The PS4 bundle is the best version so far ("Story So Far") but you:
- Wont play them
- Play them, get disgusted by the archaic mechanics
- Because KH1 is so old
- Try to KH2 and realise this isnt about Disney anymore (and also has the worst tutorial ever)
- Watch a story summary (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oV2DcmIK1rU) and realise that LOST made more sense
- Decide fuck KH3 and pick up Resident Evil 2 instead

You dont really need to play COM, its basically what happens between KH1 and 2, and by playing KH2 you already have a general idea.
Sora goes somewhere, deals with [some] Org13 members, gets shoved into the capsule, the end
All the surprises and explanations of the new characters are in KH2

Yeah, that's what I figured. I don't freak out over "you don't know everything you'll be lost!!" I'm pretty anti-handheld so all those DS/3DS games never interested me.
I do plan on running those HD movie summary things on the PS3 compilations in the background while I work for the trophies, though. :lol
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix includes both Kingdom Hearts Final Mix and Re:Chain of Memories in high-definition and with trophy support

Dunno about the PS3 collections but the PS4/XB1 collections have Re:Chain Of Memories playable as a fully-3D game. Can't remember if the 3D remake of it is something new or something they did on PS2 for one of the re-releases.
EDIT: It's on PS3 too.QuoteKingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix includes both Kingdom Hearts Final Mix and Re:Chain of Memories in high-definition and with trophy support
Yeah you should probably not bother with COM in any capacity
Though the GBA art is phenomenal pixel porn
The orignal KH is the best. Nice and simple.

I won't buy these games until Disney acquires the WWE and Kingdom Hearts 4 has wrestlers in it(https://i.imgur.com/lfLmymgl.jpg)
Anyhoo, just wanna comment that I love how this game is so self-aware and trolling SE. It's kinda amazing. Like the fact half the shit I've seen in this game so far slipped by the SE higher ups is lol
https://youtu.be/AXIZ8ttQ79Y
Man I wanna fuck around in Toy Story. :-[ No PS4 or XBONE here though. :doge
The orignal KH is the best. Nice and simple.
Except the gameplay is complete and utter ass, with some of the worst camera work and jump mechanics mankind has ever wrought upon this world.
If the game didn't have Disney and FF on it, it wouldn't have gotten a sequel.
(I'm forcing myself through it slowly, it actually froze on my PS3 after beating Ursula)
Bebpo this isn't linear corridor fest like KH2?!

It’s not open world but it’s no FFXIII HD is hard by any measure.

I don't want open world. I want the return to exploration focused worlds as seen in KH1. Learning to fly was a game changer in that. Being teased by chests you couldn't reach and needing a secret, higher ability to get it. Flying through Hollow Bastion. The level design was fantastic.

KH1 has quirks and kinks like a wonky camera but the game is great imo.

I dunno, it's a LOT of back tracking through painfully small rooms (which I get they wanted a lot of areas, but cmon), some awful floaty jumping, and cringe tastic voice acting. Plus some Disney music on weird loops that make you want to break things. The gummi ship customization controls are incomprehensibly bad, and all the other systems just feel shallow.
Also it has far too many mini games.
Gonna finally do what I couldn't back in 2003 and sit down and play through KH1. It's about time I dive headfirst into this series, it's one of my biggest RPG blank spots now that I finally beat a Pokemon game last year.
birth by sleep also has some of the most convoluted shit in KH thus far. melding, command board, science projects
KISS - let me just level up and get abilities. done
The game is stupid easy on Normal difficulty, but it's a lot of fun. My daughter and I got up to the beginning of Toy Box last night and she's having a blast helping.

