Discussion Are they any good?

Upvotes

This is my first post on Reddit so please correct me if I did something wrong. I recently bought the story so far collection of kingdom hearts because the trailer of 4 got me excited, i beat 1, enjoyed it, and then watched the cutscenes of COM because the gameplay didn’t seem fun. Im aware that KH2 is regarded highly in the series, what I was wondering was if past kh2 the games get worse and if besides the mainline games is the gameplay always different? For example do they all have gameplay like KH1 or is it more similar to COM. Sorry if I did something wrong I was just curious.

I bet fans who played KH2 back in 2006 were wondering where it was from because the Kingdom Hearts Final Mix games were not released in America until 2013 and 2014.

Discussion Kingdom Hearts Games (Mainline) Ranked

Upvotes

Here's my quick, rapid fire ranking of all the Kingdom Hearts games. Tell me what you think, everyone! Of course, just please be respectful, and also keep in mind that I value gameplay over story pretty substantially.

(Not that that means I don't take story into account at all.) Also, though I don't specify to keep things simple, I am talking about the remakes/rereleases for each of these games. So Final Mix for 1 and 2. Re-CoM for Chain of Memories, ect.

  1. Kingdom Hearts 2: The overall best. This is a pretty popular opinion, so I don't feel the need to defend it too much. It's the overall best in terms of gameplay, only in contention with Coded, and it has the second best story as well. It follows off of Days and Chain of Memories beautifully, (or leads into Days really well, if you're playing the series for the first time, and trying not to spoil anything) plus has some of the best writing. It also, in my opinion, has the second best inclusion of the Disney worlds. The Disney worlds INCLUDED are also based as hell, minus Atlantica of course. We got a fucking Lion King world bro, WHO DOESN'T LIKE LION KING? Okay maybe that one's biased, but that doesn't take away from the variety of awesome locales we get in this game, in addition to its majorly improved combat and summons. It also has droves of charm, which you'll come to find I value a lot in games. I love games with a distinct "vibe" to them, which will influence a lot of my later decisions. Everything from its opening, to its character interactions all reek of a certain sauce few other games in the series manage, that make it truly feel special.
  2. Kingdom Hearts 1: Great gameplay, that is extremely replayable. While it doesn't have the BEST story in the series, it's still the third best, and the plot is very simple, and clean compared to other games, making it extremely easy to come back to. It's by far the best "standalone" experience of the series. As in, if you had to play one game, just one game in this series, this is the one I think most would agree should be the defacto answer. It's a taste of Kingdom Hearts almost everyone can get behind, even if it's less refined and overall splendid as 2, and does show its age at certain (minor) points. The Disney worlds are also at their best here. Not only is the selection itself very solid, (I find that this game, just like 2, features the classic hand drawn era of Disney a lot more then later games in the series, which I find is sorely missing from those later games) but it also incorporates them into the story very seamlessly. It has a LOT of charm too. By far the best "vibes" of the series, which as I said before, I value a lot. There's so many LITTLE things in this game, you know? To this day, so many are learning NEW things about this game, just because of all the little things the devs packed into it, through love and devotion to what it was striving for. Really the only thing holding it back is just that again, its overall story, and gameplay are just slightly less refined then they are in 2.
  3. Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days: I'm aware that this is our first hot take, so let me explain. I actually think Days' gameplay isn't THAT bad. It's certainly its weak point compared to the story yes, but I don't think that it's so bad that Days can go any lower then my bronze medal. Sure, I will admit, that if you play Days the way you'd play most other KH games, or try to do it in one or two sittings as part of a grander marathon, you'll DEFINITELY dislike it. You'll find it woefully repetitive, and most who play Days say the story was the only thing that kept them going for that reason, if even that. However, I think that more people should treat Days something like Animal Crossing. Just like with