♥Kingdom Hearts I - Awakening♥
When you select NEW GAME, you'll be asked about your game's difficulty level
and vibration settings.
After the opening FMV, you'll be in an area with 3 platforms: 1 with a sword,
the other a staff, and the last one a shield. Jump on each one to examine
them. You'll have to pick 2 and give up 1. Now, make sure you decide properly
here, as what you choose affects the order in which Sora will learn his
abilities later on; not to mention his basic stats.
The following table summarizes your character stats at level 1 and level 100
based on which attribute you strengthen (+) and weaken (-):
-----+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+---------+
Stat | +Swd -Stf | +Swd -Shd | +Stf -Swd | +Stf -Shd | +Shd -Swd |+Shd -Stf|
HP | 18 --> 84 | 18 --> 84 | 18 --> 84 | 18 --> 84 | 18 --> 84 |18 --> 84|
MP | 2 --> 8 | 2 --> 8 | 3 --> 10 | 3 --> 10 | 2 --> 8 | 2 --> 8|
AP | 1 --> 37 | 3 --> 39 | 3 --> 39 | 3 --> 39 | 3 --> 39 | 1 --> 37|
STR | 6 --> 57 | 6 --> 57 | 3 --> 54 | 5 --> 56 | 4 --> 55 | 5 --> 56|
DEF | 2 --> 52 | 1 --> 51 | 3 --> 53 | 1 --> 51 | 4 --> 54 | 4 --> 54|
#ITM | 3 --> 7 | 3 --> 7 | 3 --> 6 | 3 --> 6 | 3 --> 8 | 3 --> 8|
#ACC | 2 --> 3 | 2 --> 3 | 2 --> 3 | 2 --> 3 | 2 --> 3 | 2 --> 3|
-----+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+---------+
Also remember that the sword gives you early access to attack-related
abilities, the shield to defensive/support abilities and the wand to magic-
related abilities. The choice is yours.
This part is actually just a tutorial on game basics, so just follow whatever
instructions you're given. After that you'll find yourself at Destiny Island.
Here, just talk to Selphie, Wakka and Tidus. Each one of them will ask you a

You'll have some more tutorials on basics here. You'll then encounter your
first save point, save and take the new path up. In the next area just walk
a bit forward and you'll fight Darkside.

He's pretty easy. Just lock on to his hand and start smashing away. He'll
also release some Heartless, make sure you kill some of them as they leave
HP balls. Use these to heal if you get damaged. The battle will be over soon
enough.