When you say “helping”, does it have co op?!
I'm not really seeing much depth or variety with combat, encounters, or what you actually do moment to moment. Cutscene, mob of generic enemies show up, spam magic that's an elemental counter to enemies, hit the 80 button prompts that show up, mash attack to get those prompts back, and repeat.Yeah, with the amount of stuff the game pushes at you I can't say depth would be the right word. Or at least as far as regular gameplay goes.
Also, the number of cutscenes that take you out of gameplay, only to show you an enemy you're going to fighting 15 seconds later....it's quite ridiculous.
I guess I was trying to get at the mechanics having the potential for depth (parries/launchers/keyblade switching/flowmotion/focus/elementals/meals) but in reality the game is a lot more of a spectacle than I'd like.
Still really, really fun though.
Post Game Spoilersspoiler (click to show/hide)There really isn’t one. Buy KH3FM in a few years I guess.[close]
Secret Movie Spoilersspoiler (click to show/hide)I like TWEWY as much as the next guy but if they wasted the secret ending for this on an ad for god damn crossover paid DLC I swear to christ.[close]
Frozen world was boring as fuck.
And of course they had to throw in two songs. My daughter even thought that was weird. "Why didn't Tangled get songs, that's a better movie Dad."
The Lion King is blatant theft. I don’t think they’ve ever had a Lion King world ever in KH and I’m pretty sure it’s because it’s made by Japanese people.
:lol
I haven’t played a kingdom hearts game since 2 and I haven’t played that game since release. I don’t remember shit and 1 is a great game.
Oh right. I haven’t played KhII in yearrrrs. Not a fan.

0.2 is pretty awful, don't get your hopes up
I played it last year, and it's probably safe to say it was the worst "game" that I actually had the chance to play.
It feels really weird, and it's more of a cheap tech demo that feels like it wasn't made for the public.

Also, has nobody else gotten the secret ending? :doge
And the rest of the DLCs that got cancelled are being released as a novel!
But I remember this shit back when I was playing The Pied Piper on 8-bit mobile for Xenosaga ep1 tie-in, or ZoE where you had to watch the anime, play the GBA game and ZoE1 for ZoE2. Or Destiny 1 where you had to read the online lore cards. Game industry's been doing this shit forever. I'm surprised MGS never went in that direction and the most you ever had to play was a PSP game with Peace Walker. Portable Ops was like never mentioned again and the old MSX/NES originals barely mattered after MGS1.
Fun fact: if you download and start up the phone game right now, there's a popup that says "Hello KH3 gamers! Start playing through the story of this mobile title to see what crucial lore you can learn! This boy is named Ephemer, and when you meet him the story really begins!"
"Note: you meet Ephemer on Mission #327"
:dead
The ride never ends.

Are they charging for this DLC?
That's not Noctis, that's Yozora from Verum Rex.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFFi7w2jOt0
Though fans *have* spotted Versus references in this scene, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Is this dlc woven into the main game or some post game stuff?
I haven’t played through KH3 yet.
Lol, what do you think hombre

Yozora is blatantly Noctis. :lol that post credits scene of KH3 shows Sora and Riku in TWEWY and Versus XIII, respectively, nomura's two cancelled passion projects. And now, Yozora, who is literally nothing but a noctis stand in from a fictional hit rpg series, is seemingly an important figure to the franchise's future. Nomura is dumbbb
I just need an estimated length before I purchase. $30 is a huge price for dlc and I don't want to spend that in something that might be under 10 hours of content
The moves that they added to Sora's moveset are really, really good, and bring his mobility much more in line with his KH2 self. The update didn't alter any content in the main game, just enhanced the visuals in places (cleaned up CG, redid skyboxes, made some character models nicer), but it plays better.
I'll jump into the new postgame/boss fight stuff later.
Can you play the boss rush stuff at normal functioning human being difficulty levels just to get through it all or is it stupid difficult no matter what?

I'm not sure if you can utilize them during the new episodes, but they added a bunch of cheat settings you can now use during the main game, so if it allows that you should be able to coast through no matter what.