that game, if you instead treat it like a "play in bite sized chunks, and do a few missions for the day" game, instead of something that needs to be grinded, or done all in one sitting, I actually then think that the mission structure makes it a very fun "time killer" game, instead of repetitive, like most people say. Even cozy. And I LOVE cozy games like that. It also has the BEST story in the series, bar none, and some of the best songs as well. It massively improves Chain of Memories just by its nature of existing, massively expands Roxas' character, and introduces my personal favorite character, Xion. The DS also adds A LOT to its charm value, using the dual screens in very creative ways for the story. I wish more DS games did that. The two screens have MASSIVE potential for immersive lore significance. Days is one of the few games that understands that.
  4. Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep: Very unique compared to other games in the series. And it has okay gameplay alongside a quite good story to boot. I love the characters it introduces, even if the Days trio I tend to appreciate a lot more. I tend to go back and forth between this game, and Coded a lot. Because I would argue Coded is more "fun" to actually just sit down and play, and has a bit of DS charm to it as well, but this game is mostly fun, with an also mostly good story, and so one could make the argument it's OVERALL better then Coded. (Most would in fact.) Sure, I value gameplay above all, so you'd think I prefer Coded, but I think the sum of this game's parts makes it slightly more enjoyable. It's still a really close competition though, for me. I do agree however that this game really took a hit in the combat department compared to 2, and that's a problem I feel we have been having in the series ever since. It's definitely not an "unfun" game, but it can get frustrating at points, which is something that I can't say compared to the games before it. (Well, minus the bosses in Days, lol.) Other then that though, its contribution to the larger narrative is huge, and mostly satisfying, and it also pairs really well with Days. (I know I'm using what should be BbS's section here to glaze Days some more, but I love how Days sort of acts like the "glue" holding all these games together. Everything just connects back, or to it really nicely.) The only thing I think the game truly lacks in completely is some charm of its own compared to other games in the series despite its uniqueness. But that's not enough to knock it down to many points for me, since again, I think the sum of its parts is better.
  5. Kingdom Hearts: Coded: Alright, this one is another hot take, so I'll explain myself. Yes, I am painfully aware that the story is forgettable as hell. And largely unimportant as well. This is one of the few games where it feels like its major plot beats could have just as easily been in one of the other games, and executed much better in those games, then they are in Coded. I agree with all of that fully, yes. And it IS something that is quite hard to look past. But... one simply can't ignore it's one of the most fun games to actually "play" in the series. Rivalling 2 in terms of gameplay. And not to be all "posh" but I think it's CRAZY that most people admit that, while also saying it's one of the worst in the series DESPITE that. It's a game first, and foremost isn't it? So we can agree, that gameplay being so high for Coded is a VERY strong attribute for it to have, right? For that reason, I can forgive its forgettable story, even if it is the main thing holding the game back. It's just damn fun, and the mechanics are ones that I really wish would come back in later games. If we could have the systems this game introduced, with a better story behind it, and the inclusion of Disney worlds executed as they were in 1, then I honestly think we could be in for my dream Kingdom Hearts game. And also, there's a certain undeniable charm to the game as well, with it being on the DS. And I like how it uses the two screens, even if I think it was done better in Days overall. The DS is just a cool console overall, and I think KH lends itself better to it then most people do.
