I'm making a new thread since I know a lot of people were curious about this one.

The lists are now online.

There are three lists, one for each game. Kingdom Hearts Final Mix and Re:Chain of Memories both have platinums. 358/2 Days has a PSN game trophy list.

There are custom icons for each trophy, but surprisingly the games themselves share the same icon.

• Here are the lists (in Japanese -- warning, possible spoilers):

KINGDOM HEARTS FINAL MIX

KINGDOM HEARTS Re:Chain of Memories

KINGDOM HEARTS 358/2 Days

• Lists translations by KH Insider (spoilers if you haven't played the games):

[Wario64]

[WeaponKnight]

I don't want to wait until the US release

 

[Soriku]

I guess I'll finally play KH2 now

Wait, this doesn't have KH2 huh

Please wait a little longer

for KH2.5 Remix

[mullet2000]

So you get trophies for watching a video of 358/2 Days' cutscenes?

That's pretty hilarious.

 

[Squire]

Whoa. Double Platinum. Sweet.

 

[Tokyo Rain]

I haven't played any of the KH games before. Is this the logical place to start?

 

[Seda]

I will get these plats

 

[mullet2000]

It looks like there's a trophy for speed-running the first game within 15 hours.

 

[badgenome]

I don't like trophies, and I don't like people who like trophies. I'm too cool for trophies. Trophies are ruining gaming.

Spoiler

I can't wait to get all those trophies!

 

[Andrefpvs]

I haven't played any of the KH games before. Is this the logical place to start?

Yes, no doubt about that. It's intended to bring new fans to the series.

 

[Qblivion]

Too bad trophies weren't a thing when I 100%ed this as a kid.

 

[Mr. Fix]

Where's my platinum for having to put myself through Days?

 

[Seda]

I haven't played any of the KH games before. Is this the logical place to start?

Yes. Looks like they are planning to make a pair of remake collections which will contain the series as a whole, for the most part.

 

[Celestial]

Sephiroth trophy!!!!Yeah baby you are mine.

 

[Derrick01]

6 trophies in that one game, are they serious??

 

[Seven Force]

KH1FM seems like it'll be pretty easy to plat. Chain of Memories seems a bit grindy, though. Especially the "Card Break 1500 times" trophy.

I haven't played any of the KH games before. Is this the logical place to start?

Yep.

6 trophies in that one game, are they serious??

It's barely even a game, to be fair.

 

[ubercheez]

So you get trophies for watching a video of 358/2 Days' cutscenes?

That's pretty hilarious.

Look, it's about time somebody rewarded me for how good I am at watching videos.

 

[Roubjon]

6 trophies in that one game, are they serious??

That one game is a collection of cutscenes. So it's either stupid or great that you can get 6 trophies for it.

 

[TheChits]

Too bad trophies weren't a thing when I 100%ed this as a kid.

I did everything on that list except for never change equipment. Screw that

 

[Seda]

6 trophies in that one game, are they serious??

It's a 3 hour movie basically.

 

[SmithnCo]

So you get trophies for watching a video of 358/2 Days' cutscenes?

That's pretty hilarious.

Haha, that's awesome. It's like pity trophies.

 

[Derrick01]

That one game is a collection of cutscenes. So it's either stupid or great that you can get 6 trophies for it.

Oh ok I didn't know that.

I wish this came with KH2 instead though. Leave it to SE to come up with the weird collection.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Well, I'm game. Can't wait for the NA release.

 

[WrenchNinja]

"Please watch this shitty story. Theres trophies in it for you"

 

[R10Neymarfan]

At $40 this game will be a steal can't wait till the Fall.

 

[TCKaos]

I haven't played any of the KH games before. Is this the logical place to start?

Yeah, it's got pretty much everything you need to start out. But if you want to get caught up it's going to take a bunch of shit.

There are a couple ways to do this. To get everything you're going to need a:
-PS2
-Nintendo DS
-PSP
-3DS

GBA is optional, as Re:CoM is a PS2 remake of CoM, which was originally for the PS2.

Release order is the traditional way, I guess. You'd learn all of the plot details at the same time that we all did and in the same order. Some stuff can get confusing, but you'd generally be okay:

-Kingdom Hears (PS2)
-CoM/Re:CoM (GBA/PS2)
-Kingdom Hearts 2 (PS2)
-352/8 Days (NDS)
-Birth by Sleep (PSP)
-Re:Coded (NDS)
-Dream Drop Distance (3DS)

If a game has a Final Mix variant that you can get your hands on then it's preferred, but they haven't been localized so you're not going to have much luck. KH2:Final Mix+ has been translated through patches so if you're in to emulation it's worth a look.