I played through KHIII on the normal difficulty and the game was a nice challenge but still beatable. I knows nerds are gonna nerd, but I always see comments like these extra bosses being damn near impossible and wonder.
Still, $30 seems really fucking steep for what is there.
wait this doesn't update KH3 either? behind. the final mixes of 1 and 2 took those games from 3/5s to 5/5s and 3 really could've used some improvements. and 4 hours for the main campaign? I'll wait for a price drop. I'm sure what's there will be fun but that's just too much damn money for an afternoon of gaming.
Did they ever tone down ride attraction moves and magic spamming?
Calling it a story campaign is generous; it's literally just the end of the game again. You get to see all the same cutscenes again, with certain scenes extended, but it also definitely isnt just the end of the game because at the end you fight a different final boss and it also doesnt retell the final boss fight despite forcing you to replay literally every encounter prior.
This would have been so much better as actual extra scenes applied to the base game; it's like a weird, jarring clip show. Or viewing deleted scenes in the dvd extras. What it definitely isnt is an improvement.
It's amazing how the format itself assassinated the storytelling; this needed to be a final mix, rather than a seperate, disjointed experience. I paid thirty bucks for this, but christ i wish i just paid sixty for final mix and could resell my old copy. And new customers would be able to pay $60 for a fixed game rather than $90 for a story that is still told in such an awkward fashion.
The bulk of the new story seems to be located after the limit cut (boss rush) anyway, and thats where all the good fights are, so...what is the point of Remind? Why do it this way? Why not just fix the ending for free, for everyone, and charge me $30 for limit cut? The game is not better for this. The gameplay fixes and limit cut are the only things of worth. :lol
Tl;dr Remind is three hours but theres maybe half an hour of new shit, a couple great new setpieces and fights. The rest is exactly the same as the end of KH3.
I am like, :drudge red alert klaxons blaring :drudge asking you all not to buy this until it's at least half off. The boss fights are awesome but that's basically all you get.
The biggest change of all is the gameplay improvements to Sora's moveset in the base game, and I wasn't required to pay thirty dollars for that. :goty2

Shit, I bought and installed this last night.
Yeah, I'm not super interested in replaying the old game (I generally have an aversion to replaying content I've already played in games because it feels like a waste of my time). So the "Campaign" is replaying the last 3 hours of the game with a few new cutscenes/set pieces/boss fights and then...1 hour of new story/boss fights/true ending?
I'm assuming in the replay of the last 3 hours they've tweaked all the XIII boss fights to be better/cooler fights now? So at least it should feel fresh replaying those fights? Or are the fights the exact same and those refreshed boss fights are saved for some data boss fights elsewhere?
I guess at the end of the day at least since I liked KH3 and it's a fun action game there are worse things than replaying 3 hours of it (and it sounds like there's no Xenohart in chess land fight again which was the only part of the last 3 hours I didn't like, that fight went on forever and was frustratingly annoying), so will run through it over the weekend.
If I haven't touched the main game since launch when I beat it, are a lot of things different now?The biggest change of all is the gameplay improvements to Sora's moveset in the base game, and I wasn't required to pay thirty dollars for that. :goty2
Am I gonna notice these changes or are they hidden in menus on critical mode that I'll never notice?
I think people are just stirring up stuff to be dumb.
The Versus XIII stuff in KH is pretty clearly a joke/nod to their work on Versus XIII that got canned. People who think it's going to be some Major KH part of the next storyline is lol, it's going to essentially be a cameo bit like the FF characters in KH.
So I read some spoilers about the ending to this DLC and Nomura is either really leaning into embracing the concept of self mockery or he's going for an epic salty runback.wait is that noctis? wtf is this game?

Or he's just putting in cameo stuff from games he's worked on since those mean more to him.
Endgame content for endgame gear. How weird
When it comes out for Xbox
Ah, that's the hidden mickeys one, right?
Probably faster, but also requires wasting a bunch of hours doing dumb stuff (using a guide and getting all the lucky emblems), so will only go for it if the minigames give me trouble.
Oathbringer and the accessory/def gear from the lucky emblems makes a big difference. I googled on youtube to find videos of good players doing the Larxene fight so I could watch how they get through the DMs that I couldn't figure out.
What I found was every goddamn video of Larxene on youtube was someone playing 1000x worse than I did in my video. They don't know any of her attacks, how to dodge/guard them, how to counter them, they literally just use Oathbringer or Ultima weapon and fucking mash the fights using air recovery to get in combos and healing and win. :doge I couldn't find one fucking player that actually was playing the fight right and avoiding the enemy attacks. They do this on the secret boss because you have to, but on bosses like Larxene, you can mash through it with OP gear.
It definitely discourages me from wanting to play this when I feel like I'm putting in hours of effort learning the fights, and most people are just blitzing through mashing them with great gear and still win. I either need to gear up or give up at this point.
When it comes out for Xbox
Oh, didn't realize the xbox one comes later. Ok, good luck with it.
Nope - it was Leonard Nemoy for BBS, then some rando guy for KH3, and then Lloyd for this DLC
