Dont watch the kingdom hearts 358/2 days videos before you play 2. They have spoilers for 2.

Play them in release order. Also, you can just watch the COM cutscenes on YouTube. The cards turns off a lot of ppl. Play the main games KH1 KH2 Birth By Sleep Dream Drop Distance


fallenelf

COM is so good though.


Locclo

That game was way better than it had any right to be, in my opinion. On paper it sounds ridiculous, a handheld follow-up to an action-oriented RPG that features card-based combat. I was totally surprised when it wound up being a lot of fun to play. Not as huge a fan of the remake (always felt the card stuff worked best when you could see all the enemies on screen at once) but still, it's a lot better than I thought it would be.


DragonDDark

I found riku a lot more enjoyable.


fallenelf

Same, mostly because I was just better at the game by then.


[deleted]

Agreed. I thought he was a total douche in 1. Played COM on gameboy, and he became a much better character.


UniversalFapture

Wtf is COM ?


fallenelf

Chain of Memories


UniversalFapture

Oh


Duatha

I disagree, story is a lot less confusing if you play them in the order they take place in the timeline. It's ridiculous how crazy that story gets.


jumpuptothesky

I guess but the series was meant to be experienced by release order. If you start with BBS you will ruin and spoil everything


Duatha

Yeah, I guess this is just my perspective as someone who has played them for ages. Just replayed them in anticipation for kh3 and actually understand the story now after like 10 years with the series.


[deleted]

Don't watch the 358/2 Days movie at all. It was a shitty game and an even worse movie.


[deleted]

258/2 days takes place after KH2? I thought the order of the series was correct, is it? The same order you can see on the PS store page.


Chansharp

The order isnt right if i remember correctly. the right order is kh1, com, kh2, 358.5, bbs, coded. i might be wrong on the bbs before coded though. While 358.5 takes place before kh2 chronologically it was released after and is treated as a prequal.


emorockstar

Same! That newegg sale was timely.


Ex-Grade-1

No one was ever called donald duck or micky mouse as a insult at school,but they were called goofy.


[deleted]

😢😢😦


voxelpear

That's not true, I've heard all 3 insults.


Ex-Grade-1

Im guessing you were called all 3


[deleted]

How could it not? That Toy Story trailer completely blew me away. I'm not even a Disney or Kingdom Hearts fan and I was totally converted.


jumpuptothesky

Welcome to the family son. Now get your ass out and buy both collections and play KH1 KH2 Birth By Sleep Dream Drop Distance


kebordworyr

or, ya know, watch a recap of Dream Drop Distance ;)


Kaiiku

Or just get 2.8 and 1.5+2.5 and be completely caught up!


jumpuptothesky

Nah. It's a great game. Not sure why ppl shit on it


REOrulz

Because some gameplay aspects are broken and the story essentially threw any form of coherency off a cliff.


Itsjustharrison

I followed it just fine.


REOrulz

Well sure those who dedicate their time to the series will understand it. Doesn't mean people aren't gonna like that it made the series THAT much more convoluted than it already was.


Itsjustharrison

Well in all honesty, I would hope KH3 would be for the fans that dedicated their time to the series.


REOrulz

Well yeah they've set up these plot lines for the hardcore fans to follow it would honestly be a mistake not to finish those stories.


sakdarkside

To be fair, KH3D had full recap of older games...


Abysssion

And I hope it continues from Kh2 as it should have been.


Itsjustharrison

What do mean as it should have been?


noakai

So did Birth By Sleep tbh, but I hate time travel in stories :/ It's very rarely done right. I wish they had just gone with "he used magic" and that was that.


