Then why is their even a choice in the first place? If the order is really that important for the story than you should just automatically start as Terra. I really don't feel like restarting the game at this point so I'll just finish up Aqua. I don't really care about Terra being slow compared to the others, and I'll just deal with the spoilers from Aqua's story about them.

So, I just started Birth By Sleep and just randomly picked to play as Aqua first purely by just flipping a coin basically. I just beat Cinderella world, but just read somewhere that apparently Aqua is the worst person to start out with for story based reasons. I don't care too much about if the gameplay is worse/better for whatever character, or if it's harder or something, but just purely for story reasons, will it really affect me too badly to play her story first? I'm assuming it shouldn't really since you're given a choice in the first place with who to start out with.

I've beaten 4 of them so far on standard. I beat Zexion at level 20 after finishing Disney Castle I beat Larxene at level 29 after finishing Tron world I beat Lexaeus at level 32 right before starting the 2nd world trips I beat Marluxia at level 37 after finishing Olympus second visit I'm currently at level 39 and stuck at Vexen (one of the worst designed boss battles I've ever seen in my life)
