    What I mean is, is anybody going to "story-hop"? 
     
    I want to know exactly what's going on, when it's happening, and who's involved. So, I'm going to play all of the stories in chronological manner. Once I beat a world with Terra, I'll move on to Aqua and beat a world with her, then go to Ventus and finish a world and restart the cycle. This is so I know what each character is doing at each point of the story, I don't want be left guessing or, worse, confused.
     
    I'm sure others are going to do this, but could you kindly tell me if you are. Or, if you aren't, what you ARE going to do and why?

    Don't know, I thought about that. I will probably stick with one character for a while, and if it gets boring switch to someone else. The problem (as I see it) with doing it the way you propose is it seems like it would get too confusing especially since the first Disney world each of the characters visit is different. I find I can keep track of time lines pretty well if I go through one at a time like I did in Sonic Adventure or Chain of Memories.

    That's why I want to split it up by worlds. As long as I keep switching at regular (consistent)intervals, I'll be able to keep up.  If I get so excited about one story and finish it without doing my other duties in the other stories, then I would get confused. I can keep up with multiple crossing storylines, so I think I'll personally be O.K.

    Terra?  Aqua?  Ventus?  Who the fuck are these people?
     
    I miss the days when it was just Sora, Riku, and Kairi with a bunch of Disney characters and a few FF characters (which they could cut out and I wouldn't mind).

    This is how I'll play it: I won't.
     
    Kingdom Hearts is an awful excuse for a story-driven Action RPG.

     Don't forget that Kingdom Hearts as a whole is and always will be one of the best franchises of all time.
    @Andorski:
    That was...um...just the first game. Plus, since this is a prequel, by definition it wouldn't make sense to have those three in the game as the main characters.

    Why would someone who doesn't have the slightest interest in Kingdom Hearts click on a KH related thread made for people that are going to play BBS? And then why would they proceed to leave a comment about how they're not going to play it? You guys are fucking stupid.
     
    ANYWAY, I believe Nomura said himself that the best order for understanding everything is Terra - Ventus - Aqua, and I've heard that's the order they leave their home world and visit other worlds, but I'm not certain. So you would want to beat a world as Terra, then Ventus, then Aqua. I, personally, am not too fond of the idea of constantly switching between the three stories. I think I'm just going to do each story one at a time. That being said, I've decided that I'm going to do Ventus first, then Terra, then Aqua. Mainly because I want to do them in the order recommended by Nomura, but, I'm way more interested in Ven's story, so I'm doing him first.
     
    Also, a heads up, I've heard that Aqua's story has "tremendous" spoilers for Ven's story, so it's probably better to play as Ven before Aqua.

    I think I'm going to do it that way now. Simply because I read/watched a few reviews, and if you play through one story at a time you get a more cryptic and biased experience based on your character. I've never played a game like that, and apparently your ideas change a lot throughout.

    kingdom hearts 1 was great; but the story became way too complex and shit for it's own good. It's why they only do 1-2 direct final fantasies based on the same universe I suppose

    For a second I thought you meant you were going to play the games in the SERIES in chronological order. Like BBS, 1, CoM, 358/2, then 2.  Then I'd say Boy you CRazy! 
     
    Yeah I'm gonna do that. Did the same thing in Trauma Team.
