I'm playing Kingdom Hearts for the first time!

I can agree with TrollHunter about KH2 having a better combat system while KH1 has the better story but then again I feel KH2 has the weakest plot in the series though I haven't played KH:coded yet.

KH1 is the most Disney friendly in the series, making the Disney elements feel important (same with the FF cameos) the rest of the series moves onto its own story that KH1 will introduce and Disney and FF elements will feel more like filler in the later installments.

There are some chests that you will not be able to get to until close to the end of the game. Traverse Town is the biggest offender of this because it's revisited so often. It's a good idea to revisit each world later in the game to get things you may have missed. Just a couple warnings though. There is a trinity mark in Halloween Town that if not activated before fighting Oogie Boogie, it will be inaccessible forever, so if things like that annoy you make sure to get it when you can. The rewards for this particular mark are nothing special.

Also there is an event that will result in every world getting stronger enemies, when this happens there will also be two superbosses you want to know about because they will happily beat you up if you are unprepared. Kurt Zisa is in Agrabah and he can disable your magic during one of his phases and hits very hard during that phase. The other is the Phantom in Neverland. He is a magic based boss that uses doom to remove your party from the rest of the battle.

Also there are a special group of heartless you should know about. They are all very rare and if you know what to do with them you can get some very nice rewards. The White Mushrooms will do a cute action signaling a specific spell they want you to cast on them, and if you cast the correct spell 3 times they will be very happy and give you lots of presents. The Black Fungus ones are evil and have very high defenses, love to poison you and can make themselves invulnerable for a bit. Finally the blue Rare Truffles are very rare, and when they appear they will be jumping because they love to jump. You have to hit them to see how many times you can help them bounce before they hit the ground, the more you hit them, the better the rewards.

You should play as much of the series as you can! Arguably, the handheld titles are even better than the console titles. BbS has the best system yet, while 358/2 and CoM present their stories in a very touching way. I have yet to play coded, though the opinions I've heard of it vary pretty much.

Here's a good strategy for some of the tougher parts in the game:

Oh my god, I never would have thought of that.
Thank you for your words of wisdom good sir.

I tried to teach her how to deflect attacks and get some tech points but she couldn't get the hang of the timing. Luckily I'm a smurfing master at it and got her to level 10 before she left the island.

I know, I'm pretty awesome. You may rep me if you wish.

[Marshall Banana]

Pfft! I have a save in which Sora is about level 30 and still on Destiny Islands (no joke)!

I just have snapshots of Selphie's panties as well as Jane's because it was a challenge. :bowpanties:

Playing Baseball with Wakka is a lot of fun though, sometimes I got him to hit Tidus or Selphie even.

The gummi battles are hard I keep shooting but I forget to steer and crash and die

It was better when I was hitting bad guys with the keyblade. Eric made me super strong ^_^

The Gummi sequences are pretty boring! =x
Look forward to soon being able to teleport to worlds you've previously visited!

I found the gummi ship building to be a lot more fun in this game than in 2. I remember spending hours building ships in the first game.

[Marshall Banana]

Me, too! Building ships is pretty fun. Flying them...isn't.

Damn, that's a sexy gummi ship.

I can agree with this completely. While both games ship sections sucked the ones in 2 sucked a bit less. The ones in Kh1 were just... just... horrible.

[Jiro]

I want that Millennium Falcon. I want it.
