Yeah, once this collection comes out the entire KH story will be on PS4. At that point the true wait for KH3 begins.
KZXcellent said:
Thanks guys. Maybe the wait will be long enough for me to digest the entire plot.
I've tried several videos and articles, and it never fully clicks.
But y'know, we work dull drab jobs so we can buy stuff like this and ruminate

The whole concept of Chain of Memories is awful though >.>
Chain of Memories is worth playing because it's a unique game in the series. Telling someone to avoid a game just because someone didn't like it is stupid. I would have been pissed if someone told me to skip CoM and have listened to them because I actually love that game.
Also KH2 does a very poor job explaining the events of that game. Especially Riku's story considering it never bother to explain how Riku manage to escape the Realm of Darkness and also learn to accept those powers.

Ding-ding-ding. You don't get to be the best by lifting levels from another game. Also don't know how the plot is better really, as it's essentially a retread of 1 for the majority.
It's far from the same. The plot is completely new right from the get go except for the same locales you visit. The original KH didn't have people backstabbing each other like crazy and Sora slowly turning into an asshole.
Seriously, the people that recommend playing 358/2 Days before KH2 are crazy. Why in the world would someone want to spoil the bigger game just do they have a better idea of what's happening in the 4-hour prologue?
Also, the movie in the 1.5 collection is terrible for completely skipping one of the best part of the game.

Ass combat system and the world explorations is even worse. The game fails miserably.
It's the only one that I will always advice people to avoid playing at all cost.

Which part? I never got around to watching it.
Garbage advice. The combat system has real strategy involved unlike "press triangle to win" and that can be fun for some people.
The retreaded worlds suck but you're playing through memories. It was intended to explain some things to set up for KH2. And the worlds play completely differently than in KH1.
It's worth trying.

I forget, what does Days spoil now?
I remember it just casually drops what
Kingdom Hearts actually is
Personally I'd recommend people actually play Days, because the cutscene movie skips a lot of stuff, and while not all of it was important, it definitely helped enforce the friendship between the three of them. It's kinda like the difference between being to know Yu's friends by playing Persona 4 compared to watching the anime of it. You get the key details, but you lose the connection.

From what I remember:
-Roxas being Sora's Nobody
-The Organization's plan
-I think it shows a bit of Axel and Saix's relationship
-Riku taking the form of Ansem
-The reason Roxas can dual wield keyblades
-The concept of the digital Twilight Town

I haven't seen the 1.5 movie, so it may not have covered everything that the game did.
no not yet.
If I can transfer my PS3 saves then maybe I will platinum the GOAT KH2 someday...
Some trophies are just annoying to get.
An action game where I need to set a combos before the battles. that's exactly what people hated in FFXV Duscae(thank God they fixed that since plainum demo) demo too. A shitty system that doesn't belong to any action game what so ever and that's just the gameplay part let alone the recycled content and bad/boring exploration and level design.
It deserved the bad scores it got imo.

Right, thanks.
I think the big part it skipped was the
Ven and Xigbar "You look like I just drowned your goldfish" bit.
You mean like KH2 reusing levels? And the plot is definitely not the same,for most of the game.at all, only the worlds you visit.
The disney worlds on Sora's side could arguably be cut out, but everything else is very important, and Riku's side in general is also important
The entire sequence of Roxas escaping The World That Never Was and his fight with Saix.
Completely ruined the movie for me considering the entire game was building up to that moment.
That was in it.

Man, between 2.8, 1.5+2.5, and FF12 HD, Square-Enix sure is rereleasing a lot in 2017. I wonder if DXHR (would buy) and an FF13 Trilogy (wouldn't buy) are also in the cards for next year.
Didn't an Xbox One version of FF13 leak on a rating board?

I mean good for you, but no one can honestly deny the Riku story in CoM is important when it comes to his character. Without it, his character development and actions in KH2 and 358/2 Days make no sense considering those games don't even bother to explain how he got there.

I know they prolly will be direct ports but I would kill for them to add a fourth spell shortcut for KH1.
Also there are a few bugs and stuff. Xemnas being the worst offender, followed by the Pink Agaricus triangle shenanigans. And a few minor nitpicks like copypaste translations from the original KH weapon descriptions that were outdated in FM (Dream Shield being one IIRC).

what was Xemnas problem again? was it triangle stuff cause i forget

The reaction command doesn't work correctly on that fight for whatever reason. To dodge the attack you need to reflect or limit break or something. Which sucks since if you are out of MP it could mean death.

oh your talking about KH2 Xemnas, i though you were taking about his KH1 fight
they also need to fix his first fight cause the game can crash on that fight

Just wish Square actually did a HD Remaster for Dragon Quest VIII. I'm going to buy the 3DS version, but it seems like a real missed opportunity.
the 3dS game is more like a remake, cause they had to scale down everything just to make it work, it wasn't 'port' of the PS2 version, which is still far technically superior.
I would recommend that for first-timers sure, but if someone is replaying the series I would recommend playing/watching 358 first.

I would legit buy this at a high price. Throw Stiltzkin in there too since he is at the HQ in KH2.

All about inference. I seemed to understand it as a 12 year old playing KH2 with no copy of CoM anyway.

Yes! Now I don't have to borrow a friend's PS3 to play them.
Kagari, do you know if that nonsense regarding KH being not available digitally has been resolved or not? Aren't all PS4 required to have a digital release? Or are they going to make an exception for the KH games?

Preordered from Amazon for $42 dollars. Wow.
Back when I bought them on PS3 for everything was about $80ish. This is an amazing deal. Specially to newcomers that haven't played them yet. The value is through the roof.

there was already exception with one of the puyo puyo games I think? So KH won't be the first if it happens.
