My experience with the series:

A few hours of the first game
Chain of Memories (GBA), both stories fully beaten
A small amount of Days
A small amount of BBS

And that's it. The series has been on my list because my brother got me KH3 for Christmas a few years ago thinking I was a big fan of the series. So I may as well go at it.

I'm starting the original on PS2 tonight while I wait for The Story So Far to arrive.

Chain of Memories 3D is way better (from what I hear, I never played the original).

Honestly I'd like to get the original experience with the first game, and since I have it I may as well (not having 2 or DDD still makes TSSF a worthwhile investment even if I play 1 elsewhere).

Well y'all got your wish and I'll be playing the PS4 version after all. The analog stick on my last working PS2 controller suddenly became janky as fuck (despite me having played a few games on it over the summer just fine) and the collection will likely arrive before I can get a new one.

Started KH1FM today. It's... very slow starting. A lot of aimless running around on Destiny Island and now in Traverse Town. Dunno how I'm going to get Donald and Goofy to finally find me. Also even though the controller is fine the controls still don't feel particularly smooth.

Yeah, KH games have super slow beginnings. As a kid I loved exploring Destiny Island but on my replay I was like "No major video game would ever do something like this again."

I can't beat the boss of Wonderland because Goofy and Donald are fucking useless fucks. I've tried configuring them in ways that seem more appropriate and they still just sit in front of its attacks and die.

Goofy and Donald don't really ever "help", they're kind of just there for flavor.

Donald can be kind of helpful in clearing regular crowds of enemies when he gets more powerful magic, but Goofy's only good use is turning off all his abilities except the one where he gives you his MP, making him a walking magic resupply system.

They definitely help in certain situations, mostly as something to draw aggro away from you in mob encounters.

At the beginning they are very useless though because they die so quickly. Also they tend to just be dead during boss fights.

You only have to do the Gummi levels the first time. After that, you can just fly directly to the world.

You need the Warp-G to start warping after beating the first round of worlds.

Tonight I've gotten up to the beginning of Atlantica.

The game and story have definitely picked up pace. I've had to look at guides quite a few times to see where to go or what to do next, as it isn't always clear.

Some of the side stuff doesn't interest me in the slightest. Gummi Ship building seems terrible and horrible to navigate.

How different is Re:CoM from the GBA version? Is it going to be worth counting as a separate entry on my beated games list?

The game is the same, but being in 3D actually pretty radically changes the gameplay significantly. Positioning and reaction time in boss battles becomes even more important than it was before.

Holy fucking c*** this Little Mermaid level sucks the biggest load of c*** in the fucking world. It's the Goddamn worst. I hate everything about it. And this second Ursula battle is about to make me quit the fucking game and snap it in half. Fuck this fucking shit.

And it's too bad because this is actually my favorite Disney movie. And Under the Sea is my favorite Disney song. But after listening to it on loop for several fucking hours I never want to hear it again.

No its technically optional in kh1.

I think you have to beat only 2 of monstro, Atlantic's, and Halloween town to unlock neverland.

Which means you can complete monstro after the events in HB and the scenes with Riku will be replaced by a shadow riku or somethin

Halloween Town beated. God, that was a much much MUCH better level, and Oogie Boogie was a much more interesting and less frustrating boss fight.

Finished that level with a playtime of 14 hours to the second. Now it's onto Neverland, I believe?

Can confirm. Without looking up a guide I never did figure out a good strat for Ursula. I ended up just doing a lot of evading and never found a great way to actually weave in damage. I wouldn't doubt that Donald and Goofy did most of the work.

You can get yourself stuck behind her head after she's stunned sometimes. The Chernabog fight can be cheesed like that too, but it's a lot easier there than with Ursula because she moves around a bit more.

My strategy for second Ursula was... just to stay as far away as possible while Ariel and Donald/Goofy slowly, slowly whittled her down and then going back in to land the final blow.

Also I had someone in high school give me his memory card so I could beat that fight for him because he couldn't do it.
