If you don’t plan on continuing the game beyond the main story, the reports can be read here. There should be 13 on the PS3/PS4 version. Actually, you should read these as you pick them up throughout the game, but reading them all in order really clarifies the story. Be sure to use all your summons at least once! Most of them make a cameo in upcoming games.Once you beat the game, do the following: The next game is always a building block upon the previous works, even if the timeline isn’t exactly chronological. Lastly, and probably most importantly, though the games don’t require knowledge of any previous games to play and enjoy, the developers have been building a canon in release order.The motives of certain characters and the development of others are more exciting (and sometimes less contradicting!) in release order.There are also certain actions in BBS that have a lot of relevance that you could completely overlook without context. Cameo appearances of main characters in games like BBS have much more impact having played KH1 and KH2.Having this information going into the prequel games helps you understand context, whereas having information from the prequel games going into KH1 may feel like those threads were simply dropped or ignored.

The first four games feel very self-contained and mention very little about the rest of the franchise.

As the games go on, the series gets remarkably more complicated. The story was not planned in its entirety before KH1.I advise you play the games in release order rather than chronological order for a couple reasons: Birth by Sleep and x are prequels to KH1, while 358 takes place between Chain of Memories and KH2.

The Drive Gauge is locked, but Summons and Allies are available and Limits consume less MP than usual. There is also the Damage Points restriction with Sora starting out at 500 points. Sora fights alone, and cannot use Drives (with the exception of Limit Form in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix), but Summons are available.

You are not timed, and you have access to Drive Forms, Summons, and your allies. To unlock the cup you have to complete Space Paranoids for the second time.All Drive Forms and Summons must be on level 7 in both II and Final Mix.