  6. Kingdom Hearts 3: The gameplay is okay, but the story, is sort of mixed for me, albeit with cool moments to it. It's the first game on the list that I think has issues both gameplay wise, AND story wise. It has some of the same gameplay issues as Birth by Sleep (albeit with some minor improvements) but with a way less tight knit story to make up for it. I wouldn't say there's a lot of "plot holes" per say... I just think that the ideas should have been more fleshed out, and that certain things were rushed. It's a story that's "good in concept, but not execution" I think is the best way to put it. For example, as a huge Days fan, I simply cannot forgive how it undermines Xion's sacrifice... and rushes her return. But then, on the other hand, I also love that we get to see Roxas, Xion, and company enjoy ice cream again, on the clocktower. I think that the Disney worlds are included at their worst here, mostly being recaps of the Disney movies. And yet I still find them, and Sora's interaction with them charming. It also lacks truly classic Disney rep (that isn't returning) compared to the other games, and mostly uses more modern worlds. But then again, we get see Donald use Zettaflare. That's the problem with 3 in my opinion. I love some of the ideas. And I love the fan service. But it's executed in such a way that I find myself tilting my head. It's poor storytelling decisions, mixed with some of the coolest character moments in the series, hence why I feel so conflicted on it. I like it, but also am baffled by it.
  7. Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance I'm mixed on both its gameplay and mechanics, as well as its story. I like that it tried to innovate, but just don't see much value in it besides that. I don't hate it by any means, and it has some charm to it for sure. But while I DO value a game's "vibes" a lot as I said, I can't really look past the fact it's just the most "there" Kingdom Hearts game. And is pretty forgettable all things considered. I still don't understand why the World Ends with You characters are included, despite that game having no relation to KH's story at all, apparently. Any attempts to explain it just make me scratch my head. Like, it's very clearly implied in the game itself that there's a connection, which would seem to imply the universes are linked, or at least a version of them are, just like with the Disney worlds, and Final Fantasy characters. But it goes absolutely nowhere, and Nomura confirmed that there's no connection whatsoever. Probably even less of a connection then there is with the Disney or Final Fantasy stuff, which already pulls from "alternative" versions of those worlds. It DID introduce me to that game though, so I thank it for that. Really, DDD is just "the game you play to understand 3" and that's it. Again, I don't hate it beyond finding it average, and while I don't click with the story, it IS important to later games in the series, it's just that compared to all the others, there's really NO replayability basically at all. I think the Dream Eaters were a cool concept though, and I wouldn't mind them maybe finding an excuse to try it again.
  8. Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories: I don't like its mechanics too much. Unfortunately I'm just not a fan of card based RPGs. Maybe it's something that will grow on me with time, but for now I just just cannot look past the fact that it is by far the least fun KH game gameplay wise in the series. I think that's more of a preference thing though, as people who say that they DO like card games tend to put this one a lot higher. And I will admit that there's a lot of strategy, and thought that goes into it, which I CAN appreciate. I WANT to love Chain of Memories so much, but at this current point in my life, I just can't find myself doing so. I also find its story lackluster (for the most part) since you're mostly just going through KH1 stuff again. I REALLY hate how tied to KH1 this game is. I really wish it tried to do its own stuff more often, as that alone could at least bump it above Dream Drop Distance for me, but alas, you're visiting the same worlds, seeing a lot of the same stuff, and doing it with a way worse combat system, which just makes it "the chore between 1 and 2" for me. There are 3 things that I like about it though. For one, it's another game that ties together with Days REALLY well. And I think Days actually retroactively makes this game's story hit much harder then it would otherwise. I also love Mickey's inclusion in this game, almost as much as I do in 2. Mickey's one of my favorite characters ever, so I just love that he's prominently featured here. And also, yeah Namine rocks. Also, I think I might actually like this game a lot better if I played the GBA version of it. That version looks a lot more unique, and interesting. And also SKYROCKETS in the vibes department that I love so much thanks to the sprite work, and GBA style music. Alas, I haven't played that version yet. If I do though, expect maybe a jump in its position.

