I don't know how long you think these games are, but I assure you they aren't that long.Oh god, that's a lot of content to go through. That's why I want to just play 3, because I don't want to rush through the previous titles. I want to fully immerse myself.
Gonna be rough playing KH1 and CoM.Wanted to enjoy the visuals, new Disney characters. Besides, I plan on playing all of them in order after I beat 3.
Precisely.Watch a youtube video and play through 3. You will obviously not get everything storywise but you already knew that. Asking a question like this on forums is going to bring out the franchise hardcores and their expected replies.
But muh zeitgeist FOMOThis brings me back to a post I made earlier about why it is people feel they need to play a game the moment it is released and not wait. There is no deadline that tells you that you need to finish the entire series in time for the release of KH3.
KH3 was built for the current generation console and looks rather striking. Much, much better than the prequels.This brings me back to a post I made earlier about why it is people feel they need to play a game the moment it is released and not wait. There is no deadline that tells you that you need to finish the entire series in time for the release of KH3.
Sounds like a good idea, this series isn't built upon insane plot twists or anythingI rather play the new game and then go back and enjoy the story.
Should be fine. I'd recommend not reading any summaries for the previous games either. Kingdom Hearts 3 will offer a very strong, compelling narrative regardless of if you've played the previous games or not.
Quoted the wrong personSounds like a good idea, this series isn't built upon insane plot twists or anything
xehanort "who will you save ventus or roxas"
entremet "erm thats the same person, is the game bugged or s/t"
Kairi "hey axel, want a ice cream?"
Lea "Sure"
Kairi "Here you go Lea"
entremet "wtf is this guys name"
Hes gonna be so compelled
I just went and watched a bunch of youtube videos to catch up on everything. As for people asking why, people don't have hundreds of hours worth of time to invest in like 120+ hours to play through the collection. I would never get to experience Kingdom Hearts 3 if i didn't catch up on the story in other means.
You can absolutely do it, just make sure you do the recap on the game or look for a really well made youtube video.
Because i would never get the time to play 5 Kingdom Heart games? It's gonna take me probably 2 months just to beat KH3. Also, why do you care? I already know the story, i don't need to play them.I don't understand why you feel you have to play KH3 right away if you haven't played any of the other games.
I love this post :DDon't listen to them. I read Book 7 of Harry Potter first, then read the fifth, then Chamber of Secrets, then 3, 4, 1, wrapping it up with book six.
None of the story made sense, but I'm mostly just there for the experience of holding a book, and getting to look at words in any order I choose.
or they could watch the cutscenes on youtube if they are so inclined to jump into a series that is on its 7th entry.Lmao at people being adamant about playing this clusterfuck of a plot in order. Also what kind of poop socking do you expect people to do? Play 5+ KH games in order of release before the new one comes out? Who has that time?
you haven't played the version on ps3 or ps4 have you? b/c this is a bad take mateVery bad idea.
The gameplay is really shitty in KH2.
So many hack and slash sequence...and doing that for 50+hrs. Geezus.
And that is just one game.
Pretty much. Outside of the time travel bs, the overall story of the series isn't that hard to follow.or they could watch the cutscenes on youtube if they are so inclined to jump into a series that is on its 7th entry.
there are multiple ways you can jump in without being absolutely blind to the whole series going into three.
but seriously, calling kh a clusterfuck in its plotting is like calling any young adult book series, long running movie franchise, or even a shounen manga a clusterfuck.
If you consume it in order its not hard to figure out whats happening b/c the new information comes at you as you progress rather than all at once.
Seriously if i tried to explain fucking Naruto, Harry Potter, or some other stuff in their entirety to someone they would also get frusterated and pissy b/c they its hard to wrap your mind around a decade+ franchise with progressing and interwoven plots in the span of a few minutes.
People often give shit about stuff like the Ansem SoD vs Ansem the wise vs Xehanort vs Xemnas shiz, but as the games progress that information comes in such a way that it actually isn't confusing.
Seriously, if a person does not have the time, they can still consume the story.
"who has the time to figure out the plotting of a 15+ year franchise when they only wanna experience the new hotness".
you kidding?
you haven't played the version on ps3 or ps4 have you? b/c this is a bad take mate
also, how did it take you that long to beat kh2? I replayed it a year and a bit ago on ps3 (with the shit load times and long transformations), i grinded out the drives and did the cavern of rememberance and beat the final boss and I was only at 38 hours.
Like no one takes 50+ hours just to beat kh.
I did.Lmao at people being adamant about playing this clusterfuck of a plot in order. Also what kind of poop socking do you expect people to do? Play 5+ KH games in order of release before the new one comes out? Who has that time?
It is kinda, the spinoffs just provide better context to the overall story and some make it worse. playing KH1, CoM and KH2 is probably enough.
Very bad idea.

No...no you are not able to do that.I want to play Kingdom Hearts 3 first, then go back to the other titles and replay 3 again. Am I able to do that?
Agreed. Just go for it. Honestly the story is a mess anyway. Overly simplistic with lots of useless meandering typical to anime storytelling. A five minute recap vid and you'll be ready to go.SE already commented there will be some sort recap movie with KH3. I cannot fathom people burning out themselves out on 5 plus games only to understand the story. Along with fan made stuff on YT.
There are hardcore fans that don't remember anything and they are getting it. Don't get sucked into this completionist perfectionism.
