OMG!!!!!!

Ok im inbetween, i like KH1, then KH2, CoM and 358/2 days SUCKED so much i never wanted to touch KH again, then with the new patch BBS rekindled my hopes for the series. Fun game.....anyway ima have to say yes, because of KH1 and BBS

 

[Aeladya]

Of course! It's a unique series.

 

[Domination]

I can't really say much, but I felt the KH on DS was terrible.

The rest of the series on PS2 looks too boring for me to pick up too.

So I would say "no"

Not really. Boring character and mediocre storyline. Epic Mickey looks like a MUCH better usage of Disney properties (while it only covers Mickey Mouse characters it still looks better). The hacking and slashing is alright but it's tedious and generic.

This.

Monkat officially grants this 'This.' his seal of approval.

Yeah, I mean...I have never really been a fan of action RPGs to begin with, I like to kinda relax and get told an epic story with turn-based battles. They're OK games, and I'm definitely gonna play re:coded if it gets localized, but its never gonna be on any of my best games lists

 

[Coto]

Nop. Just because there´s nothing new in there, or at least something that could get my attention.

It´s a boring and like someone else said, overrated story.

However and a bit off topic, i love twewy´s storyline MUCH more than this one.

 

[Infinite Zero]

i dont enjoy it. but i've played on a ps2

 

[Zerousen]

It's OK, I guess. I like the storyline, but thhe gameplay gets tiring, if you have played alot like me.

 

[Lubbo]

its orgasmic game, clocked 1 and 2 and Chain of Memories, slowly getting there on 358/2 Days.
I find 358/2 Days very repetitive so i have been taking my time. I love the kingdom hearts series but i do find the story and endings a bit confusing

 

[Okami Wolfen]

I actually kinda like the repetition, strangely enough. I've only beaten 358/2, and I'm halfway done with KH1.

 

[cotyboy]

Yes, I love the Kingdom Hearts series, especially the storyline other people might get confused but not me I love stories full of mystery and twist. the way they blend characters, heartless etc into the disney stories is quite amusing, gameplay might be repetitive but at least its more interactive than most rpgs

I rather enjoy Kingdom Hearts. Here's my opinion for those that don't like it, or think the game is spread out across too many consoles...

It's an action RPG. So no, it's not turn based, and yes, you can spam the action/attack key pretty much the entire time and still beat the game on normal difficulty. But then again, I did the same thing in God of War. Now take a heavier difficulty level, and you're going to need to use some strategy. And probably figure out how to use magic. It's not turn based.

It has 3 different franchises rolled into one. Yes, the entire game is fan service. C'mon Final Fantasy characters and Disney characters? I said three franchises. Sora, Roxas, and Org 13 are now big enough to be a franchise on their own. Does this get muddled?

Kingdom Hearts 1 was literally the saga of Sora finding his friend Riku and his adventure along the way... Without spoiling it, he finds him but the journey isn't over, hence Kingdom Hearts 2. So you can pretty much get the entire feel for the series with those two games. Just own a PS2. You want to fill in the blanks? Because some events definitely occurred between 1 and 2 (which set up 2)...

Rent ReChain of Memories, the PS2 remake of the GBA game. It uses the same engine as the PS2 games, but it still retains the card mechanic, with an action key... It's not for everyone, but hey, it'll let you know about the rest of the story.

358/2 Days is a side-story about Organization 13 (a big plot point in KH2) and one of the main characters Roxas. It was clear it was retconned into the series, so it's not a NEED to have game. It's timeline is basically the year before KH2's events.

ReCoded is a side-story about the timeframe directly after the events of KH2. Again, it's not a need to have, just like the other 2 aforementioned games.

Birth By Sleep is the prequel to Kingdom Hearts, and there are a lot of hints dropped that it will set up some of the events of KH3 (I've avoided reading any plot summaries for the Japanese version), it too will probably be avoidable.

So yeah, to play the core series, just play KH1 then KH2. If you are feeling extra adventurous, you can strike out for Re:Chain of Memories in between the two. And if you really like the gameplay, storyline, and characters, you can get the NDS games to fill in the gaps.

for those TL;DR people:
You only need to play the 3 Playstation 2 games: Kingdom Hearts -> Kingdom Hearts - Re:Chain of Memories -> Kingdom Hearts 2

 

[Daizu]

I really enjoy the games, one of my favorite game series. But the fanbase is just... no.

 

[Sephi]

Yep. I'm a fanboy.

 

[Infinite Zero]

Nope I tried on GBA and hated it

 

[Xale]

I absolutely love the series, at first when i heard about it, i didnt care for it at all, i thought it was stupid, but during the summer of 7-8th grade, my friend bought it for me and forced me to play it, i fell in love with it, nowadays im basicly obsessed with it, i cant wait until BBS comes in september although i already beat it, and im looking foward to REcoded and Kingdom hearts 3d

 

[elixirdream]

had never play a kingdom hearts
doubt it will change anytime soon

 

[Yoshimashin]

The first one was pretty kick ass but the second one tried to make a serious story and I couldn't take it seriously. It lost a lot of its charm.
