Actually, after that point with the Hades escape, I had no trouble with the rest of the game on Critical. Not until the post-game bosses anyway.

In KH2 on critical the enemies hit insanely hard but you have so many options that they still end up being easy or at least manageable for the most part. Larxene for example hits hard but spam reflect and you will win, against Roxas and Axel spam limit form and you will win. Reflect does a ton of damage to almost everything, Limit and Final forms are insanely overpowered. The first time playing post game KH2 on critical will likely be hard but it won't be consistently hard unless you make rules on yourself with no reflect spamming, no limit/final form at all, no summoning stitch who is ridiculously overpowered and cheap who lasts for a LONG time as long as you keep attacking enemies.

Critical is hard but too many ways to break the difficulty and doesn't have the lasting appeal due to that.

And the funny thing is, all started because I saw my brother playing this on Critical, and he had a hard time against the very first "boss" (the Giant Nobody with Roxas). I told him "Let me try" and I defeated him on the first try (well, it's very easy, you just need to push Triangle very fast, then attack his head mid-air). My brother then completed the game on Critical without too much trouble, so I told myself "Well, let's see.". My plan was to beat it on easiest difficulty too, since I already played the game on PS2 and I wanted only checkout new bosses like Lingering Terra. This is my very first KH on Critical, I beated KH1 and Chain of Memories on easiest difficulties too.

I had the same issue as your brother and then on axel... I decided to do two runs since I didn't find re fighting boss' fun. Different strokes I guess.

This stall in this Collectible show near my house sells keyblades. They have the Kingdom key(wood and metal versions), oblivion(wood and metal) Fenrir(I think it's metal, I didn't get to hold it to find out), and pumpkin king(wood). I'm resisting the urge to buy that metal Oblivion

I'd take Fenrir if it was made of full metal, would be pretty heavy.

Also I kinda hope we see more of KH3 soon....playing through the HD remixes makes me want it more now after it rekindled my interest.

It's been like 1.5 years since the last kh3 trailer. They indeed revealed it too soon :lol. But I guess fans would have been furious if all we had was remasters.

I really hope they won't show the game again until they have a real blowout trailer wether it's TGS, JF or E3 2016. The concept trailers are kinda discouraging and honestly do more harm than good for my hype. KH3 deserves way better when it comes to trailers. The launch event bonus footage they did is the way to go for whatever concepts they have to show. No need really to bring the game to big events until it's around a year from release.

Now where dat DDDHD/PS4 collection tho?

If the past is any indication, it'd end up being important to the canon, therefore forcing people to play it for the complete story, even if you don't care for mobile games.

Pls no.

Had it have finished development we most likely would've got our first Star Wars world in the series too and Frozen/Tangled/Wreck it Ralph KH debuts. Now i'm even more curious about it.

Ditto. I usually don't game on my mobile now, but stuff like that grabs me.

But yeah basically this. The concept art having Kingdom Hearts III's logo implies that it would've tied into it too.

yoo... Tron uprising concepts


so...lets say the tron stuff in DDD never actually happened, and the uprising stuff is the actual counterpart to the KH 2 tron stuff. thats the only way using Uprising stuff would work

The tornadoes in BBS are giving me a headache...the constant swirling around and trying to tell where enemies are is a pain it's not even about skill when I'm like an inch away from them on screen yet no attacks hit them.

So someone I know is starting the series with Birth By Sleep before Kingdom Hearts 1. As someone who started with KH1 this order just feels so wrong to me if you haven't played the series before. First in the series
excluding chi
sure, but it not being referenced properly/forshadowed until 358/2 days/KH2 makes playing Birth By Sleep makes playing it after then feels more right to me, plus the secret ending leading into DDD and KH3.

I totally understand if Birth By Sleep's your only option and you can't get Kingdom Hearts 1 before it, but this guy has both.

Anyway on the topic of that what's everyones recommended order for playing the series?
Mine would be KH1 > Re:CoM = 358/2 Days (358 would probably be better last though due to leading in properly to 2) KH2 > BBS > Re:coded > DDD

There is one other way. Pull a DDD and give a plot excuse for the world to be set in another time period, but yeah being a continuation of KH2 tron seems more likely. I mean DDD's tron was originally going to be Riku going to the Radiant Garden Tron (or the other one just at a earlier time) while Sora goes through Legacy.

Either way i'd have loved to have seen Uprising appear being a big fan of the show.

Yeah that's the most annoying enemy placement in the game for me. The zoomed in camera makes it even worse when you can't even see some of them.

I'm done, every KH completed... And in DDD they clearly don't give a f*** about creating a Logical Story, it was already complicated, but now nothing seem to work anymore... I really don't know how they are going make KH3 story enjoyable... But level design was clearly the best of every KH game before, and agressive ennemies was a welcome change compare to dumb ennemies in BBS. I'm ready for KH 3 !

So I've barely touched this series over the years for various reasons, if I grabbed HD Mix 1+2 and DDD for the 3DS, would I be able to 'catch up' on the series and story?

Yes. Other than Chi which isn't in English and doesn't have alot of story anyways, that's all the games you can play + you get the full story.

Covers pretty much everything. Just my suggestion, but follow the order of the collection. So 1>re:CoM>Days scenes>2>BBS>re:Coded cinematic>DDD

You're in for a hell of a ride

Anything I should know before diving in? I'm going in unspoiled, so it will all be new to me.

I'm talking about stuff like difficulty levels, big mistakes to avoid etc.

Also I'm interested in going after secret bosses/endings and stuff, but only if they're somewhat reasonable to tackle, I'm not looking to 100% them.

Get used to defending, dodge rolling, gliding, etc. KH 2 FM is full of powerful secret bosses if you're into that.

In terms of difficulty
KH1: Normal (other people would say Proud, but I honestly don't find the game fun on that difficulty.) Secret ending basically requires 100% completion though, so it's up to you.

KH2: Critical, game is piss-easy on lower difficulties. 100% is just beating all the extra bosses and clearing the mushroom minigames (which is much easier said than done, but it's better than having to finish the journal).

KHBBS: Proud. Critical is horribly unbalanced and the extra bosses will put you through the wringer on either difficulty. IIRC it's only marginally harder to get the secret endings on Proud than it is Critical (haven't played proud in that game in years)

Re:CoM: Normal. There's no secret endings to unlock and if the card battle system doesn't grip you, it's gonna be tedious as hell.

Don't watch the Days cut scenes before playing KH2. Yes, chronologically it comes first, but you would be spoiling plot points that are meant to be mysteries in 2. The point of Days is to fill in the blanks.

KH1 is pretty good so far, but sweet mother of god am I glad I'm done with Atlantica, that music was so, so wretched, which is a marked contrast to all the other tunes which range from indifferent to really good.

Onward to... well whatever is next, it's not mapped out :D

edit: Just finished Hollow Bastion, this game is really good, I can see how people have incredibly fond memories of it. I wish I'd progressed a bit faster, the game is soooooooooooooooo much more pleasant once you've unlocked traversal abilities and have a bigger combat toolset.

Also Gravity is amazing and Stop is actually usable, I'm in shock here :D

edit again: And finished. Didn't go for 100%, and I couldn't kill Sephiroth or Unknown, but I did everything else that I could tackle. Game got progressively better the farther I made it. Also the pacing was near perfect, I really liked the enemy difficulty increase after HB, and all the endgame stuff was fun. On to the next game!
