Yeah the way I approach each article would be different depending on which I do first. Doing kh2 first adds mystery in story telling. Doing days makes it all cohesive and linear. There was a lot of mystery left behind after re:com 🤔

I think I'll do days. That way some things in re:com can be cleared up so I don't have to spend so much time explaining when I get to kh2

probably a good idea since CoM and Days also overlap a bit

even everglow made everything feel natural with his timeline

still waiting for timeline final mix btw

maybe he is waiting for dark road. idk
isnt that story done already?

well, he also had to wait for some ux in the current timeline
idk if it was episode 10 or 11 but it was like postponed

and i think he made kh3 with default weapons when it was released so in theory that is already good to put in the timeline

Doing Days first removes all of the mystery of KH2’s prologue and most of the game as a whole, while Days relies on you knowing the tragedy that is coming. How is this debate even being had?

Knowing what happens isn’t a good reason to experience something out of order, it’s like saying you should read the list of every character that dies in the final Harry Potter book before you read Philosopher’s Stone

Yes

I was primarily replying to the question of playing them as a newcomer generally and I haven't been keeping up with said article series, but I'm under the slight assumption it's intended to be read by newcomers to the series as well. If it isn't, go wild, though my opinion on how anyone should write something isn't worth listening to in the first place. I think you could also tackle KH2 first and summarise it in a manner that compliments the mystery aspect. If you wrote it after Days, I think the prologue would become less interesting to write up, because the clues and details of Roxas' life glitching around him have a more obvious answer. But that's all down to them

Everglow's timeline is for the diehard fans

Ya think casual players are binging UX?

If the story were still worth payin attention to, that is

let's not act like that's a hot take

Fans who only care about when the story was good are the real fans

Y'all are the fakers

3D's story is pretty good, but makes some iffy decisions

UX firetrucked a lot up

3 firetrucked the rest

snake and moon maid took this conversation in directions it didn't need to lmao

the whole point of it was for Maya's question on an article
not what order you should play in :smh:

Strong disagree, there is a benefit to having a timeline like how Everglow did

yeah you should play in release order if you're a newcomer but afterwards the timeline helps piece it all together

hey I can dust off this one! Rule 12 bud

you can't just go saying that without posting up some extra words there partner

Rule 12 should be adjusted to read, “Elaboration is not needed if you’ve already clarified your opinion on the subject matter 76 trillion times”

nah, denied

it exists because people couldn't handle/deal with that

Well quite clearly they aren’t quite based enough

regardless of how you see them, dems do be the rules

so again, can't have ya going around saying stuff like this haphazardly

You want me to type up a video game essay at 1 am

did i ask for an essay?

> some

Yes you did, it says right there

As the cultured know, ‘some’ is Swahili for ‘an excessive amount equivalent to a college essay’

yeah no, i just need some

not that complicated mate

Yep, okay i see how you wanna play it

just keep an eye on what the actual topic is

tis all good

^ like actually tho haha

Just to clear it up for those wondering, the articles I write focus on analysing and summarizing the events of each game, just to make the story clearer. They're meant for both fans and new comers.

The ultimate goal of this article series is to clarify the story, so covering days before kh2 is more ideal for that purpose

he found the secret to defeat him

that ending tho

only needs more practice to block/dodge that attack

sometimes i feel half of the fandom is actually like that
so a pretty big part of spain

at some point feels like my fight style with terra

sí

13th is spanish as well but his videos are in english to be more universal

Well yeah, it's really not easy

But imo having the timeline there can help make it so you don't have to

Playing the games in release order helps you build up the big story and experience in a pretty unique way

Having the timeline there is like having a recipe book
You don't have to memorize everything there, you know what it is, but the finer details escape you

If that makes any sense haha

even fixes some retcons like donald forgetting where yen sid lives in kh2

I like my head canon that Namine forgot to put that part back in while he was sleeping

its pretty obvious she restored everything except what happened in recom
and its not really confirmed but i think goofy forgot as well. or else he would have answered when sora asked who lives in the tower

oh yeah like in actuality she did just that

but the silly version is that she missed a few parts
