That's like saying that Baten Kaitos Origins is a prequel to the first BK, and so should be played first. Yet BKO was written in such a way that the biggest pay offs were for those that played the original first, to say nothing of the gameplay improvements made from BK->BKO, that could potentially make playing them in reverse order less than ideal.CryptiK said:
KH1 is horribly dated. You'll do yourself a favor by skipping that one. This is games not masochism. If you don't enjoy a game, why force your to play for it completionist sake?Mejilan said:That's like saying that Baten Kaitos Origins is a prequel to the first BK, and so should be played first.

There's a marked difference between playing a game and it's sequel in reverse order, and playing a game and it's prequel in the intended order.
No, I'll play them in their intended order. If nothing else, it should make struggling with the overarching stories at least a bit less of a chore.

To me it's the opposite, I started with Ven and now I'm not having as much fun with Terra (I stopped at Colosseum yesterday). The game is still incredibly fun, addictive and I already feel it's the best KH ever, but I guess at the second character you play the "samey" feeling starts kicking in since we know a lot of what's going to happen and already visited all the worlds (even considering the different areas). Losing all the commands you acquired and melded probably also has a weight in it.Aeana said:I think that if I started with Ventus as suggested by some, I wouldn't have gotten very far in the game. I had a great time with Terra's scenario, but I am really struggling to maintain interest in Ven's with all of the fetch questy crap they're having me do.
And I still don't have Counter Hammer with him.
That too.Jigsaw said:
I feel they're useful near the start of each campaign but after I meld powerful moves that floor anything the D-Links provide at their max levels I just stop activating them (unless it's a new one and I want to play around with it until I get the upgrades).-DarKaoZ- said:
I'll be honest that I've never paid much attention to those abilities beyond a "cool, auto block". It's like you said, the moves are just underwhelming to use after a while. Those 2x ones will be good for when I'm maxing out everything though.Peff said:
Well, I manage to clear the early Destiny Islands, Traverse Town, and Colosseum areas last night. Not a terrible start. And yes, I grinded for levels in order to skip Wonderland, which I really fucking hated the past few times I tried starting over. I now should be quite strong enough to breeze right through it tonight.xKilltheMx said:
Basically just do what you need to do in order to clear the Tarzan world because once you get the Cure spell you'll find the game less frustrating (AND because you get the Warp Gummi at that point, which allows you to warp to any world you've already flown to before). Basically every part of the game will get a LOT better all at once.Mejilan said:
358/2 Days is easily the worst KH game that I've played. BBS got it right - brief visits to each world and a good feeling of progress, with optional revisiting to clean things up (and things still feel very fleshed out because each world plays quite differently with each character). 358/2 Days, on the other hand, has you keep revisiting each world again and again as canned/cloned 'missions' that all start to feel the same. Part of that is because of budgetary restrictions, I'm sure, but it ends up feeling tremendously unfun and that aspect of its design is diametrically opposed to the way Birth by Sleep handles it.Mejilan said:
