Reddit reviews Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue - PlayStation 4

Just a heads up right now KH 1.5 + 2.5 and 2.8 are both on sale for $20 at GameStop so until those sales end it's not a better deal.

Although I'm not sure if it's all on one disc or not, I'd doubt it personally but you never know.

Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 - GameStop

Kingdom Hearts 2.8 - GameStop

Edit: Amazon also has Kingdom Hearts 2.8 for $20. KH 1.5+2.5 looks sold out on Amazon.

so this

and this

Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5

Kingdom Hearts 2.8

All the games are on the PS4 for you to play. 1.5 refers to the Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Re:Chain of Memories and the 358/2 Days as a cutscene movie. 2.5 is Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix, Birth By Sleep: Final Mix and Re:Coded as a cutscene movie.

Assuming you have a PS3 or PS4, Birth By Sleep is in the Kingdom Hearts 2.5 collection.

They put Kingdom Hearts Final Mix and Chain of Memories into the 1.5 collection for PS3.

Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix and Birth By Sleep Final Mix in 2.5 for PS3.

And then they did Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 together for PS4.

Sorry its so complicated.

But if you have a PS4 you can just buy

This and have most of the games.

And then Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue(dont ask just go with it) has the rest.

The games you need are Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX (comes out in March) and Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue (already out). Next year, the series will finish with the release of Kingdom Hearts III.

To get the full story, you pretty much have to play every game. A couple of them aren't as important, but you'll still miss something if you skip them. The remixes only include the cut scenes for some games, which is enough if you just want the story.

If you enjoy the music now, once you finish the series, you should definitely listen to /u/ProjectDestati's music. They do orchestrated versions of several tracks. (I'd suggest not looking up the music itself until you finish the series, by the way.)

Also, I'm not sure if you know this, but there's also Kingdom Hearts 2.8, which you should play after you finish all of the 1.5+2.5 disc.

The 1.5/ 2.5/ 2.8 games are compilation stories with additional content and gameplay enhancements

If you want to get caught up with the story, there's a 1.5+2.5 collection bundle coming out in March for the PS4. It contains 4 games and two movies. After that, you just need KH2.8 (releasing in 8 days) which contains 2 games and a movie for the PS4. These two purchases contain all 9 stories in the Kingdom Hearts saga for you to enjoy as part of Nomura's promise on having all the games on one console. After that, you'll be completely ready for KH3.

Preferred playorder is the release order (playing all games in 1.5, then 2.5, then 2.8 is totally fine), but you may find it extra fun to go through them like this:

• Kingdom Hearts Final Mix (From KH1.5),
  
• Re: Chain of Memories (KH1.5),
  
• Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix (From KH2.5),
  
• 358/2 Days (KH1.5),
  
• Birth By Sleep Final Mix (KH2.5),
  
• Re: Coded (KH2.5),
  
• Dream Drop Distance (KH2.8)
  
• X[chi] Back Cover (From KH2.8),
  
• 0.2 Birth by Sleep – A Fragmentary Passage (From KH2.8),
  

If you can wait until march, you can pick up this which has everything but Dream Drop Distance (available in this package along with a brief story taking place after Birth by Sleep).

There have been a lot of Kingdom Hearts games that have come out since Kingdom Hearts 1 came out in 2002. There's been the first game, Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts 2, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Kingdom Hearts Coded, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance, and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep 0.2 -A fragmentary passage.

The collections are the newest versions of these games. Kingdom Hearts 1.5, Kingdom Hearts 2.5, and Kingdom Hearts 2.8 are the collections. Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 is just both of those two collections on a single disc, but made for the PS4 rather than the PS3.

The cheapest way to get these games is either to get 1.5+2.5 and 2.8 used, or to buy The Story So Far, which is a digital version of all of the collections, which include all of the games so far. It's only $40, and you get six games and three movies (358/2 Days, Re:Coded, and X: Back Cover are all movies). All in One is exactly like The Story So Far, but also includes Kingdom Hearts 3. It's $100, so you don't save any money by getting All in One rather than The Story So Far.

My whole point being that you shouldn't pay more than $40 USD for all of the games prior to Kingdom Hearts 3.

Yes they are! You can just buy 1.5+2.5 and 2.8 and you'll be all set for KH3! Welcome to the complicated world of Kingdom Hearts and numbers.

[This] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015HAL2OA/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=ILY2VHHQ5FHKO&colid=2F75C4UXELQLN) is the closet one I have. It was added July 18, 2017. Thank you for the contest!

I'd suggest going for the kingdom hearts the story so far (minus 3) it's about 40$ usd, and has kh1 final mix, chain of memories re, kh2 final mix, recoded and 358/2 days "movies", birth by sleep, dream drop distance, kh2.8, and the hour long movie or so to hint at kh3 stuff. If you have never played a oh game this is a great set to get, but if you can find the 1.5+2.5 collection and 2.8 for cheaper, go for that as they are the same thing down to the bit from what I've heard.

Edit: you can also get a collection of all of them and kh3 on the psn for 100$ USD with kh1.5 and 2.5+ 2.8 as downloadable as of the purchase

Edit 2:

The above would likely keep you busy for quite some time likely til kh3s release.

All you gotta do is buy this:
https://www.amazon.com/Kingdom-Hearts-1-5-2-5-ReMIX-PlayStation/dp/B01M32FMUL/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1518286736&sr=8-1&keywords=1.5%2B2.5&dpID=61sjtAYg5zL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch&th=1

Once you have both of those games play through the first linked game and play through it in the exact order its presented as on the disc. Once you complete the disc all the way through play the second game in the exact same fashion. Once you complete that you're ready for KH3. On top of those you can also explore the mobile KH game but it's not required.
If you follow my instructions listed above you won't miss a beat about the KH franchise and will be completely ready for the newest game.

Yeah, thanks. For some reason when I googled it, I could only find this page. Someone helped me find the correct page. I should've just went to Amazon and searched for it directly. Thanks for the info.
