He's asking about 2.5
I think it's harder to go from Ven to Terra than it is from Terra to Ven.

Hmm, that's a good point. Ventus is really fast and fun to control... so going from him to Terra afterwards.. ehh.. I dunno. For the story, I don't really know. Nomura himself said TVA, but VTA has some good points as well. Really, as long as Aqua is last, that's all that matters.
Oh man the reunion in II, oh man
I think the writers knew what they were doing, these two are clearly gay for each other.
"Oh hey Kairi, cool to see you and all but you know, whatever"
"RIKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU OH MAI GOD RIKUUUU I MISSED YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" *cries like a little baby*

Yep. The one problem with this order is toward the very end of the game when
Ventus shows up at the Keyblade Graveyard blabbing about the X-blade and (if it's your first time through the game) you're like "huh what I've never heard of that."
Well nearing the end of my critical playthrough storywise. Just cleaning up other stuff before starting the journey to the final world. Just did the Gummi Ship trophies, never bothered with Gummi ship apart from the required routes when I first played it, so cool to have explored further with them.

The first time I played through I went VTA but it seems TVA is the proper order from the players prospective. Terra and Aqua's story properly introduce the Unverse.

Pretty much, which is a jerk move because Terra is the hardest play through.
I am slowly beating Proud mode. Just beat Halloween Town.
Honestly making sure Jack did not die was worse. Main trick for OB boss fight was avoiding the fist (easy death if it hits you).
BBS has the best combat by far. Coming to KH2 from it made me realize how dumb the MP system is.

I loved the hell out of the first and second KH when I was younger. I bought 1.5 and really think I should buy this because I've never played BBS.
"We're going into All-Range Mode!" *dramatic music*

Outside of his final boss fight, I wouldn't necessarily say that's true.
I remember my friend and me joking about that back in '06.
It's even funnier now seeing the context of 358/2 Days, and how Sora is more excited for Riku than Kairi. Xion must still be kicking around somewhere, since Sora doesn't really give much of a fuck!
If you're not familiar with the systems yet Terra's first boss battle is one heck of a wall.
Replaying KHII and remembering these scenes, and remembering all the old jokes... man it's really been 8 years.
I will say, Final Mix is a lot nicer when it comes to story than the vanilla version. We didn't even get the scene of how Riku turned into Ansem (something we had to wait for in 358/2 Days).
Just about any boss can be taken down with spamming shotlock, even on critical.
Coming at this as not crazy about Disney nor the FFX characters.
This is an incredibly polished experience. Every edge of this thing has been buffed to a shine. It's a pleasure to play it.
And my god, that music. Wow.
My only complaint is that it's not digital, and this game makes my super slim drive super noisy.

I remember the first time I was near the end of the game, I really thought it was going to end with
Riku and Sora chilling at the beach.
Just completed the tutorial phase of the game (i.e. the first three hours), now it's time to attack the real meat of the game, and see all of these final mix additions!
Yokos music is the best thing to come out of the entire series. Every game in the series has wonderful music that you remember years after the game is put away.
I like a lot of the remixes =(

Yes. The game prevents you at some point.
Ugh, I forgot how much of a grind levelling Final Form can be.
Decided I wanted to get my Growth abilities up before taking on
again. Being unable to close the gap near the end of the fight has made cost me enough times.
The Cerberus Cup trick was nice in unlocking both Final Form, and the trophy for 13 Anti-Form uses at least.

I thought grinding FF was pretty easy. Twilight town white room, just clear all the nobodies in the mansion, rinse repeat.
The only one i'm having issues with is that damn summon level. How are you supposed to use summon so many times in a row

Well, that restart glitch keeps happening so I guess I'll never be able to finish this game. Sucks but i guess it's just bad luck.
Well yeah, but if Terra's your first playthrough there's a good chance you haven't really tried out shotlocks yet. To multiple people I know picking up BBS immediately after 2 they're hitting a wall at Enchanted Dominion's boss and not even trying shotlocks or D-Links.
Only while he's summoned.

I liked the Tinkerbell summon better in the first KH and actually I think that's the only useful summon out of the two games.

Fantasia makes the Heartless easy now, wow.
There's a really good video by Bizkit. Summons level with each depleted drive right?
He basically used Stitch on that Mushroom in Agrabah. I think he had drive converter, so he kept regenerating his depleting drive bar. It looked like the easiest thing in the world.
I believe you'll need the Sweet Memories keychain from 100 Acre Wood.
Don't even need that. Just dealing damage will regen the Summon gauge. Takes about around 5ish minutes to get to max level.

100 Acre Wood is the most different out of all the words and it's pretty easy to forget about it. In all the discussions about worlds in KH, 100 Acre Wood always seems to be among the least mentioned.

Alright, Pride Lands time!

WHY GAME?

WHY GAME?
This game really needed a Retry button. SE was too lazy to program one.
I love, love, love the 100 Acre Wood. It's a great distraction from everything else in the games.
I'm so grateful there's no Heartless/Nobodies or combat at all. It would spoil it.
Go ahead and spam limit form. It works

Finally got glide! Time to get some of those puzzle pieces.
Brah, sora knew at the end of 1 that kairi would be alright (thats what i inferred)
Riku on the other hand had the doors to KH close on him, so Sora's probly thinking the worst.
The awesomeness of Bambi from the first game and Stitch from KH2FM should not be overlooked.
Don't do this.
Critical is brutal to be sure but it gets easier. Truly the best experience from the game comes from critical imo. Learn to dodge attacks and once you get reflect get that on a short cut asap and use it.
I wish I knew this earlier but Goofy's
Majestic Mushroom+
Keep at it. Just grind levels along the way to get new abilities. The more powerful Sora gets, the easier the game becomes.
On critical mode you become sort of like a glass cannon. Proud mode isn't necessarily easier. In the early parts of the game it's arguably tougher than critical.
