Short pointless question, do the ps4 releases of the KH1 and 2 share trophies with the ps3 releases? Thinking of buying the set with all games included. Doesn’t really matter just curious.

I want to say mine are separate. And that’s not the new bundle. That’s the two separate releases for both consoles. I may be wrong though and don’t have access to my console right now. When I get a chance I’ll come back and edit this with my confirmation.

You’re right, they are separate. Also the PS4 versions don’t give out any trophies for watching the movies like the PS3 versions did.

We going to get a game where Axel is turned into a cyborg are we?

If you think calling me names is gonna get a rise out me, think again. I like my life as an idiot!
So do we know what kind of recap/infodump there is for players returning to the series having not played anything since KH2? Didn't Nomura say there would be something to recap players? I know there are links at the start of the threat, but Nomura mentioned there would be something official.

Giant Bomb did a short stream earlier today (they couldn't show certain cutscenes) and according to them there's apparently some kind of recap

Considering that a coworker pointed out the fact that anyone who's never played a KH game, but decides to play it on the XBOne will have no idea what's going on*, there really should be some kind of recap.

* For whatever reason, NONE of the collections were released for XBox/XBOne, only PS3/PS4.

So in BBS, how you know if you got the 'kill 9999 trophy' since it a internal trophy and not one for the PS4 so no alert. It the only thing I need to get the epilogue in BBS with Aqua, but no real way to know in-game. Also what the best place to probably kill monsters.

Highest spawn location is the reactor area in the radiant garden. You can pretty much do it anywhere just load up on thundagas. I got it in my terra playthrough pretty easy but I farmed all the abilities and commands out for him before beating his story.

Probably can do it quickly as Aqua. Dunno why I am having a easier time with her on Proud then I was with Ven and Terra on Normal. Like she blazing through the game using magic like magnet + thunder that usually kills most enemies.

You know, I wasn't really hyped about this game, despite really looking forward to it, its always felt really far off despite being out next week, and spending all last year replaying everything, and then I caught a few minutes of the Giant Bomb stream of it and now I'm getting those little adrenaline pangs of pure hype. Kingdom fuckin Hearts III is out on fuckin tuesday! :sora:

One of the patch release notes was that there is a day-one patch that adds recaps for each of the previous games. Hopefully they’re better than the ones in DDD which were way too concise and missed tons of important details.

The tiny shred of good will that Dream Drop Distance got out of me for Symphony of Sorcery has immediately evaporated as I've come face to face with Anti Black Cloak Nightmare. What loving moron designed this boss? This blows.

(I'll go get some sleep and finish the drat game tomorrow)

The only real advice I can offer is to try to stay in the air as long as you can. I also had to go and grind up like 10 levels to beat him

I did not read the complete Polygon review of the game, because I wanted to go in as blind as possible, but skimming the first few paragraphs tells me that the reviewer did not care much for the game. To the point where I don't think the epilogue would have changed his mind. Check it out if you are looking for a contrary opinion I guess.

It seems like a lot of Dutch retailers ended up breaking the street date and shipping the game early. Not the one I ordered the game from, though. :negative:

Okay how did this happen AGAIN. I had trouble with Xigbar in Kingdom Hearts II, dying more to him then Xenmas. In BBS I died more to Braig then Vanitas-Ventus or Terra-Xehanort, granted the later was a pain, while Xenmas was just not a problem at all. But why I always trouble with the sniper.

There's a ton of recaps that are just someone going over a plot dump of the series, but are there any that cover why everyone's doing everything? I get what happened, but there's a lot I'm still unclear with poo poo like motivations and reasons.

Ha, BBS gave me the secret episode even through I didn't do the keyslinger 'trophy' (only had 4000 kills after beating Terra-Xehanort). I got all the balloons for everyone, but I think beating the game on Proud with Aqua made it use the critia for unlocking with Proud instead. That cool since that means I can finish that off and start up DDD tomorrow so I can finish this series off before 3.

Xehanort is basically a crazy evil scientist obsessed with darkness and so he and his other selves is doing all that poo poo in service of seeing what would happen after another keyblade war

everyone else going against him thinks that's awful and dumb as poo poo and want to stop him from doing his bullshit, since the last time a keyblade war happened, it caused the apocalypse

The only motivations that aren't "i want ultimate power to make the anime apocalypse happen because idk it'll be cool lol" and "loving stop that you dick" are Maleficent and Pete desperately trying to become the main antagonists

The PS4 versions also changed a few trophies. Playing the games on the highest difficulty gives you the trophies for the lower difficulties, instead of requiring separate playthroughs for each like ps3 did. The requirements for the gummi ship blueprints trophy in KH1 was also reduced from being completely absurd, to only needing a little extra effort from normal play.

With the highly anticipated “third” installment in the Kingdom Hearts franchise set to release soon, it has if me wondering if I can finally able to jump into the series despite missing out on the seemingly hundreds of previous titles, because I don’t want to read some 2000-page guide on how to play a goddamn video game.
