What order should I replay the games in?

[whatpower]

Now that 3D is around the corner I want to catch up on all the games (I've already beaten all of them). Which would be the best replay order? Chronological or Release order?

I was thinking that Release order would be better, except for Days, which I would think would be best if played right after CoM, so it would go like:

KH1
CoM
Days
KH2
BBS

Chronological option would almost be the same except for BBS being played first. What do you guys think? Oh and I didn't include Coded on purpose.

If you're doing chronological play BBS first, other than that it's good

[whatpower]

Yes but see that's the main issue I'm having, whether to play chrono order or release order ( which essentially equates to whether or not I should play BBS first lol). My gut is telling me NOT to play BBS first but i just wanted to hear opinions.

I would play in release order; I don't think transitioning from BBS gameplay to KH1 gameplay would be a good idea. That, and a lot of the more recent and more relevant series concepts will be in the later titles, so those concepts will stay fresh in your mind longer for DDD.

If I had all games I would play in chrono order, but that's just me. It would be intresting to go from BBS to KH1

[wrong.]

Chronologically. Because playing BBS and following with KH1 will overhaul your appreciation for newer camera-tilt tech and KH2 sucks, so just get it out of the way.

I think playing the games in the order they were released is the best way.

I can imagine it would be. KH1 can be a noticeably different story when you include BBS in the picture.

That's what I was thinking, I don't even own a PS2 anymore. I might steal a friends this Summer and play through every game before DDD.

playing the games in chronological order would be VERY interesting.
BBS Terra>Ven>Aqua(PSP)
KH1(PS2)
358/2 days up til Axel leaves for CO(Nintendo DS/DS lite/Dsi/DsiXL)
COM/RE:com play both as Sora and Riku(GBA/Ps2)
finish 358/2 days(Nintendo DS/DS lite/Dsi/DsiXL)
KH2(PS2)
REcoded(Nintendo DS/DS lite/Dsi/DsiXL)
Then KH:Dream Drop Distance Wohoo!(Nintendo 3DS)

KH:DDD

If I were playing the series for the first time, I would go order of release then if I wanted to replay the series I would play them chronologically to better understand the story. I'm just going to wait until before KH3 to replay all the games.

[Shinjuku]

I can't bring myself to play the series in a chrono order probably mess with the bit of interest I have left plus going from BBS to KH1 and the COM to Days(if I had it which I don't want it) would be a pain.

KH1 did age well, but after playing games with the camera as the RAS(Right Analog Stick) you'd have to hate using the L2 and R2 buttons again.

[Hillboy]

Am I the only one that has never been bothered by the camera in KH1?

[Juggernaut6]

Really though, all the games have a mediocre camera.

I'm replaying the games in chronological order, but I am going to play Days right before KH2 because it leads right up to KH2.
