As a KH fan I hate to admit I didn't get 2.8. Is it worth grabbing with 1.5 and 2.5 bestbuy deal

No chains on this one like the previous, and KH2 Sora's face is a little off. It's got two pins for support.
Damn... I still want it though. Gotta have all the official KH trading pins.
I thought Nomura is super strict on how Sora is depicted on any official merchandise? I guess this slipped his watchful eye.

If you want the full experience, then yes. 2.8 directly sets up 3.

Sad to say i'm still experiencing stuttering in 2FM with the day 1 patch it only seems to happen in cutscenes and when i open a chest it seems to happen every so often
it's a shame because almost everything else so far has been great.

I just wanted to say that I'm going to disagree with the OP about the order in which is recommended to play these games. While the order of release was Kingdom Hearts 2 and then 358/2 days...I think the fact that 358/2 days is part of the 1.5 collection is telling.
I played KH2 when it originally came out, and I recall it always left me scratching my head and so damn confused about the motivations of characters. In a series full of confusion, adding more doesn't help I think. In my attempt to start going through the series again, and experience the ones I had not recently, I went through the games from 1.5 before this collection came out.
I can immediately say that after finally seeing 358/2 days story, it makes things make a whole lot more sense for KH2. I wish I had this context prior to playing KH2, and found it annoying as hell that I didn't have this knowledge prior to KH2. So yeah....don't play KH2 before 358/2 days. Just my experience saying that it doesn't make appreciating KH2 any easier.

Hello, can you give us information please.
Ps4 or ps4 pro
ps4 up to date ? How much free space do you have on ps4 ?
Digital or physical
streaming / recording ? Downloading anything ?
thank you.
edit :
For the record, there has been one case of bad stuttering on regular ps4 digital. But since most of you guys here don't have them, we have no idea what is the cause. It seems random at the moment.

What about the FF characters questions?

Just to mention it, I'd bought both collections through Best Buy on pre-order for each release on the day it was released, so, separate orders.
I chatted with Support, provided all of the information, link to the $20 off bundle offer along with the two order numbers.
The first agent took the information and couldn't assist because of her more limited options and transferred the chat to another level. In both situations I explained that it would be impossible for me to take advantage of since the first collection is beyond return policy and the offer only came out 1 day after the release of the second collection as well as that I always pre-order to get items day 1.
The second agent reviewed the case and will issue the credit back to my charge card as a courtesy.
If any of you are in the same boat where you ordered both collections through Best Buy and got them both on release date and want the credit, you might give Customer Service chat or phone a try. It may take a bit of transferring or effort, but you might get that $20 back.

Depends. All those affect are how long it takes you to level up: dawn takes the most EXP to get 99 but you level up faster before the halfway point, midday is balanced and dusk is least EXP needed to hit the cap but you level slower in the beginning.

There's also the 1.5 pin. That was launch event at Disney exclusive.

I got 1.5, but mine has an art book or something instead of a pin, I think?
Edit: Ah that was launch event exclusive, no way I could get that one. I was just thinking it would be part of the box when I went to pick t up today so it was kind of disappointing.
Because in KH2FM it's the most rewarding way to beat the game (never managed to do it myself).
It's pretty damn tedious in all of other games, though.

Back in KH2FM they started giving you that ability to do Level 1 runs of the game as a challenge. You still get boosts to your HP and plenty of abilities since many of them are tied to completing encounters so you still get stronger.

so we got some new Nomura art since the series is 15 years old now
boy he likes that chair pose
the challenge, like trying to beat these game at level is such a interesting, fun and hard challenge

Really warming up to the KH3 outfit.
As others said it's for additional challenge.
In KHFM HD it's... Not the best. Basically it's doable, but the game wasn't balanced with it in mind.
2FM however is perfectly balanced for level 1 runs on Critical mode, due to the abilities they give you, and the way damage scaling with EXP Zero equipped functions. It can be frustrating at times, but it's so much fun and rewarding.
I imagine for BbSFM it's a lot like in KHFM HD.