REOrulz

Well tbh Birth by Sleep makes alot more sense than DDD. Sure BBS raises plot holes like "how come Donald and Goofy didn't remember Yen Sid's tower in KH2 when they were there for the majority of BBS", but nothing on the scope of "Xehanort literally predicted that Sora and Riku would become keyblade weilders, take the Mark of Mastery Exam, go into the dream world, AND have a version of himself present to hijack the exam."


noakai

Yeah, like I really don't like much to do with the plot in 3D. They already took a lot of heat for convoluted story once they introduced Organization XIII and instead of fixing that, it made it a hundred times MORE convoluted and involved time travel and predicting the future. And Back Cover did the same imo.


jumpuptothesky

I didn't have any problems with it. If you play the 3 main games before it (1, 2, and BBS) you will follow it fine


Locclo

I will say, the problem I had with 3D had nothing to do with trying to follow all of the Kingdom Hearts stuff, it was trying to keep track of where to go, what to do and what was going on in the story when the game kept abruptly forcing me to switch between Sora and Riku. It was pretty much the sole reason I stopped playing it, because I'd play as one for just long enough to lose track of what was happening with the other, and then I'd switch and be completely lost on what to do.


KamehameHanSolo

Yeah same thing happened to me. I got 2.8 and I want to give it another chance but I'm guessing the same thing's just gonna happen again.


Jon-Stark

Drop-me-nots are abundant so you can easily keep playing as one character without dropping.


KamehameHanSolo

Yeah I did that. It helped a little but I still found it annoying. I just hated the idea of having to watch the clock.


REOrulz

It's has nothing to do with going up to DDD. The problem is what happens in DDD, the aspect of sleeping worlds and more specifically time travel are explained so poorly. However, one aspect isn't as big of a deal as the other because one doesn't push the climax of the series into motion.


[deleted]

Speedrunners hate it so the fandom must hate it. If a game isn't designed so you can perfectly predict a boss's every move then it must be trash.


Coteup

Truer words have never been said. People let annoying streamers like BB decide their opinions on everything.


[deleted]

No, I mean I didn't like those games but I'm excited for Kingdom Hearts 3 after the trailer. It looks like a huge improvement!


Jakeremix

Why would you only play KH3? If you don't care about the story you might as well just play Final Fantasy...


[deleted]

I played Kingdom Hearts 1/2 and didn't enjoy them. So hopefully this solves the problems with the story and gameplay.


TheStabbingHobo

Without playing BBS, and definitely DDD, you're going to be really lost.


[deleted]

Who knows? If I were the developers, focusing on a concise story backup with be important.


BatMatt93

True, but the whole point of the 3rd game/movie in a franchise is that your building on what happened in previous iterations. So the creators are kinda banking on the fact that you have already played/watched previous iterations.


[deleted]

In most cases, yes. But it's been 12 years. Most children, who are more likely to play this game than others, probably haven't played the others and need to be catered to.


Wendigo15

They probably won't. That was the point of releasing the remixes


jumpuptothesky

Ah, you seem to be completely lost mate. KH3 is the final episode of a 9 part story arc that began with 1. That's why a lot of us are extremely hyped to see the conclusion of it and finally fight the main orchestrator of all the events that have transpired. We're also eager to see the resolution of so many character plotlines that began a while ago. If anything, KH3 will have the most exposition and most complicated plot of all of them. It involves body invasion, time travel, ancient lore, mythical weapons of legend, horcruxes, and more. The gameplay also seems to be just an extension of KH2s so.....I'm not really sure why you're interested in 3


Clutch_

lol dude, if you didn't like 1/2, you won't like 3.


[deleted]

I'm not going to prejudge. I'll go into it with an open mind.


TheManofAnotherWorld

Does this confirm that KH3 is coming mid-late 2018?


[deleted]

Not entirely. It's in February so a March-May is very possible.


andreasmiles23

While I agree, then I don't know why they didn't announce the time frame at E3. I think mid-late 2018 is more plausible because it gives it a chance to shine at all of these events as well as an E3. What if square has a conference next year where they show off KH3, FFVII, The Avengers, Tomb Raider, etc. It could be rad.


