06.24.19 | KH CoM and 358/2 Days will be added in the near future, I finished those too |
Hendoi
06.26.19 | 100% agree with this.
|
kalkwiese
06.30.19 | Added Chain of Memories. Still have to decide how to rank 358/2 days with the first two, because I loved that game |
JayEnder
06.30.19 | 358/2 days had some of the shiittttiest bosses. Leechgrave's name alone makes me want to projectile vomit out my eyes. |
kalkwiese
06.30.19 | Oh, I fucking hated that one too! >:O But I appreciated the challenge tbh. Also Xion was tough as well and I liked it, because it hurt me as a player as much as it hurt me storywise lol |
kalkwiese
07.24.19 | Added 358/2 Days.
Playing Birth By Sleep atm, it's an interesting take on the KH universe. Still not sure how it would rank here though |
kalkwiese
10.31.19 | Added Birth By Sleep.
I also already finished Dream Drop Distance and A Fragmentary Passage. Playing KH3 atm, but I don't have much time for it. Loved this series so far, I hope the finale is worth it |
Tundra
10.31.19 | KH1 as 1, hell yeah, that game means a lot to me, glad you enjoyed that one as well! interesting that you prefer it over KH2 and I totally respect that opinion (coming from a die-hard fan fo the series) |
kalkwiese
10.31.19 | Yea, KH1 just felt more satifying tbh. KH2 might be smoother around the edges, but most of the time I was just spamming one button and winning without much effort. I needed more tactical thinking in the games I put above it. There was more to explore as well. I find myself enjoying the games alot more that incorporate these things. |
Tundra
10.31.19 | interested to see where you will put KH3, also agree that 358/2 Days is one of the best and definitely deserves a remake on a console |
Scheumke
10.31.19 | Only just started playing KH3 which is my first contact with the series. My gf was playing it and it looked fun as hell, and since I'm a bit of Disney nut, and I needed something light after Sekiro, I'd decided to give it a go. |
kalkwiese
10.31.19 | I just wanted to tell you that KH3 builds upon all the other games storywise. From what my friends told me it's not possible to actually get what going on without having played the other games and the little movie KH X Back Cover.
But yea, KH is rather light more like a Shonen anime. |
Space Jester
10.31.19 | If you want to get the most out of KH2’s combat you need to play on critical |
kalkwiese
11.07.19 | Added Dream Drop Distance.
@Space Jester: You're probably right there, but you have to finish the game first before you can chose that mode, so that's not an option in this ranking imo |
Tundra
11.07.19 | DDD higher than KH2? now THAT'S an unpopular opinion |
kalkwiese
11.07.19 | I have no idea how other people rank these games, but I guess I just wore it off when I played it again and again when I was younger |
kalkwiese
11.07.19 | Now that I'm thinking about it I should switch them tbh. KH2 has some awesome standout moments that are just brilliant. It outweighs some of the points I don't dig about the game |
kalkwiese
11.08.19 | Added A Fragmentary Passage. Now I'm up to date with the games I already played. |
kalkwiese
01.14.20 | Added KHIII now. I finished it months ago and forgot about the list lul.
I wanted to write more about it, but there wasn't enough space for all. And starting another paragraph for a game like this? nah. |
Tundra
01.14.20 | no FF characters, floaty combat, no colosseum, screwed up Xehanort's character, Kairi useless once again, Proud mode braindead easy, critical mode horribly unbalanced, best part about the game is level detailings and designs, nuf said |
dimsim3478
01.14.20 | "Yea, KH1 just felt more satifying tbh. KH2 might be smoother around the edges, but most of the time I was just spamming one button and winning without much effort."
fuckin nail on the head right here |
Tundra
01.14.20 | "Yea, KH1 just felt more satifying tbh. KH2 might be smoother around the edges, but most of the time I was just spamming one button and winning without much effort."
Also agree, KH1 was insanely satisfying |
Gyromania
01.14.20 | Worst fucking story in all of gaming tbh |
kalkwiese
01.14.20 | The story wasn't perfect to begin with, but it took a massive nosedive with DDD for sure |
Gyromania
01.14.20 | i haven't played any of the in-between games because they look flatout fucking retarded. i've seen summaries on their stories and hated every second of it. played the 3rd game last year. had fun exploring these gorgeous worlds but the story and dialogue were just so, so, so ridiculously terrible. |
kalkwiese
01.14.20 | KHIII has lots of bad dialogues. |
JayEnder
01.14.20 | [2] III had absolutely none of II's charm |
kalkwiese
01.16.20 | Spoileralert! These videos are brilliant though.

