Kotaku - Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix is the newest in a long line of last generation titles being remastered for the current generation of HD consoles. Like many of these remasters, Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix is a collection of several games—in this case, Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories. It also comes with a compilation movie using a remastered version of the cutscenes in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (which we covered earlier this week). But while most HD collections feature only visual updates, Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix goes one step beyond to add in gameplay tweaks as well as new content never seen before outside of Japan to make this the definitive version of these games.
As the decade ends, let’s look back at many of the biggest moments in the Kingdom Hearts series. From games to merchandise, there was something for every Kingdom Hearts fan to enjoy.
Kingdom Hearts' Organization XIII is full of many different personalities. Here is how we've ranked each of the members from worst to best.
Kingdom Hearts has exploded. While Kingdom Hearts III is only the third game in the trilogy, it is one of many titles that rounds out the series' lore. It is a lot to take in, and people might not have time to go through all of it. Fortunately, Michibiku's guide is here to help! To help better illustrate what is going on and what people should be playing, here is the full timeline going through when every game happens and if someone should watch or play through each one.
Chain of Memories and 358/2 have a lot of important stuff that lead into KH2. Otherwise you'll be Really lost at beginning of 2. You can easily find a videos of all the cutscenes of both games so you dont have to play through them all the way.
Wouldn't actually say Chains is necessary before going into 2 since you know just as much as Sora. While I do like a lot from 358/2, aside from a few things it's mostly world/character building Days came out after 2 anyway and would take a lot of mystery away. Maybe I'm just trying to simulate how I experienced the story but in that case I actually started playing 2 first lol. Cutscenes should be sufficient for sure.
I'd through 0.2 in there as well just cause it's so short and has a decent amount of information. What the hell did Mickey mean?
just give me KH 1, KH 2, and KH Birth by Sleep on one blu-ray disc with secret trophy/trailer announcing KH 3 and you have one happy fan.
1.5 is a stupid idea..if you thing I'm paying $40 for one quality game, a game no one cares about and a set of friiggin movie collections that I could view right now on youtube you are foolish..I would only spend that much money for 1 2 and BBS on one disc...you can't have one game that people actually enjoyed ..KH is my favorite series but the portable titles are soooo lacking and not even remotely equal to 1 and 2
isnt that the whole point of HD? to make it better than it originally was.
