I always thought the PSP KH looked better off than the DS one, but I guess the PSP one took a backseat for the DS one to come out.

Lol I came in here looking for some discussion, was this supposed to be a KH fan trap?

I'm 12 and what is this
awp
oh hi year old bump well this actually got released now

it's a fun game if you like Kingdom Hearts and stuff

Difficulty curve is pretty volatile though and goes from not-challenging-at-all to die-in-one-hit, usually without warning. Combat System's better than the rest of them, which I guess is the point. The only drawback is that it's on a handheld system and I can't play handhelds for long periods of time.

I'm actually planning on playing the Kingdom Hearts series starting with 1 and 2 and then going into Birth by Sleep since I own a PS2 now. But only after I finish Okami which I'm not sure how long will take given I'm constantly distracted by the presence of iidx, DDR, and school.
Is this a good order to play them, awp?

Chain of Memories takes place between 1 and 2. Unless you want to skip that then go ahead.

Release order is KH1, Chain of Memories, 2, 358/2 Days, Birth By Sleep

Chronology order is Birth By Sleep, KH1, [358/2 Days, Chain of Memories,] KH2.

Note that Chain of Memories actually takes place about 1/5 of the way into 358/2 Days. Technically 358/2 Days starts before CoM but ends after it.

Ideally I think it should be played in release order, but if you're actually interested in the whole 'universe' you'll end up replaying the older games anyway because there's some stuff in the older games that you'll probably miss until you play the later ones.

@Pokebis if you meant those other games I have never played Okami or IIDX, and DDR isn't much of a "play from start to finish" kind of game. If you meant skip CoM and 358/2 Days, you can get away with skipping 358/2 Days and still understand everything that's going on, but the first few hours of KH2 probably won't make any sense if you don't play Chain of Memories.

Birth by Sleep is actually pretty good, I don't hate it at all except Ventus is a bitch (characterwise, not gameplay wise jesus so good).

Aqua is the best KH character period.

PSP's powerful enough to handle something like this but yes, it's uncomfortable. If it could connect to the PS3 so you could play it on a bigger screen that'd be much more comfortable

Finally got around to finishing this the other day. This game pretty much renewed my faith in Kingdom Hearts as a whole. Aqua needs an entire game all to herself, though.

I'm getting one-shot in Combat Level 9 areas how do I not die in a single hit

This game's unreasonably difficult I was not prepared for that

oh apparently if you fuck so much shit up that nothing has a chance to even bat an eye at you then you don't need to worry about getting OHKO'd

Evidently, I wasn't supposed to play as Ventus off the bat. Oops.

I am suffering a similar fate. Although I'm not too good at games right off the bat, so I'm regretting choosing Proud Mode from the outset.

Yeah, you should have picked critical.
Azure_Kite
Oh you. I'm not that confident.

My Friend has that game and started on proud mode and beat it. Then, I built a house out of crap bricksLOL
awp
I started out on Critical because every other game, apart from KH2FM+Crit, was piss-easy. With the wrong set-up KH1 had imbalanced difficulty until level 30, but overall still pretty easy.

For once I was proven wrong; this game kicked my ass several times in the first run, and so far a handful of times in the second.

fixed.

So I've finished all three character's and the final episode. Now I just have to find the rest of the stickers, treasure and finish command tree orz

Why did nobody mention Aqua's terrible english voice? All the others are so much better...
Whatever, BbS is a great game. Nice graphics, very good story and you really have the KH feeling.
Download it Buy it now!

It's not that bad; after a couple of hours it grew on me.

In any case it's not as bad as "THE NAME'S VENTUS, BUT YOU CAN CALL ME VEN" x10000
Azure_Kite
Too true.

I'm missing Report 5 with Terra and I've found every chest ;___; I've done everything on my own thus far but I'm pretty much out of ideas with respect to finding this last report file and might have to Internet it

how shameful
Azure_Kite
Try the mirage arena; one of the battles unlocks Report 5 when you finish it.

KH:coded is also a really important game. it explains what the letter sora receives in the end of
kh2 and Then comes kh3.

and im not aware of any other kh mobile games other then coded

I have lately played alot BbS.

Got kinda stuck at Vanitas' Lingening Spirit at the moment.

Also getting Arena Level 30 is such a pain in the ass.
Stupid racing shit.

I know of at least one. It was pretty bad. I don't know if it was ever released in English. Had the same old sexy cutscenes though.
awp
Okay finally got to the actual end of the game. Stupid credit roll and its stupid spoilers
Bestelle
Ending boss fight was alright. First part gave me some trouble for some reason, second part I just destroyed with Ghost... whatever it's called. Couldn't even hit me.
awp
Ghost Drive? lol

Critical Impact is the only non-Ven stance I like because it's OP

Bladecharge is okay but it doesn't pack the same punch
Azure_Kite
Did anyone else find Terra's final battle the biggest bitch?

Unfortunately no.

I found the Vanitas fights to be the biggest bitch since he was pretty loaded with OHKOs

And thats why i dislike Kingdom Hearts
Capensis
I got the game in October and as someone who is...slightly in the hatred side (I hated the way they "altered" the Final Fantasy series characters), I did find the game enjoyable. Gameplay smooth, story is good (though the only way of it making sense was to play the characters in a certain way) and I love the remix of "Simple and Clean" (Hikaru). The downside, strange controls and
Ven looks too much like Roxas, which put me off...I'm glad I paid £12.45 for it!