I know it's meant to be a throwback to the other "Sora on a throne" art pieces, but this one actually reminds me of another brown haired main character sitting on a throne.
Also, the only game where Level 1 doesn't suck outside of KH2FM is 358/2 Days, surprisingly, since it's the one of the only post KHII games that had ways to increase your stats outside of keyblades and leveling up. Re:Coded kinda fits too, but Olympus Coliseum in that game is almost purely luck based on a Level 1 run.

You're not gonna regret it. Runs and looks fantastic.
I can confirm it doesn't crash for me on ps4pro...

BBS is a mix of the both of them
you still get to use alot of the tools you would see in a normal play though like KH2 but the ability it's self gives some hidden buffs that the game doesn't tell you like KH1
I lied earlier, I've played through Chain of Memories on GBA in both modesIs it worth it to replay the game in Re:? The jump to 3D has to make the game pretty sizably different.
If you like CoM, sure. The cutscenes are nice, though one can always YouTube them
Also a change at the end is
Marluxia has a third form
Ah that's good at least.

Alright so going to platinum 1 and 2 first up is 1 and first run I'm doing a beginner difficulty, no changing equipment, no continuing, and beating the game in under 15 hours. After doing that I'll be doing a majority of the other achievements on that file and then doing a run on proud to finish up.
Should be pretty easy overall, I almost platinumed KH1 on PS3 but I couldn't take running through the game 3 separate times. KH2 I did platinum though all on one save on critical and its one of my favorite experiences, will certainly do so again.
Oh and the Orchestra version of Hikari is still the single best song in gaming ever.

And a boss fight against
Zexion
Speaking of Exp Zero, I never checked for myself, but did they ever re-balance it in DDD HD to work like in KH1FM and BBS HD? Or is it still the same shitshow?

they also made
the Zexion encounter during riku story into a boss fight instead of a cutscene

Got my copy! But I don't know if I should continue where I left off by playing Chain of Memories or if I should start over again from Kingdom Hearts 1. Took forever to get the gummies and synthesis items as well as beating all the secret bosses so I don't know if I want to do that again.

I think a case can be made for both methods, though I agree that the "official" order would be far more palatable for newcomers. The handful of things that spoil KHII in 358/2 Days are outweighed by the context it gives to pretty much everything Org. XIII related, in my opinion.
Here's a fun anecdote: I had two friends that bought both of the PS3 remasters. Never played any of the games, and asked myself and another mutual friend which order to play them in. I said to play them as they were laid out in the collections, the other said the same thing, but added that skipping to KHII after CoM was necessary. The friend that followed my advice is pretty much all caught up now and enjoys the series (though Re:CoM was kind of a drag for him). The other one got as far as KHII before giving up because the plot was vague, and he didn't understand why he was supposed to care about some (literal) nobody taking up the game's prologue.
Thanks for the tip. This would be really cool if this happens. Can you tell me exactly what you said please. I'm elite and have the special number so even more reason for them to do this for me.

Yea i'm playing on a PS4 Pro 1080p TV with an NA physical copy and I have been streaming my run from the ps4 so my ps4 is up to date I have about 400gb left on my HDD
When you don't stream, do you experience the same issues ?
BroodShadow
Member
I have not tried it without streaming yet but I will try loading a save from hollow bastion since I had a lot of stuttering in the cutscenes with Org XIII members,it tends to happen right after the camera changes positions.
Just to be very clear this is what it looks like when it stutters real bad https://clips.twitch.tv/ScaryWealthyLaptopKlappa as far as I remember that never happened on ps2 or ps3 for that matter.
It happens about 15sec in.
We've been playing on pro all day and we have no issues.
So I'm thinking streaming could be one of the reason. Somehow.
BroodShadow

So it goes without saying that it needs to be tested more but on the good news the stuttering as a whole was lessened severely when I was not streaming.
The only stutter I was able to reproduce was the one I linked in my last post outside of that i did not run into the opening chest stutter at all. Though keep in mind i only redid the start of hollow bastion twice.