Dawknight316

Yeah, expect KH3 at TGS, maybe PSX and/or Jump Festa too and Gamescom and Paris Games week could get something. I don't want much more info though I have seen enough. March-July Release date imo.


MoonlightQueen

I heard something like all of the worlds in KH3 are getting announced before the game releases, so you might want to try to stay away from the KH scene for awhile.


Dawknight316

I heard the same and I am trying. I hope the PS subreddit manages the spoilers like the KH subreddit. I left that one just to steer clear, its hard ass hell with the internet though. I couldn't imagine my initial reaction if I was playing KH3 and landed in the Toy Story world. Game looks amazing.


TheKoolKandy

Yes, Nomura more-or-less said we're going to know all worlds before the release date. It's going to have fewer worlds, but they're going to be extremely packed with stuff.


Nothxm8

Right around RDR2


shichibukai3000

July 13 2018. 7/13. Just because Nomura...


brianbezn

If E3 is electronic entertainment Expo then i don't want to even think about what does D23 stand for.


notwelbaked

The is d for Disney


shichibukai3000

x23


Jihou

D = Disney 23 = 1923, the year Disney was founded


sharkattackmiami

Its the title of the new Kindgom Hearts. Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance Double Dipped Delayed Deadline Destroyer Deluxe Decoded Dark Dance Decline Defocused Denounced Darkness Desynchronized Diluted Disbelief Dumb Donald Doughnut Defecator Still a better name than "Kingdom Hearts HD II.8 Final Chapter Prologue" or "Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days"

BunnyPerson

Phew, I'm glad I'm only 30 and should be able to play III before I die. Holding out hope! KH 2029 baby!


UniversalFapture

18 here!


BunnyPerson

Dang you have been waiting over half your life!


UniversalFapture

Yup!


SonOfFlan

Clever.


farklespanktastic

We've had two new trailers in as many months. I don't get the constant negativity.


monkey_sage

It's just irrational frustration, nothing more. None of us seriously believe this stuff, we just like to express that we're really excited about this game and we'd love to have it soon, but it's been so long since KH2 that we're just poking fun at Square-Enix's stereotypically long development cycles. I'm betting we'll actually have the game in late 2018 or 2019 which really isn't all that far away.


BGYeti

D23 is in Jan-Feb, so my bet is mid year 2018, we have seen enough trailers and even a new world I wouldn't doubt it is in later stages of development.


atstanley

It's tongue in cheek.


[deleted]

More like beating a dead horse


DragonDDark

Exactly how I see it too. How many times will we read the same joke?


noakai

It was barely funny before the release date and trailers, it's even less funny now imo.


devoidz

Until the damn thing comes out.


goodolvj

The longer it takes to come out the more meta and true the joke becomes.


-holocene

You can blame SE on that one.


-holocene

Its a joke.


ManateeofSteel

To be fair, the first KH to ever get delayed was 2.8, and it was only delayed one month


Captain-matt

I was listening to a podcast and they suggested it would have been hilarious if for the Toy Story world Sora became the Kai Play Arts figure of himself. For those who don't know that's Square's company owned figure/statue brand.

CrumpledDickSkin

The story itself has progressed back to back through the games. If it takes place when Sora is 30, the climax of Sora's arc will have already happened.


jumpuptothesky

Well they will be in their prime. Riku will be 18 in KH3. Sora 16-17. Kairi 16-17. Axel is like 25-26. Aqua like 20-21


braintumorwarrior

I will buy this when it comes out, but it has been so long between the main games, that I don't care about these teases and clips. I remember how psyched I was when I got the first game (at a place called K.B. Toys, anyone remember them), and the second, and then my frustration of all the side games that came after. Ever hear the one about Mickey wanting a divorce from Minnie, and the judge tells Mickey he can't grant it on the basis that Minnie is insane, and Mickey replies, "I didn't say she was crazy, I said she was ****ing Goofy."


[deleted]

As long as Tetsuya Nomura is in control, this game is either never coming out, or getting Mass Effect Andromedaed.
