It was fun as fuck, but I didn't have the slightest clue as to what was going on. Because Dream Drop Distance is the latest in the timeline thus far. It's right before KH3.

That stupid damned iOS game Kingdom Hearts X is apparently the beginning of the timeline. I will be damned if I play that. It apparently has important stuff in it, so I'll just read about it or something.

But yeah, if you just jump into Kingdom Hearts by playing Dream Drop Distance first, you're not gonna understand a single thing because you've hopped into a spot where the characters and universe have been established and all sorts of things have happened and been revealed. It's like jumping into an anime on episode 150. "Who're you? What's that? Is that a bad guy? What's going on? WHAT'RE THEY TALKING ABOUT?!!" People who've at least played KH1 and KH2 know who Sora, Riku, Kairi, Xehanort, Lea, etc are, though not all of them are gonna know right off the bat that Axel's human name was Lea.