01.16.20 | Anti-Aqua being fucking angry was an awesome moment though |
Tundra
07.20.20 | KHIII sucked harrd bruh |
kalkwiese
07.20.20 | It had some improvements over DDD, but damn it was disappointing! |
Tundra
07.20.20 | this is my tier list https://gyazo.com/481daa4b63d96e00cdd295ed3643ba60 |
kalkwiese
07.20.20 | That's fair. Got to change my ranking tbh. KH2 is better than BBS |
Gyromania
07.20.20 | Garbage tier game franchise |
kalkwiese
07.20.20 | It hard to explain tbh. Normies will never understand. |
Gyromania
07.20.20 | It's the most pretentious story in all of gaming, with boring combat and tedious quests. I will say 1 and 2 are pretty enjoyable but everything after those is a total dumspter fire. |
Slex
07.20.20 | True |
kalkwiese
07.20.20 | Nomura is a madman and for some weird reason I want to know what stupid shit he comes up with next lol |
Keyblade
07.20.20 | been going through the series of my namesake again. last time I played it was like 2007 when I was in still in HS
finished KH1, just have the optional bosses left and now I'm playing Re: Chain of Memories and it's fun. felt better as a GBA game tho |
Keyblade
07.20.20 | also I distinctly remember liking KH1 more than 2 for the reason that while the combat was way better in 2, the gameplay was literally just fight heartless, go to room watch cutscene, repeat |
kalkwiese
07.20.20 | Yea, I liked the platforming and puzzles in KH1, even though it was rough around the edges. |
Keyblade
07.20.20 | yea it wasn't perfect, and it certainly wasn't like zelda or something but it kept things fresh. there was something to do and think about in each world. idk I hope my initial teenage assessment of KH2 is wrong cuz I'll be getting around to that soon lol |
kalkwiese
07.20.20 | People say the best KH experience in KH2 on critical, because that's when the combat really shines. "the gameplay was literally just fight heartless, go to room watch cutscene, repeat" |
Keyblade
07.20.20 | oh yea I got the all in one package recently, for less than 50 bucks. I don't even have a PS4 but that looks like a deal way too good to pass up. seriously what is up with that |
kalkwiese
07.20.20 | It's fucking necessary! Not everyone can have all the consoles the games were released on. It's really great to have all of them on one console now lol. It's shame 358/2 Days didn't get a remake though, it would have been so much better than the original or the movie thing they made out of it |
ConcubinaryCode
07.20.20 | Kh1 is dumb underrated. I enjoyed the world design elements a lot more that they just abandoned in later games. 358/2 has decent story but gameplay wise it's one of the worst. It makes sense they just remade it as a movie. Also while we're at it I can't think of a series that is as lazy as this in terms of reusing assets, music, and designs. |
Feather
07.20.20 | I am still so sad that III was a bit of a bust. It is like they gave up with the story. It was just so immature and tacky. I and II were so good and several of the side games were awesome as well. |
kalkwiese
07.20.20 | I always thought the music was spot on tbh. It's awesome how in KH3 the battle theme for the fight with Sora, Roxas and Xion is a remix/mashup thing of Dearly Beloved, The Other Promise and Vector To The Heavens. I know it sounds like bullshit, but beneath the crazy BS of Nomura lies some real artistry.
... I'm too much into it to get out lol I'm lost |
Keyblade
07.20.20 | yea I was hoping 358/2 would be on there but from what I hear the gameplay isn't that great so w/e. the DS ones are the only ones I don't have the og system for so I'm glad at least DDD is on there. I remember being excited for that when the trailers were coming out
"Also while we're at it I can't think of a series that is as lazy as this in terms of reusing assets, music, and designs."
isn't a lot of this just fanservice? |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
07.20.20 | this shit always looked lame to me tbh
played a small dose of the first one thats about it |
Keyblade
07.20.20 | it's such a product of it's time. if it didn't appeal to u when it came out very little chance it would in 2020. only thing keeping it alive is the fanbase who basically have Stockholm syndrome now lol |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
07.20.20 | lmao |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
07.20.20 | the idea of final fantasy meets disney characters just never appealed to me i didnt get it |
kalkwiese
07.20.20 | It's a weird thing that should not have worked tbh, but it did. Kind of lightning in a bottle.
Yea, I've got some bad Stockholm Syndrome tbh. I even read the whole Sleeping Realm Theory that is now disproven in many parts and proven in others. It's theory that said KH3 was kind of an alternative time line. It's super interesting and the worst thing is it's pretty plausible. After Dream Drop Distance ANYTHING could be plausible LOL |
Keyblade
07.20.20 | man I'm glad life took over and I had no time to play or keep up with games over the past decade. I'd probably have went crazy waiting for KH3 and keeping up with all the games |
Tundra
07.20.20 | If KHII had a more refined puzzle system like in KHI it would be even more goated than it already is, abandoning the puzzles was a dumb idea |
ConcubinaryCode
07.20.20 | Having a more robust level layout would've been cool too. Cavern of Remembrance is the only area in the game that uses the growth abilities. It's such a missed opportunity that could've cemented a ps2 era kh3 as the best thing ever.
"isn't a lot of this just fanservice?" fan service stuff would be like axel getting a keyblade. Nobody really cares for the reused assets especially when it's CoM tier stuff. |
ConcubinaryCode
07.20.20 | "the idea of final fantasy meets disney characters just never appealed to me i didnt get it"
My favorite part about it was the live action rpg. The ff7 remake has so much kh DNA its not even funny. It was one of the best rpgs at the time the first game came out imo. It boggles my mind how ff couldn't get the battle system right when they tried exploring other systems past the AtB. |
Keyblade
07.20.20 | u nailed it dude. I was just getting into jrpgs around the time I first played KH. I was playing FF7 and chrono cross but they never really captured my attention until KH. the battle system was a revelation. the disney stuff was just a bonus on top of that |
Tundra
07.20.20 | Disney is just a bonus yeah, KH1 relied on it's own characters etc and didnt use the Disney characters as a crutch which it easily could have done |
ConcubinaryCode
07.20.20 | I liked that the Disney villains felt more sinister and that they teamed up to reach their goals too. Malificent has been a thing in all the main games but she hasn't done shit since kh1 which is a shame. The series became a lot more self contained with the world's which isn't a bad thing but it's just something that makes it feel like a gimmick now. |