KH2 Hot take: KH2 isn’t the best in the series. I wouldn’t even consider it the 2nd best.

Upvotes

When I played KH2 after playing KH1, I was intrigued. Who is this kid Roxas? What’s his connection to Sora? What are these nobodies? The “mystery” element that I loved in KH1 was in full effect. My boy Squall is back. It looks like we’re off to a bigger adventure.

But then I reached the Disney worlds… the worst Disney worlds I’ve played in this series, bar none. This is factoring in KH1, BBS, KH3. And they’re so LONG

And the gameplay, where tf is the dodge roll? Why am I constantly having to press triangle? Phil, SHUT THE F UP! I was annoyed…

But that ending is beautiful man. Utada is so beautiful. And Xemnas is the best villian in KH imo

But unfortunately, this did not save the game for me. It is very overrated to me. The gameplay, level design, Disney worlds. I’m good off this game

KH1, KH3, 2.8, BBS better like Youngboy

While I assume most of us are replaying the series to prep for KH4. I wanted to know what are some things you missunderstood/ did/ thought in the series that you are embarrassed to admit?

For me, I thought the only way to level up commands in BBS was through the command board and I sunk HOURS into the Cinderella game board to level up. Didn't realise until my thunder magically leveled up in Disney Town mid fight, that this was not the case 🥲😂

Also, as a kid in KH1 I thought traverse town was end game. When I got to the gummi ship and found more worlds I thought I had broken the game and found a secret 😅

So... Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories... it is definitely... A game. Is it good? NO! Last post, i saw some comments saying I should skip COM and play 2. I should have listened. Because I'm not gonna lie, I gave up on this game. I've never felt so much hatred towards a game in so long.

The pros:

No Gummi ship. Yeah, thankfully there was no Gummi ship. I could instantly get to those levels without having a boring ass mini game.

The soundtrack. Of course it was. Yoko Shimomura can make magic even in the crappiest of games. I heard she broke her back from carrying this game.

Riku is actually pretty decent this time around. Yeah, his arc may be very simple, but i liked it for what it was. His self acceptance was undoubtedly the strongest point of the story. I would argue it's the only good thing in it. Funny because I didn't like him in KH1

I like Naminé. Her manipulating Sora's memories, and make him think that she was always there was pretty interesting. Her redemption was nice.

Axel's design is cool.

And the ending to the game was pretty nice. It builds up the sequel really well.

Now the bad...

I appreciate that the game tried to make the levels a bit bigger, but quantity doesn't mean quality. Those rooms were so empty, and small that it felt less engaging, and honestly, kinda lifeless.

The fights get really repetitive. Once you fight against one enemy, you've fought them all. The combat was just not fun. Either because of its RNG, which I will get into... the gameplay is Monotonous. Plain and simple.

The story legit felt like filler. I did not feel like nothing was that important. Pluto really couldn't wait or rest with us? Yeah, just keep running, it's not like we need you or anything. The Disney stuff felt more like filler than in KH1, which is saying something! Sure, Organization XIII is important, and Riku's character is actually decent this time. But aside from those very small moments... i did not care that much. So much filler, only for less than 20% of the story to actually matter. (I heard the story for this game is really liked, sorry, but I didn't vibe with it.)

The card keys are so annoying. Especially when you don't have a specific number or color, so you must engage in boring fights, and get those cards you need. Ugh, I did not like that at all either.

Some boss fights were atrocious. Especially the one that made me drop the game entirely. LARXENE. That might have been one of the worst boss fights in any game I've played. And it wasn't because she was hard. Far from it. THE STUPID RNG! I was in level 30 or so, and even then, the boss fight did stuff that should be straight up illegal. EVEN WHEN I USED MY JAFAR SO SHE DIDN'T DESTROY ANY OF MY CARDS... SHE STILL DID IT BECAUSE SHE FEKT LIKE IT! OH BUT WHEN I USE A 0 CARD, *SHE* GETS TO IGNORE IT! HOW IS THAT EVEN FAIR?!?!?!

I threw my controller down due to how stressed and angry I got. Even when I was SO CLOSE TO KILLING HER! Suddenly, she feels like doing a comeback like that Street Fighter clip, and I end up dying ANYWAY!

CONGRATULATIONS LARXENE FOR MAKING ME QUIT THIS HORRIBLE GAME!

Now for the things I'm mixed on:

The way Sora and the gang go back to square one was... i guess it was clever? But it also felt kinda sloppy.

I did not know how to feel about Sora's character in this game. There were moments he was kinda unlikable, but other times he was fine.

The boss fights were inconsistent. I like that this time there actually needs to be a strategy involved. Sometimes. Because it's still mostly RNG. Some fights were pretty bad, like the Parasite cage, and Oogey Boogey. But even without those two, I was left feeling empty for the most part.

Chain of memories was a baaaaaaad game. I know it may sound like exaggeration, but it's one of the worst games I've played in some time. Not just RPGs. There was never a moment when I was playing the game where I enjoyed myself. Genuinely hated it.

