All to Sora, never for Donald or Goofy. You don't need a majority of their limits on so that saves a ton of AP.
Definitely Sora. Access to more abilities to him is more vital than Donald or Goofy. Add on to that there are some boss fights where Sora has to go it solo.
Always Sora, no question.

So I haven't played these games since they first came out and can't remember anything about them. Should I jump in on anything but normal? And what is the ideal playing order for them? I'm waiting until payday to grab both 1.5 and 2.5.

Load times for drive forms are kinda annoying. Don't remember these in the PS2 game. Haven't had that texture problem so that is good.
Play/watch in release order.
KH1 > Re: Chain of Memories > KH2 > 358/2 Days > Birth by Sleep > Re: Coded.
Try standard on KH1 and then if that's too easy for you try out Proud in KH2.
Pause the game for a couple of seconds after activating the drive if the load times are causing you to miss combo opportunities.

At least it culminates into one of the best boss fights in the series.

Looks like your summer has just begun, in December.
fixed that for you
There isn't a no continue trophy.
Not sure, but there is a trophy for using Mickey.
I find Thresholder to be pretty easy. The boss on the other hand always gives me trouble. I actually had to get rescued by Mickey.

Man playing this is bringing back some great memories, y'know?
Started on Critical and I have no idea what I'm in for, y'know?
Also what's up with the load times? The initial
Shame there's no trophy for beating it on Lvl. 1 Critical though...

Nobody boss fight at the beginning after you pick your weapon acted real funky, y'know?

Dark Thorn was a tremendous pain. Haven't had any significant trouble other than that and the Lance Soldiers.
Good choice.
I haven't seen anyone with TR Donald.

Yep. I can't get enough of his voice.

Are there any more little extra things you can get in Twilight Town like the +2 AP for raising enough money or is that the only one?

Oh wow, I didn't even know about this. What are the requirements?
Did everyone in this thread start with KH2? I feel kind of weird for starting with BBS now, lol. Anywho, I thought I'd give my impressions of the game. I just got through with
, and I'm overall enjoying it. lts my first time playing it, and I've found the cast of characters and worlds so far to be decent, although
. The one thing I'm not really understanding yet is the command deck. I get its basic purpose, but I'm just not used to it yet. Any tips for a beginner to master it?
the first fight against Vanitas
Aqua sounds pretty stiff and weird sometimes. I chose Ventus first, so maybe I just haven't heard very much of her?

I had a bend in my box as well, but it was from the store. Nothing was lying on top the box either. I think it's because there is nothing inside the box besides the game case and the pin. That leaves an entire section without support. The support around the pin protects it from being squished, but it's not very supportive for the entire box.
You can see a slight bent in the center of mine. There's nothing up there.

What items are missable in the beginning as Roxas?
and where do I get em
and where do I get em
As far as I know the only other optional item is an ability ring in a chest at the Sunset Terrace during the wonder hunt.

You get +2 AP if you keep doing jobs until you reach 2000 money. I believe there is an ability ring in a chest at the Sunset Terrace during the hunt for the seven wonders. The prize you get from the Setzer fight changes depending on whether you win or lose. If you win you get an the champion's belt which increases your fire, blizzard, and lighting resistance by 20%. If you lose you get the medal which increases your strength by 1.

Just raise 1300 or more munny when they give you the opportunity to do odd jobs to raise money to go to the beach before continuing.

Thanks!
Awesome, this'll help. I'll add this to my post on page 1, for easy reference.

Never played a KH game. So which one is better KH1 or KH2? I mean what is the consensus?
Most people prefer KH2. This series expects you to play every game so you'll have no clue what's going on if you skip KH1 and Re: CoM.
To be honest, the split between these two titles seems pretty even.
This is a bit old now, and of course not the best metric perhaps, but this is a 2010 poll on GameFaqs between the two games, for instance.
http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/4172-southeast-division-round-3-kingdom-hearts-ii-vs-kingdom-hearts
However, with Final Mix additions (basically things added in a previously Japanese-only rerelease), the tilt leans a little more strongly in Kingdom Hearts 2's favor.

Thanks for the info. So roughly how long is KH1? Is it a long game?
If you play on beginner mode you could probably get through it in under 15 hours while watching all of the cutscenes. You won't get the secret ending, but you can just watch that on Youtube when you're done.
Re: CoM (Also included in 1.5) would probably take around the same amount of time for the first story, and the second story can easily be done in 4-5 hours.

The models look insanely good, did Sora get worked/touched on a bit for the final mix 2.5 or what? I mean I never got to see the game during the ps2 era and here I am amazed on how well the game has hold up despite being years out.

Haha, almost died on Twilight Thorn. I forgot how brutal Critical is right off the bat.
You can, Org. XIII battles just give you a higher chance of activating Anti-Form.

Each character has their own story to play through. It'll probably be weird playing as Aqua first since she's the one that usually (very minor spoilers)
visits the worlds last, so you'll be seeing the consequences of things you haven't done yet.
Organization
Er I meant the bonus fights (wait is that one bonus? Lol)
5.0 multiplier to get anti forms the answer, WELP.
Yep to both KH1 being needed to understand the story and the recommendation. Re: CoM is also required to understand the story.
KH1 is a lot more basic, but it's still a lot of fun. Re: CoM is a card game so if that doesn't appeal to you just watch the cutscenes on Youtube.

Sounds good. I will play KH1 soon then
2s way more fun
I meant to write of, but ended up accidentally typing more a second time >.<
