of various Disney movies such as Alice in Wonderland and Tarzan and then sort of participate in events native to that "world" (and, being Disney, which, now includes Star Wars and Marvel, is all sorts of fun crossovers).
- It's got an absolute mind**** of plotline across multiple games that gets people hooked.
- It's got a pretty fun battle system. It's not "Souls", but if you grew up playing games like Secret of Mana it's basically the natural successor to that kind of combat system.
- and it's a series which aside from HD remasters and handheld sidestory games(which themselves only add to the convolution of the overarching story), skipped the previous gen and for which people have been waiting for a new "main line" game since 2005.
You either love it or you don't. In its heyday though it was one of the most popular series on the PS2 for a reason. There are games grounded in realism, and there are games that are no worse consumed on LSD. This is the latter.
