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. | 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?

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 Do-land 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 on 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 since to me. Doesn't make sense to try and explain the story to 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. :) | |||
