This is an awesome video, though. Let me put this is in the first post. Thanks! ![:D](http://www.atrl.net/forums/images/smilies/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

You should still watch this eventually lol. Each Kingdom Hearts game has like 10 plot points that are easily not picked up on and since the story is a giant mess the video helps you keep track of what the hell is going on. I've played all the games except for that useless Coded but I learned a lot after watching the video.

1.5 already came out and 2.5 is on its way... I think the former's still $40, but you're getting three games for the price!

Do 1.5 and 2.5 have all the "stuff" from the KH from other consoles? I do have a 3DS, so I could buy that one (is it any good? ![Dancehall Queen](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/atrlers/dancehall_zps88e4c4c6.png) ).

1.5 has the Final Mix (i.e. The version with the extra material and bosses) of KHI, Re: Chain of Memories (the 3D remake), and a cut scene movie of 358/2 days (which, believe me is a steal)...
2.5 will have the Final Mix of KHII, KH:BBS Final Mix, and a cut scene movie of Coded. The only thing it won't have is DDD, but since you have a 3DS, that shouldn't be a problem...

Today I decided to load my original save file for KH1, after years of not trying, and I FINALLY beat Ice Titan
Now I just need to take out Sephiroth, and I will have finally beaten all of the optional bosses ![rip](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRLSmilies/rip_zpsec10ede9.gif)

I'm pretty sure there's already a thread for this but whatever
1. KH2
2. DDD
3. BBS
4. KH1
5. Re: CoM
but admittedly nothing they make will ever have the childhood nostalgia as the first game

I remember it took me forever to beat the Ice Titan because I didn't know about Aeroga being useless and Block being useful...
What really threw me first time playing was Phantom because I didn't grasp the concept of using magic effectively...
Sephiroth actually became easy 'cause all that was in my mind was "dodge that long ass sword, roll out of there, hit 'em, hit 'em, hit 'em!!!" ![ahh](images/smilies/images/smilies/ahh.gif)

what part of childhood nostalgia do you not understand girl
and besides the storyline, order and plots for the worlds, like almost all of it was so much simpler in the beginning but then like the details in the plot started getting SO complicated

Get it! ![Duca](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/atrlers/duca_zps480ab501.gif) 1.5 is fantastic, I'm just about to begin Halloween Town (my favorite world ![worship2](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/310230f4.gif) ). It looks really nice considering it's a remastering too, get it ASAP! And then 2.5 is gonna be out not too long after you finish KH and KH:COM.
I haven't played Birth by Sleep, Re:coded, or Dream Drop Distance, but I know for a fact no game will ever surpass KH2 as my all-time favorite video game. ![weeps](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRLSmilies/52b0f867.gif) It just won't happen. That game is like the symbol of my childhood. And I'll have played all 7 games by the end of the year, so I'll make my official ranking of them all then. ![Keir](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/atrlers/keir_zps24e7c972.gif)

@DVnR you should play those! KH2 is also my all-time favorite, but it's not #1 on my professional rankings:
1. Birth By Sleep
2. Kingdom Hearts II
3. Dream Drop Distance
4. 358/2 Days
5. Kingdom Hearts
6. Chain of Memories/Re: Chain of Memories
7. Re: Coded
BBS is the best gameplay, battle system and plot I've seen from a KH game. It's also short and sweet, so it doesn't stretch its limits. KH2 is the second best mixture of all of those, with enough gameplay and battle system nostalgia that makes you appreciate the first game more after CoM, while still evolving and adding onto what's already there. That and it's just a really fun gaming experience.
Next is Dream Drop Distance, another outstanding evolution for the gameplay and battle system which I personally love playing a million times. this is technically my second favorite KH game, but from a professional standpoint the plot is meh and there are other more obvious flaws, but it's still really fun and its flow keeps you going, along with the impressive thematic elements used in the featured worlds. 358/2 Days, simply because the plotline itself keeps you invested. the gameplay is rough and a little confusing, but you get it within several missions after the tutorials in Twilight Town. And then there's the first, iconic, game that sets the stage and is enough to get you hooked. the battle system is complicated, but you can tell that it's a basic layout for something much better, and the plot and worlds are so much simpler that you just randomly play the game out of nostalgia. Sometimes I play it because the series used to be so much simpler.
The last few games are sort of the weaker games of the series imo. I actually loved CoM, but there were very obvious flaws in the battle system that get me steamed even now. And then there's Coded which is my least favorite for many reasons. Primarily, it serves little purpose in the overall story arc, and it's also its gameplay is almost a carbon copy of 358/2 Days. It's cute, but generally it's pointless and just a minor digression from the bigger picture with one connection to the Xehanort arc.
My 2 cents from an objective outlook.

I'm definitely going to! I'm gonna play DDD over the summer and BBS with 2.5; Re:coded is a mess from what I've heard so I feel like the HD cinematics will be good enough for me tbh.
I'm beyond excited for Birth by Sleep. ![JonnyϟLightning](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/atrlers/jonny_zpsc73391c5.png) I've heard nothing but great things about it.

i'm so mad that everything's being sold on the PS3, i don't have one and KH3 is going onto next gen consoles. the PS4 isn't receiving the remixes and doesn't play old generations either, so i'm stuck with getting the Xbox One. Not that I'm complaining, but just, the recent releases are so stupid and Sony just makes me angry sometimes
BBS is a really good game. I don't know how else to stress it just assldjhfjksdfhdjkslfhsadl

^I'm surprised you actually like the gameplay in 358/2 Days… I found it incredibly repetitive… The story barely kept me occupied! KHII's story was intriguing and the gameplay was fluid, but it was just too easy; there was no challenge. BBS & DDD do a marvelous job on the fighting system and the story, while KHI's clunky, yet challenging game mechanics made it more of an effort to win the game IMO!
Where you got COM & Coded is perfect… gameplay's fine but the story is so boring in Coded, while the story is great, but the gameplay is horrendous in COM…

I never played Kingdom of hearts or understood the premise, but I most likely will get the new one that's coming out. ![Eddie](http://i44.tinypic.com/10wpuzr.png)
