honestly, I'm thinking about doing a challenge run of the whole series once my spring semester is over

Definitely want do a KH2 Lv 1 Critical run again. As soon as I can get the PS4 version anyway. Load times on PS3 are pretttttttttty bad.

Does anyone know if or when there will be a steam release for 1.5, 2.5, and 3?

Nothing's been confirmed as of yet

I’m going to explode

Regarding play order, the way I've seen the games is that each "spin-off" is meant to supplement the "main" games. Want to know more about roxas? You play days. Want to know about Mickey's secret letter? Go play re:coded.

u want to know more abt kh3? go play 3 mobile games and bbs

lmao

Although kh3 includes plot details from each game, it isn't a necessity to know everything that's going on

Yeah the one exception is that UX is very topical

And BBS if you care about TVA

I think for KH3, you can get away with just back cover and be fine enough but UX is gonna be vital to the next arc

Just play them in release order lmao

And check out the Homie Damo's UC videos for teferen

*reference

Release order is certainly the way to go, I am just a bit tired about people who argue that absolutely eveey game is essential when in reality they're usually small nods and one-off references

/rant

Yeah not every game is necessary but I still think it's fun to play them all or at least experience them all

The only game that I honestly believe you can argue isn't essential is Re:Coded. Without playing every other game, there will be at least one part of KH3 where you have absolutely no clue what's happening

And I guess KHuX/Dark Road

If you wanna count those

I'm guilty of not liking CoM, so I never watched the story and think it can be discarded

However it is perfectly acceptable if you think it adds to the lore

Heck, not playing CoM makes KH2 itself confusing

At least Sora's debut

The problem with skipping CoM is that it's the first point in which Roxas is teased

It actually was confusing when I first played! I quickly got over it once I entered radiant garden though

And if you wanna go there, why Organization XIII is Organization VII

I never questioned that as a kid. Very strange to think about that now

I also didn't question why I only had a three hit combo at Demyx 2 as a kid when the obvious answer was that I never equipped a single attack ability

So many obvious questions that go over your head as a kid lol

since i played days first, i was like "oop guess they all died offscreen"

LMAO

But the only one that isn't is Re Coded every other game introduces important elements or characters

marluxia doesnt make sense without com
