Posted June 4, 201510 yr Which Kingdom Hearts game has your favorite recap opening? I'm pleading the 5th on this one, but I'd love to hear what you guys think. Edited June 4, 201510 yr by CrownedCyborgHDMaster
June 4, 201510 yr I'm going to go with the cliched option and say DDD. It's just so...cinematic. It has a feeling of coming back to characters you know and love all over again. The book motif just made it even better. And the score is beautiful, even if it's reused. None of the other recaps come close.
June 4, 201510 yr All of them i can't choose between them. Edited June 4, 201510 yr by MarieltheKeybasHGirl

The book motif just made it even better. And the score is beautiful, even if it's reused. None of the other recaps come close. Same. The book style made pretty nice use of the second screen, too, which too many 3DS games don't. I might've even said Days if that were an option, I really liked the showing of all the Org. members (plus Sanctuary is never used enough).
June 4, 201510 yr KH3D. Mainly due to the song choice, the cinematic itself and Mickey Mouse doing his Fantasia bit on the bottom screen.KH2 comes in at a very close second though as that is also a fantastic cinematic.
June 5, 201510 yr Same. The book style made pretty nice use of the second screen, too, which too many 3DS games don't. I might've even said Days if that were an option, I really liked the showing of all the Org. members (plus Sanctuary is never used enough). Days' opening was good too, if slightly sadder. Sanctuary has a very odd sorrowful feel to it in that game, even in the opening.
June 5, 201510 yr Days' opening was good too, if slightly sadder. Sanctuary has a very odd sorrowful feel to it in that game, even in the opening. Yeah, but that's kinda why I like it (I like to feel sad sometimes). Plus it fits; anyone who's played KH2 and is going in to Days for the first time knows that things are not going to end well for Roxas, so there's this feeling of predetermined tragedy that Sanctuary helps punctuate.
June 5, 201510 yr It was insanely hard choosing between KH2 and KH3D, but in the end I have to go with 3D because it shows more characters (some of which we had never seen in high-res before) and the music is better than Passion in terms of how it encompasses the game series as a whole as opposed to how Passion only concerns KH2.
June 5, 201510 yr Dream Drop Distance of course. The opening was excellent because of the song they choose instead of playing the same musics like Simple and Clean or Sanctuary. I love watching Sora, Donald, and Goofy coming out the pages of the book and watching the recap of Kingdom Heart, Chain of Memories, 358/2 Days, and Kingdom Hearts 2 and watching a glimpse of Kingdom Hearts 3 with Sora, Riku, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Terra, Aqua, Ventus, and Roxas confronting Master Xehanort for a final battle in the Keyblade Graveyard. That was the best opening yet in the Kingdom Hearts series.
June 5, 201510 yr Author Yeah, but that's kinda why I like it (I like to feel sad sometimes). Plus it fits; anyone who's played KH2 and is going in to Days for the first time knows that things are not going to end well for Roxas, so there's this feeling of predetermined tragedy that Sanctuary helps punctuate. I actually played Days before even watching LP of KHII and I found the ending bittersweet. The reason it's not on this list is because it wasn't a recap of past events.
June 5, 201510 yr I have to say that while I love all the recap openings so far, Dream Drop Distance takes the cake ever so sweetly! It masterfully recaps events in the series via the swelling musical piece "Passion" and it just gives us the overwhelming sense of hype of Kingdom Hearts III finally coming to us! So yeah, 3D had the best recap in my opinion. Now, let's just wait until Kingdom Hearts III comes along...now that opening will be something to see, of that much I'm sure!
June 5, 201510 yr It's hard to choose, but I would pick KH2's opening as my favorite. It was tough to decide between this one and DDD's. Edited June 5, 201510 yr by JustinisMii
June 5, 201510 yr Re:Codded of course actually KH2. KH3D is a close second but I like the art style of KH2's more plus Goddess Utada singing is
June 5, 201510 yr I think DDD did it perfectly, it really utilized the dual screen and summarized the important events of the series pretty well
June 5, 201510 yr II has always been my favorite, but DDD has so much polish to it it's hard not to love, especially since it's some five games extra to tell.
June 5, 201510 yr Well for me it's Kingdom Hearts 2 But I also like Re:coded's opening, because i loved how they showed everything that happen how Sora remembered it^^
June 5, 201510 yr Dream Drop Distance! I could listen to the score all day! Legit watching the video gave me chills.
June 5, 201510 yr Hard to choose between II and 3D, but, If I have to choose one, Dream Drop Distance is the best.
