So, for KH, we would need to pinpoint first the ''shown'' event which is the furthest down in the past, as far as I know that would either be Eraqus and Master Xehanort discussing the Keyblade War or when MX forced Ventus against the neoshadows, or have we an actual ''shown'' event before it? After that we'd need the most recent event, which is most likely the scene with Sora on the papou tree holding Mickey's letter and deciding to go out rescuing the others.

User: Xhemel----As a long time player since I was 4 and got my hands on the original Kingdom Hearts I have been with the series since, we can all agree the story can be confusing, and most importantly the insane ability for Donald to heal. That one over played joke aside if you are new to the series I recommend just starting from the order that the games originally released in. I think it would turn off a lot of new players trying to enter the community if we tell them to start with Union Cross since that's the true origin or even Birth by Sleep. Start with Kingdom Hearts 1, then Chained Memories, then Kingdom Hearts 2, that will make the story flow so much better without jumping from past to present all the time like in the technical "spin offs". The next true installment I would recommend is Birth by Sleep or 365/2 Days, both are worth playing and are both canon to the main story. Re:coded can be skipped in my opinion, the gameplay was lack luster and the story is a bunch of fluff and really unnecessary to the point where I don't even see it as canon. After birth by sleep and 365/2 you can jump right into Dream Drop Distance which are the events right after KH2 and will lead you to KH2.9 aka Birth by Sleep 0.2 and that into KH3.
That is just the order that would be the most fun and would make the most sense to me. Doesn't make sense to try and explain the entire story to a new player (First of all if your confused and haven't attempted to play the games that's on you) or to try the games in a different order as you WILL run into spoilers even if you think you haven't.
This is easier than ever with the collections of all the games coming out for PlayStation 4 which will save you a lot of money and time and they include the final mix versions which in my opinion makes late game in KH1 and 2 amazing. 
(I didn't mention Union X or X or whatever that BS is, because it really doesn't relate to the main story at all until much later and you'll waste hours of your life going thru over 1000 lvls for 2 pieces of plot information :/ ) I recommend watching the movie that comes with 0.2 instead as you don't really need any more info to enjoy to plot
Hope this helps, just found this forum and I was bored so I figured I'd give my input on the order of the games to someone that has never touched the series. :){{unsigned|70.92.4.188}}

I don't know about you guys, but I think that under the Timeline, that there should be a story, or even better: make a story page. The one in [[Kingdom Hearts (series)]] is a bit... un-chronological/doesn't have enough detail. Can I have permission to do this?

== Rebirth ==
{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=08:17, 14 January 2014 (UTC)|default2=Okay, it's been over a year since I first tried to help with this page, and since then, it basically died. So, I venture in a desperate CPR-like fashion to bring it back to life.
I've started a new draft for it in my [[User:KeybladeSpyMaster/Gadget Lab|Gadget Lab]]. Anyone can contribute, especially for Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Re:coded, and 3D: Dream Drop Distance. Basically, I'm just listing major events that affect the plot of the whole saga/series, and highliting game beginnings and endings rather than dividing by game. I think those events serve the timeline well, and if anyone wants more detail, they can go to the individual games and/or worlds' pages. Any additional ideas are welcome.
Hopefully, we can give this article a new birth!}}

I do not mean to start a new conversation on this topic, just posting [http://www.khinsider.com/358-2-days/interviews/kingdom-hearts-358-2-days-ultimania---timeline this] as a future reference/source. {{User:Xion4ever/Sig}} 01:53, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

==The χ Problem==
It appears that the site considers Kingdom Hearts Union χ[Cross] to be a remake of Kingdom Hearts χ[chi]. This however is only partially true. Kingdom Hearts Union χ[Cross]] takes place after Kingdom Hearts χ[chi] has already concluded and is post-Keyblade War. The reason it is a partial remake is because Player relives the events depicted in Kingdom Hearts χ[chi], but there are discrepancies. Quests 501-525 concerning the reckless Keyblade wielder did not take place in Kingdom Hearts χ[chi]. The true new content does not commence until Quest 571 however, and there is no depiction of the finale of Kingdom Hearts χ[chi] through-and-through, simply flashbacks of Player's collapse and the initial battle in the Badlands and the battle against Aced that preceded the initiation of the Keyblade War. This makes the timeline essentially Kingdom Hearts χ[chi] (with Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover taking place both before and concurrently) then Heart and Key followed by Kingdom Hearts Union χ[Cross] and Dark Footsteps/Unchained 0[zero] - as Dark Footsteps has to follow the introduction of Enchanted Dominion in Kingdom Hearts Union χ[Cross] but has yet to be addressed within the storyline. Thereby I don't know if you could really argue the inclusion of Kingdom Hearts Union χ in the timeline, but if anyone objects to my decision, please let me know.