1/10. Next game is either 358/2 days or II. I'm not entirely sure. But I am taking a biiiiiig break. After 9 and half hours, I gave up on this game. The second game in the series, and it's one of the biggest Ls I've seen a franchise take.

Sorry this was super negative. I really tried to like this game. Maybe too hard. But I did not like this one bit.

Onwards and upwards.

Edit: This is how I decided to spend my free day btw.

Edit 2: Before you ask, yes, I played a tad of The GBA version. Did not like it very much either. Fun fact: technically this was my first KH game. I just didn't know until I played it again lol

Discussion I want to read more about Kingdom Hearts lore after missing out on KHU/KHUX — but from where? Fandom Wiki or Encyclopedia?

3 Upvotes

I want to get more into the Kingdom Hearts lore, especially the stuff from χ / Unchained χ / Union χ, since I completely missed out on the mobile games. I didn’t even know they existed until I bought the DDD + 0.2 bundle.

Should I read the Kingdom Hearts Fandom Wiki or the Kingdom Hearts Wiki (encyclopedia)?

Apparently, both seem to have more detailed information in different areas. For example, I looked up Eraqus and Odin. The Fandom Wiki’s entries seem pretty detailed, but the Encyclopedia’s entries are sometimes much longer.

Odin is a good example. His history is actually covered on the Fandom Wiki, while on the Encyclopedia, his story section literally says, “This section of the article is a stub. You can help by expanding it.”

So, which one should I mainly use if I want to learn the lore? Fandom Wiki or Kingdom Hearts Wiki? And more importantly, which one is generally more accurate/reliable?

I’m mainly looking for something that can help me catch up on the lore I missed from the mobile games, rather than just looking up individual characters.

I appreciate Aqua’s legacy in Kingdom Hearts

5 Upvotes

Now that KH is a nostalgia franchise with fans, I do appreciate that Aqua did get the role that she got for Birth by Sleep and 0.2 as the main character of both for the 2010s, especially all the promotional material they did to show her to people, and Aqua got a really good online fanbase out of it that likes her a lot, even if it is either just design, gameplay, or early story. It is the 2020s and no other female character got to be playable much in the series, so that is something she’ll hold forever with fans/overall gaming since they probably won’t do something like that again (although I wish they can, I want Aqua playable again and still the main character to make up for last time). Kairi was a small stretch and questionable, people still desperate and hoping for her. Xion was only really small too. Even with new characters, they probably won’t overtake Aqua because they’re not going to devote to them to that degree compared to Sora or even the 2 Trios, and Aqua had built up a huge impact with BBS and 0.2 in earlier years for nostalgia while the mobile games or later games won’t get as many fans. Collections help too, they always put her games on it.

I am glad she’ll always have a legacy, though most people will point to Birth by Sleep. My last post, I said my concerns, how last game should’ve better for Aqua and worry if it ruins her or damages her permanently from now on. I worry if treating her that way makes KH team sour on using Aqua as a major character from now on, or ever be allowed to have cool moments, cool triumph wins or be playable again. For a game with her 2 happy endings, I felt it needed to look stronger and be perfect because it makes the legacy bigger and people would’ve pointed to it as a standout like they do with BBS. The Castle stuff was done so bad, borderline hard to defend. I can’t even do it. It made no sense and should’ve been better for her and a cool moment to be fond of, instead of how they used her there. I hear someone have the idea of Aqua joining in Big Hero 6 world to rebuild confidence, and it sounded so much more fun and cool with her to help the story. ReMIND ends with Aqua beating Terranort and Vanitas, and being with Guardians to fight Replicas. Group efforts, but she needed triumphs on her own and she did earn those. There were many spots to put 1, 2, or even 3 of those. Her last playable appearance could be reuniting with Terra, which sounds fine on paper, but I think she deserves a better triumph of her own to be playable in and feel like a legend herself, instead of that being her last one. Not counting Melody since that’s a smaller game and not traditional playable for Aqua. Aqua’s last time playable should not be a Melody game either, doesn’t feel right.

I still got my frustrations over that after years, but one thing I saw today did help.

