Kingdom Hearts: The Story So Far collects the entire saga on PS4

One of the most lukewarm takes in gaming is that the story of Kingdom Hearts is impossible to follow. Spread across 12 unique titles thus far Kingdom Hearts 3 will be the 13th entry the timeline is notoriously complex, sure. But Square Enix is doing its best to help out anyone whos fallen off the Kingdom Hearts train since the first game launched in 2002, releasing the most complete compilation yet for the series this fall.

Out Oct. 30, Kingdom Hearts: The Story So Far for PlayStation 4 will include every relevant piece of story content in a single set. The package collects both Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 Remix and Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, so that fans will no longer need to make two separate purchases to get the entire series under one roof.

That seems to be the biggest selling point of the $39.99 compilation. The Story So Far lacks new content, but it makes up for it by housing every Kingdom Hearts game. Only problem is, neither collection it draws from has the games listed in chronological order, so youll still have to work that part out yourself.

And that right there is what makes this pointless, why even add the 2.9 title if there's not something new in there? It might as well be a fucking collector's edition.

That's because the 2.9 title was just TC making a funny. It's not actually in the game's title.

Game is pretty fun but the skill and spell unlocking is locked behind a tomogatchi system. Really needless, IMO.

How the hell did they manage to cram so much convoluted shit between KH2 and KH3 instead of just working on KH3?

Because when they made KH2 they left a lot of unanswered questions that they later felt needed separate games to answer before moving on to 3.

Oh nice. All for $40 is great.

Also kind of embarrassing seeing the article call for them to be in chronological order. Probably more important to put them in...you know...the order they are supposed to be played in. Otherwise, Empire Strikes Back big twist is like "yeah, I know already".

Let's be real, if you own a Xbox and only a Xbox you probably have no interest in the series. I doubt Square expects big sales on the platform.

Considering they were made on their own engines and had to be rebuilt a lot for PS4, probably a lot more than it's worth. It's not like Kingdom Hearts 3 (which is using Unreal believe) that can be slapped on the Xbox super easy.

If anything, I expect Kingdom Hearts to come to the PC eventually given how much effort Square has put their recently. Maybe when that port happens, so will a Xbox one.

When i first saw this announcement I was excited because I thought they'd finally bring it all to the Xbox since 3 will be there.

Nope.

Aren't the Xbone and PS4 very similar in terms of hardware?

Does anyone even understand the storyline of these games anymore? I remember when KH2 came out and I was super excited. Then I was like wow I can't wait till KH3 comes out. 597 games released across 47 handheld systems later and I honestly have like 0 hype for this game now that it's finally coming out.

It's for people like me who haven't played since the first one and didn't buy the other collections.

I'm still not buying this one either but it's for people like me.

I doubt it. The majority of people buying this probably already own the games.

How big's the market for people who want to buy all the games but haven't bothered with the series for 15 years?

Honestly this would have made perfect sense if it was also an Xbox One release, since there's never been a KH title on an Xbox system before until 3.

So yeah, re-re-releasing it on PS4 again is pretty dumb.

It's still not on PC though. Square has been porting a lot of their stuff to steam recently and I'm actually really enjoying the easy access to the nostalgia as well as their new stuff. I'm totally counting on them doing the same to KH leading up or soon after the release of KH3.

Let's be real, if you own a Xbox and only a Xbox you probably have no interest in the series. I doubt Square expects big sales on the platform.

Only own an XB1 and I 100%'d both KH1 and 2 as a kid.

An Xbox version of this would only help boost sales or at the very least catch XB1 gamers up to the story. They're literally bringing the classic FFs to the XB1 but no sign of KH.
