I think I’ve sufficiently recovered from the trauma of saving over my trophy hunting file enough that I’m willing to jump back and finish the job of platinuming KH3. I’m close! I’m at 74%!

The hardest parts will be treasures, lucky emblems, and synthesis, but I’m willing to use a guide. And I’ve already got Ultima Weapon; which cuts out a big chunk of the effort.

I also won’t have to bother with any minigames besides Frozen Slider, which is a relief.

I got my 7 yo sister to play KH1

What does she think of it?

Well she's been watching me play it but she likes it a lot

She just gets really pissy at the Riku race

Saw a tweet today that said something like “Starting the Kingdom Hearts series for the first time!” and I was like nice but then I looked at the next image he posted and it showed him starting with KH2

I mean I hope he has fun but dang

Might have been a joke

Nah it was real, he said he watched a summary of KH1 and COM

He also admitted he was barely able to follow the summary so good luck to him

...... that

ok

doesn't play the first game "the summary was hard to follow for some reason.." HMMM :thinking:

I started with KH2. He made a reasonable choice.

His motivation was that he heard it was the best one

I mean, he's not wrong.

Fair enough reason I suppose

Most popular anyway

Yeah, not my personal favorite but still a solid second place. Regardless, KH is such an episodic series that starting with 2 has the same energy as starting a TV series at season 2 because you heard it was the best season

I mean, KH is told out of order so you may as well start with a random episode

That’s fair, but order of release is generally king in most series even when they tell their stories out of order

Since prequels often assume you know what happens in stories set after

Like, KH1 is the only game that properly introduces what the Keyblade is

I would never, ever recommend starting a playthrough of the KH series in chronological order.

I think he’s fine. I started with 2 and i understood everything.

Do it in order of release, if you're going for all of them.

BBS just starts with three keyblade welders and you just gotta know what that even means

Not just Keyblade Wielders*, but there's *Masters, too.

Like, that's where the concept of Keyblade mastery is introduced.

Indeed

Tho I will also give credit to 2. While it certainly hopes you have played 1 and COM (and you honestly should for maximum enjoyment), being confused as to what the hell is happening in the opening kind of puts you right into Roxas’s position

I usually just tell people “Buy All in One and just follow the order of the menu”
