im currently playing through KH1 on Ps2, first KH i've played and i'm really liking it. should i play games in release order and does it not really matter? i'd like to play birth by sleep next, but i dont know if i should skip it since it's the last one released and may have spoilers. should i play the series in order or does it not matter? thanks.
For story wise, like canon, KH1 > KH2 > BBS. But BBS is a prequel to KH1 so you could also go BBS > KH1 > KH2. Though the secret ending in BBS might give away some big spoilers.
As for 358/2 Days and Re: Coded. They're not important to the story, just fanservice. They don't really add any "crucial" things to the story where if you don't play them, you'll be lost. So don't worry about that. Though people say Chain of Memories is crucial to play, I disagree.
