MrMelodramatic 12/25/17 1:05:52 PM #1:	Okay so my brother has a PS4 with Kingdom Hearts 1.5, 2.5, and 2.8. I should be able to get the complete story with just those three games, right? If not, what else do I need? If so, in what order should I play everything? Is it realistic that I'll get through all of them in about seven days, if I have almost nothing else to do and can devote several hours to it per day? Would playing MGS5 be a better use of my time? --- Proud to be EPic Texas Aggie, Class of 2018 A-Whoop! <cite>MrMelodramatic posted [p:892845689] in Deciding i...

As for story, youll have a decent understanding but theres a lot of crap not in those games, I dont think its really been noticeable holes in the story but if you try and talk about the game with the hardcore followers its going to be a bit hard. --- RSN: Pridefc PSN: Jaosin <cite>J_Dawg983 posted [p:892845859] in Deciding i...

MrMelodramatic posted... in what order should I play everything? Release order is my preference. That is(from the collections): Kingdom Hearts Final Mix Kingdom Hearts RE: Chain of Memories Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (Watch) Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep Final Mix Kingdom Hearts coded (Watch) Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance Final Mix Kingdom Hearts Back Cover (Watch) 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A Fragmentary Passage MrMelodramatic posted... Is it realistic that I'll get through all of them in about seven days, if I have almost nothing else to do and can devote several hours to it per day? Probably not. Even with missing out on the stuff that's not really needed such as the watchable stuff each game takes about 10-15 hours to get through minus the last one. MrMelodramatic posted... Would playing MGS5 be a better use of my time? That game gets repetitive very fast. I enjoyed it but don't expect anything along the lines of the other MGS games.