== I have an equation... ==
While I like the idea of keeping a nice and tidy timeline of the series here, as it currently stands, it doesn't really do it justice primarily because you have events that do not run concurrently with the game they're placed in. For example, the meeting with Xehanort and the Master is right at the start of Re Mind, yet takes place which appears to be right after Dark Road. There's also the events of Limitcut, which takes place a whole year after KH3, but can't really be placed anywhere on here. And in-between all the games, we have the "Reconnect" secret endings and parentheses. SO! Rather than just a list of games in canonical chronological order, I strongly suggest we make the timeline a list of '''important events''' in the order they happen. Just very short, quick summaries no more than a sentence or two, with links to the respective games/endings they're from. It's slightly more work than what we currently have, but it's far more robust and generally meaningful. That way, we can even feature the timeline on the front page for newcomers! --[[User:Samoa Joe|Samoa Joe]] ([[User talk:Samoa Joe|talk]]) 05:37, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

::I added a table as experiment to see how it would look. And while it does increase the page length '''a lot''', I find it easier to read than the wall of text above it. Also, images make it look less bland. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 16:43, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
:::Yup! I was actually thinking of ways to make it more ''visual'', and a table is one way to do it! You're brilliant lol! --[[User:Samoa Joe|Samoa Joe]] ([[User talk:Samoa Joe|talk]]) 18:16, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
==Dark Road's Placement in the Timeline?==
Why is Kingdom Hearts Union χ Dark Road considered the indeterminate years? Xehanort's meeting with the Master of Masters takes place 75 years before Kingdom Hearts III (so 74 BKH), while the time that Xehanort laid flowers on those four graves was 4 years after the main story of Dark Road. I believe both events were mentioned to be around the time of Xehanort and Eraqus's Mark of Mastery, which means that the Upperclassmen went missing 78 BKH. As an aside, if Xehanort was said by Nomura to be around 80 in KHBBS, but Young Xehanort was said to be 18 - 20. This is where you run into issue, as Xehanort was said to have been sent on his journey by Ansem SoD, and those two met before he even got to Scala ad Caelum, which would suggest that he would be 12 rather than 18, but I'm inclined to believe that 80 is more like a rough statement than a definitive age, given that Young Xehanort doesn't appear to be that much younger than Aqua, who is 18, making it more likely that Xehanort was born 92 BKH.
Thus:
*92 BKH: Xehanort is born on Destiny Islands.
*78 BKH: Xehanort encounters his future self's Heartless, who sends him on a mission through time to assemble the Seekers of Darkness in the World That Never Was to greet his future-most self.
*74 BKH: Xehanort meets the Master of Masters and is guided toward his destiny opposing those who rely on false light and seeking to restore equilibrium.
*14 BKH: Xehanort cleaves Ventus's Heart in two when he fails to draw upon darkness in order to forge the χ-Blade
*10 BKH: Xehanort possesses Terra, faces Aqua, and uses No Name to unlock his own Heart, but is returned to the Realm of Light by Aqua's sacrifice.
*9 BKH: Xehanort undertakes experiments on the Heart and discovers the Heart of Radiant Garden; Xehanort meets Mickey Mouse; Xehanort unlocks his own Heart, as well as the Hearts of Ansem the Wise's apprentices - becoming Ansem SoD and Xemnas; Ansem SoD travels back in time, while Xemnas and the Nobodies of Ansem the Wise's apprentices cast their master into the Realm of Darkness; Xehanort sends Kairi into the Ocean Between via the Life Boat in order to locate the chosen wielder of the Kingdom Key.
