Reginald 13,827 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 How exciting! You're going to love it. I played them all in release order (I've been stanning Sora since I was literally a kid, where does the time go?) and personally I would start with KH1. It has world building and introduces all the central characters and mysteries, and is by far the easiest game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So happy that this deal happened, $30 for all the games, including 3, crazy. I could play the moderator, I can ban you, die sis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
codymonster 8,326 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Omg, I’m excited for you! That’s my favourite series!!! Definitely do release date! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice bear 1 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 play them by release date, some things are just a "susprise" if you play them in the sequence they were made for example playing birth by sleep before kh2 would ruin the mistery on the secret boss's identity ice heard one side from above Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice bear 1 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 as for tips: the intro-worlds (especially in kh2) are long, but the game after them are very very different, so don't give up on them based on that it willl get better -the secondary party members are there to reduce the enemy's health and heal you, it's rare for them to win battles for you -the "dive into the heart" world, (and as rule of thumb any place you arrive that is different from the world you were in after a cutscene) aren't accessible after you left them so make sure to collect everything you can while there - try to end boss battles with a special attack, it doesn't do anything but it makes you feel epic -magic is very useful but you can go all the way without it except for cure, it depends on your playing style -riku is a jackass, vanitas is bae, and maleficent does nothing -oh, and last but not least, yoko shimomura is a musical goddess and her sound makes the playing experience even better ice heard one side from above Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gagzus 14,463 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 definitely by release date, some of the surprises in the storylines are an absolute gag. also take note of the tips from the user above. And from me; don’t even ATTEMPT to fight Sephiroth in neither KH1 or 2 (ESPECIALLY 2 tho) without being max level, crap tons of potions and ethers and Dodge Roll and Glide equipped.

gypsy101 5,428 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 agreed, release order is the way to go for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay23 145 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Kh 1 > Kh chain of memories > kh2 > 358/2 days > kh birth by sleep > dream drop distance. The rest doesnt matter. Kh 3 is just not good sadly.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achromatic 331 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 33 minutes ago, River said: what is the best difficulty? what if I get frustrated? The I & II games could be very difficult (if ur playing the hardest difficulty) sometimes at some parts (i just replayed the first like 5 months ago and spend like 40 hours before being able to complete it) but after all it’s really worth it, more satisfying, also it’s easier to unlock the secret finals ALSOOO, the Chain of Memories game it’s very hated for most of the community bc it’s kind of different but the 2 stories are very important, so if u think the gameplay it’s boring, just play it on easy, you will not be disappointed. I just introduced one of my bff to this saga and he loved it, even cried at some parts, so i hope u like it too! enjoy it! I’m my bestfriend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katsuki Bakugo 9,788 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Play them how they were released. If All You Ever Do Is Look Down On People, You Won't Be Able To Recognize Your Own Weaknesses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotDoctor 704 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I just did this like a year and a half ago to play through all the games for the first time before KH3. I would definitely say that release order is the way to go. This might be controversial but some of the games have manga adaptations that are pretty good. I only mention this because some of the games can be a bit of a slog. If you aren't enjoying something there are other ways to get the story if that's what you want. I banged up again COM a bunch of times and just couldn't do it so I just read the manga instead and got everything that I needed from it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