Now if you play the games in chronological order it'd give you a decent grasp of the plot from the get go. It'd go something like this:

-Birth by Sleep
-Kingdom Hearts
-352/8 Days and CoM/Re:CoM (these two take place concurrently)
-Kingdom Hearts 2
-Re:Coded
-Dream Drop Distance

This way you'll see shit coming that we didn't see as we played each game for the first time. Some parts of the franchise become much more tragic (the prologue to KH2, anybody?) and others make slightly more sense.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Are the 358/2 really just for watching it?
That's pretty funny. I'd assume one would be marathon or something (watch without pausing)

 

[Viola of the Abyss]

I will definitely try to get KH1 platinum, Chain of Memories maybe not... most certainly not.
That "finish the game without changing equipment" could be scary though.

I guess that KH 2.5 info will have to wait until TGS at least.

 

[Wynnebeck]

No bounce the White Mush 100 times trophy? Thank you Lord.

 

[Andrefpvs]

"Please watch this shitty story. Theres trophies in it for you"

You Will Cry ;__;

 

[Black Republican]

Please wait a little longer

Spoiler

for KH2.5 Remix

.

Kingdom Hearts 2 1/3

 

[WrenchNinja]

You Will Cry ;__;

But who will I eat ice cream with!?!

I admit, I do actually like 358/2 Days story and got a little teary eyed in the end.

 

[onimushroom]

I think I did everything possible in KH1 on the PS2 and I think I want to try again on the PS3.

 

[LiquidSolid]

Kingdom Hearts Final Mix has trophies for:
Finish on hardest difficulty (Proud)
Finish without changing equipment
Finish under 15 hours
Finish without using one continue

So I guess it'll require at least a couple of playthroughs.

 

[Pooya]

They really want everyone to suffer through 358/2 :lol

 

[R10Neymarfan]

Kingdom Hearts Final Mix has trophies for:
Finish on hardest difficulty (Proud)
Finish without changing equipment
Finish under 15 hours
Finish without using one continue

So I guess it'll require at least a couple of playthroughs.

Some should be easy especially under 15 hours because of how easily you can skip worlds completely. Not to mention finishing worlds in under 30 minutes.

 

[Seven Force]

Kingdom Hearts Final Mix has trophies for:
Finish on hardest difficulty (Proud)
Finish without changing equipment
Finish under 15 hours
Finish without using one continue

So I guess it'll require at least a couple of playthroughs.

Well, if it's like any other game with trophies for beating games on different difficulties, beating it on the highest difficulty would probably net you the trophies for the other difficulties.

As for the other three trophies, I guess that's something easily done on one playthrough of Beginner Mode.

 

[Vashetti]

I don't want to wait until the US release

 

[corn_fest]

Was hoping I'd be able to platinum KH without multiple playthroughs. Ah well.

 

[pantsmith]

Kind of bummed about that speed running trophy. Not that its hard or anything, just that I was hoping to take my time AND do everything. Guess that means I'll need to do 2 playthroughs :/

 

[corn_fest]

Looks like the quickest way to get them will be to do a 'real' run on Proud, and then a no-equipment change speedrun on Normal or Easy. That's what I'll be doing, anyway.

 

[Canis lupus]

Was hoping I'd be able to platinum KH without multiple playthroughs. Ah well.

You need more than 1 playthrough?

ah nvm: saw the mention of speed run trophy, 15 hours...

 

[ubercheez]

You need more than 1 playthrough?

ah nvm: saw the mention of speed run trophy, 15 hours...

Yeah, also doing a no-eq change run on Proud doesn't sound fun.

 

[Seda]

Re:CoM play will have a fair amount of grinding (like completing the journal, getting all the cards) but it will be mine regardless.

 

[SmithnCo]

Looks like the quickest way to get them will be to do a 'real' run on Proud, and then a no-equipment change speedrun on Normal or Easy. That's what I'll be doing, anyway.

Yeah, I'm thinking a fast no-equipment-change run on easy to get those out of the way.

 

[JazzmanZ]

Yes. Looks like they are planning to make a pair of remake collections which will contain the series as a whole, for the most part.

thank god, I'd really like to play Birth by sleep, but I don't want to shell out the money for a PSP and a copy of the game.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

3 gold trophies for just the Days cutscenes :lol.

Finish without changing equipment
Finish under 15 hours
Finish without using one continue

Should be easy enough if you can do it on Final Mix Beginner. Apparently that mode is piss easy.

 

[Data West]

How far down the pipeline do you think 2.5 HD is? They can't take THAT much longer as I'm sure Square wants to start pumping out next gen stuff.

 

[Deleted member 20920]

How far down the pipeline do you think 2.5 HD is? They can't take THAT much longer as I'm sure Square wants to start pumping out next gen stuff.

They've been making this before FFX HD was announced so probably not that fast.