I saw a Reddit post on Chun-Li someone made, and how they pointed how she loses more than wins, doesn’t win much, and gets her story moments and triumphs taken by Ryu in the Street Fighter series. All the same problems I have for Aqua, each one, they each apply to Chun-Li too. I noticed that after I read it. When you ask people who is the most popular woman in gaming, the answer is usually Chun-Li. When you ask who is the strongest woman in gaming, good majority thinks Chun-Li too. So it did put me into perspective when I saw that. I think both of them do deserve better and bigger triumphs due to their popularity (I know Chun-Li is way more popular than Aqua, she’s a legacy too), but it could just be an overall issue with women in games people are aware of, than damaging the characters themselves. People online already know Nomura doesn’t write women well (I wish Aqua was the exception instead of just the best compared to other female characters if 3 was perfect/didn’t go overboard on her, BBS and 0.2 is what points to for Aqua or use clips and edits from them), and it seems to be in Japan media where this issue happens.

I do hope Aqua does have any future in KH, I do hope she gets used way better, and written stronger to win fights (she won group fights at minimum if they count to you guys) or defeat villains because the character has earned that and people get into Aqua that they would love it as highlights. If the series does nothing with her from here, I will disagree with it heavy against the KH team, but I do appreciate the character’s legacy and what she will always be known that other female characters still won’t be doing in KH games. She was a staple and a big one for the 2010s Kingdom Hearts nostalgia, and with fans who loved that, especially as they might have gave up on the KH series after how bad KH3 went and soured them on the franchise. I wanted it to be better and perfect as it would’ve been undisputed as a good story after 3 instead of feeling insulted or mocked if you’re an Aqua fan for what 3 did, but she did highlight good things about the series overall and that can be more than some other characters outside the obvious top ones.

Discussion Everything that's happening in Quadratum is MoM's fault.

1 Upvotes

After finishing Melody of Memory and watching the KH4 trailers, i came to realize that everything that was shown about Quadratum so far is all MoM's fault.

Quadratum is suppose to be the other side of their reality, and vice versa for Quadratum side aswell, they are somewhat connected to each other but don't influencer each other at all.

That was until MoM showed up and messed everything.

In Quadratum, things like Keyblades, Unions, Dandelions, and even Heartless shouldn't exist, those things belong to the Sora's side of reality. Quadratum's side of reality has their own nature and weapons ect.

These things didn't exist there until MoM showed and through his influence, brought these unknown concepts to their side of reality. He completely messed up their own natural state of world.

The fact that the mysterious star (the girl yazora is trying to save probably.) is in the final world is MoM's fault aswell, mysterious star says someone important to her has completely changed, this probably being yazora.

MoM is completely messing up both sides of realities natural order for his own gain.

Verum Rex would probably be our only chance at seeing Quadratum without all the outside influence MoM brought, seeing Quadratum in it's original state.

Redoing All game in proud/critical before KH4 Part 0 setting my objective

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone

So with all the post of new player documenting their journey of discovering the franchise I thought why couldn't I replay all off those before the 4, so I'm doing that

To preface this I'm doing that on the final mix version of all the game I own so no coded, 358/2 (I'll rewatch the cutscenes nonetheless)

So I'll do all game in the maximum difficulty I can and do all the super bosses and more, this time I want to do everything the game can offer and prove to kid me than Sephiroth in KH1 is doable. So I'll do most of the games, not necessarily 100% every game especially if it involves mini game, I hate those

Also a bit of spoil for BBS but I just discovered there is a secret episode and I never new that so I want to discover it too

So you all, see you in 3 month when I beat KH1 and it's PS2 camera

Discussion Question about the timeline after KHX/KHUX

I finished watching the first part of Damo's video about KHUC, which covers up to the end of the Keyblade Wars. After finishing it, I was planning to play 0.2 tomorrow and start 3 sometime, but I saw people saying to watch everything from Union Cross before playing them, and I'm unsure about the order I should follow.

I was following this guide to play the games, and I wanted to know if this order is good or if I should change something's position.I was following this guide to play the games, and I wanted to know if this order is good or if I should change something's position.
