From HD 1.5:
1) Kingdom Hearts Final Mix - Essentially a remake of the first Kingdom Hearts.
2) Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories - A high-definition remake of the GBA game Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, which takes place between Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II.
3) Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days - This is a remake of the DS game of the same name, which also takes place between Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II. The catch: They removed all the gameplay. The version included in this compilation is a three-hour cinematic version of the story.
From HD 2.5:
1) Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix - A remake of the second Kingdom Hearts.
2) Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix - This is an HD version of the PSP game Birth by Sleep, which is a prequel to the first game. It’s an important one to play if you want to understand the Kingdom Hearts story. Just kidding. Nobody understands the Kingdom Hearts story.
3) Kingdom Hearts Re:coded - Just like 358/2 Days before it, this is a cinematic retelling of the DS game Kingdom Hearts Re:coded. It takes place after Kingdom Hearts II.
Still following? Basically, 1.5 is Kingdom Hearts and the games that followed it, while 2.5 is Kingdom Hearts II and the games that followed it, which makes logical sense and would be pretty straightforward if not for all the other dumb twists and turns. Like our third game:
Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue
Now we’re getting into batshit insane territory. Bear with me. Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, which comes out in January for PS4, is actually a compilation of three games:
1) Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD - a high-definition port of the 3DS game Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance, which came out in 2012. This is the most recent Kingdom Hearts game
2) Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth by Sleep–A Fragmentary Passage - This is a new playable episode of the story that takes place right after Birth by Sleep and stars one of its main characters, Aqua. It’s not clear why it’s called “0.2.” Presumably director Tetsuya Nomura meant for it to combine with 2.8 to lead to Kingdom Hearts III, but it’s actually part of 2.8, so... you know what? Let’s not think about this too much.
3) Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover - I’m exhausted. Is anyone else exhausted? This one is, according to Square Enix, “a new HD movie that tells the mysterious story of the Foretellers and connects to the earliest parts of the series’ history.”

Spoiler: It wont. Same as pretty much every Japanese multiplatform game on the XB. Even on FFXV the sales were near 80% on PS.

Nah, I think it's coming on PC. As per protocol they'll just dump it on Steam with little fanfare.

Yeah Square Enix is prefer money-money-money than loyalty/friendship (exclusive title), the origins of Japanese culture i suppose.
Oh yeah that's Yakuza title too, but sadly still no Yakuza 6 release date for Pc and Xbox One.

I’m definitely on board to buy this again on Xbox, especially with the better controller and if it is X enhanced like the 3rd one.
