I always do it on Proud for normal runs. Its pretty easy for me, but balances it out more than with Critical, which gets really annoying for me. I still do Critical Playthroughs every now and then though, to see how much better i've gotten at the game. And for fun. I never do playthroughs for Beginner or Normal, just because its too boring and easy for me.

For KH I usually do normal first and after that move up. KH3D was the first one I did Proud on first.

Sometimes i play on Standard Mode on first playthrough,then Critical Mode on the second one...

I've always done every game on Standard mode first. Weirdly enough, those were usually my most difficult playthroughs, because it was my first experience with each respective game. 

I've done every game (except Re: Coded) in proud mode (which is kinda my standard to replay KH1, KH2, Days, and 3D nowadays), and every critical mode possible (which is my standard replay for BBS) except for 2FM and ReCoded. 

 

Even though I haven't finished 2FM on critical, I can say without a doubt that 3D critical is by far the most difficult Kingdom Hearts experience I have done up until this point. It's brutal.

Up to BBS, I always went with standard mode.

When i first started playing KH i would start with beginner then move up from there cuz i loved the game so much that i wanted to play it like 3 times with added difficulty. Then later i just defaulted to playing proud mode first. the only problem of that was if i wanted to replay the game depending on how well i did in the first run either i wouldn't feel a better challenge or i'd feel great about not dying as much as the first time lol

i usually do normal first then skip straight to critical idk why but i feel i had time to get used to the controls and enemy's that it would be more challenging that way lol  

Beginner. . .  I really suck at playing video games.

For Kingdom Hearts games, ever since the first one I usually do it on Proud mode right away.  For every other game with difficulty settings I normally play it on the normal difficulty and then go on the hardest one right away, unless there is an even harder mode and the only way to unlock it is by playing it on hard mode first then I will play it on hard mode

Most difficult.

I started on Standard with KH 1...Played Standard on KH 2 then beat it on proud, beat 358/2 Days on standard because Proud is fcking impossible, Re: Coded with all of the difficulties besides easy throughout the game, BBS I beat on Proud, and DDD I beat on Proud. Gonna start KH 3 on Proud as well. After KH 2 I kinda stuck with Proud.

Proud Mode usually. Sometimes Critical.

I always play on Critical Mode first.

lol

I always start on beginner until I chose to do standard with KH3D.

proud or standard depends on if it was 358 or not
